Both Candidates Guilty of Fraud. Rep. Charles C. Bowman of the eleventh Pennsylvania district, was unseated by the by the passage, 153 to 118 of a resolution declaring that corrupt practices had been used in his election in 1912. At the same time the house refused 181 to 88, to seat George R. McLean, his democrat opponent. It was charged on the floor that he had been guilty of the same practice as were alleged against Bowman. The seat from the eleventh district will be vacant until March 4, when it will be filled by John J. Casey, a democrat, elected in November. Law Is Aimed at "Wild Cat" Concerns. Rep. Hinkley, of Emmett, will be the member of the house to Introduce the "blue sky" law at the coming session of the legislature, as prepared by state officials who are studying the question. By the adoption of this law, freak wild cat investment associations now thriving on revenues derived from the sale of worthless investments, will come directly under the supervision of the Michigan securities commission, composed of the state banking commissioner, state treasurer and the attorney general. receiver, basing his opinion upon a federal statute. He also holds that a railroad company, whether in the hands of a receiver or not, can properly be held to be a common carrier of perishable shipments, and that the right of a carrier to limit its liability can be entered into by a written contract with a shipper, though not to the extent of absolving the carrier from liability for negligence. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Men who have made a study of "spending conditions" in the fedjeral service believe and have reported that more than $100,000,000 a year can be saved to the government if certain recommendations for economy be observed, and the clajjn is that this saving can be made without in any way crippling the service. It is probable that before the next congress ends the entire system of making appropriation*^ will be changed, that many bureaus will be consolidated and the supply bills cut many millions of dollars, the money saved to be used for extending the useful services of the government to fields not already covered. When Theodore Roosevelt was president he appointed what was known as "the Keep commission." It was the duty of Mr. Keep and his colleagues to study business methods in vogue in the different departments and to see how the work could be shortened and yet be just as effective as it was under existing conditions. Start Made On Economy. When President Taft came into office one of the first things he did was to call his cabinet officers together to urge upon them the necessity of economic administration. Secretary MacVeagh was made the chairman of a cabinet committee charged with the work of economic administration. It was soon discovered that in single departments of the government the different bureaus purchased their supplies independently of one another and that different prices were paid for precisely the same article. One bureau for instance would pay two or three cents a dozen more for lead pencils than another bureau was paying foe the same article of the same manufacture. A good many economies, small as compared to the saving which it is lished, were made. It was a start, however, for greater things. The system which was in vogue in the treasury department, or perhaps it had better he called a lack of system, was the same which held in nearly every other department of government. All the secretaries got busy in the saving venture and there was an "economic spurt" all along the line. Not long after the first initial economic venture President Taft appointed a commission on economy and efficiency with Frederick A. Cleveland as its chief. This commission has been at w?ork for more thon two years and it has worked out an elaborate and yet at the same time simple scheme for saving Uncle Sam money. •* Budget System Approved. President-Elect Wilson has sanctioned the budget system of appro- State Can't Educate Tubercular Children. Michigan has made no provisions for educating its children barred from the public schools on account of tuberculosis., it develops through a case in Roscommon county, where a child, an "open case" of tuberculosis, has been barred from the schools and is. now in the county poor Jiouse without any provi3;un for education. Quits House of Correction. John L. McDonell, for 13 years superintendent of the Detroit house of correction, connected with the institution for the last 28 years and known as one of the foremost penologists In the country, has tendered his resignation to the board of directors. The resignation, which takes effect June 1, 1913. That there is a need for a state game preserve is the statement of Representative James Henry, of Battle Creek, author of a bill setting aside a tract of land in the upper peninsula. A special investigating committee recently appointed by the board of supervisors will visit the Detroit house of correction on Dec. 17, to get pointers for a reformatory, which the board plans to build in Kalamazoo county. Pierce to Succeed Himself. Charles S. Pierce, clerk of the house of representatives, will be a candidate to succeed himself. Pierce claims to have enough votes pledged to insure hie election. Despite reports to the contrary, Pierce will not be a candidate for secretary of the house domain ooirmission to succeed A. C. Carton, who becomes land commis sioner the first of the year. Young Elected to Congress. H. Olln Young, republican, was given a certificate of election by the state board of canvassers to the office of congressman in the twelfth district m the upper peninsula, The decision was based on an opinion given by tho attorney general's department. The decision means the defeat of th* progressive candidate, William J. McDonald. While Prof. W. B. Pillsbury, of the physiological department of the U. qf M n at Ann Arbor, was lecturing to his class he suddenly lost his mind, Physicians said the affliction was caused by an attack of acute indi- Frank Bliss, 72 years old, wealthy Lake Odessa farmer, charged with shooting Ed Willett a former Muskegon boxer, told his story of the affair on the stand, denying he had intended to In any way harm Willett.

One daughter was born shortly before midnight Friday and the other early Saturday morning. Mrs. M. B.

Governor Ross gestion, and that he will recover, ^will be asked to participate. priations which has been urged by the present president and by the commission on economy and efficiency, budget system all the appropriations asked for go to dozens of committees of congress. For instance, the naval appropriation is acted on by several different committees, each one taking a part and no one of them knowing just what the other is doing. The result is a scattering of energies and a scattering of money. Under the budget system all the apropriations will be considered by the chairmen of different committees acting together. They thus can get concrete knowledge of the whole situation at once and by intelligent direction can stop many holes of waste. If the economy and efficiency commission's recommendations finally be adopted by congress it Is believed that the agricultural interests of the country largely will be aided. There are bills now in congress looking to this very thing, but the cost is said to be prohibitive because of the present extravagant methods. With a saving of $100,000,000 a year, and some of the experts place It as high as $300,000,00 a year, many of the helpful measures now under consideration by the law makers can be passed, the money will be forthcoming, and the treasury will be just as well off as it is,now and the benefits to the people will be multiplied. This matter is going to be a live issue in congress from now on. Postmasters Fear for Jobs. Naturally the Democrats of both house and senate are looking ahead to the glad time when they will come into full possession of the administratioji in all its branches. The Democratic leaders are nonplussed as to what to do about the blanket civil service executive order issued by President Taft not long before the election, the effect of which was to put nearly 40,000 postmasters of the country on the civil service list. It goes without saying perhaps that nearly all of these postmasters are Republicans, many of whom have held office for years and who, unless the executive order be set aside, will continue to draw their pay from Uncle Sam for the years to come or untty death. or, i misconduct removes tnem ^rom their delivery windows. There are few Republican leaders 1 who find any fault at all with their Democratic colleagues for urging tbftt President-elect Wilson set aside the civil service executive order of President Taft as soon after March 4 as possible. A good many of the Republicans are willing to confess that it uld have been a hard blow to their party organization if years ago |ail the postmasters of the country had been removed from the field of political appointments. They say they would have'resented it and that they cannot honestly complain because the Democrats now are seeking to prepare to have the order rescinded. The Republicans of course say that tho postmasters ought to be kept on the civil service list, but that this fact naturally does not prevent Democratic resentment because the order was issued just at a time to do damage to the faithful who have been waiting long for preferment. For years labor has asked that a new department of government should be created to deal alone with labor problems, with a labor member in the president's cabinet as its presiding chief Not long before he set sail for Bermuda, President-elect Wilson expressed a desire to have a labor chief in his family circle. The Republicans in the past have not been averse to the establishment of a labor department. The Democrats in the main seem to be for it, and so It is probable that one of the legislative acts of moment of the present session will be to establish such a department and to* give Mr. Wilson the right to name an additional member of the cabinet. Moving Day Approaches. To a great many people Washington will not be Washington after March 4. The day following the inauguration, or at any rate some day not far removed from it will b.e "moving day" for hosts of long time Washington residents, calling themselves temporary residents, but honing that as the years went on they finally might write the adjective "permanent" before the noun. Wrhat changes will take place in Washington in the personnel of the existing office forces? Well, of course, first and foremost there is the president who must move with his family and his law library to the old home* on the hanks of the Ohio river. Prior to the day of moving from the White House Mr. Taft will entertain for two days his coming successor as chief executive, and the successor's good wife. Philander Chase Knox, the secretary of state, on March 4 will give way to William Jennings Bryan possibly, or certainly to some other good Democrat of the country. Mr. Knox has been in Washington in one official capacity or another for a good many yeers, and he has a fine old home on K street *where with Mrs. Knox he entertains in a hospitable spirit Republicans, Democrats, Progressive- Republican's and Progressives alike, to say nothing of foreigners and the casual American visitors to Washington. It is said that Mr. Knox will move only from the state department and that he will keep his K street house for nine month3 a year and will spend the other three months in the state 0! Pennsylvania which, after he had been attorney general in the Roosevelt cabinet sent him to the senate. i MacVeagh Will Not Depart. Franklin MacVeagh, secretary ;of the treasury, is the only other cabinet officer who will not move from: Washington when some good Democratic financier takes his seat in the big building where Uncle Sam's money is kept. Two years ago next Christmas day Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh presented her husband with a house* on Sixteenth street. Mr. MacVeagh from the windows of his residence .at the time saw the Christmas gift building rising stone by stone only a block or two away, but he had no idea who wa3 building It or who. was to live in it. Finally it was completed and, as the children say, the secretary of the treasury found the new residence "in his stocking" on Christmas morning with the "Merry Christmas card" of his wife attached. Mr. MacVeagh, it is understood, will not return to Chicago, but will continue to live ia Washington in his holiday gift house. Secretary of Commerce and Labor Charles Nagel will return to St. Louis to take up the practice of the law. Secretary of the Interior Walter L. Fisher will return to Chicago to continue the course of court pleading and of closet counseling which he followed' before Mr Ta/t called him to Washington. Attorney General George W. Wickersham also will return to the law^ and probably will become a member again of the old established New York firm with which he severed his connection when bidden to come to Washington. Hitchcock May Enter Business. Frank H. Kitchcock, postmaster general, it is currently reported, has been offered eight different business positions from time to time if he would consent to give up directing Uncle Sam's mail matters and would return to business life. It is not known whether Mr. HitcJicbcfe will acceiit one of these former offers or will wait for a new and more attractive one, but the confirmed word is that he is to enter business in New York city. Secretary of .War Henry L. Stimson and the Secretary of the, Navy George Von L. Meyler will go back to tjie law in the one case and to business in the4 other. It is possible, however, that Mr. Meyer still may have political ambitions and that he may, strive4 one day to. W made United States senator from Massachusetts. James Wilson, who has been secretary pt agriculture since the year 1897 and!has broken all records of continuous cabinet service, finally is to go back to private life. Mr. Wilson will move, it is sand, to an Iowa farm. M A R T H A B E L L I N G E R copy/?/6wr /9// x % r s o s b s -fir£/e/i/LL cqa/pa//y CHAPTER ». Twilight in the Park. "You may wait, Renaud." The voice was firm, but the lady herself hesitated at* she stepped from the tonneau. There was no answer. Holding the flapping ends of her veil away from her face, she turned and looked fairly at the driver of the machine. He seemed a businesslike, capable man, though certain minor details of his chauffeur's rig were a bit unusual, and now thai he had been obliged, by some discomfort, to remove his goggles, his face appeared pleasant and quite untanned. His passenger noted these things, remarking: "Oh, it isn't Renaud!" "No, Mademoiselle; Renaud hadn't showed up at the office when you telephoned, so they put me on in his place." "Ah. I see." Accent seemed to imply, however, that she was not quite pleased "The manager sent you. And your name is—?" "My name—rather odd name— Hand." The face half hidden behind the veil ^remained impassive. A moment's hesitation, and then the lady turned away with a short, "You will wait?" "As mademoiselle wishes. Or shall I perhaps follow slowly along the drive?* "No, wait here. I shall returnsoon" The young woman walked away, erect, well-poised, lifting skirts skillfully as she paused a moment at the top of the stone steps leading down into the tiny park. The driver of the machine, free from observation, allowed a perplexed look to occupy his countenance "What the devil is to pay if she doesn't return—soon!" The avenue lifts a camel's hump toward the sky in the space of fifteen blocks, and on the top, secure as the howdah of a chieftain, stands the noble portico of the old college To the westward, as every one knows, lie the river and the mdre pretentious park;* on the east an abrupt descent offers space for a small grassy playground for children, who may be seen, during the sunny hours of the day. romping over the slope. As the gaze of the woman swept over the charming little pleasance. and beyond, over the miles of sign-boards, roofs, chimneys and intersecting streets, the serious look disappeared from her face Summer haze and distance shed a gentle beauty over what Fhe knew to be a clamoring city— New York Angles were softenpd, noises subdued, sensational scenes lost in the dimmed perspective To a chance observer, the prospect would have been deeply suggestive; in the woman it stirred many memories She put back her veil; her face glowed; a long sigh escaped her lips Slowly she walked down the steps, along the sloping path to a turn, where she sank down on a bench. A rosy, tired child, rather the worse for mud-pies, and hanging reluctantly at the hand of a nonchalant nurse, brought a bit of the woman's emotion to the surface, She smiled radiantly at tbe lagging infant. The face revealed by the uplifted veil was of a type to accompany the youthful but womanly figure and the spirited tread. Beautiful she would be counted, without doubt, by many an observer; those who loved her would call her beautiful without stjnt. But more appealing than her beauty was the fine spirit—a strong free spirit, loving honesty and courage— which glowed like a flame behind her beauty Best of all, perhaps, was a touch of quaintness, a slightly comic twist to her lips, an Imperceptible alertness of manner, which revealed to the initiated that she had a sense of humor In excellent running order. It was evident that the little excursion was of the nature of a pilgrimage. The idle hour, the bit of holiday, be* catne a memorial, as recollection brought back to her the days of eh?ld« hood spent down yonder, a few squares away, in this very city They seemed bright In retrospect, like "the pleasant paths of a quiet garden, but.they had ended abruptly, and had been followed by years of activity and colorful experience in another country Through it nil what anticipations had been lodged in her return to Home! Something there would complete the story—the «tory with Its secret ecstasies and as* tvirationsr-the story of the ardent miners of youth Withdrawing her g&e from the •ene below, though with apparent t*ectance, she took from the pocket of " coat an opened envelope which regarded a moment with thought" P^.. before drawfno frirtb the enclosures. There were two letters, one of which was brief and written in bad script on a single sheet of paper bearing a legal head. It was dated at Charlesport, Maine, and stated that the writer, in conformity with the last wish of his friend and client, Hercules Thayer, was ready to transfer certain deeds and papers to the late Mr. Thayer's designated heir, Agatha Redmond; also thatt the writer requested an interview at Miss Redmond's earliest convenience. Holding the half-opened sheets in her hand, the lady closed her eyes and sat motionless, as if in the grasp of an absorbing thought. With the disappearing child, the signs of life on the hillside had diminished. The traffic of the street passed far nelow, the sharp click-click of a pedestrian now and then sounded above, but no one passed her way. The hum of the city made a blurred wash of sound, like the varying yet steady wash of the sea. As she opened her eyes again, she saw that the twilight had perceptibly deepened. Far away, lights began to flash out in the city, as if a million fireflies, by twos and threes and dozens, were waking to their nocturnal revelry. On the hill the light was still good, and the lady turned again to her reading. The other letter was written on single sheets of thin paper in an oldfashioned, beautiful hand. Wherever a double-s occurred, the first was written long, in a style of-sixty years ago; and the whole letter was as easily legible as print. Across the top was written: "To Agatha Redmond, daughter of my ward and dear friend. Agatha Shaw Redmond;" and below that, in the lawyer's choppy handwriting, was a date of nearly a year previous. As Agatha Redmond read the second letter, a smile, half of sadness, half of pleasure, overspread her countenance. It ran as follows; "Ilion, Maine. "My Dear Agatha: I take my pen in hand to address you, the daughter of the dearest friend of my life, for the first time in the twenty-odd years of your existence. Once as a child you saw me, and you have doubtless heard my name from your mother's people from time to time; but I can scarcely hope *that any knowledge of my private life has come to you. It will be easy, then, for you to pardon an old man for giving you, in this fashion, tbe confidence he has never been able to bestow in the flesh, "When . you read this epistle, my dear Agatha, I shall have stepped into that next mystery, whieh is Death. Indeed, the duty which I am now discharging serves as partial preparation for that very event. This duty is to make you heir to my house and estate and to certain accessory funds which well enable you to keep up the place. "You may regard this act, possibly, as the idiosyncrasy of an unbalanced mind; it is certain that some of my kinsfolk will do so. But while I have been able to bear up under their greater or less displeasure for many years. I find myself/shrinking before the possibility of dying absolutely unknown and forgotten by you. Your mother, Agatha Shaw, of blessed memory now for many years, was my ward and pupil after the death of your grandfather. I think I may say without undue self-congratulation that few women of their time have enjoyed as sound a scheme of education as your mother. She had a knowledge of mathematics, could construe both in Latin and Greek, and had acquired a fair mastery of tho historic civilization of the Greeks, Egyptians and ancient Babylonians. While these attainments would naturally be Insufficient tor a man's work in life, yet for a woman they were of an exceptional order "Sufficient to say that In your mother's character these noteworthy abilities were supplemented by gracious, womanly arts; and when she arrived at maturity, I offered her the honor of marriage, • "It is painful for me to recall the scene an^ the consequences of your mother's refusal of my hand, oven after these years of philosophical reflection It were idle for a man of parts to allow a mere preference in; regard to his domestic situation to Influence his course of action In any essential manner, and I have never permitted my career to be shaped by such details. But from that time, however, the course of ray life was changed From the impassioned orator and preacher I was transformed into the man of books and the study, and since then I have lived far from the larger concourses of men. My weekly sermon* for twenty years, ha* btfenthe essence of my weekly toil in establishing the authenticity, first, of the entire second gospel, and second, of the ten doubtful verses in the fifteenth chapter. My work is now accomplished— for all time, I believe. "From the inception of what I considered my lite mission, I made the resolve to bequeath to Agatha Shaw whatever manuscripts or other material of value my work should lead me to accumulate, together with this house, in which I have spent all the later years of my life. You are Agatha'Shaw's only child, therefore to me a foster-child. "Another reason, four years ago, led me to confirm my former testament. From time to time I have informed myself concerning your movements and fortunes. The work you have chosen, my dear Agatha, I can but believe to be fraught with unusual dangers to a young woman. Therefore I hop3 that this home, modest as it is, may tempt you to an early retirement from the stage, and lead you to a more private and womanly career. This I make only as a request, not as a condition. I bid you farewell, and give you my blessing. "Faithfully yours, "HERCULES THAYER.'* Agatha Redmond folded the thin sheets carefully. There was a mist in her gaze as she looked off toward the distant city lights. "Dear old gentleman! His whole love-story, and my mother's too, perhaps!" Her quickened memory recalled childish impressions of a visit to a large country house and, of a solemn old man—he seemed incredibly ancient to her—and of feeling that in some way she and her mother were in a special relationship to the house. It was called "the old Ted house," and was full of fascinfting things. The ancient man had bidden her go about and play as if it were her home, and then had called her to him and laid open a book, leading her mind to regard its mysteries. Greek! It seemed toTier as if she had begun it there and then. Later the mother became the teacher. She was nursed, as it were, within sight of the windy plains of Troy and to the sound of Homeric hymns—and all by reason of this ancient scholar. There was a vivid picture in her mind, gathered at some later visit, of a soft hillside, a small white church standing under its balm-of-gilead tree, and herself sitting by a stone in the old churchyard, listening to the strains of a hymn which floated out from the high, narrow windows, She remembered how from without she had joined the hymn, singing with all her small might; and suddenly the association brought back to her a more recent event and a more beautiful strain of music. Half in reverie, half in conscious pleasure in the exercise of a facile organ, she began to sing: "Free of ray pain, free of my burden of sorrow, At last I shall 3ee thee—" The song floated in 'a zone of si; lence that lay above the deep-murmuring city. The voice was no more than the half-voice of a flute, sweet, gentle, beguiling. It told, as many songs tell, of little earthly Love in tbe grasp of mighty Fate. Still she sang on softly. Suddenly the song ceased, and the reminiscent smile gave place to an expression of surprise, as the singer became conscious of a deeper shadow falling directly in front of her. She glanced up quickly, and found herself looking into the face of a man whose gimlet-like gaze was directed upon herself Quickly she rose, she could not turn into the path before the gentleman, hat in hand, with a deep bow and clearly enunciated words, arrested her impulse to flight. "Pardon, Mademoiselle, I am a stranger in the city. I was directed this way to Van Cortlandt Hall, but I find I am in error, intrigued—in confusion. Would mademoiselle be so good as to direct me?" The tones had a foreign accent. There was something, also, In their bland impertinence which put Miss Redmond on her guard. He was a good-sized, blond person, carefully dressed, and at least appeared like a gentleman. Miss Redmond looked into the smooth, neat countenance, upon which no record either of experience or of thought was engraved, and decided flcetingly that ho was lying. She judged him c ipable of picking up acquaintances on the street, but thought that more originality might be expected of him; Suddenly she wished that she had returned sooner to her car, for though she was of an adventurous nature, her bravery was not ot the physical order; and she disliked* to have"the appear* ance of unconvj^tion/ifity. After the first minute Ihe -was not so much afraidf as annoyed- Her voice became frigid, though her dignity was somewhat damaged by the fact that she bungled in giving the desired information. "I think monsieur will find Van Cortlandt Pali in the College grounds two blocks south—no, north—of the gateway yonder, at the upper end of this walk." "Ah, mademoiselle is but too kind!" He bowed deeply again, hat in hand. "I thank you profoundly.. And may I say, also, that this wonderful picture—" here he spread eloquent hands toward the half-quiescent city whose thousand eyes glimmered over the lower distance—"this panorama of occidental life, makes a peculiar appeal to the imagination?" The springs of emotion, touched potently as they had been by the surging recollections of the last half-hour, were faintly stirred again in Miss Redmond's heart by the stranger's grandiloquent words. Unconsciously her features relaxed, though she did not reply. "Again I pray mademoiselle to pardon me, but only a moment past I heard the song—the song that might be the sigh of all the daughters of Italy. Ah, Mademoiselle, it is wonderful! But here In this so fresh country, this youthful, boisterous, too prosperous country, that song Is like —like—like Arabian spices in a kitchen. Is it not so?" Miss Redmond was moving up the steps toward the entrance, hesitating between the desire to snub her interlocutor and to avoid the appearance of fright. The man, meanwhile, moved easily beside her, courteously distant, discourteously insistent in his prattle. But the motor-car was now not far away. The stranger looked appealingly at her, seemingly sure of a humorous answering look to his pleasantry. It was not wholly denied. She yielded to a touch of amusement with a cool s^tftSe, and hastened her steps. The man kept pace without effort. Luckily, the car stood only a few feet away, with Renaud, or rather Hand, at the curb, holding open the door. A vague bow and a lifting of the hat,' and apparently the stranger went the other way. She felt a foolish relief, and at the same instant noted with surprise that the cover of her ear had been raised. "Why did you raise the top?" "It appeared to me, Mademoiselle, that it was likely to rain." "Put it down again. It will not rain," Miss Redmond was saying, when, from sidelong eyes, she saw that the stranger had not turned in the other direction, after all, but was almost in her tracks, as though he were stalking game. With foot on the step she said sharply, but in a low voice. "To the Plaza quickly." then Immediately added, with a characteristic practical turn: "But don't get yourself arrested for speeding." "No, Mademoiselle, with this car I can make—'\ Even as the chauffeur replied, Miss Redmond's sharpened senses detected a passage of glances between him and the stranger, now close behind her. She sprang into the tonneau and seized the door, but not before the man had caught at it with a stronger hold, and stepped in close after her. The chauffeur was in his seat, the car was moving slowly, now faster and faster. Suddenly the bland countenance slid very near her own. while firm hands against her shoulders crowded her into the farther corner of the tonneau, "O Renaud—Hand!" she cried, but the driver made no sign. "Help, help!" she shrieked, but the cry was instantly choked into a feeble protest A mass of something, pressed to her mouth and nostrils, incited her to superhuman efforts. She struggled frantically, and succeeded in getting her head for an instant at the opening, while she clutched hpr aseailant and held him helpless But only for a moment The firm large hand quickly overpowered even the strength tnduced by frenzy, and in another minute she was lying unresisting on the soft cushions of the tonneau The car careened through the streets, the figure of the unresponsive Hand mocked her cries for heln. the neat hard face of the stranger continued to bend over her Th*n everything swam in a maelstrom of duller and duller sense, the world grew darker and fainter, till finally it was lost in silence CHAPTER ii. Hambleton of Lynn. The Hambletons of Lynn had not distinguished themselves, in late generations at least, by remarkable deeds, though their deportment was such as to imply that they could if they would They/ frankly regarded themselves as the elect of earth, if not of Heaven, always, however, with a becoming modesty Sfnce 1636 the family had pieced out its existence in the New World, tenaciously clinging to many of its old-country habits it had kept the "bM in the family name, for instance, it had kept the name itself out of trade, and It had indulged its. love of country life fit the expense of more than one Hambleton fortune. A daughter-in-law was once reported as saying that It would have been a good thing if some Hambleton had embarked in trade, since in that case they might have been saved from devoting* themselves exclusively to an Illustration of polite poverty She was never forgiven, and died without being reconciled to the family. As to the spelling of the name, the family claimed ancestral authority as far back as King Fergus the First Mrs. Van Camp, a relative by marriage—a woman considered by-the "-beet—Hambletons as farmed $vmk adxd worldlyminded*— Informed the •family that King Fergus was as much a myth as Dido, and Innocently brought forth printed facts to corroborate her statement. One of the ladies Hambleion crushed Mrs. Van Camp by stating, in a tone of deep personal conviction, with her cap awry, "So much the wora« for Dido!" A salient strength persisted in the Hambletons—-a strength which retained its character in spite of crosscurrents. The Hambleton tone and the Hambleton ideas retained their familv color, and became, whether worthily or not, a part of the Hambleton pride. More than one son had lost his health or entire fortune, which was apt not to be large. In attempts to carry on a country pjace. "A Hambleton trait!" they chuckled, with as much satisfaction as thev considered it good form to exhibit. Ir> Lynn, where family pride did not bring in large returns, this phrase became almost synonymous with genteel foolishness. The Van Camp fortune, which came near but nevp actually into the family, was generally understood to have been made in/£ju>es, though in reality it was drugs "People say 'shoes' the minute the*y hear the word Lynn, and I'm tired of explaining," Mrs. Van Camp put it.

Jimsy received this advice at the time with small enthusiasm, and a reservation of criticism that" was a credit to his manners, at least. But the time came when he leaned on it. Her own child, however, Mrs. Van Camp encouraged to a profession from the first. "Aleck isn't smart enough for business, but he may do something as a student," was Mrs Van Camp's somewhat trying explanation; and Aleck did do something as a student. Extremely impatient with any exhibition of laziness, the mother demanded a good accounting of her son's time. Aleck and Jim, who were born in the same year, ran more or less side by side until the end of college. They struggled together in Bports and in arguments, "rushed" the same girl in turn or simultaneously, and spent their long vacations cruising up and down the Maine coast in a thirty-foot sail-boat. Once they made a more ambitious Journey all the way to Yarmouth and the Bay of Fundy in a good-sized fishing-smack. But when college was done, their ways separated. Mrs. Van Camp, in the prime of her unusual faculties, having decorated the Hambleton 'scutcheon like a gay cockade stuck airily up into the breeze. She had no part nor lot in the family pride, but understood it, perhaps, better than the Hambletons themselves Her crime was that she played with it.

Chlcatfe H E N Indian summer passes and the first blasts of winter blow across the prairies and into the canyon streets of the city crime increases. Search the files of the newspapers and there the seeker after a great and significant fact "will see that there has been a "wave of crime" during the tirst months of winter every year for twenty years. When winter 1ms worn out its bitterness and the first gentle suggestion of Spring is in the air then crime begins to decrease. There are iewer burglaries and highway robberies; petty thefts and petty swindling becomes less frequent. These are facts that any newspaper, any experienced policeman or any careful observer will verify. Crime increases when the cold days come and decreases with the advance of spring. With winter living becomes harder; coal is necessary, more food is •needed, new clothing is demanded. Thousands find life terribly difficult in the summer time and with the change of the aspect of nature many find that self-preservation drives them to charity, or to the other alternative •for.a poor person, and that is theft in some form. The women and children and the weaker men go to charitv. The stronger men, finding the way to an honest living barred by what they conceive to be insurmountable obstacles, become robbers.

The "American Dictionary and Encyclopedia," 11)00, says in part, regarding the house sparrows, which are our common sparrows: "They differ from the country bird in being dirtier, and, if possible, more daring. From a high antiquity their great fecundity, their attachment to their young, their extreme pugnacity and the large tolls they levy on the farmer and market gardener have been commented on by writers on ornithology. But opinions differ ou the subject of their (alleged service to man in destroying insect pests. Farmers have, however, Settled the question to their own satisfaction and in many places a small sum is paid for the destruction of these birds, the legislatures of some of the states having made^ppropriations for this fund." J. H.Gurney, in "The House Sparrow," 1885, conclusively shows from a number of dissections that the sparrow's food to the amount of 75 per cent, consists of grain and only 1(J per cent, of insects. 9 Dr. Coues, in "The English Sparrow in America,'* 1885, says that "these birds, introduced to keep down insect life, have proved a failure and are now generally regarded as a distinct curse." And it may be seen from observation that the sparrow is destructive to public and private buildings where allowed to nest and raise young. 'They are also quarrelsome and noisy and will prevent song birds from inhabiting groves or orchards near dwelling houses. But they will not fhemselves inhabit extensive groves or timbered tracts any great distance removed from human habitations. F a c t o r I n M a k i n g U l t i m a t e S u c c e s s By OTTO J. KRAMPIKOWSKY k Co-operation when practiced at the proper time is one of the prime factors to success. When in a large institution the officers and employees co-operate in their various capacities such efforts are bound to aid tho institution or corporation in its growth and future success. Co-operation, however, is like the mechanism of a watch; it is a very delicate subject and must be handled tenderly and carefully looked after by the superior officers. A watch, you know, is liable to get out of order, and if the difficulty is not remedied immediately it will stop running. It is the same thing with co-operation in any large institution. The moment it ceases, through lack of interest on the part of the employers in the welfare of their employees, there is bound to be a loss and sometimes ultimate disaster. A failure in co-operation comes through dissatisfaction on the part of the employees, due to prevailing wrong conditions, which could be very easily remedied if looked into by the superior officers. The writer does not believe that it is alone in the tenement districts that the doctrine of fresh air should be preached. Every morning when I take my train from fashionable Woodlawn I notice how the otherwise intelligent populace of that aristocratic suburb rush for the little germinfested coops built by the railroad as wait ing rooms. They will crowd into these little houses where there isn't a particle of air until they can't crowd another one in, and breathe and re-breathe each other's exhalations until ^ all" be poisoned, as indeed they are. this: fall has .been particularly beautiful and the. air k jjith all the health-giving qualities in the world, it's free and to iljfc and strength, but thousands of our people that really er would| ratb«f breathe every germ in the world than , •"-. •'• • •. «• ' > • ' » ft**../ W O M A N ' S low in imagination every act and thought and word of tiiis boy >niarkedv to die in such great disgrace.

It was very brutal and stupid, a murder in the dregs. The man had the frame of an ox and the mind of a bad child. But the vigil that his homely, lowly mother kept outside the prison walls isn't forgotten, nor how she came to the village of Ossining and sold newspapers, chewing gum and shoelaces so that she might pay for a bed and food there jn the last week of his life. Twice she was permitted to see him. A screen fixed three feet away from his cell door barred her from more than touching the tips of his shaking fingers each time they met. She said nothing to him directly. She simply looked at him with straining eyes while she kissed the cross of her rosary. But on the last night of his life she didn't sleep. From tbe fall of darkness she haunted the road directly outside the prison wails. Somehow she had heard of the significance of the dim- ! miug of the lights at dawn. When ' she saw it she fell on her knees iu the l dust of the road. , The vigils of all the women who OLD SOLDIER TELLS A STORY (reminiscences of Winter Fifty Year* Ago At*© Related by Veteran Attacked by Woodticki "Fifty years ago at this time," said ihe old soldier, "we were where it was warmer, on an island well down on tbe southern Atlantic coast. "As far as the temperature went, it was very comfortable. And it was also picturesque as to scenery. There were palmetto trees around and big oaks with long brown moss hanging from them, and trees of various sorts. Also there was now and then a centipede crawling around and there wejse woodticks nad fleas, and occasionally an alligator. "At first the woodticks bothered us considerably till we learned bow tohandle them. This particular brand of woodtick has a spiral head not unlike the point of a gimlet and it bores into the flesh. At first when we found woodticks attacking us we used to pull them out or we thought we did, but by pulling on them we left the head in the flesh. Later, when we had learned to unscrew them, we got along better with the woodticks, but the fieas always bothered us.

Save for such few hours as she may have to engage herself in household duties and now and then a walk on the country roads she is always watching the prison, writes Stuart Clyde in the New York World When the long drawn morning whistle shrieks above the prison walls her watch begins and her mind's eye faithfully pictures a big, pallid-faced man walking through the steel corri dors on his way with a long line of companions to the worshop benches, a man in whose blue eyes is a queer, half-insano light of hope.

Mrs. Becker's Turn to Suffer. Another woman now has been doomed to take up the vigil Mrs. Patrick once kept on the death house—the little, pretty wife of the convicted Policeman Becker. Such good fortune as came to Patrick may not come to her; so it may be her fate some morning to watch the frightful dimming of the lights that will spell for her the news that the man she still faithfully continues to love has suffered the shameful murderers death. Mrs. Patrick has met Mrs. Becker at the gate of Sing Sing and she has taught her all the little tricks of plan and thought, by which, with love to strengthen the effort, she can almost feel her husband's presence and know his thoughtB and actions every hour of the day, although thick stone walls, steel doors and screens hold them relentlessly apart. If they were assembled at the prison gate the women, young and old, who have kept such gruesome vigils through days, weeks and sometimes months, the line would be long and * even more pitiable to look upon than ! the ashen faces of the death house men.

And there was fine old Mrs. Molineux who for more than two years lived in sight of the prison where her son Roland was caged, jealously guarding' every little extra privilege that could be begged of the warden in the matter of the frequency of her visits and the length of time they might endure. She even wheedled the warden into permitting ice cream that his own keepers should purchase to be given her son, with a share for all the other men around him. To this day Molineux, since retried and acquitted, has not forgotten how delicious that ice cream tasted in the hot, fetid air of the deathhouse. Even now every little while he sends to the warden a check with a request that the men confined where he was once be allowed this wonderfully refreshing treat/ 1 bear hauling over them heavy guna and mortars.

Once a month she leaves her window and walks to the gloomy prison and enters at the gate. She can see him then with bars between them. She can have an hour's talk. And in these talks he has described to her minutely every detail of his prison life and they have agreed on certain hours when they would en-' gage in common thoughts. She watches the carriages that come daily winding up the hill and wonders what nature of man may be sitting shackled to a deputy sheriff within, what his crime has been, what punishment he faces. Sometimes she can see in far corners of the prison grounds men digging holes in the ground that mean that some wretch has secured freedom by way of the grave. One Woman's Vigil Made Easier. But her vigil now is not as hideous as it once was, for this woman is the wife of Albert S. Morris, and for a time he was condemned to death. Then she lived in a heart-rending horror of some morning's dawn when she would see from her window the sudden dimming of the corridor lights through the ugly-barred windows of the prison down the hill. She had learned that this sudden dimming of the lights and then almost as suddenly their flaring up again held a terrible meaning—a meaning well known also to the men inside. When they set It some moan and others scream. And in the death house tbe men. behind tbe black curtains of theip^cells can only try to scream and ctioke^on the utterance.

They find their way to Ossining. taking up abode for a little time in whatever stranger's houBe may be induced to harbor them, staring out of the windows by day and night at the prison which looms huge over all things in their outlook, staring with eyes of horror at every sunset that paints the Hudson gloriously, awakening with a sickening heart at the break of every new day, each of these things symbolizing the slow but inevitable approach of the thing they dread. Only One Signal of Death. When the day of death for the one they love has fallen—the killing stroke delivered—tbe only signal that is given these watchers is that dimming of the lights. There has not been for many years that old sign;—the dropping of a flag. Only once in two ,dec« ades has that signal been given, and that was when a woman—Martha Place—went to, the chair. Great effort was made to save her from the terrific degradation. A mob cluttered at the prison entrance. The guards there turned eyes down to a little square prison yard in which there is a door through which the witnesses of the execution had passed. A big man came out and held aloft a white banc kerchief. He lowered his arm slowly, the handkerchief fluttering slightly in his fingers. The guards faced the crowd and said coldly: "Mrs. Place is dead." The crowd groaned and started to shuffle away. Then it halted sharply. Ferret eyes from the barred windows above had seen the slow, fluttering fall of the handkerchief and soundless Hps had passed tbe message along, tier over tier.

Ragtime is not as bad as some people would make it appear, according to Victor . Schertzinger, a violinist, remarks the Los Angeles Evening Herald. "There has lately gone up a great hue and cry against so-called ragtime in cafes and hotels as well as in other places," he said. "Personally, I believe there is much to be gained from ragtime. "A composer must hearken to the call of the public if he wanfs to make a livelihood. And there is no denying the fact that there is a real demand for popular melodies. "A Bach fugue may be artistically ideal, but it does not produce bread and butter. Take Victor Herbert's 'Natoma,' for instance. It is one of the most beautiful operas extant, but it is not a financial success. The reason is that the general public is not educated musically to appreciate that class of music. Educate the public gradually and then the better, the nobler musical works will be the popular music. "Victor Herbert's reputation is not based on classical music. His greatest successes perhaps are 'Coon Bambasha,' 'The Red Mill/ 'Babes in Toyland' and one or two others. In fact, his reputation is based on those works, largely. In every one there is a tinge of ragtime, so-called." Whistler's H6>se Trade. Boggs, a cadet officer at West Point, was an assistant in the riding hall. Ore one occasion he overheard Whistler (the famous artist, then a cadet),, who thoroughly disliked to ride, oblecting strenuously to the horse brought for his use. The horse, he irgued, was too heavily built and much too large for a man of his size. Whistler, with much vehemence, lrged the man next to him to "swap." The man with whom he wished to exsh «inge horses was of muscular build, and of a "pretty generous size," and bis horse was a light-weight animal, which seemed to Whistler to make it x most fitting exchange.

Both born in Renn-es, we were educated at the same college, and, although in later years our ways lay in •different directions^ our friendship never changed. Armand was the son of a retired •stock-broker, and had inherited about one hundred thousand dollars from his mother, who died a year after he was born. He had a cousin, Marceline, whom he loved; and on the day he came of age he informed his father and me that he intended to marry her. I Shall never forget that date, because 1t was the only time he and I quarreled. His father, I knew, was strongly opposed to marriages between members of the same family. When he remonstrated with Armand, and the latter appealed to me, I sided with the father, and, after a stormy scene, Induced my friend to give up his idea. Marceline was not the wife for the good-natured Armand, and I was glad when that danger was past. Two years later he married a lady he had met at Royat. and bought a pretty villa near Ville d'Avray, where I sometimes paid them a visit on a Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, this union did not turn out well. Madame P was rather bigoted, and, being of a highly nervous temperament, her husband's boisterousness and his loud laughter seemed to upset her. These two had no thoughts in common, and after a while my visits to Ville d'Avray stopped altogether. As to Marceline, she had married a Cavalry captain, who soon afterward was killed by a fall from his horse, leaving her a limited income and a house at Versailles. From Ville d'Avray to Versailles is but a twenty-minutes' drive, and I knew that Armand, since the captain's death, spent much of his time with Marceline. When I reached Pousset's and saw Armand I looked at Ifim in surprise. ^Hollow-cheeked, pale, with sunken, lack-luster eyes, I hardly recognised my poor friend. He rose when he saw me, walked with me bo the door, and, hailing a cab, told the man to drive to Voisin's. "Is it a dinner-partyrvI asked. "No," he said. It was the tot word be had spoken. At VoishTs he led the way to a private room on the first floor. I saw he had ordered tbe dinner and that the ;menu had been compiled with his usual skill. "I wanted to be alone with yon." be •aid, "and here we can talk undisturbed." I was hungry and quite prepared to do honor to Voisin's cuisine, but heifcre I had swallowed my first spoonful of soup, I noticed that the waiter bad placed before Armand a boiled egg and a glass of milk. "Are you going to make your dinner «ffthatr "Yes" he replied with a painful '•mile, "but don't trouble about me. <We will talk when you have finished/* Tho fish was served, and the man mas about to leave the room when 1 'called him back. » ^hat will do,* I ordered: "you need jnet bring the remainder ot the din* I Then, turning to . Armand, I exi claimed: * "And now, for heaven** sake, <speak!" He walked up to me slowly, placed Vboth hands on my shoulders, and In in strained,voice asked: "Did yet* see Vaillant before be was tied to execution?" : "Idld. Why?" "Because you will then have beheld 'two condemned men in one day—Vaililant this morning, me to-night!" "Armand," I cried, "are you mad?" "No, I am not mad. I am—" I saw he was, nearly fainting, and 'tied mm to the sofa, "I feel better, old chap," be said after a while, "and, now, I have to impart to you a fearful secret, which tbe chief of the detective police must Ignore. It is not from him, but from tbe faithful friend, and from the lelever detective, that I claim assist- {Copyright by J. B. Lippincott Co.) ance. Goron, I am being slowly poisoned." I was speechless with amazement. He continued: "I want you to find out the culprit, and I know you will. But you will give me your word of honor that no harm shall befall the murderer." "My dear Armand—" I began. "Wait till I have finished—until I have told you the names of two persons, one of whom is poisoning me. Yes, there are ouly two." He gave a sob, and, after an uncanny silence, suddenly screamed put: "Goron, either my wife, or Marceline, my cousin, is the murderess! You may well shudder. And n'ow you will understand why the chief of p o j i c e m a y njot know of the affair, and why neither of the.-e women may be harmed, They are sacred to me. For one bears my name; and the other, the other— I have loved all my lire!" I battled long; but as my friend's life was at stnke, 1 reluctantly yielded, and promised to help solve the mystery without injuring the wo?r.cn. "Thank you," he whispered, "I shall now die happy." "Xo," I interrupted him, "yon will not die.' Heaven knows what is lurking behind ail this, and what startling discovery I may make. Rut you will have to place ymirse-f unreservedly in my hands, and obey my instructions without questioning my motives." "I will." "Then tell me more about your suspicions." "You call them 'suspicionsV Look here, Goron, two. months ago I was a strong man. And now! About six weeks ago, any health suddenly began to fail. I experienced burning pains in the digestive organs, and a disagreeable taste in my mouth after meals. I consulted my medical man, who told me it was a form "of indigestion, and prescribed a treatment which I followed. But my condition grew slowly worse, and for the last fortnight I have been sustaining myself on three -eggs a day and a little milk. "I consulted Dr. L and Professor G , renowned specialists. They took a big fee, and informed me that my medical man's diagnosis was right. Until that moment the idea of poisoning had never entered my mind until by a singular coincidence, I happened to read the report of a poisoning case in Milan, where a man had been systematically administering arsenic to his victims. I was struck by the similarity of the symptoms described with what I myself experienced, except that one of the victims had da,rk spots on his body. "Goron, the next night when I undressed 1 discovered dark spots on my thighs! It flashed upon me that I, too, was being poisoned, and, under an assumed name, I went to the Hotel Dieu hospital, where I told the consulting physician that I feared I had inadvertently swallowed a dose of arsenic. He did not seem to believe my story, but as I accused no one, he made the necessary examination, and after a few days informed me that I had really taken poison, and prescribed the proper remedy." "And then?" I asked. "And then—I knew that only Jeanne or Marceline could have been guilty of this horrible crime. Jeanne and I. as you know, are not happy; and I am oaly too glad to spend a few hours with Marceline. Sometimes I lunch with her, at others I invite myself to dinner—she is always glad to see me. And, during the last week, I have taken all my meals at home or at my cousin's." "And these pains, and the nasty taste, did you notice them after you lunched or dined at your house, or at Madeline's?" "I knew you would ask me that. And it is there that the mystery comes in, for those very same symptoms show themselves when I return from my cousin's and when t stay at home." "So that you are inclined to suspect the two women V "I don't know. It ts too terrible." "Is Jeanne on good terms with Mar* celine?** v "No." "Does your wife expect you back tonight?" "Yes." "Then send her a telegram that you are detained In town. Tonight you stay with me, and tomorrow f wilt take you somewhere where you will be safe. But I have a few more queer tidns to ask. What do your wife and Marceline say about your altered appearance?" "They seem very concerned about me, and are anxious to do all they can." "Frankly—whom,do you suspect?" "Sometimes I think it Is Marceline: sometimes I think it is my wife. It is horrible." "Yes, it is horrible. Has there ever been any real trouble between you and eitber ot them?" "Never." "Is your life insured?* "Yes," *In anyone's naraef* "Yes, In Marceline'*." He colored slightly, and tnen said: "You see, old chap, Marceline Is not rich, and, strictly between ourselves, she is a bit of a gambler. She bets on horses, and, occasionally, dabbles in stocks. She has already cost me a rather big amount So, one day, I insured my life for thirty thousand dollars in her name, in case anything happened to me." I could not help starting slightly. "When waa that?" "About a yea£;j$o>" "Have you told Marceline of this?" "Yes." "Aud your wife?" "She knows I insured my life, but believes it was done in her name." It was nearly eleven o'clock. I took Armand home with me, and the next morning conducted him to a sanatorium, near Chinon, where t had taken a little villa for my family, telling the director of the establishment that my friend was suffering from nervous prostration, and wanted absolute rest. I then sent him a valet— one of my own men—who every morning had to fetch him a bottle of fresh milk. I also gave him instructions respecting the bread, and even the eggs, for Armand's frugal meal, which had to be- boiled in my Mend's sittingroom. Having taken these precautions, I made Armand write to his wife ana to Marceline that by his doctor's orders ho was taking a rest-cure. I began by making a s-earching investigation, which brought to li^ht such a startling fact that I went down to my friend, whom I found in bed, but looking' less deject ?d. The burning pains were lets intense and 'he dark spo:s were s'.ov, "It ja impossible? What proofs have-r" ; "One moment. What was the last amount you gave Marceline, and on what date?" "Four hundred dollars on the 19th of last month. But why do you ask?" "Because the day following, Gaston, who, three days before, borrowed a dollar from Hippolyte, the waiter in the Cafe de France, paid four hundred dollars to the Vicomte. de S •, to whom he had lOBt that amount in tbe gambling-club in the Rue Taitbout, of which he is one of the chief ornaments. I have a little list in my pocket of the sums this amiable youth lost and spent during the last six months. And you will find the total agree with what you gave Marceline and what she took out of her own pocket. Marceline herself is heavily in debt and owes money to her tradespeople. It is not she who gambles, but he; and you have been supplying him with the necessary funds." Armand looked at me in speechless astonishment. "Good heavens!" he exploded, "I will at once—" "Yon will do nothing at all," I said, "until I give you permission. Leave the matter to me. Have you heard at all from your wife or Marceline?" "Yes. Jeanne telegraphed yesterday that she is ill, but expects to be amV to come and see me here in a couple of days. And half an hour before you came 1 received this note t'rem Yi arceline: "Yes," m relied, *betteems'really ill." "This milk,",! said, "looks delicious. We do not get It like that in Paris. Try it." And I poured her out a glass. But she shook her head. "No, I tfo not care for it. I never take milk." She remained pensive, with her chin on her hand; suddenly she said: "M. Goron, I have to ask you a great favor. * Can I have a few minutes' private conversation with you any time next week?" "With great pleasure," I replied. This interview, to which I attached much importance, never came off. On my return to town I immediately Bent the flask I had brought with me from Chinon to the Municipal Laboratory to have the contents analyzed, and early the next morning received a short report stating that the milk did not contain the slightest trace of arsenic. I had just finished reading it when Armand was announced. He seemed greatly agitated. "You here?" I called out. "Why did you leave Chinon without my permission?" "I came up by the early train," he retorted, "to show you this. It came last night after you had left." And he threw me a crumpled piece of paper. It was a shockingly written, badly spelled, letter addressed to Monsieur Armand V : c:rappoar- <) ft, » 1 ' , lij'.A. rmend," i :;aid, ;i'C toi: .rn'-ii uri .-l .-"u- . u-r<r- k.l: "T rnu rrh'd y< y< i: rW 1 f.

Vor a minute I had the idea that possibly both women might be implicated la the crime; but. In the absence of direct proof, I abandoned this hypothesis, especially as I have it on the highest medical authority that the effects of systematic arsenical poisoning do not show themselves till several hours later* And since every day you dined and lunched either at home or at Madeline's, we cannot draw any Inference as to where the poison was administered. "And now," T continued, "let us talk of Marceline. Did you know that her brother Gaston—the young scamp- Is tack in Paris?" "Yel I did." "Have you ever met him?" "A few months ago I saw him at his sister's, and the next morning he borrowed one hundred dollars from roe. {Since that day I have never come across him." ' A "And his sisterr w "She has nothing more to do with Wm." •' "Are yon certain of that?" "Quite certain." "Then let me tell yon that not only her own money but the sums you give her go Into that fellow's pocket"' My friend looked at me expectantly. "What must I do?" he asked. "My dear Armand," I said, "I know you are anxious to go to the heart of this terrible business, and so am I. Go to Marceline to-morrow. About one o'clock I shall come to the hotel to see you; as I am supposed to have misled you when I called here. Remember that you have not «een me, nor heard from me, for a long time. Marceline, of course, will ask me to. luncheon. You will have your milk and eggs, which you must not touch. But, two or three minutes after we are at table, when you see me tw<r« my moustache, rise, and tell your cousin you feel faint and want to He down. Have you understood?" "Yes, quite." The next day w"ien T called at the Boule d'Or, Marceline Insisted on my staying, and she herself placed a Jug of milk and two boiled eggs before Arr^and. I gave the agreed signal, whereupon Armand at once rose and a?ked permission to rest a little while. As I expected, Marceline conducted him to the adjoining bedroom, and the instant she had gone I poured some of the milk from the jug into a small flash I had brought with me. When Marceline returned she looked grave. "I did not know Armand was so ill," I remarked. "I was surprised to hear ^¾^¾¾¾ s9^^^ ^t^) ©^8¾¾¾^¾sj^5 3^¾¾¾ JQOle "What is a calamity?" I asked. "Why, this letter! Can't you see that the business has leaked out? Who can have sent this?1' "Armand, f v a fairly intelligent man, you are not sharp. This letter gives us the last link we wanted, and It comes at the right moment* Listen carefully, and I will show you which are the points on which this mystery turns. My su'pldons, I own, were at first directed against Marceline. Her love of money, and the knowledge that your death would bring her thirty thousand dollars, told against her. When, however, I h.-i-id of her brothor* s doings I changed my opinion. Women, my dear Armand, may be weak and foolish enough to impoverish themselves for their brothers, yet sisterly devotion will not lead them Into crime. A woman will commit a murder for motives of her own, and sometimes, though very rarely, she will risk her neck for the man she loves—for her brother, never. "This disposes of Marceline, And now It is your wife who stands before us as the accused person. Of her guilt I have little doubt, and that letter confirms what other suspicions 1 may have entertained. She penned that note herself, and her attempt to compromise Marceline tells its own tale. She wrote it with her left hand, and In the writing—otherwise excel* lently disguised—I detect her curious habit of puttinr the dots, not over Cher' i's, but above the letters that follow. This, no doubt, escaped you. There remains only the serious question of what led her to this." Armand was In deep thought, "What will you do with her?" he at last tsaid. "You have my word she shall not be touched. But I have a duty to perform, and will perform It By to-morrow night we shall be In possession of all the facts, and this u$ly nightmare will have come to an end. Please return at once to Chinon, and wait till you hear from me." My friend's villa in Ville d'Avray stood within its own grounds behind a cluster of trees that hid it from view. As Madame P—- had written to her husband that she was suffering from influenza, I went to the tobacconist's at the corner, and, having purchased a few cigars, inquired after Monsieur P 1 He, I was told, was In Paris: but madame had not gone with him. Had she been III? No, madame had been driving her ponies every day. Ho had just seen her enter the gates. I went straight to the house, and, a few minutes later, Madame P — - came to me in the library, "You here, M. Coron?" she exclaimed. "It is six months since we saw you. You are neglecting your friends." She was still the same thin, oldmaidish- looking little woman, with pale cheeks, pale hair, pale hands, and a curiously big voice, not in keeping with her email stature. ''Have you f-cen Armand?** she • ! asked. | "Yes. T knew he was better, and X cane hfyfy hoping to find him." "Xo. he }:-? still away. I could not £o to him because I have only just recovered from an attack of influenza. • Can I do anything for you?" "Yv»s. you can render me a. email, service. I want to send a .letter t.o» some on?, but not in my own writing. I want to f,ic,n it only. Will you allow me to dictate it to you?" "Certainly." She eat at her husband's desk, dipped her pen in the ink, and waited. "The woman you love," I began, "ia attempting—" Madame looked up, her lips parted, her whole face turned an ashy gray. "—is attempting your life. Be warned—" I could go no further. With fear expressed in every line of her face, she rushed at me, seized both my arms In a convulsive grasp* and, throwing herself on the sofa, her face buried in the cushions, broke Into peals of uncontrollable laughter. It was fearful. After a while she grew calmer. "Madame," I said, "will you—" At the sound of my voice she jumped up and stood in front of me. "No!" she screamed in a paroxysmi of excitement, "don't speak, don't utter a word. Only listen. Yes, yet* know I wrote that letter. You guessed the whole truth. I can read it la your face. You have come to avenge Armand. But you shall listen to me. You shall know what 1 suffered, and why I became a murderess. M. Goron, have you ever heard of a woman killing a man because she loved him? Don't look at me surprised. 1 am not mad. I am quite sane. Had 1 been bereft of reason I should have suffer* ed less. "T love Armand as no woman ever before loved a man. He Is kind, gen« erous, and I would give my life foi* him any hour of the day. I loved him from the moment I first saw him, and, when we married, I wanted him to know all he was to me. But a curBO seemed to rest on me. My stony feat tires and my harsh voice repelled him; and when I tried to tell him bow I worshipped him, and that I was pining for his affection, my tongue seemed paralyzed. Finally I gave up. And then I knew he was lost to,me; and 1 had to see him spend half hie days in the company of that flighty doll, his cousin. I resolved to kill myself, but I knew that he would marry that woman; and I swore that sooner than that he should die!" I longed to have this painful inter* view over, and said: "Madame, I have not come to arrest you, because Armand made me promise that if the crime should b» brought home to you, you should not be harmed, so far as the law Is concerned. Ip order to save my friend's life I am making the sacrifice of my duty; but I must Insist on your obey* ing my injunctions," She bowed her head, and it was decided that before the end of the week she should leave France. She at once* proposed to go to the cholera-stricken^ district in Tonquin, /Where she could be useful, and ! promised to see her safely on hoard the next outgoing steamer. She also signed a declaration to the effect that she waa leaving her husband and her home, which would enable Armand to obtain a divorce without any trouble. As I ros* to go, she stopped me. "Allow me to make a last request Don't tell Armand anything about my confession to you. He need not know* what i have suffered. Will yon promise it me?" •*I promise i t \ " "I thank you. dood-by, M. (jjoron; I shall not forget your aiudness." In less than a week she left for Tonquin, where she tolled night anoVd day in the hospital. She died eix a months after her arrival, from ovoitf exertion. Armand, I believe, married Majfe^ celine. I say "I believe." because lady wrote me an Indignant let wherein she said she would neve give my suspicions ether.

Setty Malroy and Carrington had Tidden Into Raleigh to take leave of tkelr friends. They had watched the Stage from sight, had answered the last majestic salute the judge had given them across the swaying top of tbe coach before tho first turn of the ttoad bid it from sight, and then they bad turned their horses' heads in the direction of Belle Plain. "Bruce, do you think Judge Price -m%U ever be able to accomplish ail he Hopes tof' Betty asked when they J^ad left tbe town behind.

"When you come back in three years, Bruce—" Carrington still regarded her ttxedly. There was a light In his black eyes that seemed to penetrate to tbe most secret recesses of ber heart and soul. "Three years, Betty?" be repeated again. Betty, ber eyes cast down, twisted ber rein nervously between ber slim, white fingers, but Carrington^ steady glance never left her sweet face, framed by its halo of bright hair. She stole another look at him from beneath her dark lashes. "Three years, Betty?" he prompted. "Bruce, don't stare at me that way, It makes me forget what I was going to say! When you come back—nezt year—" and then she lifted her eyes to his and he saw that they were full of sudden tears. "Bruce, don't go away—don't go away at alj—" Carrington slipped from the saddle and stood at her side. "Do you mean that, Betty?" he asked. He took her hands loosely in his and relentlessly considered her crimsoned face. "I reckon it will always be right hard to refuse you anything— here is one settler the Purchase will never get!" and he laughed softly. "It was the Purchase—you were going there!" she cried. "No, I wasn't Betty; that notion died its natural death long ago. When we are sure you will be safe at Belle Plain with just the Cavendishes, 1 am going into Raleigh to wait as best I can until spring." He spoke so gravely that she asked In quick alarm. "And then, Bruce—what?" "And then— Oh, Betty, I'm starving—" All in a moment be lifted her slender figure in his arms, gathering* ber close to him. "And then, this— and this—and this, sweetheart—and more—and—oh, Betty! Betty!" ^CrJAPTER XXXV. The End and the Bec^nning. When Murrell was brought to trial his lawyers were able to produce a host of witnesses whose sworn testlits stock and slaves was offered tor sale, he, as the principal creditor, was able to buy it in. One of his first acts after taking possession of the property was to have Mahaffy reinterred in the grove of oaks below bis bedroom windows, and he marked the spot with a great square of granite. The judge, visibly shaken by his emotions, saw the massive boulder go into place. "Harsh and rugged like the nature of htm who lies beneath it—but enduring, too, as he was," he murmured. He turned to Yancy and Hannibal, and added: "You will lay me beside him when I die." Then when the bitter struggle came and he was wrenched and tortured by longings, his strength was in remembering his promise to the dead man, and it was his custom to go out under the oaks and pace to and fro beside Mahaffy's grave until he had gained the mastery of himself. Only Yancy and Hannibal knew how fierce the conflict was he waged, yet in the end he won that best earned of all victories, the victory over himself. "My salvation has been a costly thing; it was bought with the blood of my friend," he told Yancy. It was Hannibal's privilege to give Cavendish out of the vast Quintard tract such a farm as the earl had never dreamed of owning even in his most fervid moments of imagining; and he abandoned ail idea of going to England to claim his title. At the judge's suggestion he named the place Earl's Court. He and Polly were entirely satisfied with their surroundings, and never ceased to congratulate themselves that they had left Lincoln county. They felt that their friends, the Carringtons at Belle Plain, though untitled people, were still of an equal rank with themselves; while as for the judge, they doubted if royalty Itself laid It any over him. Mr. Yancy accepted his changed fortunes with philosophic composure. Technically he filled the position of overseer at The Oaks, but the judge's activity was so great that this position was largely a sinecure. The most arduous work he performed was spending his wages. Certain trifling peculiarities survived with the judge even after he had entered what be had once been "OH, Betty! Betty!4 'Id V-V,K«vr;{;,;'!^,Vt\ v/,-. ...v. mony showed that so simple a thing as perjury had no terrors tor them,1 We fight tor liberty was waged in and out of court wKh incredible bitterness, and, as judge and jury were only human, tbe outlaw escaped with the relatively light sentence of twelve years' imprisonment; he died, bowe m , before the expiration of his term. The judge, when be returned to Raleigh, resumed his own name of TurbervlUe, and he allowed it to be known that he would not be offended by the prefix of General. During his absence he had accumulated a wealth of evidence of undoubted authenticity, with the result that his claim against the Fentress estate was sustained by courts, and when The Oaks with prone to call the Portal of Hope; tor while his charity was very great and he lived with the splendid air of plenty that belonged to an older order, it required tact, patience and per* sistenoe to transact business with him; and his creditors, 6f whom there were always a respectable number, discovered that he esteemed them as they were aggressive and determined. He explained to Yancy that tto great certainty detracted from the charm of living, for, after all, life was a game—* a gamble—he desired to be reminded of this. Yet he was held in great respect for bis wisdom and learning, which was no more questioned than hlS| courage^ Thus surrounded by his friends, who were devoted to him, he began Hannibal's education and the preparation of his memoirs, Intended primarily for the instruction of bis grandson, .and which he modestly decided to call "The History of My Own Times," which clearly showed the magnificence of his mind and its out" look. THE END. SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY Childish »Mind, Groping in Darknea*, Is Craving for Information That is Denied it. The Elgin* board of trade, popularly known as the "Butter Trust," and the American Association of* Creamery gutter Manufacturers was attacked by the federal government in a civil anti-trust suit filed in Chicago, for the dissolution of both concerns. Sweeping charges of a conspiracy to fix arbitrarily the price of butter in the interest of big manufacturers and cold storage concerns and to the detriment of the farmer,* other small producers and the consuming public, are made by Attorney General Wickersham. Butter-making has drifted to the large manufacturers, the natural increase in volume of business has been curtailed and prices to the people have been enhanced, especially during'the winter season, by the operations of the "conspirators," according to the government's petition in equity. Every trace of useful information is carefully concealed from the very young child. A rattle,*or at most a rubber doll, is its only plaything. As it grows older it is very slowly and gradually introduced to the various forms of the animal kingdom. Of the mysteries of numbers aad of languages it has as yet no conception. Its constant questions are for the most part answered "humorously" and hence incorrectly, or they are not answered at all. This eternal "humor" is most galling of all Why should a human Infant be such an irresistible joke? The lower animals take their young seriously and train them from the start with a very definite purpose in view. Yet their possibilities are infinitesimal as compared with those of the average baby. And we sit calmly by and enjoy the "humor" of childhood and insist that the child is enjoying Itself also, even* though Its little soul may be thirsting for information which 4s laughingly denied it And we continue to put off the inevitable day when tbe child will have to take life seriously and hence, according to our tradition, sadly. One important point which is quite overlooked by the upholders of the brainless child is the fact that nonsense and silliness are just as taxing to the infant mind as useful Information would be. It requires no more mental effort to realize that A is A than to grasp the extraordinary fact that a mass of brownish softness Is a "fuzzy ittle Teddy bear, yes it fe^ In fact, the letter A has a distinct advantage. And at a more advanced age It is certainly less puzzling to be told that five and five make tea than to have one's own respectable pink toes described as a series of pigs going to market or entering nto tbe various other activities oi life.—Sigmund Spaeth in Harper's Weekly. 1 Commercial Workers Organized.

Bfc "stt once gave the alarm, and prer vented what might have been a serious acicdent. The circumstance was reported to the head of the firm, before whom the lad was summoned. "You have done me a great service, my lad," said t^ie genial chief, "and in future your wages will-be increased by two shillings weekly." "Thank you, sir," said the bright little fellow. "I will do "my best to be j a good servant to you." • "That's the right spirit, my lad/' be remarked, encouragingly. "In all the years that I have been in business no one has ever thanked me in that way. I will make the increase three shillings.

It is the beauty of natural and untrammeled motion, and says much in favor of the aboil* tion of the corset, for the Indian women retain their uprightness and suppleness of figure till bowed with age, "The commonest type is' the coolie woman, who undertakes all sorts of rough work, carrying heavy burdens on her head, and she is, perhaps, the least attractive, for her workaday garments are usually faded and dirty; yet, even among this poor class of burden bearers, we see many with handsome straight features and supple well proportioned figures. "No matter how poor their garments, jewelry of some sort is worn; necklaces of gold or beads, colored glass or silver bangles and heavy silver anklets." buDllsE TstRroOnIgT,— otChaetrtl eg—raMdeasrk 1e0t,@, 2c0ocw sh-i gahnedr , derrsy,- fe1d,0 00s teteor s,1 ,2$090@, 1$27;.5 0s<tge>e8r;s staenedrs haenifd- ahnedif ehrs e.l f e8r0a0 t htoat a1r,0e0 0fa, t,$ 65.0500@ to7 .2750;0 , st$e4Ue5ras@ c5o; wcsh,o i$c4e.& f0a@t 5c; owcosm, m$5o.5n0 @co6w.2s5>; g$o3o.7d5. ®fa 4t; c$a5n.5n0e; rfsa,i r $t3o® g3o.6o0d; boclhooginceas , hbeualvlsy, $b4u.5l0ls@, s5t;e estrosc. k3O b0u tlols ,1 ,$030.07,5 ($^54.".2505©; 6c.2h5o;i cfea ifre'efediendg-? sintogc ksoterse,r s5,9 080 t0o t7o0 01, ,0$050@, 5$.G5©0;- 5f.a50ir; cahtoocicke- e$r3s..7 55^040; •t om i7lk0e0,r s,$ 4l@ar4g.7e5, ; ysotoucnkg mheeidfeiurms. , age, $I5@75; common milkers. $3O<$40. ersV. eaHl 5CGa#-L$v.5e0s—; mStriolcnhg ; cboewet*, a$nl>d@ ' lsi;p roitnhg-- ersS,h esetrpo nagrr.d iambs—Sheep steady; best l¢a1m/7.b50s,: $l8i<g$h&t .25to; facior mtom ogno odla mlabm»b, s$,5 "$@C5>80;- y$3e(oa>rl3i.n75g;s ,c uL¢4ls© a5n.5d0 ; cofmairm otno, $g2o<oad3. sheep; staHgosg, s1—-3'P oafcfk. ers bidding §7..J'0@7.15;.

Lecturing in London on an out-ofthe- way tour in Central Italy, Alexander Keighley said he learned on good authority that a fine medieval castle in good preservation in one of these Italian hill towns had been sold to an Englishman for $195. The poverty of the nobles In Italy was sometimes pitiful. He found one majestic pile inhabited by an old woman of aristocratic family but miserably poor. Showing outwardly as much as possible, of its ancient state, the only furniture within it was a deal table, a chair and a battered candlesuck.

For wo have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." The news that a true "king of the Jews/' a possible rival, was born, and that his birth had been heralded by celestial phenomena, caused Herod much concern. He summoned to him the scribes and learned men. \Vhen they were'questioned where the king was to be born they answered: "In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet. And thou, Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda; for out of thee shall come a governor, that shall rule my people Israel." According to the authorized version it is then stated in the New Testament that "Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the youngj child; and when we have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they dec parted; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with ^x-ceeding great joy." That is the whole story'of the Star of Bethlehem as it is simply and directly told in the second chapter of the gospel according to St. Matthew. It was a cloister fancy of the dark ages, handed down through centuries, that led the Christion world to regard the Star of the East as a miraculous luminary, akin to the pillar of fire, that guided the children of Israel in the wilderness— a luminary especially created for the sole purpose of leading the Magi to the birthplace of Christ. The modern Christian is more apt to regard the star as a. natural phenomenon and mm mm V.'V.W.'.W. Vi«v\vv.»Sv»tfy!tlw*i%i * £^jV.'i ,.

Who were these wjse men, these Magi, of who^m St. Matthew speaks? They came from the east, they said, and the east, according to the geographical knowledge of Matthew's day, was Chaldea, Persia, and that Arabian desert where the sons of Ishmael roamed. In that east of which they spoke, star-gazing was -to. some nations a religious observation, to others a mystical traditional rite. The pseudo-science of astrology out of which our modern science of astronomy was slowly evolved'was thus engendered. Exegetes of the New Testament narrative hold these Magi to have been astrologers, members of that strange, non-national, privileged priesthood whose office It was to watch the sky each day and each night, to note the position and apparent motion of the sun from dawn to dark, and to predict those changes In planetary positions which, in that day of astrological superstition, were supposed to shape and reveal the destinies of kings and nations. In them sciepce came an early worshipper at the feet of Christ. To ancient as well as mediaeval astrologers, certain groupings of the stars and planets had a Qxed prophetic significance., The planets were named in accordance with their supposed influence.' Mercury, always lurking near the sun, furtively gleaming in the morning or evening, was the patron of tricksters, knaves, and thieves'.1* Mars, flaming in red, was the symbol of war; the guardian of heroes and warriors. If tho Magi were astrologers who believed in steiiat influences, the apparition of the Star of Bethlehem must have been an astronomical phenomenon. But no ordinary astronomical phenomenon could have enticed these practiced star-gazers from their temples. We must, therefore, find some celestial event sufficiently extraordinary to warrant a Journey trotn Chaldea or Persia to Bethlehem. } 1 When the Magi arrived in Jerusalem, Herod was within a few'weeks of his death.' The massacre of the babes of Bethlehem was one of his last jc®iej4^eeda ™ When,, he* inquired diligently what time tha star appeared, the reply was evidently^ ch that he felt ttr necessary to kill all male Inwttts* 'from two years old and under," It is probable, therefore, that the Magi first saw the>etar two years < before their • arrival |n Jeru>; ealem. Herod died in B, C. 4. JFJefcee the Star of Bethlehem must have appeared about two years before that date. Wo must discover, if we can, an exceptional stellar event near B. C. 6 with which it may be identified. Johann Kepler, in his peculiar genius (for he showed that the births of Enoch, Moses, Cyrus, Caesar, Charlemagne, and Luther were preceded by important astrological events), led the way in calling .attention to the astronomical phenomena that preceded the birth of Christ. He pointed out that there must have been a conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn at, about the time of Christ's birth, and even made a few preliminary calculations to prove his case. The conjunction occurred In the sign Pisces, from time Immemorial Identified with the destinies of Israel. A conjunction in thaJk sign always signified the rising of some mighty master of the Jewish race. Such a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn occurs once In about 800 years. It was. therefore, sufficiently extraordinary in Kepler's eyes to herald the birth of a Messiah. Not until 1826 was Kepler's suggestion seriously considered by astronomers. In that year Professor Ideler, of Berlin, computed the positions of Jupiter and Saturn and proved that they were actually in conjunction in 7 B. C. His calculations showed that they at no time overlapped to form a single star, but that they were separated by a distance equal to the apparent diameter of the moon. Accordingly, Ideler had the temerity to suppose that the wise men saw the two planets as one star, because they were miraculously near-sighted, fn justice to Ideler, it must be stated that he abandoned his theory when Encke, in 1831, repeated the calculations and found that the actual distance between Jupiter and Saturn, when.nearest each other in B. C. 7, was more than the apparent diameter of the moon. ' Apart from the facfc that Jupiter and Saturn were never sufficiently near each other to be seen as one body, two planets,in conjunction can hardly be called a star. Nor is it likely that experienced Chaldean astrologers would so regard it. Moreover, there were other planetary conjunctions at about the same time. Professor Stockwell has demonstrated that a conjunction of Venus and Mars occurred on May 8th, B, C. 6, about fifty days less than two years before Herod's death. Because the mandate for the slaughter of the infants was issued some time before Herod's death, Professor Stockwell advances the supposition that this conjunction was tho Star of Bethlehem. Since conjunctions occurred so frequently, it is ^difficult to understand why more of them did not call forth Chaldean or Persian deputations. Because of these fatal objections to any theory which regarded the Star of Bethlehem merely as a conjunction of two planets, the late t>ro£. It. A. Proctor cast about for other celestial phenomena and finally decided that the wise men might have been guided by a comet. There is much to be said in favor of the supposition. Comets are discovered nowadays at the rate of two or three a year. Not all of them are particularly brilliant; but it is not inconceivable that in Biblical times comets occasionally appeared that were brilliant enough to strike terror into superstitious hearts. Indeed, before Edmund Halley proved that the law of gravitation applied to the comet which bears his name and which has revisited the earth at intervals of seventy-one and one-half to seventy- nine years, comets were regarded as divine messengers, as omens of Rood or* evil, and particularly as harbingers of pestilence and war. To a poetic eastern people who revered the stars as symbols especially set in the heavens for the guidance of men, comets were undoubtedly awesome visitors. The Chaldeans, Persians and Jews were astronomically no more enlightened than the mediaeval Christians, and if at the fall of Constantinople in 1453 all Christendom was alarmed at the appearance of a comet (a comet which we now know to have been Halley's), it is highly probable (hat the Orient was no less impressed by these sudden visitations. Comprising, as it does, a nucleus, a "coma" or envelope surroun$ng the nucleus and measuring from twenty thousand to one million miles in diameter, and a long tail which streams behind the nucleus for sixty to a hundred million miles or more, a comet Is one of the most mysteriously beautiful celestial apparitions tha.t ever meets the eye. But whether or not the Star of Bethlehem really was such an apparitibn no one can affirm with certainty.' An astronomer can merely state that the idea is not untenable and that it is less objectionable than the conjunction hypothesis. Lastly, the theory has been proposed that the Star of Bethlehem was what is called a "new" star or "nova," a star which suddenly flares up in the heavens and fades away again to its former magnitude after the lapse of weeks or months. Such new stars are not altogether rare. Ten appeared between B. C. 134 and the end of the fifteenth century. Since the fifteenth century no less than sixteen have been recorded. In our dwn time they are discovered with fall frequency. Even ibefore the invention of the telescopd such new stars were studied by astronomers. Apart from the astronomical evidence in favor of the theory that the Star of Bethlehem was a nova, poetically, at least, it seems singularly fit ting that a matchless orKblazing forth In sudden magnificence should have marked not only the birth) of a Messiah whose destiny it was tc save mankind by bis own suffering and to make this a new world by purging it of evil, but also the birth of a new sun with embryonic planets wheeling about It in shining clouds ot gas &vf stellar dust HAD BEEN CHARGED. ^ F O L E Y ' S ^ H O N E Y — T A R X* C O M P O U N D * * V [Stops C o u g h s - C u r e s C o l d s ] Guest—Has this soda been charged?

The...unhapniegt.. mortals, are those who are always looking up the faults of others.1 This is explained by the fact that they are trampling all over the Golden Rule, which enjoins upon one "a frichdly interpretation of another's life. It very often happens that a man will shut his eyes to a score of virtues merely to see one fault, and when he does that, and hangs a cloud over the other's life, he does the same for his own. This is not speculation," it is experience. Just notice how good you feel when you see the good points of a man and not the bad ones. There is a bank of flowers. Enjoy it—behold its beauties and enjoy the fragrance; don't go nosing among the tangled weeds looking for a snake. There is an old adage: "Look on the bright side, and If there is no bright side, burnish up the dark side." As to the Golden Rule —we would hate for a person to go snooping around, looking up our faults; and so we will not do it for another. When a great fault protrudes, denounce it, but not the man, for he may have a dozen virtues that outweigh it ten to one. Besides, the fault may not be the man's; and further, we might all act the same under the same conditions and circumstances. As we are now in the annual season for colds, a word on the subject will be timely. A writer in the Physical Culture Magazine tells us there is much misconception regarding the origin of colds and that they are not caused by draughts, damp feet or exposure to the cold, but by an accumulation of waste materials in the system that, for some reason, have not been expelled in, the normal manner. Exposure, dampness and draughts, says the writer, occasion the cold, but the condition of the system is the real cause of the malady. If the system is in a healthful condition, almost any amount of exposure may be experienced, and no ill results will follow, but one is much more susceptible to colds when the~~tfb"Hbrmal condition prevails. This condition is caused by the failure of the scavengers of the human body to properly perform their functions. The body is then in a semipoi8oned state, and when in this state the cold is easily contracted. But it is not the exposure which is the cause of the cold. It is only the occasion— the last straw, and the real cause is to be found in the condition of. the system. We have been so often told that the whale fisheries are now extinct that we learn with surprise that 20,000 whales were, captured last year in the waters of South Georgia, South Shetland, South America and Africa, and that other fishing fields yielded substantial catches, says the San Francisco Argonaut. Who would have thought that there were so many whales? But we are assured that in a few years' time there will be no tfhales left, thanks to the use of the (Jeadly harpoon gun. The rorqual Shale was Bafe under the old system, e was too swift and too fierce to approach in boats, but he Is easily conquered by the harpoon fired out of a gun from the deck of a ship. The whale is not exactly a lovable animal, but it seems a pity that he should be exterminated, especially as we were under the impression that he was already exterminated. A had quarter of an hour is furnished the Germans by the report of one war correspondent that the swift and decisive victories of the Bulgars over the Turks were due to the superiority of the Creusot French guns over the German Krupps used by the Turks. Of course the Krupp people will scientifically demonstrate the untruth of this- However the gun controversy may turn out^ we think the chief factor of Bulgarian success lay in their adoption of old Gen. U. B. Forrest's statement that the art of war consists of "gittin* thar first with the most men. y'''' 'The slaughter of the innocents" as applied to the killing of children in the streets of New York is sometimes criticized as a sensational phrase, says the New York World. By what other term can the killing of 178 children by vehicles in the city during the teethe* months be designated?

THE SPEAKERSHIP, A PLACE OF GREAT POWER, WILL BE THE BIG HOUSE PLUM. The Matters of Legislation That Are nf Special Interest to the Taxpayers Briefly Referred To. [By Gurd M. Hayes.] If the wishes of Governor-elect Ferris are respected, and there is every reason to believe that they will be, the inauguration of the first democratic governor elected in Michigan in more than two decades will be entirely devoid of ostentation or unnecessary display. In keeping with the quiet, dignified personality of the man who is to preside over the destinies of the Wolverine state for the next two years, Woodbridge N. Ferris will be ushered into the executive chair * without the blare of trumpets or the flashing of gold lace. Plans for the inauguration have been perpared by Edmund H.„ Shields, chairman of the democratic state central committee, at the request of the governor-elect. Major Roy C. Vandercock, commander of the first battalion of field artillery, and adjutant general of the Michigan National Guard, has been commissioned to extend an invitation to the state officials and justices of the supreme court to participate in he evens of he day. As the clock tolls the hou rof twelve at noon on the first day of January Governor-elect Ferris and the other state officials will stand on the front porch of the capitol building and receive the oath of office which will be administered by Chief Justice Joseph B. Moore of the supreme court. As Boon as the gray-haired jurist pronounces the words that will bind Woodbridge N. Ferris to the people of Michigan, the governor's Balute of 17 guns will be fired by the artillery. If weather conditions prevent the holding of this ceremony on the capitol steps, the officers will receive the oath of office in the senate chamber. In view of the fact that this is the first time in more than twenty years that a democratic governor is to be inducted into office democrats from far and wide in the state are planning to come here for the inauguration and special attention is to be paid to these visitors. Patriot democrats have announced that they are coming out in two special trains. After he has received the oath of office Gov. Ferris will hold a reception for half an hour to state officers and members of the legislature, and he has extended an invitation to Gov. Osborn to assist him. After the legislators and state officials have'passed through the receiving line the excutive parlors will be thrown open to the general public, this reception being particularly for the out of town people who will not remain over night. In this feature an entirely new custom is established, previous governors not having invited their predecessors of a different political party to share with them in the events of the day. y In the evening from » o'clock Gov. and Mrs. Ferris, their son, Carlton and wife, their"' son, Phelps, the justices of the supreme court, the state officers and their wives, will hold a rc ception in the excutive parlor. At both receptions the First Battalion Field Artillery, in full dress uniform, will furnish the ushers and have control of the crowd, while the artillery battalion band wfll render a concert in the routunda oMhe capitol. The OH Inspector. Governor-elect Ferris is in favor of abolishing two jobs that Governor Osborn looked upon with disfavor when he came into office two years a g o - state oil inspector and state salt inspector. The legilature refused to heed the request of Osborn that these two departments be abolished, and it is extremely doubtful whether the next chief executive wil lbe able to accomplish much along this line. The democratic governor-elect says that his message will be brief and to the point. If this is true, it will be somewhat of an innovation, as it has required some governors in recent years nearly an hour to read their inaugural at the first joint session of the two houses. Governor Osborn, too, says that his last message to the Michigan legislature will be very short. The retiring chief executive claims that inasmuch as he will become a private citizen on Jan. 1, he does not believe that the solons and the people of the state will take as much interest in his remarks as in the message of the new governor. The Speakership. In all probability Rep. Gilbert Currie, of Midland, Will be the next speaker of the house. At the present time Currie has enough pledges from the republicans in the lower house to make him the choice of the caucas, and there is no reason to believq that he will not receive the required number of vptes when the roll is called. V ' . •" , ' At the close of the last regular session Hep. Currie, of Midland, and Rep. Charles Smith, o* Lapeer, were the only republicans who were avowed candidates for the speakership. It is claimed that Smith lost some strength because of his reactionary stand on several impotrant bills, while Currie took every precaution to fortify himself by supporting all the progressive measures. • ,• Wlien the special sessions were called the republican candidates for the speakership continued their campaign for pledges, but many of the members of the lower house who promised to vote for Smith were defeated in the election this fall, and a careful canvass discloses the fact that Currie will have at least 32 of the 52. republican votes at the caucas the night before the contest is officially decided. The progressives wil lhave a candidate for the speakership in Rep. Mc- Bride, of Burton, Shiawassee county, while Rep. Glassner, of Barry county, and Rep. Farmer, of Linvingston county will aspire to the nomination in the democratic caucas. There has been some talk to the effect that the democrats and progressives will align themselves with the disgruntled republicans in an effort to control the house and elect a speaker, but little credence is given to this in state political circles. Whoever the speaker of the next house may be, he will be able, if he sprinkles his committee appointments judiciously, to become a powerful factor in the politics of Michigan. Some of the most important propositions that have been considered in years will be up to the 1913 legislature, and as usual, the committees will be the big factors in determining the fate of some of yie proposed measures. Congressional Districts. Under the provisions of the new constitution adopted in 1908, it is required that the legislature of 1913 shall reapportion the congressional, senatorial and legislative distrncts of the state. Therefore, it is expected that there will be a general scramble among the mtmbers of the house to secure the appointment as chairman of the committee on apportionment. The present congressmen will naturally want the congressional districts arranged to their best advantage, while the members of the house who have ambitions to become state senators, will endeavor to have the senatorial districts blocked out to suit their convenience. When the last United tSates census was completed, it was found that Michigan's increased population entitled this state to one additional congressman. This condition was met by providing a congressman to be elected from the state at large and Patrick H. Kelley, former lieutenant governor, was chosen as the thirteenth congressman at the recent election. All indications point to some lively wire pulling and intricate maneuvering when the proposition of redisricting the state comes up for consideration at the next session. Because of its population the city of Detroit will ask that it be allotted two congressmen. At the present time Wayne county is split into three different congressional districts. It will be impossible to add to the number of state* senators or representatives as the constitution provides that there shall not be more than 32 senators or more than 100 representatives. No changes have been made in the congressional districts in more than twenty years and the attempt of the lawmakers to make a revision is sure to bring on one of the warmest battles of the session. Taxation of Mortgages. Members of the state grange, the farmers' clubs, and many legislators stand in favor of repealing the mortrap ; tax law passed at the last regular session' two years ago, as it is pointed out that the act has not fulfilled the expectations of those who framed it and that It is generally unsatisfactory. Use of Auto License Money. Another important proposition that the legislature will be asked to consider, will be a law authorizing the use of money reecived from the sale of automobile licenses, fo rthe construction of good roads. Secretary of State Frederick C. Martindale used this as one of the planks in his platform when he was a candidate for the republican nomination for governor, and he says that he will exert his Influence to have such a law passed next year. 1 ' Automobilists are enthusiastic over this proposition as they feel that'inasmuch as they are taxed for driving their motor cars over the public highways, that the money snould be used, in the construction of better roads, instead of turning the fees received from the sale of licenses, into the general fund of the state treasury. It is expected that there will be at least 50,000 licensed automobiles and motorcycles in Michigan next ^ear, and as each machine adds $3 to the revenue of the state, such a< change in the law would add more than $150,- 000 annually to the good roads fund. Under such a statute the rural districts would receive the benefit of betterd highways without an increase in taxes, as Secretary Martindale proposed to turn the money thus received pver to the state highway department. Circuit Judge Frank R Knappen has been asked to deliver an address on the congestion of courts and the remedy at the annual convention, of the State Judges* association at Lansing, Dec. 26-27. TAFT IS EXASPERATED IN EFFORTS TO TREAT REPUBLIC ON POLICY OF NON-INTERFERENCE. MADERO REFUSES TO CONSIDER CLAIMS OF UNITED SfAJES. Attempts at Friendly Adjustment of Outrages Against American Life and Property Have Failed. A protectorate over that portion of Mexico in- which American interests are located, it Is believed will be established within the next 30 days, unless President Madero accedes to the demands of President Taft's ultimatum sent him. It is admitted by the state department that attempts at friendly adjustment of the outrages against American life and property in Northern Mexico have failed, and the president's exasperation at" Mexico's insolent attitude culminated with that country's answerv on Dec. ±4 to his demand for redress, sent in September. In his reply Madero admitted his inability to cope with the situation, practicaly refused the consideration of indemnity for Americans whose property had been destroyed, and intimated that the Americans who have died there deserved their fate. The reprisals threatened ag&inst Mexico in Taft's ultimatum would permit revolutionists against Madero to use this country as the base of their operations, it was pointed out. It would inevitably mean the fall of the present Mexican government. However, officials figured out that in such a case the United States probably would be but little better so far as securing protection to American citizezns and their property in Mexico was concerned, than at present since the revolutionary movement in Mexico is more or less disorganiged and includes the very element against whose outrages the United States is complaining. The Mexican situation was rendered more acute by information to the state department that Americans in Cananea, Sonora, were in grave danger from 1,000 Mexican miners, employed in American mines, who have gone on strike. U. S. Enjoys Most of World's Trade. The United States did more business with the world, both in exports and imports, in the month of November than in any month previous in the history of this country's foreign commerce,' according to a statement by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. The value of goods imported last month was $153,134,995, and of exports, $277,898,681. This marked a great increase over the business done In November, 1911. Will Carleton, Poet, Is Dead. Will Carleton, the noted poet and journalist, who was born in Michigan and rose to fame there, died of pneumonia at his home in Brooklyn, at the age of 67. His illness was short. Born in Hudson, Mich., 1845, educated at Hillsdale college, Carleton broke into regular newspaper work in Chicago. He returned to Michigan in a few months and continued writing poems and giving lectures. For Non-Partisans Game Commission. A non-partisan game commission with sufficient funds to make it operative and preservation of the game of the state, was the principal recommendation offered at a meeting of the Southwestern Michigan Sportsmen's association in Kalamazoo. The recommendations were .drafted into resolutions, which will be presented to the state legislature at the next session in the hopes that some action will be taken. Osborn toTake Trip Over the World. For the first few months after he retires from the executive office, Jan. 1, Chase S., Osborn will travel through Europe. He has visited practically every' section of the globe, and the wanderlust has seized him again. He announces that he will enjoy a long vacation in foreign climates. Turks Slay Christians. According to a Port Said dispatch to Lloyds, in London, a wireless message from the Greek government vessel Macedona says that the Turks have massacred the Christians in Mitylene. Kalamazoo has extended an invitation to the Michigan Retail Lumber Dealers' association to meet in Kalamazoo in 1913.

Equal suffrage was defeated in Michigan by a majority of 760. That is the result of the canvass made by the state board of canvassers. The vote was 247,375 for and 248,135 against. The returns from Wayne county were received and show 34,930 for the amendment to 46,902 against. Just one month and 15 days elapsed after election before the final result was determined, approximately the same as published. K is thought that there will be no more efforts on the part of equal suffrage workers to make further attempts to change the result of the election and the question only remains as to when the question will again be submitted to the legislature. The recount returns from Wayne county were not taken into consideration, owing to the court's decision. Had they been, 1,240 would have been added against the amendment, making a total of 2,000. Arkansas Governor Frees 360- Feolns. Gov. George W. Donaghey yesterday pardoned 316 state and 44 county convicts and in a long statement said his action was taken as a protest against the system of leasing convicts in vogue in Arkansas. The governor scored magistrates for imposing long sentences for trivial offenses and told of what he termed disadvantages of the lease system. As a result of the pardons three state convict camps will be abolished but several camps where prisoners working on the roads are housed will be continued in operation. That every dealer in the state should be compelled to vote at general elections is the contention of Wm. It Burns, of Munising, repersentativeelect for the Schoolcraft district who will incorporate the idea in a bill. Mrs. Slsera Hale, matron of the Dorcas Home, Owosso, believes that local option in Shiawassee county is the cause of the large decrease in inmates at the institution. There are now 21 children at the home, the iv* erage number until,; this .year .being 35, • • • :l--x^-: The .fcats wer#4offed jto Canada during the two weeks of the Land Show and the week oiH&e Live Stock Show at Chicago. Willing to display its goods, anxious to let the people of the central-states know what could be produced on Canadian farm laqds, and the quality of the article, Hfeu. Dr. Roche, minister of the interior of Canada, directed that sufficient space be secured at the United States Land Show, recently held, to give some adequate idea of the field resources <of western Canada. Thoie in charge had splendid location, and installed one of the most attractive grain and grass exhibits ever seen anywhere. Thousands, anxious to get "back to the land," saw the exhibit, saw wheat that weighed 68 pounds to the measured bushel, oats that went 48 and barley that tipped the scales at 55 pounds. The clover, the alfalfa, the wild pea vine and vetch, the rye grass, the red-top and many other succulent and nutritious varieties of wild grasses demanded and deserved from their prominence and quality the attention they received. The grain in the straw, bright in color, and carrying heads that gave evidence of the truth of the statements of Mr. W. J. White of Ottawa, and his attendants, that the wheat would average 28 to 35 bushels and over per acre, the oats 55 to 105 bushels, the flax 12 to 28 bushels, were strongly in evidence, and arranged with artistic taste on the walls. The vegetable exhibit was a surprise to the visitors. Potatoes, turnips, cabbage^—in fact, all of it proved that.not only in grains was western Canada prominent, but in vegetables it could successfully compete with the world. One of the unique and successful features of the exhibit was the successful and systematic daily distribution of bread made from Canadian flour. It was a treat to those who got it. Canadian butter, Canadian cheese and Canadian honey helped to complete an exhibit that revealed in a splendid way the great resources of a country in which so many Americans have made their home. A feature \of the exhibit was the placards, announcing the several recent successes of Canadian farm produce and live stock in strong competition with exhibits from other countries. There was posted the Leager Wheeler championship prize for Marquis wheat grown at Rosthern in 1911, beating the world.. Then I. Holmes of Cardston entered the competitive field at Lethbridge Dry Farming Congress, and won the wheat championship of 1912, beating Mr. Wheeler with the same variety of wheat. Hill & Sons of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, in 1911, won the Colorado silver trophy for best oats grown, competed for in a big competition at Columbus, Ohio, in 1911. The produce of British Columbia at the New York Land Show in 1911 carried off the world's championship for potatoes, and incidentally won a $1,000 silver trophy, and then, but a few days ago, the same province carried off the world's prize for apples at the Horticultural Show in London, England. Hut that was not all. These Canadians, who hud the termerlty to state that flora wuh not the only feed for flnishlnK IU«h-«rade beef cattle, entered for tho fat steer championship at the Live Stock Show in Chicago a polled Angus—"Glencarnock Victor." Nearly 300 entries were in the field. "Glencarnock Victor" didn't know a kernel of corn from a Brazilian walnut. There were Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota. Wisconsin and their corn-fed article, determined to win, bound to beat this black animal from the north, and his "nothing but prairie grass, oats and barley feed," as his owner proudly stated, but they didn't. Canada and McGregor & Sons, with their "Glencarnock Victor," won, and today the swelldom of America is eating of his steaks and roasts —the champion steer of the world. But once more the herd of cattle that won the Sweepstakes at the same show was bred and owned by the owners of "Glencarnock Victor," fed only on prairie grass, oats and barley, near Brandos, Manitoba. The royal reception given to Mr. Mc- Gregor on his return to his home town was well deserved. Omission must not be made of the wonderful and beautiful display of apples made by British Columbia, occupying a full half section of' the great Land Show. This was in per* sonal charge of Mr. W. R Scott, deputy minister of agriculture for that province, who was not only a host to those who visited tbe exhibit, but was also an encyclopedia of information regarding the resources of that country. With 200,000 Americans going to western Canada this year, it ia pleasing to know that so many from this side of the line can participate' in the honors coming to that new country.-— Advertisement.

[ By EDWARD B. CLARK. With the coming of the New Year the United States government will enter into a new field of enterprise— the transmittal of merchandise by what is known as the parcel post. For years there has been a demand for such a system of inexpensive transmittal of packages. The camps of favor and disfavor of the parcel post scheme have been about equally divided. Finally at the last session, of congress a bill was passed which will put the plan into operation, but only it must be said in little more than an experimental way. It Is the intention of Uncle Sam to move rather slowly in the parcel post matter. He wants to find how popular it will be, how much it will cost the government, and whether there is to be a profit or loss at the end of each year. If it is found that the plan is successful from the point of view of the people, which means the government also, the parcel post will be extended until finally it reaches the proportions which its proponents say they believe it is destined to assume. Zone System Explained. It Is no exaggeration to say that thousands upon thousands of inquiries have been made of the postmaster general as to just what the parcel post will mean to the people. It was the law of congress establishing the system which made provision for* a division of the country into zones and into 35,000 units which are to be used as centers in describing the circles which mark the boundaries of the zones. There has been no clear understanding, apparently, of this zone system, but really it is a very simple matter. The accompanying map shows the country divided into zones from the unit in which Washington is situated, as the center. Accompanying the map is a table showing the rate of postage per pound for parcels from^ Washington to places within all the cones. $ - Each unit contains an area thirty miles square. Now each unit is a center from which the zones are drawn and so every unit in the country no matter where it is situated will have zones drawn from it just exactly as Washington has them drawn from it. For instance, take Keokuk, Ia., which ia in a unit in the fifth zone. From that will be drawn circles exactly as they are drawn from Washington and they will be numbered from Keoktfk as number one, just as they ane numbered from Washington as ijinnber one. Qf course, however, Zone Six win have a different geographical position as related to Keokuk than it has as related to Wash* in^ton, but as the radius of the circles drawn from Keokuk is the same length as the radius of the circles drawn from Washington/Keokuk's Zone Six will he just as far from its center as Washington's Zone Six is. , How Rates Are Fixed, ' It can he seen- from this readily enough that the postal rates from Washington to its particular zone will be the same as the postal rates from .-V Keokuk to its particular zones, Each / unit being about tlflrty miles square : wity.of course contain in most cases a number of postoffices, but each office < in the same unit it considered as be- % l$g the center of the circlet Iron which the zones are drawn. The rates of postage are fixed from the unit in which the sending postofflce is situated, but the price to every place in any zone is just the same. To illustrate, It will cost exactly the same amount to send a parcel from Washington to Erie, ^a., that it costs to send it to Atlanta, Ga., because Erie and Atlanta with reference to Washington are situated in the fourth zone. The rates therefore 1 are fixed from the unit in which the postofflce is located, but they are the same from that office to any point in any one zone. It will be seen by reference to the table of rates of postage that it will cost more per pound to send a package a long distance than it does to send it a short distance. The rate increases for a package weighing one pound at the rate of one cent for each zone. No package weighing more than 11 pounds can be sent under the new parcel post law. It should be said right here that on the long hauls the parcel post may not be able to compete with the express companies, but that on Bhorter hauls it can so compete. It was the expressed desire of the legislators and of the postofflce officials that the parcel post system should be made of er single package to be carried and should charge in proportion just what it does now for one package of 11 pounds weight. Every postmaster in the United States will have a parcel post map like the one which is here reproduced except that the zone lines will be shown with the unit of his postoffice as a center. All that a postmaster will have to do when a parcel is presented for transportation is to find out in what zone the destination of the package lies. His table will show him instantly the rate per pound from the unit in which his postofflce lies to the zone of the package's destinations, the price as has been explained before, to every postoffice in any one zone being the same. The parcel post will take nothing but fourth-class matter. Printed matter is still in the third-class designation. Therefore books cannot be sent by the parcel post system. This the postofflce authorities *seem to think is in a way unjust and may work a hardship. It may be that in the future the law will be changed so as to include all printed matter. It seems to be certain that an attempt will be made to bring about this change as speedily as possible. Must Bear Stamp. particular use to persons having farm Postmaster General Hitchcock has .and factory products to transmit to customers. It is probable that pro ducers must study the rates of post age and the convenience of transmittal and compare them with the cost and convenience under present methods before individually a man can determine whether he is to profit or not by the change. Then there is another thing to be considered and which only can be known definitely when fuller regulations have been made to specify exactly what kind of things can be sent by parcel post. It can be said in a general way that anything can be sent which is properly wrapped and which will not injure other mail matter with which it may come In contact. - Copy Foreign Countries. It is probable that the government will adopt a means of transportation for certain kinds of its merchandise much like those which have been adopted in parcel post countries abroad. What the English call hampers, basket-like arrangements, probably will be adopted, and as these can be kept separate from the ordinary mail matter it is believed that the regulations as finally adopted will allow the sending of eggs, butter, dress, ed poultry, live poultry,'honey, fruit, and other products of the country. - The 11-pound limit for a single package may work at first against any very extended use of the parcel post for some of the articles which have been named. Of course, more weight can be sent if it is sent in different parcels, but the cost in that case would be heavier because the increase per pound on a single package is' not great up to 11 pounds, and probably it would increase at no greater rate if the government were to raise the limit of weight which Is now fixed. To make it simpler, ft will cost more to send two packages of 11 pounds than i t would to send one package of %% pouiid* if the gove: ment eventual!* should allow ft heft' ordered that postmasters be advised that parcel post packages cannot bo accepted for mailing unless they bear a distinctive parcel post stamp and have attached to them the return card of the sender. A series of distinctive stamps is now in course of preparation for this class of mail as required by the law creating the parcel post system. Consignments of these stamps will be ready for shipment to all postoffices in ample time for the establishment of the new system on New Year's day. The postofflce department has given instruction to every postmaster in the country to enlighten hjs patrons as much as possible on the general subject of the parcel post and especially on the use of the special stamps and the necessary attachment of the return card. The law requires that all fourth-class matter mailed a tor Jan uary l f 1913, without parcel post j and ten-pound par>arrps of fruit. f now furnished withnacales of a limited capacity makes it necessary for the postmaster general to make this very large purchase of scales capable of taking care of the parcel post business. It is understood that this will be the largest single order ever placed for scales. Rate on Seeds Not Affected. It should be said that the act of congress which puts a parcel post plan into operation does not in any way affect the postage rate on seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants as fixed by section 482 of the postal laws and regulations. The classification of articles mailable as well as the weight limit, the rates of postage, zone or zone$ and other conditions of mailability under tbe act of congress, if tho postmaster general shall find on experience "that they or any of them are such as to prevent the shipment of articles desirable, or shall permanently render the cost of the service greater than the receipts of the revenue therefrom, he is hereby authorized, subject to the consent of the interstate commerce commission after investigation, to reform from time to time such classification, weight limit, rates, zone or zones or conditions, in order to promote the service to the public or to insure the receipt of revenue from such service adequate to pay the cost thereof." — Through many years different members of the house and senate have been interested in promoting parcel post legislation. Among the men most active in securing the legislation which soon is to go infco effect as law are Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon, Representatives David J. Lewis of Maryland and William Sulzer of New York, who has just been elected governor of that state. To ascertain conditions surrounding the establishment of the parcel post system in places differing widely in size, climate and industries, Postmaster dlneral Hitchcock recently summoned to Washington, to confer with the special parcel post committee, the postmasters of five typical offices. They are William H. Davis, Pittsburg, Pa.; Daniel T. Gerow, Jacksonville, Fla.; M. H. Joster, Wilmington, Del.; E., M. C. Quimby, Suffolk, Va., an*d Henry N. Bradley, Charlestown, W. Va. Confer With Postmasters. The postmasters of the five largest offices in tho country have already appeared before the committee, so Pittsburg was represented as being a large first class office, though smaller than any of tho greater five, and as being the center of a tremendous manufacturing area. The postmaster of PittBburg reported that the board of trade of that city has a special parcel post committee, working toward bringing the consumer and producer nearer to each other by the new system. He also said that many of the merchants are Planning to have their city deliveries made by parcel post. Wilmington, Del., represented a large farming and manufacturing district, with its mail connections close with Philadelphia, one of the largest offices. Jacksonville is the largest office in Florida, and the outlet for all the mail of the state. It is peculiar In having a special increase of force in winter, the tourist season, and the postmaster said tbpt it was expected that travelers would use the parcel post extensively in *»nding home five stamps attached shall be treated as "Held for postage" matter. Parcel post packages will be mailable only at postoffices, branch postoffices, lettered and local named stations, and such numbered stations as may be designated by the postmasters. Suffolk, Va., rr»d Charley town, W. Va., are both vrrv 'rnrll second class offices, one in the Mde-water district, with lar?,e truck in+nvsts; the other far intend in an orr-V-rd country, with diversified form products.

I saw the picture of one of the markedly successful ones in a recent Cleveland newspaper. There was an interview with her, too, which contained some hints worth passing on to ambitious women. The Cleveland woman has a specialty—building houses on vacant lots 'with money which she borrows for six per cent and selling the houses for la^iieat profit. Getting the right sort of a house on a lot at the right price is her problem. When she solves it successfully she makes money and she 'loses when she fails to solve it. '"Women," she said, "are better qualified than men to build houses. They are the ones who live most in them, and know what is needed. They iknow, from long experience, just where the closets and sinks ought to be, what arrangement of rooms will be most convenient and save steps, what «ort of wood is hard and what sort is easy to keep clean, and a lot of details which men builders either don't know about or willfully neglect. "I think the time will come when practically all homes will be built foj women." I do not know of a better investment for the modern architect-builder "than to add to his staff a woman of taste and experience as a home-maker, il do not know of a better way for the young woman to invest her talent than by getting into the business of designing houses for people to live in—really "live" in. It is an axiom of the investment business that money is saiiest which |ig put into the things in-every-day use by a large number of people. Cer* •tainly the investment in real home-making talent satisfies that requirement. A woman's bank account and her investments should be carried in her jfOWTi name, and not that of her husband. If she was Mary Collins before ^ehe was married, for business purposes she is now either Mary Collins tJones or Mary C. Jones. One of these signatures should be selected by iher, and when onoe chosen it should be used on all occasions. The above paragraph of advice contains the gist of the warnings and •counsel given to women by bankers. It indicates the primitive state* in which women still live so far as finance is concerned. A Chicago banker jtold about four checks which recently came to his bank in one day. One was signed "Mary C. Jones," another was signed "Mrs. Henry H . Jones," the third read " M . C. Jones," and the last was signed "Mrs. Mary Jones." ;As a matter of fact they were all signed by the same woman, whose signature card at the bank contained the name "Mary C. Jones." Of course only one of the four checks was paid until the woman was called in to amend the signatures. ***** Women have to be told that a check indorsedmerely with the writing of their name across the back can be cashed by anyone—that it amounts practically to putting that much currency in circulation. Women, however, are coming out of financial vassalage. O O D B Y E T * »^^^ 4% MmMmf • • ymr- B I L L Y A N D T H E T W I N S By J. M. CROWN.

EY I stood looking out of my study window one rainy day, and my attention was directed to the drops scattered over the pane. There was not enough energy in any one of the drops to make it move and there seemed no way to unite them. Then one drop that was a little larger than the others rolled down and joined one ju§t beneath it. This made a large drop and it began rolling down the pane, getting larger and gaining force as it went, until it swept everything before it. Here, thought T, is an example of what we may do by uniting and throwing our energy into one common cause. There may not be energy enough in a single one of us to accomplish anything, but, by quietly uniting our efforts, one at a time, we finally gain Buch a force and momentum that we carry everything before us. Since learning that lesson the old adage, "United we stand, divide/] we fall," has shaped itself in my mind to "Separated we stand, united we move." Analyze this reconstructed acjuge and we have, "Separated, we can do nothing; united, everything is possible of accomplishment." This is the great principle of co-operation and makes for the upbuilding of any community, public movement or work of any kind. NEW YORK. — In the following article Dr. Brady deals in his characteristic breezy way with the teeth, especially the wisdom teeth, expressing the opinion that only by exercising the teeth jb&n we avoid becoming, eventually a toothless race. There may be room for difference of opinion on some of the points Dr. Brady makes, and the World assumes no responsibility for any of tbem, printing them solely as the personal views of this brilliant writer. By DR. WILLIAM BRADY. Here in America evolution is hasty. And nature, always unwilling to hurry, retaliates upon our wisdom teeth. Actual records show that the third molars, or wisdom teeth, are missing from the jaws of 47 per cent, of adults, and even the lateral incisors are missing from six^per cent. The Jaw is steadily receding with the process of the suns, and it is not unlikely that the race will one day be toothless unless the Fletcheristicdoctrine saves the day. Comparison of tbe facial angle of various races of the present time and study of the skulls of aborigines shows conclusively that in the ascent from the savage, and from the higher apes, to the civilized races of man the jaw recedes as the brow or frontal eminence becomes more prominent. In other words, our masticatory power decreases in direct ratio to the increase of cerebral or brain capacity. But in America this evolution is going on too rapidly. Nature apparently doesn't mind a reasonable rate, but when it comes to high speed living she protests—and, believe me, nature is no slouch as a protestant! Take her wisdom tooth argument, her tonal! appeal; her appendix grumble and her gallstone growl, and you have a /of* through the root canal and so give the pus an exit. Or else he may lance the gumboil, if it points on the gum. and still give you a useful molar. But wheL the tooth is damaged beyond repair the safest, quickest and most grateful relief is to give it the yank-ee method and be done with it. One of the most diabolical treatments for an ulcerated tooth is foulticing the jaw—a mistage that has caused many a permanent scar In the cheek from perforation. Heat within the mouth, or, better, a hot footbath is logical and effective in relieving the pain if surgical treatment cannot be had. An active physic is always advisable. An ulcerated tooth is bad enough, but one patient had it complicated with facial neuralgia and a gathering in the ear. Oh, yea, he recovered, but we had to keep him in the padded A New York lawyer, finding his> expenses higher than his income, refusal to deny himself, but kept on living at the old rate until he was in debt to the l/iinit> and then calmly went through bankruptcy and wiped off \he slate. This solution of the problem is very dishonorable. A man who deliberately would do a thing of that kind is no better than a thief. In fact, he is less honorable than a thief, for the latter makes no pretense of being on the square, while the other man does when obtaining credit. He not only steals from the tradesmen, but from their customers as well, for the honest people who pay their bills are obliged to pay more to snake up the loss. * The loss caused by dishonest customers like this man is an important factor'in the cost of living. If all paid cash or paid their bills retailers could sell for less and make as much as now. a m o n e s t T o i l e r s M u s t M a k e U p L o s s e s This is the season of purple and goldpurple of aster and thistle and blazing star and the gold of golden rod and helianthus.

Some dentists are inclined lo be pessimistic about the wisdom teeth. They declare the pesky things won't last long anyhow, either individually or racially. That maiy well be, but certainly some wisdom teeth last longer than one could wish. One consolation about the eruption of the wisdom teeth is that they arrive at the very period of life when one4» vocabulary is richest in lurid Anglo-Saxon wherewithal to meet the situation. And if there's, anything that taxes one'* stock of adjectives more than a troublesome wisdom tooth, its an ulcer* ated toot)*. No dentist could be pessimistic about an ulcerated tooth. Timid tooth carpenters are sometimes altogether too optimistic—ttyey refuse to remove the splinter, from the festering jaw for fear Mrs. Grundy may be displeased.

About one in six persons has more or lens neuralgia in either of the three, tranches oj the facial nerve when cutting the wisdom teethi Some of the worst cases never cut the wisdom teeth at all, but have, all the trouble just the same. Often an inveterate facial neuralgia 1b shown to depend on an inverted, uninterrupted wisdom tooth buried in the jawbone. The X-ray discloses the offender and its removal by the dentist ends the trouble. When your face hurts be a sport, and remember you're evolnting Jfcst. By and by there'll be no teeth to trouble us. The flat brow and prominent Jaw of the Mongolian and negro race are as characteristic as the high brow and square jaw of the Caucasian race. The danger is that we ultra-civflized Americans, with our BUper-reflned mode of diet—our devitalized wheat flour, our predigested breakfast foods, our lost taste for raw vegetables—will suffer a further recesion of the jaw and with it general systematic degeneracy. The prevention is summed up in that new word of the English language— Fletchersm. All the toothbrushes and dentists in the world cannot prevent trouble with the wisdom teeth when there isn't room in the jaw for the eruption of the last mo-, lars. Fletchers teachings—thorough mastication, less food and more vegetables— seem to be the sum total of oral hygiene from the preventive point of view. Among the low type of negroes in .Mississippi the jaws protrude beyond the perpendicular face line in 97½ per cent. Among 10,000 persons examined ir« the streets of London only 4 per cent, were beyond the line. Among 1.000 more intelligent negroes exam Ultra-Civilixed Americana With a Su» per-Reflned Pitt. ined in Boston 45 per cent, had jaws of the negro type, 35 per cent, came on the line and 15 per cent, had receding jaws like genuine Bostonese highbrows. The jaws of the early races measured two and one-halt inches from the outer surfaces of the first molars while today they measure on the average a scant two inches. As your jaw protrudes beyond, or recedes behind the pei^endicular face line you are unclvUised or pverclvlli& ed. The correct profile is a perfect* ly square Jaw. Civilisation varies as the square of the Jaw—with a few old roots thrown in. It was Billy Peters who first said that the twin slaters were scrumptious. As Billy was a twiceaweek caller at the home of the Misses Ellen and Mary Roy, it is to be presumed that it meant something flattering. The twins looked alike and dressed alike aud sang alike and became sentimental each in the same way. Billy didn't know which one he wanted. Half the time he didn't know which was Ellen, and the rest of the time he didn't know which was Mary. Where he escorted one, he escorted the other. It was expensive. Billy began to run into debt. "This won't do," he decided. "Ill get a photograph of each. Then I'll go off by myself and decide which one gets the prize. The Misses Roy gave their photographs willingly. Billy took them home. He sat down with a lead pencil to mark them for identification. "This one is—H'm! Why didn't I let them autograph them? Which one Is this one? Blessed if I know. Well, we'll mark this No. 1 and this No. 2." Next day Billy started on his vacation. He went to a quiet farmhouse. The board waa cheap, and the quiet gave him plenty of time to decide his fate. He scanned the pictures in the woodland, in the meadow, in the fields, and in the orchard. Finally his troubled soul was stilled. No. l's Bmile was just a bit smilier than No. 2's. "That's the one HI marry" said Billy Peters. So he came home. He had decided that he'd forthwith propose to No. 1. Then his soul sickened. Which waa No. 1? However, Billy was equal to a little thing like that. He carried the photo of No. 1 with him to the Boy home. The twins entertained him in the parlor. Billy took the photo from his pocket. "Whose little face is this?" he asked. Mary Roy studied the likeness. "Why, that's Ellen." Ellen studied it. "It is not It's you, Mary." Billy Peters went home with a headache. It took Billy two days to straighten out this tangle. This time he had a real idea. He put two slips of paper into a hat. One was marked Ellen and the other was marked Mary. He closed his eyes and drew out Ellen. That night Billy called again. One of the twins was in the parlor. "Ellen," he began, tremulously. "I'm Mary," she smiled. Billy swallowed hard. Well, what difference did it make? ' "Mary," he asked, "will you be my wife?" She shook her head. "I'm sorry, Billy. I like you. But I won't marry until Ellen marries." The other twin entered the parlor. Billy manipulated his fountain pen and then shook hands with Ellen. He Beemed quite sorry that he had inked her hand. But he had her marked. That was the main thing. Half an hour later one of the twins left the room. The one that remained had ink on one hand. Billy hastened to her side. "Ellen," he whispered,V'will you be my wife?" She shook her head. "I'm sorry, Billy. I like you. But I won't marry until Mary marrieB." Billy Peters staggered to the door. "What do you think I am," he demanded, "a Mormon?" But there was still a fight left in this much, harassed lover. Soon he had another plan. He'd dip up a nice chap—lots of nice chaps. He'd take them to the Roy home. If one of them married Ellen he'd take Mary, and it one married Mary, he'd march off with Ellen. He brought nine young men to their home. Then the twins woke up and told him to stop. "I'll marry nohody but you," said Ellen. * "And I'll marry nobody, hut you," said Mary. "But I won't marry you unless you marry Mary." "And I won't marry you unless you marry Ellen." tn "And I won't marry until Mary marries." "And I won't marry until Ellen marries." There was a wild light In Billy Peter's eyes. He thanked them for the great honor they had thrust upon him and made his way to the street. Six hours later a man stealthily approached a policeman, who was minding his own business, as policemen do, \ "Ssh!" he said. "IiOok/» The policeman looked.

I happened to be in the police commissary's office when she came to tell him of it I promised her to do my best, and have sent her a note that will make her happy. I reckon she will be here to-morrow to ask for her bike." Tips had aroused my curiosity. "When she comes I want to see her." "All right, sir." Before calling on Baron S I the thief must have watched his op portunlty to raise it unobserved. Only a man with a cool head and a Bteady hand would have dared to attempt this, In a room full of people with half a dozen attendants near the tables. Uncle Jerome had already questioned the servants, driving them to the verge of hysterics. I came to the conclusion that they knew nothing, and that no information of value could be obtained from the ladles or their loudvoiced relative. While I was examining the room in search of a possible clue, I heard Uncle Jerome call out in angry tones: "And what about the baron's coat? Does Monsieur Goron know anything about that?" I turned around. "What baron, and what coat?" "Well, you see, Monsieur Goron," said Madame H , "it was altogether an unfortunate day, for when Baron S asked for bis coat it was nowhere to be found." - "Has anything else been stolen?" I Inquired. "No," said Madame H . "I think this was quite enough for one afternoon." "I think so too," interrupted the uncle; "the baron must have a fine opinion of the people you receive." And turning to me, he added: "I have the pleasure of being one of the baron's friends, and it makes it very awkward for me—very! I introduced him here." Ton B'muse. He bad an apartment in the Avenue de l'Alma; and I went there toward eleven in the morning. Hie servant a tall, well-built young man, informed me in bad French with a strong Russian accent that his master was having his bath, and would receive me in a few minutes. He soon appeared, a distinguished, aristocratic man. I apologized for disturbing bim so early, and begged him to give me an account of the disappearance of his coat. "Between ourselves/' he smiled, "I am surprised these accidents do not happen oftener. This is my second winter in Paris, and the third time I have attended one of these functions. They are a boon to the Paris thieves. I am sorry I lost my fur coat; it was valuable. My idiot of a servant will tell you how it occurred—Boris!" The valet, at the baron's request, then explained to me, in his abominable French, that he had been waiting in tbe hall for his master, with the coat over*his arm. Finding it cumbersome, with so many people passing in and out, he had put it in a little room leading from the hall, and when he went to fetch it it was gone. "But why did you not leave it in charge of one of the servants?" I asked. "f expected my master to come down every moment, and as the door of the little room was open I could keep my eyes on- the coat all the time. I may At my request Madame > made, a {have lost sight of it for a second." * rough sketch of the pendant It wis* * The baron shrugged bis shoulders, made an inquiry about Alfred O , and what I heard was deplorable. The fortune he had inherited from his mother was squandered in less than; two years, and his father, a retired colonel, was almost ruined by his son's extravagance. Alfred raised money when he could,.and in a gambling- club had been accused of attempting to cheat This charge bad never been nroved, and it ended in a duel, when he ran two -inches of steel into his traducer's body. He belonged to a good family, and was distantly related to Madame H , whose bouse be visited regularly. The baron, I learned, had an estate in Russia, where he passed the sum- „ , . • . • , . . . mer. Tbe This case was absolutely intact and U winters he spent in Paris and w a j J y e r y ^ o p u l a r , t b e w w J d o u ing tbe nfghttfi. was informed that ItWll of Oriental design, set with large diamonds, ending in a small lotus flower. I also asked for the address of the baron, whom I wanted to see about the coat, and learned he was a Russian, very rich, living in the Avenue de TAlma. As I rose to leave, Uncle Jerome insisted on a minute's private conversation. "Monsieur Goron," he began when we were alone, "I did not like to speak before my sister-in-law; but I consider it my duty to mention a certain gentleman to you—Alfred O-—, a relative by marriage of Madame H , a good-for-nothing, who has been mixed up in several ugly affairs. I begged my sister-in-law repeatedly not to receive him; but he plays the 'funnyman,' amuses the ladies, and makes himself at home here—too much so." , "Do you mean to imply—" ' "I imply nothing, J am only giving you a hint." The valet opened the door for me, and at that moment a closed'cab drove up; a young man alighted and remained talking to a lady inside, A lace veil hid her face. 'Who Is that?" Tasked the valet That'* Monsieur Alfred," he replied, with the shadow of a sneer, "and thai woman insiders 4»fs friend Tips/" K "Who Is tips?" "Not much good." Alfred, apparently was not a persona grata* Thus far I had no clue Whatever. I therefore resolved n6t to act before I had seen both the baron and Alfred. . In my office two inspectore met tne with smiling faces. "You, were right rtr/Vsald one, ("about these bicycle thieves. We ar* *«te4 4b#m this morning, audi found and I heard the wood "fool." I put a few questions; but as neither the baron nor Boris could supply any further information, I withdrew. In the room I had detected a peculiar perfume, very faint without being able to fix it with certainty. I could not positively say whether it emanated from the room itself or from one of the men. Slight as it was, it caught my attention,, as my sense of smell is acute. I had written a note to Alfred 0 asking him to call, and found him waiting for me. I need not describe that type of young man—to be met on the race-course, at first nights, at fashionable gatherings—to whom life is nothing but a huge joke. He roared with laughter when I broached the subject of the robbery. "Please excuse me, Monsieur Goron, the whole thing is so ludicrous. Do you know, that Uncle Jerome, whom you saw this morning, darkly, hinted that I stole the pendant? I heard it from the little German governess. I think he dees it out ot revenge because I made fun of i t You never saw anything so ugly.

The neat day when I was busy Inves* UfftUn* a ease that had happened 4u* Georgette Chewilier, alias Tips, was down-stairs, having come about her bicycle. "Show her in at once," I said. Georgette was pretty She was small, remarkably graceful, with large, brown, intelligent eyes. "You wanted, to see me?" she remarked in a gentle voice. "Madame Georgette " I began. "Please call me Tips; everybody does." "Very well; Tips, since you prefer it, I had the pleasure of seeing you a couple of days ago." "Me? Where?" "In a cab; you were talking to your friend." "What friend?" "Alfred 0 ." "He is not my friend, Monsieur Goron. Not in the sense you mean; and I do not understand you." "Never mind, Tips. By the way, are you glad your bicycle is found?" "Rather. But the stupid people at the Police Commissariat are fussing to make me prove I am the rightful owner of the machine. I can give you the receipt of the maker; I have brought it with me." She put her hand Inside her muff, and with her purse drew out a small silk pocket handkerchief which she laid on my writing-table. I took it up, for I immediately detected the same faint perfume that had struck me at the baron's chambers. "What scent Is that, Tips?" I asked. "There is no scent on it," she replied crossly. "I never use any!" "Do you mean to tell me you smell nothing?" And I held the handaerchief to her nose. "No; nothing." "In that case, Tips, all I can say is She took It out of her purse and threw it on the table. It was a tiny lotus flower In green enamel and gold. I gaaed at it a long time, and could hardly repress a smile when, looking up, I noticed the expression In Tips' eyes. "Why do you laugh, Monsieur Goron?" she asked.. "And do you mind explaining whrit it all means?" "I am laughing for several reasons, TIpb; but especially because you eye me suspiciously. It is the world reversed," She was hplding the handkerchief to her nose, and sniffing hard. "It may be my imagination," she said, "but I fancy I trace a slight smell of violets. Is that the scent you meant?" "No, Tips. Perfumes, like flowers, have a language of their own, a language which I am afraid you would not understand. I shall keep the handkerchief and the enameled flower, for I have a notion that I shall come across the person who is now anxiously looking for both. Will you come back this afternoon?" "Certainly." And she tripped out of tbe room. P I had made no discloures to ber, and let her go, fully convinced of the truth of her etory. I was beginning to see daylight, and the matter was also growing in interest. My first visit was to Madame H , whom fortunately I found at home. She recognized the lotus flower aB forming part of the stolen pendant, and pressed me with questions, which I refused to answer. Then I went to the Cafe Sylvain. Tips* statement was confirmed by the waiter. A dark, cloBe-shaven man had dined there the night before, and had dropped several things. After he had "That remains to be seen." I continued. "For the moment I have to deal with you, and I must say that I am surprised your master should have selected you to assist him in his work. I never saw a man so bungle things. "Your master and you go to Madame H 's house on an expedition of a peculiar nature. Your master— apparently a ^reat expert—performs a marvelouB trick of slight-of-hand In making a jewel disappear from a glass case, aud then diverts suspicion by posing as a victim. That story of the stolen coat was cleverly invented; but from the way you told it, it dawned upon me that you might be the Bupposed thief and that the coat is here now. "Your next mistake w-as also very bad; your master, having extracted the diamonds from tbe pendant, left you the gold Betting—no doubt by way of perquisite—and you put the little lotus fiower in your pocket In the evening you wanted to play the 'swell.' You dined in a fashionable restaurant; but you got so drunk that you dropped your gloves, your handkerchief, and also the gold flower. "Worse still/ your handkerchief and gloves tell—I should rather say smell —their own tale, People in your profession should not use Bcent. Unfortunately for your master, his olfactory nerves are less developed than his other senses, otherwiae he would not have allowed you to use it. I noticed that smell when I called after the robbery. "Now comes your crowning per formance: Your Russian accent was as good a thing as ever I heard. I even own that at first it deceived me. But you should have remembered that when a man once adopts a foreign accent he must stick to it—even when he is alone.

And now, allow me to wish you good-morning." "Please sit down again, Tips, and excuse my being what you call Indiscreet But I must and will know more about this handkerchief. Once more I ask you how you came by it!" "I picked it up last night st the Cafe Sylvain." Do you know who lost It?" Yes; a man." "What man?" VI don't know him." "Tips, speak the truth." "I am speaking the truth. I swear it. 1 had dined at Syivain's last night and was drinking my coffee, when-a* gentleman at the table next to me asked the waiter for his bill. I fancy he must have taken a little too much champagne, for he dropped first hit pocket-book, then his keys, and finally several gold pieces.

Thrusting them into my pocket, I promptly drove to the Avenue de l'Alma. The baron—the concierge informed me—was out of town. I mounted the knocked your shins, you started swearing in the purest Parisian slang. "And the result of these mistakes is that it Is now my duty to arrest you." The changes in the man's face, while I spoke, were extraordinary.

I softly stole down-stairs, and In less than three-quarters of an hour returned with tw* of my men. Boris opened the door. His master, he said, had gone *o Nice. "That does not matter," I remarked; "my visit is to you. I have come to bring you the news that I have discovered the man who stole your toaster's coat I can even give you the addres* of the house where you will find It" t The man eyed me and my compan- Ions with astonishment, and remarked that his master would be glad to hear I t • the cupboards. The man seemed numbed. When we arrived at the Policy Prefecture I gave orders to let him what we cn'T in police parlance "simmer" in a room by himself to collect his thoughts. An hour later I sent for him. The clock struck four. 1 remembered Tips. She had arrived, "Do yon know that gentleman?" I askedkher, pointing to Boris. "Why, yes; he's the man who sat at the table next to me st Sylvaln's, and*-*—" "That will do, Tips." t I took her to one of the rooms ad* joining my office, and said: "You baye unconsptously placed yourself in danger, and unconsciously have rendered me a service, for which I thank you. Let me now five yon a word of advice. Don't frequent cafes* and if aver again you find something 1 i i 'nun! rn mum i i nr in a public place,-dent put it In your pocket. It might prove fatal." Tips' eyes opened wide. "No, Tips; I have no time for explanation. Good-by." And I returned to my prisoner. Boris was pacing up and down the room, and, in a hoarse voice, said: "It is all up with me. The smash was bound to come. The man I am serving bought bis title in Italy. I met him three years ago in Moscow, in a club where I was one of the attendants in the baccarat-room. These Russian clubs are hells. One wight I gave, way tov temptation. I was con- ; ducting a 'haltoipgy gentleman to his* carriage. His portfolio, full of banknotes, was hanging out of his pocket ., and I took it. I thought nobody was near; but Baron S had watched me. He told me to come to his rooms that night, and forced me to write a confession of my crime, promising not to denounce me so long as I served him faithfully. Tbe next day I discovered that he was a dangerous adventurer; he has come to Paris for a big coup that he supposes will bring him in a lot of money," , . „ "Why, then, did be atea! that pendant, a most difficult undertaking, where he ran a terrible risk?" "I have asked myself that question several times. I am inclined to Vbink he was short of money. On the other hand, he is a strange men. Danger attracts bim, and I would,pot be surprised if the very difficulty of tho thing tempted bim." Heaving a sigh, he added: "I don't care what becomes of me. Monsieur- Goron,'11*1 but get? -out of that man's clutches-."*. The baron bad'gone to Nice, and Boris gave me his address. I bad telegraphed to Nice to keep an eye upon him until my arrival. I waited until he returned from the'club to his hotel, and then informed bim that he would have to come with me to Paris, to answer the charge of having stolen a jewel. He eyed me for a moment with a Blight lifting of the eyebrows. "I must warn you, Monsieur Goron," he eaid, "that you are risking your position by arresting me on such a nre* poetereus' charge." "I take the risk." He did not utter a syllable when wa overhauled his luggage, nor when we searched hie pockets. And all the way to the capital he remained silent. At the Police Prefecture he made a forma) protest against his arrest, and then drove with me and an official to his apartment, which had been kept under observation. Except the famous fur coal I found nothing of interest beyond a quantity of correspondent* and a heap of documents—chiefly in Russian—which I sealed In his presence and took back to the Prefecture On the following morntog^tkw Mron was to be confronted with Boris. I had Informed Madame H — than Baron S had been arrested; and a couple of hours later she and Uncle> Jerome came to my office in great alarm to 1 ell me that they did not want to prefer a charge against the baron. I looked at them In amazement "Yes." they said, speaking in excited tones, "this case roust never come to trial. We dare not face the scandal." "What Bcandal?" I shouted. "The scandal in the press. Why, we should become tbe laughing-stock of all Paris!" "You surely cannot expect me," I sternly returned, "to enter into such 'considerations. I think myself lucky in having caught that fellow, and he certainly shall not escape. Moreover, you do not Beem to be aware that even your withdrawing the charge would not further matters as far as you are concerned, for the case Ib already In the public prosecutor's hands." They whispered together, and left. But it was written that this affair should be fraught with surprises. I was asked to call at once on tbe examining magistrate on an urgent matter, and.- with s grim:''#!fl§Ie;-< be handed me a document - Tt was a demand from the Russian Government for the ex tradition of a so-called Baron S on s charge of forging bonds, swindling, and bribing state officials. f It meant transportation for fife.

Do what you can for that poor wretch Boris.*He has nothing to do with this Russian business. I trust you understand me?" It spoke well for the man that In' this hour of trouble he thought of tbe humble companion whose ruin he bad worked. Things altogether underwent an odd change. It was decided not to proceed against the baron in connection with the jewel robbery, as It was doubtful whether, owing to Madame H •* attitude, a conviction could be obtained.' After the usual formalities the baron was handed £ver to the Russian officials, and twenty yean' transportation fell to his share. Boris was released from custody after a severe admonition.

CHAPTER II.—Continued. So he remembered Clara Van Camp's advice, wrote the whole story to Aleck, and cast about for the one successful businesb chance in the four (thousand nine hundred and ninetynine bad ones—as the statistics fcave it. He- actually found it in shoes. Footfcall muscle and grit went into the job of putting superior shoe on inferior foot, if necessary—at least on some foot. He got a chance to try his powjers in the home branch of a manufacturing house, and made good. (When became to Mi a position where sthere was opportunity to try new ideas, he tried them. He inspected tanneries and stockyards. He got composite measurements of all the feet In all the women's colleges in the year ninety-seven, he drilled salesmen and opened a night school for the buttonhole-makers, he made scientific study of heels, and he invented an aristocratic arch and put it on the market. i The family joked about his doings as the harmless experiments of a lively boy, but presently they began to ienjoy his income. Through it all they were affectionate and kind, with the matter-of-course fondness which a family gives to the members that [takes the part of useful drudge. John, ,the pet of the parents, married, and Tiad his own eyes opened, it is to •be supposed. Donald, the genius, had 'just arrived, after a dozen years or iso, at the stage where he was mentioned, now and then in the literary journals. But Jim stuck to shoes and kept the family on a fair tide of modest prosperity. I Once, In the years of Jim's apprenticeship to life, there came over him a fit of soul-sickness that nearly (Proved his ruin. I " M\ can't stand this," he wrote to * Aleck Van Camp; "U'fe too hard and 'dry and sordid for any man that's got a soul. It isn't the grind I mind, •though that is bar enough; it is the •Commercial Idea* that eats into a man's innards. .

It is but justice to say that if it had not been, Romance had dangled her luring wis'p-o' light in vain. Several of his new schemes had worked out well, his subordinates were of one mind with him, 'trade was flourishing. He felt he could afford a little spin. Jimsy's radiating fancies focussed themselves, at last, on the vision of a trig little sail-boat, "a jug of wine, a loaf of brsad" in the cabin, with possibly a book of verses underneath the bow, or more suitably, in the shadow of the sail; and Aleck Van Camp and himself astir in the rigging or plunging together from the gunwale for an early swim. "And before I get off, I'll hear a singer that can sing," he declared. He telegraphed Aleck, w£o was by this time running down the eyelid of the squid, to meet him at his club in New York. Then he made short work with- the family. Experience had taught him that an attack from ambush was most successful. "Look hfere, Edith"—this was at the breakfast-table the very morning of his departure. Edith was sixteen, the tallest girl in the academy, almost ready for college and reckoned quite a queen in her world—"You be good and de my chores for me while I'm away, and I'll bring you home a duke. Take care of mother's bronchitis, and keep the house straight. I'm going on a cruise." "All right, Jim"—Edith could always be counted on to catch the ball —"go ahead and have a bully time and don't drown yourself. I'll drive the team straight to water, mother and dad and* the whole outfit, trust me!" Considering the occasion and the correctness of the sentiments, Jim forbore, for once, from making the daily suggestion that she chasten her language. By the time the family appeared, Jim had laid out a rigid course of action for Miss Edith, who rose to the occasion like a soldier. "Mother'll miss you, of course, but Jack and Harold"—two of Edith's admirers—" Jack and Harold can come around every day—stout arm to lean upon, that sort of thing. You know mother can't be a bit jolly without plenty of men about, and since Sue became engaged she really doesn't count. The boys will think they are running things, of course, but they'll see my iron hand in the velvet glove —you can throw a blue chip on that, JImsy. And don't kiss me, Jim, for Dorothy Snell and I vowed, when we wished each other's rings on—Oh, well, brothers don't count." And so, amid the farewells of a tender, protesting family, he got off. leaving Edith in the midst of one of her monologues. There was a telegram in New York saying that Aleck Van Camp would join him in three daj^s, at the latest. Hambleton disliked the club and left it, although his first intention had been to put up there. He picked out a modest, up-town hotel, new to him, for no other reason than that it had a pretty name. The Larue, Then he began to consider details. The day after his arrival was occupied In making arrangements for his boat. He put into this matter the same painstaking buoyancy that he had put into a dull business for twelve years. He changed his plans half a dozen times and exceeded them V ; : a i w n torn* to**™. wWchtaad W^C:$et*B dro§*»<l dorlng tfce transition later ne coninveu w iu$vw worn »u wholly in the size and equipment of Jofin jSoston, «0 that"be could go out the little vessel and in the consequent expense; but he justified himself, as men will, by a dozen good reasons. The trig little sail-boat turned out to be a respectable yacht, steam, at that. She was called the Sea Gull Neat in the beam, stanch in the bows, rigged for coasting and provided with a decent living outfit, she was "good enough for any gentleman/' in the opinion of the agent who rented her. Jim was half ashamed at giving up the more robust scheme of sailing his own boat, with Aleck: but some vague and expansive spirit moved him ''to see," as he said, "what it would bo like to go as far and as fast as we please" While they were about it, thf»v would call on some cousins at Bar Harbor and get good fun out of it. The idea of his holiday grew as he played with it As his spin took on a more complicated character, his zest rose. He w^nt forth on Sunday feeling as if some vital change Was impending.

"Dramatic Soprano" was on the program; a new name, quite unknown to Jim. His interest in the^ soloist waned, but the orchestra was'enough. He thanked Heaven that he was past the primitive stage of thinking any single voice more interesting than the assemblage of instruments known as orchea/ra. Ha'mbleton found a place in the dim vastness of the hall, and sank into his seat in a mood of vivid anticipation. The instruments twanged, the audience gathered, and at last the music began. Its first effect was to rouse Hambleton to a sharp attention to details— the director, the people in the orchestra, the people in the boxes; and then he settled down, thinking his thoughts. The past, the future, life and its meaning, love and its power, the long, long thoughts of youth and ambition and desire came flocking to his brain. The noble confluence of sound that is music worked upon him its immemorial miracle; his heart softened, his imagination glowed, his spirit stirred. Time was lost to him—and earth. The orchestra ceased, but Hambleton did not heed the commotion about him. The pause and the fresh beginning of the strings scarcely disturbed Mb ecstatic reverie. A deep hush lay upon the vast assemblage, broken only by the voices of the violins. And then, in the zone of silence that lay over the listening people— silence that vibrated to the memory of tho strings—there rose a little song. To Hambleton, sitting absorbed, it was as if the circuit which galvanized him into life had suddenly been completed. He sat up. The singer's lips were slightly parted, and her voice at first was no more than the half-voice of a flute, sweet, gentle, beguiling. It was borne upward on the crest of the melody, fuller and fuller, as on a flooding tide. "Freeso orrfo wm.y pain, free of my burden of At last I (shall see thee—**, There was freedom in the voice, and the sense of space, of wind on the waters, of life and the love of life. Jimsy was a soft-hearted fellow. He never knew what happened to him; but after uncounted minutes he seemed to be choking, while the orchestra and the people in boxes and the singer herself swam in a hazy distance. He shook himself, called somebody he knew very well an idiot, and laughed aloud in his joy; but his laugh did not matter, for it was drowned in the roar of applause that reached the roof. • Jim did not applaud. He went outdoors to think about it; and after a time he found, to his surprise, that he could recall not only the song, but the singer, quite distinctly. It was a tall, womanly figure, and a fair, bright face framed abundantly with dark hair, and the least little humorous twitch to her lips. And her name was Agatha Redmond. "Of course, she can sing; but it isn't like having the real thing—'tisn't an alto," said Jimsy ungratefully and just from habit. The day's experience filled his thoughts and quieted his restlessness. He awaited Aleck with entire patience. Monday morning he spent in small necessary business affairs, securing, among other things, several hundred dollars, which he put in his money-belt. About the middle of the afternoon he left his hotel, engaged a taxicab and started for ftfverside. The late summer day was fine., with the afternoon haze settling over river and town. He watched the procession of carriages, the horseback riders, the people afoot, the children playing on the grass, with a feeling of comradeship. -Was he not also tasting freedom— a lord of the earth ? His gaze traveled out to the river, with the glimmer here and there of a tug-boat, a little steamer, or the white sail of a pleasure craft, 'tho blood of some seagoing ancestor stirred in his veins, and he thrilled at the thought of the days to come when his prow should he headed offshore... the taxicab bad its limitations, and Hambleton suddenly became impatient of its monotonous slithering along the firm road. Telling the driver to follow him, he descended and crossed to where Cathedral Parkway switches off He walked briskly feeling the tonic of the saa air. ami circled the cathedral, where workmen were lounging away after their day's toll. The unfinished edifice loomed up like era, and through its mighty open arches antf buttresses Jlipjjaw fleecy clouds' scudding across . ^ ¾ ' western sky. A stone saint* mufflejpin jijuriap. had just^fceen swung) u|f iritb his windy niche, but had not^j&t discarded his robes of th&nWQrl4& Hambleton was regarding the shapeless figure with mild interest, wondering which saint of the calendar could look so grotesque, when a sound drew his attention sharply to earth. It was a small sound, but there was something strange about it. It was startling as a flash in a summer sky. Besides the workmen, there was no living thing in sight on the hillside except his own taxicab. swinging slowly up the avenue at that moment, and a covered motor-car getting up speed a square away. Even as the car approached, Hambleton decided that the strange sound had proceeded from its ambushed tonneau; and it was, surely, a human voice of distress. He stepped forward to the curb. The car was upon him, then lumbered heavily and swiftly past. But on the instant of its passing there appeared, beneath the lifted curtain and quite near his own face, the face of the singer of yesterday; and from pale, agonized lips, as if with dying breath, she cried, "Help, help!" Hambleton knew her instantly, although the dark abundance of her hair was almost lost beneath hat and flowing veil, and the bright, humorous expression was blotted out by fear. He stood for a moment rooted to the curb, watching the dark mass of the car as it swayed down the hill. Then he beckoned sharply to his driver, met the taxicab half way. and pointed to the disappearing machine. "Quick! Can you overtake it?" "I'd like nothing better than to run down one o* them Dook machines!" said the driver. CHAPTER III. Midsummer Madness. The driver 0 f the taxicab proved to be a sound sport. . Five minutes of luck, aided by nerve, brought the two machines somewhat nearer together. The motor- car gained in the open spaces, the taxicab caught up when it came to weaving its way in and out and dodging the trolleys. At the frequent moments when he appeared to be losing the car, Hambleton reflected that he had its number, which might lead to something. At the Waldorf the car slowed up, and the cab came within a few yards. Hambleton made up his mind at that instant that he had been mistaken in his supposition of trouble threatening the lady, and looked momently to see her step from the car into the custody of those starched and lacquered menials who guard the portals of fashionable hotels. But it was so. A signal was interchanged between the occupants of the car and some watcher in the doorway, and the car sped on. Hambleton, watching steadily, wondered, "If she is being kidnaped, why doesn't she make somebody hear? Plenty of chance. They couldn't have killed her—that Isn't done." And yet his heart smote him as he remembered the terror and distress written on that countenance and the cry for help. "Something was1 the matter," memory insisted. "There they go west; west Tenth, Alexander Street, Tenth Avenue—" The car lumbered on, the cab half a block, often more, in the rear, through endless regions of small shops and offices huddled together above narrow sidewalks, through narrow and winding streets paved with cobblestones and jammed with cars and trucks, squeezing past curbs where dirty children sat playing within a few inches of death-dealing wheels. Hambleton wondered what kept them from being killed by hundreds dally, but the wonder was immediately forgot ten in a new subject for thought. The cab had stopped, although several yards of clear road lay ahead of it. The driver was climbing down. The motor-car was nosing its way along nearly a block ahead. Hambleton leaped out. "Of course, we've broken down?" he mildly inquired. Deep in his heart he was superstltiously thinking that he .would let fate determine his next move; if there were obstacles in the way of his further quest, well and good; he would follow the Face no longer. 'if you'll wait just a minute—" the driver was saying, "until I get my kit out—" But Hambleton, looking ahead, saw that the car had disappeared, and his mind suddenly veered. "Not this time," he announced. "Here, the meter says four-twenty you take this, I'm off." He put a fivedollar bill into the hand of the driver and started on an easy. run toward the west. He had caught sight of the smokestacks and masts in the near distance, telling him that the motor-car had almost, if not quite, reached the river. Such a vehicle could not disappear and leave no trace; It ought to be easy to find.

He pointed west into the cavernous darkness of thewharves. "If she ain't down at the Imperial docks she's gone plump Into the river, for that's the way she went/' he insisted. The policeman had the bearing of a major-general and the accent of the city of Cork. Hambleton went on past the curving street-car tracks, dodged a loaded dray emerging from the dock, and threaded his way under the shed. He passed piles of trunks, and a couple of truckmen dumping assorted freight from an ocean liner. No motor-car or veiled lady, nor sound of anything like a woman's voice. Hambleton came out into the street again, looked about for another probable avenue of escape for the car and was at the point of bafflement, when the major-general pounded slowly along his way. "In there, my son, and no nice place either!" pointing to a smaller entrance alongside the Imperial docks, almost concealed by swinging signs. It was plainly a forbidden way, and at first sight appeared too narrow for the passage of any vehicle whatsoever. But examination showed that it was not too narrow; moreover, it opened on a level with the street. - "If you really want her, she's in there, though what'll be to pay if you go in there without a permit, I don't know. I'd hate to have to arrest you." "It might be the best thing for me if you did, but I'm going in. You might wait here a minute, Captain, if you will." "I will that; more especially as that car was a stunner for speed and I already had my eye on her,, I'd like to see you fish her out or that hole."

" RINGWORM ON CHILD'S FACE Stratford, Iowa.—"Three years ago this winter my seven-year-old son had ringworm on the face. First it was in small red spots which had a rough crust on the top. When the£ started they looked like little red dots and then they got bigger, about the size of a bird's egg. They bad a white rough ring around them, and grew continually worse and soon ' spread ovel^his face and legs. The child suffered terrible itching and burning, so that he could not sleep nights. He scratched them and they looked fearful. He was cross when he had them. We used several bottles of liniment, but nothing helped.

I used Cuticura Snap and Ointment about one month, and they cured my child completely." (Sfgned) and out of sight.

The river bank, lined with docks, seemed lulled into temporary quietness. Ferryboats steamed at their labors farther up and down the river, but the currents of travel left here and there a peaceful quarter such as this. Hambleton's gaze searched the dock and the river in a rapid survey. The dock itself was dim and vast, with a few workmen looking like ants in the distance. It offered nothing of encouragement; but on the river, fifty yards away, and getting farther away every minute, was a yacht's tender.. The figures of the two rowers were quite distinct, their oars makin.g rhythmical flashes over the water, but it was impossible to say exactly what freight, human or otherwise, it carried. It was evident that there were people aboard, possibly several. Even'as Hambleton strained his eyes to see, the outlines of the row boat merged into the dimness. It was Adv. THE CASE.

Hambleton's mind at last slid to its conclusion, like a.holt into its socket. "They're .kidnaping her, without a doubt," he said slowly. For a moment he was like one struck stupid. Slowly he turned to the dock, looking up and down its orderly but unprepossessing j t e r » clutter. Dim lights shone here and ' there, and a few hands were at work at the farther end. The dull silence, the unresponsive preoccupation of whatever life was in sight, made it all seem as remote from him and from this tragedy as from the stars. In fact, it was impersonal and remote to such a degree that Hambleton's practical mind halted yet an instant, in doubt whether there were not some plausible explanation. Tho thought came back to him suddenly that the motor-car must be somewhere in the neighborhood if his conclusion were correct. ;iM ie laun pgle aDsJ-b- !<'M"•*'lie« ytheeamrs.. N• YS. aAmdpvle.

HAT fixed the time for tha ending of one year and the beginning of another1? More light. In the countries where winter is cold and dark aad grim the severest weather comes after the old year goes. It was in less biting air, but in increasing light, that the proof was found dl the "turn o' the year." The dead year is often buried to the dirge of winter's most bitter winds. The frost is going deeper, when the season is normal. Nature's sleep is most profound. There is only one sign that the sun has turned and is coming back. That evidence is a little more daylight, a little less of the darkness of night. But more light is enough. It makes the change a time of joy, of new hopes and more confident turning to the future. There is the promise of spring in the added light of the day and the promise of growing good and retreating evil in the coming of the new year. It means that mankind has another chance for better things. It gives hope of a new foothold and endeavor to a fresh start. The world is invited to turn4ts back on the mistakes and sins and troubles of the past and look to the ever-wonderful possibilities of the unknown time to come. There is the charm and joy of New Year's. In that revival of drooping confidence, in that lure of the infinite, lies .the appeal of the day which is always greeted with enthusiasm, no matter how many generations have seen the hopes of the year's birth wither before its death. After many failures success may come. Who knows? That is the magic question—"Who knows?" The world gains from year to year in a thousand little things, and sometimes a great evil long endured goes crashing down. Who can say what the limit of triumph may be in the better times to come? For the world, like every young year, is getting more light. It haa more of the sunshine of truth, more of the life-giving rays of knowledge. If they seem cold and sterile, at times, it is because humanity's5 year is still young. "We are ancients of the earth, and in the morning of the times." This increasing light of knowledge, this brighter beacon to guide the steps of mankind, must flower and fruit in richer gains than humanity has yet wop. It is. an accumulating force, like the warpth which the sun gives the eartt-in' spring The thinkers and dreamers of the world know that this is so. They are inspired by the consciousness that with growing knowledge there must come increased power and higher wisdom to direct and control it for the help and uplifting of.mankind. The faith sees the life and growth, the color and warmth of spring, in the lengthening days of winter. They perceive that the world of men and women, and of the children, too, though still far from the full tide of Its summer, is already well into the long new year of the human family. They are as certain of the spring for all mankind as they are that January will pass and May will come. It is a mistake to reflect too much upon »the past. It has its lessons, but the learning of them should not so absorb our attention as to preclude us from incorporating them into our daily life, transmuting the memory and experience into the gold of useful practicability and ready work that yields results. Introspection was getting so insistently a habit of the New Year that we are beginning to forget it was but a means to an end—the reflective porch to the large and spacious chamber of lofty resolve and accomplishment. We fancy sometimes that a faint suggestion of maudlin sentiment crept into the self-analysis, converting what should have proved a stepping stone to higher planes of activity into a more purgatory of self-abnegation ending in a cul-de-sac. We want to make our reflection an avenue that leads through paths of earnest thought to the high tablelands of glorious endeavor and achievement. The soul itself must be utilitarian and no^waste itself in unprofitable penance. What has the year accomplished for womanhood? There has unquestionably been a remarkable renaissance of the feminine. Woman has broadened her outlook, established her claim to wider recognition of her talents, im-* pressed public life with her power for good, and raised her physical and mental scale of the sex. Thank God, among the general advancement there is one that Is inspiringly reactionary—-a reversion to the old veneration for the sanctity of motherhood—the holiest and divinest calling of all, a calling in-, volving great sacrifice, great sorrows, but bringing with it, on the other hand, untold compensating joys. In the medical profession woman has done well, while in the humbler ranks of nursing our efficient hospitals tell their own eloquent tale of the labor done by those who "watch the stars out by the bed of pain." For the large masses of the girlhood and womanhood the arena of commercial life has widened its doors, and evidence is seen on all hands of the efficiency of the new female recruits to the business ranks. Their presence in this great army of strenuous endeavor will tend to purify and strengthen it, and make it worthier than it has ever been before. The prizes are many, but those who do not gain them must not be disheartened. The very striving after them stiffens the fiber. "The athlete matured for the Olympian ' game gains strength at least for life." While I have dwelt in this short review of woman's progress on the more expert phases of her career, it must be pointed out that ability is not the be-all and the end-all of woman's existence. It is the great lever that moves things, but another quality is required for the settling down. Greater than all hex accomplishments is her capacity for shedding around her wherever she goes the fragrance of a sweet and beautiful life, and smoothing out th^ raveled sleeve of car-err—fr-is in the belief that she is £ully capable of this mission that one looks forward in confidence to the immediate future—a future in which the pulse of vibrant life will throb sympathetically and intellectually to the ultimate benefit of the whole of the(community. A99O9OOSI0 ©•&©€>ooooe word of mouth, truthfuf. "Ah what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." A lie seldom travels alone. It weaves a web, in the meshes thereof sooner or later we are humiliated. The truth alone is courageous, and courage Is a manly virtue. A lying tongue is the curse of a habit grafted on a cowardly nature. An individual is not honest with himself or honorable in his dealings with his fellow because he is not willing to face the unvarnished fact or bear the brunt and burden which justly is his; a responsibility only made irksome by his cowardly lie whereby he would shift the burden and stand behind the veneer of an assumption or false position. Fear not, the man within you will work out if you will it so; undiscouraged, undismayed, pressing on, you become conscious- that, having done your part, it is due to arrive. 1 Be not discouraged, fellow wayfarer, Yield to that man within you, whose insatiable longing is the inspiration that shall bring the nobler self to being; the self that now chafes at limitations; that opens the windows through which you see the visions of your undying hope, though distant yet existent, and yours to obtain if you will but hold your straight-way course. T h o u g h t s f o r N e w Y e a r ; • eo o e "Resolve and resolve and still go on the same?" Nay! Nay! not so; but rather resolve and with a steadfast purpose without equivocation or mental reservation, harness the firm resolution, the will of your intent to the wagon of your purpose loaded with the dutiful obligations of your everyday life. Obligations to home, to business relations, to the proper demand of your church and social environment, to civic and patriotic responsibilities. Duties never clash; v something Is paramount, something worth while. Do that! Be true to thyself, to that conception of that self which raises within you a real sense of self-respect; that self which you admire, to which you aspire; that manhood to which you would attain and toward which energies of mind and will bend, never loosing the call of the vision. Before all men honorable—a high sense of honor is a well spring of conscious joy and a reservoir of power to the possessor. The looking-glass of yourself often may discourage you, but it is the consciousness of what you ought to be, and the desire to attain, laying aside every weight or hindrance and running with patience the race you have set before you. Never stop the cry of your sdul, your real self, to the call of the unreached goal. The poets with thefr wide and deep discernment ofttimes sing truly of the soul cry and its evolution into an abundant life. Lowell: Of all theJmyriad words of mind That through the soul come throngring Which one was e'er so de&*, bo Kind So beautiful as longing? Th« thing we long for that we are For one transcendent moment Before the present poor and bare ' Can make its sneering com mailt. Laugh at Your Burden. Most of us are bending under the burden of some great load. It may be care, it may be disappointment, it may be injustice, it may be physical pair or spiritual discouragement, but it is heavy. Often it seems heavier than we can bear and we cry out and protest. These burdens are very real but really they are not half as big and heavy as we make them, declares a writer in the Universalist Leader.

The one spot which more than any other has controlled the history ol Europe lies, strangely enough, not in Europe Itself, but in Asia. For the possession of the site where Christ "suffered, was buried and rose again,' more blood has been shed than for any other. An immense number of lives were laid down during the Crusades; and for 600 years before the Crusades, and even to the present time, a constant stream of pilgrims has poured into Jerusalem to worship at the spot made sacred by the cruel flxion of Christ. From the fourth century after Christ until 50 years age this site was generally conceded tc be within the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Now two sites dispute the claim of being the actual Golgotha. This latter claimant is known as "Gordon's Calvary," though to an American, Dr. Harlan P. Beach, ol Yale university, is due the actual discovery of It, General Gordon, the hero of Khartoum, having first se cured for it general recognition.— Christian Herald.

"Once upon a time, many years ago," says the Western School Journal, "this editor visited a school in which the teacher in the grammar class tried to illustrate every verb by appropriate actions. Thus the verb run was pictured in a scamper around the schoolroom; the verb strike took form on a boy's back. 'But,' remarked the visitor, 'what are you going to dc with the verb He (to tell an untruth)?

CAVKBLY, Publisher SEEK TO HAVE CONFIDENCE Basis of One's Own, the World's, and Business Security—Distrustful People Ever Unhappy. Confidence is the basis of the world's peace and of business security. When nations diBtrust each other, suspicion follows, then comes anger and the seeds of war are planted. The business man who lacks confidence in a partner or an employ* suffers- itr consequence. Transactions involving millions or dollars are reported- every day on the stock exchange in New Yonk, and are based on an uplifted finger, a nod of the head or a word passing between the brokers. Business men take pride in hearing it said of them, "Their word is as good as their bond/' Secrets involving one's happiuess in life or success in business are intrusted to the mail, in a flimsy envelope with a two-cent Btainp, in full confidence that the message undisturbed and unbroken will reach its final destination. Confidence contributes to the welfare of those who have it, but the world is full of distrustful people. Shadows confront them on every side. They fly from imaginary dangers; they fight imaginary evils; they battle against wrongs that they conjure tip themselves; they worry over things that never happen. They are the disturbers of the peace. They make their own lives miserable and spread unhappiness all about them. They sound a note of discord when harmony prevails; they fight when others yield; they quarrel with the world and finish by quarreling with themselves. Confidence adds to the joy of the world, to the happiness of the people, to the progress of the times. It turns darkness into day, adversity into prosperity and, greatest of all its victories, it transforms death into life. Happy the man who makes it his watchword day by day! — John A.

Dog's Sense of Memory. An English clergyman once owned a dog which was very much attached to him. When he was compelled to leave his country for a long sojourn abroad the .clergyman took his devoted canine, companion to the house of his friend. There the dog remained for about two years. Then the long absent owner returned, and, arriving at ,hiB friend's house late at night, retired without having the dog called. Early next morftfhg tho sleeping owner was awakowad by the dog bursting into his bedroom and leaping upon him with the wildest demonstration of delight. 'How on earth did he know I had arrived?" asked the clergyman. "Oh, sir," the valet replied, "it is the most curious thing! Aa I was cleaning your boots the dog recognized them, and I have not been able to quiet him till he saw where I was carrying them and rushed along with tne to your door."

ONE OF THE MOST "PLEASANT" CONVENTIONS IN YEARS. A U Washington Regards Invasion Certain to B r i n g O n a L o n g and Costly W a r — T w o A m e r i c a n W o m e n Killed. President Taft a»d the cabinet are in accord that congress shall share the responsibility for any intervention in Mexico. A day of conferences between the president and his advisers ended with the understanding that should conditions in Mexico City become so much worse as to demand the landing of American troops, Mr. Taft will lay before both houses of congress the full facte of the situation in a special message. Every preliminary was arranged for the action which might follow such a course. Thirty-five thousand men of the army, navy and marine corps were put in readiness for movement. The first brigade of the first army division, just created in the reorganization, 3,000 men in ail, and the nucleus of an expeditionary force of 15,000 was put on marching orders ready to entrain for Newport News, Va., where army transports wait under steam. Between 2,500 and 3,000 marines of the Atlantic battleship fleet now at the Guantanamo naval station were prepared for immediate movement to Vera Cruz, where they might be kept aboard ship, ready for landing to blaze an avenue of escape to Mexico City for foreigners, as they did at Peking. But Madero was optimistic. Throughout the bombardment and the almost continuous rattle of machine guns and rifles, the president went about his work in the palace, apparently unper* turbed. He took counsel frequently with the finance minister, Ewiesto Madero. From time to time, ho was in"conversation with Gen. Huerta, the commander-in-chief, regarding the plans of attack. His courage was great, his confidence remarkable. Over at the arsenal, Gen. Diaz calmly directed the operations. He characterized them as solely defensive. He, too, was optimistic. Easy to Manage Just Then. Secretary MacVeagh of the treas ury department, after presenting a*, gold medal of Joseph Donellen of New York for the daring rescue of two drowning men, told an appropriate story. 'Mr. Donn ell en's bravery," he said, "is not like that of Peck. 'Peck,' a lady said, 'heard a noise in the night. His wife thought it was a burglar, but she wouldn't let Peck go downstairs.' "'Did Mr. Peck want to go?' a listener asked. • "'Well,' was the reply, 'his wife says he never was easier to manage.'" Tasmania's Microscopic Parliament. Tasmania, which has begun the year by holding a general election, the second within 12 months, possesses one of the smallest parliaments in the empire—an upper house of 18 and a lower one of 30. It has had an exarchdeacon qf the Church of England —the Hon. Thomas Reibey—among its premiers. Another premier, the late Sir Edward Braddon, was a brother of our veteran and roost prolific lady novelist. Tasmania is a very healthy place and is crowded with centenarians. The sergeant-at-arms is ninety, but the Tasmanian parliament is a very well behaved one, and he is never called upon to officiate as "chucker-out.'' Making a Distinction.

''They told me it was only a broken arm "~*London Saturday Journal. Mexico City, Feb. 13.—Gen. Diaz gained important advantages after another 12 hours of artillery fighting in the heart of a half ruined city. Thursday night the rebel commander was advancing his batteries toward the national palace, which he has shelled continuously. The Madero forces have received repulses all along the line of lighting. Hundreds were killed and wounded in Thursday's storm of lead and iron. The fighting was more sanguinary than on Wednesday. General Huerta again dared a frontal attack on the ciudadela, and was hurled back with heavy losses. Federal infantry were destroyed by the amazfcigly accurate machine gun fire directed by General Mondragon. General Diaz immediately followed up his advantage by planting batteries In practically all the strategic points that had been occupied, for three days by the Mederistas. Thursday night Diaz's red flag was flying in the Avenida de San Francisco, the principal approach to the national palace. The activity of Henry Lane Wilson, the American ambassador, removed at least 1,000 Americans, including many women and children, from the fighting ?one. These are quartered in the American embassy in the Colonia Roma, a mile and a half southwest of Diaz's fortress, or in private houses rented by the ambassador. Most Americans ire, however, without funds on account 3f the colsing of the banks. The temper ot all the foreign residents is at white heat because of the riolation of all the rules of the civilized warfare by both sides. It is said that :he British and German ministers reaewed energetically their protests to The number of dead and wounded cannot even be estimated, but it is large. For two hours during the forenoon the rebel gunners rained shot and shell at the lofty structures of the city, from the roofs of which federal sharp shooters and machine gun men had attempted to rake the insurgents in the trenches and behind the barricades of the arsenal. The shells from the heavy guns were well-timed, the explosions throwing perhaps hundreds of thousands of bullets into the roofs, effectually clearing for a time at least these buildings of the picked men from the federal troops. Some of the rebel shells and not a few rifle bullets reached the national palace, but none did serious damage, but it is not believed that Diaz seriously contemplates at the present time an atack on Madero's headquarters. SIX DREADNOUGHTS ON WAY. Six dreadnoughts, with approximately 6,000 jackies and officers, now are rushing under full steam for Mexican ports—four on the Atlantic and two on the Pacific. The first should arrive at her destination Friday; the last Sunday. Ten other crack fighting ships of the Atlantic battleship fleet, swinging at anchor 70 hours off at Guantanamo, are ready for sea. They have approximately 9,000 officers and men. Five other smaller craft in Central American waters are within call of the wireless.

While the.federal guns pounded the Diaz shell for shell on Saturday the senate of Mexico sat and discussed the ousting of Madero from the presidency. Confident of ultimately defeating Diaz, Madero defied the senate and ignored the counsel of Francisco de la Barra and other friends. He absolutely refused to resign, but did not take the trouble to make known his decision personalty to the senate. The American embassy again came directly within the line of fire, and the American ambassador, Henry Lane rifle bullets which whistled close to his Wilson, had a narrow escape from the head within the embassy.. Shortly before 5 o'clock the German legation was struck by a shell. •There were numerous caSualities among non-combatants. Madero Asks Taft for More Time.

Although all sorts of predictions had been made ^s to the manner in which the republican state convention would be conducted,, the annual spring conclave was carried on in a most harmonious manner, and with the exception of a spirited contest over the nomination of one justice, of the supreme court, there was little or no excitement. Allan H. Frazer, of Detroit, was selected by the republican state central committee to act as temporary chairman, but the request of the republican members of the legislature for recognition was headed and Senator W. Frank James, of Hancock, was made the permanent presiding officer of the convention. The selection of James appealed to the progressive wing of the republican party as he was the Roosevelt leader in Houghton county last fall, although running on the republican ticket, and heartly supporting the remainder of the G. O. P. slate. Senator James pleaded for harmony within the ranks of the republican party and urged the delegates to exert their influence with the legislature to secure the enactment of a number of progressive bills now under consideration. Justice Joseph \i, Steere, of Sault Ste. Marie, was renominated by acclammation, but Justice Moore was vigorously opposed, iiis principal contender ^being Circuit Judge Willis B. Perkins, of Grand Rapids. On the first ballot, Judge Perkins had a slight lead over Justice Moore, with Judge Gage, of Saginaw, running third and Judge.Mayne, of Charlevoix, in fourth place. The second ballot resulted in Justice Moore's renomination. Saginaw county withdrew the name of Judge Gage and threw its entire support to Justice Moore. Wayne county had given Justice Moore 134 votes on the first ballot, but when the second count was taken the dean of th6 supreme court received the vote of the entire Wayne delegation. After that there was a general stampede to the Moore camp and he wort the nomination by a good majority. Superintendent of Public Instruction L. L. 'Wright, of Ironwopd, was opposed by W. J. McKone, o;t Albion, but before the roll call of counties was finished, McKone's friends withdrew his name and Superintendent Wright was made the unanimous selection of the convention. By unanimous vote Frank Cody, of Detroit, was nominated for member of the state board of -education, while Walter H. Sawyer, of Hillsdale, and Victor M. Gore, of Benon Harbor, were the unanimous choice of the convention for regents of the university. A. J. Dougherty, of Clare, and Robert H. Graham, of Grand Rapids, were renominated without opposition as members of the state agricultural board. It was thought that there would be a hot contest over the nomination of a state highway commissioner to succeed Townsend A. Ely, but Qeputy Frank F. Rogers, of Lansing, made a runaway race of it and won with ease over that veteran of many political campaigns, Richard H. Fletcher, of Bay City. The? fact that Rogers was backed by practically all the county road commissioners of the state helped him considerable and before Wayne county was reached in the roll call, Rogers had a sufficient number of votes to land the nomination. ^he resolutions indorsed the initiative and referendum and favored the submission to the people of the recall amendment to the constitution, with judicial officers not included under its provisions. The resolutions also declared for a minimum wage law, civil service reform, the direct election of United States senators, conservation, good roads, a rearrangement of the state's taxation system, the stenographic report of legislative proceedings, and urges the national committee to call a convention to change the representation of southern states in the national convention, to make the basis of representation that of the vote cast. It was by far the largest and most enthusiastic spring convention that has been held by the republicans of Michigan in. many years. Practically every county was represented by a full quota of delegates. The men were engaged in shooting at telephone poles, and one of the bullets pierced Calomosa's breast, killing him almost instantly. Salini was accused of murder and at the examination pleaded not guilty. He changed his mind in circuit court and pleaded guilty to a reduced charge. Buchanan.—Fire believed to have been of incendiary origin destroyed the plant of the Lee & Potter Manufacturing company with a loss of ¢75,000. The company manufactures automobile a^les. While the watchman was engaged in extinguishing a fire which had started in a barn, another blaze broke out in the factory building. President Fred Lee stated that the plant will be rebuilt, probably. immediately. The company carried $40,000 insurance. Battle Creek.—A remarkable instance of a child's suffering without the parents' knowledge, is noted in the case of the three-monthsold daughter of Mr. and Aftrs. Alonzo Robinson of South Union street, in whose throat a safety pin was found. More than a week ago the baby became subject to fits of coughing. The parents did not understand it. Various remedies were tried, but they did no good. Finally the baby could get its breath at times only with difficulty. Sturgis.—The local Y. M. C. A. committee has plans for one of the finest little clubhouses for a city of this size in the state. The building will be located just east of County Secretary Walter A. Gospill's home, one block south of Chicago street, and will have four rooms, an athletic room, a fine clubroom, 16 by 20 feet, a small office, and a kitchen. Each room will be furnished and decorated in a manner suitable to its use. Petoskey.—For the purpose of discussing plans relative to combining the various poultry associations of Charlevoix and Emmet, counties into one big organization to be known as the' Northern Michigan Poultry Breeders' association, representatives from Charlevoix, Boyne City, Alanson, Harbor Springs and Petoskey will gather here. Flint.—Forrest X. Wilcox's shooting gallery, in the -heart of the business district, was burglarized while the proprietor was at lunch. Entrance was gained through a rear door and $50 was stolen from a UJL * •"*"- Manistee. — John Hendrickson, fifty years old, an inmate of the county poor house, committed suicide by slashing his throat with a jackknife. He had been unable to work" for four years because of a broken hip. ture in the spring and early summer permit of a wide variety of crops. The soil is rich and warm and is easily worked. Close attention to cultivation has resulted in record yields of all sorts of vegetable and small fruits which bring good prices in the cities and at the numerous railway construction camps. Mr. Harris Oium, an Alberta farmer, came from South Dakota eleven years ago and homesteaded the first 16ft acres in his township in 1902, which was divided between grain and pasture. He earned sufficient money to buy a quarter section of railway land at $11 an acre. The half section netted proportionate profits and he gradually increased his holdings to 1,920 acres, which was devoted to mixed farming last year. He values his land at $50 an acre. Mr. Oium markets from 100 to 125 hogs and a similar number of beef cattle each year. He has 200 hogs, mostly pure bred Poland China, 2S head draft horses and 35 head of pure bred Hereford cattle. By feeding barley to hogs he estimates that the grain nets him 80 cents a bushel, as compared with 40 cents, the average market price when delivered to the warehouse. His average crop of barley is 40 bushels to the acre, while oats average 80 bushels.

Hillsdale—Stricken with paralysis Sunday w^hile attending the funeral of Mrs. Sarah Weatherington at the United Brethren church in Waldron, Michael Gilbert died without regaining consciousness. Charlotte.—Fire caused a loss of $1,000 on the plant of the Fenn Manufacturing company of this city; fully insured. Ann Arbor.—Albert Imus of this city dropped dead on the ice at Strawberry lake, where he had been for a few days of ice fishing. Heart failure was the cause. He leaves two children, a married daughter and a son in Chicago, besides the widow, who is prostrated and under the care of a physician. Alma.—Rue Wilson, engineer at the waterworks at Shepherd, and Oreese, the proprietor of a garage there, have been arrested on a charge of looting nearly every store in that village during the last year. Much of the loot is Baid to have been recovered. Bay City.—Fire destroyed the Pine River bean elevator at Pine River, according to word received. It was recently completed and was owned by a Pinconning stock company. The loss is estimated at $7,500, partially covered by insurance. ^The origin of the fire is unknown. Grand Rapids.—George Sagen, who says he is a Buffalo, N. Y„ grocer, and a Salvation Army missionary, was arrested here and sentenced to 90 days in jail for stealing an overcoat belonging to Superior Court Clerk Alexander Krakowski. Sagen was unable to pay.$100 fine. Flint.—Mr. and Mrs. James Westfall and daughter, who live near Montrose, were forced from their home clad only in their night cloth* ing, when fire destroyed the residence with a loss of $1,000. They suffered severely from the cold while making their way to the home of a neighbor. Marshall.—While Harry Fetter was fishing through the ice on Chapin's lake, in Marengo township the ice gave away; He was rescued' in a semi-conacious condition by farmers who heard his cries for help. mm "Do you think your sister favors my suit?" "Well, it's all right if you come through, but if you don't she favors a suit for breach of promise." Not Altogether a Case of Love. Here isv a story to illustrate the point that one never can judge by appearances. "A young boy with golden curls, a regular cherub, in appearance, was on the front porch playing with a little dog and putting him through a lot of tricks. The minister passed by and was struck by the appearance of the little chap and the celerity with which the dog obeyed all his commands. " 'Ah, little boy,' he said, 'you must love your dog. Are you good to him?" "'Sure!' answered the cherub. •" 'And I suppose he loves you, too, and that's why he minds you so well?' "Well, if he didn't mind me, I'd knock his blooming block off,' was the unexpected retort of the child." Julius Caesar. Tbe almost unanimous verdict of ancient and modern times is to the effect that Julius Caesar was what Shakespeare calls him: "The foremost man of all this world." Never before or since has any one exhibited in so high a degree all the qualities of a born ruler of men. And never had any man a grander role to play. To preside over the most important crisis in the history of the most important branch of the human race was a rtask ttoat none by the" greatest of men could successfully perform. Caesar swept one obstacle after another asidef and stood at last where he meant to stand. Willi© Discovered a New Game. They had lived In a flat all of Willie's short life, so that the little boy's knowledge of fauna and flora was limited to canary birds and flower boxes; and when they went to board in the suburb where there was a largoyard, Willie very enthusiastically started in pursuit of a chicken, armed with a stick and other missiles. <f • ^ When the hostess protested to his mother, she turned from the window and said,'indulgently: "You'll have to forgive dear Willie —he doesn't know that's a chicken.

CHAPTER XII.—Continued. But such a condition was, after all, more apparent than real. In his heart Aleck knew that he did love Melanie "enough," however much that might be. He loved her enough to want, not only and not mainly, what she could give to him; but he wanted the happiness of caring for her, cherishing her, rewarding her faith with his own. She had not seen that, and It was his problem to make her see it. There was only one way. And so, in forgetting himself, forgetting his wants, his comforts, his studies and his masculine will—herein was the blossoming of Aleck's soul. Melanie instinctively felt the subtle change, and knew In her heart that Aleck had won the day, though she still treated their engagement as an open question. Aleck would read to her in his simple, unaffected manner, sometimes with Madame Reynler and Mr. Chamberlain also for audience, sometimes to her alone. And £ince they lived keenly and loved, all books spoke to them of their life or their love. A line, a phrase, a thought, would ring out of the record, and each would be glad that the other had beard that thought; sometime they would talk it all over. They learned to laugh at their own whimsical preju. dices, and then insisted on them all the harder; they learned, each from the other, some bit of robust optimism, some happiness of vision, some further reach of thought. After they had read, they would play at quoits, struggling * sternly against each other; or Chamberlain would examine Melanie in nautical lore; or together* in the evening, they would trace the constellations in the heavens. During their first week they were in the edge of a storm for a night and a day; but they put into harbor where they were comfortable and safe, and merry as larks through it all. So, day by day, Aleck hedged Melanie about with his love. Was she thoughtful? He let her take, as she would, his, thoughts, the best he could give from his mature experience. Was she gay? He liked that even better, and delighted to cap her gaiety with his own queer, whimsical drolleries. Whatever her mood, he would not let her get far from him in spirit. It was not in her heart to keep'him from her; but Aleck achieved the supermundane feat of making his influence felt most keenly when she was alone. She dwelt upon him in her thoughts more intensely than she herself knew; and that intenseness was only the reflection of his own thought for her. They had been sailing a little more than a week, changing the low, placid Connecticut fields for the rougher northern shores, going sometimes farther out to sea, but delighting most in the sweet, pine-fringed coast of Maine. There were no more large cities to visit, only small villages where fishermen gathered after their week's haul or where slow, primitive boat-building was still carried on Most of the inhabitants of the coast country appeared to be farmers as well as fishermen, even where the soil was least promising. The aspect of the shores was that of a limited but fairly prosperous agricultural community. Under the shadow of the hills were staid little homes, or fresh-painted s-mart cottages Sometimes a bold rock-bank formed the shore for miles and miles, and the hills would vanish for a space. Here and there were headlands formed by mighty boulders, against which the waves endlessly hashed and as endlessly foamed back into the sea. Such a headland loomed up on their starboard one evening when the sun was low; and as the plumes of spray from the incoming waves rose high in the air a rainbow formed itself in the fleeting mist. It was a" fairy picture, repeating itself two or three times, no more. "That's my symbol of hope,"- said Aleck quite impersonally, to anybody who chose to hear. Mr. Chamberlain turned to Aleck with his ready courtesy. "Not the only one you have received, I hope, on this charming voyage." . Madame Reynier was ready with her pleasant word. "Aren't we all symbols for you—if not of hope, then of your success as a host? We've lost our aches and our' pains, our nerves and our troubles; all gone overboard from the Sea Gull." "You're all tremendously 'good to me, I know that," said Aleck, his slow words coming with great sincerity. Melanie kept silence, but she remembered the rainbow. The headland was the landward end of a small island, one part of which was thickly wooded. A large unused house stood in a clearing, evidently once a rather pretentious summer residence, though now there were many signs of dilapidation. The pier on the beach had been almost entirely beaten down by storms, and a small, flimsy slip had taken its place, running far down into the water. A thin Hnfe of smoke rose from the chimney of one of the ^outbuildings; and while they looked and listened the raucous cry of a peacock came to them over the stijl water. Presently Chamberlain suggested: '"I feel it in my bones that there'll be lobsters over there to be had for the asking. I heard your man say he wanted lobsters, Van; and I believe I'll row over there and see. I'm feeling uncommonly fit and need some exercise." "All right, I'll go too," said Aleck. "I'll bet a bouquet that I beat you rowing over—Miss Reynier to furnish the bouquet!" was Chamberlain's next proposition. "Do you agree to that, my lady?" "And pray, where should I get a bouquet? "Oh, the next time we get on land. And we won't put up with any old bouquet of juniper bushes and rocks, either. We want a good, old-fashioned round bouquet of garden posies, with mignonette round the edge and a rose in the middle; a sure-enough token of esteem—that kind of thing, you know. Is it a bargain, Miss Reynier?" "Very well, it is a bargain," agreed Melanie; "but I shall choose bachelors' buttons!" - So they took the tender and got off, with a great show of exactness as to time and strictness of rules. Madame Reynier was to hold the watch, and Aleck was to wave a white handkerchief the minute they touched sand. Mr. Chamberlain was to give a like signal when they started back. The yacht slowed down and held her place as nearly as possible. Chamberlain pulled a great oar, and was, in fact, far superior to Aleck in point of skill; but his stroke was not well adapted to the choppy waves inshore. He had learned it on the sleepy Cam, where the long, gliding blade counts best. The men stayed ashore a long time, disappearing entirely beyond the clump of trees that screened the outbuildings: When they reappeared, an old man was with them, following them down to the boat. Then the white handkerchief appeared, and the boat started on its return. Aleck profited by Chamberlain's work, and made the boat leap forward by a shorter, almost Jerky stroke. He came back easily with five minutes to spare "Good work!" said Mr. Chamberlain. "You have me beaten, and you'll get the bachelors' buttons; but you had the tide with you." "Nonsense! I had the lobsters extra!" asserted Aleck. "Well, if you had been born an Eng. lishman. we'd make an oarsman out of you yet!" /•Huh!" said Aleck. But they had news to tell the ladies, and while they were having their dinner their thoughts were turned to another matter The island, it appeared, had for some years been abandoned by its owner, and Its only Inhabitant was a gray and grizzly old man, known to the region as the hermit His fancy was to keep a light burning always by night In the land I ward window of his/cabin, so as to j warn sailors off the dangerous headland There was no lighthouse. In the vicinity, and by a kindly consent the people on tb<* ^tehborlng islands and! on the mainland opposite encouraged his benevolent delusion, if delusion it might be called. They contrived to send him provisions at least once a week; and they had supplied him with a flag which, it was understood, he would fly in case he was in actual need. So, alone with his cow and his fowls, the old hermit spent his days, winter and summer, tending his lamp when the dark came on. Aleck and .Mr. Chamberlain had picked up some of this information at the last port which the Sea Gull made; but what was of new and real interest to them was the story which the old man told them oft a castaway on the island a few days before. "All hands had abandoned the yacht just before she went down, it appears. The owner was robbed by his own men and marooned on the hermit's island—that's the gist of it," said Aleck. "The hermit said the man wouldn't eat off his table," went on Mr. Chamberlain; "but asked him for raw eggs and ate them outdoors. Said that except when he asked for eggs he never spoke without cursing. At )east, the hermit couldn't understand what he said, so he thought it was cursing. And while.fhe old man was talking," added Chamberlain resentfully, "that blooming peacock squawked like a demon." "The yacht that went down, according to the man, was the Jeanne D'Arc," said Aleck, who had been grave enough between all their light-hearted talk. "I didn't tell you, Chamberlain, that my cousin, my old chtrm, went off quite unexpectedly on a boat called the Jeanne D'Arc. Where he went or what for, I don't know. Of course, it may have been another Jeanne D'Arc; it probably was. But it troubles me." Melanie was instantly aroused. "Oh, I had an uncanny feeling when you first mentioned the Jeanne D'Arc!" she cried. *Btot could you not find out more? What became of the man that was marooned?" "He got off the island a day or two ago," said Aleck. "The people that brought provisions to the old man took him to the mainland, to Charlesport." "The beggar left without so much as thanking the old man for his eggs," added Chamberlain. "We'll put into Charlesport tonight, if you don't mind," said Aleck. "If I can find the man that was marooned, I may be able to learn something about Jim, if he really was on the yacht. You can all go ashore, if you like. There's a big summer hotel near by, and it's a lovely country." "We'll stay wherever it's most convenient for you to have us," said Melanie, looking at Aleck, for once, with more than a friendly interest In her eyes "And perhaps I can help you, Van; two heads, you know," said Chamberlain. ' The .village still rang, if so staid a community could be said to ring, with reports of the event of the week before. Doctor Thayer had been sphinxlike, and Little Simon had been imaginative and voluble; and it would have been difficult to say which had teased the popular curiosity the more. Aleck found a tale ready for his ears about the launch and its three passengers, with many conflicting details. Some said that a great singer had been wrecked off Rank's Head, others that it was the captain and mate of the Jeanne D'Arc, others that it was a daughter of old Parson Thayer's sweetheart and two sailors that came ashore. Little or nothing was known about the island* castaway. Aleck followed the only clue he could find, thinking to get at least some inkling of the truth. CHAPTER XIII. Aleck Sees a Ghost Little Simon drove leisurely up the long, rugged hill over which Agatha and James had so recently traveled, and drew rein in the shade at a distance of a long city block from his destination. He pointed with his whip while he addressed Aleck, his solo passenger. "Yonder's the old red house, mister. The parson, he hated to have his trees gnawed, and Major here's a great horse for gnawing the bark offer trees. So I never go no nearer the house than this." "All right, Simon; you wait for me here." Aleck walked slowly along the country road, enjoying the fragrant fields, the quiet beauty of the place. It was still early ln the day, for he had lost no time in following the clues gathered from the village as to the survivors of the Jeanne D'Arc. The air was fresh and clean, with a tang of the distant salt marshes. A long row of hemlocks and Norway spruce bordered the road, and, with the aid of a stone wall, shut off from the highway a prosperous-looking vegetable gard#i*. Farther ajong a flower garden glowed in'the fantastic coloring which 'gardens acquire when planted for the love of flowers rather than for definite artistic effects. Farther still, twjK^ilac bushes stood sentinel on' either*side of a gateway; and behind, a deep green lawn lay under the light, dappled shade of tall trees. It was a lawn that spoke of many years x>f care; and in the middle of its velvet green, under the branches of two sheltering elms, stood the old red house. It looked comfortable and secure, in its homely simplicity; something to depend on in the otherwise mutable scenes of life. Aleck felt an instantaneous liking for it, and was glad that his errand, sad as it might possibly be, had yet led him thither. Long French windows in the lowei part of the house opened upon the piazza, and from the second , story ruffled white curtains fluttered to the breeze. As the shield-shaped knocker clanged dully, to Aleck's stroke, a large, melancholy hound came slowly round the corner of the house, approached the visitor with tentative mildly, lay down on the cool grass It wasn't a house to be hurried, that was plain. After a wait of Ave or ten minutes Aleck was about to knock again, when a face appeared at one of the side-lights of the door. Presently the door itself opened a few inches, and elderly spinsterhpod, wrapped in severe inquiry, looked out at him. "Can I see the lady, or either of the. gentlemen, who recently arrived here from the yacht, the Jeanne D'Arc?" Aleck's voice and manner were friendly enough to disarm suspicion itself. Sallie Kingsbury looked at him for a full second. "Come in." Aleck followed her into the wide, dim hall, and waited while she pulled down the shade of the sidelight which she had lifted for observation. Then she opened a door on the right and said: "Set down in the parlor while I go and take my salt risin's away from the stove. I ain't had time to call my soul my own since the folks came, what with callers at all times of the day." Sallie's voice was not as inhospitable as her words. She was mildly hurt and grieved, rather than offended. She disappeared and presently came back with a white apron on in place of the colored gingham she had worn before; but it is doubtful if Aleck noticed this tribute to his sex. Sallie looked withered and pinched, but more by nature" and disposition than by age. She stood with arms akimbo near the center-table, regarding Aleck with inqulsitlveness not unmixed with liking. "You can set down, sir," she said politely, "but I don't know as you can Bee any of the folks. The man, he's up-stalrs sick, clean out of his head; the young man, he's nursing him. Can't leave him alone a minute, or he'd be up and getting out the window, frail I know." Aleck listened sympathetically. "A sad case! And what is the name, If I may ask, of the young man who is so ill?" "Lor', I don't know," said 'Sallie. "The new mistress, her name's Redmond; some kin of Parson Thayer's, and she's got this house and a lot of money. The lawyer was here yesterday and got the will all fixed. She's a singer, too—one of those opery singers down below, she is." Sallie made this announcement as if she was relating a bewildering blow of Providence for which she herself was not responsible. Aleck, who began to fear that he might be the recipient of more confidences than decorum dictated, hastily proffered his next question. "Can I see the lady, Miss Redmond? Or is it Mrs. Redmond^" Sallie gave a scornful, injured sniff. "Miss Redmond, sir, though she's old enough to be a Mrs. I wouldn't so much mind her coming in here and using the parson's china that I always washed with my own hands if she was a Mrs. But what can she, an unmarried woman and an opery singer, know about Parson payer's ways and keeping this house in order, when I've been with him going on seventeen years and he took me outer the Home when I was no more than a child?" Aleck's heart would have been stone had he resisted this all but passionate plea. "You have been faithfulness Itself, I am sure. But do you think Miss Redmond would see me, at least for a few minutes?" Sallie recovered her dignity, which had been near a collapse ln tears, and assumed her official tone. "1 don't know as you can, and I don't know as you can. She's sick, too; fell overboard somehow or other, offer one of those pesky boats, and get neuralagy and I don't know what all. But I'll go and see how she's feeling." "Stay, wait a minute," said Aleck, seized with a new thought. "I'll wrlto message to Miss Redmond and then she'll know just what I want. If you'll be so good as to take it to her?" "Why, certainly, of course I will," said Sallie Kingsbury. "Only you needn't take all that trouble. I can telt her what you want myself." Sallie was one of those persons who regard the pen as the weapon of last resort, not to be used until necessity compels. But Aleck continued writing on a blank leaf of his note-book. The message was this: "Can you give me any Information concerning my cousin, James Hambieton, who was thought to be aboard the Jeanne D'Arc?" He tore the tear out, extracted a card from his poc&etbook, and ed leaf and card to Sallie. " please give those to Miss Hedrno::'!; Sallie wiped her hands, which v perfectly clean, on her white ai-OJf took the card and bit of paper and dt> parted, sniffing audibly. When h'je re turned, it was to say, with a slightly more interested air, that Miss fted* mond wished to see him up-stulre She stood at the bottom of the wide stairway and pointed to a corner of the upper floor. "She's in there—room on the right!" and so she stalked off to the kitchen. • . • > Aleck Van Camp sought the region' Indicated by Sallie's gaunt finger with some misgivinfes; but tie was presently guided further by a clear voice. "Come in this way, Mr. Van Camp, if you please!" The voice led him to an open door, before which he stood, looking into a large, old-fashioned bedroom, from whose windows the white curtains fluttered in the breeze. Miss Redmond was propped up with pillows on a horsehair-covered lounge, which stood along the foot of« a monstrous bed She was clothed in some sort of wool wrapper, and over her feet was thrown a faded traveling rUg. By her sidf stood a chair on which were writing materials, Aleck's note and card, and a half-written letter. Agatha eat up as she greeted Aleck. wags-of-the tail, and after sniffing'» "I am glad to see you, Mr. Van Camp. Will you come in? I ask your pardon for not coming downstairs to see you, but I have been ill, and am not strong yet." She was about to motion Aleck to a chair, but stopped in the midst of her speech, arrested by his expression. Aleck stood rooted to the doorsill, with a look of surprise on his face which amounted to actual amazement. Thus apparently startled out of himself, he regarded Agatha earnestly. "Will you come in?" Agatha repeated at last. "Pardon me," he said finally in his precise drawl, "but I confess to being startled. You—you bear such an extraordinary resemblance to some one I know, that I thought it must really be she. for a moment." Agatha smiled faintly. "You looked as if you had seen a ghost." Aleck gazed at her again, a long, scrutinizing look. "It does make one feel queer, you know." "But now that you are assured that I'm not a ghost, will you sit down? That chair by the window, please. And I can't tell you how glad I am to see you; for James Hambieton, your cousin, if he is your cousin, is here In this house, and he is ill—very ill indeed." Aleck's nonchalance had already disappeared, in the series of Burprises* but at Agatha's words a flush of pleasure and relief overspread his face. He Btrode quickly over toward Agatha's couch. "Oh, I say—old Jim—I thought, I was afraid—" Agatha was touched by the evidences of hlB emotion, and her voice became very gentle. "I fancy it is the same—James Hambieton of Lynn?" Aleck nodded and she went on: "That's what he told me, the night we were wrecked." Agatha looked at Aleck, as if she would discover whether he were trust worthy or not, before giving him more of her story. Presently she contlnued: "He's a very brave, a very wonderful man. He jumped overboard to save me, after I fell from the ladder; and then they left us and we swam ashore. But long before we got there I fainted, and he brought me In, all the way, though he was nearly dead of exhaustion, himself. He had hemorrhage from overexertion, and afterward a chill. And now there is fever." Agatha's voice was trembling. Aleck watched her as she told her tale, the flush of happiness and joy still lighting up his face. As she finished relating the meager facts which to her denoted so many heart-throbs, a sob drowned her voice. As Aleck followed tho story, his own eyes wavered. "That's Jim, down to the ground. Good old boy!" he said. There was a silence for a minute, then he heard Agatha's voice, grown little and faint. "If he should die—!" Aleck, still standing by Agatha's couch. suddenly shook himself. "Where is he? Can I see him now?" Agatha got up slowly and led the way down the hall, pointing to a door that stood ajar. It was evident that she was weak. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Cast-Iron Magnets. The difficulty of making good castiron permanent magnets has been overcome by a very simple process. The iron casting, after being machined to the required dimensions, is heated in a gas furnace until the iron can just be handled without distortion through softening. It is then plunged ln a chemical bath, which removes superfluous materials and leaves the iron clean. Finally, it is magnetized by means of electric coils. In strength of field, cast-iron magnets are from ten to fifteen per cent, inferior to those of steel, but they are equal in magnetic permanence, and cost, for intricate patterns, only onehalf as much as steel magnets.

A bright young lady tells how she came to be acutely sensitive as to the taste of coffee: "My health had been very poor for several years," she says. "I loved coffee and drank it for breakfast, but only learned by accident, as it were, that it was the cause of the constant* dreadful headaches from which I suf* fered every day, and of the nervousness that drove sleep from my pillow and so deranged my stomach that everything I ate gave me acute pais. (Tea is just as injurious, because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "My condition finally got so serious that 1 was advised by my doctor to go to a hospital. There they gave me what I supposed was coffee, and 1 thought it was the best I ever drank, but I have since learned it wa» Postum. I gained rapidly and came home ln four weeks. "Somehow the coffee we used at home didn't taste right when I got back. I tried various kinds, but none tasted as good as that I drank In the hospital, and all brought back the dreadful headaches and the 'sick-all* over' feeling. "One day I got a package of Postum, and the first taste of it I took,, 1 said 'that's the good coffee we had tn the hospital.' I have drank It ever since, and eat Grape-Nuts for ray breakfast.

Madison C. Peter*, New York A hopeful sign for the movement back to the soil is that scientific agriculture is beginning to be taught in the public schools. The proposition is now _ pending in congress to fend teachers to the farmers from the nirric-ultural schools. Iu 1910 we had 50,000,000 acres in wheat and produced 095,000,000 bushels. If we had succeeded in splitting the diflVrencc between Germany's twenty-eight bushels to the acre and ({real Britain's thirty-three bushels to the acre, we should have had a crop of owr a billion and a half bushels. The call today is for intelligent young men to go on the farm and do their >hare in building up the country's wealth. Our prosperity depends upon the upbuilding of the farm and th*1 advancement of agriculture. The ro-t of living will be lowered by intensive farming, intensive dairying, in!ensi\e trucking and specializing in up-to-date methods. Do not go to soim* wondrously way off place for cheap lands. Better hire or buy an acre or two for $500 near the market than fifty acres at $10 an acre far from the market. The new discovery in agriculture is throe cows to an acre, rather than three acres to the cow, $1,000 worth of garden truck to the acre and not ten acres to the $100. Some Philadelphia school boys cultivated a vacant plot 10x10, sold $5.GO in vegetables—$2,000 an acre. Japan lives off little land—two or three acres to a family. Denmark and France are prosperous countries; because of prosperous little farms. Young men, got .a piece of" land ! Study farming!

At last I have learned of mv mistake, for mistake it. surelv was. I am one who is found useful as a receptacle for all the snappish and sarcastic remarks by members of the family who have been busy entertaining and acting agreeable to people outside of the family. And it has at last dawned on me that there are thousands of us who are used to keep the mental balance for.those of the younger generation who overdraw on the stock of agreeableness while engaged in laudable outside undertakings. The disagreeable sides of their natures must have an outlet and who is better fitted to receive and bear all the abuse that has been generating below the surface than the old man ? We old men really fill a great want. That a prophet is not without honor, save in his own immediate neck of woods, is also demonstrated by the fact that many a man, who does not seem to shine in his own home* is known among his friends as a brilliant conversationalist. A Texas woman has trimmed a hat with $663 in bills and $380 in gold. Now she doesn't dare wear her $943 hat, but she has the distinction of owning the first hat that was ever worth one-sixteenth of tho material used in it. You can judge somewhat of a man's character by noticing where he puts his hen house—near his own dwelling and away from his neighbor's, or away from his own and near his neighbor's, observes the Youth's Companion.

But probably a real American tramp could do it on less. EATTLE, Wash—Sitting a cannon as she would have sat a horse, the white figure of a slender girl was silhouetted against the vivid blue of the Pacific sky. Beneath her around her were ali the paraphernalia of war. Sailors polishing brass on the warship's deck looked up at her adoringly. Officers in blue and gold uniforms lingered at her side. The gray-haired admiral vied with the callow smoothcheeked lieutenants in homage to her, She seemed as much at home on board the lead-colored cruiser as she would have been in a rose drawing room. A girl on a warship in midocean! Was ever a ship's crew so privileged before? Mascots there have been aplenty, and few are the cruisers, that cannot boast a goat, a cat or a dog. But a girl! A real, live, fluffy-haired, blue-eyed girl in a white lawn frock, to go and come as she pleased all vover the floating fortress, to loll in a stoamer chair in the shadow of the turrets, to use the big guns as a perch! Those gallant sailormen looked on the cannon as the throne of their princess, It 1b true there was another woman on board, but the other was different in a way—no less charming, no less entitled to a sailor's adoration, but just a little more remote. The other woman was Mrs. Philander Knox, wife of the secretary of state, and those sailors looked upon her with a certain amount of awe; the girl was Miss Priscilla Eilicott, the eighteen-year-old daughter of Capt. John Morris Eilicott, commander, of the II. S. S. Maryland, and there was not a man on that ship who would not have gone overboard in'full uniform to pick up her glove. True Daughter of the Navy. For Miss Priscilla was In a way one of themselves. A daughter of the navy, many of these officers had known her from childhood. She had come on board her father's ship at almost every port ef the Pacific ocean from Panama to Behrtng straits. But this was the first time in the memory of any of them that she or any other girl had actually lived on board, dining In the admiral's cabin, sleeping in a white stateroom of her own dancing on the quarterdeck under the moonlight, darning stockings on her perch upon the long barrel of a cannonone of the Bhip's company. Truly, they were a privileged crew, and well they knew it! And when some wag of a sailor, in a bos'n's chair, painting over the side, would lift his voice and sing the song from "Pinafore" about a gallant captain's daughter, a ripple of girlish laughter would be wafted out to the dolphins playing leap-frog under the bows. How it happened that the armored cruiser Maryland had a girl on board on her voyage from Honolulu to Seattle last fall Ib a charming story of how a woman's scissors may be more potent than a sailors cutlass j r e d tape and how it is tied and untied, to cut a Gordian knot of naval red tape.

By GEORGE PATTILIO. J UiWI ti 111111111111111-111 "i Minim • ii in inn While we dawdled in the shade cast by the wagon, the Bantys told us their history. It was that of restless wanderers who constitute a:''nWer^saBing: caravan from as far east as Louisiana, wending westward and north through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico aud Arizona. They find a virgin country, break it, and nature heaps her bounties in their laps. Then comes a bad year, and they have made ao provision; or the spirit of the rover, that will not die, wakes once more; again their wagons take their whining way through the wilderness. Surely the goal will prove fabulously rich; always that hope—it never bura» out. The memory of starvation cannot dim; hardships and distance do but fan it; it fires their souls as the lure of gold tempts prospectors. And on their heels comes the plodding farmer, who goes patiently to work to> wrest a living out of the claimsthey have abandoned, and wakes, some morning, to find that civilizationis knocking at his door and he is rich. Banty had tried raising maize close to the nations. No; the climate did not agree with him and his wife. "I liked it, Ed," she/protested. "But it wasn't doing you no gopd, Goldie," he said. "I coujrtjje^chat easy." He had nothing to say against the climate. It was good enough climate,, but its effects were far from satisfactory. In consequence, they had disposed of their acres to migrate to .the Panhandle. All that was years ago. "That land is selling _at $20 an acr& now,' I observed. "Twenty dollars. I swan! Do yon hear that, girl? This genTman says* they're paying $20 an acre for that plains land," said Banty, his eyes glittering. "And we done sold ours for $3. If we'd only waited!" "Yes/' his wife sighed; "it's too bad. And we done lost that $1,900 in New Mexico, you recollect, Ed?" Indeed, he did. Banty wagged his head over the inscrutable ways of the jade Fortune, and murmured, "Well, well. Who'd have thought it?" This was a worn-out tale to us, oneof little meaning. Nesters came, and nesters went. If they did not go soonenough we sometimes furnished the impetus; for, of course, the southwest was intended by the Creator to be a cow country, and it is an iniquity that agriculturists should win it for corn and cotton and other mainstays of life. Banty had fenced a quarter section near El Capitan mountains, and, with this as a base of operations, had put his nestegg in sheep. But the sheep had dived over a cliff on a night of rocking storm, and there was none to prove what, or who, propelled them. Much good it would have done him could he have proved it. So once more he had gathered his scant belongings into a wagon to set out for that promised land. "This is the last time; yes, sir." cried Banty, in rhis excited cracked tones. "Where we're going now they say it's a regular Garden of Eden, like what the Good Book tells about. All you have for to do is to stir the ground some and you've got a crop. Six cuttings of alfalfa in a year; yes, sir." "And don't forget how calm and peaceful it all is. Ed," Goldie spoke up. "Don't you mind how Brother Ducey said they were all so friendly? He said no man's hand was lifted against his neighbor, Brother Ducey did." "Huh-huh," Dave grunted. He had given the recital his most earnest attention, and now he shook his head reprovingly. "That's Just the way it is every time* —the way you done, Itfs what I've-' been telling these boys here for ten years," ihe declared. "Birds of a feather j^tber no moss," "What's that you say, Mr. Dave?" "A rolling stone gathers no feathers,'* Dave corrected sternly. "You all know what I mean."—McClure's Magazine. Only Perfect Gem. The pearl is the only gem not needing the hand of man to bring it toperfection, says the Gentlewoman. History affords- ample evidence of the intense fascination. It has always exercised among' the people of every age. It is the oldest object of personal adornment. The records of the Romans, Babylonians, Persians and Egyptains make mention of it. doming to more recent epochs, we find that Philip II., King of Spain, paid $200,000 for a single pearl known as "Peregrina." Found in Panama, it was pear shaped and weighed }?> v caratB. Another king of Spain, Philip• IV., purchased one weighing 126 carats. It was brought from India. France owns some exquisite examples, but the biggest pearl known isthat which was once the property of the banker, Henry Philip Hope. Cylindrical in form, it is two inches long, four and a half inches in circumference at one end and three and a half inches at .the other. It weighs 1,800 grains and is valued at $3,000,000.

He was six years old, and I never think of him without that jingle coming to mind: •"ShL«»it tlwe asW dileliaed cbheofkoerde h(ishe syi smteris,s ed "AWinfT'Ht eh'fle a lcwutaey, s huep's toon tlryic skisx.

The Frenchman had gone, and 1T»e "benevolent old gentleman. The cr«ywd •was thinning out. The young man at :xny left rose and I rose also. We both •stared thoughtfully at the hat-rack. There hung two hats; an opera hat and a dilapidated old stovepipe. The young fellow reached up and. quite naturally, eelected the opera hat. He glanced fato it, and immediately .a -wrinkle of annoyance darkened fcSs forow. He foeld the hat toward me. *1b this yours?" he asked. 1 I looked j t the label. "No." The wrinkle of annoyance eprang from his brow «to mine. My opera hat had cost me /eight dollars. The ypung fellow toughed rather lamely. "Do <r»u iive in iCew York?" he asked. I nodded. "So do I," he oontinued, Mand yet it 1s evident that both of its have been jneatly caught." He thought for a mo- *nent, then brightened. "HI tell you w^hat; let'* match £o| the good one." * I gased indignantly at the rusty tftovepipe. "Doner0 said I. 1 lost; I knew that I should.; and «the young fellow walked off with the good hat Aflgrily, I strode up <o the cashter's j desk and explained the situation, leaving my addTess and the number of any apartment; my name wasn't necessary. I soon arrived at my apartments, And sot Into a smoking-jacket [ picked trp Blacks^one and tamed to his "promissory notes.*' I ha* two or three out myself. It was nine o'clock •when the hatt-boy*s bell rang, and I placed my ear to the tube. A gentleman wished to see tne in regard to a lost hat "Send him tip, James; send him up!" I bawled down the tuhe. Visions of tho club returned, and J tossed Blackstone into a comer. Presently there came a tap on the <door, and I flung it wide. But my visitor was not the benevolent old gentleman. He was the Frenchman whose absinthe had offendetfjne. He glanced at the slip of paper in his hand. "I have zee honaire to address zee —ah—gentleman in numbaire six?" ; "I live here." "Delight'! We have meexed zee hats, I have zee r-r-regret. Ees thees your hat?" He held out, for my inspection, an ofcera hat. "I am so ab- •ent-mlnd'—what you call deestrait?" •—•affably. I took the hr.t, which at first glance J thought to be mine, ard went over to the rack, taking dows the old stovepipe. And now there was a woman in the ease! I wiped the perspiration from my brow and wondered what 1 should say to her. A woman. . . . By Jove! the sister of the mischievous boy! Old Chittenden must have told her where he had gone, and as he hasn't shown up, she's worried. It must be a tremendously important letter to cause all this hubbub. So I laid aside my bat and waited. Soon there camera gentle tapping. Certainly the young woman had abundant pluck. 1 approached the door quickly, and flung it open. Tbe Girl herself stood on the threshold, and we stared at each other with bewildered eyes! Yes, sir. This is my apartment You have come in regard to a hat?" "Yes, sir. My name is Chittenden. Our hats got mixe4^uj> at Martin's this evening; my fault, as usual. I am always doing something absurd, my memory is so bad. When I discovered my mistake I was calling on the family of a client with whom I had spent most of the afternoon. I missed some valuable papers, legal documents. I believed as usual that I had forgotten to take them with me. They were nowhere to be found at the house. My client has a very mischievous son, and It seems that he stuffed the papers behind the inside band of my hat. With them there was a letter. I have had two very great scares. A great deal of trouble would ensue if the papers were lost. I just telephoned that I had located the hat." He Jaughed pleasantly. Good heavens! here was a howdydo. "My dear Mr. Chittenden, there has been a great confusion," I faltered. "I had your hat, but—but you have come too late." "Too late?*' he roared, or I should say, to be exact shouted. "Yes, sir." "What have you done with it ?" "Not five- minutes ago I gave it to a Frenchman who seemed to recognize it as hifij.. It was the Frenchman, if you will remember, who sat near your table in the cafe." "And this hat isn't yours, then?"— helplessly. "Tins" was a flat-brimmed hat. of the Paris boulevards, the father of all stovepipe hats, dear to the Frenchman's heart, "Candidly, now." paid I with a. bit of excusable impatience, *'do I look like a man who would wear a hat like that?" He surveyed me miserably through his eye-glasses. "No. I can't say that you do. But what in the world am I to do?" He mopped his brow in the ecstasy of anguish. "The bat must be found. Tne\ legal parers could be replaced, but . . . Ycu see, sir, that boy ptit a private letter of his sister's in the band qf that hat. and it must be recovered at all hazards." *T am very sorry, sir.** "But what shall I dor' 4'I do not see what can be done save Star you to leave word at the cafe. The Frenchman is doubtless a frequenter, and may easily be found. If you bfld ecwae a few moments sooner. . . With a gurgle of dismay he b>l le ig me w3tfc a, half-finished sentence hanging on my llrs and the Frenchman's chapeau hanging on my nngei». And ir.y hat; w'..ere was my hat? So the boy had put a letter of his sister's In the band of the , hat, I mused. How like her kid brother! It seemed that more or less families had Toddy-One-Boys to look after. Pshaw! what a muddle because a man couldn't keep his thoughts from wool-gathering! Fool that { was! t rushed over to the table. The Frenchman had left his card, and f had forgotten all about It And I hadn't asked the benevolent old gentleman where he lived. Tho Frenchman's eard read: "M. do Beausire, No. Washington Place." I decided to go myself to the address, state the matter to Monsieur de Beausire, and rescue the letter. I knew all about these^ Toddy-One-Boys, and I might be doing some girl a signal service. ' 1 So I reluctantly.*got into my coat again, drew on a top-coat, and put on the hat that fitted me. I had scarcely drawn my stick from tbe umbrellajar when the bell rang once again* "Hello!" T called down the tube. Why couldn't they let me be? "Lady wants to see you, sir." "A lady!" "Yes, sir. A real lady; 1-a-rl-y. She says she's come to see the gentleman Jn number six about,a plug hat. What's the graft, anyway?" "A plug hat!" ''Yes, sir; a plug bat She seems n trit. anxious. Shall I send her up? She's a peach." "Yes, send her up." I answered feebly enough. V CHAPTER II. Sfye was the most exquisite creature in all the wide world; and here she was, within reach of my hungry arms! "You?" she cried, stepping back, one hand at her throat and the other against the jamb of the door. Dumb as ever was loot's wife (after the turning-point In ber career), I stood and stared and admired. "I did not expect . . . that Is, only tbe number of the apartment was given," she stammered. "I . . ." Then her slender figure straightened, and with an effort she subdued the fright and dismay, .which had evidently seized her! "Have you Mr. Chittenden's hat?" "Mr. Chittenden's hat?" I repeated, with a tingling in my throat similar to that when you hit your elbow smartly on a sharp corner. "Mr. Chittenden's hat?" "Can't you say anything more than that?"—impatiently. "Was it your letter he was seeking?" I cried, all eagerness and excitement as this one* sane thought entered my head. f "Did be tell you that there was a letter in it?"—scornfully. "Yes," guiltily. Heaven only knows why 1 should have had any sense of guilt "Give it to me at once"—imperatively. "The hat or the letter?" Truly, I did not know what I was about. Only one thing was plain to my confused mind, and that was the knowledge "Oh, it is easily to be seen that you do not trust me." I was utterly discouraged. "I did not imply that," with the least bit. of softening. "Certainly I would trust you. But " "Well?"—as laughingly as I could. "1 must be the ono to take out that letter,"—decidedly, - "I offer to bring you the hat untouched," I replied. "t insist oil going." "Very well; we shall go together; under no other circumstances. This is a common courtesy that I would show to & perfect stranger," I put' on my derby, took up tho Frenchman's card and tile, and bowed her gra#el#^into tbe main hallway. We did hot speak on the way down to tho street. We entered the cab In silence, and went rumbling off southwest. When the monotony became positively unbearable I spoke. "I regret to force myself upon you." No reply. "It must be a very important letter." "To do one but myself,"—with extreme frigidity. "His father ought to wring his neck,"—-thinking of Toddy-One-Boy. "Sir, he is my brother!" "I beg your pardon." It seemed that I wasn't getting on very well. We bumped across the Broadway tracks. Once or twice dur shoulders touched, and the thrill I experienced was as painful as it was rapturous. What was in a letter that she should go to this extreme to recall it? A heat-flash of jealousy went over me. She had written to some other fellow; for there always is some other fellow, hang him! . . . And then a grand idea r.am* intt my erstwhile stupid head. Here she was, alone with me in a cab. it was the opportunity of a lifetime. I could force her to listen to my explanation. "I received your note," I began. "It was cruel and without justice." Her chin went up a degree. "Tbe worst criminal is not condemned without a hearing, and I have had none." No perceptible movement. "We are none of us infallible in keeping appointments. We.are liable to make mistakes occasionally. Had I ••Ki that I wanted to put my arms around her and carry her far, far away from Tortdy-One-JSoy. "Are you mad, to anger me in this fashion?" she said, bailing her little gloved hands wrathfuily. Had there been real lightning in her eyes I'd have been dead this l<?ng while. "Do you dare believe that I knew you lived ia this apartment?" "I . . . haven't the hat" "You dared to search it?"—drawing reelf up to a supreme height, which was something less than flve-feet-two I became angry, and somehow found myself. "I never pry into other people's affairs. You are the last person I expected to see this night" "Will you answer & Bingle question? I promise not to intrude further upon your time, which, doubtless., Is very valuable. Have you either the hat or the letter?" "Neither. I knew nothing about any letter till Mr. Chittenden came. But he came too late." "Too late?*— In an agonized whisper. "Yes, too !ater, I had. unfortunately, given his hat to another gentleman who made a trifling mistake In thinking it to be his owri " Sudoenly my manners returned to me. "Will you come in?" "Come in? No! You have given tho hat to another man? A trifling mistake! He calls it a trifling mistake!"— addressing the heavens* obscured though they were by the thickness of several ceilings. "Oh, what shall I do?" She began to wring her hands, and when a woman docs that what earthly hope ia there for the man who looks on? "Don't do that!" F implored. "I'll find the hat. The gentleman left me his eard. With your permission I will go at once in search of him." "I have a cab outside. Give me the address." "I refu^ to permit you to go nlone." "You have absolutely nothing to say in regard to where I shall or shall not go." "In this one instance. I shall withhold the address." How her eyes blazed! known that Tuesday night was the night of the dance I'd have crossed to .Jersey in a rowboat but what I'd have k*pt my engagement." The chin remained precipitously inclined. "i am poor, and the case involved some of my bread and butter. The work'was done at ten, and even then I did not discover that I had in ar way-affronted you.

It's the only way I can maintain my Individuality, my self-respect and independence. My uncle has often ex pressed his desire to make me a hand some allowance, but what would be the use of all that . . . now?"—bit terly. Tho chin moved a little. It was too dark to see what this movement expressed. "It seems that I am only a very unfortunate fellow." "You had given me your promise." "f know it" "Not that I cared"—with cat-like cruelty; "but I lost the last train out while waiting for you. Not even a note to warn me! Not the slightest chance to find an escort! When a man gives bis promise to a lady it doea not seem, possible that he could forget it . . . if he cared to keep it" "I tell you honestly that I mixed the dates." How weak my excuses seemed, now that they had passed my Hps! "You are sure that you mixed nothing else?"—ironically. (She afterward apologized for this.) "It appears that it would liftve been better to come alone." "I regret that I did not give you the address." "It is not too late." "I never retreat from any position I have taken." "Indeed?"

"He has In hfs possession a hat which does not belong to him." "Good gracious, he hasn't been *• ing? I don't believe"—mak'ng as though to shut tbe door. This was too much, and I laughed. "No, my girl; he hasn't been stealing. But, being absent-minded; he has taken another man's hat, and I am bringing his home in hopes of getting the one he took by mistake." "Oh!" And the maid laughed shrilly. I held out the hat. "My land! that's his hat, sure enough. I was wondering what made him look so funny when he went out." "Where has he gone?" came sharply over my shoulder. "if you will wait," paid the maid good-naturedly, "1 will inquire." We waited. So far as I, was concerned, I hoped he was miles away, and that' we might go on riding for hours and hours. The maid returned soon. 'lie has gone to meet the French i consul at Mouqnin's." "Which one?" I asked. "There are two, one dofwn and one up-town." "I'm sure I don't know. You can leave the bat and your card." "Thank you: we shrill retain the hat. If we find monsieur h*> will need it." And tho only girl In the world and myself re-entered the cab. "This is terrible!" she murmured as wc drove off. "ft might h<-> worse." I replied, thinking of the probable long ride with her: perhaps the last I should ever take! "How could it be!" I had nothing to offer, and subsided for a space. "If we. should not. find him "I'll sit on his front steps all night . . . Forgive me if 1 sound flippant; but I mean it." "We shall continue the search together,"— wearily. It waii not far up-town to the restaurant, and we made good time. "Would you know him if you saw him?" she asked as we loft, tho cab. "Not the least doubt of it,"—confidently. She sighed, and togelhrr we entered the restaurant. It was full of theater-going people, music and the hum of voices. We must have created a smalt sensation, wandering from table to tablo, from room to room, the girl with a look of dread and weariness on her face, and I with the Frenchman's hat grasped firmly in my handj and my brows scowling. t If I hadn't been in love it would have been a fine comedy. Once I surprised her looking toward the corner table near the orchestra. How many joyous Sunday dinners we had had there! Heigh-ho! "It that ho?" she whispered, clutching my arm of a sudden, her gaze directed to a near-by table. T looked and shook my head. "We may have to go down-town. . . . No! as I live, there he is now!" — joyfully. "Where?" There was half a sob in her throat. "The table by the short flight of stairs . - . the man just lighting the cigarette. I'll go alone." "But I can not s'and here nlone in the middle of the floor . . . " I called a waiter. "Give this lady a chair for a moment;" and I dropped a coin in his palm.

Poor fooll When I was at work your face was always crossing the page or peering uf from the margins. I never saw a fine painting that I did not. think of you, or heard a fine piece of music that t did not think of your voice" There was a long interval of silence; block after block went by. I never once looked at her. "If I had been rich I should have put it to tbe touch some time ago; but my poverty seems to have been fortunate; it has saved me a refusal.

"You dined after the theater that night with a comic-opera singer.

I alighted, and sho silently permitted me to assist her down. I expected her immediately to mount the steps. Instead, she heattated, the knuckle of a forefinger against her Bps, and assumed tho thoughtful pose of one who cose templates two courses. "Have you a stamp?" she aaked finally. "A stamp?"—blankly.

How many school children, coming directly from the exercises celebrating the birthday of the father of our country, would resognize the immortal Washington if he^stood on the schoolhouse steps and gave them greeting as they went out? Every one," answers the public. Not one," say experts- in Washingtonia. The public, secure in its knowledge of the portraits accepted as portraying the features of Washington, is confident that it knows Washington too well to make any mistake. The historians, knowing of what the public is ignorant, calmly aver that not one American patriot in a thousand knows what the first president looked like in life. For the accepted picture of Washington, the fa- •mous Stuart portrait which has been handed •down through the generations as being a lifelike representation of Washington lineaments, which has been reproduced hundreds of times, and from which Americans have learned to know, or think they know, what he looked like, hae been exposed and held up to criticism and branded as everything but a resemblance of George Washington. The public, which for 110 years has looked upon this face depicted in books, magazines, on flags, •everywhere tfiat the face of the father of the country has been reproduced, never has seen a faithful representation of what Washington looked like in the flesh. Trusting little school children, gazing upon the. classic countenance on the schoolroom wall, have been basely deceived. Washington did not look like that, or Anything near it, it is said. This picture, say the researchers, is far removed from the true Washington. The public, they say, doesn't know the father of the cpuntry and wouldn't recognize him if they met him face to face on the street. The how and the whyfore of this startling announcement comes through the disclosure;of a real Washington, a portrait quite different from the accepted one. This portrait, painted by the great Washington painter, Stuart, in 1795, is declared to be the one that shows the man as he teally was, depicting his features and characteristics with the sternest fidelity and truthfulness, and making a likeness so true that it should have been handed down through the ages as a record of what Washington looked like. It was accepted as such by Mni. George Washington and by the entire household at Mount Vernon, Surely, say the historians, his own wife and family ought to know what Washington looked like! But tjxis portrait, the "true Washington," is not the one that the public -has been led to believe ia George Washington. The commonly accepted portrait, the one which bangs in duplicate on the walls of every schoolroom in the land, aid which Americans confidently point out as a picture of the father of their country, is quite another picture. It also was painted by Stuart, in 1796, but the magic ftond that had made the painter and subject at oase with each other was gone, and Stuart turned from his work in disgust, declaring that the picture lacked the animation that characterized Washington, and was never completed. Yet >0i8 Is the picture which has been accept *sd as (absolutely correct. Mrs Washington didn't like it>; but the public and Washington's old soldiers liked it. It was their idea of what they wanted their hero to look like. Hence its rapid growth into popularity, and the practical eclipse of the other portrait, declared to be the true Washington. Stuart, it Is well known, made three great a'» tempts to transfer the being of Washington to 'Canvas. The first was, so the painter declared, a failure, because the confidence necessary between subject and artist was lacking. The second Was a success. Stuart learned that he could get his famous sitter interested in "talking ttorse," and sbv fie pointed him as he really was. .TThe third 'attempt resulted in the conventional "household Washington/' It lacked, said Mrs. ^kehington, trutlt It lacked, said Stuart, the ani* xnstlon: characteristic of the general. But it made |: its way Into popularity. Hence, say historians, /'the public knows not the country's own father. * p a i n t i n g s from life by different artists, a full decimo of statues, and hundreds of pen and shadow pictures are in the collection of Washington faces now scattered throughout the libraries, museums, and private colections of this country," writes Dr. Bernard J. Cigrand, director of the Chicago public library: "Besides tjiese varied originals have been the foundation of many hundreds-of famous copies, not counting the nearly 400 different engravings formed from these sketches from life—in all making the largest assortment of likenesses made of any human being and representing the progress of ^he art of painting and sculpture, as well as engraving, since the year 1772 down to this present day. "The entire time which he must have spent before the critical eyes of these famous artists, If summed up, would doubtless reach at least a full month, and while his personality has been caught in Its great varieties of moods, yet the complex physiognomy has been deduced to five basic faces which are standard as relates to age, character and physical formation. "The first among these Washington faces is the one produced by Charles Wilson Peale, who at the invitation of Washington called at Mount Vernon and painted the first portrait bf the eminent Virginian; thiB was begun on Ma/ 20, 1772, when Washington was 40 years of age. This picture is especially Interesting since it Is the earliest reproduction of the face and form of Washington He paid Peale about $100, and during the remainder of his career Peale painted eight more from life, the dates being 1772, '77, '79, '84, '85, '87, '94, and '95. These studies are practically all recognized as worthy of the artist and the man. "The war for independence was just ended and the treaty of peace signed when the state of Virginia engaged in the discussion as to how it could befittingly recognize the public service of Washington, one of Its native and loyal sons. After a variety of propositions had been disposed of the legislature finally voted that a statue of him should be erected in his honor. "Benjamin Harrison was the governor at the time and was personally intrusted bjr the legislature to execute the wishes of the resolution. He immediately wrote to Franklin and Jefferson, who were in Paris, to engage the best sculptor of all Europe; the governor also called attention to the fact that he had ordered Mr. Peale to make a full-sized painting of the general, and this he would forward as a model for the sculptor. Franklin and Jefferson were not long Jn selecting the artist. He was a Frenchman by the name of Jean Antoine Houdon. "When he was informed of the oil painting project he immediately objected, saying that if Virginia wanted a living likeness of Washington he must have his own way as to arriving at the product; that would mean that he muBt cross the Atlantic, visit with Washington, and carefully model the face from the llying, take impressions and casts, and laboring Itlong exact rather than Impressional lines. This was quickly agreed to by Franklin and Jefferson, but the terms of tho affair were difficult to arrange. "The short, industrious artist was in no great hurry to leave gay Paris for the wilds of Virginia, and between illness and rush of work it was about one year before he set sail. He perchance came across with Franklin, who, on arriving, wrote a letter of introduction to Washington "The Houdon statue has been accepted as the nearest true physical reproduction we possess of the great commander, even Peale and the critical Stuart admit this, and the Virginians never grow tired of whrft Stuart said: "It is the head of Washington par excellence " Additional testimony of the truthfulness * of the Houdon statue dates to I860-(Feb. 22), when the congressional committee, after diligent and lengthy discussion, accepted it as the standard Washington for busts, medals and coins. "The military Washington we get in the Jol*n Trumbull^picture, which has caught the daring and dashing element of the war general. Trumbull did everything with the greatest possible exactness, and every detail in the painting is from lite and from nature. The horse and the background are the result of standings and poses and represent a world of detail. When it was completed in 1790 Washington was in New YerV and the executive mansion was the scene of an interesting pictorial arrangement at the suggesting of Washington. A large delegation of Indian chiefs were visiting him andy-anxious to see what they thought of the picture, he had the artist set it in a large room opposite the entrance and so arranged as to give it a panoramic setting. Then he had the artist take the Indians through and, to the amazement of the general, who was unobserved, the Indians believed it to be the real Washington, and only after they were allowed to go forth and examine it did they desist in paying homage to the painting. "The Trumbull picture is indeed a great production, and while it has always been recognized as the military spirit, strange to say the portrait remained unengraved for nearly a century —the first time it was illustrated in 1883. "The last picture made from life was the work of the Frenchman, Charles B. Memin. He was the inventor of the physionotrace, by which, through mechanical arrangement, the accurate shape of the head and the outlines of the face were registered, and the artist only supplied the life or human touch. The original is lost, but a good copy remains. It is pronounced a good Washington and is famous because of it being1 the last likeness," Y O U W H O H A V E T E M P E R A M E N T Make Sure It Isn't lit Temper, Egotism, or, Worse, Selfishness. Temperament, as applied to individual peculiarities, was a word not in the old-fashioned family vucabulary. Helen Coale Crew, writing In Lippincott, comments: "Time was—and that not many decades ago— when we all had temperament of one sort or another. I might have a gloomy temperament, you a genial one, our friend a phlegmatic one; and the kindest, simplest soul among us was as temperamental as his nervous and complex brother. Nowadays we apply the word to put a single class of individuals, and the test of temperament seems to be that a man shall always do the unexpected, and shall be^e^tre^ieTy^rffi* cult to live with. And as in Attic days there were but Greeks and barbarians, today there are but the temperamental and the commonplace "Fortunately, an overwhelming proportion of us are commonplace; for no family could, with pride and difficulty, support more than one temperamental member. It is the commonplace who bear the brunt of living, offering themselves as buffers between those favored creatures of temperament and the daily friction of family life We must needs be tender of them, for it is of ,^hem that geniuses are made. 'Be careful of Edward's feelings,' is the constant warning of an anxious mother. 'He has so much temperament and is so sensitive!' And Edward continues to go about with an ill-balanced chip on his shoulder which his brothers and sisters dare not knock off, though among themselves they are well aware that knocking about is what he needs above all else, J If ^Very individual of temperament became a .full-fledged genius, no amount of forbearance would sjijem too great a price to pay on the part of the ^payers. Unfortunately, many fall just enough short of this desired culmination to keep us in doubt all the time. And he who falls short of ripening into the genius he has for years expected to be is likely not to ripen in any direction, but to harden into a disappointed, exacting creatures, riding a still larerer and mor? d«votprf group of buffers to save his tender mental shins ''At the risk of even losing a few geniuses on* of the world, would it not be better to turn over all temperamental children to their common pi arr> brothers and sisters without reservation? Children aro wise creatures, even the dullest of th*>m Their cruelties are. in the long run, kind. Thev will replace the aggressive chips upon Edward's shoulder with the burden that belongs there— th^at of serving as he would be served and enduring as he would be endured. And if, with this fair play all around, he blossoms into a genius we are only too thankful to rise up and call him blessed!" >iiMii»HM>inHHMi»niminimiiiiuiMmim>iiiinmmiiii HMtUAIIKLIItltUCMOIMHMUOULIH-U3H lHPIIIMEURH UCIKEIMNMTH nilHM Avertable Preparation for As • simitating iheFoodamfBegillating the Stomachs andBowels of INFAN TS / 1 H 1L D K E N T o r Infants a n d C h i l d r e n .

Tea plantations in Ceylon have been In existence only 30 years, yet the annual exports of black tea amount to nearly!fc20,000,000 in value. Formerly coffee constituted Ceylon's main industry, but after a disease of the plant in 1880 its cultivation was discontim ued. Many planters, however, recouped themselves by tea and rubber. Thanks chiefly to the former article, the island's bid prosperity revived. Today Ceylon boasts 1,500 plantations. Plant necessary to tea cultivation is costly but very labor-saving. The work itself is not hard; only the climate makes it irksome. What is wanted mainly of employes is to watch machinery and feed it from the stock of tea leaves awaiting treat-!} ment. The workers are not Sing: halese, but natives, of southern India. A laborer's wages vary from eight to sixteen cents a. day, while a foreman's .salary averages $200 a month.—Harper's Weekly. Unpicked Grapes Go to the Poor.

She was picking the grapes which had been left on the vines in her yfneyard after the fall gathering, when the policeman told her that she was committing an offense against the law, as all grapes left on the vines after the harvest were the property of the poor.

All Druggists, M U N Y 0 N 5 P A W - P A W P I L L S The democrat state convention went through all its deliberations, in Lansing, in perfect harmony. In the matter of resolutions, the convention practically stood pat on its declaration before the November election, and indorsed in every detail the inaugural message of Gov. Ferris. The party is on record as favoring the short ballot. It goes exactly the same length as the republicans in indorsing the initiative and referendum and recall, stopping short of the recall of judges, and, where the republicans contented themselves with declaring in favor of a change in the method of selecting state central committees and national committeemen, the democrats come out flatfootedly for* direst election of these party ofheers by the people. %* The platform as adopted declares for civil service, but opposes the republican plan, now before the legislature, that would perpetuate the present republican state employes in their places. No mention of national issues' was made in the platform, but the delegates left no doubt as to their stand between the two factions who are threatening to war against each other in Washington. Every mention of the name of William Jennings Bryan, progressive leader, was cheered to the echo, the applause for the commoner far exceeding that accorded even President Wilson. Not a single contest for nomination developed to the voting stage in the convention. Alfred E. Souter, of Shelby, was nominated for regent of the university, to oppose Frank H. Begole, of Marquette, but Souter's name was withdrawn, as the roll call was stated. Souter was nominated later as a candidate for member of the state board of. agriculture. Bath Tub Men Found Guilty.

Poetry and Music. If I had to live my life again I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week; for perhaps the parts of my brain now atrophied would thus have been kept active through use. The loss of these tastes is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character, by enfeebling the emotional part of our nature.— Charles Darwin. i a CHILD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS 632 N. 5th St., Terre Haute, Ind.-~ "My little nephew, a boy of four years, had a breaking out on his face. It was little red spots at first, then he would rub and scratch and water blisters would form, and wherever the water would run another would come until his face was covered with them. He would cry and fret. His mother got some medicine, but it did not do any good. He would scream and cry and say It hurt. We hardly knew him, his litle face was all red spots and blisters. So I begged him to let me put some Cuticura Ointment on them. The next morning I made a strong soap suds with Cuticura Soap and washed his face in the warm suds. The little blisters burst by pressing the cloth on them. After I had his face ,washed, I put the Cuticura Ointment on and in a short time his little face was all red and dry.

What They Trusted. Having ascertained his weight on the railway station weighing machine the man said to the porter: "Isn't it a lack of business foresight to put one of those machines that distributes prizes to persons who guess their own weight correctly, ban,g np against other scales that they could get weighed on before hand, and thus guess on a sure thing? You must have great faith in human nature, you?" "Oh, no, sir," said the porter, "but we have in the machine."

Packing Food in Ferns. In Germany the use of ferns is coming into more and more favor for packing food which is transported either short or long distances. The practice •became common in England before it gained equal vogue in Germany, and the results are said to be excellent, especially in shipping fresh fruit, butter, flsh and other food products which require unusual care. fell Where He Got It.

The mail clerks aud rural carriers ate almost tickled to death. An echo comes from Washington: ' Weight of parcel post packages will probably soon be extended considerably beyond e l e v e n pounds.*' There is a difference between the public spirited man and the man who is all fpr self. One is a good man for the town, tbe other for himself. One says, "We are the candy kid;" the other says, "I am the big noise." And sometimes- the " I " controls the "we." Representative Oatlin has introduced a bill in the legislature which provides for the redisricting of the state into 13 congressional districts, the sixth district to be composed of Livingston, Ingham, Jackson, Washtenaw and Shiawasse counties. Ray West of Bridgewater had a cow sick with what he supposed to be indigestion and as she got no better he was obliged to kill her.

A bill has been introduced in the legislature for an entirely new primary law which eliminates the party enrollment entirely and provides for a secret ballot at the primaries. The bill may need some remodeling, but it will no doubt find favor with tbe majority of the voters. A l l mortgages are practically exempt from taxation this year, as on nine tenths of them the tax was paid last year-for life of mortgage. How any honest legislator can oppose the repeal of such a law is a mystery. The fact is this: The home worth $1,000 will pay about $17 tax, The man with a $1,000 mortgage pays no tax.—Ex, — — *• M c C l e e r W . J .

A traveling man called at one of the stores in this village one day last week and upon displaying samples of his goods was dumbfounded when the merchant offered to sell the drummer the same goods at a lower rate than the traveler offered to sell the Trier-, chant.

M r , and Mrs. Steadman have had an extensive experience in the hotel business and are well qualified to please their patrons and every Pinckneyite should make it their duty to speak a good word for them whenever the opportunity is offered. D E C R E A S E In C a t t l e a n d S h e e p , I n - c r e a s e i n H o r s e s a n d M u l e s By recent statistics that are authentic it is shown that there is another decrease in live stock during the year. The figures given out by the , government bureau shows a decrease in milch cows of over one per cent, other cattle 3.3 per cent, sheep 6.5 per cent, while horses and mules have a small increase in number. The statistics would indicate that almost any kind of live stock will be a good proposition for the Michigan farmer to invest in and would be a very profitable proposition that should demand their attention. The country is rapidly increasing in population and the consumption must necessarily increase.

Dr. Baird of Howell examined the body and he claims that it was understood by the prosecuting attorney that he was to have $25.00 for his services. He presented his bill for that amount to the board of supervisors who cut it to $10, allowing it for that amount. He has refused to accept the amount aud has employed Shields & Shields to bring suit against the board to compel them to allow the bill at the figures as presented. As the board of supervisors have been cutting all physicians' bills this wilt no doubt be made a test case. 1 C .

M O R E A T L A N T I C V ^ L I N E R S R E Q U I R E D CONGESTION ON EXISTING STEAMSHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANADIAN 1 MM1G RATI ON. It Is reported that eight new Trans- Atlantic liners are under construction for the exclusive use of the Canadian Trade. These are beinfe built,by the White Star, Canadian Pacific. and Cunard Companies. \ • .-V The liners.to be built for the White Star are to be of the same type as the Laurentic and Majestic, and will replace the Canada and Teutonic*' The Cunard Line's new steamer, Asctania, has already completed successfuliy her maiden voyage from England to Montreal, and her sister ship will be launched early next year. It is predicted that the Canadian Northern will not be slow in following, the example of the other big concerns, as it is a matter of common belief that Canada, more than any other in the world, will be the country of the future, and the best field for investment by shipping interests. An official of one of the companies! already building steamers for this* trade told the American yesterday that the ideal steamer for this service Is the two-cabin boat, having accommodation for second-class and steer* age passengers only. "We do not expect that the $5,000 cabin de luxe 'class will travel between Canada and England very extensively/* he said, "but the business* that is to be obtained there will be immensely lucrative, and for the next ten years the eyes of the shipping world will be riveted on Canada. The Panama Canal, undoubtedly will receive a lot of attention, but the business in that route will be nothing compared with the Canadian trade for the immediate future. Panama will develop and become bigger in the years to come, but at the present we are most concerned with the tremendous tide of immigration that is being diverted from the United States to the Dominion. "The farm land of the vast North West is the attraction, and while this flood of immigration is at its height, the Canadian Government exercises a strict censorship over the class of immigrants admitted. In this way they are drawing their future citizens from the Northern countries and have shown an unwelcome face to the people of Southern Europe."—Advertisement. SY "MOONLIGHT.

"I can't go in—I can't bear to see him so ill," she whispered; and as Aleck looked at her before entering the sick-room, he saw that her eyes were filled with tears. Agatha went back to her couch, feeling that the heavens had opened. Here t was a friend come to her from she knew not where, whose right it was to assume responsibility for the sick ma- He was kind and good, and he loved her rescuer with the boyish devotion of their school-days. He would surely* help; he would work with her to keep death away. Whatever love and professional skill could do, should be done; there had been no question as to that, of course, from the beginning. But here was some one who would double, yes, mora than double her own efforts; some one who was strong and well and capable. Her heart was thankful. Before Aleck returned from the ^sick-room, Doctor Thayer's step sounded on the stairs, followed by the mildly complaining voice of Sallie Kingsbury. Presently the two men were in a low-voiced conference in the hall. Agatha waited while they talked, feeling grateful afresh that Doctor Thayer's grim professional wisdom was to Jje reinforced by Mr. Van Camp's resources. When the doctor entered Agatha's room, her face had almost the natural flush of health. "Ah, Miss Agatha Redmond"—the doctor continued frequently to address her by her full name, half in affectionate deference and half with some dry sense of humor peculiar to himself—"Miss Agatha Redmond, so you're beginning to pick up! A good i thing, too; for I don't want two patients in one house like the one out yonder. He's a very sick man, Miss Agatha." "I know, doctor. I have seen him grow worse, hour by hour, even since r we came. What can be done?" "He needs special nursing now, and your man in there will be worn out presently." "Oh, that can be managed. Send to Portland, to Boston, or somewhere. We can get a nurse here soon. Do not spare any trouble, doctor. I can arrange—" , Doctor Thayer squared himself and passed slowly up and down Agatha's room. He did not reply at once, and when he did, It was with one of his characteristic turns toward an ap- - parently irrelevant topic. ) "Have you seen Sister Susan?" he Inquired, stopping by the side of Agatha's couch and looking down on her with his shrewd gaze. It was a needless Question, for he knew that Agatha had not seen Mrs. Stoddard. She had been too weak and 111 to see anybody. Agatha shook her head. "Well, Miss Agatha Redmond, Susan's the nurse we need for that young gentleman over there. It's con. stant care he must have now, day and night; and if he gets well, it will be «ood nursing that (foes it. There isn't a nurse in this country like Susan, when she once takes hold of a case. That Mr. Hand in there is all right, but he can't sit up much longer night and day, as he has been doing. And he isn't a woman. Don't know why it is, but the Lord seems bent on throwing sick men into women's bands—as if they weren't more than a. match for us when we're well!" Agatha's*humorous smile rewarded the doctor's grim comments, if that was what ha wanted. "No, doctor," she said, with a fleeting touch of her old lightness, "we're never a match for you. We may entertain you Or nurse you or feed you, or possibly once in a century or two inspire you; but we're never a match for you." "For which Heaven be praised!" ejaculated the doctor fervently. Agatha watched him as he fumbled nervously about the room or clasped his hands behind him under his long coat-tails. The greenish-black frockcoat hung untidily upon him, and his white fringe of hair was anything but smooth. She perceived that something other than medical problems troubled him. "Would your sister—would Mrs. Stoddard—be willing to come here to take care of Mr. Hambieton?" she ventured. "Ask me that," snapped the doctor, "when no man on earth could tell whether she'll come or not. She says she won't. She's hurt and she's outraged; or at least she thinks she ia. But if you coujd get her to think that it was her duty to take care of that poor boy in there, she'd come fast enough." Agatha was puzzled. She felt as if there were a dozen ways to turn and only one way that would lead her aright; and she could not find the clue to that one right way. At last she attacked the doctor boldly. "Tell me, Doctor Thayer," she said earnestly, "just what it is that causes Mrs. Stoddard to feel hurt and out raged. Is it Bimply because I have inherited the money and the house? She can not possibly know anything about me personally." The old doctor thrust his under jaw out more belligerently than ever, while turning his answer mind. He took two room before stoppi Agatha's side and lo her. i "She says it Isn't that it's the sHght Her her for leaving the p home, out of tbe famil thing; but that Isn't the orthodox, you know, v and she has a prejudic profession—serving Satan, she it. She thinks that's what actresses and opera singers do, though how she knows anything about it, 1 don't see." The grim smile shone in the doctor's eyes even while he looked, half anxiously, to see how Agatha was taking his explanation of Mrs. Stoddard's attitude. Agatha meditated a moment. "If it's merely a prejudice in the abstract against my being an opera 'singer, I think she will overcome that. Besides, Mr. Hambieton is neither an actor nor an opera singer; he isn't •serving Satan.'" "Well—" the doctor hesitated, and then went on hastily, with a great show of irritation, "Susan's a little set in her views. She disapproves of the way you came here; says you shouldn't have been out in a boat with two men, and that it's a judgment for sin, your being drowned, or next door to it. I'm only saying this, my dear Miss Agatha, to explain to you why Susan—" But Agatha was enlightened at last, and roused sufficient to cause two red spots, brighter than they had ever been in health, to' burn on her cheeks. She sat up very straight, facing Doctor Thayer's worried gaze, and interrupted him in tones ringing with anger. "Do you mean to tell me, Doctor Thayer, that your sister, the sister of my mother's lifelong friend, sits ln her houBe and Imagines scandalous stories about me, when she knows nothing at all about the facts or about me? That she thinks I was out in a boat alone with two men? That she is mean enough to condemn me without knowing the first thing about this awful accident? Oh, I have no words!" And Agatha covered her burning face with her hands, unable, by mere speech, 'to express her outraged feelings Doctor Thayer edged uneasHy about Agatha's couch, with a manner resembling that of a whipped dog "Why, my dear Miss Agatha, Susan will come round in time. She's not so bad. really. She'll come round in time, only just now we haven't any time to spare. Don't feel so badly; Susan Is too set in her views—" "'Set!'" cried Agatha. "She's a horrid, unchristian woman!" "Oh, no," remonstrated the doctor "Susan's all right, when you once get used to her. She's a trifle old-fashioned in her^views—" But Agatha was not listening to the doctor's feeble justification of Susan She was thinking, ha/d ."Doctor Thayer," she urged, "do you want that woman to come here to • - 'to care of Mr Hambieton? Isn't Uiere any one else in this whole countryside who can nurse a sick man? Why, I can do it myself; or Mr. Van Camp, bis cousin, could do it. Why should you want her, of all people, when she feels so toward us?" The moment his professional judgment came into question Doctor Thayer slipped out from the cloud of embarrassment which had engulfed him in his recent conversation, and assumed the authoritative voice that Agatha had first heard. "My dear Miss Agatha Redmond, that is foolish talk. You are half sick, even now; and it-jjequires a strong person, with no nerves, to do what I desire done. Mr. Van Camp may be his cousin, but the chances are that he wouldn't know a bromide from a blister; and good nurses don't grow on bushes In Illon, nor in Charlesport, either. There isn't one to be had, so far as I know, and we can't wait to send to Augusta or Portland. The next few days, especially the next twenty-four hours, are critical." Agatha listened intently, and a growing resolution shone ln her eyes. "Would Mrs. Stoddard come, if it were not for what you said—about me?" she asked. "The Lord only knows, but I think she .would," replied the poor, harasses doctor. "She's always been a regular Dorcas ln this neighborhood." "Dorcas!" cried Agatha, her anger again flaring up. "I should say Sap- Dhira." "Oh, now, Susan isn't so bad, when you once know her," urged the doctor. Agatha got up and went to the window, trailing her traveling rug after her. "She shall come—I'll bring her. And sometime she shalf mend her words about me—but that can wait. If she will only help to save James Hambleton's life now! Where does she live?" Suddenly, as she stood at the window, she saw an opportunity. "There's Little Simon down there now under the trees; and his buggy must be somewhere near. Will you stay here, Doctor Thayer, with Mr. Hambieton, while I go to see your sister?" "Hadn't I better drive you over to see Susan myself?" feebly suggested the doctor. 0 "No, I'll go alone." There was anger, determination, gunpowder in Agatha's voice. "But mind you, don't offer her any money," the doctor warned, as he watched her go down the hall and disappear for an instant in the bedroom where James Hambieton lay. She came out almost immediately and without a word descended the wide stairway, opened tlje dining-room doer, and called softly to Sallie Kingsbury. Doctor Thayer returned to the sickroom Ten minutes later he heard the wheels of Little Simon's buggy rolling rapidly up the road ia the direction of Susan Stoddard's place. t CHAPTER XIV. Susan-Stoddard's Prayer. There was a wide porch, spotlessly scrubbed, along the front of the house, and two hydrangeas blooming gorgeously In tubs, one on either side of the walk. The house looked new and modern, shiny with paint and furnished with all the conveniences offered by the relentless progress of our day. Little Simon had informed Agatha, during their short drive, that Deacon Stoddard had achieved this "residence" shortly before his death; and his tone implied that it was the pride of the town, its real treasure. Even to Agatha's absorbed and preoccupied mind it presented a striking contrast to the old red house, which had received her so graciously into its spacious comfort. She marveled that anything so fresh and modish as the house before her could have come into being in the old town. It was next to a certainty that there was a model laundry with set tubs beyond the kitchen, and equally sure that no old horsehair ibunge subtly invited the wearied traveler to rest. A cool draft came through ifxe screen door. Within, it was cleaner than anything Agatha had ever seen. The stair rail glistened, the polished floors shone. A neat bouquet of sweet peas stood exactly in the center of a snow-white doily, which was exactly in the middle of a shiny;^round table. The very door-mat was brand new; Agatha would never have thought of wiping her shoes on it. Agatha's ring was answered by a half-grown girl, who looked scared whei: fche saw a stranger at the door. Agatha walked into the parlor, tn spite of the girl's hesitation in inviting bur, and directed her to say to Mrs. Stoddard that Miss Redmond, from the, uiu ku noutse, wisned p&i ucuiuny 10 see her The girl's face assumed an expression of intelligent and ecstatic curiosity. ... "Oh!" she breathed. Then, ."She's putting up plums, but she can come out in a few minutes." She could not go without lingering to look at Agatha, her wide-eyed gaze taking note of her hair, her dress, her hands, her face. As Agatha became conscious of the ingenuous inspection to which she was subjected, she smiled at the girl «-one* of her old, radiant, friendly smiles "Run now, and tell Mrs. Stoddard, there's a good child! And sometime you must come to see me at thfc red house; will you?" The girl's face lighted up af if the sun had come through a cloud. She smiled at Agatha in return, with a "Yes" under her breath. Thus are slaves made. Left alone in the cool, dim jparlor, so orderly and spotless, Agatha had a presentiment of the prejudice of class and of religion against which she was about to throw herself. Susan Stoddard's fanaticism was not merely that of an individual; it represented the stored-up strength of hardy, conscience- driven generations. The Stoddards -might build themselves houses with model laundries, but they did not thereby transfer their real treasure from the incorruptible kingdom. If they were not ruled by aesthetic ideals, neither were they governed by thoughts of worldly display. This fragrant, clean room bespoke character and family history. Agatha found herself absently looking down at a white wax cross, entwined with wax flowers, standing under a glass on the center-table. It was a strange piece of handicraft. Its whiteness was suggestive of death, not life, and the curving leaves and petals, through which the vital sap once flowed, were beautiful no longer, now that their day of tender freshness was so inappropriately prolonged. As Agatha, with mind aloof, wondered vaguely at the laborious patience exhibited in the work, her eye caught sight of an inscription molded in the wax pedestal: "brother." Her mind was sharply brought back from the impersonal region of speculation. What she saw was not merely a sentimental, misguided attempt at art; it was Susan Stoddard's memorial of her brother, Hercules Thayer—the man who had so unexpectedly influenced Agatha's own life. To Susan Stoddard this wax cross was the symbol of the companionship of childhood, and of all the sweet and bitter involved in the inexplicable bond of blood relationship. Agatha felt moro kindly toward her characteristic friendly smile as she heard slow, steady steps coming down the hall. The eyes that returned Agatha's look were not smiling, though they did not look unkind. They gazed, without embarrassment, as without pride, Into Agatha's face, as if they would probe at once to tho covered springs of action. Mrs. Stoddard was a thickset woman, rather short, looking toward sixty, with iron-gray hair parted in the middle and drawn back in an old-fashioned, pretty way. It was to the credit of Mrs. Stoddard's breeding that she took no notice of Agatha's peculiar dress, unsulted as it was to any place but the bedroom, even in the morning. Mrs. Stoddard herself was neat as a pin Jn a cotton gown made for utility, not beauty. She stood for an instant with her clear, untroubled gaze full upon Agatha, then drew forward a chair from its mathematical position against the wall. When she spoke, her voice was a surprise, it was so low and deep, with a resonance like that of the 'cello. It was not the voice of a young woman; it was, \rather, a rare gift of age, telling how beautiful an old woman's speech could be. Moreover, it carried refinement of birth and culture, a beauty of phrase and enunciation, which would have marked her with distinction anywhere. "How do ySk do, Miss Redmond?" Agatha, standing by the table with the cross, made no movement toward the chair. She was not come face to face with Mrs. Stoddard for the purpose of social visitation, but because, in the warfare of life, she had been sent to the enemy'with a message. That, at least, was Agatha's point of view. Officially, she was come to plead with Mrs. Stoddard; personally, she was hot and resentful at her unjust words. Her reply to her hostess* greeting wa« brief and her attitude unbending. "I have come to ask you, Mrs. StSddard," Agatha began, though to her chagrin, she found her voice was unsteady—" I have come personally to ask you, Mrs. Stoddard, if Vou will help us in caring for our friend, who is ill Your'brother, Doctor Thayer, wishes it. It is a case of life and death, maybe; and skilful nursing is difficult toi find." Agatha's hand, that rested on the table, was trembling by the time she finished her speech; she was vividly conscious of the panic that had come upon her nervqs at a fresh realization of the wall of defense and resistance which she was attempting to assail. It spoke to her from Mrs. Stoddard's calm, other-worldly eyes, from her serene, deep voice. "No, Miss Redmond, that work is not for me." "But please, Mrs Stoddard, will you not reconsider your decision? It is not for myselfl I ask. but for another —one who is suffering." Mrs. Stoddard's gaze went past Agatha and rested on the whito cross with the inscription, "Brother." She slowly shook her head, saying again, "No, that work is not for me. The L6rd does not call me there." Aft the two women stood there, with luc i.udui cross between tljein, eaci. with her heart's burden of griefs convictions and resentments, each recoiled, sensitively, from the other's touch But life and the burden life imposes were too strong. "How can you say, Mrs. Stoddard, 'that work is not for me,' when there is suffering you can relieve, sickness that you can cure? I am asking a hard thing, I know; but we will help to make it as easy as possible for you, and we are in great need." "Should the servants of the Lord falter in doing his work?" Mrs. Stoddard's voice intoned reverently, while she looked at Agatha with her sincere eyes. "No. He gives strength to perform bis commands. But sickness and sorrow and death are on every hard; to some it is appointed for a moment's trial, to others it is the wages of sin: We can not alter the Lord's decrees." Agatha stared at the rapt speaker with amazed eyes, and presently the anger she had felt at Doctor Thayer's words rose again within her breast, doubly strong. The doctor had given but a feeble version of the judgment; here was the real voice hurling anathema, as did the prophets of old. But even as she listened, she gathered all her force to combat this sword of the spirit which had so suddenly risen against her. "You are a hard and unjust woman, to talk of the 'wages of sin.' What do you know of my life, or of him who is sick over at the red house? Who are you, to sit in judgment upon us?" "I am the humblest of his servants," replied Susan Stoddard, and there was no shadow of hypocrisy in her tones. She went on, almost sorrowfully: "But we are sent to serve and obey. •Keep ye separate and apart from the children of this world,' is his commandment, and I have no choice but to obey. Besides," and she looked up fearlessly into Agatha's face, "we do know about you. It is spoken of by all how you follow a wicked and worldly profession. You can't touch pitch and not be defiled. The temple must be purged and emptied of worldliness before Christ can come in." Agatha was baffled by the very simplicity and directness of Mrs. Stoddard's words, even though she felt her own texts might easily be turned against her. But Bhe had no heart for argument, even if it would lead her to verbal, triumph over her companion. Instinctively she felt that not thus was Mrs. Stoddard to be won. "Whatever you may think about me or about my profession, Mrs. Stoddard," she said, "you must believe because of this mute, fantastic me- ,m e, whe.n I say that Mr. Hambieton 1 M . „,„„fV, • : , „. , , . , t morial.

He is not an opera singer—of that I am convinced—" Susan Stoddard here interpolated a stern "Don't you know?" "Listen, Mrs. Stoddard!" cried Agatha in desperation. "When the yacht, the Jeanne D'Arc, began to sink, there was panic and fear everywhere. While I was climbing down into one of the smaller boats, the rope broke, and I fell into the water. I should.have drowned, then and there, if it had not been for this man; for all the rest of the ship's load Jumped into the boats and rowed away to save themselves. He helped me to come ashore, after I had become exhausted by swimming. He is ill and near to death, because he risked his life to save mine. Is not that a heaven-inspired act?" Mrs. Stoddard's eyes glistened at Agatha's tale, which had at last got behind the older woman's armor. But her next attack took a form that Agatha had not, .foreseen. In hor reverent voice, so suited to exhortation, she dc rnanded: "And what will you do with your life, now that you have been saved by the hand of God? Will you dedicate it tc him. whose child you are?" Agatha, chafing in her heart, paused a moment before she answered: "My life has not been without its tests of faith and of conscience, Mrs Stoddard; and who of us does not wish, with the deepest yearning, to know the right and to do it?" "Knowledge comes from the Lord," came Mrs. Stoddard's words, like an antiphonal response in the litany. "My way has been different from yours; and it is a way that would be difficult for you to understand, possibly. But you shall not condemn me without reason." "Are you going to marry that man you have been living with these many days9" was the next stem inquiry. (TO BE CONTINUED.) College Girls. First of all the girl who goes to college must remember that the initial impression that she makes determines very largely her happiness or unhappy ness for the flrst few weeks Above all things, she should not arrive in an elaborately trimmed suit, a beplumed hat and pumps. Such things may be suitable for rare occasions at home, but they find practically no place in the outdoor wardrobe of the wHl bred college woman The plain tailored suit cut on good lines, a tailored hat to match and neat shoes create an impression of quiet good taste and appropriateness. This keynote of simplicity should be recognized throughout her wardrobe Elaborate chiffon or net waists and fussy neckwear are of little use. for a college girl's room was never designed for clothes which require careful treatment/and protection from dust.—Leslie's. local Political Styles.

M1LNER , Wide publicity in news columns and editorial discussion was given io a recent dispatch from London announcing that the Lancet, from investigations, had found uthe cigarette tho least harmful form of smoking/' From the complete articles in-the great Viedioai journal this is found to be but part of the truth. .The Lancet statement was that the. smoker probably consumes less nicotine in using cigarettes than in cigars or pipes. It also states that too much emphasis has been put vifkm nicotine and too little upon other'hurtful substances. \Yhe Lancet does not take back a single warning of the evils of cigarette smoking, and especially for boys. Charles B. Towns, regarded as high authority on the question of narcotics, had a notable article in the Century magazine on •fTho Injury of Tobacco." He sums up his opinion in the statement: "I consider that cigarette smoking is the greatest vice devastating humanity today, because it is doing more than any other vice to deteriorate the race." Mr. Towns represented our government in the wort of driving out opium smoking from the Philippines and lias studied the question of narcotics and drugs in the Orient, China has made great advance in driving out the use of opium. A great tobacco company (American and British) spent a large amount of money in sending out salesmen and demonstrators through China to show the people how to smoke cigarettes. Mr. Towns estimates that one-half the cigarette smoking of the world is in China and that the cigarette evil is even worse than that of opium. S c a l e o f T i p s i s F i x e d b y U n c l e S a m By C. P. STEWART That the tip is an established institution in the United States is conceded by that serious agency of government, the federal treasury department. It has promulgated an order specspecifying the tips that its employees may include in their traveling expenses while transacting public business. Some may be inclined io accept the government's scale of tips, as they accept the government's weights and measures, as establishing the standard. The treasury department of a national administration that has tried to make a specialty of efficiency and economy permits an employee in New York or Chicago to tip the persons who bring his meals to him not more than 50 cents a day. He may spend a like sum for this service in any one of a score of other cities of considerable size, the names of which are specified. For the services of sleeping-car porters he may spend 25 cents a day and ojf chair-car porters 15 cents a day. If he crosses the Atlantic ocean lie may use $10 for stewards' fees; going to or from Hawaii lie may give the stewards $15; going to or from Panama or Porto Rico, $10. He is not allowed to give baggagemen or porters more than 25 cents on the arrival at or departure from hotels, wharves, railroad stations and such places. Tipping is a serious matter to many an American of small resources. Not a few persons wish they had the federal treasury behind them to stand the expense of tips when they travel. It may comfort thcijy.-fromowbat to knew that the treasury itself parrels out the tips with a considerable degree of prudence. q O f f i c e r s W i l l A v o i d E x c e s s i n D r i n k i n g By E. W. RICK ARD, Washington, D.C. Drinking to excess is likely to be avoided by oliicers and men of the 'United States army hereafter. If in this fashion they bring themselves to the point where they are unfit for duty they will forfeit their pay for tho period during which they are incapacitated. This is the substance of an order by General Wood, chief of FUrtf, pursuant to a provision in the army appropriation measure inserted, at the request ol army authorities. The order applies also to the use of drugs and to diseases due to misconduct. Heretofore in the cast) of enlisted men thev have been fined by suminary court-martial for drunkenness which disabled them for duty. In aggravated cases .officers have been brought to court-martial and have suffered loss of rank or dismissal from the service. Where no public scandal has been attached, and whore the offenses have not been public or flagrant, no punishment has followed. An officer disabled from duty through any of his vices has been treated in the military hospitals and his absence from duty excused as a matter of course. By the new regulation the army will be brought more nearly to the situation which prevails in civil life. Modern standards in railroading, for example, are approaching the point where harmful indulgences either on or off duty are regarded as cause for dismissal. $ •—• -v. q O u t d o o r W o r k e r s R e - m a i n I d l e i n W i n t e r By J.

When winter closes down , .they are out of jobs in perhaps a majority of cases. They therefore form • 4#i$tribiiting cause to the problem of unemployment. jSouc of them earns enough to save funds that will tide him over tt&til spring. In consequence cities add to the number of those who will ' tttoft probably become public charges. Philadelphia recently came t6 the point where it had to dismiss 500 laborers of this character. The director of public works, however, hesi- <tated to take.the step. So he conceived the idea of writing a letter to : various large business establishments, stating the case and urging that, 'possible, they make use of such of the men as might be fitted for the- £fr$$ of these private employers. f '' ..; Jin these times of prosperity the demand for unskilled laborers may such that other cities, too, might successfully take the same course, Qwt. only in fairness to the men but as a method of self-protection. i f If ^ f t . s s » H : •:: After ten years in competition with the automobile the horse has y *' * " ' sed in value 44 per cent., and is still holding his own along the M i e y of life.

B u r s t u p o n t h e Vans G a g V & r l d a s " I h e M c t e e t C a r m e n " A d v e n t u r e r NEW YORK—Every young woman of moderate circumstances— at least ever^ one who is equipped with any degree of imagination— dreams and hopes and wishes that some day she may be a grand lady, with every luxury she can ask. She wants to have princes and millionaires at her feet. She wants to be sought after, admired. These dreams don't come true, at least not often. The Cinderellas usually are limited to the confines of the covers of a hook, writes Charles Somerville in the World of this city. Mary Jane Reinseimer, once of Relgelsville, Pa., is an exception. In a country hotel in Easton* Pa., 12 years ago, Mary Jane was a waitress. She was a pretty Dutch girl, eighteen years old. She had crude charm, and her wiluwas sharp. "I'm going to get out of this," she determined. "I'm going to be somebody. I'm pretty; men like me; women who are no more attractive than I have these things. Why shouldn't I have them?" Determined to Gain Her End. The difference between Mary Jane and the others was that Mary Jane didn't- Btop when she made her wish. She kept on, working with might and main to make it come true, and it didn't matter to her how she gained the end. Her code was not that countenanced by society, but Mary Jane knew little of codes, cared little for them. She wanted to conquer. She did conqSer. Now she is thirty years old, and all things she wished for are hers. It remains to count the cost. She says she ia happy. Perhaps she tells tho truth. Had Mary Jane lived in the days of the old French courts she would have been a du Barry or a Madame Recamier or a Pompadour. As it is, Mary Jane is mistress of a mansion in the fashionable Rue des Belles Feuilles of Paris; she is a scintillant participant in the brilliant conversations ln European salons; she rides in motor cars, wears- jewels of enormous value and her gowns are among those that set the Paris fashions. And always with her woman's vanity aflush is the satisfaction of a long list of admirers—indeed, adorers! Mary Jane Reinseimer of Reigelsville, Pa., that was; Mine. Marie van Reinseimer Barnes-Creel of New York and Paris that is! And all in 12 years has been enacted this amazing transition! Modern /magic—surely. At the age of eighteen she arrived smiling and confident for her conquest of New York; with startling success she carried her campaign to Europe; she jilted a duke, danced with the Baron de Rothschild of Prance, and had a score or more of New^York notables, young and old, on the strings of ber enchantment. She won George Enrico Creel, a Chilian multi-millionaire, for a husband. Captivated Walter de Mumm. She held Walter de Mumm, scion of the "champagne" de Mumms of Germany, for three years in abject thraldom against the fury of his family, and at his last faint effort to break away from her lotus flower influence answered the attempt imperfectly with the blaze of a revolver—and three days later he, from his hospital cot, pleaded with her with bouquets and billetdoux for reconciliation! Paris, which loves to give sobriquets, has Jong called ber the "Midget Carmen." But this is only a recognition of her beauty and impulsiveness. Otherwise it is incomplete. She Is fascinating but not sloe-eyed; she Is temptatious but far, very far, from being brazen. The little ex-waitress has more the manner of a marchioness of the decorative days of the Petit Trianon. The answer to the question as to whether she has beauty, wit and daring is best given by a chronological consideration of her achievements. First Appearance in New York. It is a little vague—her advent to New York. The story is that she went from Easton to Allen town, Pa. Allentown is prettier than Pittsburg, and quite as important. ' After Allentown it was New York. She dabbled in chorus work—dabbled daintily. But she was not tb be found ever in the gay restaurant-conservatories of the hoi polloi. The little waitress aimed with finer discernment for the bull's-eye contained within the inner circle of the conservative risque. Her fame spread in a certain set— the young chaps who own or whose "guv-nora" own those six-cylindered .....,. ,:<f:<V\. L Mme. Marie van Reinseimer Barnes-Creel, Once a Waitress. French cars and who drive them in what appears to be a determined effort to leave the earth. It was, indeed, a heavily gilt-edged coterie that knew her at all when she was in New York. Then Paris—her speech grown soft, her grammar faultless, her tongue familiar to the interspersions of I^encn phrases, her manner delectable, her smile a subtle witchery. It was as "Mrs. Barnes of New York" that she first became known abroad. In Paris Baron de Rothschild gave elaborate parties in her honor; scions of eminent New York families were everywhere conspicuous in their attendance; wherever she flitted in Europe for *a time one especially gilded Gothamite followed like a needle its magnet. Then—gloom immeasurable for all save Georges Enrico Creel, a Chilian of great wealth. Georges Enrico Creel had captured "Mrs. Barnes of New York" for a bride! Mesdames of France with convent-bred daughters had rigorously, ingeniously played for Georges Enrico ('reel. Not only was he wealthy, but of distinguished family— brother of a former minister of the United States from Mexico, who afterward became governor of the state of Chihuahua. Not only was he wealthy and distinguished, but he was very good looking. Creel Family In Opposition. The Creel family did not like the marriage at all. Primarily, they objected because the bride was not a Catholic. She promptly became one and there w*as a church marriage in New York. A handsome boy baby rewarded the union. • But next—Senora Creel was found standing on the deck of an outgoing that he mu the iu flu en, fen.

She had decided, most reluctantly she averred, that she would have to separate from the "handsomest man in the world." She would, In France, seek a legal parting. His Chilian ways were not her ways. Spanish ideas of married life, with the ultra circumspection laid down for a wife's conduct, savored greatly of the life of a house canary, she staged. She went to Paris and again, while her attorneys were busying the French courts with her separation, her salon became as one of the Bourbon regime —artiBts, poets, statesmen and the modern element—the millionaires of commerce. Walter de Munjm appeared. An extraordinary tall and slender youth is de Mumm, who, despite the general idea this side of the water concerning him, is not French. The family is German. Of course the scion of the champagne family has,a big fortune —one at his immediate disposal and more to come. The rumor that de. Mumm would wad Senora Creel was offset by the fact that as a Catholic she could not divorce Creel of Chill. There was also the marked opposition of the de Mumm family. In America With de Mumm. In October, 1911, she appeared on the passenger list of an ocean liner as Mile. Marie Van Reinseimer. De Mumm took passage on the same ship. In New York they were" much seen together. They took a balloon flight together from Pittsfield, Mass. They were up in the air for seven hours, landing at West Hawley. At one time the balloon soared at 2,500 feet altitude. Leo Stevens, the veteran aeronaut, who was the pilot, says he never met a nervier little woman. Meanwhile, the objections of de Mumm's family became very strong.

The young woman had wealth. She reappeared in Paris and de Mumm shrugged wilful shoulders in the face of his family. He sought Mme. Barnes-Creel. Reconciliatio^Kbloomed like a hyacinth at dawn. ^ Several times afterward they quarreled and parted, de Mumm every little while' becoming conscience-stricken regarding his failure to comply with duties of a scion of his house-^ as his family saw them. He laid before the hopelessnes of their situation— her Catholic marriage; the young son of her marriage to Creel, now at an English school, a lad eight years old. They must really separate. It was necessary in support of family requirements that he marry in the conventional manner of wealfhy Europeans— a bride selected in the regular old-fashioned manner—for family, tradition, wealth, social desirability. Pistol Shots Mark Displeasure. Mme, Barnes-Cre,el had heard that sort of talk before. When de Mumm proposed a farewell dinner at Maxim's she Indulgently smiled. After the dinner he put off saying the farewell and accompanied her to her home. There he told her good-bye. This was really final, he said. Then It was shown that the Paris* lan boulevardier who had first named her the "Midget Carmen" knew well his psychology. From her escritoire she took out -a small gold-mounted pistol and shot de Mumm; once— twice! He was carried from the Rue des Belles Geuilles and Into an ambulance. He did not die. He scoffs now at the idea that she could possibly have meant to kill. One wound was in his shoulder; the other in his thigh. \ Lastly, he is pleading with her tor forgiveness. She is indignantly denying that when she was shooting at him he "so far forgot himself* as to strike her roughly, fiercely, as the report at first went out. What will the end be?a The Easton waitress, a dazzlingly beautiful matron as Mme. de Mumm, reigning in Paris to conspicuous at the court of Berlin? Or the other—that usual end which so, frequently has befallen women whose beauty and fascinations, whose daring and love of adventure, have lifted them from obscurity to luxury, to surprising positions of influence! and sometimes to despotic powerf careers which have so frequently ended in a gray cloak of desolation. cfV/eur i I.

The day before had been treacherously warm and springlike, >and I had gone about my affairs without any coat. It Is always the seemingly infinitesimal things that count heaviest in the final reckoning. I hadn't gone two blocks from Mouquin's that night, when I noted the fact that I was wearing a coat that did not belong to me. With a growl I turned around and went back. I simply wasted my time; my coat was nowhere to be found. I stormed about, sending the waiters jumping all over the restaurant, but to no avail. Finally I calmed down and admitted tnat it was all my own fault, I should nave examined the coat when I shouldered Into it. So I left word at the cashier's desk and sought the street again. Doubtless you have lost a coat or hat, in your time, if you who read happen to be a man. It is curious, but, no matter how much you are bettered in the exchange, you raise a howl—you-make the echoes ache wit?h your lamentations. There is nothing on earth you want save your own coat and hat. To-be sure, if, in the pockets of the wrong coat, there happen to be several thousand dollars, your howl Is modified and innocuous, and you go at once to look for the other fellow— perhaps. But, as in this instance there were only thirty-five cents, a canceled railroad ticket, and a scattering of cloves and tabloids for the breath, my cries were heard afar. Hang all absent-minded duffers, myiself included, whose wits go woolgathering at bad times! The coat was just like mine, a light gray winter paddock, lined with heavy satin. The only difference lay in the sleeves; these had small-change pockets, whereas mine had none. It was even exchange and no robbery, but I was none the less angry. The truth is, it was just after the first of the month and there were four or five unpaid bills in the inside pocket of my coat. (One was the bill for the coat!) So I climbed the stairs to the elevated station in no amiable frame of mind. Well, well; it really did not matter if the gentleman who had appropriated my coat learned that I owed my tailor. To owe one's tailor as long as the law permits is quite customary—not only customary, but also proper and commendable. The other bills were for cigars, gloves and hats; that is to say, of no great importance. I plumped into a vacant seat and glowered at the street below. It had stopped snowing, and the wind had gone down. For once in my life I took no interest in the advertising signs. I wanted my coat, and for all I knew the man who had it might stumble under an automobile and ruin the garment; and, even if he didn't ruin it, it would smell tolerably strong of gasoline. I conjured up all manner of catastrophes regarding the ultimate end of my coat. The other fellow might be burned up in it; h>e might fall down a greasy elevator shaft in it; he might even be lugged to jail in It, which was not at all unlikely, the cloves and tabloids speaking not very well for his habits. Was there ever such luck? Having no newspaper with which to pass away the time, I fell once more to rummaging the wrong coat. As 1 searched the pockets my sense of guilt was in nowise agitated. Doubtless the owner was at that moment going through thej&ckets of my coat. Thus, honors weraraen. But I found nothing by ,whic|r to identify my man. One's identity cannot be established fey means of thirty-five cents, a worthless ticket, and a few cloves. A. Conan Doyle might accomplish such * teat, but I couldn't . . . Hello! What was this? From the handkerchief pocket 1 drew forth an envelope; but, as I glanced at it, my hopes slumped. The address side was missing; only the sealing-flaps remained. I was about to toss it contemptuously Into the aisle, when I discovered that it was covered with pencil scrlbblings. . . . Merciful heavens! I held the thing under my very nose and read, with horrified eyes: "Girl must die between twelve and one o'clock. "Chloroform,—• "Bow-window at side unlatched,— enter there. "Safe in library. Secure Will. Leave by front door. "Servants' night out.—Girl alone." Mystery! I sat up straight and breathed quickly. I saw it/ ail very plainly. Fate had thrust this coat upon me; Fate had given me a mission; I might be the means 0of saving tbe girl's life. I was an amateur detective, after a fashion, and more than once, in the old newspaper days, I had succeeded where the police had failed. Jn a far corner of the envelope was a house address. Without doubt it was the-very house in which this niur* der was to be committed. 1 glanced at my watch. It was eleven o'clock. There was plenty, of time. . . . G*r had the crime already been perpetrated? 1 shuddered. It was left for me to find out. "Servants*, night out," I thought. This might or might not be servants' night outran any event 1 should have the happin^ss^pf confounding a great rascal. From the address I learned that the house was located in a particularly aristocratic part of the West side. But why should he kill the girl? Ha! I had it. There was a will. No doubt she stood between! With the girl dead, the property would fall to him. It sounded like a play at the Fourteenth Street theater; but, in real life, the melodrama is closest to our every-day affairs. I at once determined not to notify the police; they would only bungle the matter with the red tape of delay. 1 could call them in when the work was over. And to think that this ruffian's taste in overcoats was one and identical with mine! I had half a notion to tear off the coat, only it would have attracted attention—and, besides, it was cold. Some men would have shrugged their shoulders and permitted the thing to go on. In a great city the good Samaritan is usually looked upon as a meddler*, and, besides, every one has trouble enough of his own. The girl was nothing to me; even ber name was unknown. I hoped, however, that she was beautiful and young. My duty lay clear enough, it was possible to save a human being, and that was all there was to the matter. Any right-minded man would have done exactly as I did, though hardly with the same result. (This is not to say that I'm not right-minded, however!) If I should save the girl from her persecutor, I should always have something to fall back on if by any chance I myself left the straight and narrow way. • To save a life is to do penance for many sins. Putting aside all flippant moralizing, it was an adventure such as invariably appeals to me, and it is a habit of mine to pursue things to the end. It is a fine and noble pursuit, that ol research.' But sometimes, as in cases "like.this adventure of mine, persons lacking my sense of the romantic, are called busybodies. I do not recollect what street it was in the eighties that the guard bawled out, but it was near enough for my purpose. I hurried out of the car and down the steps of the elevated. Everybody gets in the way of a man in a hurry; so, for a block or more, the time was spent in making apologies to gr^ff-tempered persons. They would get in my way, and they would demand what I meant by not looking where I was going. Finally 1 succeeded in ridding myself of the crowds, and turned into a quiet and sober street. The sign on the lamp post told me that I 'had arrived on the scene. It was twenty minutes past eleven. Two things were possible: either theigirl had been killed the night before or I had half an hour or so in which to render her the greatest possible service. The house proved to be a fine structure, one of those few dwellings in the metropolis that boasts of anything like a court or yard. This yard was at the right of the building, and was more a roadway to the stables in the rear than anything else. Still, I may stretch It a point and call it a yard. I cast a hasty glance about. Not a soul was in sight. I tried one ot the gates. It was unlatched! This certainly must be the night. I stole up the roadway cautiously. The , fact that I left some fine tracks in' the snow did not disturb me. I was not guilty of anything wrong. Yes, there was the bow-window through which the rascal was to enter. There would be a surprise in store for him. A subdued light shone through the halfclosed blinds. Some one W£0 awake; doubtless the girl herself* reading. Everything was working out nicely. I would even save her any real annoy, ance. I tiptoed, back to the gate* and was about to make my exit, when I paused, horrified, my heart in my mouth. Coming airily along the walk was a policeman. He'was whistling popular Irish melodies and swinging his night, stick. The deuce! Suppose he took it into his head to examine the gate! I hid behind the great stone gate-post, breathing-with" dltticulty. If there was anything In the world I did not want to happen, it was to be arrested1 in this other fellow's coat! Besides the policeman wouldn't believe a word 1 said. He would hale me to the nearest police station, and all my efforts to save the girl would come to nothing. The pojiceman did start for the gate, but a cat fight across the street distracted him and he crossed over to break up the conflict I was saved. After a reasonable length of time, I stole forth. It was a close shaive. I dare say that I have omitted the fact that I am young, still under thirty, and am a struggling dramatist, after having been a struggling poet, into which craft I had drifted after having been a struggling humorist. The main fault of my want of success I lay to the fact that I do not look the various parts. As a dramatist.! lack the requisite irritability of temper; as a poet, 1 have not that distinct disregard for personal appearance usually considered characteristic; as a humorist, 1 am totally deficient of the long, cadaverous and dyspeptic countenance and luate'rless eye of the typical writer of funny fancies. When my uncle died and left me a comfortable income, Art received a staggering blow, from which it is doubtful she will ever recover. A spinster aunt insists that I am more than ordinarily agreeable to the eye; but, of course, blood is partial to blood. That is enough for the present of what the amiable Thackeray called "first person, singular, perpendicular." When once more in the street, 1 boldly approached the steps, mounted slowly, and pushed the button. If a maid or a footman should open the door, I should know instantly that it was not servants' night off. it remained only for the girl herself to answer my summons. This she did. I remarked, elsewhere, that I hoped she would be young and beautiful. She was. I wasn't exactly expecting such a. vision of loveliness. Her hair was like golden cobwebs, her eyes like sapphires, aud her complexion had the shadowy bloom of a young peach. I stared, standing first on one foot, then on the other. "What is it?" she asked, rather impatiently. It was quite evident that she had been deeply absorbed in the book .she held in her hand. I wondered how 1 should begin! "Well, sir?" "Are you the young lady of the house?" I finally summoned up the courage to ask. "Yes." The door moved perceptibly —toward me. "I have, then, something of vital importance to tell you." "Call tomorrow morning," she replied briefly. The door continued to move in my direction. I saw that I must act quickly, or turn the matter over to the police, which I "was exceedingly loath to do. "It is a matter of life and death," 1 said determinedly, "Life and death? Whose?" she asked, with discouraging brevity. Then she cried suddenly; "Has anything happened to my brother?'' "Brother? Not that I know. It is you!" "What?" She inclined toward me, and for a moment the door ceased to gravitate outward. "You possess a terrible enemy, known or unknown." "An enemy? . , . I haven't the least idea, sir, what the meaning of this hoax can—" ' "Hoax!" I Interrupted. "It isn't a ward that several robberies had recently been committed in the neighborhood.) "At a restaurant, tonia/ht," I began, "I got another man's coat by mistake. In a pocket oi this coat 1 found evidence that a terrible crime was about to be perpetrated. 1 came here to aid you." She £ tared at me wildly and tumbled her rings. "You have," I continued, "a deadly enemy, a wretch who wishes to put you out oi the way. You may not know who he is, but none the less he exists. You stand between him and a will. It is money, the greed of it, that brings him like a wolf to your door. According to my information, he is to enter here between the hours of twelve and one, chloroform you, and pilfer the safe. He knows the habits of this household well, for he is aware that on this night neither your aunt nor your servants would be in." She still eyed me with unchanging terror. "It was only human on my part," I went on, "to make known to you what I had found." Suddenly an inexplicable change came over ber. "Yes, yes; I see, I understand! Thank you! Oh, thank you!" hysterically. "Come into the drawing reom and sit down. 1 have been dreading this moment for months!" Dreading it for months? And yet she remained alone in this big, house? I was vastly puzzled; but I ijollowed her into the drawing room and sat other she Wretched out toward paper to dropped it, her. She and iv,i :-m the me. J gave the glanced at it, into tears. "Ciood heavens'"' I cried. Then she laughed .shrilly and hysterically. "What is the matter?" "You positively came here, then, to do me a real service; and all the while 1 have been thinking that you were a—" down, waiting for a further explajo^ when the police arrived. Where did 1 tion on her part. She was a rarely beautiful creature, and the Idea that any man could harbor thoughts against this exquisite life filled my soul with horror. "The will Is in the safe, but the eafe is in the library. Wait till 1 go and see if the papers are intact." She hurried from the room, leaving me with a sense of utter bewilderment. There was something about her present actions that I could not understand. She was gone fully five minutes. When she returned she was very pale, but ail her agitation was gone or suppressed. "The will is there; nothing, as yet, has been disturbed. Tell me all you know"—looking anxiously at the clock, the hands of which were now close upon midnight. I reviewed the whole affair. "Yes, I have a terrible enemy, who seeks my life at every turn"—her slender fingers snarling and unsnarling. I nodded comprehensively. "You ought never to be alone," I said. "I realize that. This will . . . leaves me untold mining property. . . . To my horror I must confess that this man is a near relative." "Your brother?" I whispered. "What?" "A lunatic -covering her face. "A lunaric?" I was absolutely dumfounded. "Yes; and when I left the room it was BimpJy to call the police. The manner of your entrance—the incredible thing you told me,—sir, there is some dreadful mistake. I haven't an enemy In the whole world. There is no will in'the safe. My brother and I live with our aunt, who owns this house. We have no property whatever. What I have been telling you was In the effort to keep you in good humor till the police arrived. But what can it all mean? It is simply Incredible." I picked up the envelope and stared at it stupidly. "The address is the same," I said, trying to find something" to stand on. "I know it; that's what makes it so uncanny. I cannot possibly understand. Perhaps the police can untangle it." The police! I saw that I should have to give a good account of myself hoax; it is frightfully serious, as you will soon learn, if you will only be so kind as to give me a few moments of your attention." There spread over her beautiful face various shades of amazement, indignation and fear. Hoax! It was, Indeed, a very ungrateful world. Decidedly, this time, the girl meant to close the door in my face. Resolutely, I shouldered past her into the hall! v "How dtfre you?" she cried, her wonderful eyes blazing and wrath dyeing her cheeks. "If you do not instantly go I shall call for help. How dare you?" "This is servants' night out, and your aunt is away," I said, intending to tell her all at once. But she suddenly drew back against the wall and gazed at me as If for all the world 1 resembled the uprising of Jason's dragon teeth. "What do you want?" she asked, in a panting whisper. "There isn't a penny in the house!" Goodness! if tho girl didn't take me for a burglar! "Do you think I'm a burglar?" 1 gasped. "But,"—piteoufily. "I am simply here to do you a service; and it is a service." "There are no Jewels save these rings.*. Take them and go." She stripped her fingers and held the rings toward me. * I flushed hotly. "Will you do me the honor to listen to me?" I asked, as calmly as I could. "Put back those rings; otherwise I shall regret that 1 took it upon myself to befriend you. I am not a burglar." She complied, but the terror in her eyea subsided none (I learned after* "Heavens, no! A cousin; yes, that is it, a cousin. I live from day to day in constant misery." "Frightful!" "Is it not? And I am so young!" Then she proceeded to tell me what l believed to be the. family history. It was marvelously complicated. "It seems incredible,^ I observed; "yet we read of like tales every day in the newspapers." *And no words of mine can express my thanks to you, sir. You have put me on my gaard. I had beard that my uncle—" "Uncle?" "Did I say uncle?"—with a catchy sort of laugh. "I meant cousin. I was going to say that I had heard he had left the country." But why did she watch me so closely? Every move I made caused her to start. When I turned down the collar of the other fellow's coat, she shuddered; when I drew off my gloves, she paled; when I folded my arms, she sent a terrified glance toward the door. I could not make any sense out of her actions. "To prove the manner of his entrance, let me see if the bow-window is unlatched. But wait!" I cried, producing tbe frayed envelope, "Listen to this and see how carefully he planned it, the rascal!" I then read to her the scribbling, putting careful emphasis on the bow-window and servants' night out. "Now, if you do not mind, I'll try the window." Sure enough, it was unlatched! "You see?" I cried triumphantly. The wild look returned to the girl's eyea.. ~- ftCeV-Iet me see that* paper!"— j "Yes, her brother," said Kellerd holding one hand to her throat while amiably. "Now, what's ail this pother i stand, anyhow? What did it mean? No man would write such a thing for the fun of It. "I'm sorry," said I awkwardly. "I thought I was doing right. Indeed, 1 really thought so." "And I thank you. You will admit that some of my suspicions were excusable. To whom am I indebted?"— graciously. In this mood she was char mi 11)¾ I told her my name. She loked puzzled, and finally shook her head. "It has a familiar sound, but I cannot place it." "There goes the bell!" I exclaimed. "It's the police—come for the lunatic!" - The girl flew to the door. I could easily read her mind. If I was a burglar or a lunatic, the police meant protection ; in case my errand was in good faith, there would still be the po1 lice to greet the mysterious stranger. Presently she returned, followed by a private detective and two policemen. "Is this the fellow?" asked the former, scowling at me. The girl explained, rather incoherently, her mistake. Kverybody nat* down. It was quite a social gathering, or would have been but tor the sci utlny of the' police, which i bore none too well. From all Hide:] questions came pupping at me, and-it was only by the use of the telephone connecting my bachelor quarters that I succeeded in establishing my identity. The frayed envelope was vastly interesting to the police. They read it forward and backward, upside down, and even held it close to the fire to see if any sympathetic ink had been used in writing it. "I guess Mr. Carewe's a well-meanin' chap, miss," volunteered the detective. "But this matter will need close attention. It looks like a tough proposition." He began to ply her with questions, but to r:o avail. During the examination I vaguely wondered what the other fellow wa.s doing with my coat. The clock on the mantel struck hall after midnight. . "There's only one thing to be done," said the detective; "and that's to turn out the lights and wait for the bloodthirsty gent." For three-quarters of an hour we five sat in the semi-darkness, our ears strained to catch the faintest foreign sound. Once I sneezed suddenly, and one of the policemen nearly fell out of his chair. It may seem funny to you who read, but it was mighty serious to the girl and myself. The suspense was nerve-racking. We scarcely dared breathe naturally. The occasional slumping of tho coal in the grate was pregnant with terrors. And our faces, seen but dimly, were drawn and tense with the silent watching Every eye was directed toward the baleful window, through which, at any moment, we expected to see a man crawl. "Sh!" The detective raised a warning hand. On tbe stillness of the night there <pme a clicking sound, like that of a key being inserted in a lock. Presently we heard the hall door open and close. We waited in agony, or at least I did. Possibly a minute passed, and then we saw the figure of a man loom in the doorway. We saw his arm extend toward the electric-light button, and instantly the room became brilliant with light. The young man blinked at us and wo blinked at him. "If yb* move a step," said the detective threateningly, "I'll plug you full o' lead." "What the d ?" began the newcomer, gazing from face to face. "Stop!" cried the girl, springing to hia side; "it is my brother!" Her brother! I looked at the man with indescribable horror. He had on my coat! And, more than -this, he was a man on whose honor I would formerly have staked my life—* Arthur Kellerd, ono of my classmates at college. And this exquislto girl was his sister, the girl I hao>always been wanting to meet! "Your brother!" cried tho detective, taken aback. , about, t'j ger ' i 1 a 11 g - - and fo: war and ii1. ucyhow?" Mere he chanted a good square look at me. me. if it isn't Dicky Carewel wearing my coat!" He came i and grasped my limp hand !iij;pd it. "if you only knew ho'.v I've b"en :urj=ing you'." he added, laughing. Then everybody began to talJK. at once, and nobody would have learned anything had not the detective resolutely interfered, He thrust the trayed envelope under Kellerd's nose. "Do you know anything about this?" he demanded. Kellerd scrutinized it for a.moment and then began to laugh; I might say that he roared. "I'm askin' you if you know anything about it?" repeated the detect? ive coldly. "I ought to know all about it** answered Kellerd finally; "I wrote it not four days ago." "Arthur!" cried the girl, her voice full of shame, horror, anguish and reproach. "Come, come, Nancy; Git's all a curious mistake, a very curious mistafee; and you'll all readily understand why 1 laughed, when I explain." "A joke, eh?" said the detective. "Perhaps you can explain it, and perhaps you can't,"—truculently. "Easily. You have doubtless heard of Norman Douglas," he began. The police shook their heads, but the girl and I looked interested. "Douglas is the fellow who's writing all those queer detective yarns for the magazines," said I. "Well," said Kellerd, "I've been trying to keep it dark, but here's where I must confess. I'm Douglast and that slip of paper represents the climax to a chapter in a new story. Come into the library, gentlemen." We followed soberly, even foolishly. Kellerd drew out from a drawer in his desk a bundle of manuscript, and the paragraph he read aloud coincided with the writing on the envelope. "Well, I'm jiggered!" J^athed the detective heavily. I looked around for a hole to crawl into, but there wasn't any. ^"""Your sister notified us that a lunatic was at large and had forcibly entered the house," said the detective, perfectly willing to cast ail the odium on my shoulders, (I could have throttled him with joy in my heart!) "A lunatic?" roared Kellerd. For a moment I thought he was going to die of suffocation, and if he had I. should not have been sorry at that moment. To have made an ass of myself before the prettiest girl I had ever laid eyes on! "I'm very sorry," said the girl. "Never you mind," I replied. "Some day I'li tell you all about the tabloids for the breath I found in Arthur's coat." A short time after, the policemen - solemnly filed out into the hall and into the street; and, not being in a. strictly amiable frame of rnind, 1 started to follow, "Oh. hang it, now, Dicky'." cried Kellerd; "a man who used to be a professional joke-writer ought not to harbor any ilf feelings. Have a cigar?" f shook my head. I had an idea that I wanted to utilize. "But I want you to meet my sister." "I am delighted,"—bowing rather .stiffly. "But you're not going off with my coat again!" I flushed, and shook the crstwbilo evil garment from my shoulders. "Not just a friendly cigar?" pleaded Kellerd. "Nary a one." The sirl approached shyly and touched my arm. (This was my idea.) "Not even a cup of chocolate,—^lf I make it?" "Oh," Raid I, "that's altogether a different matter." Subsequent events proved that it was. Sad Plight of Uncle Wagner Weemo.

CCIDEXTS have contributed billions to the wealth of the world. They have made the history of the great miningcamps. The merest chances have resulted in the discovery of the great lodes of gold and silver bearing ore. The accidental finding of a small nugget in the crpp of a chicken was momentous- it was the beginning of a series of explorations that unlocked a chain of treasure vaults in the Itocky Mountains. The remark of a hunter, the subsequent sinking of a well and the accidental meeting of four men, constituted a chain of events that revealed the greatest single deposit of orr ever known. The kick of a donkey uncovered a ledge from which millions have been taken. The man who seeks wealth in the rj;ines, knowing what he is hunting for, stumbles across it at the most unexpected moment. If he recognizes what he is looking for he is in a fair way to become rich. Sawmill That Opened Up the West. In January, ,1348. near Sacramento, California, James Marshall of New Jersey constructed for James Sutter most famous sawmill in historyf It quickened the pulse of the world. It revived the sluggish streams of commerce. It made men fighting mad. It resulted in wiping the buffalo and the Indian from the great plains. It filled the Pacific ocean with ships where previously but few sails had been seen. It caused the building of railroads, and laid the way for future millionaires. The mill was built of logs. Marshall careful/y selected a point for the tailrace, and because he decided that time eouJd be saved in completing the mill by permitting a flow of water to clear the mill-race of the eoit dirt, his name became linked with the advance of the western slatog. The water was turned in and, after running for several days, the head-gate was closed, to complete other necessary work. Then Marshall noticed a few shining specie in the banks of the race, He took ft step forward, gasped, halted, flushed and laughed at himself uncertainly. The next morning, January 19, 1848, he stepped into the tailrace and picked up a few pieces of brassy-colored metal. He showed them to the men at the mill. They all laughed. He pounded one piece under a hammer, lie placed them in his pocket. "Throw them away, Marshall," said one of the men, "and let's get the mill turning." The next day Marshall rode into Sacramento and reining his foamflecked horse in front of Sutter's store, Sutter to a rear room, the door of which he locked. "Do you know gohl when you see "No. Why?" Then Marshall produced the brassy bits. They hammered out a piecp the size of a half-dolh v. and weighecr it iu scales against a silver 50-cent piece. It v;as heavier^ They tested it with acids. They decided it was gold. Together they returned to the mill, and before night had gathered a pan full of coarse gold nuggets. When they did that they tapped the ton of the treasure-vaurt of the Western States. The newa of that find populated the Pacific Coast. A flame of excitement ran up and down the Sacramento Valley. It reached the fcur, corners of the earth. People came from everywhere. Those few specks of gold found in the mill-race at Columa, in Eldorado county, were the first of a production of $1,750,000,- nno. that California was to yield! Then * fojlowed the hordes that traveled to ^Jfce^new^gold coast by sea, around the 4Hprni end across the plains, fighting \ Indians and wild beast, and uncover- 4^gvpther mining camps that made the western states famous. Between 1848 and 1869 California produced more gold than had been gained in all of North and South America in the previous two centuries. Finding of the Comstock Lode. The chance remark of a hunter, followed by the accidental meeting of four men, is responsible for the uncovering of the most sensational body of ore in the history of mining. Prospectors swarmed all over the state of Nevada in 1859. They were men who had failed to find wealth in California, reinforced by immigrants who lacked the mor,ey to go farther. A hunter, whose name is not known, told Pat McLatighlin that fhere were mineral indictaions on Gold Hill. They found the place—and an outcrop," but no mineral. The ground had been prospected before and deserted. It was discouraging. They worked without result. They decided to sink a well in a depression. At a depth of four feet they ran across some blacklooking stuff that puzzled them. They washed some of it in a "rocker" and were amazed to find the bottom of the rocker "alive" with gold. In a few moments the men were making fifty dollars an hour. In the midst of this golden dream, H. T. P. Comstock came upon them. He declared nimself "in on it." He had prospected the ground before. He was determined he would not give an inch. They conceded him a half interest, which he divided with hi3 partner. That claim afterward became the Ophir ground. Its gold-bearing days were shortlived, when an asEayer named Melville At wood came along. Struck by the appearance of the black residue from the ore, he essayed it and found that it ran three thousand ounces in silver to the ton. * Prior to that the search had been for gold. Now there was a stampede. Within two years Virginia City, Nevada, had a population of thirty thousand, and the famous lode named after Comstock has produced in gold and silver $850,000,- 000. The mines burrowed down to a depth of more than three thousand feet, and for years fought through a rain of scalding hot water underground. In the early 70's it began to "playout. " The people were panic-stricken. Thousands faced starvation. Then appeared a man who seemed to "see through the moutnain/' The great lode had only been scratched, he declared. John Mackay, with James Fair and Messrs. Flood and O'Brien, started to sink the Consolidated California and Virginia shaft. Dark days were on the camp when that shaft went deeper and deeper without revealing an indication of ore. Just as the night was blackest, and the people filled with despair, the bottom of the Consolidated shaft punctured the top of the greatest bonanza ever recorded in history. Stocks soared. The hopes of the people revived. Virginia City was a bedlam of excitement. Millions came out of that hole. In the next two years the Consolidated paid dividends at the rate of $2,000,000 a month. The Chicken and the Professor. A chicken was the accidental means of halting a party of gold hunters, at a point which afterward became a great city, and the center of the most remarkable mining discoveries ever known. A group of Georgia miners stopped on the banks of a sandy creek in western Kansas, New Year's day, 1859. They had some poultry with them wliich they turned loose for a few days. They killed one, and in cleaning it a small gold nugget was found in the crop. Instantly a town was born. The men were from Auraria, Georgia, and they gave that name to the new place. The stream was called Cherry Creek. They panned up and down and within a few weeks so many trains of prairie schooners had stopped there that quite a community had been estabi4He is professor of metallurgy at Brown University/' came the answer. "How do you know-?" "Because I am a 'Brown man.** "College fellow, eh?" The man from Brown pressed his claim, and an appealing message was sent to tijje university. Professor Hill responded. He examined the ore and agreed to erect a smelter. The mineral wealth of Colorado was first uncovered by a chicken, and the state was saved by a professor, afterwards United States senator. The Last Chance* In ihe spring of 1S64 there was a stampede from Alder Gulch to the Kootenai, in British Columbia. Four men, named Cowan, Stanley. Miller and Crab, started north, and while crossing the Prickly Pear Valley in Montana, learned there was no use in going to the new diggings. This information was given to them by Jim Coleman and hie party, who were returning. They debated together and concluded to go back to the states. They could not agree on the route they should follow. The Cowan party wanted to try a new trail over the mountains. Coleman insisted that it was but a game traiL The other thought not. So they parted. Finding it impossible to get over the mountains, the Cowan party returned to the valley. 'Let's pan this gulch,' said Cowan. "It's the last chance before we leave." It was about sundown when Cowan made that remark. He filled his pan with gravel. In the gathering dusk his' partners watched him. Idly smoking. 'Ihe light was fading fast.^and Cowan was hurrying the work. He hud removed the coarse gravel and was well down to the bottom of the pan. As he began to shake it to rid it of superfluous dirt, and take in fresh water, he shouted: "We've struck it bigger'n all outdoors! We can own all of Montana!" In an instant his partners were at his side. Four breathless men watched the final operation. In the bottom of the pan were several fiat pieces of gold. As the dirt was thrown out. more and more of the yellow stuff appeared. Altogether there was about eighteen dollars' worth in that pan. They worked by camp fire. They were wild with joy. They were rich beyond their wildest dreams. They fired their revolvers and talked half the night, as they planned thier future. They had made history in washing that pan, for Last Chance Gulch was to have a population of more than ten thousand before the snows of Christmas fell, and the nuggets found in th-s pan were the first of $140,000,000 that it was to yield to the gold hunters. Helena, Montana, now stands on the place lished. The Pike's Peak boom was on. ! where that discc/ery was made From Leavenworth the world had been notified. There were saloons, gambling houses, dance halls, all the indulgences of a mining town, when the placer began to wane. The rush crowded the village. But tbe supply of gold was scant. Wagons labeled "Pike's Peak or Bust" came in dailv Some ascended the peak—seventy-fivp miles to the south—and if they could have found the man who started the rumor there would have been a hanging. Then John Gregory panned down the creek to the Platte, and foltoved it to its confluence with Clear Creek. Here he obtained better "colors." He ascended this stream thirty miles to the point where it forked. He panned the gravel on each side, and selected the North Fork. The next day t he lifted a panful of gravel from a gulch that will forever bear his name. The rush that followed changed the name of Auraria to Denver, and divorced from Kansas and Utah enough ten* tority to create Colorado. The people were gold mad. W. Green Russell, another Georgian, went into the next gulch, and almost the same day that Gregory "struck it," George Jackson, who had reached the South Fork of the same creek by crossing the mountains, added another district. The gold came so fast that the government ordered a mint erected at Denver In 1861. Then evil days fell on the new camp. The "free" gold disappeared. It was now held in the clasp of iron and sulphur and would not yield. Thousands faced ruin. Not one, but sereral cities had beer built in the mountains. Denver had grown by leaps and bounds. The people were in a panic. A mass meeting was called. It was a gloomy crowd •hat assembled. All agreed that somf* thing should be done. But what? "Send for Professor Hill!" shouted a man in the rear of the room. ' "Who is Professor Hill?" asked the chairman. A Murderer's Legacy. A great mining camp was discovered because a murderer escaped from jail. While evading arrest he stumbled on gold in the sands of a range of black mountains. Pursued by officers of the law and hunted by warlike Indians, hungry and weary, he gave himself up. To the warden of the prison where he died he gave two quills of gold, and made a rough map showing where he found the yellow stuff. They bersan an invasion of the country, which was an Indian reservation. Men died in the search for those mines. Wild Bill organized an expedition in 1872, and spent the winter in the Black Hills, fighting redskins. He was forced out in 1873 by the military. In spite of a cordon of soldiers and hostile Indians, prospectors risked their lives, for they found ore worth $900 a ton! The Indians ceded their lands to the government and the rush commenced in 1876. Within a year there were forty thousand people in the gulches. Deadwood Is located on the spot where the fleeing murderer found his little nuggets. If the keepers ' the jail had not been lax, the half-breed Renseler would not have escaped. And if he had not escaped and been pursued, the wealth of the Black Hills would have been unknown. Finding a Pleasant Tombstone. A prospector left Fort Huachuca, in Arizona. "I am going out to find a million," he remarked "You will find your tombstone! The country is alive with Indians." "Better a tombstone than poverty." A few weeks later he uncovered one., of the greatest silver mines ever opened In the southwest, which lie named the Toughnutl He galled ft the Tombstone District. Several millions of dollars were taken oui Just under the grass roots. A town sprang up. A novrawiper, cslled the Epitaph was published daily It was the accidental turning to the left, forced on him by 2 t the pretence cf thy Indian?, r: j than to tile right, where there were better mineral indications, that cause & him to stumble on the great silver deposit. *Vhere the Indians Got Their Faint. A piece of roe&Teit pnrafhotf utove uy accidenf'unlockeiisifeeasWelic^Jse- Ti-e Ir"3ians about Frescott, Ariztna. had an abundance of paint. 'Whf*re they obtained it was a mystery. The fact that they had it excited a party of prospectors, who followed tbem. They tracked the redmen up Jerome Canyon, and saw bright red and green stains on the side of the canyon walls. They went above these, and located a silver mine. v/Mch they worked ouL Then they sought a purchaser. They did not want to risk their money in searching for greater wealth. They interested Senator W. A- Clark of Montana. He investigated. When and sank a shaft and gave up in dishe saw the red and green stains he knew that back in the hills there was a deposit of copper. He bought the J% mine and commenced the sinking of a shaft that has made famous the United Verde. The Cripple Creek Enigma. vPike's Peak has always been associated with gold. In l't'CS a camn was located m one of tbe many natural parks on the side of it. Several thousand people were there. There was a town, district rules were adooted. and location monuments established. The prospects were promising. There was everything to make a good town—except gold. « ^ It flattened out and the place got a hard name. Then a man went over to Mount Pisgah. salted some claims, and started a rush. He left the country about twenty-five hundred feet ahead of a thirty-foot rope and several hundred angry men. Some hardy prospectors went around on the south side of the peak gust For years expedition after expedition wasted time and money on the sides of the great peak. Finally a man d^.ded that the way to get gold cvt of that section-was to feed cattle on the sides of the peak. He acquired a ranch. Later he borrowed some money on it and could not pay the mortgage. The holders of the notes offered to give him more time. He would rather they would take the ranch. Bob Womack dug a prospect hole in one of the gulches. A cow fell in it and was crinoled. Th€ owner of the ranch threatened to elect him. Womack sought aid to develor a mine. In response to his request eminent mining men investigated hit property and tried hard not to la us!, in his presence. Dignified mining er* glneers shook their heads knowing!v. and warned capitalists not to risk their money. Then some one bought Womack's claim for a song, and commenced tc work It. A little gold was found, but there etood Mount Pisgah. that had been salted, and all around it aban doned prospect holes that told of blasted hopes of bvgone years. It had the curses of thousands of men upon it. A little gold came from the sur face of the ground. But specialists sat up nights advising friends and clients to keep as far away from Cripple Creek as they could. Then silver was demonetized. Thousands were thrown out of employment. 'Hiey heeded not the adviec of the exnerts. Thev rushed into Cripple Creek by the thousand and accidentally discovered it They crowded the trails, and tramned in over the snow. The first winter was terrible. Thev w^^ked a placed on Mineral Hill—Wo mack's mine, the El Paso, be^an tc ship ore. Then, like a flash, came tb* pews of the finding of Bonanza or Gold Hill. Battle Mountain and Bull Hill. The secret was revealed. The bright silver-looking ore. that disappeared before the flame of the blowpipe, was gold disguised by tellurium. It was so simple. It all happened because t. mnn left a piece of. it on a stove by accident. The slow heat drove o^T the tellurium and left the gold in shining specks, peeking through the rock. The Openinq of the Yukon. WThen the Telegraph Expedition forced its way through tjie northwest in the middle of the nineteenth century, it found evidences of gold along the Yukon river. The party was locating a telegraph line that was never built. All that is necessary to start a prospector over the trail is word of rich diggings at another place, tho farther away the better. Every year after that miners sought the north. In 1896 the world was electrified by the discovery of George Carmack. who forced his'1 way up the Yukon, 1860 miles from the sea. He prospected the various rivers in search of the gold which the Telegraph Expedition had reported. He stumbled into Klondike Creek. Two miles above that he turned into a little^stream, where he washed from forty to^-ejghty dollars gold to the pan. His fortune was assured, and his discovery started the rush into the frozen north, for he had turned the key that opened the door to millions) away up in the Arctic Circle. Thanks to the Reindeer. Nome was discovered because some reindeer strayed away in 1898 and a Lapland reindeer herder at Nome, stumbling along after them, accidentally kicked a nugget from the sands. The beach was worked right down to the edge of the Behring Sea. Then a second, zone was discovered thirty-seven feet higher, but farther back. When it was worked out, a third beach, one hundred and seventyfive feet above sea level, and a mile or more back from it, was found. A town sprang up and millions were ta». ken from the beaches. 1 ! i 1 a I i K e e p Y o u r E y e o n t h a t C a n I W h e n | ff B u y i n g I J B a k i n g • I P o w d e r | § Fortius is the | f baking powder m m that"makes the • 1 baking better." | 9 It leavens the V m food evenly m throughout; puffs g 7 it up to airy fight- • m ness, makes it de- | B ligbtfully appetiz- m S ing and wholesome.

The other that counties in which there are large cities would, under the amendment receive a larger percentage, and counties where there are no large cities a smaller percentage of the mortgage tax moneys, than under the law as it is. 170,000 Bulgars and Turks Fight, News reached Constantinople of a three days' battle at 'Gallipol peninsula, between. 70,000 Turks and 100,000 Bulgarians, in-which 7,000 were killed and wounded on both sides.

HANDS CRACKED AND BLED St. Clair, Mo.—"My trouble began about fifteen years ago. It was what gome claimed eczema. The form the disease worked under was a breaking out with watery blisters on my hands which would then dry and scale, and tfien would follow the trouble of cracking and bleeding, also itching and hurting. My hands were disfigured at tho time, and sore. The trouble was very annoying, and disturbed my sleep. This last February it was ever so much worse than before. I did not do all ray work on account of the condition of my hands. I could not put them in water without making them worse. I tried a lot of home remedies, also salves and liniments that claimed to be a cure for the trouble, but I did not obtain a cure. "At last I saw the advertisement for I Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

I thought they would 1 cure, so I sent for a flfty-cent box of ; Cuticura Ointment and some Cutl- j cura Soap. - A doctor advised me to keep ahead with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment and they cured me completely.

"" ———- " " — Representative Wieland has prepared a bill placing all county officers on a salary. The high price of meat was forcibly brought to the mind of a Massachusetts man recently when he went to town and bought 40 - cents worth of steak, receiving 10 cents in change. When he got .home he couldn't find the meat. At last he discovered the dime in a coat pocket. That gave him the d u e and opening the purse he found where he had put the steak. People often discover what will do by finding out what will not do. Thus it is they more often learn wisdom from failure than from success. Not unhkly he who never made a mistake never became a successful man. Cer-t tain it is that temporary failures have often shown the way to discoveries and success. A n Exchange says: "A sad faced editor, with fringes on the bottom of his trousers, and the wind tinging through his whiskers, sat in his sanctum thinking—thinking. Presently a shadow fell across the room and a shrill voice demanded to know if he was the editor. 'Yes sir,1 said he with a look of alarm. The owuer of the voice mopped the floor with the editor and went his way. 'Thank Heaven!1 exclaimed the editor after he had gathered together the wreck of his former self and had straightened up the furniture, 'life is still worth living; I expected he would tell me to stop the paper.'V* Legal A d v e r t i s i n g £QlT AthTeE c oOuFn tyM oICf HLIiGviAngNs,t otane. rErosotaatete o fC ourt for WM.

Militant suffragettes connected* with the burning of buildings in public parks are liable to "penal servitude for life." This was the announcement in London of Travers Humphreys, public prosecutor, in asking the magistrate at the Kew police court to commit for trial Miss Lillian Lenton and Miss Joyce Locke. The two were arrested Feb. 20 for setting fire to a pavilion in the Kew botanical gardens. "I make my charge," said Mr. Humphreys, "under the malicious damage act, which makes it a felony punishable by penal servitude for life for any person to fire a building belonging to the king or devoted to public use."

Lively discussion was precipitated in congressional circles by a published statement credited to President- elect Wilson that he intended to spend part of each working day in the president's room at the capitol, to keep in closer touch with legislative affairs. Such action on the part of the president would overturn a precedent which has restricted the president's visits to the capitol to the last hours of a session of congress.

There have been booms in almost every civilized country and tfceV were looked upon as such, and in the course of time the bubble was pricked and they burst. But in no country has the development been as great nor as> rapid, whether in city or in country* as in Western v Canada. There may Sometimes vbe found one who wil^say "Can it last?" Winnipeg, today, stands, where Chicago stands as far as being the base of the great commercial, and agricultural country lying a, thousand miles back of it. It ha$ an advantage that Chicago did not have, for no country in the world's history has attracted to its borders a larger number of settlers in so short a tltae, or has attracted so much wealth in a period of equal length, as have #ie Canadian prairies. Never before has pioneering been accomplished under conditions so favorable as those that exist in Western Canada today. The provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta have the largest area of desirable lands on the North American Continent, and their cultivation has just begun. - Even with a two hundred million bushel wheat crop less than eight per cent, of the land is under the plough, four per cent, being in wheat. Less than five years ago the wheat crop was only seventy-one million bushels. It is a simple calculation to estimate that if four per cent, of the available cultivable area produces something over two hundred million bushels, what will forty-four per cent, produce? And then look at the immigration that is coming into the country. in'i$01 it was 49,149; 17,000 being from the United States. In 1906 it ^as 189,064, of which 57,000 were Americans, and in 1912 it was about 400,000, of which about 200,000 are Americans. In the three years prior to 1912, there were 358,859 persons who declared themselves for Canada, who brought Into Canada in cash, bank drafts, stock, Implements and effects over $350,000,- 000. Why have they gone to Canada? The American farmer is a man of shrewd business instincts, and when he finds that he can sell his own farm at from $100 to $200 per acre and move into Canada and homestead 1G0 acres for himself, and similarly for all his sons who are adult and of age, upon lands as rich and fertile as th6se he had left, and producing, indeed, several bushels to the acre in excess of anything he has ever known, it will take more than an ordinary effort to prevent him from making the change. He can also purchase good lands at from $12 to $25 per acre. And, then, too, there is the American capital following the capital- of brawn, muscle and sinew, following it so as to keep in touch with the industrious farmer with which he has had dealings for years back. This capital and the capital of farming experience is no small matter in the building up of a country. Will Western Canada's development continue? Why not? The total area of land reported as available for cultivation Is estimated as 218,000,000' acres; only fifteen per cent, of this is under cultivation. Nothing is said of the great mineral and forest wealth, of which but little has yet been touched.—Advertisement. SHE WASN'T SKEPTICAL.

"The Count de Pompadour, who cut such a swell at Atlantic City laBt year." "Let's see—you and the count didn't mix very well. Did he condescend to speak to you?" "He certainly did.

CHAPTER XIV.—Continued. A stinging blush—a blush of anger and outraged pride as much as of modesty—surged up over Agatha's face. She was silent a moment, and in that moment ¾eamed what it was to control anger. •'I have not been 'living with' this man, in any sense of the term, Mrs. Stoddard. I will say this once for all to you, though I never would, in any other conceivable situation, reply to such an Implication. You have no right to say or think such things." "Wickedness must be rebuked of the Lord," intoned Mrs. Stoddard. "Are you his mouthpiece?" said Agatha scornfully. But she was rebuked for her scorn by Mrs, Stoddard's look. Her eyes rested on Agatha's face with pleading and patience, as if she were a world mother, agonizing for the salvation of her children. "It is his command to pluck the brand from the burning," said Susan Stoddard. "Ungodly example is a sin, and earthly love often a snare for youthful feet." As Agatha listened to Mrs. Stoddard's strange plea, the instinct within her which, from the first moment of the interview, had recoiled from this fanatical but intensely spiritual woman, found its way, as it were, into the light. Such was the p%wer of her sincerity, that, in spite of the extraordinary character of the interview, Agatha's heart throbbed with a new comprehension which was almost love. She stHpped closer to Susan Stoddard, her tali Jlgure overtopping the, other's sturdy one, and took one of her strong work-hardened hands. "Mrs*. Stoddard, this man has never spoken a word of love to me. But if 1 ever marry, it will be a man like him—a plain, high-hearted gentleman. There! You have a woman's secret. And now come with me, and help us to save a life. You cannot, you must not, refuse me now." The subtle changes of the mind are hard to trace and are often obscure even to the eye of^ science; but every day these changes make or mar our joy. Susan Stoddard looked for a long minute up into the vivid face bending over hers, while her spirit, even as Agatha's had done, pierced the hedge which separated them, and comprehended something of the goodness in the other's soul. Finally she laid her othe'r hand over Agatha's, enclosing it in a strong clasp. Then, with a certain pathetic pride in her submission, flhe said: "I have been wrong, Agatha; I will come." Agathafs grateful eyes dwelt on hers, but the strain of the interview was beginning to count. She sank down in the chair that Mrs. Stoddard had offered at the beginning of their meeting, and covered her eyes with one hand. The elder woman kept the other "We will not go to our task alone," she said, "we will ask God's help. The prayer of faith shall heal the sick." Then falling her knees by Agatha's side, with raptTlifted face and closed eyes, she made her confession and her petition to the Lord. Her ringing voice intoned the phrases of the Bible as if they had been music and bore the burden of her deepest soul, She said she had been sinful in imputing unrighteousness td others, and that she h*d been Minted by her own wilfulness, she prayed for the stranger within her gates, for the sick man over .yonder, and implored God's blessing on the work of her hands; and praise should bo to the Lord. Amen. "And now, Angle," she said practically, as she rose to her feet, addressing the girl who instantly appeared from around the doorway, "go and teil Eittle Simon to drive up to the horse-block. Agatha, you go home and rest, and V}1 get hitched up and be over there almost as soon as you are. Angio will help me get the Jce* bag and all the other things, in case you might not have them handy. Come, Agatha!" But they paused yet a moment, stopping as if by a common instinct to look at the white cross. Susan Stoddard gazed down on it with a grief in her eyes that was the more heartbreaking because it was inarticulate. Agatha remembered the doctor's words, and understood something of the friction that could exist between this evangelistic sister and the finer, more intellectual brother. "I've never been inside the old red house since he died," said Mrs. Stoddard. "I'm f;orry!" cried Agatha. "It is hard for you to come there, I know." "He maketh the rough places plain," chanted Susan Stoddard. "Hercules was a good brother and a good man!" Agatha laid her arm about the older woman's ' shoulder, and thus was led out to Little Simon's buggy. Susan helped her in, and Agatha leaned back, with closed eyes, indifferent to the beauty of early afternoon on a cool summer's day. Little Simon let her ride in quiet, but landed her in the dult on the opposite side of the road from the lilac bushea. "Thope trees!" said Doctor Thayer's voice, as he came out to meet her. "How did you make out with Susan?" "She's coming," said Agatha. "Is your patient any better?" '"I don't think he's any worse," answered the doctor dubiously, "but I'm glad Susan's coming. I'd be glad to know how you got round her." Agatha paused a moment before replying, 'I wrestled with her." The doctor smiled grimly. "I've known the wrestling to come out the other way." "I can believe that!" said Agatha. "Well, it's fairly to your credit!" And rerhaps this was as near praise as his New England speech ever came. CHAPTER XV. Echoes From the City. Sallie Kingsbury, unused to psychological analysis, could not have ex* plained why Mr. Hand was so objectionable to her. He was no relative of the family, she had discovered that; and, accustomed as she was to the oldfashioned gentility of a thrifty New England town, instinct told her that he could not possibly, be one of its varied products. He might have come from auywhere; he talked so little that he was suspicious on that ground alone; and when he did speak, there was no accent at all that Sallie could lay hold of. Useful as he was just now. in taking care of that poor young man up-stairs, he nevertheless inspired in that breast a most unholy irritation. Her attitude was that of a housemaid pursuing the cat with the broom. * Mr. Hand was not greatly troubled by Sallie's tendency to sweep him out of the way, but whenever he took any notice of her he was more than a match for her. On the afternoon following Agatha's visit to Mrs. Stoddard, he appeared to show some slight objection to being treated like the cat. He ate his luncheon in the kitchen— a large, delightful room—while Aleck Van Camp stayed with James. Hand was stirring broth over the stove, now and then giving a sharp eye to Sallie's preparation of her new mistress' luncheon. "You haven't put any salt or pepper on mademoiselle's tray, Sallie," said he, as the maid was about to start upstairs, "Miss Sallie, I should prefer, Mr Hand," she requested in a mournful tone of resignation. "And Miss Redmond don't take any pepper on her aigs; I watched her yesterday." "Well, she may want some today, just the same," Insisted Mr. Hand in a lordly manner, putting a thin silver boat, filled with salt, and a cheap pink glass pepper-shaker side by side on the tray Sallie brushed Hand away in disgust. . "That doesn't go with the best sliver salt-cellar; that's the kitchen pepper. And, you can say Mies Sallie, if you please. "No, Just Sallie, if you please! I've taken a great fancy to you, Sallie, and 1 don't like to he so formal," argued Hand. "Besides, I like your name; and I'll carry the tray to the top of the stairs-for you, if you'll be good." "I wouldn't trouble you for the world, Mr. Hand," she tossed s back. "You'd stumble, and break Parson Thayer's best china that I've washed for seventeen years and only broke the handle of one. cup. She wouldn't drink her coffee this morning outer the second-best cups; went to the "buttery before breakfast and picked out wunner the best set, and poured herself a cup. She said it was inspiring, but I call it wasteful—and me with extra work all day!" Sallie disappeared, leaving a dribbling trail of good-natured complaint behind her. Mr. Hand continued making broth—at which he was as expert as he was at the lever or the launch engine. He strained and seasoned, and regarded two floating islands of oily substance with disapproval. While he was working Sallie joined him again at the stove, her important and injured manner all to the front. "Says she'll take another aig," she explained. "Only took one yesterday, and then I had two all cooked." "What did I tell you?" jeered Hand. "Yog^didn't tell me anything about aigs, . that I recollect," Sallie replied tartly. "Well, the principle's the same," asserted Hand. After a moment his countenance assumed a crafty and jocose expression, which would have put even Sallie on her guard if she had looked up in time to see it. "You won't have so much extra work when mademoiselle's maid arrives," he said slyly. "She'll wait on mademoiselle and attend to her tray when she wants one, and you won't have to do anything for mademoiselle at all." Sallie became slowly transfixed in a spread-eagle attitude, with the half of a thin white egg-shelr held up in each hand. "A maid! Wben's she coming?" "Ought to be here now, she's had time enough. But women never can get round without wasting a lot of time." Sallie's glance must have brought him to his senses, for he added hastily: "City women, I mean." "Hm! She won't touch Parson Thayer's china—not if I know myself!" Sallie disappeared with Miss Redmond's second egg. When she returned, she delivered a message to the effect that Miss Redmond wished to see Mr. Hand when he had finished his luncheon. He was off instantly, calling: '"Watch that broth, Sallie!" It was a different Hand, however, who entered Miss Redmond's room a moment later. His half Impudent manner changed to distant respect, tinged with a sort of personal adoration. Agatha felt it, though it was too intangible to be taken notice of, either for rebuke or reward. Agatha was sitting in a rocking-chair by the window, sipping her tea out of the best tea-cup, her tray on a stand in front of her. She looked excited and flushed, but her eyes were tired. "Can I do anything for you, Mademoiselle?" Hand inquired courteously. "Yes, please," answered Agatha, and paused a moment, as if to recall her thoughts in order. Hand was very presentable, in negligee shirt which Sallie must have washed while he was asleep. He was one of those people who look bes^t^n their working or sporting clothes, ruddy, clean and strong. He would have dwindled absolutely into the commonplace in Sunday clothes, if he was ever so raah as to have any. "I wish to talk with you.-a little," said Agatha. "We haven't had much opportunity of talking, so far; and perhaps it is time that we understand each other a little better." "As mademoiselle wishes," conceded Handi "In the' first place," Agatha went on, "I must tell you that Mrs. Stod dard is coming to help nurse Mr. Hambleton. You have been very good to stay with us so long; and if you will stay on, I shall be glad. But Doctor Thayer thinks vou should have help, and so do I. Especially for the next ?ew days." "That is entirely agreeable to me, Mademoiselle." "Will you tell me what—what remuneration you were receiving as chauffeur?" "Pardon me, but that Is unnecessary, Mademoiselle. If you will allow me to stay here, either taking care of Mr. Hambleton or in any outdoor work, for a week or a« long as you may need me, I shall consider myself repaid."1 Agatha was silent while she buttered a last bit of toast. Hand's reticence and evident eecretiveness were baffling. She had no intention of letting the point of wages go by in the way Hand indicated, but after deliberation she dropped it for the moment, in order to take up another matter, "I was wondering," she began again, "now you happened to escape from the Jeanne D'Arc alone in a rowboat, and what your connection .with Monsieur Chatelard was. Will you tell me?" ' A perfectly vacant look came into Hand's face. He might have been deaf and dumb. AtHhasf-Agatha began again. "I am grateful, exceedingly grateful, Mr. Hand, for all that you have done for us since that catastrophe, but I can't have any mystery about people. That is absurd. Did you leave the Jeanne D'Are when the others did—when I fell into the water?" I This time" Hand consented to answer. "No, Mademoiselle; I did not know you had fallen into the water until I brought you ashore in the morning." "Then how did you get off?" "Well, it was rather queer. The men were all tired out working at the pumps, and Monsieur Chatelard ordered a seaman named Bazinet and rae to relieve two of them. He said he would call us when the boats were lowered, as the yacht was then getting pretty shaky, Bazinet and I worked a long time; and when finally we got on deck, thinking th« Jeanne D'Arc was nearly done for, the boats had put off. We heard, some one shouting, and Bazinet got frightened and jumped for the boat. He thought they'd wait for him. It was too dark tor me to see whether ho made it or not. I stayed on the yacht for some time, not knowing anything better to do—" Hand allowed himself a faint smile— "and at last, after a hunt, I found thajt extra boat, stowed away aft. It was very small, and it leaked; probably tha' *was why they did not think of using it. But it was better than nothing. I found some putty and a tin bucket, and got food and a lot of other things, though-the boat filled so fast that I had to throw most everything out. Eut I got ashore, as you know. I didn't even wait to see the last of the Jeanne D'Arc." Agatha's eyes shone. Hand's story was perfectly simple and plausible. But the other question was even more Important. She hesitated before repeating it, however, and rewarded Hand's unusual frankness with a grateful look. \ "That was a night of experience for us all," she said, with a little sigh at the memory of it. "But tellmii—" Agatha looked up squarely—alHand, only to encounter his deaf and dumb expression. "If you will excuse me, Mademoiselle," said Hand deferentially, "I -ti>lnk Mr. Hambleton's broth is burning." "Ah, well, very well!" said Agatha. And in spite of herself she smiled. Hand found Mrs. Stoddard installed in James Hambleton's room. * Doctor Thayer and Aleck had gone, both leaving word that they would return before night. Mrs. Stoddard had smoothed James' bed, folded down the sheet with exactness, noted her brother's directions for treatment, and sat reading her Bible by the window. Mr. Hand stood for a moment, silently regarding first the patient, then hIB nurse. "By the grace of God, he will pull through, I firmly believe!" ejaculated Mrs. Stoddard. As the first words came in that resonant deep voice, Hand thought -that the nurse was swearing, though presently he changed his mind. "Yes, ma'am," he replied with unwonted meekness. Then, "I'll sleep an hour or two, if that is agreeable to you, ma'am." "Perfectly!" heartily responded Mrs. Stoddard, and Mr. Hand disappeared like the mist before the sun. It was to be an afternoon of excitement, after all, though Agatha thought that she would apply herself to the straightening out of much necessary business. But after an hour's work over letters at Parson Thayer's desk, there occurred an ebullition below which could be nothing less than the arrival of Lizzie, Agatha's maid, with sundry articles of luggage. She was a small-minded but efficient' city girl, clever enough to keep her job by making herself useful, and sophisticated to the point of indecency. No woman ought ever to have known so much as Lizzie knew. Agatha was to hear how she had been relieved by the telegram several days before, how she had nearly killed herself packing in such haste, how she thought she was traveling to the ends of the earth, coming thus to a region she had never heard of before. Big Simon, who had been instructed to watch for Lizzie and bring her and her luggage out, presently arrived with the trunks, having sent the maid on ahead in the buggy with his eon. Simon positively declined to carry -.t\vo trunks to the second floor, saying he thought they'd like it Just as well, or better, if he left them in the hall down-stairs. Lizzie was angrily hesitating whether to argue with him or use the persuasion of one of her mistrefls* silver coins, when Agatha Interfered, and saved her from making the mistake of her life. It is doubtful if she could have lived in Ilior\ after having been guilty of tipping one of its foremost citizens. And even if. she hrid, she would not have got the trunks taken up-Btairs The prospect of discarding Sallie Kingsbury's makeshifts and wearing a dress which belonged to her had more comfort in it than Agatha had ever believed possible; and the reality was even better. She made a toilet, for the first time in many days, with her accustomed accessories, dressed be* self in a white gown, and felt better.. "Are tljese the relatives you weri visiting, Mis* Redmond?'1 inquired Lizzie, eaten up with curiosity, which was her mortal weakness. Agatha paused, struck with the form ot the maid's • question; but, knowing her liking for items of news, she answered cautiously: - "Not relatives exactly. The Thayers were old friends of my mother." , Liazie shook out a skirt and hung it in the wardrobe In the. far corner of the room. She was bursting to know everything about Miss Redmond's sudden journey, but knew better than to appear anxious. "The message at the hotel was so indefinite that X didn't know at all what I should do. After the excitement quieted down a little, I went out to visit my cousin Hattie, in the Bronx." What sort of excitement?" Oh, newspaper men, and the manager, and Herr Weimar, of the orchestra, and a lot of other people who came, wanting to see you immediately. They seemed to think 1 was hiding you somewhere." Agatha. smiled. She could imagine Lizzie in her new-fledged importance, talking to all those people. "You spoke of a message—" ven» tured Agatha. "Yes; the one you sent the day you left, Miss Redmond. The hotel clerk eaid you had suddenly left town on a visit to a sick relative." "Oh, yes." Lizzie's quick scent was already on the trp.il of a mystery, but Agatha was in no mood just then to give her any version of the events of that Monday afternoon. "Was there any other message, Misa Redmond? Some word for me, which the clerk forgot to deliver?" "No, nothing else." "Mr. Straker came Tuesday morning with some contracts for you to sign. He said that you had an appointment with him, and he was nearly crazy when he found you had gone away without leaving your address." Agatha smiled more and more broadly, to Lizzie's disgust, bu* she could not help it. " i don't doubt hfc was disturbed. Did he come again?" "Come again, Miss Redmond!" Lizzie hung a blue silk coat over its hanger, held it carefully up to the light, and turned toward her mintress with the mien of a person who irfft't to be bamboozled. "He came twice *very day to see if I had any word from you; and when I went to Cousin Hattie's he called me up on the 'phone every morning and evening. Most unreasonable, Mr. Straker was. He said there wasn't a singer in town he could get to fill your engagements, and he was losing a hundred dollars a day. He's very much put out, Miss Red mond." "Well, I was, too," said Agatha, but somehow her tone failed to satisfy the maid. To Agatha tho thought of the dictatorial manager fluttering about New York in quest of a vanished singer—well, the picture had its humorous side. It had its serious side, too, for Agatha, of course, but for the moment she put off thinking about that. Lizzie, however, had borne the brunt of Mr. Straker's vexation, and In that lumber-box she called her mind, she regarded the matter solely as her personal cue to come more prominently upon the stage. "Then your accompanist came every morning, as you had directed, Miss Redmond; and Madame Florio sent word a dozen times about those new gowns." Lizzie, with the memory of her sudden importance, almost took up the role of baffled innocence. "I declare, Miss Redmond, I didn't know what to do or say to those people. The whole thing seemed t?o irregular, with you not leaving any word of explanation with me." (TO -BE CONTINUED.) Searching for Hidden Will. The romantic story of a hidden will is arousing keen Interest in the neighborhood of Bradley Fold, a little village three miles from- Bolton, Lancashire, England. Search for the missing document is being made by a woman from Gunnersbury, London. She believes that if she succeeds in her quest, she will become entitled to a valuable, estate. The search was prompted originally by statements made by a medium at a spiritualistic seance. The will is supposed to be concealed in a wall sunk 1n a shed which has been bricked up for many years. It formed a cellar to an ©Id house. The London searcher's ances tor, John Bradley, who married his housekeeper, was known to possess great wealth, No will could be found after his death.

My experimenting has been carried on solely for my own benefit and not with a view to publication. I am assuming that practically everyone realises the value of exercise, rest and fresh air, so that the lack of these is not the cause • when we have ailments. Therefore there must be some other cause, as the rule of nature is health and any deviation from it is an indication that we have lived unwisely in eoine way and 1 believe that in nine cases out of ten it is'the diet that is at fault. For about fifteen years I have not taken medicines of any kind except in the form of food and water and at the same time 1 have indulged to a limited extent in drinking and smoking for ihe sociability and pleasure of it. all this time 1 have not had a severe cold and when 1 have 'toy at all I have believed it due either to overeating or improper dion of waste or both. In my opinion the cause has been over- I have gone without a meal, drunk considerable water and eaten |§|^4f|nge and the cold has gone away. Yet as all ailments run their I am not so sure whether the cold would have disappeared without f l l p l ^ If I have thought the -erold due to inefficient elimination I ^^SlmOii^^ fruits with seeds in them, such a raisins and figs, and green vegetables raw, without any spiees of any kind, such as lettuce and cucumbers, and also drunk considerable water. Becently I was annoyed by a sore nose and reasoned that this was duo to impure blood. I am of the belief that; onions are of great value as blood purifiers on account of the sulphur they contain. I do not believe ; that sulphur in its mineral form is of much value, as the human system ^cannot readily assimilate anything outside of vegetable or animal food. So I ate about six raw onions in two days and my trouble disappeared. BY choosing her Imsbaad from tbe circle of royalty, Princess Olga Elizabeth of Saxe-AKenburg has sprung a .surprise on her noble family and the "neighbors." Count Karl Friedricb von Puckler, wbo is at the head of the Stlesian family of that name, has fallen heir to the affections of Princess Olga, and the wedding will be held within the next few weeks at the castle of Saxe-Altenburg at Alfa rechtaberg. near Dresden. Princess Olga is the eldest daughtef of Prince Albert of Saxe-Altenburg, whose family is a branch of the royal family of Saxony. She is twenty-seven years of age, and, like all princesses, is beautiful and accomplished. Had Princess Olga followed tradition and done as many others of the Saxony clan did, she would have married below her station. It was expected that she would.

It is believed possible that Just because she haB pleased her noble father and cast her lot with another royal' personage there will be something of a notable celebration when tbe nup? tial vows are takeu. It is so unusual for the family of Saxony to become related to royal blood that it is felt a celebration is due. TJijfi is not because tbe family of^axony has not been able to marry better. No, indeed. It has been a popular belief among the young folk of the house that it was more romantic to marry **low,fc People unacquainted with royal standards would consider that the members of the Saxony family had "married anything but "low." Count Karl Kriedrich von Puckler is some count. He is a spor&maa of renown, and a favorite among the young men of his class. He is an athlete of distinction; a horseman, hunter, swimmer, et cetera. Ever since he took to his own feet he has been identified with eome athletic competition, aud invariable he has made good. He is considered handsome and a veritable wizard among the women.

A good deal of the prince's estate has been dissipated, but he has enough left so that he and those around him can live in comfort for the rest of their days. Several court fetes will be given in honor of the Princess Olga before the marriage is celebrated. These are expected to rival any that have been given in the interior of the continent, and while they will be small they will be choice in quality. The largest will probably be given by tbe kaiser himself, who has likewise expressed satisfaction with the plans as they have thus far progressed.

"NO EQUAL IN AMERICA;" J. P. MORGAN'S TRIBUTE Miss Belle De Costa Green Has Great Financier's Full Confidence in All Matters Pertaining to Art, Espc cially in Matters of Rare Books. S Miss Belle De Costa Green the cleverest woman in the country? J. Pierpont Morgan says she*is. Many eminent scholars bow to her wonderful knowledge of books, curios and history. Miss Belie De Cost? Green. anything more than one of the city's many society girls, writes a New York correspondent. If you should be introduced tot her and listen to her engaging, vivacious chatter, you would not believe she was anything less than one of the most charming and popular of them all. Miss Belle Green began to learn about old books in the Princeton library, where Bhe made a special study of them under the direction of Junius Morgan, nephew of J. Pierpont. She Is familiar with every style of binding and type and illuminated letter through three or four centuries. They are all she cares particularly about In the w»ay of books. Entirely Free From Affection. Seeing Miss Green in her home, one would still imagine that she was only a decidedly clever society girl, witb intellectual tastes, judging from the bookcases that occupy a prominent place in the living room of the apartment, where she lives with her mother. One would also judge that she was Interested in art, to judge by the tapestries on her wall and the carved / Smart Boy.

Himself and a numv ber of the staff had gone to Washing* tpn the Saturday before to meet Pres ldent Lincoln, General Halleck an* Secretary Stanton. How vividly the scenes of the Culpepper street on that balmy J^arct forenoon of forty-seven years ago, the first time I saw General Grant, eome back to me. I can hear the BhrUl whistle of the engine, see the twe weather-beaten passenger coaches and a freight car as they stopped. Pretty soon a dosen or more trim-built, finely uniformed staff officers saUghted writes Lieut. Col. jr. A. Watrous, TJ. 8. A., in the Milwaukee Sentinel. Among these I recall Grant's strong right arm, General Rawlins, Colonel Bareau, Colonel Parker, the Indian, Majors Howley and Bowers. The driver ot the ambulance was apparently told that the general would walk to headquarters, for he drove away without a passenger. Half of the staff was on either side of the street, about ten feet from the sidewalk. I looked sharply for the lieutenant general in this party, but none of them resembled the pictures of the new man. "There he comes!" passed along the spectator brigade. Surely our necks were craned and heels raised that out eyes might behold the mighty man from the west who was to command In the next campaign. 'Go along! That isn't him." **Bet you1 my canteen—I know It'* Grant." 'That little, sandy-bearded, stoop shouldered, slow-walking fellow—-thai one—you say that's General Grant?* "That's who it Is." And It was. This conversation waa carried on by a New Yorker and a Vermonter at my right, while General Grant wai slowly, very slowly, walking from the left to the right of his respectfully pos*ed staff. When he reached the right, the staff right and left faced, caught step with the general—a very hard one to keep because it was so slow—and without uttering a word tho small but distinguished procession passed along the street to headquarters, the most of us moving along the sidewalk closely watching the general. If I had not kept informed touching the great deeds of our new commander, that first sight of him would have made an unfavorable impression, but as it was, his personal appearance —there was not a member of the staff who waB not better looking, better dressed and more soldierly in his bearing—his dusty slouch hat, unbuttoned undercoat and overcoat, unpoliBhed boots, half-smoked cigar, hands folded behind^ him and the Blow step, were sized, weighed and measured and called just right. Greater joy never came to the army of the Potomac than accompanied the report that Grant—Grant of Fort Henry, Fort Donelsoh, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Mission Ridge—was coming to help us run down Bobby Lee and his fighters. All of the army wanted to grasp his hand and bid him welcome. Much as aHhougand of us, on that short, silent march of the "Old Commander," wanted to greet him, I can not imagine what would have Induced us to attempt it. Such was the welcome extended to this giant of the west by every man in that army, which for nearly three years had pounded and been pounded from Manassas to the peninsula, from Cedar mountain to Antietam, from Fredricksburg to Chanceloraville, from Gettysburg to Mine Run; and etill there we sat oa the banks of the Rapldan and looked across into the faces of Lee's dauntlesi army of northern Virginia, leader and men who were as ready for battle as everaa hopeful seemingly, as if they had not left 100,000 of their brave brethren on fields where the two armiee clashed. # trinkets on the mantel and tables and her?"

The call came at 10:30, and Shaw said that three acta had gone off superbly and that everything pointed to a hig •ttuccess. All at once I determined to •run uptown to the theater and steal 1a to see the last act. So I called !for my hat and coat, apologized to my ifriend, and went forth into the night —and romance! Gramercy Park is always still at 'might, quiet even in the very heart of turmoil. Only an indefinable murmur drifted over from the crowded life of Broadway. I was conning some lines I thought fine, epigrams and fragmentary philosophy. "Hurry! We have only half an hour!" The voice, soft and musical, broke the silence ere my foot had left the last step. Amazed, I looked in the direction whence came this symphony of vocal allurement. A handsome •coupe, with groom and footman, stood et the curb. A woman in evening gown leaned out. I stopped and ctared. The footman at the door touched his hat I gazed over my shoulder to see if any one had come •out of the club at the same time that I had. I was alone. "Hurry! I have waited at least half an hour. We haven't a moment to waste." Some one in the upper rooms of the club lifted a shade to open a window, and the light illuminated.her features. She was young.and very handsome. To tliis day I cannot analyze the impulse that led me into that carriage: Fate in the guise of mischief, Destiny in mottey and out for a lark, I know not which, nor care. "I am sorry to have kept you waiting," said I. "I thought you would never come," she answered. Thought I would never come? I was silent because I had nothing to say. "One after another they came out. I thought you would never, never come. I had nil I could do to keep from going into the club after you!" She tore off her long:, white &fo-v_e£_ .and flung them (savagely, I thought) into her lap. Going Into the club after rn<3? Heavens! What a scandal I had escaped! What the deuce v/as it all ,about, anyway? Who was I? What ; was expected of me? My nerve l03t ja particle of its strength, hut I could | not back out now. It was too late. 11 was in for some sort of excitement. "You will never forgive me, I know, ifor waiting outside a club for you." ^She snuggled over to her side of the (carriage. I "Yes, I will!" I replied with alacfrity. Who wouldn't forgive her? I (moved closer. I *Tt is all so terrible!" Her voice (was tense; there was a note of agony in it that was real. She was balling her handkerchief, and I could see that her fingers were long ami white and without jewels, though I caught the Intermittent glimmer of a;flne necklace circling an adorable throat. What a fine chance for a rascal! I wondered H fiDe would have me arrested when she found out? Was I married, single, a brother, a near friend? What the deuce was her trouble? Ought I to kiss her? My double was a fortunate duffer. How I envied him! "Women are so silly sometimes. I do not know wlby I was dragged into this," she said. Dragged into what? Had. a crime been committed, or had some one run away with another man's wife? Heavens! we might he eloping and I not know anything about it! X shivered, not with fear, hut with a strange ela* tion. "How could I have done it? How could I? Terrible!" "It must he," I admitted readily. No, a woman does not elope in her ball gown. Perhaps we were going after the trunks. "To think that he would force me into.a thing like this P—vehemently. "X see that there is nothing left for me to do but to punch his head." I thought I was getting on famously. She gave me a swift, curioua glance. "Oh, I am brave enough," said I. I wondered If she had noticed that I was a passably good-looking man, as men go. "What is done Ib done,"—wearily. "Retrospection will do us no good." "What dp you wish me to do?" I asked presently. It was like writing a composite novel, no one knowing what the other chapters were about I had already forgotten that I had written a , play which was to be produced the following night! I forgot everything but the potent charm of the mystery which cat beside me and which 1 was determined to unravel, as they say in detective stories. "What do you wish me to do?" 1 repeated. "I will tell you when the time comes. For your own sake, be ad» vised by me and do nothing rash. You are so impulsive." For my own sake do nothing rash; I was bo impulsive! My hand wan* dered toward the door-latch, and fell. No! I would stick it out, whatever happened. "You are not afraid, are you?" she risked. \ifraid of what?"—adroitly, "rwas right in waiting for you,"— simplyx Maybe; that remained to be seen. "Are you wise in taking me there tonight?" I asked. This was very cunning of me. She coughed slightly and peered from the window. "Ten blocks* more! Oh, if only wo dared go faster, faster, and have it all over with!" "A policeman would delay us no inconsiderable time," I cautioned, "And think of its being reported in the papers! That wouldn't help matters. They are bad enough as they are." Doubtless they were! '--She said nothing. "Courage, courage!" I Baid; "all will end well." At least I sincerely hoped it would end well. I reached over and touched her hand. She withdrew that member of an exquisite anatomy as suddenly as if my touch had stung her. Then a horrible thought scorched me. I had more than a thousand dollars in my wallet. I snuggled over to my side of the carriage. The newspapers were teeming with stories of new bunko-games, and this might be one of the classics of getting-richquick on other people*s money. I slyly buttoned up my coat. Anyhow, it was chilly. On, on we rolled; light after light flashed into the window, gloom followed gloom. More than a thousand dollars was a large sum for an author to be carrying about; and if the exploit turned out to be a police affair I might be seriously questioned as to how an author came by so large a sum. Yet, as I thought of her necklace, I felt my chreeks grow red with shame. It's so hard to doubt a beautiful young woman! Still, the jewelry might not be real. Had she re>yy mistaken me? Ha! I had it. I would find out what she was. I leaned over quickly and kissed her cheek. There was not a sound, only I felt her shudder. She wiped with her handkerchief the spot my lips had touched. I was a cad and a wretch. "vfhen she did speak her tones were even and low. "I did not quite believe that of you" "F could not help ft!" I declared, ready to confess that I was an impostor; and as I look back I know that I told the truth when I Baid I could not help it. I didn't care whore the carriage went, nor what the end would be. i . / , • "And I trusted youj" The reproach was genuine. / I had nothing to say. Sfy edifice of suspicions had suddenly tumbled about my ears. "I am sorry; I have acted like a cad. I am one," I said finally. "I was helpless. One after another the men we trust fail us," she answered despondently. "Madam, I am a wretch. X am not the gentleman you have taken me for. I have had the misfortune to resemble another gentleman." "I never saw you before in all my life, nor any person that resembles you. equivocal methods; It is an adventure, sir. Will you see it to the end, or shall I press the button ?" She seemed really in earnest. "Permit me tp ask a Question or two!" I was mightily confused at the turn of things. "Perfect confidence Jn me, or 2 shall open the door." "In any other ciiy but New York—" "Yes, or no!imperiously. "Hang it, madam!" Her hand went toward the electric b u t t o n . " " " "To the end of the world, and no questions asked." Her hand dropped. "Thank yoji gently. "furiosity is something. we can't help; otherwise X should;not be here, ass that I am! Chivalry isn't all dead. ^ If you are in trouble depend upon me;-only X must be back In Mew York by tomorrow night." "You will not leave the city. You have no fear?" *'I should not be bere else." "Oh, but you must be imagining all sorts of terrible things". "I am doing some thinking, I'll admit. How easily a woman can make a fool of a man!" "Sometimes." "X am a shining example. How you must have laughed at me! A pretty woman has more power over a man's destiny than all the signs of the Zodiac put together. And it's perfectly natural that he should want to kiss her. Isn't it?" "I am4 not a man," "A saint yourself in Put I gasped. This was what the old. would have tripped, my place—" "Thank you; I am perfectly satisfied." "A beautiful woman asks me to enter her carriage—" "And, thinking that I had mistaken you for some one X knew, you kissed me!"—derisively. "Well, I believed you to be some classic adventuress." "And you are sure I am not?" "Positive now. You see, I have considerable money on my person." "Wouldn't it be wise for you to hand it over to some policeman to keep for you till tomorrow? Do not take any unnecessary risks. You do not dream into what I am leading you." The carriage suddenly stopped. "The journey is at an end," she said. "So soon?" A moment later the door opened, and I stepped out to assist her to alight. She waved me aside. We stood in front of some millionaire's palace. It was golden with illumination. "Follow me " she said, as she lightly mounted the steps. I followed. . . . Here, in New York, the most unromantic city in alf the wide world! I was suddenly seized with nervousness and a partial failure of the cardiac organs to perform their usual functions. She turned to me. "There Is yet time." " "Time for what?" "Time to run." "There was a moment. . . Lead on,"—quietly. I thought of the young man with the cream tarts. She touched a bell, and the door was quickly opened, admitting us into the hall. A servant took our belongings. "Dinner is served, miss." said the servant, eying me curiously, even suspiciously. It appeared that I was to dine! What the deuce did it all mean? A dinner at supper-time! I followed her into the dining-room, fortunately, I was in evening dress. I should at least be presentable, and as cool as ar.y man in the room. Around the table, covered with exquisite linen. s-T.ver und gl«Sfi, sat a. party of elegantly dressed men and women. At the sip-ht of us the guests rose confusedly and made toward us with shouts of laughter, inquiry and admiration. They gathered round my companion and plied lur with a hundred questions, occasionally stealing a glance at me. I ?aw at once that I stood among a party of ultra-smart people. Somehow I felt that I represented a part in their mad pastimes. "Where did you find him?" cried cne. "Was it difficult?" aaked another. 'Til wager he didn't need much urging!" roared a gentleman with a rubicund nose. "He is positively good-looking!" said one woman, eying me boldly. I bowed ironically, and she looked at her neighbor as if to say: "Why, the animal understands what I say!" "My friends/' said the girl, ^waving her hand toward me, "I have paid my detestable forfeit." Her tones did not bespeak any particular enjoyment. A wager! r stood alone, hay face burning with chagrin. I could feel my ears growing, like the very ass that I was. A wager! "To table!" cried the gentleman 1th the rubicund nose. Evidently all thH ddnhtXeir^rtkes : you' a* rather extraordinary." "Very extraordinary," I replied. "To dine under such circumstances is not accorded to every man." "To which do you refer: the honor or the modus operandi?" "Both. Now, an explanation is due you." "So I observe/'—gravely. "The pleasure 1b mine. To begin with, permit me to introduce you to my guests/' One by one he named them, the ladies and gentlemen. X had heard of them ail. Money had made them famous. "As for myself, X am Daniel Aimaworth; this is my home. I dare say you have heard of me." "I have won money on your horses, sir/'—with all the gravity of expression I found possible to assume. My remark was greeted with laughter. My host, composing his lips, re* sumed. "And now, sir, whom have X the honor to address?" "I am the author of many a famous poem,"—tranquilly. "Ah!" "Yes; anonymous. Sir, my name would mean nothing to you or your guests; X am poor." There was a trace of admiration in the girl's eyes as she turned her head. "Besides," I went on, "I want a little revenge." "Good!" bawled my host; "good! You're a man of kidney, sir, A gentleman Is always a gentleman; and X do not need to look at you twice, sir, to note that my niece's choice has been a happy one." "You have not introduced me to your niece," said I, "who is, next to myself, the most important guest at the table." "Hang me! The young lady at your side is Miss Helen Berkeley, the best horsewoman in the state, if X do say so myself." Great applause, as they say in the press gallery. I looked squarely at the girl, but she was idly busy turning her empty wine-glass slowly round and round. "I appreciate the honor, sir," I said; "but now will you favor me with the modus operandi, or, to be particular, the reason of all this mystery?" "I approach that at once. This is leap year, as you will recollect. On January first I gave a leap-year party, and In the spirit of fun each lady present declared her intention of bringing to a series of late dinners a gentleman whom none of us knew, either by sight or by reputation. He was to be lured into a carriage by some story or other, and was not to know tho true state of things till he sat at the table. My. niece was the last on the list. Those who backed down were to give a house-party of a week's length. Women detest house-parties, and that is the one reason why this comedy has gone down the line without a failure. "Now, Nell, tell us how you lured Mr. Anonymous intd^your carriage." Very quietly she recounted the tale. She omitte^ but one incident. "In front of! a club!" cried the ladies in uniBon. "Why fn the world didn't we think of that?" "Miss Berkeley has omitted one thing," said I maliciously. "And, pray, what?" asked Miss Berkeley's uncle. "Remember/' she whispered, "you are* supposed to be a gentleman." I took umbrage at the word "suprosed," "Miss Berkeley must tell you what she has omitted in the courso of her narrative."

Tho guests resumed their chairs noisily. The girl faced me. and for a space it was a battle of the eyes, "Will you do me the honor?" she said half-mockingly. nodding toward the only vacant chair at the table. "Would it not be wise for me to go at once?" I asked quietly. "If you do not sit at the table with me, I lose. But please yourself,"— wearily. "It has all been very distasteful to me." "I shall stay to the bitter end. My conceit and assurance need a bing." I offered her my arm. druh- The host rose, and, leaning on his finger-tips, he addressed xn*; "Sir. should find my case proved; if she cried, i was wrong." "And?" "She did neither.

It was almost time for me to go! "I was going to ask your pardon/' said the uncle in his hunter-voice; "but I think you have been paid for your trouble.

X was still an unknown quantity. g X "My hat, my coat, and the Way to the dcor, for I presume you nave no further use for me." ^ My reply appealed to the guests as monstrous funny. It was some time ere the laughter subsided. My host seemed to be threatened with an attack of apoi>lexy. "My dear sir," said he, "I beg of you to remain, not as a source for' our merriment, but as the chief guest of honor, I believe you have Won that place." I turned to Miss Lorkeley. "Do you bfd me remain?" Silence. I placed my hand on the back of my chair, preparatory to sliding it from under me. She stayed me. "Do not go,"—softly., "X haven't had my revenge." I sat down.

By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington, March 4.—With all the compressive ceremony that properly ac- «*eompanies such a great occasion, fWopdrow Wilson was inaugurated esideht of the United States today. Just before that big event, which took lace on a platform in front of the t portico of the capitol, Thomas R. H Marshall took the oath as vice-presient. va* As the new chief executive of the n^etood with bared head, Ed- Douglass White, chief justice of Supreme court, held before him Bible always used in the cerey. Mr. Wilson placed his hands Unhook and in a voice Btrong, gn somewhat affected by emotion, re to support the Constitution and laws of the country and to perform i i i M duties of his high office to the best his ability. homas Riley Marshall swore feal- ;fejy to the Constitution and to tbe people in the senate chamber, where for four years it will be his duty to reside over the deliberations of the s of the upper house of conand Wilson Ride Together, tdent Taft and President-elect rode together from the White to the capitol, accompanied by .members of the congressional ttee of arrangements. The vicenit- elect also rode from the House to the capitol and in the {e with him were the senate's mt pro tempore, Senator Bacon frgia, and three members of the jssional committee of arrangevice- president-elect took the fust before noon in accordance custom and prior to its taking i president-elect. Every arrangefor the senate chamber progs had been made so that they ^iiiWVid forward easily, and with a ccrponderous grace, w Vice-President Takes Oath, admission to the senate cham- 0 witness the oath-taking of the president was by ticket; and it eedless to say every seat was pied. On the floor of the cham- Swere many former members of Senate who, because of the fact they once held membership in body, were given the privileges 1 floor. After the hall was filled it the minor officials of governtnd those privileged to witness ipremonies were seated, William I and WoodrowWilson, precedthe sergeant-at-arms and the ee of arrangements, entered te chamber. They were folliimediately by Vice-Presidentlllomas R. Marshall, leaning " t arm of the president pro the senate who, after the 04 the incoming vice-president. I place as presiding officer of ';illlSatl*a\t# and of the day's proceedpmldent and the presidential the first row of seats di« front and1 almost under the ;tK# presiding officer, ln the ibut to their left, were the vice-president-elect and two former vice-presidents of the United States, Levi P. Morton of New York and Adlai A. Stevenson of Illinois. When the distinguished company entered the chamber the senate was still under its old organization. The oath of office was immediately administered to Vice-President-elect Marshall, who thereupon became Vice- President Marshall. The prayer of the day was given by the chaplain of the senate, Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce, pastor of All Souls' Unitarian, church, of which President Taft has been a member. After the prayer the vice-president administered 1\e oath of office to all the newly chesen senators, and therewith the senate of tho United States passed for the first time in years into th$ control of the Democratic party. Go to Capitol's East Portico. Immediately after the senate ceremonies a procession was formed to march to the platform of the east port * of the capitol, where WoodroW Wilson was to take the oath. The procession included the president and the president-elect, members of the Supreme court, both houses of congress, all of the foreign ambassadors, all of the heads of the executive departments, many governors of states and territories, Admiral Dewey of the navy and several high officers of the sea service, the chief of staff of the army and many distinguished persons from civil life. They were followed by the members of the press and by those persons who had succeeded in securing seats in the senate galleries When President Taft and the president- elect emerged from the capitol on to the portico they saw in front of them, reaching far back into the park to the east, an immense concourse of citizens. In the narrow line between the onlookers- and the platform on which Mr. Wilson was to take the oath, were drawn up the cadets of the two greatest government schools, West Point and Annapolis, and flanking them were bodies of regulars and of national guardsmen? The whole. scene was charged with color and with life. On reaching the platform the president and president-elect took the seats reserved for them, seats which were flanked by many rows of benches rising tier on tier for the accommodation of the friends and families of the officers of the government and of the press. Mr. Wilson Inaugurated. The instant that Mr. Taft and Mr. Wilson came within sight of the crowd there was a great outburst of applause, and the military bands struck quickly into "The Star Spangled Banner." Only a few bars of the music were played and then soldiers and civilians became silent to witness respectfully the oath taking and to listen to the address which followed. The chief justice of the Supreme m "l will/' became president of the United States. As soon as this ceremony was completed Woodrow Wilson delivered his inaugural address, his first speech to his fellow countrymen in the capacity of their chief executive. At the conclusion of the speech the bands played once more, and William Howard Taft, now ex-president of the United States, entered a carriage with the new president and, reversing the order of an hour before, sat on the left hand side of the carriage, while Mr. Wilson took "the seat of honor" on the right. The crowds cheered as they drove away to the White House, which Woodrow Wilson entered as the occupant and which William H. Taft immediately left as one whose lease had expired. Parade Is Elaborate. The "Jeffersonian simplicity" which Woodrow Wilson requested should be observed in every detail of his inauguration as president did not apply to the inaugural parade, for it was as elaborate as such an affair usually is. The people wanted it so, and they showed their appreciation of the spectacle by turning out by the hundred thousand and cheering wildly as the marchers passed with bands playing loudly and flags waving bravely. The newly inaugurated president reviewed the procession and smiled his approval as he returned the salutes Of the commanding officers, for all the glittering show had been arranged in his honor. Pennsylvania avenue, from the capitol to the White House, was full of color, musicjand movement. The inhibition or the inaugural ball and of the planned public reception at the capitol had no effect as a bar to tbe attendance at this ceremony of changing presidents. Masses were here to see, and other masses were here to march. There was a greater demonstration while the procession was passing than, there was four years ago. Victory had come to a party which had known nothing like victory for a good many years. The joy of possession found expression in steady and abundantly noisy acclaim. President Taft and President-elect Wilson were escorted down the avenue by the National Guard troop of cavalry of Essex county, New Jersey. The carriage in which rode Vice- President-elect Marshall and President pro tempore Bacon of tho United States senate was surrounded by the members of the Black Horse troop of the Culver Military academy "of Indiana. This is the first time in the history of inaugural ceremonies that a guard of honor has escorted a vicepresident to the scene of his oath taking. Parade Is Miles Long* The military apdHhe civil parade, a huge affair w^hicji Btretched its length for miles a*long the Washington streets, formed on the avenues radiating from the capitol. After Presidentelect Wilson had become President Wilson and Vice-President-elect Marshall had become Vice-President Marshall, they went straightway from the capitol to the White House and thence shortly to the reviewing stand in the park at the mansion's front. The parade, with Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, United States army, as its grand marshal, started from the capitol grounds to move along the avenue to the White House, where it was to pass In review. The trumpeter sounded "forward march" at tho instant the signal was flashed from the White house that in fifteen minutes the newly elected president and commanderin- chief of the armies and navies of the United States would be ready to review "his troops." It was thought that the parade might court delivered the oath to the presi lack some of the picturesque features dent-elect, who, uttering the words,!wpehoipclhe particularly appealed to the gn former occasions. There were Indians and rough riders here not only when Roosevelt was inaugu- * 1 1 1 1 rated, but when he went out of office and was succeeded by William H. Taft. The parade, however, in honor of Mr. Wilson seemed to be picturesque enoughs in its features to appeal to theJ multitudes. They certainly ma4^\noise enough ower itf ;' ,~\ 7*b:e? processidri was in' division's, with General Wood as the grand marshal of the whole affair and having a place at its head. The display, in the words invariably used on like occasions, was "impressive and brilliant." Regulars Have Right of Way. The regulars of the country's two armed service naturally had the right of way. Maj. Gen. W. W. Wotherspoon, United States army, was in command of tho first division, in which marched the soldiers and sailors and marines from the posts and the navy yards within a day's ride of Washington. The West Point cadets and the midshipmen from the naval academy at Annapolis, competent be? yond other corps in manual and in evolution, the future generals and admirals of the army, had place in the first division. All branches of the army service were represented in the body of regulars— engineers, artillery, cavalry, infantry and signal corps. The sailors and marines from half a dozen battleships rolled along smartly in the wake of their landsmen brethren. The National Guard division followed the division of regulars. It was commanded by Brig. Gen. Albert L. Mills, United States army, who wore the medal of honor given him for conspicuous personal gallantry at the battle of San Juan hill. General Miljs^s the chief of the militia division of the United States war department. The entire National Guard of New Jersey was in line, and Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Maine and North Carolina were represented by bodies of civilian soldiers. Cadets from many of the private and state military schools of the country had a place in-the militia division. Among them were boys from the Virginia Military institute, the Culver Military Academy of Indiana, the Carlisle school, Purdue university, the Citadel cadets and the Georgia Military academy. T%e third division of the parade was composed of Grand Army of the Republic veterans, members of the Union Veteran league and of the Spanish war organizations. Gen. James E. Stuart of Chicago, a veteran of both the Civil and the Spanish wars, was in command. Harper Leads Civilians. Robert N. Harper, chief marshal of the civic forces, commanded the fourth division. Under his charge were political organizations from all parts of the country, among them being Tammany, represented by 2,000 of its braves, and Democratic clubs from 1 Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other cities. They put the American Indians into the civilian division. The fact that they were in war paint and feathers helped out in picturesqueness and did nothing to disturb the peace. Members of the United Hunt Clubs of America rode in this division. Their pink coats and their high hats apparently were not thought to jar "Jeffersonian simplicity" from its seat. Pink coats were worn on the hunting field in Jefferson's day and in Jefferson's state. There were 1,000 Princeton students in the civic section of the parade. Many of them wore orange and black sweaters and they were somewhat noisy though perfectly proper. Students from seventeen other colleges and universities were among the marchers. There was music enough for any democratic occasion. The judicious distribution of the bands prevented the clashing of tunes. There were fifty bands in line, but only one of them, the Marine band, was allowed to play "hail to the Chief," a tune which every band on an occasion like this hitherto has insisted on playing almost incessantly, to the routing of everything else known to the composers of the past. Great Enthusiasm Shown. All along Pennsylvania avenue, from the capitol to a point four block beyond the White House, the spectators were massed in lines ten deep. The cheering was constant and Woodrow Wilson cannot complain that the ceremonies attending his induction into ' office were not accompanied by ap-1 parently heartfelt acclaim of the people over whonr he is to rule for at least four years. Every window in every building on Pennsylvania avenue which is not occupied for office purposes was rented weeks ago for a good round sum of money. Every room overlooking the marching parade was taken by as many spectators as cound find a vantage point from which to peer through the window panes. The roofs of tho buildings were covered with persons willing to stand for hours in a March day to see the wonders of the inaugural parade, and many of them particularly glad of an opportunity to go home and to say that after many years waiting they had seen a Democratic president inaugurated. jm^ m mm © I I B a i c k a b h e ihd W e d o n o t a s k y o u t o b u y - j u s t s e n d y o u r n a m e a n d a d d r e s s a n d r e c e i v e a s a m p l e b o t t l e free.

ECZEMA IN RED BLOTCHES 205 Kanter Ave., Detroit, Mich.— "Some time last summer I was taken with eczema. It began in my hair first with red blotches, then scaly, spreading to my face. The blotches were red on my face, dry and scaly, not large; on my scalp they were larger, some scabby. They came on my hands. The inside of my hands were all little lumps as though full of shot about one-sixteenth of an inch under the skin. Then they went to the outside and between and all over my fingers. It also began on the bottoms of my feet and the calves of my legs, and itch, oh, my! I never had anything like it and hope I never will again. The itching was terrible. My hands got so-f could scarcely work. "I tried different eczema ointments but without results. I also took medicine for it but it did no good. I saw the advertisement for a sample of Cuticura Ointment and Soap and sent for one.

We Boat Rory." course of a cpuntry stroll, William Wouldhave, the inventor of the self-righting life boat, came across a woman who asked his help in lifting a heavy vessel of water just drawn from the well. On the surface of the water there floated the broken half of a wood bowl Wouldhave was drawn into conversation, and like many another who cannot keep his hands quiet while he talks, he idly toyed with the floating piece of wood. Naturally he turned It over, and found to his surprise that it immediately righted itself. He inverted it again with the same result, and since he was at the time actually at work on the problem of an unsinkable boat, he immediately * realized the importance of his chance discovery. It is an experiment that any ono can readily make for himself. AU you require is the fourth part of a hollow "prolate spheroidor, to put it in more homely language, the quarter of a cocoanut shell split from end to end. Put the shell, in a bowl of water, and you will find that it wilt not remain capsized, hut will return at once to an even keel. In scientific language, it will float only with the convex surface downward. Any child knows that if you cut up a broken rubber ball you get five or six nice little round-bottomed, highended boats. It remained for William Wouldhave to discover that thoso are all little self-righting life boats.

Hard coal companies increased the wages of their employes $4,000,000 a year by the strike agreement of last May and increased the price of anthracite to consumers $13,450,000, according to a report based on an investigation by the bureau of labor submitted to the house. The report submitted by Secretary Nagel is the result of an investigation conducted in response to a house resolution asking for the "elements of cost and profit included in the present high price of anthracite." An average increase of 26 cents a ton in wholesale coal price's was discovered to have been made since the strike agreement of last May. In spite of the fact that the workers benefited about $4,000,000 in increased wages during the year, the report adds that "the recent increases in prices have been more than sufficient to compensate fully those companies whose costs of production have increased more rapidly during recent years, and at the same time have very greatly increased the profits of those companies, of whom there are several whose costs of production either decreased or remained stationary during the same period."

Provisional President Victoriano Huerta who was swept into office on a wave of bloodshed, has begun to temper his "iron hand methods" by making concessions to the chiefs of the various insurgent bands. Taking the advice of his counsellors in the cabinet Huerta is satisfying as far as possible the personal ambitions, by promising them appointments to the army or promising them governorships. Eufemio Zapata, brother of Kmiliano Zapata, the insurgent loader in Morelos, has been promised the post of governor of that state. Emiliano Zapata and Pascual Orozco, Jr., are the latest recruits who have deserted their insurgent banners and pledged their loyalty to the government. Orozco will be made an officer in the standing army and Zapata's terms were as follows: He will retain command of 700 horsemen who slfall be recognized as part of the Mexican army. Zapata will not be called on for service outside of the state of Morelos, but will be kept' there to put down bandit risings. Mexico Warned Not to Kill Hostile Leaders. A warning has been served on the Mexican government that the whole sale execution of anti-government leaders will not be tolerated. The warning which was friendly in tone and couched in diplomatic language made plain the principle of the state department that the United States does not wish to interfere in the affairs of another nation. At the same time, however, it was pointed out that the laws of humanity must be obeyed no matter how serious the stress of conditions confronting a government. The note was handed to Senor de la Barra, Mexican secretary of state for foreign affairs, by United States Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson. It was received in a spirit of friendship and copies were later taken to President Huerta and the cabinet. AH housewives have a grease pot, but they should make it plural, Instead of singular, and have pots. The greases from various kinds of meats are the most valuable by-products from the kitchen, if isolated from each other. Dumped carelessly into a common pot, they are fit only for the old-fashioned soap pot. Divided and subdivided they will not only enhance the flavor of the kitchen products, but they will largely contribute to the saving of money. Every one knows that pork grease is a fine thing in which to fry sweet potatoes, and that it gives them a bet- ^ter flavor than lard or butter, but does every ont> know that ham grease is the best of all? Or, that beef drippings make fried potatoes a joy? Or, that lamb fat is the finest thing in which to warm over lima beans? What is needed in the kitchen is not a grease pot, but a number of them. The drippings from beefsteak should go into one; that is, the fat which is always cut off from beefsteak, and which the housewife should ask the butcher to give her; it has a flavor which no other part of the beef fat has, and to this should be added the scraplings of the beefsteak platter, too often, alas! consigned to the garbage pall. The skimmings from beef stews, and from beef roasts should be put into this pot, and the whole reserved for the frying of white potatoes, and for the flavoring of the lard in which "French fried" potatoes are cooked. Lard is a perfectly wholesome element in which to cook food, provided that some savory flavor be added to it. The grease from sausage and pork chops, kept in a separate pot, can be added to it, in case one wishes to fry sweet potatoes or parsnips, which are delicious, with this flavor permeating them. Lamb stews, the juice from lamb chops and veal cutlets (scraped from the platter) should be kept in one pot. This is nice to add to lima bean soup or to common bean soup, and also give an unusual flavor to egg omelets and to "French toast," which is-fried in grease, after having been dipped in batter. The grease from chicken, duck and £oose well deserves a pot all by itself, for it is the aristocrat of the grease family and its uses should be- confined to the more delicate dishes. An enticing variation on the ordinary boiled cauliflower is to take a head which has previously been cooked and drained, dip it lightly in batter ;.nd fry It in chicken or fowl grease. This is the Italian method and is a wholly new dish to American tables. Asparagus lightly fried in a small but deep pot of fowl grease is also new, and when sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese can be used alone, as an entree. l i f t ! S t r a i g h t e n T h a t L a m e B a c k ! B a c k a c h e is one o f Nature's warnings of kidney weakness. K i d n e y disease kills thousands e v e r y year. Safety is only certain i f the early w a r n i n g s are heeded w h i l e help is possible. Doan's K i d n e y Pills have helped m a n y thousands to get r i d of backache, strengtfWvweak kidneys and regulate bladder and urinary disorders. Don't neglect a bad back. If your back is lame in the morning, if it hurts to stoop or lift, if the dull aching keeps up all day, makmg work a burden and rest impossible—suspect the kidneys. If the urine is off color and shows a sediment; if passages are irregular, too frequent, too scanty, or scalding, this is further proof. There may be dizzy spells, headaches, nervousness, dropsy swellings, rheumatic attacks, and a general tired-out, run-down condition. Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy that is publicly recommended by 100,000 persons in many different lands. Doan's act quickly, contain no harmful nor habit-forming drugs and are wholly harmless, though remarkably effective. From Serious Dropsy To Perfect Health George Davis, 524 S. 23rd St., Vinccnn.es, Ind^/Sayf : "My back ached day and night I became nervous and irritable and had such headaches, I thought my head would burst. I could not work without terrible dizzy feelings and was afraid to venture far alone for fear of falling. For days at a time I could not urinate, and, Anally when the passage did take place, the odor would be stifling. My feet and arms were swollen to twice their natural size* When I touched the swollen area, a dent would remain. ! finally began using Doan's Kidney Pills and soon noticed a change for the better. The swelling in my iimbs and arms went down, the dizzy & pel Is left, and ere long 1 was in as good health as ever before in my iife." When your back hurts, when your kidneys trouble you, when you feel tired, worn-out or depressed, don'/ simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask di»tinctly /or Doan's Kidney Piilf* the same that cured Mr. Davis, and make sure the name DOAN'S is on the box.

Three pounds lean beef, one-quarter pound salt pork (chopped together at the market), three eggs well beaten, one cup cracker crumbs rolled fine, one teaspoon black pepper, two tablespoons salt. Mix the salt and pepper with the fine dry crumbs, then add them to the eggs and if needed to moisten the crumbs add a little milk; then stir all with the meat; mix thoroughly and divide into two or three small loaves, knead and press them into smooth shape. Put in a small baking pan with a little water and bake slawly for 1½ or two hours. Add water if needed to the baking pan. Brown Stew of Celery. Parboil six-inch stalky of celery in salted water for five minutes, drain and cool. Brown two tablespoonfuls of flour in butter, add two cupfuls of stock and cook until thick, stirring constantly. Season with salt, pepper and grated nutmeg. Cook the celery slowly in the sauce until tender. Arrange the celery evenly on the serving dish, strain the sauce over it, and serve immediately, very hot. Spring Clipping of Horses. The modern practice among the best posted and most progressive horse owners and farmers is to clip all horses in the spring. It is done on the theory that in their natural state horses were not obliged to work, so could shed the winter coat in comfort over a period of several weeks. Since we oblige them to do hard work on warm hpiing days, the winter coat should be removed for the same reason that we lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not take cold as easily nor are they as prone to be affected with other ailments as undipped animals whose longer hair holds the perspiration for hours. Because clipped horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get more good from their food and come out in the morning refreshed and fit for work. Since the advent of the ball bearing enclosed gear clipping machine, the work of taking off the winter coat is easy. With the machine a horse can be clipped all over in half an hour, whereas with the old two- ;hand clipper it required several hours to do it. Dairymen also now clip the cows all over two or three times a year. The flanks and udders are clipped every three or four weeks, so it is easy to clean the parts before milking. This means less opportunity for dirt and other impurities to get into the milk. Nearest She Could Get. "So Betty didn't marry a lord after all?"

B E A B O O S T E R B u i l d U p Y o u r H o m e T o w n What makes some other town look better than this is having bet ter boosters. This town was built around the first store not the around first mail order catalogue. A fellow loves to look at a girl's picture; but before he marries her he wants to hold her hand. Our grand-dads built this town by patronizing it they never figured that we would do otherwise. Some folks seem to think that all that is needed to make a town is & postoffice and a freight house. The freight house does'nt add anything to the looks of the town; but that is all the mail-order patron helps to build Tbe man who wonders why there isn't more work for a, fellow in this neighbor hood is] sometimes the very ckap who is giving employment to a mail order crew somewhere else.

F A R M H E L P A S o l u t i o n O f f e r e d f o r T h a t D i f f i c u l t P r o b l e m At a recent meeting of the Commercial club at Howell the question of farm help was brought up aud it was suggested the secretary of the club endeavor to find a solution for the problem. While in Detroit recently the secretary, A . Riley Crittenden, went around to the free employment bureau managed by tbe state, shortly before it was opened in the morning. Probably a hundred men were waiting in hopes of finding work. He took the matter up with several of them and a number of thern expressed themselves as very ready to leave the city if they had a chance. "I have often heard," said one young man," that there was all all kinds of farm work to be bad so I went out into the country and tried for it. They didn't know me and were afraid to try me. The only jbhing I got was to be called a tramp and bave the dog sicked on me. After the morning grist was ground out the secretary took the matter up with the superintendant of the bureau. "There are hundreds of men in Detroit," said he,"who have drifted to the city from the country who would be mighty glad to drift back if they had a chance. This bureau could supply picked help both men and woman, for all the farms in your county. "The bureau is maintained at state expense. The farmers help to pay for it. We shall be glad to give them a good service foi their money." This puts it right up to the farmers themselves. It will cost you nothing but a letter. Write to State Free Employment Bureau, ^Detroit, Mich., and tell them what £ou want. W A N T C O L U M N R e n t s , R e a l E s t a t e , F o u n d L o s t , W a n t e d , E t c .

'In certain districts after a girl has reached an age where her securing for herself a husband is considered doubtful, she becomes s "daughter of the king." That is, the king takes upon himself the task of settling her suitably in life. His process is quite simple, and to the point. He proceeds to the Siamese penitentiary and looks over the various prisoners. There is a law in Siam that any prisoner can obtain his release by marrying one of this class of girls, and, naturally enough, any pisoner whom the king picks out is not likely to be backward about consenting to the ceremony. Nor does it make any difference if he is married, for the men of that country are not restricted to one wife. As far as can be learned, there is no allowance made for the inclination Of the girl in question. She has failed In her mission in life as far as she herself is concerned, and she must abide by the decision of the king. Cream Corn Soup.

Agatha's maid, arrives CHAPTER XV.—Continued. "That is true, Lizzie; it was irregular, and certainly very inconvenient. And it is serious enough, so far as breaking my engagements is concerned. But the circumstances were very unusual and—pressing. Some one else gave the message at the hotel, and, as you know, I had no time even to get a satchel." "That's what I said when the reporters came—that you were so worried over your sick relative that you did not wait for anything." Agatha groaned. "Did—-did the papers have much to say about my leaving town?" "They had columns, Miss Redmond, and some of them had your picture on the front page with an announcement of your elopement. But Mr. Straker contradicted that; he told them he had heard from you, and that you were at the bedside of a dying relative. Besides that, Miss Redmond, the difficulty in getting up an elopement story was the lack of a probable man. Your manager and your accompanist were both found and interviewed, and there wasn't anybody else in New York except me who knew you. Your discretion, Miss Redmond, has always been remarkable." Agatha was suddenly tired of Lizzie. "Very well, Lizzie, that will do. You may go and get your own things unpacked We / shan't return to New York for several days yet." "You've heard from Mr. Straker, of course, Miss Redmond?" "No, but I have written to him, explaining everything. Why?" "Oh, nothing; only when I sent him word that I had heard from you, he said at first that he was coming here with me. Some business prevented him, but he must have telegraphed." "Maybe he has; but it takes some time, evidently, for a hidden person to be discovered in IUon." As soon as the words were off her lips, Agatha realized that she had made a slip. One has to look sharp when talking' to a sophisticated maid. "But were you hiding, Miss Redmond V* Lizzie artlessly inquired. "Oh, no, Lizzie; don't be silly. The telegram, probably went wrong; telegrams often do." "Not when, Mr. Straker sends them," proffered Lizzie, "But if his telegrams have gone, wrong, you may count on his coming down here himself. He is much worried over the rehearsals, which begin early in the month, he said. And he got tho full directions you sent me for coming here; he would have them.'* Agatha knew her manager's pertinacity when once on the track of an object. Moreover, the humor of the situation passed from her mind, leaving only a vivid impression of the trouble and worry which were sure to follow such a serious breaking up of well established plans. She was rarely capricious, even under vexation, but she yielded to a caprice a} this moment, and one, moreover, that was very unjust toward her much-tried manager. The thought of that man bursting in upon her in the home that had been the fastidious Herculea Thayer's, in the midst of her anxiety and sorrow over James Hambleton, was intolerable. "If Mr. Straker should by any chance follow; me here, you mast toll Him that I can not see him>" she bald. and departed, leaving Lizzie wrapped in righteous indignation. "Well, I never!" she exclaimed, after her mistress had disappeared. ''Can't see" him, after coming all this way! And into a country like this, too, where there's only one bath-tub, and you fill that from a pump in the yard!" CHAPTER XVI. A Fighting Chance. The dining-room of the old red house was cool, and fragrant from the blossoming heliotrope bed below its window. The twilight, which is long in eastern Maine, shed a soft glow over the old mahogany and silver, and an equally soft and becoming radiance over the two women seated at the table. After a sonorous blessing, uttered by Mrs. Stoddard in tones full of unction, she and Agatha ate supper in a sympathetic silence. It was a meal upon which Sallie, Kingsbury expended her best powers as cook, with no mean results; but nobody took much notice of it, after all. Mrs. Stoddard poured her tea into her saucer, drinking and eating absentmindedly. Her face lighted with something very like a smile whenever she oaught Agatha's eyes, but to her talk was not necessary. Sallie hovered around the door, even though Lizzie had condescended to put on a white apron and serve. But Agatha sent the city maid away, bidding her wait on the people in the sick-room instead. Mr. Hand had been left with the patient and had acquiesced in the plan to stay on duty until midnight, when Mrs. Stoddard was to bo called. Agatha had spent an hour with James, helping Mrs. Stoddard or watching the patient while the nurse made many necessary trips to the kitchen. The sight of James' woeful plight drove every thought from her mind. Engagements and managers lost their leality, and became shadow memories beside the vividness of his desperate noed. He had no knowledge of her, or of any efforts to secure his comfort. He talked incessantly, sometimes in a soft, unintelligible murmur, sometimes in loud and emphatic tones. His eyes were brilliant but wandering, his movements were abrupt or violent, heedless or feeble, as the moment decreed. He talked about the dingy, nasty fo'cas'le, the absurdity of his not being able to get around, the fine outfit of the Sea Gull, the chill of the water. He sometimes swore softly, almost apologetically, and he uttered most unchristian sentiments toward some person whom he ^escribed as wearing extremely neat and dandified clothes. After tbe*4rst five minutes Agatha ^aldH no heed to his words, and could tear to stay in the room only when she was able to do something to soothe or comfort him. She was not wholly unfamiliar with illness and the trouble that comes in its train, but the sight of James, with his unrecognizing eyes and his wits astray, a superb engine gone wild, brought a sharp and hitherto unknown pain to her throat. She stood overvhis bed, holding his hands when he would* reach frenziedly into the air after some object of his feverish desire; she coaxed him back to his pillow when he fancied he must run to catch something that was escaping him. It took nerve and strength to care for him; unceasing vigilance and ingenuity were required in circumventing his erratic movements. ' Arid through it all there.was something about his clean, honest mind and person that stirred only affectionate pity. He was a child, taking a child's liberties. Mrs. Stoddard brooded over him already, as a mother over her dearest son; Mr Hand had turned gentle as a woman and gave the service of love, not of the eye. His skill in managing almost rivaled Mrs. Stoddard's. James accepted Hand's ministrations as a matter of course, became more docile under his treatment, and watched for him when he disappeared. Indeed, the whole household was taxed for James; and Agatha, deeply distressed as she was, throbbed with gratitude that she could help care for him, if only for an hour. Thus it was that the two women, eating their supper and looking out over Hercules Thayer's pleasant garden, were silent. Mrs. Stoddard was thinking about the duties of the night. Agatha was swallowed up in the miseries of the last hour. Mrs. Stoddard was the first to rise. She was tipping off on her fingers a number of items which Agatha did not catch, saying "rlrat" and "Yes!" to herself. Despite her deep anxiety, Mrs. Stoddard wat in her element She had nothing less than genius in nursing. She was cheerful, quick in emergencies, steady under the excitement of the sick-room, and faithful in small, as well as large, matters. Moreover, she excelled most doctors in her ability to interpret changes and symptoms, and in her ingenuity in dealing with them. Her two days with James had given her an understanding of the case, and she was ready with new devices for his relief. Agatha finished her tea and joined Mrs* Stoddard as she stood looking out! into the twilight, seeing things not visible to the outward eye. "Yes, that's it," she ended abruptly, thinking aloud; then including Agatha without any change of tone, she went on: "I think we'd better change our plans a little. I'm going up-stairs now to stay while your Mr. Hand goes over to the house for me. There are several things I want from home." Agatha had no conception of having an opinion that was- contrary to Mrs. Stoddard's, so completely was she won by her tower-like strength. "You know, Mrs. Stoddard," she said earnestly, "that I want to be told at once, if—if there is any change." "I know, child," the older woman replied, with a faraway look. "We are in the Lord's hands. He taketh the young in their might, and he healeth them that are nigh unto death We can only wait his will." Agatha was the product of a different age and u different system of thought. But she was still young, and the pressure of the hour revived in her some ghost of her Puritan ancestral faith, longing to become a reality in her heart again, if only for this dire emergency. Sho turned, eager but painfully embarrassed, to Mrs. Stoddard, detaining her by a touch on her arm. "But you said, Mrs. Stoddard," she implored, "that the prayer of faith shall heal-the sick. And I have been praying, too; 1 have tried to summon my faith. Do^ou believe that it counts—for good?" Mrs. Stoddard's rapt gaze blessed Agatha, Her faith and courage were of the type that rise according to need. She drew nearer to her sanctuary, to the fountain of her faith, as her earthly peril waxed, fcer voice rang with confidence as she almost chanted: "No striving toward God Is ever lost, dear child; He is with us In our sorrow, even as in our joy." Her strong hand closed over Agatha's for a moment, and then her steady, slow steps sounded.on the stairs. Agatha went into the parlor, whose windows opened upon the piazza, and from there wandered down the low steps to the lawn. It was growing dusk, a still, comfortable evening. Over the lawn lay the indescribable freshness of a region surrounded by many trees and acres of grass. Presently the old hound, Danny, came slowly from his kennel in the back yard, and paced the grass beside Agatha, looking up often with melancholy eyes into her face. Here was a living relic of her mother's dead friend, carrying in his countenance his sorrow for his departed master. Agatha longed to comfort him a little, convey to him the thought that she would love him and try to understand bis nature, now that his rightful master was gone. She talked Boftly to him, calling him to her but not touching him. Back and forth they paced, the old dog following closer arid closer to Agatha's heels. Back of the house was a path leading diagonally acrops to the wall which separated Parson Thayer's place from the meeting-house. The dog seemed intent on following this path. Agatha humored liim. climbed the low stile and entered the churchyard. As the hound leaped tho stile after her, he wagged his tall and appeared happy. Agatha remembered that Sallie had told her, on the day of her arrival, of the dog, and how he was accustomed to walk every ovening with his master. Doubtless they sometimes walked here, among the silent company assembled in the churchyard; and the minister's silent friend was now having the peculiar satisfaction of doing again what he had once done with his master. Thus the little acre of the dead had its claim on life, and its happiness for throbbing hearts. Agatha called the old dog to her again. This time he came near, rubbed hard against her dress, and, when phe sat down on a flat tombstone, laid his head comfortably in her lap, wagging his tail in satisfaction. Danny was a companion who did not obstruct thought, but encouraged It; and as Agatha sat resting on the stone with Danny close by, in th*f quiet yard full of the noiseless ghost*! of tfce past, ': < r thought went back to James. His unnatural eyes and rest^ less spirit haunted her. She thought of that other night on tho water, full of heartbreaking struggle as it was, as a happy night compared to the one which was yet to come. She realized their foolish talk while they were on the beach, and smiled Badly over it. Her courage was at the ebb. She felt that the buoyancy of spirit' that had sustained them both during the night of struggle could never revisit the wasted and disorganized body lying in Parson Thayer's house—her house. A certain practical sense that was , strong la her rose and questioned whether she had done everything that could be done, for his welfare. She thought so. Had she not even prayed, with all her concentration of mind and will? She heard again Susan Stoddard's deep voice: "No striving toward God is ever lost!" In spite of her unfaith, a sense of rest in a power larger tyan herself came upon her unawares. Danny, who had wandered away, came back and sat down heavily on the edge of her skirt, close to her. "Good Danny!" she praised, petting him to his heart's content. It was thus that Aleck Van Camp found them, as he came over the stile from the house. His tones were slower and more precise than ever, but his face was drawn and marked with anxiety. He had a careful thought for Agatha, even in the face of his greater trouble. "You have chosen a bad hour to wander about, Miss Redmond. The evening dews are heavy." "Yes, I know; Danny and I were just going home. Have you been into tlu house?" "Yes, I left Doctor Thayer there in consultation with the other physician that came today. They sent me off. Old Jim—well, you know as well as I do. With your permission, I'm going to stay the night. I'll bunk in the hall, or anywhere. Don't think of a bed for me; I don't want one." "I'm glad you'll stay. It seems, somehow, as if every one helps; that is, every one who cares for him." "Doctor Thayer thinks there will be a change tonight, though it is difficult to tell. Jim's family have my telegram by this time, and they will get my letter tomorrow, probably. Anyway, I shall wait until morning before I send another message." The tension of their thoughts was too sharp; they turned for relief to the scene before them, stopping at the stile to loolc back at the steepled white church, standing under its spreading balm-of-Gilead tree. "It seems strange," said Agatha, "to think that I sat out there under that big tree as a little girl. Everything is so different now." "Ilion, then, was once your home?" "No, never my home, though it was once my mother's home. I used to visit here occasionally, years ^and years ago." Aleck produced his quizzical grin. "A gallant person would protest that that is incredible." "I wasn't angling for gallantry," Agatha replied wearily. "I am twenty- six, and I haven't been here certainly since I was eight years old. Eighteen years are a good many." "To youth, yes," acquiesced Aleck. "Which reminds me, by contrast, of the hermit; ho was so Incredibly old. It was he who unwittingly put me on Jim's trail. He said that the owner or proprietor of the Jeanne D'Arc waB dropped ashore on his island." "Monsieur Chatelard?" cried Agatha. "I don't know his name." "If it was Monsieur Chatelard," Agatha paused, looking earnestly at Aleck, "if it was he, It is the man who tricked me into his motor-car in New York, drugged me and carried me aboard his yacht while I was unconscious." Aleck turned a sharp, though not unsympathetic, gaze upon Agatha. "I have told no one but Doctor Thayer, and he did not believe me. But It is quite true; the wreck saved me, probably, from something worse, though I don't know what." If there had been skepticism on Aleck's face for an instant it had disappeared. Instead, there was deep concern, as he considered the case. "Had you ever seen' the man Chatelard before?" "Never to my knowledge." "Did he visit you on board the yacht?" "Only once. I was put into the charge of an old lady, a Frenchwoman, Madame Sofle; evidently a trusted chaperon, or nurse, or something like that. When I came to myself in a 1 very luxurious cabin in t^e;.^ftl^|i:vt]ti^. old woman waa talking to »«' in Frenchr—a strange medley tlj*||.i make nothing of. When I wa# ttotter she questioned me about ever^JfitWag, saying 'Mon Dieu!' at every answer I made. Then she left and was goo* £ long time; and when sho came bgclfc that man was with her. I learned aw erward that he was called Monsieur Chatelard. They both looked at me, arguing fiercely in such a furious French that I could not ; ^ r « t * r & more than half they said. They looked as if they were appraising me, like an article for sale, but Madame Sofle held out steadily, on some point, against Monsieur Chatelard, and final* ly it appeared that she converted him to her own point of view. He went away very angry, agd 1 did not tee him again, except at a distance, until the night of the wreck." "Did you find out where they were going, or who was back of their scheme?" "No, nothing; or very little. There was money involved. I could tell that. But no names were mentioned, nor any places that I can rememt?r. You see, I was ill from the effects ot ih^ chloroform, and frightened, too, I think." "I don't wonder," said Aleck, wrinkling his homely face. He remained silent while he searched, mentally, for a clue. "I found out, through my maid, who arrived today, that some one of the kidnaping party had been clever enough to send a false message to the hotel, explaining my sudden departure." "I see, I see," said Aleck, going over the story in his mind. And presently. "Where does Hand come in? And how did Jim1 happen to be aboard the Jeanne D'Arc?" "Hand waB some sort of henchman to Monsieur Chatelard, I believe. And he told me that your cousin was picked up in New York harbor, swimming for life, it appeared. No one seemed to know any more." Aleck stopped short, looked .at Agatha, pursed his lips for a whistle and remained Bilent. They had arrived at the porch steps, and were tacitly waiting for the doctors to descend and give them, if possible, some encouragement for the coming night. But the story of the Jeanne D'Arc had grown more complicated than Aleck had anticipated, and much was yet to be4; explained. Aleck was slow, a3 always, in thinking it through, but he figured it out, finally, to a certain point, and expressed himself thus: "That's the way with your steady fellows; they're all the bigger fools when they do jump." "Pardon me, I didn't catch—" "Oh, nothing," said Aleck, half irritably. "I only said Jim needed a poke, like that heifer over in the next field." Agatha understood tho boyish irritation, cloaking the love of the man. "You may be able to get more information about your cousin from Mr. Hand," she said. "He would be likely to know as much as anybody." "Well,--however it happened, he's here now!"!1 "Though If it had not been for his fearful struggle^or me he would not have been so ill," said Agatha miserably. Aleck, with one foot on the low step of the piazza, stopped and turned squarely toward her. His face was no less miserable than Agatha's, but behind his wretchedness and anxiety was some masculine reserve of power, and a longer view down the corridors of time. He held her eye witlj a look of great earnestness. "I love old Jim, Miss Redmond. We've been boys and men together, and good fellows always, But don't think that I'd regret his struggle for you, as you call it, even if it should mean the worst. He couldn't have done otherwise, and I wouldn't hafS had him. And if it's to be a—a home run—why, then, Jim would like that far better than to die of old age or liver complaint. It's all right, Miss Redmond." Aleck's slow words came with a double meaning to Agatha. She hpard, through them, echoes of James hambleton's boyhood; she saw a picture of his straight and dauntless youth. She held out to Aleck a hand that trembled, but her face shono with gratitude. Aleck took her hand respectfully, kindly, in his warm graBp. "Besides,11 he said simply, "we won't givd up. He's got a fighting chance yet." i (TO BE CONTINUED.) rig t h e H o m e U n h a p p y Too Frequent Losses of Temper Result In Much Misery Which Might Easily Be Avoided. Possessing apparently all the essentials that make for comfort, ease, and happiness, more than a few homes fail to give this expected result, and someone has asked: What is generally the cause of this? To put it very plainly, unnecessary exhibitions of temper more quickly than anything' else mar the harmony of a home. There may not be open strife but temper, as little rifts within the lute give out incessant discords Brothers and sisters, each, perhaps, with an- unconscious craving to manage or supnrpss the other, may never havo been 'taught to realize the powerful Influence of tact, and their little comments and bickerings will quickly rcr o disputes .that , may make the onlooking parents heartsick The husband and wife, tired with tho work of the day, irritated that their wishes have not been carried out, that on them i fall annoyance and duties which they feel Should belong to others, that difficulties, seem ever in their path, and so on, will perhaps voice their displeasure arid strike a responsive note of irritation in the rest, and quickly the whole atmosphere is charged with the poison of bitterness and resentment. A little more care in restraining temper, especially about the trivialities and nonessentials of happy exist* ence, and the peace that should reign in a home, whatever its material setting, would more often be left undis* tubbed. Exhibitions of temper in children, no matter what the cause, should always be taken sb a fault to bo eradicated. This does not crush the spirit of Indignation at wrong, or weaken the flighting instinct; but it does aid in averting hasty judgments; and give time for viewing the case from many points.—Exchange. :orrecfeC«tttipftiio,¾t ?" genuin•d ^y ¾ss¾t*¾# ^ . 1 Pills are a tonic to v^ow meV''y'^^^^'-'' *• serves.

Lotos A dance is better than a card party and a barn dance is better than a similar function in the house, considered from the viewpoint of health. Tho blood begins to circulate a little faster immediately a dance ia started and the heart has a little more work to do. There is, therefore, greater need for fresh air, to the end that the blood passing through the lungs may be properly oxygenated. Sixteen numbers, such as appear on the cards at "hops," carry the dancers over a greater distance in actual miles than soldiers parade on Memorial day. Four dances are equal to a drill night in the armory. In Dundee, Scotland, where the Caledonians are enthusiastic devotees of the dance, a statistician counted the steps in a dozen different kinds of dances. As a result it is shown that an average waltz takes a dancer over about three-quarters of a mile; a square dance makes him cover a half mile. A girl with a well-filled program travels thus in one evening: Twelve waltzes, nine miles; four other dancessajt half a mile each, two <miies; the interval strolls and"lrlps^to the dressing room, half a mile; total, eleven and a half miles. / E d u c a t i o n o f A m e r i - c a n G i r l Is D e f e c t i v e Bp PROF.

In his own kingdom of Arabia King Alfred I. lives in Oriental splendor. On his brief visit to Paris he is content to dwell in a humble hotel on the heights of Montmartre. If was here that I Bought him out. Scarcely five minutes elapsed after handing my card, hot to a royal flunky, but to a somewhat soiled waiter, before his majesty appeared. He greeted me with dignity, courtesy, affability. His august hands relieved me of my hat and umbrella while he expressed his regret at receiving me with so little show of dignity. I had approached the monarch of all Arabia with some trepidation—for after all one does not interview kings every day of the week —but his majesty's cordiality put me instantly at ease. Of Attractive Personality. King Alfred is a man of stocky build, not more than five, feet eight Inches tall. He has broad, powerful shoulders and is of upright carriage. His hair and mustache are turning gray. His complexion is browned by tropical suns and his face lean and lined. In spite of his sixty years he might easily be taken for an active cavalry officer, his energy and vivacity expressing themselves in every word and gesture. In his button bole he wears the order of trie Medjidie bestowed by Abdul IIamid. His manthirty- eight years and the world has known nothing of it. The World cor*4?e1s people know that a great country France and the benefit of mankind. In 1878 the Bmirs ruling the twelve provinces which compose Arabia desired to recognize me as their king— " 'Sir/ I murmured. "Never mind the humorous side of the title bestowed upon a simple French citizen/' said the vicomte, waving his hand and smiling. "It is easy to ridicule. To tell the truth, it has been the fear of ridicule that has kept me quiet about my work out there. I mentioned it to a dear friend. He laughed. He shrieked with amusement: The little Alfred, King of Arabia! * Since then I have tpid.no one. 4,I will accomplish great things and then next year, or the following, I wiU Alfred 1., King of Syria and Arabia, 6tHI a Citizen of France. nera are those or the old school. Forty yam spent In Armenia, Syria and Arabia have given him a familiarity with the language and customs of the east that would be hand to match in an? other man. Tikis was the atory as told by tho ting of Arabia and of Syria: •In 1874 t returned from Armenia. I had passed over the Btagol Bagh, the mountain of a thousand streams and at a terrestrial patadise, through Mesopotamia and thence to Merched on the river Euphrates, where I fell !n with a caravan of Persian merchants. They were en route for Medina and Mecca, the holy cities. MI supposed they would go by way ef Jerusalem and proposed to join them. But no. They were going by the Arabian desert route. I was amazed. How did they purpose to cross the sands and deserts of Arabia? They laughed at me. *You, too, believe in the fable of the sands?' said they. 'There are no sands and deserts upon our route; only valleys, smiling and fertile, with springs and wells of water oh every hand!' Wondrously Fertile tend. "Amazed and incredulous I went with the merchant caravan. They jpoke the truth, but, like the queen of Sheba, behold the half was not told me! 1 saw a country fertile, rich and ravishing—a land flowing with mil* of wealth is opened up; tho resources of the world will be increased immeasurably. If I have taken the title of king, it is not for my own glorification. It is not ostentation. It is that I may be useful to this country in the interests of France. I wish to leave this wonderful land as a heritage to the French nation. I have been acknowledged as ruler of these people, but I have not sacrificed my title as citizen of France. Unanimously Chosen King. "I found In the diverse provinces of Arabia a state of complete antagonism. I summoned the viziers and emirs, telling them they could choose among themselves a king who should represent the interests of the whole country and a population of nearly thirty millions; that they should cease fighting and develop the magnificent resources of the country. The emirs met. Dissension arose. They could not find among them a man whose character or Interests seemed to them a fair guarantee of disinterested judgment, Rivalries and jealousies made such a selection impossible. Therefore ono of the greatest of the chiefs proposed that I should undertake this work. They designated me for this dignity." King Alfred produced a parchment signed by a dozen of the emirs, delegates of the entire population of Arabia, of whom three millions are Christians, primitive followers of Christ and his disciples, calling themselves to this day Nazarenes and following the simple teaching of nineteen hundred years ago. At once M. le Vicomte, now king of united and independent Arabia, set to work in the organization of the army and of the administration of the country in his capital at Eyoun— a city with a population of 40,000 and growing yearly. (It has increased from 10,000 in the last. ten years to Its present population.) The king's first proclamation to his people placed the country under the protection of the Holy Virgin and among the first edicts was one for the suppression of the harem. Had Great Moral Effect. Asked whether this did not provoke a revolution, the king replied that the twenty-seven mussulmen did not oven protest. They simply continued their harems! A moral effect was, however, observable and the upgrowlng generation has largely abandoned the old practice. "Arabia Is ripe for development/* resumed King Alfred. "She can with a bound, in the same manner as the United States ef America, take her place In the world. It is her right and she has the means. Providence has chosen me to be the instrument to accomplish this work/' This is the proclamation thai King Alfred Issued to his people on the occasion of his thirtieth anniversary: Praetamtiefk Arabs: Thirty yeans ago we together founded the Independent kingdom of Almoin; for thirty years God has made me your king.

King absolute, by the Grace of God, Most High and Most Mighty, I have been careful to preserve the principle of the inviolability of the person which forms full and complete liberty to every subject None receives any favor above his neighbor. Arabs: Remember your Immortal history. In the time of the crusades your mothers, many of them coming from France/became In turn the prisoners and the wives of the conquerors.

Country Needs Development, The kingdom of Arabia is bounded on the north by the Ottoman empire; on the east its boundaries are the Gulf of Persia and the Indian ocean. On the west the Red sea and the strip of land belonging to Turkey, wherein is situated the holy city of Mecca. The Indian ocean and British Somaliland form the southern boundaries. As to the resources of the country, they are amazing, as will be seen from a glance at the map which King Alfred permits the World to copy. This map was the one made by royal hands to be submitted to the French company now building the railway which runs from £1 Arish (Port Said) to Luwa on the Gulf of CTman. As will be seen, the track runs through a territory rich in every conceivable resource and a branch line probably will also be run southward to tap the wonderful petroleum lakes discovered by Prince Wrede in 1843. Speaking of these petroleum deposits, King Alfred said: "2 expected to find a few lonely springs. But in the midst of the desert I came upon a precipitous cliff descending perpendicularly into a pit whose walls were of black basalt. One hundred and sixty feet below there lay a still and eilent lake. It was pure petrol—millions upon millions of gallons. "There is no product of the earth that is not to be found in Arabia. Look at this map. Gold, silver, copper, iron, turquoise and pearls, naphtha, petroleum, tin, lead, zinc, horses, camels, sheep and goats, fruits and wheat, and every cereal you may wish to grow." I asked the king about his civil list. It appears that his royal honorarium was for many years a matter of fluctuating gifts from his people. Now he has a stipulated income. It is paid in kind. His salary amounts to 600,000 sheep a year. NO MORE TRUE ST. BERNARDS Breed, in Its Absolute Purity, Has Died Out, but It Lingers Crossed With Other Strains. The Hospice of St. Bernard has lost much of its former importance through the, opening of the tunnels between Switzerland and Italy, but it still employs its famous dogs, writes a correspondent of the Boston Transcript. It is no longer the custom, however, to send forth the dogs alone, with baskets of food and wine; a man always accompanies them; and the animals employed are not really the famous St. Bernard breed. The true St. Bernard originated in the fourteenth century through a cross between a shepherd dog from Wales and a Scandinavian croBS-breed, half Great Dane and half Pyrenean mastiff. The last pure descendant of the tribe was buried beneath an avalanche in 1816. Those who wish to see a true St Bernard dog may do so in the Natural History mueeum at Berne, where the stuffed body of the famous Barry is preserved. A popular story has it that Barry, having gone to the rescue of a traveler, was mistaken by the man for a wolf, and shot as such; bat he seems really to have died in the course of nature at Berne nearly a hundred years ago. There is plenty of St. Bernard blood left however, crossed with other strains, and the fame of the breed can never perish. One of the happiest compliments ever paid to Gladstone was Lord Houghton's: "X haven't eeen you for ages. I live the life of a dog/' said the hard-working statesman.

Much has been eaid and written About the retreat of the Fourth and Twenty-third corps from Pulaski to Franklin, more especially the night march from Columbia to and past Sprlng-Hlll, November 29, 1864. It is often referred to as Hood's lost opportunity. In the early morning of that day General Cox was in line facing the river, obser/ing the Confederate pretense of crossing, which could not have been done if opposed by even a heavy skirmish line. When it became evident that only a feint was being made, General Wood sent Post's brigade with some cavalry to reconnoiter up. the river, writes Geo. S. Meyers of Company F, One Hundred and First Ohio, of Los Angeles, Cal., in the National Tribune. It was discovered that Hood was crossing troops at Huey's Mill and moving to the north on a converging road, which touched our line of retreat at Spring Hill. To guard against an attack of from that quarter Kimball's division* of which my regiment was a part, was halted at Rutherford's creek ami faced to the east, where we remained until late afternoon, while Wagner's division proceeded on to Spring Hill, where, with the assistance of other troops, the advanced Confederate forces were driven back from the main road. At dark General Cox withdrew from Columbus, the wagons having been dispatched in the afternoon. Kimball's division followed Cox, who wa» in turn followed by General Wood. Thus when the Confederate troops under Cheatham end Cleburne had arrived in considerable force there wae an unbroken line of blue moving along the road, which the Confederate officers declared "was too long to attack with prospect of success." General Cheatham states that in crossing at Huey's Mill the bridge wa* broken several times, that tbe entire night was spent in crossing, and that tne troops were utterly exhausted thereby, and by the march over a. nearly impassable road, with flankers out in expectation of an attack from us; that the troops had been without cooked rations for 24 hours. He also states that the grandiloquent speech Hood claim8 he made to General Cleburne and himself was not made in hid presence. It is an undisputed fact that HooA went a mile to the Confederate rear and went to bed, which would have been a very unusual proceeding on; the part of any army commander at the opening of a battle. The corps of General Lee, the largest in Hood's army, was still at Columbia. Not a piece of artillery had been gotten across the river. Hood did not expect a battle during the night; neither did he expect us to march out of the pocket before morning. The night following the first day's battle of Nashville was spent by us* around a fire, the weather being cold, and blankets we had none. A prisoner or deserter, who through some fault was not sent to the rear, sat through the night at our fire. This man was possessed with more intelligence than the average Confederate soldier. He minutely described the burial of the mutilated bodies in front of our little works at Franklin the morning after that battle, and also told of the hunger and exhausted condition of their men at their arrival near our marching column neav Spring Hill. He declared that neither officers nor men could have been driven into a fight. On the morning of the 30th, after having passed the night in sleep, Hood rode to the pike to find there had been no battle and that our army had made a clean get-away without the loss of a wagon. In his abuse of his leading generals he accused omenta and men alike with cowardice brought about by being allowed to fight her hind breastworks on the Altanta cam; patgn tinder hts predecenaot; (fen, J<* aeph HJ.

"Not yet? Ah, that Is very fortunate, indeed. 1 see I am not too late." "Sir!" But 1 saw n« anger on her face. There was, however, a mixture of amusement, hauteur (that darling word of the lady novelists!) and objection. She hadn't the least idea who I was, and I was not going to tell her forborne time to come. I-was a prodigal, with a few new ideas. "1 meant nothing more serious than that you might happen to be Cinderella," said I- "What In the world should I do with Cinderella's slipper, onoe she was safely married to the prince?" She swayed her fan indolently, but made no effort to rise. I looked on this as; rather encouraging. *It would be somewhat embarrassing to ask a married woman if she were Cinderella/' I proceeded. *t should not particulari*©/' she obsemed; 4"married or single, it would he. embarrassing.*' "I am searching for the Cinderella who has lost a slipper, and I am goid) g to call you Cinderella till I have pnoof that you are not sho whom I I "It fa very hind of you/' she replied, with a hint of sunshine struggling at the comers of her lips.

"No-o; I can't say that you do,; but lot Cinderella, don't you know* the footman carried the slipper." **Oh, I'm the prince," I explained -easily; "1 dismissed tho footman at tho door/' •^Cinderella," she mused. She nestled her feet, and looked thoughtfully at her delicate hands. I could see she wfcs at that instant recalling the picture of Cinderella and the ash-heap. **What was the prince's name?" "In this case it is just a prince of goodf fellows." **I should like some witnesses." 8ho g$zed at me curiously, hut there was no distrust in her 'fmpid eye, aa clear and noteless as Widow Wadman's. *I«n#t it fine," I cried with a hurst of confidence, "to possess tho courage id apeak to strangers?" *It is equally courageous to listen/* was tho retort. «! knew I sfhould like your'—with enthusiasm. 8he stirred uneasily.

It wouldn't be gallant at all, don't you know. The prince, himself put the slipper on Cinderella." "But this is a modern instance, and a prosaic world. Men are no longer .gallants, hut business men or club gossips; and you do not look like a business man." "I never belonged to a club in my life/' "You do not look quite so unpopular as all that/' A witty woman! To be pretty and witty at tho same time—the gifts of Minerva and Venus in Iavishment! "Besides, it is all very improper/' she added. "The shoe?" I cried. "No; the shoe is proper enough/*— musingly. "You admit it, then!"—joyfully. "I refer to the dialogue between two persons who have not been introduced." Faintly came the music from the ballroom. They were playing the waltzes from "The "Queen's Lace Handkerchief." The agony of an extemporization seized me. "Strauss!" I cried, flourishing the slipper. "The blue Danube, the moonshine on the water, the tittle-tattle ot the leaves, a man and woman ail, all alone! Romance, love, off to the war. « • • "It is a far cry to Cinderella," she interrupted. "£h, yes. Music moves me so easily." "Indeed! It is scarcely noticeable/' —slyly. "Are you Cinderella, then ?" "i do not say so." "Will you dance with me to prove it ono way or tho other?" "Certainly not,"—ratter neatly. "Why not?" "There are any number of reasons, she replied. "Name just one. "I do not know you." "You ought to,"—with a double meaning which went for absolutely nothing. "My angle of vision obscures that idea." "If you will stand up . . / ' I hesitatingly suggested. "I am perfectly comfortable whore T am,"—with an oblique glance at the doorway. "I am convinced that, you are the Cinderella; I cannot figure it out otherwise." "Do not figure at all; simply leave tho shoe." "It it too near twelve o'clock for that Besides, I wish to demolish the pumpkin theory. It's all tommy-rot about changing pumpkins into chariots, unless you happen to be a successful pie-merchant." She bit her Tips and tapped her cheek with tho fan. (Did I mention tho bloomy cheeks?) "Perhaps I am only one of Cinder^ ella's elder sisters." "That would bo very fortunate. You will recollect that the eider sisters cut off their—" MGood gracious!" "Cut off their toes in the mad effort to capture the prince," I continued. "But I am not trying to capture any prince, not even a fairy prince; and I wouldn't—" "Cut off your toes?" I suggested questloningly. "Prolong this questionable conversation, only—" "You cannot stop it till you bavo tho .shoe/' I said. "Only/* she went on determinedly, "I am so comfortable hero that I do not care to return to the ballroom just at present" "I never expected such a full compliment;" and I made her my most engaging bow. "I am afraid yon will have to cut off your toes to get into that shoe/'—maiicioaeiy. "I could expect no less than that from you. You keep coming closer to my ideal every moment** She shrugged dtsdainfoily and as* sumod a bored expression that did not deceive me in tho least "Since you are so determined to continue this dialogue, go and fetch some one yon know. An Introduction ia absolutely necessary." She teemed Immovable on this point. wAnd tho moment 1. turned my back —presto! away would go Cinderella, and 1 should be in the dark as much aa ev^r Regarding tbe pumpkins. No, I thank you. Be good, and confess that yon are Cinderella.*0 "Sir, this really ceases to bo amusing." Her fan closed with a snap. "It was serious the moment I entered and saw you," I replied frankly. She smiled in spite of tho anger which sparkled In her eyes. Of course, if she became downright angry X should tell who X was, only It would spoil everything. "And you do not know me?" X said dejectedly. "Do you moan to tell me tfeat you have never dreamed of any Prince Charming?" "I cannot say X have "—icily. "Yon say you do not know me/' I began. "Let me see,"—narrowing my eyes as ono does who attempts to recall a dim and shadowy past "Didn't you wear your hair in two plaits down vourbackr "That is regular; it is still the custom; it proves nothing." "L<et me recall a rambling old garret where we used to bold wonderful shows/' Her fan opened again, and the tendrils at her temples moved gently. "Once wo played the Sleeping Beauty, and you said that I should always he Prince Charming. How easily we forget!" She inclined forward a bit There were signs of reviving interest. She began to scrutinize me; hitherto she had surveyed and examined me. "Onoe—*• stories begin that way. "Thank you; 1 stand corrected. Well, once upon a time you fell down these same garret stairs; and if you will lift that beautiful lock of hair from your right temple 1 shall see a scar. I am sure of your identity."

Then the light in her eyes grew dim with the struggle of retrospection, the effort to pierce the veil of absent years, and to place me among tho useless, forgotten tbinga of youth, or rather childhood. ''No, I can not nlace you. Please tell me who you arc, if I have ever known you." "Not just now. Mystery arouses a woman's curiosity, and I frankly confess that I wish to arouse yours. You are nearly, if not quite, twenty-four/' "One does not win a woman's Interest by telling her her age/' "But I add that you do not look it." "That is better. Now, let me so© tho slipper," holding out her hand. "To no one but Cinderella. I'd be a nice prince, wouldn't I, to surrender the slipper without finding Cinderella!" • "In these days no woman would permit you to put on her slipper, unless you were her husband or her brother." "No? Then I have a much perverted idea of society." "And/*—passing over my remark, "she would rather sit in a corner all tho evening/' "But think of tho fun you are missing!" "To be frank with you, I am not missing very much fun. I was ail a* dance last night, and tho novelty begins to pall."

I had been violently in love with her; at that tim© she hadn't quite* turned six. Then 1 had lorded it over her tender eighth year, and from the serene height of twenty 1 had looked down upon her fourteen in a fatherly, patronizing fashion. As I recalled her now glory tho troth came upon me that she was likely to pay me back with interest for all the snubs I had given her. Off to Heidelberg *nd Bonn and Berlin! Student days! Heigh-ho! Ten years is a long time. I might still have been am attest an exile, but for my uncle's death and that tho lonely aunt wanted a man ahont (Not that I was much of a man to havo about.)

Well, that was his' affair; I didn't propose to warn him. "Oh, here you are!" he cried, brightening. "1'vo been looking for you everywhere,"—making believe that something was tho matter with his gloves. "Do yon know this gentleman?" she asked quietly, pointing to me with her fan, I felt a nervous tremor. 1 wondered if she had been waiting for a moment libe this. (The young fellow held out his hand; his smile was pleasant and inquiring. "Wait a moment," she interrupted wickedly. "I am not introducing you. I am simply asking you if yon know him." Wasn't this a capital revenge? "I . . . I can't say that X over saw the gentleman before,** ho stammered, mightily bewildered. Then all at onoe his face grow red with anger. He oven balled hie flats.

I had heard it bo infrequently that I liked the sound of it. "And it is really you?" pushing mo off at arm's length the better to observe the changes that had taken place. "You grow more like your father; if you hadn't that beard you would be the exact picture of your father when he married your mother. Oh, vhat a pretty wedding it was!" "I shall have to take your word fer it. I was up and about, however, at the tin anniversary." "I remember. Oh, but vrhat a racket you made among the pans!" She laughed softly at the recollection. "I was properly spanked that night," I admitted. And straightway wo uncovered thirty and twenty y^ars respectively. "By the way," said I carelc-ssly, "is Nancy Marsden engaged to be mar* rted?" "Nancy? She never will be, to my idea. She recently turned down a real duke; a duke that had money and everything." "And everything; Is that <asU<rS?" I inquired. "Nonsense!" "Well, between you and me and the gatepost. Miss Nancy will bo engaged within two months." "No!' '--excitedly. "It Is written." "And to whom, pray?" "It's the woman's piano to announce an engagement. But I know the man." "He is worthy?" "Oh, aa men go/' Then the water-clock in'the fountain struck twelve, and I sprang up. "Mercy, I'll never find any Cinderella at this rate. All is lost if she escapes me." I kissed her hand gratefully, and made off. I immediately ran into a young miss who, Judging from her bhort dresses, was a guest on sufferance, not having "come out" j'ct. "Are you Cinderella?" I asked, with all the gra\ity I could assume. "Thank you, sir, but mamma will not permit me/' her cheeks growing furiously red. I passed on, willing to wager that the little girl had understood me to ask her to dance with mc. How I searched among the young faces; many I saw that I knew, but my confounded beard (which 1 determined to cut tho very next morning) hid me as completely as the fabled invisible cloak. I wondered where Jim was—Nancy's brother. I had seen him in Europe, and 1 knew if ho were anywhere around there would be one to clap me on the back and bid me welcome home. This prodigal business isn't what it's cracked up to be. . . . Somehow I felt that within a few days I should be making love again to Nancy; and I may truthfully add that I dreaded tho ordeal while I courted it. What if she refused me In tho «nd? I cast out at once this horrific thought as unworthy a man of my address. Under the stairway there was a cozy corner. Upon tho cushions I caw a dark-haired girl in red. Now, when they haven't a dash of red in their hair I like it in their dress. She was pretty, besides; bo I stopped. "Pardon me, but won't you tell mo if you are Cinderella?"—producing tbe slipper. "I am/'— sho said with an amused smile. "Then there is a Cinderella, after all?" I cried joyfully. "Where are the pumpkins?" glancing about. "I believe that several of them havo gone hunting for the slipper/' I was delighted. Three witty women all in one night, and two of them charming. It was more than a man had any right to expect. "You havo really and truly lost a slipper?" "Really and truly; only I am not tho Cinderella you are looking for." From under her skirt there came into view (immediately to disappear) a small scarlet slipper. I was very much taken aback; "Redr said I. "Ah.

WEKD, Massachusetts College of Agriculture.; The other day 1 saw some apple trees which had been "dehorned" according to the orders of the new swner of an old farm. The trunks were about a foot in diameter and all the large limbs had been sawed off very near the fork so that the trees looked like great clubs. The whole operation had been performed at once, with, of course, a ^reat shock to the balance of root and leaf which the trees will be likely to try to make up by sending out an enormous crop of watersprouts. Whether they will j survive I am not sure, but I am sure it would have been better to do the remodelling more gradually by extending it over two or three years. There are hundreds of thousands of old native apple trees in the United States that are well worth making over into grafted trees. This can be done more quickly than new trees can be brought into profitable bearing and it is a simple interesting process tor any one to undertake. Success is fairly certain if one is content to take a few years' time rather than to try to do it all at once. Success in making over a neglected apple tree depends largely upon the preliminary pruning; the first thing to do is to thin out superfluous branches and this may be done in summer, fall or winter. Especial care should be taken to open up the center of the top. Any young branches that start low enough to be grafted to advantage should be saved. If two or three such, branches can be grafted the first year, others can be grown for grafting in succeeding years. Late summer is a particularly good time to begin the preliminary pruning of theee trees to get them ready for the following spring. The spring following the severe pruning a crop of young twigs is likely to appear on the trunk and larger branches. These furnish a splendid opportunity for training a new set of branches for grafting, so near the ground that the fruit will be within easy reach. In every crop of these watersprouts there are variations in the characters of the individual twigs. Some are much more vigorous than others, an indication and better than when tall old limbs are top-worked. As the grafted branches grow they must of course be pruned in such a way as to get as spreading an effect as possible. The natural tendency of grafted wood, is to grow vertically upward, but by the judicious use of the pruning shears one can force the growth in almost any direction. The skill and judgment of the owner here come into play. Good results are, of course, easier with a tree having a good spread of horizontal branches, because the twigs for grafting can be started at considerable distances one from the other, but even in so upright a tree as the one pictured herewith, desirable results are readily obtained. In many old apple trees there are likely to be horizontal branches extending far from the trunk—which are too old and hard to be grafted, but which have small twigs arising from along their outer part. Such vertical branches are soon brought into condition for the insertion of scions by simply cutting off the main limb just beyond them, making a clean cut very close to the vertical branch. The bark will soon heal over the cut end, the main How of sap will be carried to the twig and when grafted it will make a fine fruiting branch so far out from the trunk that it has abundant air and sunshine. Such a branch as shown in the photograph herewith is a splendid stock scion. SECRETARY BRYAN HAS NOT CHANGED POLICY * TOWARD MEXICAN SITUATION. F r e e TELEGRAPH LINES ARE DOWN; TRAINS ARE BLOCKED.

The right way to top graft fruiting branches within reach. that such have a good union with the parent branch and a good access to the supply o£ sap. Among these vigorous suckers select for growth those which are most advantageously "^placed upon trunk and branches.

Then ruthlessly remove a-1 the other suckers, and continue to remove them ^s" fas;t* as they start. This will involve going over the trees at least orice a month, scraping off each time :..al| 'the^fcuds that show on the bark.

The scions also will grow remarkably fast, healing over in a year or two and giving a full foliage in three or four years. They wUl blossom and fruit freely after they begin to bear and the fruit will be larger Perhaps the worst feature of an attack by the San Jose scale is that, owing to its small size and inconspicuous color, it often remains unnoticed until the tree has been seriously injured or even killed. 7'hat the tree lacks vigor may be recognized, but the cause of its unthriftiness is overlooked. Yet it is not difficult to detect when one really looks for it. In the early stages of infestation a few scales may be found, usually clustered about the buds of the preceding season's growth, or even on two-year-old wood, says a writer in the Baltimore American. The mature scales are grayish in color, being usually, but not always, somewhat lighter than the bark to which they are so closely attached. The mature females are nearly circular in shape, are approximately one-sixteenth inch in dtameter, and each is somewhat raised in the center to form a slight protuberance or nipple, which is lighter in color than the rest of the scale. If this scale is carefully examined by means of a small magnifier, several concentric circles may be observed between the nipple and the obtside edge; and if it be carefully raised with the point of a pin or a knife mere will be revealed a minute bright yellow object, the insect itself. The trees should be sprayed in midwinter with the lime-sulphur mixture. For a few trees buy a hand vaporizing sprayer. One can be had for $1, and wtth it an active man can thoroughly spray a bearing tree in ten minutes at a cost of a few cents. To have clean, healthy trees and perfect fruit the trees should be sprayed in season, The lime-sulphur mixture, properly applied, will cleanse the trees of the various scale insects (including the San Jose scale), and is also an excellent destroyer of fungus growth of all kinds. Fruit growers recommend its use for killing the eggs of the aphis and oyster shell insect. For scurfy scale and oyster-shell louse use whale oil soap solution. This solution is made as follows^ Whale oil soap, one pound, and boiling water one gallon. Mix well and dilute with six gallons of cold water when ready to use The time to apply is in May or June, or when the small scale lice are moving about on the bark. Virtue of Carbolic Acid.

The new administration has no intention at .present ot witndrawing tne United States army troops now stationed along the Mexican border and the warships in Mexican ports. It has also made clear that the present government regards the Mexican situation in exactly the same light as did the Taft administration. One member of the cabinet stated that while things seemed more quiet in Mexico City they had not been quiet long enough to warrant any withdrawal of American troops. "The baby is asleep" this member of the cabinet said, "but we don't know when it may wake up." At the state department, Mr.. Bryan is giving his approval to the same treatment of the Mexican situation a3 the Taft administration. The secretary is signing all important communications of the department including those relating to Mexico.

"I beg your pardon, madam," answered the butler. "There's a young person outside with a violin who says she has an appointment with you." <kO, it must he that Miss—what's her name?" said rich Mrs. Tuckerman, crossly. "Let her sit down in the hall and wait until I'm ready." "Yes, madam," answered the butler. Half an hour later Mrs. Tuckerman, flushed of face, emerged from the reception room and found a slender young woman, with a wreath of CO*** per-colored hai? and* timid demeanor, waiting, a vjo'iin in her hands. At the sight of her patroness she rose. "Well, so here you are," snapped Mrs. Tuckerman. "I don't know whether I shall want you or not. It depends on how tired my guests are after Krissel has played.* You had ikfitter wait—you had better wait in the cloak room, and I'll give you three collars extra t© take charge of the, l&dies* wraps, because my maid hasn'i: tome." The girl felt the blood surge into her face; then, remembering the sick mother at home she bowed her head. ^Yes, I shall be glad to, Mrs. Tuckeriiian," she said. "Good!" said Mrs. Tuckerman. "James! Show this young woman to the cloak room and instruct her in her duties. And keep an eye on her if you have the chance," she added in a lower voice. "I don't know about that class of person, and I don't want anything stolen." "Yes, madam," said James. Mrs. Tuckerman's reception was tho talk of the avenue, for Herr Krissel, the famous pianist, had actually prom, ised to grace it with his presence. And every one thought it an honor to have Ilerr Krissel, since he was an intimate friend of the music-loving regent of Bonn, where a lady who ranked socially high above Mrs. Tuckerman Herr Krissel Was Short, Stout and Bald. had met him and taken him up. And so Herr Krissel's tour of America was punctured with social triumphs. Had these good people known it, however, Herr Krissel was not at all conscious of the honor that he was receiving, nor of the reflected glory of the regent of Bonn, which he showered over his hostesses. He attended such functions because he had always done so, and to his simple Teutonic mind all whom he met were his equals, "Yes, Her Krissel is really coming," said Mrs. Tuckerman to her guests as they assembled. "You know whom I mean—the great pianist, the friend of the regent of Bonn. You know his romantic story, don't you?" Then, before the other could reply, Mrs. Tuckerman would plunge into the often repeated tale of how, twenty -years before, when Krissel was a poor, music teacher, he had fallen in love with the daughter of a rich landowner and secretly married her; how the marriage was discovered, and the count, furious at the discovery, had him drafted into the army, where he served seven years, hearing nothing of his wife. When at last he was permitted to return the count was dead, the petty state had been swept into the maw of Austria, and the war which had devasted the land had obliterated all traces of his wife. He had never found her again. And so, not knowing whether she lived or died, he had never married, but had devoted himself to his art. "Dear me, how romantic!" exclaimed the other invariably. "I am so anxious to see Herr Krissel." "Hush! Here he comes now," said rich Mrs. Tuckerman. The first glimpse of the famous man was admittedly disappointing. Herr Krissel was short and stout and bald, and if any romance had ever come into his life It must have been fully twenty years ago. Then, too, he acted as naturally as though he had never been i» society before. He laughed loudly, and sometimes wiped his forehead with a red handkerchief; so that the guests, not knowing whether to resent this or to admire it as a token ot genius, were somewhat at a loss what to do. But when at last Herr Krissel was coaxed to the piano and took his seat and began to play every chattering voice was stilled. Under rthe magic touch the piano awakened^ the full tones rolled forth as fronran organ. All eyes were fixed upon the player when, suddenly ending in a crashing chord, he rose from his seat and bowed. At the end of the room the young girl stood enthralled. At, the first sounds of the music she had stolen from the cloak room, and now, clutching her violin, and wholly oblivious of her surroundings, she watched Krissel as one in an ecstacy. JCrissel saw the rapture in her eyes. "Mrs. Tuckerman," he exclaimed, "will you not present me to that young lady with the beautiful hair?" A woman seated near by tittered loudly. She could not help it; this was the funniest thing that Herr Krissel had done. But Mrs. Tuckerman, perceiving the young performer, frowneg angrily, "0, my dear Herr Krissel," she said, "you are mistaken. That is the cloak room maid. She has no business in here at all. I am very angry." "But the violin?" faltered Herr Krissel. "Well—I thought perhaps that as the young woman had some skill on that instrument she might possibly play us something later. But now I shall send her home at once." She walked hurriedly toward the girl, but before she could whisper to her to leave the room she found that Herr Krissel was at her side. And the famous pianist did a still funnier thing than ever before. He put forth his hand and tugged at a locket on a slender chain of gold around the girl's pretty throat. "Where did you get that?'' he exclaimed tragically. "It is my mother's," faltered the girl, recoiling from the pianist in something approaching terror, "Your mother! You are a German? Who is your father?" "He is dead," whispered tho girl. "He was killed in the wars, years and years ago." Everybody was hushed now. dimly conscious of some impending denouement to this strange'scene. Herr Krissel wrenched apart the half shells of gold, carved with the arms of Laufort. Inside was a faded portrait—his own, taken in Germany 20 years ago. The girl saw the likeness now, as she had half-unconsciouply recognized it before. Herr Krissell placed one arm round her, with a look of infinite tenderness and, without speaking a word, he led her from the room. And that was the funniest thing he did that evening. (Copyright, 1013, by W. G. Chapman.) TELEPHONE UNDER THE SEA New Invention That Promises to pc of the Utmost Commercial Value in the Future. Long distance telephone calls and conversation between continents is claimed for the near future, as the Result of the submarine telephone, invented by an English engineer named Williams. The first demonstration test was made recently from the Pacific mainland to an island 11 miles away, a bare iron wire being stretched the distance and lying in naked contact with the salt waters. Then over the bare wire went the sound of human voices and distinct conversation was kept up fpr several h'ours. This invention is Baid to overcome two supposed basic laws of electricity. The one which claims that any bare wire conductor in contact wi£h water would be short circuited the minute a current of electricity passed through it, and the other which claims that it is not possible to have an electrical charge on a metallic conductor without that conductor's possessing an electrostatic capacity. Both the above things, however, were accomplished. The commercial value of the invention may be judged from the fact that whereas it will cost the United States $400,000 to lay a new cable to Alaska, according to present conditions, the new invention would enable the work to be done for $20,000. Didn't Want to Take Chances. I remember once hearing of a man —a farmer he was—over in the County Down. He was a great one «for inventing— always turning out great "ideas that were great failures. Naturally, in a place like that he was the "great joke" ot the countryside. Well, anyway, he invented a flying machine. It was really a pair of wings made from wire and hens' feathers. He took a year to do it—secretly. But tho night before he made his first attempt to fly, being both a hopeful and cautious man, he went round all the cottages within reach, and after sitting for a little while chatting, but never mentioning his great invention, he said, in an off-hand way, before leaving: "If any of yez sees a strange lukin' burrd flying about the country tomorra\ for the love ov goodness don't be shootin' at it."—The Bystander. Breaking It to Him Gently. "My dear nephew,'.' wrote a wealthy old uncle, "allow me to congratulate you on your approaching marriage, and please accept from me the accompanying wedding gift. You will find it extremely appropriate in the circumstances." With much expectation the prospective bridegroom opened the parcel and found inside a large book marked "Household exjpens book."—Tit-Bits. STEAMER LUGANO HITS R E E R 1 1 B RESCUED Cause of Accident Still Mystery; Officials of Line Have^Been Notified. One hundred and sixteen passengers all of whom were emigrants, bound from Spain to Cuba, with the exception of two first class passengers, were taken off the British steamer, Lugano, ashore on the Ajax reef toff the Florida coast, by the tug Rescue Sunday afternoon. The grateful passengers were landed here by the-tug. All have been housed in buildings along the docks, cots having been prepared for them before the tug Rescue arrived. The transfer of the passengers from the ill-fated Lugano to the Rescr \ was effected in two hours, small boats being used. Of the passengers rescued, 12 were women, 15 children and the remaining 89, men. Boat Hits Reef. It was 1:30 o'clock Sunday morning when the Lugano suddenly struck the reef. Captain Penwill immediately realized that the position of the vessel was serious. Distress rockets and wireless calls remained unanswered for hours. Finally the message was picked up by the United States wireless station here. At the same time, it was intercepted by the tug Rescue, bound for this port. The latter vessel immediately set out for the Lugano and had succeeded in taking off her passengers before additional tugs, sent from here, arrived at'the scene. T H E M A R K E T S .

A very dangerous counterfeit 15 bill is now m circulation. It is said to be the most dangerous $5 silver certificate discovered in recent years. The counterfeit is apparently printed from photomechanical plates of excellent workmanship ou two pieces of paper, ou which silk threads have been distributed. It is of the series of 1899, and bears the signatures of J . C. Napier, Register of the treasurey, ahd Lee McClung United States Treasurer. The seal is darker than the genuine, and the green ink on the back of the note is also heavier than that of a real note. The letter E which precedes the serial number is larger than it should be, and the right side of the Indian head is not so well defined, owirfg to a merger of the lines of the face and those representing the hair. The general appearance of the counterfeit, Chief Flynn says, is likely to deceive even careful handlers of money. FOR SALE—Bean Pods and Timothy hay. 8t3* C. O. Dey, Pinckney FOR SALE—Good marsh hay.

K U H N , G R E G O R Y The difference between a dead town and a live town is the differerence between dead merchants and live .merchants. Some mer- • charts are so dead or free from enterprise that it takes sizzling hot thrusts to awaken enough life in them to even penetrate the outermost rim of business progress. They will set around endeavoring to catch trade that comes to town without off ring inducements to draw business. They tell the public they do not advertis in the newspapers but give their trade the benefit of the little money they might spend in advertising by„ giving them more for their money than the advertiser—which they know is a falsehood. The advertiser always gives more and better goods for the money than the merchant who doesn't advertise, for the advertiser's goods are turned quicker and arValways new and up-to-date. Besides the advertiser is the town boomer and the non advertiser is the town sponger. The advertiser, through the medium of his ads, is reaching out and bringing new people to town to trade and is thus both directly and indirectly advertising the town. There is a way in which every person trading in this town can help the town and that is to encourage enterprise by patronizing the merchant who does advertise. That's one way to boom a town that should have our admiration. w * This is the first of a series of articles prepared for the merchant who wants a better business. Our aim is to be of service to the en" terprising merchant. Copyright 1912 by George E. Patterson F U L M E R ' S CORNERS Jay Glenn is home from Detroit for a few days. Mrs. B .

Senate Tables Vice Commission. By a vote of 16 to 12 the senate tabled the Glasner resolution calling for a commission to investigate vice conditions in Michigan. Gov. Ferris expressed sorrow when he heard of the senate's action. He has been in receipt of many communications from Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Saginaw and other places where vice conditions are being investigated locally. They disclose alleged conditions which, if true, would reflect greatly on various county officials. The governor declares that if such a commission as was proposed by the Glasner resolution would work 10 days it would find whether or not the charges are true, and that if they were substantiated there are a number of county officials who would be ousted from office quickly on charges of nonenforcement of the law. A movement has been started to get a reconsideration of the vote. CONGRESSMAN PUJ0 Investigator of the alleged money trust.

Farmers of Lenawee County Organize. A temporary organization was formed for the purpose of organizing farmers, of Lenawee county and hiring a graduate farm expert to spend his entire time in county. Bankers ,-seem more interested in this new project than do the farmers. W. C. Jipson, of Blissfield, and R. C. Rothfus, of Adrian, both bankers, were elected president and secretary respectively, of the organization. A constitutional committee was appointed and the meeting adjourned till March 25, when the organization will be made permanent. Very few counties have adopted the plan of hiring expert agriculturists and among them are Kent and Allegan counties. Providing an organization is formed and at least $800 is guaranteed by the county, the federal government offers $1,200 a year and the, National Grain Exchange $1,000 a year to the county for the employ of such a man. The annual expense of such an office would be about $3,000. W. H. Wallace was appointed trainmaster of the Toledo district of the Pere Marquette. J. D. Chisholm goes to the Western Maryland road, making the sixth man that Supt. A. R. Merrick has placed since he left the Pere Marquette. One of the biggest freight1 wrecks the Pere Marquette has had this winter occurred near Blanchard, between Edmore and Big Rapids, when 12 cars of an extra freight, containing mer* chandise, were derailed. Most of the cars were thrown together.

Officials in the United States bureau of fisheries are hotly advocating a change in the Michigan game laws, to lengthen the closed season on whitefish and trout. They contend that the federal bureau has been greatly handicapped in its work of protecting, propogating and planting fish in the great lakes because of the Michigan law, which permits the taking of fish during the spawning season. With a coast line of nearly 2,500 miles, Michigan has jurisdiction over much the greater portion of the great lakes. Recommendations made in the annual report of State Game Warden William R. Oates, of Michigan, a copy of which has just been placed in the hands of the federal fish culture ex^ perts, are approved by them. Robert S. Johnson, who is in charge of the fish culture division, stated that if the recommendations were heeded much of the present trouble being experienced would be eliminated. But the federal officials fear there is little chance of getting a longer closed season in Michigan. They claim that several large commercial fishermen are members of the state legislature, and are doing what they can to discourage new legislation. i. Commission Rule for Traverse City. Traverse City* voted to adopt the commission form of government, by a vote of 1,025 to 217, after one of the hardest fought campaigns - the town has ever known. General dissatisfaction with the administration of Mayor W. D. C. Germaine, who is now under charges of malfeasance in office, was one of the great factors in the result, as also was the high rate of taxation. The new charter will go into effect May 15. / Gov. Ferris Signs Home Rule. Gov. Ferris signed the Verdier home rule bill immediately after the engraved copy of the measure was placed on his desk.

ADVANCE COVERED BY CANNON FEDERALS Wlji BATTLE. •Vt' Four Hundred Vaqul Indian* Are Marching to the Aid of the Rebellious Mexicans. Instead of waiting to be attacked by nearly 1,000 insurgent state troops, General Ojeda with less than 500 federal soldiers wTent out from Naco and defeated the enemy. In three hours of aggressive fighting peppering the enemy's line with rifle and machine gun bullets, and spraying lead from shrapnel shells over hills adopted as fortifications, the Huerta federals drove the state forces five miles to the southeast the government forces returned victorious to the Mexican border towrn opposite Naco City. Even the victors do not believe the fighting is ended, however, nor that Naco is secure from assault. With the advantage of unexpected aggression, and possessing five artillery pieces, the little brown, barefooted soldiers defending the military honor of the new Huerta regime fought against seemingly overwhelming odds. Protected by the artillery fire the federals scrambled *over the hillocks and began firing their rifles at the enemy appearing in the distance. After three hours of desperate fighting, the battle stopped, the federals under Ojeda holding the field while the state troops under Bracamonte and Galles were in full retreat to the south. Jubilant over their vtctory, the federals returned to Naco. 8 T O B M I N SOUTH K I L L S 2fc Cyclone Sweeps Middle West andfr South. Killed In Storm.

Lights in a country house at night are often the signal of birth or death, sometimes of both. The old red house threw its beacon from almost every window that night, and seemed mutely to defy the onslaught of enveloping darkness, whether Plutonic or Stygian. Time was when Parson Thayer's library lamp burned nightly into the little hours, and through the uncurtained windows the churchyard ghosts, had they wandered that way, could have seen his long thin form, wrapped in a paisley cloth dressing-gown, sitting In the glow. He would have been reading some old leather-bound volume, and would have remained for hours almost as quiet and noiseless as the ghosts themselves. Now he had stepped across the threshold and joined them, and new spirits had come to burn the light in the old red house. ' Agatha, half-dressed, had slept, and woke feeling that the night must be far advanced. The house was very still, with no sound or echo of the incoherent tones which, for now many days, had come from the room down the hall. She lit a^candle, and the sputtering match seemed to fill the house with noise. Her clock indicated a little past midnight. It was only twenty minutes since she had lain down, but she was wide awake and refreshed. While she was pinning up her hair in a big mass on the top of her head, she heard in the hall slow, steady steps, firm but not heavy, even as in daytime. Susan etoddard did not tiptoe. Agatha was at the door before she could knock. "You had better come for a few minutes," Mrs. Stoddard said. The tones were, in themselves, an adjuration to faith and fortitude. "Yes, I will .come," said Agatha. They walked together down, the dimly lighted hall, each woman in her own way proving how strong and efficient is the discipline of self-control. In the sick-room a screen shaded the light from the bed, which had been pulled out almost into the middle of the room. Near the bed was a table with bottles, glasses, a covered pitcher, and on the floor an oxygen tank. Doctor Thayer's massive ngure was in the shadow close to the bed, and Aleck Van Camp leaned over the curved footboard. James lay on his pillow, a ghost of a man, still as deaths itself. As Agatha grew accustomed the light, she saw that his eyes wire closed, the lips under the ragged beard were drawn and slightly parted; his forehead was the jvrtlid forehead of death-in-life. Neither the doctor nor Aleck moved or turned their gaze from the bed as Agatha and Mrs. Stoddard entered. The air was still, and the profound silence without was as a mighty reservoir for the silence hand to the patient's heart and leaned over to observe more closely his face. "See!" she whispered to Aleck, touching his shoulder lightly, "he is looking a.t us." When Aleck looked up James was indeed looking at them with large, serious, half-focussed eyes. It was as if he were coming back from another world where the laws of vision were different, and he was only partially adjusted to the present conditions. He moved his hands feebly under the bedclothes, where they were'being warmed by the freestone, and then tried to moisten his lips. Agatha took a glass of water from the table, looked about for a na*pkin, but, seeing none, wet the tips of her fingers and placed them gently over James* lips. His eyes followed her at first, but closed for an instant as she came near. When they opened again, they looked more natural. As he felt the comfort ot the wate£ on his lips, his features relaxed, and a look of recognition illumined his face. His eyes moved from Agatha to Aleck, who was now bending over him, and back to Agatha. The look was a salute, happy and peaceful. Then his eyes closed again. For an hour Agatha and Aleck kept their watch, almost fearing to breathe. Doctor Thayer worked, gave quiet orders, tested the heartbeats, let no movement or symptom go unnoticed. For a time James kept even the doctor in doubt whether he was slipping into the Great Unknown or into a, deep and convalescent sleep. By the end of the hour, however, Jlmsy had' decided for natural sleep, urged thereto, perhaps, by that unseen playwright who had decreed another time for curtain; or perhaps he was kept by Doctor Thayer's professional persuasions, in defiance of the prompter's signal. However the case, the heart slowly but surely began to take up its job like an honest force-pump, the face began to lose its death-like pallor, the breathing became more nearly normal. Doctor Thayer, with Mrs. Stoddard^ juiet and efficient at his elbow, worked and" tested and worked again, and finally sat moveless for some minutes, watch in hand, counting the pulsations of James' heart. At the end of the time he laid the hand carefully back under the clothes, put his watch in his pocket, and finally got up and looked around the room. Mrs. Stoddard was pouring something into a measuring glass. Agatha a moment's interval, was repeated. Aleck lifted his head at the first signal, took another look at James and one at Hand, then light as a cat he darted from the room and down the stairs, leaving the house through one of the tall windows in the parlor. Mr. Chamberlain was standing near the lilac bushes, his big figure outlined dimly in the darkness. "Shut up!" Aleck whispered fiercely, as he ran toward him. "He's just got to sleep. Chamberlain; gone to sleep, like a baby. Don't make an infernal racket!" "Oh, I didn't know. Didn't mean to make a racket," began Chamberlain, when Aleck plumped into him and shook him by the shoulders. "He's asleep—like a baby!" he reiterated. And Chamberlain, wise comrade, took Aleck by the arm and tramped him off over the hill to settle his nerves. They walked for an hour arm in arm over the road that lay like a gray ribbon before them in the night, winding up slantwise along the rugged country. Dawn was awake on the hills a mile away, and by and by Aleck found tongue to tell the story of the night, which was good for him. He talked fast and unevenly, and even extravagantly. Chamberlain listened and loved his friend in a sympathy that spoke for itself, though his words were commonplace enough. By the time they had circled the five-mile road and were near the house again, Aleck was something like himself, though still unusually excited. Chamberlain mentioned casually that Miss Reynier had been anxious about him, and that all his friends at the big hotel had worried. Finally, l|e, Chamberlain, had set out for the old red house, thinking he could possibly be of service; in any case glad to be near his friend. "And^by the way," Chamberlain added, "you may be interested to hear that accidentally I got on the track of * that beggar who ate the hermit's eggs. Took a tramp this morning, and found him held up at a kind of sailor's inn, waiting for money. Grouchy old party; no wonder his men shipped him." Aleck at first took but feeble interest in Chamberlain's discoveries; he was still far from being his precise, judicial self. He let Chamberlain talk on, scarcely noticing what he said, until suddenly the identity of the within. Agatha stood by the footboard beside Aleck, while Mrs. Stoddard, getting a warm freestone from the invisible Mr. Hand in the hall, placed it beneath the bedclothes. Aleck Van Camp dropped his head, covering tits face with his hands. Agatha; watching, by and by saw a change com A over the stok man's face. She held tier breath, lit seemed for untold iQia* ate*, while titaor Thayer reeefaed kle was standing by the window, looking . u i < „ . „ .. out into the blue night; and Ale J + ™ \ ^ 0 m , . ^ could be seen through t^Jhal&open door, pacing up and down the hall. Doctor Thayer turned to- his 3ister. "Give him his medicine on the halfhour, and then you go to bed. That man Hand will do now." Then he went to the door and addressed Aleck. "Well, Mr, Van Camp, unless something unexpected turns up, I think your cousin will live to jump overboard again." Offhand as the words were, there was unmistakable satisfaction, happiness, even triumph in his voice, and he returned Aleck's hand-clasp'with a vise-like grip. His masculinity ignored Agatha, or pretended to; but she had followed him to the door. As the old man clasped hands with Aleck, he heard behind him a deep, "0 Doctor!" The next instant Agatha's arms were around his neck, and back of his bald head was pressed against something that could only have been a cheek. Surprising as this was, the doctor did not stampede; but by the time he had got clear of Aleck and had reached up his hand to find the cheek, it was gone, and the arms, too. Susan Stoddard somehow got mixed up in the general Te Deum in the hall, and for the first time, now that the fight was over, allowed her feminine feelings—that is, a few tears— to come to the surface. j Aleck, however, went to pieces, gone down in that species of mental collapse by which deliberate, judicial men become reckless, and strong men become weak. He stepped softly back into the bed-room and leaned again over the curved . footboard, his face quite miserable. He went nearer, and held his ear down close to the bedclothes, to hear for himself the regu* lar beating of the heart. Slowly he convinced himself that the doctor's words might possibly be true, a£ least. He turned to Hand, who had come in and was adjusting the shades, and asked him; "Do you believe he's asleep?" In the tone of one who .demands an oath. "Oh, yes, sir; he's sleeping nicely, Mr. Van Camp. I saw the change the moment I came In/' Aleck still hesitated to leave, fear* ful, apparently, lest he might take the blessed sleep away with him. As he stood by the bed, a low but distinct whistle sounded outside, then* alter ing came home to him.; Agatha's story flashed back in his memory. He stopped short in his tracks, halting his companion with a stretched-out forefinger. "Look here, Chamberlain," he said, "I've been half loony and didn't take in what you said. If that's the owner or~pxoprietor of the Jeanne D'Arc— a man known as Monsieur Chatelard, French accent, blond, above medium size, prominent white teeth—we want him right away. He kidnaped Miss Redmond in New York, and I shouldn't wonder if he kidnaped old Jim and stole the yacht besides. He's a bad one." Mr, Chamberlain had the air of humoring a lunatic. "Well, what's to be done? Is it a case for the law? Is there any evidence to be had?" - "Law! Evidence!" cried Aleck. "I should think so. You go to Big Simon, Chamberlain, and find out who's sheriff, and we'll get a warrant and run him down. Heavens! A man like that would sell his mother!" Chamberlain looked frankly skeptical, and' would not budge until Aleck had related every circumstance that he knew about Agatha's involuntary flight from New York. He was all for go%g to the red house and investigating Agatha herself, but Aleck refused to let him do that. "She's worn out and gone to bed; you can't see her. But it's straight, you take my word. We must catch that scoundrel and bring him here for identification—to be sure there's no mistake. And if it is he, it'll be hot enough for him." Chamberlain doubted whether it was the same man, and put up objections seriatim to each proposition of Aleck's, but finally accepted them ally He made a point, however, of going" on his quest alone. "You go back to the red house and go, to bed, and I'll round up Eggs. I think I know how the trick can be done." Aleck was stubborn about accompanying Chamberla'in, but the Englishman plainly wouldn't have it, He told Aleck he could do it better alone, and led him by the arm back to the old red house, where the kitchen door stood hospitably open; Sallie was at work in heir pantry, The kettle wee elagfftg on ito etovt* ami the mitt • F - H g • 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ™ I I I B I ' 1 had already come from a neighbor's jjdairy. . ' .'' •"', . / / * * Sallie's temper may not have been ideal, but atfleast/she, was hot #f those -who are|grouc^;;jb.etorerbrea^rs fast. She served Aleck imd Chamber* lain in the kitchen with homely skill, giving them both a wholesome and pleasant morning after their night of gloom. "You can't do anything right all day if you start behindhand," she replied when Aleck remarked upon her early rising. "Besides I "was up last night more than once, watching for Miss Redmond. The young man's deeping tlicely, ehe says." She went cheerfully about her kitchen work, giving the men her best, womanlike, and asking nothing in return, not even attention. They took her service gratefully, however, and there was enough of Eve in Sallie to know it. "By the way, Chamberlain," said Aleck, "we must get a telegram off to the family in Lynn." He wrote out the address and shoved it acrosB Sallie's red kitchen tablecloth. "And tell them not to think of coming!" adjured Aleck. "We don't want any more of a swarry here than we've got now." Chamberlain undertook to send the message; and since he had contracted to catch the criminal of the Jeanne D'Arc, he was eager to be off on his hunt. "Good-by, old man. You go to bed and get a good sleep. I'll stop at tjie hotel and leave word for Miss Reynier. And you stay here, so I'll know where you are. I may want to find yon quick, if I land that bloomin* beggar." 'JThankfl," said Aleck weakly, "I'll turn in for an hour or so, if Sallie can find me a bed." Mr. Chamberlain made several notes on an envelope which he pulled from his pocket, gravely thanked Sallie for her breakfast and lifted his hat to her when he departed. Aleck dropped into a chair and was stupidly staring at the stove when Sallie returned from a journey to the pump in the yard. "You'll like to take a little rest, Mr. Van Camp," she said, "and I know just the place where you'll not hear a sound from anywhere—if you don't mind there not being a carpet. I'll go up right away and show you the room before I knead out my bread." So she conducted Aleck to a big, clean attic under the rafters, remote and quiet. He was exhausted, not from lack of sleep—he had often borne many hours cf wakefulness and hard work without turning a hair—but from the jarring Of a live nerve throughout the night of anxiety. The past, and the relationships of youth and kindred were sacred to him, and his pain had overshadowed, for the hour at least, even the newer claims of his love for Melanie Reynier. After ten minutes or so, she slowly descended the stairs and went out the front way. She circled the garden and came round to the open kitchen door. Sallie was kneeling before her oven, inspecting bread. Agatha watched her while she tapped the -bottom of the tin, held her face down close to the loaf, and finally1 took the whole baking out of the oven and tipped the tins on the table. "That's the most delicious smell that ever was!" said Agatha. Sallie jumped up and pulled her apron straight. "Lor', Miss Redmond, how you scared me! Couldn't you sleep any longer?" "I didn't want to; I'm as good as new. Tell me, Sallie, where all the people are. Mr. Hand is in Mr. Hambleton's room, I know, but where are the others?" "I guess they're all parceled round." said Sallie with symptoms of sniffing. "I don't wanter complain, Miss Redmond, but we ain't had any such a houseful since Parson Thayer's last conference met here, and not so many then; only three ministers and two wives, though, of course, ministers make more work. But I wouldn't say a word, Miss Redmond, about the work, if it wasn't for that young woman that puts on such airs coming and getting your tray. I ain't used to that." Sallie paused, like any good orator, while her main thesis gained impressiveness from silence. It was only too evident that her feelings were hurt. Agatha considered the matter, but before replying came farther into the kitchen and touched the tip of a finger to one of Sallie's loaves, lifting it to show its golden brown crust. "You're an expert at bread, Sallie, I can Bee that," she said heartily. "I shouldn't have got over my accident half so well if it hadn't been for your good food and your care, and I want you to know that I appreciate it." She was reluctant to discuss the maid, but her cordial liking for Sallie counseled frankness. "Don't mind about Lizzie. I thought you had too much to dp, and that she might just as well help you, but if she bothers you, we won't have it. And now tell me where Mrs. Stoddard and the others are. CHAPTER XVIII. The Spirit of the Ancient Wood. Agatha's first thought on awakening late in the forenoon, was the memory of Sallie Kingsbury coaxing her to bed and tucking her in, in the purple light of the early morning. She remembered the attention with pleasure and gratitude, as another blessing added" to the greater one of James Hambleton's turn toward recovery. Sallie's act was mute testimony that Agatha was, in truth, heir to Hercules Thayer's estate, spiritual and material. She summoned Lizzie, and while she was dressing, laid out directions for the day. During her short stay in Ilion,. Lizzie had been diligent enough in gathering items of information, but nevertheless she had remained oblivious of any impending crisis during the night. Her pompadour was marcelled as accurately as if she were expecting a morning call from Mr. Straker. No rustlings of the wings of the Angel of Death had disturbed her sleep. In fact. Lizzie would have winked knowingly if his visit had been announced to her. -Her sophistication had banished such superstitions. She noticed, however, that Agatha's candles had burned to their sockets, and inquired if Miss Redmond had been wakeful. "Mr. Hambleton was very 111. Everybody in the house was up till near morning," replied Agatha rather tartly.' "Oh, what a pity! Could I have done anything? I never heard a sound," cried Lizzie effusively. "No, there was nothing you could have done," said Agatha. "It's very bad for your voice, Miss Redmond, staying up all night," went on Lizzie solicitously. "You're quite pale this morning. And with your western tour ahead of you!" Agatha let these adjurations go unanswered. It occurred to Lizzie that possibly she had allied herself with a mistress who was foolish enough to ruin her public career by private follies, such as worrying about sick people. Heaven, in Lizzie's eyes, was the glare of publicity; and since she was unable to shine in it herself, she loved, to be attached to somebody who could. Her fidelity' was based on Agatha's celebrity as a singer She would have preferred serving an actress who was all the rage, but considered a popular singer, who paid liberally, as the next best thing. There was always enough common sense In Lizzie's' remarks to make some Impression, even on a person capable of the folly of mourning at? a death-bed. Agatha's spirits, freshened by hope and the sleep of health, rose to a buoyancy which was well able to deal with practical questions. She quickly formed a plan for the day, though she was wise enough to withhold the scheme from the maid. Agatha drank her coffee, ate sparingly of SalUe'a toast, aud, leaving Little with a piece ef sewing to doi went tort to Jantee B a a bleto**s wont Sallie'3 symptoms indicated that she was about to be propitiated; but she had yut a desire to make her position clear to Miss Redmond. "It's all right; only I've taken care of the china for seventeen years, and it don't seem right to let her handle it. And she told me herself that anybody that had any respect for their hands wouldn't do kitchen work. And if her hands are too good for kitchen work, I'm sure 1 don't want her messing round here. She left the tea on the stove till it boiled, Miss Redmond, just yesterday." Agatha smiled. "I'm sure Lizzie doesn't know anything about cooking, Sallie, and sho shall not bother you any more." Sallie turned a rather less* melancholy face toward Agatha. "It's been fairly lonesome since the parson died. I'm glad you've come to the red house." The words came from Sallie's lips gruffly and ungraciously, but Agatha knew that they were sincere. She knew better, however, than to appear to notice them. In a moment Sallie went on: "Mrs. Stoddard, she's asleep in the front spare room. Said for me to call her at twelve." "Poor woman! Sho must be tired," said Agatha. "Aunt Susan's a stout woman, Miss Redmond. She didn't go to bed until she'd had prayers beside the young man's bed, with Mr. Hand present. I had to wait with the coffee. And I guess Mr. Hand ain't very much used to our ways, for when Aunt Susan had niado a prayer, Mr. Hand said: 'Yes, ma'am!' instead of Amen." There was a mixture of disapprobation and grim humor which did not escape Agatha. She was again beguiled into a smile, though Sallie remained" gravo as a tombstone. "Mr. Hand will learn," said Agatha; and was about to add "Like the rest of us," but thought better of it. Sallie took up her tale. —' (TO BE CONTINUED.) Browning's Disappointment. Robert Browning's great hopes for his son were not fulfilled. One of the poet's disappointments was the rejection of a statue by "Pen" sent to tbe academy in the '80s. Though Pen Browning's statue was rejected, two or three pictures painted in Belgium, clever in a hard, realistic technique, but very far from beautiful, were hung at the academy. Browning was sensitively anxious about the reputation of these works. On one occasion, when he was showing his son's pictures on a studio Sunday, he said to a friend who mentally noted the saying with its rather strained modesty: "You see, people expect so much from him because he had a clever mother" One of the pictures, by the way, represented an exceedingly large pig. There was no kind of impression about it. It was a pig seen through no temperament at all.

He found that he had been spending at least $1.25 a week on beer and tobacco; these he could very well dispense with. That meant a saving of $65 a year. ' And this was the nucleus of his fortune. A few weeks later his wages were raised from $7.50 a week to $8.75 weekly. He could rub along without the\?xtra $1.25, and was thus able to put by $130 a" year. When his savings liad amounted to $50(¾ he bought two cottages, borrowing three-fourths of the purchase money and paying off the loan out of the rents. He was a man of property now. The appetite for thrift took full possession of him. He was fond of gardening, and he decided to turn his hobby and his spare tiiue into money. He rented half an acre of land; his wife opened a shop for the sale of the produce, and the first year he was able to increase his savings to $5 a week, with which, in two years' time, he was able to buy two more houses. And thus simply his fortune grew. House was added to house, each paying for its own purchase with its rent, until at sixty-nine he was able to retire on $7 50 a year, almost twice his highest wages as workman, and when he died to leave a good $15,000 behind him. And what John Morrison could do, and did, others have done. Only a few weeks ago a workingman confessed in a court of law that he had already saved $3,000 out of wa^es which had never exceeded $7.50 a week. ' B o w did you do it ?%> asked the magistrate. "By a little self-denial, your worship," the man answered, and then proudly added: "And I've brought up four children, too; and now there's only me and the wife. I'm. going to buy an annuity with it, which, they say, will come to more than $350 a year." 1 B a c h e l o r S h o u l d W e a r T a g o f S o m e K i n d By Dorcas Gallienne, Sao Francisco Bachelors ought to be tagged, because there never was a woman between the ages of sixteen and sixty who at some stage of the game did not sigh and say inwardly: "I wonder if he's—99 And why should n't she?

Nature is such a natural and ''unpresumptuous wonder worker that we hardlv seem impressed by the miracles that she performs right under our eyes. I have in mind especially now the remarkable results that have been obtained and are being obtained through nature's own methods in relieving men of their physical ailments and weaknesses. Within a few months I have put on ien pounds in weight. This result in spite of the fact that for the past six years I have been, under •weight and never put on a pound, although I dieted and slept sufficiently at all times. My late increase in weight and improvement in health were obtained through deep breathing, full relaxation and full contraction exercise, under competent direction, which is really the natural way for the body to get these things, and was the everyday way, before we were perverted through our sedentary habits and tense, fast living. But ray improvements were insignificant when compared to other men who were in worse condition than myself to start with. I know of a large njrmber of men who have, through these same methods, been relieved of their nervousness, insomnia, obesity, constipation, headaches, rheumatism, anemia and almost every affliction in materia medica. I have often seen men who were run down to the verge^^f nervous prostration built up to robust health and strength. / If some physician were to procure such results by his prescription the achievement would be the talk of the town, but when nature works these wondrous results we accept them as a matter of fact and think nothing of it. a H e l p f u l L i t t l e F a c t s A b o u t C a t c h i n g C o l d By George F.

Within a month Weingartner and Lucille Mareel passed from the summit • of Vienese musical prominence into comparative obscurity. They lost little, however, by the change. Weingartner's reputation had been made for years; "telektra" had firmly established that of Lucille. There was nothing to do except wait. One day last month Weingartner received th divorce papers which released him from the remnants of his unsuccessful marriage to the baroness. Miss Marcel happened to be in Paris at the time. "We'll just run down to the registrar," said Weingartner, "he's on the rue de —." "We'll do nothing of the kind" replied Miss Marcel. "We'll just run over to the license bureau in the New York City hall, which, my dear Felix, is on the rue de Park Row. Come on." They came. Alderman James L Smith performed the ceremony and ten minutes later Miss Marcel, now Mrs. Weingartner, sent the following cablegram to her mother in Vienna: 'Married.

With Each Rehearsal of Strauss' Opera Their Mutual interest Grew Deeper. R O M A N A D I S R U P T S A N O P E R A C O M P A N Y Musical Circles of Two Continents Thrown Into Turmoil and Aristocrats of Vienna in Merry War Over Love Affair—Ends in Marriage in New York of Prima Donna and Conductor. NEW YORK.-A romance which disrupted an imperial opera company, started a war among the aristocrats of Vienna and for three years kept the musical circles of two continents in general turmoil, ended the other day with a quiet little marriage in the city hall. One of the participants was Lucile Wasself, a Harlem girl, who, under the stage name of Lucille Marcel, is known as one of the world's great prima donnas; the other was Felix Weingartner, the famous conductor. The two met four years ago when Marcel, then virtually unknown, was selected by Richard Strauss to create the title role in that most difficult opera, "Elektra." Weingartner was conducting the Imperial opera company at Vienna, where the first production of the new opera was to be given. He was married at the time to Baroness Fedora von Dreifus, an intimate friend of the Archduchess Marie Valerie, Francis Joseph's younger daughter. These high connections, made the love affair vvhieh followed an event of extraordinary public interest. In a few months the entire aristocracy of Vienna was talking about it. Marcel resented certain criticisjns from court circles and, despite \n opei'A public which adored her, angrily resigned from the imperial company. Weingartner followed suit. The imperial orchestra went to pieces. The imperial public went mad. All over Europe musicians laughed at tbe discomfiture of the archduchess and her friend, rejoicing meanwhile at the independence of their fellow artists. All this because Mrs. Samuel E. Wasself of 961. Columbus avenue, Harlem, became convinced 12 years ago that her daughter could sing! There were five members of the Wasself family—Lucille, two brothers and two sisters. They lived over their father's drug store on Columbus avenue. Lucille was the only one who had a voice. Every one except her mother considered it a sad but undeserved affliction. Mrs. Wasself, through some mysterious faculty that had been denied the rest of the family, perceived that it contained extraordinary qualities. As soon as Lucille had graduated from the Eighty-ninth street grammar school, an event which transpired in 1900, her mother took her to Pario to study. She was a little girl, beautiful then as she i3 now. Her beauty, after four years, gained her a position in the Opera Comique, which paid her a salary of $60 a month, not a great amount, to be sure, but, sufficient to restore tho railing nuances of mother and daughter. But uhe did not stay at the Opera Comique long. One night Jean de Reuzke, the opera tenor, whose chief delight is the development of new voices for the grand opora stage, heard her rendition of a little chanson. He visited her the next day and told her that she* would havo to give up the Opera Comique and become his pupil. For another four years Lucille studied undertthe great man Then, in .1909, came the chance cof her lifetime. Richard Strauss, desperate at his failure to obtain a prima donna of sufficient vitality, voice and dramatic ability to create the difficult role ot Elektra, begged de ltess&kc to help hiia. "1 have the woman," said de Reszke. "She is young; she is beautiful, she is graceful, and she has the voice of an inspired angel." Lucille was retained. Strauss met her in Vienna and introduced her to Felix Weingartner. The rehearsals began. The conductor then v forty-five years old. To musical Europe he was known as "the wandering genius." Unlike most musicians of taleiu, he had never been content to settle down in one of the various imperial orchebtras, which are scattered over the continent. He had at one time been a conductor of the Berlin Opera Royal, the kaiser's official company, but, failing to adjust his musical convictions to those of his royal patron, had unceremoniously resigned. His posts, as conductor, had ranged from Vienna to New York. In 1905 the New York Symphony paid him $12,000 to conduct eight concerts. Prohibited by royal decree from playing within 20 miles of Rerlin, he had filed suit against the kaiser for an annulment of the agreement which the Ge.-man emperor declared still bound him to the Berlin Opera Royal. The suit was promptly decided against him, and he gave a series of concerts in a little village just outside the limita set by the emperor's decree. Some idea of his German popularity may be gained from the fact that, despite their distance from the capital, these concerts were an immense financial success. This was the man who was fated to inspire love, for the first time, in the heart of Lucille Marcel. With each rehearsal of Strauss' tremendous opera their mutual interest grew deeper. Their souls shook as the mad gusts of Elektra's death dance whirled them together through the wild realms of nethermost-harmony. Their passion fed on the fierce flames of the Strauss masterpiece. When Lucille sang her voice, shrilling with the rapture of love and youth and hate and desire, was not for the audience, but for the lean, erect, leonine-featured man whose brain swayed the harnessed passions of a hundred instruments. There could be but one result. They fell ln love, madly in love-—a love so wild and engrossing that Its existence was perceptible in every word and movement. Other members of ^ the company began talking. The gossip, spreading daily, soon came to the ears of the baroness. Now, in Vienna, like Berlin, the affairs of the imperial orchestra are guided, more or less directly, by the hand of the court. The baroness was powerful. In a short time it was delicately suggested to the new prima donna that she discourage Weingartner in his attentions. The new prima donna delicately told the suggestion givers to mind their own business. Thereupon they became insistent and Marcel, furious at that which she considered an intrusion upon her private affairs, resigned. Vienna was outraged. It demanded that she be reinstated. It denounced the baroness, the archduchess, the whole coart. And at the height of Us indignation, Weingartner brought suit for divorce. Then he resigned his post. It was whispered that there was nothing else for him to do. The public ,wa*s more furious than ever against the edict* Through the good work of the government fish hatchery at Boothbay Harbor, Me., the cod industry* along the Maine coast is improving each year. Although it was feared a few years ago that the cod were fast being exterminated, fishermen now report that they are multiplying and that prices are better than ever. Cod eggs are collected along the Maine coast by the little steamer Gannett, owned by the government and commanded by Capt. George Greenleaf. Often the steamer collects/from 1,000.000 to 2.000,000 eggs^af a time and then carries^ them toyfne hatchery, where they are ^seiefitifically treated. When the fry are large enough to look out for themselves they are liberated. The government hai spent thousands of dollars upon the local station and has succeeded in interesting the fishermen in the work. The fishermen it.variably set aside a spawning cod to avait tl * arrival of the steamer Gannett, which frequently visits the fishing grounds. Probably no man in the country is more familiar with the haunts and characteristics of the codfish than Captain Greenleaf, who says: / "Why, bless your life, son, the cod is one of thf ugliest fish afloat He ten't naturally savage like the dogfish, tut he is easily miffed and 1s always ready to act fn self-defense if he thinks himself in danger. "Say, perhrps you won't believe it, but it's true as gospel, a codfish will tackle anything when he feels like It. They'll eat anything, too. fcer hear of .a cod eating a coot for-dinner? Well, it's a fact they'll do it when they jret-a^chance and I've known them to eat whole lobsters without waiting to have the shells picked off. "Rut I started to tell you about that cod that swallowed the coot. One day we got a seed cod aboard the Gannett. It was one of the biggest I ever saw and weighed about 75 pounds. My men expected a big haul but not many spawns were scraped from it and we were all surprised. So the men decided to cut the fish open and when they did this out uropped a sea coot from the inside, "The bird was a beauty, and wasn't injured a bit. It wasn't mussed and hadn't been chewed up at all, showing that it was swallowed without any apparent n* crt." "How do you account for the coot coming in the way of the big fish?" "Well, I don't really know, but I suppose that bird was flying over the water and possibly might have stopped to stick his head down under when the cod suddenly saw him and with one gulp swallowed him." ' Then Captain Greenleaf related stories of finding lobsters inside some of the big codfish taken to the hatchery. •That's nothing new,*' remarked the captain, "but I was surprised one day when we pulled out a lobster nine inches ) long. We have often found little ones only four or five inches long. "You can't get ahead of a eddfish much. They'll take care of themselves under any circumstances. Just think of a fish taking on ballast so he can better control himself to meet the elements. "He goes to the bottom, swallows several gooc' sized stones to give him weight and then he is ready to take care of himself in the oig seas. How do I know this? Why,mr.n alive, we've cut open hundreds of them with rocks in their.stomachs, but this never happens except after a severe storm. We never find them before the storm and so this just bears out my claim that they take on ballast so they can handle themselves better." In Their Steps.

"My hUBband had tried to enlist in Wisconsin and Iowa, but he could not meet the physical requirements. In October of 1864 he succeeded in entering the Ninth Illinois regiment He went to Rock Island to enlist and then came back to LeClaire. The next day he went to be sworn In and expected to return to say good-bye to me.

The "church-house" (of a week-day the schoolhouse)' crowned a gentle rise of ground on the outskirts of an Arkansas plantation. It was basked by the great gum forests, where the sun rose, while on one side, winding toward the reddening evening sftles, the cypress slash had eaten its way through' the brown clay to the Black river. Full of mystery and uncanny beauty was the slash, its sluggish gleam of water creeping darkly under solemn cypresses and monstrous hackberry- trees, tinseled with cow-lilies in summer, spattered with blood-red berries in winter, green with delicate beauty when the cypress is in leaf, or gray and softly brown when its shortleaved foliage falls. Did one care to deal in mystical analogy, one might find in the slash suggestions of the African's undeveloped soul, where brute and child still battle for mastery. It was a school-house for children of the darker race only and only negroes were in the little hand whose hymns penetrated the wide sweep of cottonflelds, the weird, African cadences wilder and more mournful than the hoot-owl's oboe keening in the forest.

Dey went by whole famblies; an' befo' she be'n frow mighty nigh ever' las' cmT b'en taken outside. We didn't dast let 'em see frow it." (Groans all over the house.) "She nigh bust de chu'eh on de Sixth Commandmint wid outrageous remaTts on razors. An* next Sunday comes de Seventh Commandmint, an' we ain't nowise willin' to enjure her handlin* of dat, nohow." (Deep groans of assent from brothers and sisters alike.) "Nor de Eight' neider." (No, no!" from the seat of Uncle Alexander Pope.) "Wust Is, de ongodly outside, de Methodists anf de cullud folks from de Ridge, is fixin' to come over an' see we-all ripped up.

"Holp, Lord!" from earnest souls in the audience.) "An* de chu'eh is losin' of members. Bruddah Dan Williams done moved away." ("No, sah, no, he ain't; he be'n sent to de pen") "I didn't say how come he moved, Brudder Carroll; he are gone. Unc' Jim Hollis ror. At present speaking, the dark enchantress was the lawful wedded wife of the young blacksmith, and the whole population had admired to see her enter the holy estate in white Swiss mustin and a voluminous veil which she- utilized, later, as a windowcurtain." She now inquired with much pleasing modesty of mien: "I jest want I his brows; to ask, Mist' Cheerman, how're we-all to git Sist' Humphreys to go if she don* wanter?" Sighs, allied to. groans, bore testimony that she had voiced the forebodings of the audience. But a visiting brother who had the courage of his non-resideu.ee, came to the front; peace wid God. Oh, I did be'n in de brack water, wadin' deep! Look laak- I c'u'dn't enjure hit nohow. I reckon I does nebber be able to see so well 'cause 1 cry so stiddy dem days.

Blessed be de name of de Lawd, an' blessed be dat 'oman dat is his ministah!" She sank down in her seat and wept quietly, while the impressionable African temperament sent forth pious ejaculations: "Holp, Lawd!" "Fotch comfort!" "Bless de mo'nahs!" The schoolmistress was in tears, and the stalwart young man near her openly wiped his eyes. Brother Moore bent even Brother Morrow winked hard; but Sister Susannah's emotion was most in evidence; she was sobbing violently into a pink-embroidered handkerchief. Presently she rose to her feet. Now Susannah was the woman who had lured the wretched murderer through a brutal passion to a brutal crime, and the faces of Sister Humphreys' supporters through her half-shut eyes, and smiled her languid, mysterious smile. But of a sudden one of the two striplings who had spoken for Sister Humphreys left his place by the window and ran to the door. With instant premoni'ion of peril, the Mock of Zion turned on the benches'. A deep intake of, breath signified their dismay as there entered a tall brown woman in widow's weeds. She casfc a calm, full eye over the faces un^ der the lamplights—faces already stricken awry with fear; for, notwithstanding their numbers and apparent strength of position, dread of the pastor insisted, as light insists through closed eyelids. Sister Humphreys walked with no pause to the platform. Brother Morrow was so short a man and she was so tall a woman that her handsome head towered above his. She was a brown negro, but her lighter color and her regular features and thinner, more sensitive lips were due to no admixture of white bipod; they came from a dash of the yellow races mixed long before her time in the old world, where her ancestors were barbaric princes. She stood with the incomparable grace that is given sometimes to the bearer of burdens, tall, erect, shapely. She spoke in a mellow rich voice not raised a note above its speaking tone. "Is this heah a meetin'?" gently interrogated Sister Humphreys of Brother Morrow, "or have you-all done aju'ned?" ,;'We done aju'ned, sistah," Brother Morrow replied quickly, flinching from a possible trap. "In that case," Sister Humphreys argued at once, "will you kindly take you' seat an* let me speak fo' de las' time to Zion Baptis' chu'eh?" It was impossible to refuse a hear- Dat a T T e m a r h i n c i n e r a t e d f a b e &ri uricKed n o t i o n s ' b o u t Unc* A U c K Pope, who h i r e s n i g h d e c i u v n e l V chlcKen- ••Mist' Cheerman"—a grizzJerTnegrrr done 'bandon hjs crop. Aunt Caledonia Ray, let* las' week 'count of in* jur'us reflections 'bout a mince pie she done mix up by mistake wid de week's wash she taken fum de big house. We done pled wid Sist* Humphreys to quit; but she won't quit. Now de question am; How shill we git saved fom Sist' Humphreys an' git a preacher will preach religion—an' nuffin else?" ^ Amid a deep hum of applause Broth* er Morrow sat down. Half a dozen voices begged for attention; but the he suggested that a letter be sent to the sister, announcing the sense of the meeting, saying that the congregation was not edified by her ministrations and that the church-house would be closed until a new pastor had been selected. "De motion, as de cheerun'erstands it, are to dismiss Sist' Esmereldy Humphreys an' shet de do's on her," said the chairman. "Is—what is it, Sist' Macklin?" He spoke kindly, and the woman whom he addressed seemed in need of kindness, since she was trembling visibly. She was a little creature in the pathetic compromise for mourning which poverty makes with grief—her accustomed winter jacket of brown, but with a somber garnishment of crape, black ribbons on her old gray hat, and a black border to her handkerchief. The/congregation looked at her, pityingly,/ as she began in the high-pitched voice I of the unaccustomed speaker: "Bruddah Morrow—I mean Bruddaft Cheerman, I are right mortified Sist' Humphreys done chastise you all; but 1 Jest got to b'ar my testimony you-all are mistaken 'bout her bein' crool. Oh, dear bruddahs an' sistahs, she ain't! You-all knows my—my boy"—she choked over the word, and the hearers waited in mute and awkward cpmp sion, because her boy, the last of he children,- had been hanged at the little county-seat only a month before for the murder of his wife—"my boy w'u'dn't repent; he w'u'dn't do nuffin Mit cuss de woman dat fotch him dar an' den nebber so much look at him. I snen' eVer' Ins' cent I had on earth to. try git him off, an' I taken de Jail wash, I did, to be nigh 'im an' mabbe git him a bite like he's lister to eat; but he w'u'dn't paht lips wid me; sayd I be'n a good mudder to him, but he didn't want to h'ar tne beggin' an' pleadin' wid 'im to repent an' make eyes of the congregation were focused upon her. "Bruddahs, sistahs," said Susannah in her wonderful voice, with its chords of plaintive music, which made her hearers grin out of sheer emotion, "I nev' did aim to do dat po' young man hurt; but he sayd t'ings to me, t'ings"—she sighed and hung her head —"he hadn't orter have sayd, him bein' a married man; an' I be'n right mad at him, an' I own up I done him right onchristian an' onmussiful, for I didn't show no sympathy or even go see'm hanged. Now, I do repent. But it ain't nare preachin' of gist' Humphreys done give me a brokin an' a contrary hairt Her scorchin' don' make me mo'n. Hit cakes up my hairt.

Hit be'n forbid. Wo cayn't be Baptis* an' keep Sist' Humphreys." With meek grace Susannah resumed her seat and the sheltering support of the blacksmith's arm. She had won. Now that a way of escape was opened —a way, moreover^ ending in a dazfcling vista of a "big revival,"—no sympathy for the Widow Macklin could induce Zion to face the fiery chariots of the Seventh Commandment driven by Sister Humphreys. In spite of the schoolmistress' eloquence and the stumbling speech of two boys who tried to tell that Sister Humphreys had done a heap for them, when the vote was put, only Bix of the forty-eight persons present voted to retain the preacher. Brother Moore declined to vote. •' Stieannah watched the downcast ing. Brother,, Morrow shuffled <4nto a lower seat. "My people,"—a vague, incomprehensible thrill of apprehension and magnetic fascination Btirred the attentive faces, all save the Widow MacklJn's; hers was bent on her own withered, toil-crooked hands while she prayed—"I want to say, first, that I nev' did aim to keep on hu'tin' you' feelin's. But I am 'bleeged to save yon' souls. You-all know how my po' nusban' toiled an' prayed.

Besides this, it was taken as tjw symbol of a political career more Iwftf, brilliant and strange than any otlter of its time. The statesman was Lord Beaconsfleld, and in connection with him there was established in £tB£buzd a new festival called Primrose Day. Mythology as well as history claims the hum- Tile little flower, and tells a tale of its origin. The ?8tory Is that a beautiful youth namer Parallsos <tied of grief over the loss of his love, and was metamorphosed .into the primrose, which in its early days bore his name. TT&» fair spring blossoms which Mother Earth oent forth to herald the coming of Easter have been gossiping about each other. The tales they ten about the tulip, that bright favorite of Oriental tends, besides being highly romantic, verge on the,sensational. Its notorious career has been freely discussed among the less brilliant flowers, some> of which, in spite of their sweet, gentle dispositions, resent the tulip's regal bearing and courtly airs. Pew people have ever heard the storfjas they tell. In this busy, hustling age only poets and occasionally other unpractical folk find time to "trace the family trees" and history of Jtowers. Btd£ the tulip, as well as the other blossoms that are talked about, will probably be welcomed even snore cordially than of old into the churches ami the homes of the best families after its strange and wonderful past becomes known. The gay-petaled blossom gets its name from A-istmV larity to the Turkish headdress, and one: of the chief national festivals in the Sultan's land is knows as the feast of tulips. But the proud flower has done something more than please the Tortfes with its beauty. Owe upon a time it held just as great an influence over the financial affairs of some families soiWadl street has had over those of others. This all happened something over 300 years ago, when the tulip was first taken to western Europe. It was immediately enthroned as czar in the Jtoral kingdom, and so great was the rage for it ' In Holland and France that many families famed tor wealth were bankrupted by it. The neweuier's beauty made even the wise, staid Dutch florists mad, and speculation in costly bulbs became a terrible gambling mania among them. A Tare specimen often won a prize as high as that .¾ ;»rt*;..:!5er-;sa • highstepping race horse or a fine f 4ISJnond. Fortunes changed hands daily in bets ' ^':,4*er the final outcome of almost priceless seedfl^ T hnlbs.

The finest bulbs are •0. stfiR tamgbt from that Holland ^own, and are tfMsendants of those famous tulips.

A ''iQwlt' bunch of violets worn by a Frenchman, or seen in his- home, was a secret message that he was loyal to the exiled chieftain's cause. Ion was the name bestowed upon the violet by the imaginative Greek who loved to people the petals of every blossom and the ripples of every rill with fair creations of their fancy. According to mythology the name" was derived from la, the daughter of Midas and the betrothed of Atys. The story runs that Diana, desiring to conceal the maid from Apollo, transformed her into a violet. Another myth about the birth of the flower says that Jupiter caused the first violets to spring from the earth as food for the persecuted la while she was hiding in the form of a white heifer from the fury of Juno. The verse makers have a special fondness for the tiny flower, and love to translate the message it is trying, to tell to the rest of creation. It is a singular fact that some flowers suggest pensiveness and even melancholy, while in form, color and bearing others speak only of gladness. While the personality of the flower may be somewhat responsible for its effect on the human moods^^molre, perhaps, Is due to the strain of ^j)oet3r moods. Most of the Easter flowers seem* ^ to be message bearers of joy and hope, lifting their faces to the blue skies in happy worship rather than in sadness. It seems to be natural for poets to give names,and human attributes to plants, but the beauty loving Greeks went farther along the path of fancy. They invented, human originals for their favorite flowers, and made beautiful legends to account for the transformation.^ The lovely narcissus, according to their lore, was once a handsome young god who became so lost in admiration of his own shadow that he cruelly slighted the affections of the fair Echo. As a punishment for this crime he was changed into a narcissus, the flower of self love. Shakespeare alludes to another romantic legend in his "Winter Tale." The narcissus was said to have been the flower that the daughter „of Ceres was gathering when she was carried off by Pluto of infernal region fame. The night goddesses also chose it for their ancient coronet, and it was a highly important factor in the customs of Greek life. The Chinese, too, have a great fancy for fills' flower. They use it in many of their sacred ceremonies, and every family in the Mikado's realm takes great pride in having a plant in full bloom at the New Year. Love and jealousy played leading parts in tho story of the birth of the hyacinth, another Oriental favorite. There was a youth, Hyacinthus by name, who was much beloved by Apollo and Zephyr. He preferred the warm, steady affection of the sun to the fitful love of the wind. This made the pasionate Zephyr wildly jealous and caused the plotting of a terrible revenge. While Apollo and Hyacinthus were playing quoits, which was a favorite game with the gods, Zephyr saw his awaited opportunity. He made his rival the slayer of Hyacinthus, by blowing the god's <raoit toward the head of tbe youth. But while the „ dying boy was held in the arms of Apollo he was transformed Into the fair, fragrant hyacinth. The flower has always meant game or play because *ftbitfi*K m,....,. Every tradition associated with that Easter flower, the iris, makes it a beauty of richest promise. It signifies a message, and, because it grows in every part o£ the world, it is a universal message. The Greeks named it for the rainbow, but the Egyptians lay special claim to the flower. It is the plant spoken of in Exodus as being the hiding place of the infant Moses when he lay in the cradle of the rushes on the river's bosom. It may be that the flowers whispered to him then that his destiny was to lead his people to the promised land. The ancient Egyptians placed the iris on the brow of the sphinx and on the scepters o,f their monarchs, and among all the eastern nations it has ever been the symbol of power. Another land that highly honors it is France, for it is the veritable fleur-de-lis that figures on the arms of this country. But there is a most beautiful legend that makes the iris a sacred flower as well as a national emblem. The story tells that it was a trembling, agonized witness of the crucifixion. W,hen it heard the anguished cry, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" it sobbed out the vow, "Henceforth I will perpetually mo.urn, and, lest man should ever lose sight of this solemn hour, above my golden chalice I will carry a veil of violet." Ancient and important Is the history of the lily, which was also high in favor with the old Egyptians, for it appears prominently in their hieroglyphics. According to a pretty legend, when lilies first grew on the earth they were none of them pure white, but all of a lovely yellow hue." Seaborn Aphrodite in her happy wanderings suddenly appeared before them wondrouBly fair and bright and white as the foam of the waves from which she sprang. The lilies trembled before her beauty, and grew so pale with jealousy that ever after they blossomed white. First the goddess Juno chose it as her favorite flower, and, then passing to the Virgin Mary, it was dedicated to the early Christian church. Besides being the chosen flower of thef'church, it is also an imperial blossom. Away back in the days of 1048 Garcius IV,' king of Navarre, established the Order of the Knights of St. Mary of the Lily, and another Order of the Lily was founded by Ferdinand of Aragon. Dundee carries lilies argent on its arms and beautiful Florence claims the queenly flowers as its emblem. "The sweet forget-me-not that blooms for hap- • py lovers," has more beautiful legends clinging to its name than any other flower. According to one beautiful tale, the Lord called the plants in the Garden of Eden before him to give them their names and color. As he spoke to one after another, a tiny flower thought itself atindtlced and fearful of being quite overlooked, it timidly pleaded, "Dear Lord, forget me not." The great Creator turned sternly toward the little plant that had "dared to interrupt him, then seeing how sorely afraid it was, he gently smiled upon it, gave it for its color the heavens* own blue, and called it Forget-me-not, as a reminder that it had once been so foolish as to doubt him. It is the Persians who have fashioned a beautiful legend to tell how it is that these flowers are scattered over the earth as the stars are spread over the ' sky. According to them, ono morning of glory when the world was new, an angel stood weeping outside the closed gate of Paradise. He had fallen, in that he had loved a fair daughter of Earth. When his eyes had rested on her as she sat on a river's bank weaving ferget-me-nots in her hair, heaven and his mission to earth were alike forgotten. Now he might no more enter in until his beloved had sown all over the earth the forget-me-not. He returned to her and hand in hand .they wandep^d. planting everywhere the sweet azure flowers. When at last there remained on earth no spot barren of these blossoms, . they turned again to the gate and found it open. Together they entered in, for the angel's great love had lifted the woman to Paradise. Some authorities there are who do not hark back to the days of the Garden of Eden, but tell a pathetic tale of the Danube as the origin of the forget-mo-not's name. The blue waves of the river, washed the foundation walls of'a brave knight's ancestral castle. He had but just come home from the wars and laid his honors at the feet of his lady love. His bride and he were wandering along the river's bank when he exclaimed, "Look yonder; there, upon that islet; see those star-like blossoms blue as thine eyes." Instantly he sprang into the river and swam v toward the flowers. In safety he reached the isle and grasped the fragile prise, but when he tried to return with them to the shore his heSvy army made him helpless In tbe current Tossing the flowers to his trsntio bride with the ago&istaf ory ^rget*ie»ito{,'v *» **** trom tight o o m s F r e e For ^00 GALVANIC Soap Wrappers THESE SPOONS must not be confused with the USUAL premium silverware.

Many cases of typhoid fever, appendicitis and other severe diseases are traceable to prolonged clogging of the bowels. Regardthe effects of constipation, C . E. Ayers, 6 Sabin S t . , Montpelier, Vt, says: "I was afflicted with ' constipation and biliousness for years, and at times became so bad I would become unconscious. I have been found In that condition many times. Physicians did not seem to be able to 4a me any good. I woul^l become weak and for days at a time could do no work. Not long ago I got a box of Dr, Miles' Laxative Tablets, and after using them found I had never tried anything that acted in such a mild and effective manner, r believe I have at last found the remedy that iduits my case." Thousands of people are sufferers from habitual constipation and while possibly realizing something of the danger of this condition, yet neglect too long to employ proper curative measures until serious illness often results. The advice of all physicians is, "keep your bowels clean," and it's good advice. Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are sold by all druggists, at 25 cents a hex containing 25 doses.

The scheme was to get a picture to enlarge promising thatjit would n ot cost anything the only requirements were that the picture should be suitably framed and hung in ttjg home. When the pictures were shown, a week later Mr.Agent required that the owner of the picture snould buyja frame of him before he would let them have the picture for nothing.

K U H N , G R E G O R Y Upon embarking in business the first problem that faces the merchant is how to get customers, He starts out after business. That is advertising. He personally solicits trade or adopts some other mean of advertising his business. But one thing is certain, if any busings is ever built up it is built up through the medium of adverising Every business man must admit this, or why not start a business under ground-and the proprietor sit down waiting for business to to come to him? A well kept store in a good location, stocked with good goods at reasonable prices is an1 advertisement, A. merchant cannot hide his light under a bushel and be a success. He must advertise. There are vorioue ways of advertising, and for tbe sake of convenience and in the order of their importance we give them here: 1st Personal Advertising—where the merchant personally solic - ts business. 2nd Personal Letter Advertising—where the merchant write8 personal tetters to stimulate business. 3rd—Newspaper Advertising—where through tb* newspaper the merchant gives business news each week to thousands N 4th Circular and Other Advertising-r-where through circulars, bills, bill boards and all other means of publicity effort is made to inluence the trading public. There is no denying the advantage to a merchant in personally soliciting business, either visiting prospective customers personally or writing them personal letters. These are very effective ways of advertising, And at the same time *ery expensive ways of advertising. Newspaper advertising is the next best means of advertising and, price considered/it is by far the best advertising, \ , Copyright 1912 by Geo. E.

Fires Follow W i n d i n Stricken Cities and Destruction by Fire Is Great O w i n g to Inability of the F i r e m e n to W o r k Effectively D u r i n g the S t o r m . A terrific windstorm causing widespread destruction and loss of life and practically wrecking the already demoralized telegraph service raged over the central west and middle states late Sunday. Reports from Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Indiana indicate heavy dam age, but owing to the wrecking of the telegraph lines, the reports are fragmentary and lacking in detail. Omaha, Berlin, Ashland and Yutan, Neb.—the latter towns near Omaha— Marshalltown, Ackley, Woodbine and Carroll, Iowa; Terre Haute, Ind., and Abilene, Kan:, are places from which scattering messages carrying news of grave destruction have been received. The death list at Yutan was placed at 15 and the injured at 50. For more than four hours no word was received from stricken Omaha. Late bulletins report that half the city was swept by a tornado. All wires were down, and Berlin, a neighboring town, vvas said to be in flames. The message was received over a single long distance telephone -wire, which worked at intervals. Terre Haute Hard Hit. Terre Haute, Ind., suffered severely. Scores of persons were injured, an unknown number were overwhelmed in the ruins of houses blown down by the wind, and many fires were started in different parts of the city. First reports from Nebraska were that the towns visited by the storm had been wiped out and that the wreckage was on fie. Trains loaded with rescuers, nurses and physicians were t struggling toward the scene, being compelled to feel their way without running orders, owing to. the paralysis of the telegraph service. Iowa Escapes Worst. The loss of life and property in Iowa was less \ severe, according *o messages from the swept district. Dust storms, rain, hail and tremendous electrical disturbances prevailed over Kansas and Nebraska the greater part of the day. Where railroad service was impossible motor cars were pressed into service and surgeons and supplies were rushed to the wrecked towns at the best speed possible over the washed out roads. With no warning the terrific gale swept down upon the district. Parts of the Root Qlass company's plant were flattened. The end of the foundry room of the Garland factory', a solid brick wall 18 inches thick, was caved m. Brick and stone structures suffered aliker- LtgMning set fire to many houses. Men. women and children were crushed to death in bed. Some escaped to' the cellars. Whole structures were blown away by the force of the wind. The maimed were rushed to hospitals as fast as they were extricated. Rain Saves Scores. Difficulty was experienced in obtaining doctors and the firemen were un ablr. to cope with the flames which swept the district. The heavy downpour of rain is all that prevented scores of injured from being burned in tbe debris of their homes. Wlr. Stevens on P. M. Debt. That innocent stockholders would suffer and the reputation of the state would be blighted if the state made a reduction by force in the debt of the Pere Marquette railroad was the declaration made by Frederick W.

CHhaammbbeler-- Clahina,t elfariredn.d of Van Camp, goes after CHAPTER XVIII.—Continued. "Mr. Van Camp and his friend came in just after I'd put you to bed, Miss Redmond, and ate a bite of breakfast right off that table; and 'twas a mercy I'd cleared all the kulch outer the attic, as I did last week, for Mr. Van Camp he wanted a place to sleep; and he's up there now. Used to be a whole lot er the' parson's books up there; but I put them, on a shelf in the spare room. The other man went off toward the village." Agatha, looking about the pleasant kitchen, was tempted to linger. Sallie's conversation yielded, to the discerning, something of the rich essence of the past; and Agatha began to yearn for a better knowledge of the recluse who had been her friend, unknown, through all the years. But she remembered her industrious plans for the day and postponed her talk with Sallie. "I remember there used to be a grove, a stretch of wood, somewhere beyond the ehurch, Sallie. Which way Is it—along the path that goes through the churchyard?" "No, this way; right back er the yard. Parson Thayer he used to walkthat way quite often." Sallie wejif with Agatha to another stile beyond the churchyard, and pointed over the pasture to a fringe of dark trees along the farther border. "Right there by that apple tree, the path is. But don't go far, Miss Redmond; the woods ain't healthy." "All right, Sallie; thank you. I'll not stay long." She called Danny and started out through the pasture, with the hound, sober and dignified and happy, at her heels. The wood was cool and dim, with an uneven wagon road winding in and out between the stumps. Enormous euffcr^maptos1 reared tfceir forms here and there; occasionally a lithe birch lifted a tossing head; and, farther within, fctnes shot their straight trunks, arrow-like, up to the canopy above. Farther along, the road widened into a little cleajinjg, beyond which the birch and maple trees gave place entirely to pines and hemlocks. The underbrush disappeared, and a brown earpet of needles and cones spread far under the shaO»). The leafy rustle of the deciduous trees ceased, and a majestic stillness, deeper than thought, pervaded the place. At the clearing just within this deeper wood Agatha paused, sat down on a stone and took Danny's head in her lap. The dog looked up into her face with the wistful,, melancholy gaze of his kind, in* articulate yet eloquent. The sun. was nearly at zenith,, and bright flecks of light lay here and there over the brown earth. As Agatha grew accustomed to tho. shade, it seemed pleasant and not at all uncheerful— the gaiety of sunlight subdued? only to a softer tone. The resolution which had brought her thither returned. She stood up under the dome of pines, and began softly to sing, tiring her voice first In single tones, .then a scale of two, a trill* At first her voice was not clean but as she continued it emerged from its sheath of bwrkiness clear and finteHka, Ikfrid as the notes of t suited the woo4k| the exercise grew, and presently, warbling her songs there in the otherwise pleasant forest, Agatha became conscious of a strange accompaniment. £auBiug,a moment sho. j>erceive4 that the grove was vocal Wji|h toneclong aftjsr (her. voice had.C£$ed. It was not exactly an echo, but avslowly receding resonance, faint duplications, and multiplications of her voice, gently floating into the thickness of the* forest. Charmed, like a child who discovers some curious phenomenon of nature, Agatha tried her voice again and again, listening, between whiles, to the ghostly tones reverberating among the pines. She sang the slow majestic "Lascla ch'io pianga," which has tested every singer's voice since Handel wrote it; and then, curious, she tried the effect of the aerial sounding-board with quick, brilliant runs up and down the full range of the voice. But the effect was more beautiful with something melodious and somewhat slow; and there came to her mind an old-fashioned song which, as a girl, she had often sung with her mother: "Oh! that we two were maying Down the stream of the soft spring breeze." She sang the stanza through, softly, walking up and down among the pines. Danny, at first, walked up and down beside her gravely, and then lay down in the middle of the path, keeping an eye on Agatha's movements. Her voice, pitched at its softest, now seemed to be infinitely enlarged without being made louder, It carried far in among the trees, clear and soft as a wave-ripple. Entranced, Agatha began the second part of the song, just for the joy of singing: "Oh! that we two sat dreaming On the sward of some sheep-trimmed down—" when suddenly, from the distance, another voice took up the strain. Danny was instantly up and off to investigate, but presently came back wagging and begging his mistress to follow him. In spite of her surprise in hearing another voice complete the duet, Agatha went on with the song, half singing, half humming. It was a woman's voice that joined tier's, singing the part quite according to the book: "With*our limbs at rest on the quiet earth's breast And our souls at home with God!" The pine canopy spread the voices, first one and then the other, until the wood was like a vast cathedral filled with the softest music of the organ pipes. There was nobbdy in sight at first, but as Agatha followed the path, she presently saw* a white arm and skirt projecting from behind the trunk of a tree. Danny, wagging slowly, appeared to wish to make friends, and' before Agatha had time to wonder, the stranger emerged and came toward her with outstretched hand. "Ah, forgive me! 1 hid and then startled you;" but I was tempted by the song. And this forest temple— isn't it wonderful?" Agatha looked at the stranger, suddenly wondering if she were not some familiar but half-forgotten acquaintance of years agone. She was a beautiful dark woman, probably two or three years older than herself, mature and self-poised as only a woman of the cosmopolitan world can be. It might be that compared to her Agatha was a bit crude and unfinished, with the v>J£*y» of her full blossoming yet to come. She had no words at the moment, and the older woman, still holding Agatha's hand, explained. "I did not mean to steal in upon you; but as I came into tbe^grove 1 heard you singing Handel, and I couldn't resist listening. Your voice is wonderful! Especially here!" As she looked into Agatha's face, her sincere eyes and voice gave the praise that no one can resist, the tribute of one artist to another. "This is, indeed, a beautiful hall. 1 found it out just now by accident, when I came up here to practice and see if I had any voice left," said Agatha. She paused, as it suddenly occurred to her that the visitor might be James Hambleton's sister and that she was being delinquent as a hostess. "But come back to the house," she said. "This is not a hospitable place, exactly, to receive a guest" The stranger laughed gently. "Have you guessed who I am, then? No? Well, you ceo I had the advantage of you from the first. You arc Miss Redmond, and I followed you hero from thenouse where your servant gate me Uie directions. I am Mia* Reynler, ~ nle Reynler, and I am staying at ftUtitfe. Mr, Yah Camp—" and4 to own great surprise, Melanie blushed crimson at this point—"that is, we, my aunt and I, were Mr. Van Camp's guests on board the Sea Gull. When he heard of the wreck of the Jeanne D'Arc we put in to Charlesport; though he has probably explained all this to you. It was such "a relief and pleasure to Mr. Van Camp to find his cousin, ill as he was; for he had feared the worst." Agatha had not heard Miss Keynier's name before, but she knew vaguely that Mr. Van Camp had been with a yachting party when he arrived at Charlesport. Now that she was face to face with Bliss Reynler, a keen liking and interest, a (juick confidence, rose in her heart for her. "Then perhaps you Know Mr. Hambleton," said Agatha Impulsively. "The fever turned last night. Were you told that he is better?" '"No, I don't know him," said Melanie, shaking her head. "Nevertheless, I am heartily gl&d to hear that he is better. Much hotter, they said at the house." They had been standing at the place where Agatha had firs*; discovered her visitor, but now they turned back into the clearing. "Come and try the organ pipes again," she begged. They walked about the wood, singing first one strain and then another, testing the curiously beautiful properties/of the footing of friendliness. It was evident that each was capable of laying aside formality, when she wished to do so, pine dome. They; were quickly on a and each was, at heart, frank and sincere. Melanie's talent for song was not small, yet she recognized in Agatha a superior gift; while, to Agatha, Melanie Reynier seemed increasingly mature, polished, full of charm. They left the wood and wandered back through the pasture and over the stile, each learning many things in regard to the other. They spoke of the place and its'beauty, and Agatha told Melanie of the childhood memories which, for the first time, she had revived in their living background. "How our thoughts change!" she said at last. "As a child, I never felt this farm to be lonely; it was the most populous and entertaining place in all the world. I much preferred the wood to anything in the city, love it now, too; but it seems the essence of solitude, to me." . "That Is because you have been where the passions and restlessness of men have centered. One is never the same after that." "Strangely enough, the place now belongB to me," went on Agatha. "Parson Thayer, the former owner and resident, was my mother's guardian and friend, and left the place to me for her,sake." "Ah, that is well!" cried Melanie. "It will be your castle of retreat, your Sans-Souci, for all your life. I envy you! It is charming. Pastor— Parson, do you sayfr—Parson Thayer was a man of judgment" "Yes, and a man of strange and dominating personality, in his way. Everything about the house speaks of him and his tastes. Even Danny here follows me, I really believe, because I am beginning to appreciate his former master." Agatha stooped and patted the dog's head. Youth and health, helped by the sympathy of a friend, were working wonders in Agatha. She beamed with happiness. ^ "Come into the house," she begged Melanie, "and look at some of his books with me. But first we'll find Sallie and get luncheon, and perhaps Mr. Van Camp will appear by that time. Poor man, he was quite worn out. Then you shall see Parson Thayer's books and flowers, if you will."* They strolled over the velvet lawn toward the front of the house, where the door and the long windows stood open. Down by the road, and close to the lilac bushes that flanked the gateway, stood a large silver-white automobile—-evidently Miss Reynier's conveyance. The driver of the machine had disappeared. "I mustn't trespass on your kindness for luncheon today, thank you," Melanie was saying; "but I'll come again soon, if I may." Meantime she was moving slowly down the walk. But Agatha would not have it so. She clung to this woman friend with an unwonted eagerness, Pegging her to stay. "We are quite alon*\ and wo have been so miserable over Mr. Hambleton's illness," she pleaded quite illogically. . "Do stay and cheer us up!" And so Melanie was persuaded; easily, too, except for her compunctions about abusing the hospitality of a household whole first care must necostartly be for the sick. "I want to stay," she said frankly. restfillness ; itself; ai^d- I haven't seen toe garden jatj dill" f&hl Walked bajck over the l 4 w n . lc^okeu* admiringly but toward the garden, with its purple and yellow floral's; theric| gassed into the lofty thieketjj above her? head, where the high \elm abroad* its century-old branches. Agatha, standing a little apart and looking at Melanie, was again struck by some haunting familiarity about her face and figure., She wondered where she could have seen :Mias:Reynjier before. : Aleck Van Camp, appearing round the corner of the house, made elaborate bows to the two ladles. "Good morning, Miss Redmond!" He greeted her cordially, plainly glad to see her. "I slept the sleep of the blest up there in your fragrant loft. Good morning, Miss Reynier!" He walked over and formally took Melanie's band for an instant. "I knew it was decreed that you two should be friends," he went on, in his deliberate way. "In fact, IVe been watttng'fori the moment when I could have the plea^areTofJn? troducing you myself, and here you have managed to dispense, with my services* altogether: But let me escort you into the house. Sallie says her raised biscuits are all ready for luncheon." Agatha, looking at her new friend's vivid face, saw that Mr. Van Camp was not an unwelcome addition to their number. She had a quick superstitious feeling of happiness at the thought that the old red house, gathering elements of joy about its roof, was her possession and her home. "I've promised to show Miss Reynier some queer old books after luncheon," she said. Aleck wrinkled his brow. "I'll try not to be jealous of them." CHAPTER XIX. Mr. Chamberlain, Sleuth. Unbeknown to himself, Mr. Chamberlain possessed the soul of a conspirator. Leaving Aleck Van Camp at the crisp edge of the day, he fell Into deep thought as he walked toward the village. As he reviewed the information^ he had received, he came more and more to adopt Agatha's caus4 as his own, and his spirit was fanned into the glow incident to the chase. He walked briskly over the country road, descended the steep hill, turning over the facts, as he knew them, in his mind. By the time he reached Charlesport, he regarded his honor as a gentleman involved In the capture of the Frenchman. His knowledge of the methods of legal prosecutions, even in his own country, was extremely hazy. He had never been in a situation, in his hitherto peaceful career, in which it had been necessary to appeal to the law, either on his own behalf or on that of his friends. Legal processes In America were even less known to him, but he was not daunted on that account. He remembered Shelock Holmes and Raffles; he recalled Bill Sykes and Dubosc, dodging the operations of justice; and in that romantic chamber that lurks somewhere in every man's make-up, he felt that classic tradition had armed him with all the preparation necessary for heroic achievement. He, Chamberlain, was unexpectedly called upon to act as an agent of justice against chicanery and violence, and it was not in him to shirk the task. His labors, which, for the greater part of his life, had been expended in tracing the evolution of blind fish in inland caves, had not especially fitted him for dealing with the details of such a case as Agatha's; but they had left him eminently well equipped for discerning right principles and embracing them. Chamberlain's first move was to visit Big Simon, who directed him to the house of the justice of the peace, Israel Cady. Squire Cady, in his shirtsleeves and wearing an old faded silk hat, was in his side yard endeavoring to coax the fruit down gently from a flourishing pear tree. "You wait just a minute, If you please, until I get these two plump peai^ down, and I'll be right there," he called courteously, without looking away from his Icng-handled wire scoop. Mr. Chamberlain strolled into the yard, and after watching Squire Cady's exertions for a minute or two, offered to wield the pole himself. "tikes a pru-uty steady hand to get those big ones off without bruising theto," cautioned the squire. But Chamberlain's hand was stead iness itself, and his eyesight much keener than the old man's. The result was highly satisfactory. No less than a dozen ripe pears were twitched off, just in the nick of time, so far as the eater was concerned. "Well, thank you, sir; thank you," said Squire Cady. "That just goes to show what the younger generation can do. Now then, let's see. Got any pockets?" He picked out six of the best pears and piled, them in , Chamberlains hands, then took off his rusty, ,oldfashioned fhatiraad; filled it fwith the rest of the fruit. ChainberJLain carefully stowed his treasures into the wide ppckqts pf,,his, .tweed ( su.it. "Now, sir," Squire Cady Baid heartily, "we'll go into my office and attend to business. I'm not equal to Cincinnatus, whom they found plowing kis field, but I can take care of my garden. Come in, sir, come in." Chamberlain followed the tall spare old figure into the house. The squire disappeared with his pears, leaving his visitor in the narrow hall; but he returned In a moment and led the way into his office. It was a large, ragcarpeted room, filled with all those worsted knicknacks which women make, and littered comfortably with books and papers. Squire Cady put on a flowered dressing- gown, drew a pair of spectacles out of a pocket, a bandana handker* chief from another, and requested Chamberlain to sit down and* make himself at .home. The two men sat facing each other near a tall sacc* tary^ whose pigeonholes were stuffed, with papers in all stages of the yellowing process. Squire Cady's face was yellowing, like his papers, and it was wrinkled and careworn; but his eyes were bright and humorous, and his voice pleasant. Chamberlain thought he liked him. "Come to get a marriage license?" the squire inquired. Chamberlain immediately decided that he didn't like him, but he foolishly blushed. "No, it's another sort of matter," he said stiffly. "Not a marriage license! All right, my boy," agreed Squire Cady. " 'Tisn't the fashion to marry young nowadays, I know, though 'twas the fashion in my day. Not a wedding! What then?" Then Chamberlain set to work to tell his story. Placed, as it were, face to face with the law, he realized that he was but poorly equipped for carrying on actual proceedings, even though they might be against Belial himself; but he made a good front and persuaded Squire Cady that there was something to be done. The squire was visibly affected at the mention of the old red house, and fell into a revery, looking off toward the fields and tapping his spectacles on the desk. "Hercules Thayer and I read Latin together when we were boys," he said, turning to Chamberlain with a reminiscent smile on his old face. "And he licked me for liking Hannibal better than Scipio." He laughed heartily.' The faces of the old sometimes become like pictured parchments, and seem to be lighted from within by a faint, steady gleam, almost more beautiful than the fire of youth. As Chamberlain looked, he decided once more, and finally, that he liked Squire Cady. "But I gpt even with Hercules on Horace," tho squire went on, chuckling at his memories. "However," he sighed, as he turned toward his desk again, "this, isn't getting out that warrant for you. We .don't want any malefactors loose about Charlesport; but you'll have to be sure you Itnow what you're doing. Do you know the man—can you identify him?" "I think I should know him; but in any case Miss Redmond at the old red house can identify him." "We don't want to arrest anybody till we're sure we know what we're about—that's poor law," said Squire Cady, in a pedagogical and squire-ish tone, as if Chamberlain were a mere boy. But the Englishman didn't mind that. "I think I can satisfy you that we've got the right man," he answered . "If I find him and bring him to the old red house this afternoon, so that Miss Redmond can identify him, will you have a Bheriff ready to serve the warrant?" "Yes, I can do that." "Very well, then, and thank you, »sir," said Chamberlain, moving toward the door. "And I'm. keen on hearing how you got even with Mr. Thayer on the Horace." The light behind the squire's parchment face gleamed a moment. "Come back, my boy, when you've done your duty by the law. Every citizen should be a protector as well, as a keeper of the law. So corns again; the latch-string is always outM It was mid-morning before the details connected with the sheriff were completed. By this time Chamberlain's heavy but sound, temperament had lifted itself to its task, gaining momentum as the hours went by His next step was to search out tho Frenchman. The meager information obtained the day before was to the effect that the marooned yachtowner had taken refuge in one of the shacks near the granite docks in the upper part of the village. He had persuaded the caretaker of the sailors' reading room to lend him money 'with which to telegraph to New York, as the telegraph operator had refused to trust him. CTO BR CONTINUED.)

Many have bee in places like London, Paris and New York cave dwellers, confined for most of their waking and sleeping hours in windless places artificially lighted^ monotonously warmed. In such an environment rarely do they •ee the sun, for this energizer of the world and given of al) things that make for the health and happiness of man is obscured by tall buildings and the smoke of the factories. Modern civilization, therefore, has weakened us by withdrawing ninny from the struggle with the rigors of nature. What I he average citizen of the great centers of population strives for is the comfort of a full stomach and the warm atrhosphere afforded by thick clothing, wind-shielded dwellings and artificial heat during tfie winter season. . , /r. As neither cold nor hunger arc comfortable, many make the mistake ^imagining they can make themselves strong by what is termed good pg. They do not know that the bracing effect of cold is of supreme rtance to health and a joyous existence. Men become soft and flabby less resistant to-ihe attacks of infecting bacterio in the winter, not •hecause of the cold, but from their excessive precautions to shield their bodies. The prime cause of cpld or chill, therefore, is not due to exposure to the, air, but to the superheated and confined atmosphere of rooms, factories And public buildings. Aiding these bad agencies are others, such as ill— chosen diet, the monotony and sedentary nature of daily work, a windless, Sunless and uniform atmosphere, and above all the neglect of vigorous ihuscular exercise in the open air with the accompanying exposure to the winds and light of heaven. All these, together with the difficulties in ihe way of living a normal •exual life, go to make the pale, undeveloped, neurotic and joyless beings of whom so many are in evidence that some thinkers wrongly allege the whole world is degenerate. Nurture in unnatural surroundings, not nature's error, creates the criminal and the wastrel. side is also a mystery which prison officials would he glad to fathom. In prison parlance it is called the "underground." The convicts are allowed to write home once a month, but each letter is first read by the prison chaplain. If there is anything improper in it the letter is withheld. But the improper letters never go out by way of the chaplain. , The underground system takes care of them. Escapes Planned by "Underground." Criminals in the big prisons have been known to conduct a series of successful crimes by communicating with accomplices on the outside. Bribing the under keepers would be one way, but the system i£ too general to be worked in that fashion. Escapes are always planned and carried out through the underground method. What has been generally accepted as a most remarkable instance of this sort occurred only a few years ago when Pallister and Roehl made their escape from the death house, where the guard is most strict. These two condemned men received no special, favors from the prison management. They were constantly under observation, and they were in that part of the prison where the watch is most strict.' They were carefully searched and so far as the guards knew they never had the least chance for communication with each other. One stormy night they made their escape together, and it was sensational, and, so far as the prison authorities were concerned, it was a success, Two bodies were found in the Hudson river some days later, and they wore identified as the bodies of Pallister find Roehl. All the circumstances pointed td outside aid, and in order that such assistance might be effective Pallister and Roehl must have communicated their plans to the men who assisted them. No clew has ever been discovered as to how this was done. And this is only one instance out of many where "underground" letters have done their work.

Of course, it is reasonable to suppose that everybody prefers sanitary conditions, but it is a question whether every housekeeper or housewife knows the definition of sanitation—that is, when applied to the borne. Nor does every housekeeper know how to keep a perfectly clean fame, as there are, I dare say, a large majority who clean in spots—that is, jfof opftte visible to the eye of friends or callers. Yet undoubtedly such persons feel that they are clean housekeepers. 'Sho essential places in housekeeping to be watched are the corners, under tbe beds, the bed springs and the carpeted stairs. ^ ¾ ¾ the places in the home that your friends do not see in a aani- There ought to be an ordinance passed by the city council giving the health^department the authority to compel people to keep their porches clean, tfotwithatanding the fact that they are exposed to the air, I am ggftjffiufl th*t there have been any number of germs hatched out on some liibhaa I hat* seen. ^jjy j$ j$ that the windows are given so little attention in moat homes? $ho wlndowa i& a home are like the eyes in the head, therefore they ought i i w ^ .

Ex-Attorney General Wickersham is planning to humanize the regulations governing federal prisoners. Instead of compelling convicts to eat their meals at long tables, with the injunction that they must not speak to their neighbors, as has been the custom for many years, Mr. Wickersham intended to have eight convicts jated at each table and give them the privilege of conversing during meals. Silence is supposed to» reign supreme in most of the great prisons, but despite the closest watching convicts talk often, and how they do it is a mystery which the officials of every large prison the World over would like to solve. In Paris and in London, where the discipline is even stricter than in this coustry, the convicts have a system or esfchanging information. Keepers who have been among convicts many years have endeavored to discover the trick, but without result. Not only do the convicts manage to exchange news, but they do other things. For instance, a man who had been confined for twenty years left the prison on his release whistling one of the latest j popular songs. How he managed to pick up tbe tune and retain the notes in his memory is yet an unsolved mystery. News "Soaks" Througfc Prison Walls. If there were anotfter presidential election today, nearly every convict in Sing Sing would know who was elected the first tiring tomorrow morning and just how the different states stood. Every important news event which happens the world over they know about, yet to read a news* paper or to he caught with one is a serious offense. When a noted prisoner arrives*, like a murderer doomed to the death chair, every con* viet knows all about it before the clerk has finished talking his pedigree. Yet, as a rule, convicts are separated In large buildings. News travels in* credibly fast there and so silently that the vigilance of tbe keepers counts tor naught It seems to soak in through tbe stone walls and make its presence felt only to tbe unfortunates, Baoh oonvict, except is rare Iset*****. ktewa the criminal history as it is possible to enforce it In an institution where the prisoners are not kept in solitary confinement. When the men are in the workshop or in the yards they are almost constantly under the eyes of the guards. They march to and from theU> work In the lock step. There is not an instant when the men are not watched. Of course, some of the tricks of communication have been discovered, but these are only resorted to when particular convicts wish tb converse. Fake Fights Cover Communications* The fake fight is a common trick. Two convicts without a word of warning will spring at each other like enraged tigers, and, clutching one another around the neck, will roll over the ground in a perfect frenzy of rage. Blows and kicks will he dealt with terrific force* but all the time valuable words will be exchanged. Genuine fights of this kind are of common occurrence, and so faithfully are the fake fights carried out that it 1b difilcult to distinguish the fake from the real Criminals who were bitter enemies in the outside world often meet for the first time within the confines of the federal prison, and when they come together a fierce but short fight eventually takes place. That accounts for the number of genuine fights. Criminal lawyers, who perhaps know as much about convicts, if not more than the prison officials themselves, say that they do have weU recognized codes of communication. One of the- best known methods of this kind consists of a series of raps corresponding to tbe Morse telegraph* io code. If a prisoner understands telegraphy he may transmit messages to another prisoner, who is also a telegrapher, by rapping out the Morse code in his cell or in the workshop or messroom without very much fear Of detection. Of course tbe success of the plan depends upon both men knowing the Morse code, but a knowledge of telegraphy is so common now* adays and so useful to tbe experienced crook that many of them do know i t In some of the carelessly constructed prisons it has been dls* covered that tbe convicts bave used the water pipes to construct a series of speaking tubes, and in several cases they have planned escapes in tils way. 1 The system by which prisonefcs communicate with frjtnds on the on* Vehement Protests Madte Against Pufr lie Sale of Epistles belonging tc ' the Poet Browning. The coming auction sale in London of the original of1 the Poet Browning's love letters, which have already been published in book forta, has raised anew the question whether it is proper to sell love letters. In this case the sale is being effected by an Italian lady friend of the poet's son, who died recently, leaving her the Browning family papers. But people who tolerated without a word of protest the publishing of the contents of these letters now fiercely reprobate the sale of the actual documents. Marie Corelli says: "I think the sale by auction or otherwise of any private letters whatsoever a disgrace to the venders and a scandal to the nation." Baroness Orczy gives .this opinion: "A public sale of a man's most intimate letters is a positive outrage. Money-seeking vulgarity can go no further." Stephen Phillips thinks "the letters should certainly not be sold; it is, indeed, to sell cheap what is most dear." Clement Shorter takes this view: "Browning's son should have destroyed everything he didn't publish." —£Jew York World. Beyond Her Means. A young wife who had received some elegant and expensive wedding presents gave a select luncheon and used on the table several of the choicest pieces of her china, among them being an exceedingly fine platter of Royal Worcester. She gave her servant strict instructions to leave all good pieces for her to wash so that there could be no accident. As,soon as her friends had left the young woman went to the kitchen. Immediately she missed the finest dish and asked where it was. "Sure, ma'am;' said the girl, "I bruk it." "Oh, Bridget!^ she exclaimed in horror. "But, I did what you said, ma'am. I kept the best pieces for you to wash." The woman threw herself into the nearest chair and bega& to bewail her loss, "fridgetr said she, "that was the finest piece of china I owned or ever expect to own. I shall never, never be rich enough to buy another like it" "Oh, we.ll, ma'am," replied the servant girl, folding /her arms, "if you live beyond your means you mustn't blame me for it." The Water Wagon. A man had lived1 in the city for several years and become so valuable to his political party that he was rewarded by being elected as alderman in bis ward. One of his first acts was to secure a street sprinkling route for his cousin, in whose home be had lived when a child. This cousin returned to his former home for a visit and confided to his mother, the alderman's aunt, that he would be better off IT he didn't fall off the water wagon so much. Some months later the alderman also visited his old borne and bis sunt said: "Are ye still .alderman, John?1' John said that he was* "Then can't you," said she, "get Tom excused from riding around on that water wagont sad do keep off from it yourself. Tom says that you are falling off all tbe time and I haven't slept for weeks for worryins about the-two e* yew," 7 * Comrade Samuel Bright a few weeks ago wrote about "the night we crossed the Catawba," and said that whoever was there would remember It I remember;- I was there, The-Second brigade, First division, Fourteenth corps, were there nearly a week before we were able to cross. Owing to the heavy rains, our brigade had charge of the pontoons belonging to the left wing of the army. Our regiment, the Sixty-ninth Ohio, did not do much of the work on the bridge; that was done by the Fifty-eighth Indiana, and Twenty-third and Nineteenth Michigan, writes 0. P. Paulding of Santa Maria, Cal., in the National Tribune. We had no cable that would hold the pontoons, so we put down trees and trimmed.off the tops and left the limbs sticking out about a foot or more. To these logs we tied stones and ropes, and took them out in the stream above the place where the bridge was to be placed, and dropped them into the stream, where they serveqj as anchors—at least some, of them did. Some failed to stick on the bottom, and the least pull would move them. We were much hampered from the want of rope; we used all the stay chains on the wagons. We finally got enough to stick and hold the pontoons so the army could cross. , The bridge broke several times, but finally all had crossed except our regiment. Just before the bridge was taken' up we we're sent out on the skirmish line. There were only about 90 of us on the Johnny side of the river. We were strung along in squads of from two to ten over a front of a third of a mile, and one-half a mile back from the river. The adjutant general of the division, Capt. Smith, of whom it can be well said there, never was a better man, inspected the line and gave each man a word of cheer. Did we need it? Well, yes. While the captain was talking to the two of us, who were behind an old fireplace, we could see Butler's brigade of'cavalry, with part of Wheeler's and Hampton's troops, form in line not over three-quarters of a mile from us. They sent out a line of not less than 300 men as skirmishers. There were two small ravines between us and the enemy, and soon we saw the enemy disai^jar in the farthest ravine, but only for a minute; then they ran to the second ravine. After waiting awhile on they came. We fired on them, and they went back to the ravine, but soon they came again. They got the second fire, but kept on coming. A part of our line fell back to where it was not so open. We held our new position, and exch iged shots with them for quite awhile. A part of the rebs got inlo two small log houses and used them as works, but Battery C, First Illinois, from across the river, soon scattered the logs and rebs. Firing ceased about nine-o'clock, and we spent the rest of the time badgering our foe, till at midnight the bugle blew the assembly. Never did it sound quite so sweet. After waiting some ten minutes every man for himself stole away quietly to the river, where we found the ponton boats. Some of them moved along the bank in charge of one man each, without oars or poles. We got into the boats, stripped off our shoes and coats ,and pulled out into the -streams, using our gun stockB as paddles. It was a perilous ride. I was in the boat farthest upstream, and we landed 150 yards below where the lantern was placed to guard us. Several of the boats came near going over the falls, and had they done so all would have been lost. Our only casualty was Sergeant Tom Adams of Compay A, Bhot through the right arm. The crossing was made at Rocky Mt. P. O. A Rebel Verse. A rebel soldier, after burying a federal who had been killed during one of those sanguinary engagements which terminated in the retreat of the Union army from before Richmond, fixed a shingle over the grave bearing this inscription: "The Yankee hosts, with blood-stained bands, .

A 8tery of the Republican Convention of 1896. SAT so far back In the gallery that my opinion of my delegate friend dwindled with every session. Nevertheless my unimportant seat had its advantages. I could see the vast assembly and watch the throbbing of the Republican pulse if I could not hear its heart-beats. Therefore, perhaps, I studied my neighbors more than I might study them under different circumstances. The great wooden hall had its transient and unsubstantial character stamped on every bare wooden joist and unclinched nail. It Was gaudy with flags and bunting and Cheap portraits. There were tin bannerettes crookedly marshaled on the floor, to indicate the homes of the different states. A few delegates, doubtless new to the business and over-zealous, were already on the floor, but none of the principals were visible. They were perspiring and arguing in those committee rooms, those hotel lobbies and crowded hotel rooms where the real business of the •convention was already done and neatly prepared for presentation to the nation. I had nothing to keep me from studying my neighbors. In front of file sat two people who had occupied the same seats at every session that I was present, a young girl and an old man. The girl wore the omnipresent shirtwaist (of pretty blue and white tints, with snowy cuffs and collar), and her green straw hat was decked with blue corn-flowers, from which I* Inferred that she had an eye on the fashions. Her black hair was thick ' and glossy under the green straw. I thought that she had a graceful neck. It was verf white. Whiter than her face, which kept a touch of sunburn, as if she were often out in the open air. Somehow I concluded that she. was a shop-girl and rode a wheel. If I were wrong it is not likely that I' shall ever know. The old man I fancied, was not so old as he looked; his delicate, haggard profile may have owed its sunken lines and the dim eye to Bickness rather than to years. He wore the heavy broadcloth of the rural politician, and his coat sagged over his narrow chest as if he had left his waistcoat at home. On his coat lapel were four old-fashioned Blaine badges. Encessa^itly he fanned himself. "It can't be they ain't going to nominate him today?*' he asked rather than asserted, his voice breaking on the higher notes, the mere wreck of a voice. "Oh, maybe later," the girl reassured him. "Well, I wanted to attend a Republican convention once more before I died. Your ma would have it I wasn't strong enough; but I knew better; you - and I knew better; didn't we, Jenny?" She made no answer except to pat his thin, ribbed brown hand with her soft, white, slim one; but there was a world of sympathy in the gesture and her silent smile. "I wonder what your ma said when she came down-stairs and found the letter, and us gone," he cackled with the garrulous glee of a child recount-' Ing successful mischief; "made me think of the times when you was little and I stole you away for the circus. Onoe, your pa thought you was lost—'member? And once, you had on your school dress and you'd tore it— she did scold you that time. But we had fun when they used to let me have money, didn't we, Jenny?" "Well, now I earn money, we have good times, too, grandpa," said Jenny, smiling the same tender, comprehend: ing smile. "We do that; I don't know what I would do 'oept for you, lambie, and this is—this is a grand time, Jenny, yon look an^d listen; It's a great thing to see a nation making its principles and its president—and such a president!" He half turned his heal as he spoke, with a mounting enthusiasm, thus bringing his flushing face and •eager eyes—no longer dim—Into the focus of his next neighbor's bright gray eyes. The neighbor was a young man, not very young, but hardly to be called elderly, of an alert bearing and kindly smile. "I think him a pretty fair man myself," said the other with a jocose understatement; "1 come from his town." What was there in such M simple statement to bring a distinctly anxious look into the young girl's (soft eyes? There it was; one could not mistake ~lt. "Well!" said the old man; there was a flattering deference in N his retce. "Well, well. And—and maybe rc*>e seen him lately?"

"I've been a Blaine man ever since he was run the time Bob Ingersoll nominated him," said the old man, who sighed as if relieved. "I was at that convention and heard the speech—" "Ah, that was a speech to hear," said a man behind, and two or three men edged their heads nearer. The ofa Republican straightened his bent shoulders, his winter-stung features softened and warmed at the manifestation of interest, his voice sank to the confidential undertone of Uje narrator. "You're right, sir, right; it was a magnificent speech. I can see him Jest as he stood there, a stoutish, good-looking man, smooth-faced, his eye straight ahead, and an alternate that sat next me—I was an alternate; I've been an alternate four times; I could have been a delegate, but I says, 'No, abler men than me are wanting it; I'm willing to fight in the ranks.' But I wished I had a vote, a free vote that day, I tell you. The alternate near me, he says, 'You'll hear something fine now; I've heard him speak.'" "You did, too, I guess." "We could hear frQm the first minute. That kinder fixed our attention. He had a mellow, rich kind of voice that melted into our ears. We found ourselves listening and liking him from the first sentence. At first he was as quiet as a summer breeze, but presently he began to warm up, and the words flowed out like a stream of jewels. It was electrifying; it was thrilling, sir; it took'us. off our feet before we knew it, and when he came to the climax, those of us that weren't yelling in the aisles were jumping up and down on our chairs! I know I found myself prancing up and down on. my own hat on a chair, swinging somebody else's hat and screaming at the top of my voice, with the tears running down my cheeks. God! sir, there were men there on their feet cheering their throats out that had to vote against Blaine afterward—had to, because they were there instructed— no more free will than a checked trunk!" The light died out of his face. "Yes, sir, a great speech; never so great a speech, whoever made it; but it did no good, he wasn't nominated, and when we did nominate him we were cheated out of our victory. Well, we'll do better this day." "We will that," said the other man, heartily! "McKinley—" "You'll excuse me"—the old man struck in with a deprecating air, yet under the apology something fiercely eager and anxious that glued the hearer's eyes to his quivering old face— "You'll excuse me. I—I am a considerable of an invalid and I don't keep the run of things as I used to. You see, I live with my "daughter, and you know how women, folks are, fretting lest things should make you sick, and my girl she worries so, me reading the papers. Fact is I got a shock once, an awful shock"—he shivered involuntarily and his dim eyes clouded—"and it worried her seeing me read. Hadn't ought to; it don't worry Jenny here, who often gets me a paper, quiet like; but you know how it is with women— it's" easier giving them their head a little—and so I don't see many papers, and I kinder dropped off. It seems queer, but I don't exactly sense it about this McKinley. Is he running against Blaine or jest for vice?" The girl, under some feminine pretext of dropping and reaching for her handkerchief, threw upward a glance of appeal at thfe interlocutor. Hurriedly she stepped into the conversation. "My grandfather read a false report about—about Mr. Blaine's sickness, and be was not well at the time, and It brought on a bad attack." "I understand," said the listener, with a grave nod of his head and movement of his eyes in the girl's direction. "But about McKInley?" the old man persisted. "He's for vice-president," the girl announced, her eyes fixed on the hesitating man from Canton. I have often admired the intrepid fashion in which a woman will put her conscience at a moral hedge, while a man of no finer spiritual fiber will be straining his eyes to find a hole through which he can crawl* "McKinley is not opposed to Blaine, is he?" she asked the man. "The Republican party has no name that is more loved than that of James G. Blaine," said the man, gravely. "That's so, that's so!" the old partisan assented eagerly;, "to my mind he's the logical candidate." The Canton man nodded, and asked If he had ever seen Blaine. "Once, only once. I was on a delegation sent to wait on him and ask him to onr town to speak—he was in Cincinnati. I held out my hand when my turn came, and the chairman nearly knocked the breath out of me by saying, 'Here's the man gate more to ^Jtts? ^5e^e9iJ^e^e^Je5L a^HJae^el e^JUfll ^P^^^WTefe^^^ai eeVJWPe^Je^JP than any man In the county* and we an worked hard for yon, tee.'

But he understood. T have heard of your loyalty to Republican principles, Mr. Painter,' says he, in .that beautiful voice of his that was like a violin; and I burst in—I couldn't help it—'It ain't loyalty to Republican principles, it's to you.' I said that right out. And he smiled,* and said he, 'Well, that's wrong, but it isn't for me to quarrel with you there, Mr. Painter,' and then they pushed me alqng; but twice while the talk was going on I saw him look my way and caught his eye, and he smiled, and when we were all shaking hands for good-by he shook hands with a good firm grip, and said he,, 'Good-by, Mr.. Painter; I hope we shall meet again.' " The old man drew a long sigh. "Those few moments paid for everything," he said. "I've never seen him since. I've been sick and lost money. I ain't the man I was. I never shall be put on any delegation again, or be sent to any convention; but I thought if I could only go once more to a Republican convention and hear them holler for Blaine, and holler once more myself, I'd be willinger to die. And I told Tom Hale that, and he and Jenny raised the money. Yes, Jenny, I'm going to tell—he and Jenny put off being married a bit so's I could go, and go on plenty of money. Jenny, she worked a month longer to have plenty, and Tom, he slipped ten dollars into my hand unbeknown to her, jest as we were going, so I'd always have a dime to give the waiter or the porter. I was never one of these hayseed farmers, too stingy to give a colored boy a dime when he'd done his best. I didn't need no money for badges; I got my old badges—see!" He pushed out the lapel of his coat, covered with old-fashioned frayed bits of tinsel and ribbonf, smiling confident-, his fan, to attract attention; already the pitiful concerns of the old man i&o wao HUle off" (as I had hoard some one on tlA/^at whisper) were sucked out of notice in the whirlpool of the approaching political storm. "Yes, that's Tetter," answered the Canton saan, his mouth straightening and growing thin. "Is it to be a bolt?" The Canton man nodded, at which the other whistled and communicated the information to his neighbors, one of whom remarked, "Let 'em bolt and be damned!" A general, subtle excitement seemed to communicate its vibrations to all the gallery. Perhaps I should except the old partisan; he questioned the girl in a whisper, and then, seeming to be satisfied, watched the strange scene that ensued with an expression of patient weariness. The girl explained parts of the platform to him and he assented; it was good Republican doctrine, he said, but what did they mean with 'all this talk against the money; were they having trouble with the mining stat*? &gdia'f The Canton man stopped to explain— he certainly was good-humored. During the next twenty minutes, filled as they were with savage emotion, while the galleries, like the floor, were on their chairs yelling, cheering, brandishing flags and fists and fans and pampas plumes of red, white and blue at the little band of silver men who marched through the ranks of their former comrades; he stood, he waved his fan in his feeble old hand, but he did not shout. "You must excuse me," said he, "I'm all right on the money question, but I'm saving my voice to shout for him!" "That's right," said the Canton man; but he cast a backward glance which said as plainly as a glance'can speak, "I wish I were out of this!" Meanwhile, with an absent but happy smile, the old Blaine man was beating time to the vast waves of sound that rose and swelled above the band, above the cheering, above the cries of anger and scorn, the tremendous chorus that had stiffened man's hearts as they marched to dream of loyal, unselfish satisfaction dispelled. "Ah, my countrymen," I thought, "you do a hundred crazy things, you crtt&it "les convenances" under foot, you can be fooled by frantic visionaries, but how I love you!" It was Baldwin of Iowa that made the first speech. He was one of the very few men—I had almost said of the two men—that we in the galleries had the pleasure of hearing; and we could hear every word. # He began with a glowing tribute to Blaine. At the first sentence our old man flung his gray head in the^air with the gesture of the war horse when he catches the first, far-off scream of the trumpet. He leaned forward, his features twitching, his eyes burning; the fan dropped out of his limp hand; his fingers, rapping his palm, clenched and Sloosened themselves unconsciously in an overpowering agitation. His face was white as marble, with orfonous blue shadows; Vj* *»v«'ry muscle was astrain; his chest expanded; his shoulders drew back; his mouth was as strong and firm as a young man. For a second we could see what he had been at his prime. ^ Then the orator's climax came, and the name—the magic name that was its own campaign cry in Itself." The old partisan leaped to his feet; he waved his hands above his head; wild, strange, in his white flame of excitement. He shouted; and we all shouted with him, the McKinley man and the Reed man vieing with each other (I here offer my testimony as to the scope and quality of that young Reed man's voice), and the air rang about us: "Blaine! Blaine! James G. Blaine!" He shrieked the name again and again, goading into life the waning applause. Then in an instant his will snapped under the strain; his gray beard tilted in the air; his gray head went back on his neck. The Canton man and I caught him in time to ease the fall. We were helped to pull him into the aisle. There were four of us by this time, his granddaughter and the Reed "root- HE SHRIEKED T h E I W I E ACAIM AMD AC AIM, GOADING IhTO L l f E THE W A n i n C APPLAUSE. ly. The girl had flushed crimson to the rim of her white collar; but there was not a trace of petulance in her air; and, all at once looking at him, her eyes filled with tears. "Tom's an awful good fellow," he said, "an awful good fellow." "I'm sure of that," said the Canton man, with the frank American friendliness, making a little bow in Miss Jenny's direction; "but see here, Mr. Painter, do you come from Izard? Are you the man that saved the county for the Republicans by mortgaging his farm and then going on a house-tohouse canvass?" "That's me," the old man acquiesced, blushing with pleasure; "I didn't think, though, that it was known outside—" "Things go farther than you guess. I'm a newspaper man, and I can tell you that I shall speak of it again in my paper. Well, I guess they've got through with their mail, and the platform's coming in." Thus he brushed aside the old man's agitated thanks. "One moment," said the old man, "who—who's going to nominate him?" For the space of an eyebMnk the kindly Canton man looked embarrassed, then he said, briskly: "Foraker, Foraker, of Ohio—he's the principal one. That's he now, chairman of there, the ten man wtth Urn P9 " l i t thai i l l i r V mea, with the death and rung through streets filled with armies and thrilled the waiting hearts at home: • Three cheers for the red, white and blue! Three cheers for the red, white and blue! The army and navy for ever, three cheers for the red, white and blue! But when the chairman had stilled the tumult and made his grim comment, "There appear to be enough delegates left to transact business," the old partisan cast his eyes down to the floor with a chuckle. "I can't see the hole they made, it's so small. Say, ain't he a magnificent chairman; you can hear every word he says!" "Bully chairman," said a cheerful "rooter" in the rear, who had enjoyed the episode more than words can say, and had cheered the passing of silver with such choice quotations from popular songs as "Good-by, My Lover, Good-by," and "Just Mention That You Saw Me," and plainly felt that he, too, had adorned the moment. "I nearly missed coming this morning, and I wouldn't have missed it for a tenner; they're going to nominate now." The old man caught his, breath; then he smiled. ' I l l help you shout pretty soon," said he, while be sat down very carefully. The "rooter," a good-looking young fettow with a Reed button and three or four gaudy badges decking his crash coat, nodded and tapped hla temple furtively, still retaining his expression of radiant good-natore. The Canton ,. I e^PsMfc ^eefcPrfj ^¾¾¾ ¢1¾¾¾^¾!¾ e^fceJBe^ ^a^^H^l JR^I^fc er," besides the Canton man and myself. We carried him into the wide passageway that led to the seats. The Reed young man ran for water, and, finding none, quickly returned with a glass of lemonade (he was a young fellow ready in shifts), and with it we bathed the old man's face. Presently he came back, by degrees, to the world; he was not conscious, but we could see that he was not going to die. "He'll be all right in no time," declared the Reed man. "You had bet* ter go back and get your seats, and keep mine!" I assured both men that I could not return for more than a short time, having an engagement for luncheon. "That's ail right," said the Reed man, turning to the Canton man,* ,"I ain't shouting when Foraker comes; you are. You go back and keep my seat; I'll come in later on Hobart" So the kindly Canton man returned to the convention for which he was longing, and we remained In our little corner by the window, the young girl fanning the old man, and the young man on the watch for a boy with water. He darted after one; and then the girl turned to me. • \ No one disturbed us.

Foraker!" bellowed crowd. "He's nominated him!"muttered the old man; but this time he did notsaV tempt to rise. With a smile of great content he leaned against his granddaughter's strong young frame and listened, while the cheers swelled into a deafening din, an immeasurable tumult of sound, out of which a few strong voices shaped the chorus 0^ tfhe Battle Cry of Freedom, to be caught up by 15,000 throats and pealed through the walls far down the city streets to the vast crowd without. The young Reed "boomer," carried away by the moment, flung his, frei hand above his head and yelled de flantly: "Three cheers for the man from Maine!" Instantly he caught at his wits, his color turned, and he lift* ed an abashed face to the young girl "But, really, you know, that aln'l giving nothing away," he apologized plucking up heart.

USE FOR THE HANDBAG FRAME Cmn Be Made of Much Service When It Hat Passed First Period of Good Work. r-*ong ago women learned to save the handsome frame of the handbag whose fabric portion was too old and too shabby to be tolerated in respectable society. And now comes the fancy workbag which needs a secure clasp, lest its lace and silk floss treasure? get soiled or torn. Any metal frame of good quality may be punctured, with an edging row of tiny holes (by a repair jeweler) and by means of thefte punctures may be attached to a balloon-shaped bag of heavy silk, art can /as or some kindred firm material, lined daintily with satin or lingerie. Th&t this bag may be considerably distended, the fabric selected Is cut into a half yard square, doubled once, the sides securely joined and the tops gathered separately into a single box plait at the center. Converging from that plait are four deep side folds, the outer ones being filled—as well as plaited—Into the boles at the extreme ends of the frame. Instead of double hangers, these embroidery bags are suspended by a single broad and long strap of the silk or canvas, fastened to the center plaits below the edge of the frame and concealing its clasp. Thin one strap at the center of the bag is more easily slipped over the wrist than are two narrow handles and it better sustains the weight of the receptacle's contents. On a smaller scale and in brocade or tinsel lace veiled-satin, these bags are suitable for opera glases or for bridge purses.

SHIRTWAIST OF WASH SILK Always In Order, but Design Must Be Left to Discretion of the Wearer. The soft wash-silk shirtwaist is made tmore or less plain, according to the figure that its wearer possesses. For those who are plump the plainest models are chosen. But shoulders are long and so are sleeves. The neck of these waists is finished with long sleeves and wide sailor collars as soft and rather high at the back. Cuffs are turned back, and link buttons are worn with some of them. By way of a little frivolity, jabots of net or lace provide a finishing touch which seems superfluous with the fourin- hand tie, but is nevertheless in evidence. When made up for a slender figure these waists are set to a yoke in the back and fulled into the shoulder in front. The collars are widened. Soft waists of crepe cloth are made plain with long sleeves and wide collars as well as in the regulation designs just decribed. Turnback cuffs often finished with crystal buttons. These waists are opened at the throat. —Woman's World. DAINTY TEA GOWN I<et us suppose that there Is a line fence to be built between your lot and your neighbor's, or along tne front yard, or that a fence already exists that is anything but attractive. What can be done to make the boundary line pleasant to look at? Several things. If you don't care to plant shrubs and hardy perennials there, why not make a substitute for a hedge by the use of a vine like our native Ampelopsis, known to you, perhaps, as American ivy. or Virginia creeper? This can be done with very little trouble' or expense by setting stout posts solidly In the ground and stretching woven wire netting along them, and training this vine over i t It Is of very rapid growth, and the plants, if set about twenty feet apart, ought to develop enough in one season to furnish quite a covering for the netting. As this plant grows In aK most all localities at the north, you need not send to the plant dealer's for it. The children will be delighted to provide all the plants you want from the woodiot or the river bank, where they will find it growing profusely. When the plants have made growth enough to meet on the support furnished them, nip off their ends. This will cause them to send out side branches. Train these out and in through the meshes of the netting, as they develop. By the end of the second season the netting ought to be so thickly covered that nothing of the support will be seen, and the general effect will be quite hedgelike, and altogether ornamental. Especially will this be the case in fall, when the foliage of the vine takes on its rich coloring of scarlet and crimson. When toward the street or road make use of shrubs comparatively low and spreading habit, like the Spireas. the Deutzia*. and the Weigelias. In between them plant such tall perennials as the Hollyhocks, the Delphiniums and Rudbeckia. In front of them Pyrethrum, Peony, Phlox, Dicentra and Iris, with other low-growing plants of similar habit If you take pains to read up in the catalogues before ordering your plants, you can make yourself so familiar with their size, height, general habit and season of flowering, that you need Jocate none of them in the wrong place The strip of ground in which they are to be planted should be at least eight feet wide—ten would be better—and tt should be kept free from grassland weeds. Here is the place for your shrubs if your yard is a small one. Never spoil the effect ot your lawn by scattering them over i t Hardy bulbs can be planted along the edge of the border, where they will most effectively display their beauty early In the season before the other plants are ready for business. The woman who loves flowers, and the boys and girls who should be educated into liking them, will find it nothing but pleasure to taj&e care of such a collection. There will be no weed-pulling by hand to be done—the hoe will make that unnecessary. Some of the shrubs may need pruning occasionally, when they get to be too thick, but as a general thing the less pruning you give a shrub the more effective it w|Il be. Before setting out any plants, spade the soil well to the depth of a tot and a half. A liberal amount of good manure should be used.

Thfe picture shows the possibilities of vines/as hedges, as the vines here are woven in and out of a wire fence. Kept trimmed to a.height of about four feet, vines as hedges are beautiful and useful. The vine over the house should be trimmed one-half. It shuts out sunlight and makes for dampness. it sheds its leaves it will take on another ornamental phase, for then its purple fruit will be , seen clustered thickly along the branches. The vine muBt be clipped occasionally, during the summer, to prevent it from spreading in all directions and giving a ragged look to your fence. It is quite important that stout posts should be used, as the netting must be stretched tightly, to prevent it from sagging. The end posts should be well braced to stand the strain made on them. I would advise the use of netting at least four feet wide, and that it be of heavy wire, for you want something that will last for years, as it will be impossible to make satisfactory repairs in a fence of this kind. If your neighbor co-operates with you, as he doubtless will if you ask him to, I would advise the use of wide sawed posts with a row of netting on each side. A width of this dimension will give more dignity and substance to your hedge than one row of netting possibly can. If sawed posts are used, they should be well painted before the netting is put on, for two reasons—improved appearance, and preservation of the wood. Painted a dark, dulj green they will not be too much in evidence during the period when your vines are getting a start. Such a fence can be made really more ornamental than the ordinary hedge, and this in' a short time, and very little attention will be required to keep It in good condition. A better method, however, of marking the boundary line, allowing me to be the judge, Is that of planting shrubs and hardy perennials there. Set them so close together that when they have fully developed they,.. In combination, will make a solid bank of foliage. Do hot use kinds that grow to such a size that they will obstruct the view across the lot or yard, except there Is a;place at the rear where such an obstruction would be desirable. Here tbe lilacs, the Tartarian honeysuckles, and the Viburnums, will work in effectively. As you go ting shrubs, always plan for the future. Make yourself certain about the size the little specimens you plant will grow to, and set them far enough apart to allow of full development without crowding. If hardy perennials are used to fill in between theft while they are developing, there will be no unsightly gaps at any time. Such a plantation along the side of a lot can bo made a thousand fold more ornamental than the most expensive fence, and one of the strongest arguments in its favor is the pleasure that can be got out of the making of it. There is nothing quite so enjoyable to the person who likes to he among the "green things growing" as work in the garden. There is a new surprise in store for every day. And the exercise is of that kind that keeps both mind and muscle in play in a manner that makes one forget to get tired. The happy combination of mental and physical exercise makes work in the garden ideal recreation for woman and child. "The only objection to be urged against it/' writes a correspondent, "is that after a little one wants to be out of doors all the time." Which is the best possible argument in its favor! (Copyright. 1913. by C. M. Schuttz.) Egg Making. One of the conditions necessary that the fowls may lay large numbe/s of eggs in the fall and winter is that a plentiful supply of succulent food be provided and this is also necessary for the best growth of young chicks. Among the most common and best forms of green food are: Mangels, turnips, cabbage, pumpkins, onion*, lettuce, rape, silage, clover hay and alfalfa meal. \ 6132 This is one of the newest style shirt waists, and may be used for wear with separate skirts or as part of a complete costume.

THE INCOME TAX WILL CAUSE SOME HARD FIGHTING. Why the Policy Toward China Was Changed by the New Administration la Cleared Up. The struggle within the ways and means committee for control between the conservatives and the radicals continues to be the subject of greatest interest to the politicians in Washington for on the outcome will depend the general character of the forthcoming tariff bills. President Wilson has been appealed to, and during the next week it is expected that he will confer with all interests, to arrive at some position where the factions may meet harmoniously, if such a thing is now possible. The situation as a whole so strikingly resembles that of four years ago, preceding the special session of congress called by President Taft. also for tariff revision, as to give it unusual significance. What the outcome will be nobody pretends to know, but everybody is watching developments from day to day, and doing his best to get at all the facts. HOUSEHOLD LORE OF VALUE That Income Tax. A fight on income tax legislation, which may equal the coming battle on the tariff, is fomenting in Washington, and will break with the ^convening of the srxty-third congress, according to those conversant with the situation. Behind the fight are believed to be some of the most wealthy men in the United States—nien whose fortunes run into the hundreds of millions and whose share of-4he- Inerime tax must necessarily be heavy. . As the matter now sta^i ;ttte^$et»^ ocrat party has gone bii^recorcf as favoring .the enactinent vof this, legislation, but^there is' yet ;to be drafted a bill defining1 the nature and amount of the tax to be levied upon fortunes. Some Good Old Rules That Have Been Handed Down Through Many Generations. A capital method of cleaning copper pans and kettles is to fill them first of all with boiling water and then to rub the outside with sour milk. The milk must have reached the condition of thick curds, a little being rubbed on with a piece of flannel. Buttermilk Is even more satisfactory. When dry, the metal should be polished with a clean chamois leather. Garlic juice used to be considered the best cement for fine china in bygone days. To extract the juice from the garlics, they were crushed in a mortar and then pressed In a piece ot muslin, the juice being then collected and painted on to the broken edges with a brush or a feather. The finest whiting, crumbled to a powder and then made into a paste with a drop or two of sweet oil, represents an excellent -polish for metal dish and pan covers. This should be rubbed on with a piece of flannel, and a little of the powdered whiting enclosed in a muslin bag afterwards spdinkled over the top. A gloss may be obtained by finally scouring briskly with a chamois leather. A little soap rubbed on the hinges of a door will prevent it from creaking. An bid-fashioned method of cleaning an oven is that of placing a handful of straw inside it and setting fire to it The oven door must be kept closed until the straw has burned itself out The smoke was considered to soften the crust of grease and fruit which it is often impossible to prevent aftei meat or fruit tarts have been cooked in the oven. A knife may be required to scrape the stains, and the whole must be well scoured finally with a cloth wrung out in boiling soda suds. SUGGESTIONS FOR HOUSEWIFE * Knox's Policy Changed. The purposes which actuated the Wilson administration, in repudiating Secretary Knox's policy, with - regard to the proposed six power loan td China. ha\:e been clarified in the last few days. Briefly stated the administration's attitude with regard to tbe proposed loan ia this: Once the bargain-with the five "other powers had been entered into the bargain would have to be kept. Posbibly eventualities might have put this country into the position of being a party in a scramble for Chinese territory,- in the event of failure on the part of China to fulfill the conditions of. the loan. The ^administration desires to remain able, if such a scramble comes,, to deter these ambitious powers, acting as the friend of the new republic. Germany and the United States each without territorial ambitions in China, long have been thQ restraining influence in the Chinese situation, acn cording to administration, officials. Russia and Japan, once this influence were removed, rnight feel free to satisfy ambitions for expansion which they are now said to entertain.. President Wilson and his advisers concluded that the maintenance of this restraining influence on the other powers is far more important from the standpoint of friendliness to China than would have been the financial benefits which would have accrued to American commerce and banking from participation in the loan. A tiny piece of garlic laid on the lettuce half an hour before serving will gfse a slight savory flavor. Knives not in daily use should be well polished and buried in a box of sawdust until required for use. : To ^render boots and shoes wajtert> roof'X&^ damp weather rub a little button suet around the edges of the Soles, Beeswax is. just as efficacious. Always empty out any water left before filling the kettle. Very frequently the: hat taste of tea is caufceii by using water that has already been boiied. ,-vil .. If*'a'strong brine of salt and water is thrown over the coals less soot will collect in the flues and chimneys. The fire, too, will burn clear and bright. When baking potatoes grease them first with a little butter, and\ when cooked they will be beautifully brown and crisp, with the glazed appearance that makes them so appetizing. Mayonnaise dressing will separate when too much salt has been added to the egg yolks, or when the oil has been dropped too fast, or if the ingredients are not thoroughly chilled when used. Funeral of King George. The funeral of the late King George, It is officially announced, will take place March 30. A funeral service for the late King George of Greece was held Saturday at the, Greek-church in London. It was attended by representatives of King George of England} Queen Mother Alexandra, and most of the members of the diplomatic corps. The Balkan War. The developments of the last week appear to make the conclusion of the Balkan war a matter of only a few days. Turkey, having no hopes of obtaining more money, has entrusted her Interests to the good offices of the powers, and the allies have accepted the powers' offer of mediation. Announcement has been made that the Pere Marquette system will lay 177 miles of new rails this spring and summer. New stations will, be built at Port Huron and Valley Center, and an addition at Alma. Mrs. Louis Christiancy, of Lansing, was probably fatally burned, when she mistook a can of gasoline for kerosene, and'poured the contents onto a fire. Her clothes were nearly burned, from her body, befbre the fire was extinguished. She was taken, to a hospital, where it is believed she will die. To Clean Plaster Ornaments. Plaster of Paris pieces are pretty just as long as they retain their spotless white color. If they become dusty they may be cleaned by scrubbing them with a soft brush dipped in gasoline. The first washing will leave the gasoline very dirty, so you must carefully wipe the figures and then repeat the process. When thoroughly dirty, and even this method of cleaning fails, the images may be made to look very attractive by painting with white alabastine, or given a glossy finish with white enamel. They may also be renovated by making a weak solution of isinglass water in which clean whiting is dissolved. Paint with this solution and set aside to dry. They are also very decorative when bronzed. Rice in French Style. Wash well a quarter pound of rice and blanch in boiling water for ten minutes and boil it in a saucepan with an ounce of butter, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, a pint of milk, two bitter almond macaroons, a half ounce of orange peel cut into shreds, a half teaspoonful of orange flour water, 15 or 20 candied cherries cut in halves, tbe same v number of large muscatel raisins, stoned, and a quarter ounce of candied angelica thinly sliced. When the rice is done pdur the mixture into a mold. When cold turn out on a platter. Serve it with a sauce flavored with a gill of sherry or rum. Rubber Caps. Caps of rubber In plaids and checks, as well as in solid colors of unusually pretty shades, are finished with a box plaiting of the rubber for a frill. They are quite practical for those who like a shower bath and are also used by the woman motorist for pulling over her hat to shield it from dust or raln.-~ Newark News. Pressed Beef. Boil a nice beef shank in plenty of water until the meat will fall from the bones and the water is reduced to one pint Remove bones and gristle and chop the meat very fine. Salt and pepper to taste, add the liquor, stir thoroughly, put in a mold and set away to cool. Serve cut in slices. Removing Rust. ' Rust can be removed from steel by covering' it with sweet oil for a day, then rub it with a lump of fresh lime and polish in the ordinary way. Pdifk tor Mixing.

Latest investigations tend to confirm the estimates of fewer than 500 deaths in the floods that swept over i score of cities in Ohio and Iadiana last week. As the waters receded from Dayton, 'olumbus and other places, leaving a thick coating of mud, alarm was causju by a rap.d rise of the" Ohio and the Mississippi rivers, inundating parts of cities along their banks. There is not much danger of loss of life in these places, however, as the inhabitants have hills to flee to and ..:e used to floods. Revised reports indicate that the number drowned in Dayton may not exceed 150. The death list at Piqua, Ohio, fell from the estimate of 50 to 13 known dead. Sanitary experts from the United States public health service are ordered to Dayton by Secretary of War Garrison to protect city from pestilence. The Water has receded in Dayton and rescuers in some sections use canoes and flat bottomed boats, while in other sections relief squads wade. People throughout country are urged by Daytot v f committee not to send messages luiry, as they cannot be delivered because the wire capacity is taxed to the utmost by official and public business. Brookville, Indiana, \s - practically under martial law and 20 men have been driven out of the city after loot ing damaged homes £hd buildings. T c hundred and fifty children rescued from the flood hare only night clothe? and wagon trains carried food and clothing from Connersville to the stricken people. The work of rehabitation began at Dayton and other flooded cities as the w^rk of rescue approached its end. The all important weather 3howed improvement as viewed by -efugees, for it was warmer,and pleasant to frost and water-chilled bones. Sanitary experts accepted the rise in temperature with mixed feelings, for the cold had retarded decomposition it an'mal matter and refuse. Members of the citizens' relief eomittee at Dayton, are apprehensive if a water famine. It is believed there little chance that the present sup- 1v can bQ mad 1 to last until the wa- ?re in me again. R. H. Jrart, herd of the relief supplies com- Vttee, issi'ed an appeal to all cities ?n the country, asking that as m u h " otfled water as posisble be shipped o Dayton immediately. It is especlalfy desired that th's water be strictly pure, as it is practically Impossible to ,: •* V». '— boil the water for drinking pur poses. Medical supplies were reported woefully short. Drug stocks were largely destroyed, and the chests of the militia, as weil as supplies sent by other cities, have in many instances been delayed by washouts and other mishaps of the flood. Access to Dayton is now comparatively easy and relief trains are arriving nearly every hour with food, clothing, medical supplies, physicians, and Red Cross nurses. No city even in war times was ever under stricter martial law. The provost guard sounds the curfew at 8 o'clock. With it all passes are revoked automatically and none permitted on the street. The sleep of the exhausted stricken was interrupted continually by the boom of guns. Despite the drastic military measures many attempted to pass the lines and looters were busy. The militia had orders to shoot to kill aftqr one warning and the continual crash of the muskets was evidence that the warnings would not stop the marauders. With nearly 15,000 persons in the towns along the Kentucky side of the Ohio river driven from their homes by the rising yellow tide sweeping down the Ohio valley, and with more than 3,500 homes altogether or partly submerged, the flood situation in that icinity is assuming graver proporions at Cincinnati, the water front buildings are all partly under water nd much damage has been done. One life has been lost as a direct result of the high water here. Miss Inna Smith, the first victim drowned, lost her life in an attempt to reach Newport in a skiff that capsied in midstream. Her three men companions were rescued. Newport and Covington, virtually are suddounded by water. Conditions there are worse than elsewhere and nearly 10,000 persons have been driven from their homes. Relief measures, however, are adequate. In these two cities the onlv fear is that health conditions would be ser'ously affected because of the clogging of the sewage system and the stagnation of backwater. As yet the water works have continued in operation, The electric light plants already have had to ceane, but gas plarts are not interrupted. In the Kentucky towns of Dayton, Ludlow, Bellevue and Bromley, identical conditions exist, but in their cases all communication w?th Cincinnati, Newport and Covington has been suspended* Lansing.—A Michigan United railway interurban car was wrecked at Holt, ten miles south of here. Six persons were injured, one fatally. It was a rear-end collision, between the local passenger and a freight car on the Lansing-Jackson division at Guns Crossing. The freight had stopped to take on a consignment of milk for a Lansing factory and was occupying the rightof-way when the Lansing local came around the curve. Motorman George Mahrle of the local applied the air and made several attempts to stop the car, but the rails were covered with a fine coating of Ice and the brakes refused to work. Mt. Clemens.—As the result of Injury and exposure a month ago, when he broke his leg while returning from a fishing trip on Lake St. Clair, David Peltier, fifty-nine years old, died at the home of his son, Fred, here. At the time he was injured he lay in his house for hours in the cold before assistance reached him. Grand Rapids.—Asa Rickard, seventeen, of Traverse City, indicted by the federal grand jury on the charge of stealing a post office money order, has been freed because of probable fatal illness. He was attacked by heart failure. The court allowed him to return home to return when wanted, if he survives. Carlotte.—Warren McClintic, for years a well known resident of this county and the past three years a resident of this city, dropped dead while transacting business in a local bank. His widow and two daughters survive. Port Huron.—Pauline Schroeder of Lynn township has been ordered committed to the asylum at' Pontiac. The woman had started no less than three fires on the floor of her home. Saginaw. — The Eighth District Dental society was organized in Saginaw and Dr. W. L. Crego elected president. Dr. G. Burke, Detroit, gave an address. The dental law before the state legislature was indorsed. Houghton.—Hundreds of persons are leaving the dozen towns of the MichigLn copper country, Houghton and Keweenaw counties, weekly, the greater number going to Detroit, where they seek employment in the automobile factories, and to the Sudbury and Cobalt mining districts of Ontario and the mining and farming districts of northern Minnesota. Repeated rumors of coming strikes among the mine employes of the district have caused many to leave this county, although many going to Minnesota and the west are planning to take up firming lands. Bay City.—Judge Collins sentenced five men to Marquette prison, that being the only reformatory available. David Hill, forty-one years old, drew a one to two years' sentence, with a maximum of five, for robbing a freight car. Joseph Powalskl, eighteen, who broke into a store and stole shoes, was given six months to a year. Edgar Minnie got the same dose for highway robbery, as did Otto Huebner, eighteen, and Norbet Donley, twenty-six, for a similar offense. Allegan.—The suffragettes arevery busy in their campaign, having just organized a Civic Suffrage league with the following officers: President, Mrs. Perry Sirrine; vicepresident, Mrs. H. D. Moore; secretary, Mrs. F. I. Chichester; treasurer, Mrs. H. W. Mcintosh. « Saginaw.—An unidentified man Jumped into the river at the foot of James street. The cook on the R. B. Hayes saw the man commit suicide. The body has not been discovered. Bay City.—Frank Geffert, fortyfive, took strychnine with suicidal intent, and is in a critical condition at the West Side hospital. Geffert's home burned and in a note in which he had written before taking the poison he said he had been wrongfully accused of setting the house afire. Petoskey.—The bodies of Irvin Johnson, fourteen, and Alton Westbrook, twelve, St. Ignace boys who were lost in a storm last week, were found on the ice of Mackinac straits by the car ferry crew. Instead of falling into the channel and drowning, as was at first thought, they had frozen to death. Grand Rapids.—Otto Liebeler, recently released from a five months' terms in the Shiawassee' county jail for the theft of an automobile, was sentenced to 46 days in tbe Kent county jail for violating his probation after conviction on a petty larceny charge, O H !

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

The pieces C are 2 by 6's bolted to the lifting braces. At their forward ends two short pieces of 2 by 4's (E) are bolted that strike against the rack as it is being driven between the frames, thus bringing up the lifting frames and raising the rack off the wagon. Two crosspieces of 2 by 4s (D) are bolted lengthwise to the posts to give the frames rigidity. Two blocks (F) are bolted at the forward ends of D to stop the forward movement of the lifting frame. TheBe are placed a little past the center so as to lock the frame while up. Two pawls notched at one end are bolted underneath the rack frame with the notched ends against the rear bolster of the wagon This prevents the rack slipping back as it rises from the wagon. S T A P L E FOOD FOR CHICKENS Hens Cannot Give Best Results When Fed Grain Alone—Fowls Demand Variety of Feed. Grain is the staple food for poultry, and will be used for. that purpose as long as fowls are kept on farms, but hens cannot give good results on grain alone. It is beneficial to them and will be at all times relished, but the demands of the hens are such as to call for a variety. In the shells of eggs as well as their composition are several forms of mineral matter and nitrogen, which can only be partially obtained from grain. Even grains vary in composition, and when fowls are fed on one kind for a long time they will begin to refuse it, as they may be oversupplied with the elements of the food partaken and lack the elements that are best supplied from some other source. Fpr this reason they will accept a change of food, which is of itself an evidence that the best results from hens can only be obtained by a variety of food- Corn and wheat may be used as food with advantage, but must be given as a portion of the ration and not made exclusive articles of diet. * Fighting Ringworm. Ringworm is a contagious disease due to a fungas. Man, horses and cattle are commonly affected, and it is easily transmitted from one animal to another. The affection first asserts Itself as a ringlike patch, with the hair broken off. The usual location is on the skin around the eyebrows, or muzzle, scattering from there over different parts of the body. Treatment is sometimes easy, more often difficult to completely eradicate. All brushes and utensils in contact with infected animals should be sterilized. Wash the patch with soap and water, and apply tincture of iodine or lard and salicylic acid, six part to one of salicylic acid. Good Combs and Brushes. Are your curry combs^and brushes in good condition? You just can't afford to use poor ones. New ones cost but little. Swine for Breeding. When the pure-bred swine are kept for breeding purposes they should be given every opportunity for bone and muscle development r|ther than production of fat HOW TO PREVENT OAT SMUT Grain Should Be Treated With Forntialin Solution in Morning and Drilled in Same Day. To prevent oat smut, the grain should be treated with formalin It takes about one ounce of formalin for every five bushels of grain to be treated. Clean a space on the barn floor and thoroughly sprinkle it with the formalin solution before spreading the seed grain. The oats should be run through the fanning mill twice to remove all light grain, as only heavy clean seed should be sown. Spread down the seed grain, then sprinkle the grain with the formalin solution made as follows: Formalin, one ounce; water, two and one-half gallons; mix thoroughly. The solution can be applied with a fine rose watering pot; shovel the grain over so that every seed is coated with the solution. When all the grain is coataed, shovel the grain into a round pile and cover with sacks for not more than two or three hours, then spread out, and as soon as the oats will not stick together it is fit to sow or drill. The grain should be treated in the morning and drilled in the same day. The drill should be set to drill two and one-fourth to two and one-half bushels to the acre, as the oats, having absorbed considerable water are larger than dry oats. Have the ground thoroughly mellowed; drill the oats in with 250 pounds to the acre of some good bone fertilizer. Even if the ground is in good order, it will pay to use the fertilizer. The fertilizer will ripen the grain early, the straw will stand up stiff and cannot be blown down by summer storms and the yield will be increased fully 10 to 12 bushels per acre. FOR CUTTING PRICKLY PEAR Implement Invented by Texas Man for Quickly Clearing Land for the Purpose of Cultivation. In describing an implement intended for catting and handling prickly pear, invented by R. H. Brown of San Antonia, Tex., the Scientific American says: This invention pertains to implements for clearing the ground for purposes of cultivation, the object being to provide an implement which may be easily and quickly handled for the Prickly Pear Implement purpose of cutting and handling prickly pear. Broadly, the improvement consists in the provision of an implement which embodies a handle and a transversely elongated head at one end of the handle, having an outer cutting edge and an engaging prong or tine extending from one side thereof. Most Serious Problem. Infectious abortion among cattle has become one of the most serious problems for cattle owners so far as Infectious diseases are concerned. It is well entitled to rank in importance with tuberculosis, hog cholera, and Texas fever. Two new medical treatments have recently appeared, either one of which may possibly prove to be of very great importance. One, abortin, is used like tuberculin, as a diagnostic; and the other Is a vaccine, which it is hoped will immunize heifers against the infection There is not sufficient reliable information available as yet, upon which to justify any definite statement. Breeders should keep these things in mind and watch for future developments. Value of Education. The question is often asked, "Of how much value is school training to farmers from a business standpoint?" A recent agricultural eurvey of several townships of Tompkins county, New York, made by the College of Agriculture of Cornell University has revealed many Interesting and suggestive facts bearing upon rural sociology. To quote from the Nummary: "The survey shows that a high school education is worth as much to a farmer as $6,000 worth of 5 per cent, bonds. A college education Is worth nearly twice as much." Good Milk Records. It is worthy of notice that within 12 months the Ayrshire Breeders' Association had three cows qualify for advanced registry with records of over 20,000 pounds of milk each, and this, too, under widely different conditions, two from the favorable locality of the state of Washington and one from the hills of Vermont Cost of Production.

"I dweamed my valet went away without lacing my shoes." No Little Girl for Him. The six-yearrold son of a well-known Indianapolis family attends a dancing school. He is a chubby little fellow who has not begun to stretch out yet, and he keenly feels his "shortage." He demands that he be recognized as a little "grownup." Several days ago the teacher planned to instruct her pupils in dancing "the Butterfly." A five-year-old girl who is small for her age, and just a trifle stouter than our hero, but an adept at dancing, was assigned as his partner. He gazed at her in silence. Then he took hold of her hand and, with his mouth set firmly, walked straight over the the teacher. "Don't you think you'd better give me a bigger girl ?'f he asked.—Indianapolis News.

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

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

Nor is it strange that we reach a point where as Mr. Hoffman says, we begin to have grave doubts as to whether, our vaunted civilization Is all that it is cracked up to be. Counting only the 30 principal cities, the average ratio per 100,000 of population hail increased from 5 since the decade ending with 1891 to 7.2 for the 10 years ending with 1911. The maximum so far was reached in 1907, when the ratio rose to 7.8. Such a showing, indeed, moved our former ambassador to Germany, Andrew D. White, to declare some years ago in a speech to the students of Cornell University, of which he used to be president: "My own studies on the subject, which have now lasted through years and have been made in all parts of the Union, convince roe that we lead the civilized world, with the exception, perhaps, of Lower Italy and Sicily, in murders, and especially in unpunished murders. "In proof of this you have only to consult statistics for the last 15 years, which show that the number of murders has risen in proportion far beyond that of the increase of population and from about 3,000 a year to close upon 10,000. Also that of recent years only about one homicide in 74 has been capitally punished." While there were more than 1,650 murders in American cities In 1911 there were in all the Nation less than a hundred executions. . When it comes to a section study of murder, the south, with its large colored population, leads. While in actual numbers Chicago is at the head of the "murder cities," its ratio is far eclipsed by some of the smaller towns below it. Lowest of all ratios are shown by the eastern cities, 10 of which during 1911 had 442 homicides or 5.2 per 100,% 000 of population. Muj§h worse were the central municipalities, six of which showed 391 slaylngs or 9 per 100,000. Just a shade better were the three biggest western towns, with 67 killings or a ratio of 8.5. Away the highest was the southern group, nine of which produced 400 casualties/ reaching the terrible rate of 20 per 100,000 or one for every 5,000 of their population. HE HAD THE NERVE And That Is Why the Young Medico Built Up Practice Among Strangers. BY MAUDE J. PERKINS. Old Doctor Bliss had sold his practice and good-will to a young M. D., and the village of Roselands resented It The people for five miles around had come to believe that the old doctor was infallible. Where one of his patients had died he had saved a score. He was a fatherly, sympathetic man, making his calls no matter what tbe weather or the distance, and even if ne had got to be sixty-five years old he had no right to turn the people over to a young man fresh from college and not yet having a case to diagnose. "Oh, he'll do—hell do," was the doctor's reply to the grumblers. "I had to start that way, you know. I shall be here to help him out if he needs it. IVe tried him out and found him very bright" Mr. Royal Preston fully realized what he had to meet, and that it would take time .to remove the prejudice. He must do the best he could and hope to be lucky with his first few patients. "If you get a call from the Gilberts, the rest of the people will follow/* said Doctor Bliss. "The Gilberts are rich and sort o' run things in this community. Have you seen Nina Gilbert yet?" "Not to know her." "Charming, handsome girl and an heiress. I must get her to champion your cause. Don't fall in love with her, for she is not for you. She can have her choice of several rich men's sons." That evening Doctor Preston attended a lecture in the town hall. In front of him Bat two young ladies, and as the lecture didn't Interest them much, they presently began talking to each other, leading off with! "Mollie, have you heard about the new doctor?" "Yes. Nina." Doctor Preston pricked up his ears. It was possible, but not probable, that here was the Nina Gilbert the old doctor referred to. Yes, good-looking so far as he could judge, with a haughty poise of the head. "Isn't it a shame?" she queried of Mollie. "What?" "Why, Doctor Bliss stepping out and leaving us to the mercy of a fledgling." . "He Is pretty young. I understand he's only about twenty-tour." "And never had a case. He's surely some quack that has deceived the good old doctor." % "But if we are ailing?" "If it's any one In our family, we'll send to the city for some one that knows beans from putty. Mrs. Davis says anybody would know the young man was a quack to look at him." A doctor must have nerve. Doctor Preston had it. If he had been a failure as to nerve he would have jumped out of one of the open windows, or at least stood up and taught those young ladles how to swear in three different languages. He may have flushed a little, but his nerve held him fast Of all the 200 people making up the audi* ence he appeared to be paying the most attention to the words of the, lecturer. The young ladles had Just ceased to discuss him when his landlord came down the aisle and halted and said: "Guess I'll have to take a seat with you, Doctor Preston." "That's right—sit 4own." "Doctor Preston!" gasped Miss Nina. "Doctor Preston!" gasped Miss Mollie. There he was right behind them, and must have heard their comments and criticisms. They hadn't nerve. Kp young lady has need of i t ' Their best plan was to rise up and walk out doors as carelessly as if old Doctor Bliss was only forty years old. Many people looked at them in surprise, and the lecturer got so muddled up that he got it that Eve was created before Adam, and that she was disagreeably surprised when he came loafing; along one day. "Well, that cooks me," mused Doe* tor Preston as he walked home after the lecture. "They were simply discussing me before. Now that they know I overheard them they can never see any good in me. It's surely good-by to the Gilberts for me." Doctor Preston was fit for the best society in the village, but be did not seek it. He could accept of no invitations without meeting the two young ladies who had a grievance, and it would be embarrassing to both sides. He had three or four patients and effected speedy cures, when there came a lazy day and he got out the horse and sulky for a make-believe call to some farmer's house. Of course, you know that this is a little trick practiced by all village doctors when working up a practice. They order their boy to harness up with the speed of lightning—rush out as if a dozen men were at death'e door--ciimb into the sulky, and with a "g'iang" and a cut of the whip they are off like a tornado. '% "Some one must be badly hurt or very sick," remarked a d o ^ l # s o ^ . and about tbe time they were remarking the horse is being pulled down to a walk, halt a mile away. Doctor Preston had jogged along for three or four miles to kill time, and was thinking that the blacksmith's trade held out many possibilities for a brainy man. when he got a sudden 4 jolt Coming towards him on the broad highway was a pony and cart driven by a girl. No, not driven, because the driver had lost the lines and they were squirming under the potty's feet, while she waB clinging to the seat like grim death. No screaming with terror! No calls for help! Just a pale-faced girl, with tight-shut teeth—Just Nina Gilbert! There was timeYor the doctor to turn out and leave the runaway a clear road, but there was the bridge he had just crossed. If the pony swerved so much as a foot when he struck the bridge there must be a • smash. To spring from the sulky and poise to jump out on the runaway for a bridle-hold meant taking a hundred chances to one. The doctor threw up a hfind to tell the girl to brace herself, and then wheeled his rig square across the road. He hadn't five seconds to spare before the crash came. The pony never raised a foot to leap the obstruction, but struck the horse like a cannon ball, and there was a grand smash. Seen in a moving picture show, it surely would have captured the kids. When Doctor Preston sat up and wondered where he was at, both horses and vehicles were mixed up His horse was dead, and the other bad a broken leg. His sulky was kindling wood, and the pony cart needed hundreds of repairs. It slowly dawned on the doctor that there was something else. He had no broken bones, though he had been badly jolted. He got to his feet, staggered around to see Mlsi Nina Gilbert lying unconscious in the road. The sight aroused him and gave him strength. After a brief examination he said to himself: "Left arm broken; scalp wound; right cheek gashed; probably half a dozen bad bruises; unconscious, but not so badly hurt." A farmer came driving along in a buggy. "I've got to borrow your rig to get this patient home." said the doctor. "Runaway?" was queried. "As you see." "Who is the gal?" "Miss Gilbert of tbe village." "Then you don't borrow no rig of mine! She's a high-flyer. She drives around the country crowding humble folks like me into the ditch." Doctor Preston had to thrash the farmer to gain his point but it was well and cheerfully done. Then he threatened to do it over again unless he lent a hand to lift the patient up. Miss Nina regained consciousness barely five minutes before reaching home. Her first words after recognising the doctor were: "I—I thought you'd surely be killed!" "Only a few bruises. You got the worst of it." "Am I badly h u r t r "A broken arm is the worst Yon will want to send to the city for a doctor, I jLuppose?" "No", sir, I won't!" was the spirited reply. "It's your case, and you'll tend to it." "But-^r _ "That's all, please,*9 and then to her father and mother, who came rushing out of the house: "Don't make such a fuss over i t please. Poor Billy saw a tramp asleep by the roadside and bolted with me. I lost the lines the very first thing." "I will telephone at once to—" be* gan the father, but he was halted by: • "I have already arranged with Doctor Preston to attend my case." It was while the doctor was at his office to get the things needed to work with that Miss Nina, despiteher sufferinge^ told the brief but thrilling story; That was why the young medico found two hands stretched but to him oh his return. The broken arm was set, the scalp wound sewed up, and next day when old Doctor Bliss accompanied the young doctor to Inspect the work, be • said to the parents: ~ ""Couldn't have been done better by any city surgeon." The villagers did not hear of Doctor Preston's quick wit and heroism from ^ his own lips, but when it was known he was kept very busy shaking hands. Jn a day or two another horse and sulky were driven around to replace his loss, and the old doctor shook hands with him and said: ^¾*^'¾^ "My boy, you are beginning far bet* ten than* where I left oft.

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

Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST oh all subjects pertaining to the Subject of building, for the readers of this paper. Oh account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all theefe subjects. Address all inquiries to William A.

Everyone realizes the advantages of building on a good wide lot. but unfortunately real estate values are so high that not everyone can afford as large a space as he would like. Real estate operators have a habit of dividing up their sections into 25- foot lots, probably because that is a convenient number to figure with and not because it makes a space well suited for home building purposes. As a matter of fact, it is a difficult matter ordinarily to design a satisfactory frame house to occupy a 25- foot lot Some space must be left on each side for light and air; also the fire hazard arising from too close building must be considered. The accompanying design solves this problem especially well. The total width is 20 feet, being the width at the bay window. The balance of the right-hand wall is recessed 2¼ feet, giving additional light and air. The left-hand wall has no important window openings in it, so the house can be placed well up to the lot line on that side. Accordingly, on a 25- foot lot, even though the adjoining property should be built in close, a strip of lawn 7½ feet wide could be had along the right side of the house. can possibly be had. As an aid to ventilation it Is unsurpassed, and for comfort on the cold, rainy days of fall or spring, and even summer, when the furnace fire is out, there is nothing quite so cozy and comfortable as a blazing wood fire in the grate. The second floor of this house provides three good-sized bedrooms and a bath. There is also a generous supply of closet space. The house is planned along very economical lines as the estimated cost, $2,000, will indicate. This estimate provides for a good grade of material throughout, red oak floors Second Floor Plan. down stairs, yellow pine upstairs and birch trim throughout; also a good quality of plumbing and lighting fixtures. S C R E E N MAN LIKED SINGING Graphophone Player Had Hard Work <» to Keep From Laughing Over Compliment He Received. • First Floor Plan, This would be enough to secure good sunshine and air for the dining room and kitchen, the parlor or living room taking its light from the front This design has been very popular with the home builders in all parts of the country, which is not surprising when one considers the very attractive and substantial outward appearance of this house and the convenient arrangement of the interior. Coming through the vestibule, which is 4^8 feet, access may be had to the parlor and also directly into the dining room. The parlor is 12 feet square, having a large octagon bay in front A cased opening connects this room with the dining room, 14 by 19 feet in size. An open stairway at one side of this room adds to Its apparent size. The kitchen is directly back of the dining room, with a' good-sized pantry to the left. The cellar stairs go down from this pantry. A nice feature of the dining room is the fireplace and china closet.; No house should be built without a good, serviceable fireplace, if such Out on the South side the other day the young man of the house was playing a graphophone. He put on records by Emilio Gogoroza, the famous barytone; John McCormack and Evan Williams, tenors, and even played numbers by quartets. Working upstairs at that time painting screens was a jack-of-all trades from a shop in the neighborhood. He stopped his work and listened intently to the various kinds of solo and ensemble vocal efforts. Finally when the young man went up to his room he found his ''audience/' open-mouthed, standing in the upper hallway, a dust brush In one hand and a screen in the other. "By gum," said the screen man, "I have heard a lot 0' singin' in my time, but for all-around good singin', both high and low, you beat anything I over hearn." The young man was so taken back by the compliment that he acknowledged It with a low bow and backed into his room. Then he had to retire to a closet in order to laugh out of range of the screen man's ears.— Kansas City Journal. Rich Find of Tin In China. A placer tin mine has been discovered near Funglin, Kltyang district, which Is within the Swatow consular district The sandy bed of a mountain stream had been known for some time to contain much mineral matter.

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

Common whiting, mixed with water to the consistency of a thick dream spread on linen, forms an excellent local application to burns and scalds. The whole burnt surface should be covered, thus excluding the action of the air. The ease it affords is instantaneous, and it only requires to be kept moist by occasional sprinkling of cold water. A L L SAVE LABOR IN KITCHEN Little Helps That Will Leave the Housewife Less Tired When Day's Work Is Ended. A shelf back of the kitchen table on which to place cups, spoons and small vessels that are used frequently, the wash basin, within reach of the roller towel, a drinking cup near the water pail, all save needless exertion and time that may be utilized for something else or rest The very best stove holder can be made of an did stocking by cutting off the foot at the ankle and folding it into the leg, fastening it well as tt is folded over and over until it Is the square shape of the common ironing holder. A brass ring in one corner is a great convenience for hanging and such a holder can be laundered. In the sewing room, patterns should have their place of quick and easy access and if each one is marked it will often prove a blessing. A bag fastened on the lower part of the sewing machine for scraps will likewise be a comfort, and sharp scissors and a work table are absolute necessities. OLD B R E A K F A S T T A B L E DISH Spanish Omelet, When Properly Made, Deserves All the Popularity It Has Attained. Cut fou* ounces of bacon in very thin slices and then into one-half inch squares. Fry gently until crisp, then add one small onion, a medium sized ' tomato and five mushrooms, all chopped rather fine. Rub a freshly cut clove of garlic upon the spoon for stirring while Rooking 15 minutes. Meanwhile break six eggs into a bowl, season with a saltspoonful of salt, onefourth saltspoonful of white pepper. Give them a dozen good strokes and turn into a perfectly smooth frying pan, in which a teaspoonful of butter has been melted, and well spread. Do not stir, but shake constantly until the omelet is nearly set. Spread the bacon and vegetables quickly over the omelet, fold over and set it in the oven for about one minute. Then slip it upon a hot platter and serve at once. Our Cook Says That In filling a, cake pan it is well to remember that the center of the cake is the part which will be the highest. If the batter is spread as much to the sides as possible, leaving a depression in the center, then the cake when baked will be level. That a cheap and durable toaster for a gas stove is a piece of sheet iron. Over this is a, five-cent fire toaster can be used without danger of burning or blackening the bread. That when baking or scalloping potatoes, chops can be baked in a pan in the oven, steak broiled underneath or pudding or pie cooked at the same time. It saves gas. Warm Slaw. Select a nice solid head of winter cabbage and cut it up very fine. Put into a hot frying pan a piece of butter, the size, of a walnut, and when melted put in the cabbage with a very little water; letjt simmer till well done. Then beat up one egg very light and stir in slowly; lastly, add one-half cup of sour cream; salt and pepper to suit the taste. Another method for "hot slaw" Is to simply make a boiled dressing of two egg yolks, two tablespoons of sugar, two tablespoons of sour cream, one cup of vinegar, and a rounded teaspoonful of butter, and* pour this over the finely- cut cabbage Rice Pudding With Fig Sauce. Press hot boiled rice into buttered cups; then slip out on a hot dish and pour the sauce over. Look carefully over the figs to be used; place them in a pan and cover with cold water; cook until tender; chop very fine and press through a coarse sieve. To this pulp add the juice of one-half lemon and sugar if not sufficiently sweet To Restore a Faded Carpet. To revive the colors in faded carpet which is still good for further wear. Take half a pail of warm water and add to it either a handful of salt or a half cup of turpentine, or half a cup of vinegar, or a good-sized lump of alum, or on dark colors, four tablespoonfuls of ammonia, any of which helps to brighted the colors. Wring out a flannel cloth and wipe off the whole surface of the carpet without really wetting it through, and let it dry thoroughly before using.., v. To Clean Satin Shoe. Take a piece of flannel and dip it Into spirits of wine, rub the satin the way of the nap, turn the flannel as it gets soiled. Any light color may be cleaned this way. White satin shoes should always be kept in blue paper, or the satin gets discolored. When to Buy Shoes. To get comfortable fitting shoes, buy them late in the afternoon, when the exercise of the day has spread the muscles of the feet to their largest extent M U N Y O N 5 P A W - P A W P I L L S j C O N S T I P A T I O N Munyon's Paw-Paw Pills are nnlikeall other tics.

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

O i l , Wherever you go—In tropical or zero weather—and * whatever the make or type of gasoline car you drive, there is one oil that reduces the motor friction to the point where the greatest power develops and cuts down the upkeep cost by eliminating unnecessary repairs. That oil is Polarine and it is sold everywhere. Always flows freely—even at zero—and maintains the correct lubricating body for any motor speed or heat. Made by the world's oil specialists after 50 years of experience in scientific lubrication. Use it and add to your motoring pleasure.

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

B u y HHIK&'S HOUR I T I S N E V E R ' D E A R J Monroe, Wis.— 'When my baby was six weeks old there came a rash on his face which finally spread until It got nearly all over his body. It formed a crust on his head, hair fell out and the itch was terrible. When he would scratch the crust, the water would ooze out in big drops. On face and body it was in a dry form and would scale oft. He was in great misery and at nights I would lie awake holding his hands so that he could not scratch and disfigure himself. I tried simple remedies at first, then got medicine, but it did no good. ''Finally a friend suggested Cuticura Remedies, so I sent for a sample to see what they would do, when to my surprise after a Jew applications I could see an improvement, and he would rest better. I bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of Cuticura Soap and before I had them half used my baby was cured. His head is now covered with a luxuriant growth of hair and his complexion is admired by everybody and has no disfigurements. 1* (Signed) Mrs. Annie, Saunders, Sept. 29, 1911. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address post-card "Cuticura, Dept. L, Boston." Adv. Somewhat Contradictory.

At Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, J. C. Hill & Sons of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan* placed a peck of oats grown on their farm in competition, with oats from every part of the world. The judges had no difficulty in deciding, and the inward was given to the Saskatchewan grown oats. In 1912, the Corn Exposition had no exhibition, and our Canadian friends, although ready for a second contest had no opportunity. In 1913, the exhibition of the Society was held at Columbus, S. C , and It is said of it that it was one of the best yet held. At this exhibition, which comprised corn and all the smaller grains, Hill & Sons of Lloydminster had on exhibition for the contest another peck of oats grown on their Saskatchewan farm, in 1912. There was no trouble for the judges, no time necessarily lost in reaching a decision, Hill & Sons won, and for the second time their name will appear on the crest of the cup. The third space will doubtless be occupied by their name, and then this splendid trophy will be theirs. During the past few years Western Canada grains—wheat, oats, barley and flax—have been in competition with grains from all other countries, and in every case their superiority has been shown. It is not only in oats, but it Is in wheat, in barley and In flax, that Canada more than holds its own, when placed side by side with grains from other parts. Mixed farming Is taking a strong hold not only in those parts of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which up to the present have been devoted solely to grain growing, but also in the districts contiguous, where the conditions of climate, shelter, water, grass and hay make farming of this kind, easy to prosecute and large In profits. It was in the Province of Manitoba that the steer was raised that carried off the Championship of the steer class, at Chicago last December. This beast had been fattened on the grass and hay of the Province and the only finishing grain it had was barley; not an ounce of corn. Western Canada presents innumerable opportunities for the big farmer who wants to cultivate his thousands of acres, the medium man satisfied with a few hundred acres, the man who is content to farm his free homestead of one hundred and sixty acres; it has opportunities for "the investor, the capitalist, the business man, the manufacturer and the laborer. r ' Agents of the Canadian Government located at different points in the Unit* eci States will be pleased on application, to give any desired information, free of cost.—Advertisement PIRATE TREASURE NOT FOUND • S .

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

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

Adolph Schoen, 742 Shepherd Ave., Brooklyn » writes. Nov. 1, '1012.—"At first little red Spots were seen on my arms and body, Which I noticed were getting larger every day. They itched me so much that I scratched myself until I bled. There were times when I stood up all might and scratched. I was troubled about three weeks, during which time I used — - , which seemed to do me no good whatever. Then, finally, I thought of trying Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment. As soon as I.applied Resinol Ointment I felt much relief. After using it a few times, I noticed the sore spots slowly fading awiy, and in about a month I was cured completely."

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

I I 3 1 I •II "f t Samuel N the memory of "Tim" Donahue, twenty years a customs Inspector of the port of New York—and tbey were vivid, amazing recollections that he had!—a tale he would tell on rare occasions is that which is here set down under the title of "The Patriotic Young Man." "Georgie Tingo" is what "Tim" Donahue always called the patriotic young man, and sometimes the inspector would look glum and grim in discussing the youth, but as often he would end the yarn with a good na- Uired chuckle in spite of himself. In the passenger list of the big Dcean liner which the patriotic young man boarded at Southampton bound for New York he was listed as Samuel Maryland Mapes—a name that fairly waved and snapped like a star spangled banner in a breeze. And Patrick Henry, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and Nathan Hale all rolled Into one could have produced no greater patriot than Samuel Maryland Mapes—"named right after my Uncle Sam" he told a score of the passengers before the ship had been three hours out of Southampton. "Ah! gentlemen," cried young Mr. Mapes in the smoking room the very first night out as he lifted hjs champagne glass high, "drink with me to my country—I hope you are all so fortunate as to be able to call it your country—to the United States!" He srulped down the toast and immediately held out his glass to the waiter for replenishment. "I drink again!" be continued, "to home—home— HOME! Holy mackerel, how I long for the United States! It's two years Bince I waved a gay hand in farewell to Liberty ,ih New York harbor. Walt till we get back? You'll have to hold me on the deck, gentlemen, when we pass her, for I feel capable of leaping off the boat and landing right on the dear old girl's bronze shpul- 3er—bee-lieve me!" "The guv'nor gave me three years to travel in. Two's been enough— plenty for anybody who's got the United States for a permanent home and New York for a playground." The young man brought his voice to a more moderate key and changed the clutch on the speed of his conversation; at the same time rounding with his glance several wealthy old » gentlemen who were looking with in- 6 dulgent consideration on his highspiritedness. "I'm so glad to be homeward bound my pulse is beating about ninety above normal. I know mother and my sisters will be dreadfully disappointed. I know they are expecting me to come back with a sassy little French mustache .sticking on my Hp and my legs held "light in narrow English pants, and maybe they're expecting a single pane of glass in my face and a top hat pushed down over my ears." "All I want to do is get back; pick out my sweet Amerian girl; sit in at a desk as nearly next to father as the old gentleman will permit; get Into the game; put on my hustling clothes and wave* the good old star Bpangled banner till the gong rings." When he said that, two of the aforesaid old gentlemen were moved to arise and slap him on the back and announce: "Good boy! That's the talk! That's the stuff! You're the right kind of an American." And one of them said further: "Your dad ought to be proud of you." "I'm proud of him!" replied young Mr. Mapes. "I haven't got any use for a belted earl or duke or a prince —no, not even a gosh-blamed king as a father—or anything else. My old dad—a straight American business man and gentleman—he's plenty good enough for me." Both the old gentlemen were so overcome at this point that they simultaneously called to the steward to fetch more champagne. And even a red-faced Englishman, withja stringless monocle maintained quite marvelously in his eye, accepted a glass. He observed with a good-humored smile that the lad had "no end of cheek/' but declared that patriotism even of young Mr. Mapes' violent brand was most pardonable on any •tad all occasions *ad graciously lifted his glass as one of the old gentlemen cried: 'A toast to Mr.—Mr. V "Samuel Maryland Mapes! "Samuel Maryland Mapes of—of?—" "The U. S. A.!" replied the gay young patriot. "Samuel Maryland Mapes of the U. S. A.!" declared the toastmaster, and young Mr. Mapes bowed low. It was as "Samuel Maryland Mapes, U. S. A.," also that he was listed on the roster of the ship's passengersno town or city of residence given— just "U. S. A." Now, not only did young Mr. Mapes win favor among the "Yankees" of the smoking room set, but though irrepressible and with his patriotism always to the fore, he nevertheless captivated the American matrons and American girls aboard. When the ship was within two days of port it became palpable that the young patriot simply could not stand the nervous strain of the anticipation of once more stepping upon the soil of the land of his adoration He began to, cause the head steward worry—for fear the Champagne wouldn't hold out. He sent champagne to the American ladies with little American flags on tiny staffs set in tiny corks floating over the bubbles; forty times in the smoking room he lifted a glass and burst into patriotic song. ^ The pretty girls and the matrons were saddened to hear of these excessive indulgences. So, although young Mr. Mapes paced the deck that morning and afternoon looking a trifle glum, and subdued, the greetings from all sources were as cordial as ever— even when it was rumored that the last night at sea he hadn't gone to bed at all, but had sat up with a wine bottle in one hand and the flag of his country tied turban-wise around his flushed brow, absolution was still accorded him and no social bars fell athwart his path. No—not in spite of the fact that the next morning, with Fire Island in sight, Samuel Maryland Mapes gave every indication of keeping his spree goin^. He was everywhere along the deck, shouting, laughing. "Home—home—home!" he shouted repeatedly, and did a sort of combination fandango and Cakewalk the length of the shore-sio>/promenade He almost had a fit of hysterics when off the Fire Island reefs the big liner settled down to a very much reduced speed. Everybody winked and smiled at everybody else and turned indulgently only when they heard him yell: "Oh, what a bully idea! What a peach of a notion! Hooray!" The patriot rushed off the promenade and for a few minutes quiet had an inning on the deck. But only for a few minutes. With his arms loaded with bottles of wine, Samuel Maryland Mapes came back. There was an added decoration on the corks of the bottles. On each was sticking a little American flag. "These," cried out Mr. Mapes, tJ. S. A., "are for the tery first American I meet on the pier—whoever he or she may be^-the jsr^ry first real sure enough male or female citizen of the United States—without respect of race, color or previous condition of servitude that I bump Into will get these bottles—four of fem—•and each one decorated with the dear old flag." Suddenly one of the passengers turned to Mapes and laughed as he pointed to an old, battered oyster sloop with a big, dirty white sail that was calmly sailing along beside the great ocean steamship and owing to the reduced speed of the liner Just then was able to hold her own. "Does he get the wine?" asked this passenger, pointing out the old sharpfeatured skipper at the sloop's tiller. And a pretty girl nearby said: "He's American, I guess. The name of his boat, she volunteered, scanning the sloop's stern, "is the 'Mabel, Rockaway, L. I.'" "Well, you "know I said the first American I should meet on the pier," said Mapes. "Oh!" interjected a passenger, "you're backing out!" "I should say not!" cried Mapes it flushed indignation, "only let me bt sure he's an American and you bet your life he gets the wine!" Many eyes were turned then on the man in the sloop. He was a sparse, hook-nosed, grizzled man under whose straggly mustache an old black pipe thrust itself forward. "Ahoy, there, Mabel!" yelled Samue! Maryland Mapes; "ahoy, there, skipper!" "Ahoy yourself," said the man with the black pipe, none too cordially. "Would you mind telling me youi name?" pursued Mapes. "Ralph Smith. Why?" "Are you an American?" "What?" "Are you an American?" "I guess I am, sonny. I guess I was before you was born. So was my great-grandfather!" ] "Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue!" yelled Mr. Mapes. "Well, Mr. Smith, I'm tickled to death to meet you—to meet any American!" he went on, and waved enthusiastically as the man with the black pipe expressed a dry smile and negotiated his sloop somewhat closer to the liner. "And Mr. Smith, here are four bottles of wine. Here goes! Catch*'em!" For all his experiences of the past two days, young Mr. Mapes threw the first bottle with admirable aim. Skipper Ralph Smith as neatly caught it. But even if he hadn't, the bottle probably would have landed safelv enough on the pile of jute bags at the sailor's feet. 'Smack!" wejrt the second bottle as accurately into Captain Smith's hands. And the third and the fourth the same. So that-when a petty officer ran up to warn Samuel Maryland Mapes that It was against the marine law to pass anything off the ship until it had left quarantine and the customs, Skipper Smith hall all four bottles In his possession and was bowing with one hand and working the tiller to tack away from the steamship with the other, the wine bottle$: \ik his lap. 'Tm really very;jiorry," young Mr. Mapes explained, ''but I was quite ignorant of the regulations." • • • • * . "It wasn't till seven years afterward," Tim Donahue would tell you, "that I found out about the young man who worked up his patriotism all the way over for the neat purpose Of tossing those bottles with American flags on them to the first fellow citizen he should meet when the ship got Into the harbor. Those bottles contained about $150,000 worth of contraband gems. Of course, Skipper 'Ralph Smith' was 'Georgie Jingo's pal. He was a slick one, too. He ought to have called that old sloop the eel. He was always sneaking up beBide the liners ready to have some thing passed over the side before the big ship reached quarantine and cu» toms.

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

The British house of commons it never so amused as when a membei is betrayed, in his enthusiasm, into a mixed metaphor. Mr. Balfour, some time ago, spoke of "an empty theitei of unsympathetic auditors," while Lord Curzon remarked that "though not out of the wood, we have a good ship." Sir William Hart Dyke ha* told how Mr. Lowther "had caught a big fish in his net, and went to the top of the tree for it," while a flnan cial minister assured the commons that "the steps of the government should go hand In hand with the in terests of the manufacturer." A n d it was in the lords that the government was warned that "the constitutional rights of the people were being tram* pled upon by the mailed hand of at* thority." Not for Him.

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

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

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

As a summer cottage, whether located in the mountains, on the edge of a forest or by lake or river, the graceful, informal lines of the bungalow seem to adapt themselves Ideally to their environment. When contrasted with the oldtime, box-like, jig-saw ornamented affairs that were known as summer cot tages, the improvement is very apparent Commenting on this matter, the well-known architect, Wilson Byre, brings out some valuable points in a recent number of Country Life in America. His contention is that the bungalow fad is carrying us to architectural extremes that are not good for domestic architecture in general. As a style for general suburban use the bungalow appears to be misused and is generally objectionable when so used. As already mentioned, it has its place and purpose; first, as a weekend or summer retreat it forms an ideal contrast to our more pretentious, over-luxurious dwellings; second, it is a harmonious building for an informal location; third, when an inexpensive structure is desired the bungalow offers the maximum comfort and beauty for the minimum cost. Because the bungalow is so widely misused and misunderstood, it may be well to try to answer the question, What is a bungalow? and to analyze so dismally out of place as a fad that has ceased to be. There is another fact regarding the bungalow which has become current and that is that a one-story house is cheaper to build, and In other ways more economical than a two-story house. The increased expense of floors and roof counter-balance, however, the less expense of the wall. Plumbing and lighting are but little cheaper, if any; and because the structure is spread out it is not as easy to heat as its advocates would have us believe. Moreover, the bungalow takes up more ground than a two story house of the same number of rooms, which is a matter for consideration while land is costly and building lots small. In India the bungalow proved to be the best solution of the heat problem; not because a low, broad roof produces a cool house by any means, hut because the wide overhang of the eavos broke the glare of the intense sunshine. Bungalow rooms are not likely to be as cool as the first floor rooms of a well-ventilated two-story hoase. Doubtless there is a reason for the popularity of the bungalow style in southern California and Florida. It is always summer there. Yet this authority believes that the residents of Pasadena and Los Angeles are not quite on the right track when they build whole streets of low, broad, heavy-eaved affairs that are just now "in fashion." However, he has a good word to say for the bungalow when it is in its right place. To his mind, the bungalow should be not only a one-story house, but a very simple, informal one-story house. It is a style for the woods its real purpose in the general scheme of American home building. The term bungalow is one which Is variously applied to rustic camps, to one-story seaside cottages, low, broad one-story dwellings and even to two* story houses built on broad, extended lines with a low pitch to the root It is not, however, properlv used when applied, as is so often done, to houses and the seaside, for the place where rest and not luxury are sought It should be free from architectural embellishments, simply furnished, adapted to hot weather. For these purposes the bungalow Is a vast improvement over the average log camp or the usual jig-saw cottage of the seaside resort. It is graceful in line and suggests comfort Because it is intended to be informal, it does not demand expensive construction or finish. If one has only a small amount of money to spend, one can undoubtedly secure greater grace and beauty of outline by placing all the rooms on one floor, than by piling them up on top of each other. A five-room, twostory house built for $1,500 or $2,000 must necessarily be a plain, uncompromising cubical box. If these same five rooms were to be grouped on one floor, the unpleasant square proportions are avoided, the angle of the roof becomes more pleasing and the whole effect more graceful, with no additional cost A very good illustration of what Is meant by this is shown In the accompanying perspective and plan. This is a five-room cottage, 30 feet 6 inches in width by 40 feet 6 Inches long. It has been successfully built for $2,000. It is appropriate not only for summer cottage use, but also for rural or suburban site where a small, home-like dwelling is desired for use the year 'round. It has just a suggestion of the bungalow style, just enough to give it attractiveness without making it look out of place. having livable rooms in tbe second story. This authority does not believe in general in tbe one-story house for an all year dwelling. It Is a fad which, like -nlssion furniture is being much overdone. It is supposed to b* the up to-date fashion in many localities; but as with many ^called fashions, there is little reasonable excuse for its prev. alence. tike many fads, it ts bound to run Its course and there Is nothing At the Devil's Gate. Some people knock so hard at the devil's gate that one could suppose they were afraid he might be Inclined co admit them. Its Nature.

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

The progress of Balkan affairs is giving European diplomacy some uneasy moments. The allies have t a k w * . 4 t ^ t f W independent attitude ar^d refuse to accept orders from the powers^ The question is, if It becomes necessary to coerce them, how can that be done. The allies recognize this dilemma and realize that the concert of Europe Is not as harmonious as a month ago. The present policy of the Balkan states is to debate the.peace terms and continue the war at least until Montenegro has captured Scutari. The smallest kingdom in Europe continues to defy the six great powers. King Nicholas talks freely to interviewers, declaring that he will take and keep the town, which he considers necessary to the prosperity of his kingdom. The allies have submitted to the powers their formal reply to |he suggested basis for peace negotiations with Turkey. f The reply purports to J>e an accept* ance of the mediation conditions, but the acceptance is subject to reservations which practically repudiate the proposed terms. To Debate New Constitution Arrangements were completed at Columbus, Ohio, for a series of joint debates to be delivered from coast to coast next fall'between Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow of Cincinnati, president of Ohio's recent constitutional convention, and former Governor Frank Hanly of Indiana, on the question: "Resolved, th|t the federal constitution is outgrown and obsolete and should be amended or altered in its fundamentals, or a new one substituted." Rev. Mr. Bigelow will take the affirmative and former Governor Hanly the negative Aide of the question. Labor Leaders are Liberated William D.

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