The uew custom house Ih New York, begun In 3900, has been completed at a cost of $7,200,000. It covers the entire block between Whitehall street and State street, running from Bowling Green to Bridge street. Its street faces are adorned with splendid pieces of sculpture typifying commerce, and its main court, or rotunda, is one of the largest spanned by a single root. The interior fittings are ornate and disuihed, as is befitting in a public building belonging to a rich and populous country. About two-thirds of the customs revenue ot" tho country is paid over the desks of the collector of Now York. The remaining one-third is collected in the more than 140 other collection districts. An elaborately etjuipp;'d suite of offices has been provided in the building for the use of the secretary of tho treasury on his ofUelal visits to New York. Other suites are set apart for the weather bureau, the naval bureau, the civil service board, the isthmian canal commission, the secret service department and soma other branches of tho national government that have to use offices in New York. But, saya the Youth's Companion, they all together occupy much less space than that devoted to thy use of the various branches of the tariff collection service.

The iron clad warship is only 45 years old, yet, passing through a process of swift evolution to its present perfection, this American discovery has revolutionized the science of naval warfare throughout the whole world. There are now 270 vessels In commission in the United S t a t * navy where at one time, in Washington's administration, there was not one. Of these there are 13 battleships of the first and second class, carrying guns into whose mouth this country's first and only "commander-in-chief of the navy," Esek Hopkins, might easily have hidden his disgraced head when an outraged continental congress summarily dismissed him. It was in Hampton Roads that the first chapter in the world's history of iron clads war, written. It was in Hampton Roads that the nation gathered 16 of her finest sea fighters ready for a trip of nearly 20,000 miles. W f a r e the Merrimac swung clumsily acroaa t h e channel long ago and drove terror to the hearts of seamen who had never yet seen such a monster, Iron clads as graceful and as swift as greyhounds have come and gone all summer until they have become a familiar sight. Among these Is the Minnesota, the largest of Uncle Sam's big battleships, and next only in size to the Dreadnaught, which King Edward of England launched with such ceremony a year or go ago, and to the Satsuma, Japan's new monster of deep. id, save tfves of \* History of American Navy.

However, that congress appropriated $700,- 000 with which to build six frigates. Among these were the Constitution, now the oldest ship afloat under any flag, and a training ship for apprentices at Portsmouth. With this fleet and its later auxiliaries Decatur taught the rulers of Algiers and Tripoli a stern lesson, and America soon took her place among the naval powers of the world, a place which none disputed after her victories over Great Britain in 181,2-IS 15. Quick Work of Preparation. The president issued the orders for the sailing of this fleet on August 2,1, and since then coal mines, railways, provision dealers, and manufacturers oi heavy ordnance and ammunition have known the busiest season thoy have had since the Spanish-American war. Altogether 35 vessels go to San Francisco, and when all have assembled in the waters off the coast, of California, "Fighting Hob" Evans will have under his command the largest, most invincible, tho most perfectly equipped fleet that has ever mobilized in one place since the history of the world began. The aggregate displacement of tho vessels sailing is nearly 42,000 tons, and the aggregate power is ff64 guns of four inch calibre and over. The four divisions of this fleet will carry 581 officers and 11,500 enlisted men, as fine an array.of jackies as any navy has ever known, and an earnest and eager set, too, for as soon as the news of the cruise was noised abroad enlistments increased rapidly throughout the navy and desertions became practically unknown The moaern wife who puzzles for days over the packing of her husband's gripa and lunch basket when ! he is off for a week's hunting trip, can never begi* to appreciate the enormity of Columbia's task in fitting out her 11,500 soas for an outing of 115 days, in which they are not expected to get foot on land at all. Besides all the Btores that each ehip can carry vmen her capacity is taxed to it* fullest, there will be two ships that carry supplies alone, the Glacier and Calgoa. ••amenta 8uppiy of Coat. ___t *tew of coal alone is not incrmeJferaMe.

Eight coHters accompany t h e fleet. The Marcellus, Hannibal, Leonidas and possibly the Sterling accompany the fleet to Trinidad, and then return for more coal. Others will go as far as Rio and return te join the fleet again at Magdalena bay, and all that have free space 'tween deck* will carry general supplies for the Mare Island navy yard. The Connecticut carries 150 tons of briquettes made of slack coal and pitch to test them as a suitable fuel for use in the navy. Tho cost of coaling, exclusive of the amount of coal carried by tho ships from Norfolk to Trinidad, will be $1,220,280, a sum more than eyual to the bonded debt of the state of Idaho or the state of Washington. Provisions in Plenty, AH (O provisions, Columbia must pack enough in the giant hampers to feed her sous for the long 115 days, and have enough extra goodies for Christmas, New Year's and Washington birthday dinners, and tho list shows she has not. been niggardly in her selection. There are a variety of foodstuffs, including tons of cereals, salt meats, dried fruits and canned goods, and 593,300 pounds of flour for making fresh bread in lieu of long anathematized hard tack. There are tons of dessicated foodstuffs that have already been tested and found good, and the more recent additions—dried eggs and dehydrated vegetables. There are 9,000 pounds,.of dried eggs, an equivalent of 36,000 dozen fresh eggs, and when the ChrlBtmas baking is on and the 30,000 fresh eggs also carried are not available, the mixer of cakes will find that t h e dried product when mixed with water will froth as easily as the fresh. New methods of communication between the ships have been installed, and new methods of controlling the Are from the guns. So new is this system of fire control that a retired naval officer was heard to remark when the news came to him: "That is a good idea, a good idea. 1 a m glad to hear it, indeed, for fire is a moat dangerous thing aboard a ship!" The Colorado, was first in this experiment. Wirelea*' telegraphy has been a part of a bat- Heship's equipment for so many year« now that it is quit© an old story, but the fleet decided it must have wireless telephony, too, so the past few weeks have witnessed a busy scene in Hampton Roads, and in New York and Brooklyn harbors, where experts have bren busy putting in the appliances, Connecticut Is Flagthip. .

Mr. Clayton, Representative John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi and Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, alt spoke in favor or the pasaage of the resolution. Mr. Smith was especially emphatic in saying that the $100,000 which had been offered to secure t h e Republican convention and refused by the Republican national committee had been offered to and was about tobe accepted by tho Democratic committee. He said the Republicans had turned down the offer because it was regarded in the nature of a bribe and that Democrats, in view of that circumstauce, could not afford to accept it. Mr. Williams spoke in similar vein, as also did Mr. Clayton. Mr. Taggart advocated the acceptance of the- $100,000, saying it would be needed now even worse than money was needed in 1904 and that at that time it would have been practically impossible to have opened headquarters for Judge P a r k e r if they had not had the extra money secured from St. Louis, where t h e convention was held. A Rough Deal. "I have had a d—n rough deal from the White House." This statement w-as made by Secretary Cortelyou to an old friend. The friend, in repeating it, said: "It almost took me off my feet It was the first time in all my long acquaintance with George Cortelyoir that 1 ever heard him use the word." Cortelyou's remark was made in connection with_ a conversation brought, on by the mention of the president's statement that he would not take another term, but after the first statement of the secretary's a!- most-profanily his friend would not go into details regarding the secretary's talk • & • > « The Japs Were Slow. Gen, Kuropatkin, who was the star witness Thursday in the btoassel trial. gave evidence that amounted to a showing that Stoesscl was not lo blame for the fail of Port Arthur. He made the interesting statement that the Japanese could have taken Port Arthur by assault in ttie early days of the war The defenses were then so incomplete that the fortress must have fallen at the llrst vigorous attack; but the slowness of the Japanese and the resistance made by tho army in the Held gave the Russians time to improvise defense works which had withstood the Japanese for months.

She runs uwuy and reaches the t u m p ot Martin Friable, omupied by Martin, his wiff, nephew, Raymond Stetson, and guides. She tells her story und is eared for by Mrs. Frisble. Journey of Fri*d>k>*» party into woods to visit lather of Mrs. Krluble, an -old hermit, who has resided in the wilderness for many years. When camp Is broken. Chip and Ray oc- < upy ;;amc canoe. The party reach camp of Mrs. Frisbie's father and are welcomed by hhn und Cy Walker, an old friend and former townsman of the hermit. They settle down for summer's stay. Chip and Ray are in love, but no one realizes this but Cy Walker. Strange canoe marks found on lake shore in front of their cabin. Strange smoke is seen across the lake. Martin and Levi leave for settlement to get officers to arrest MeGuire, who is known as outlaw and escaped murderer. Chip's one woods friend. Tomali, an Indian, visits camp. Kay believes he sees a bear on the vldge. Chip is stolen by Pete Bolduc and escapes wtth her In a canoe. Chip is rescued by Martin and Levi as they are. returning from the settlement. Bolduc escapes. Old Cy proposes to Ray that he remain in the woods with himself and Amzl and trap during the winter, and he concludes to do so. Others of the party return to Oreenvaie, taking Chip with them. Chip starts" to school in Oreenvale, and finds life unpleasant at Au it Comfort's, made so especially by Hannah. Old Cy and Ray discover strange tracks In the wilderness. They penetrate further into the wilderness and discover the hiding place of the man who had been sneaking about their cabin. CHAPTER XIV.—Continued. Then came another surprise, for suddenly Old Cy caught sight of a man just emerging from behind a rock fully ten rods from the rising smoke; he stooped, lifted-a eanoc into view, advanced to the shore, slid it halfway into the water, returned to the rock, picked up a rifle, then pushed the canoe off. and, crossing the lake, vanished into the outlet. The two watchers, on the ridge exchanged glances. "He's goin' to tend his traps, an mebbe oum," Old Cy satd at last, and then led the way back to their bark shack. Here he halted, and placing one hand scoop-fashion over his ear, listened intently until he caught the faint sound of a paddle touching a canoe gunwale. First slightly, then a more distinctive thud, and then less and less until the sound ceased. "The coast's n e a r , : ne added, now in an exultant whisper, "an' while the old cat's away we'll take a peek at his den." A hurried gathering of their few belongings was made, the canoe was shoved into the lagoon, and no time was lost until the lake was crossed and they drew along side of where the smoke wa3 still rising in a thin film. No landing was possible here, for the shore was a sheer face of upright slate, and only where thrs lone trapper had launched hia canoe could they make one. From here a series of outcropping slate ledges rose one above another; and between them and parallel to the Shore, narrow, Irregular passages partially closed by broken rock. It was 411 jif alaty formation, jagged, serrated and gray with moss. Following one of these passages, Old Cy and Ray came to the ledge out of ' Arhich the smoke was rising from a • '•"' iirevasse. It was a little lower than _. < n e . In front, perhaps 40 feet in ^~t f jjreadth, double that in length, and of a more even surface. At each end was a short transverse passage hardly wide enough to walk in, and a few feet deep. And now, after a more careful examination of the crevasse out of which .: | h e thin film of smoke rose, Old Cy %«jkegan a search. Up and down each ^ j t ^ a v r o w passway he peeped and peer- -*- ^ ' # d . but nowhere was a crack or ranny to be found in their walls. In jUces they were as high as his head, •beer faces of slate, then broken, serrated, moss-coated, or of yellow, rusty color. Here»and there a stunted spruce had taken toot i s some crack, and •over, back froia the topmoet ledge, t M i l T W i a a e J o t n r s he*m* and continued up the low mountain, Here, also, In a sunny nook below- this belting tanelo oTswul"* spruce, were ample signs cf 4, t a p p e r ' s occupation in the way of pelts stretched upon forked sticks and savaslug 4rpm a co|ji«r£S8- lng this niche. They were 6f the usua^-epecles found in thi* jsllderaese, —a^ldoaen haujrttrat, witbTa Jew miafc a n d ' o t t e r skins and ojoe lyna. Another sign of human* presence was also noted, for h e r e . * log stowing ax marks, with *±dlt wood and ohin> all about, was seep.. "Some o* t>o,js pejts ia Qurn" qtd Cy ejaculated, glancing at the ac ray, "an' I've a notion we'd, best jbook .an to 'em. Mebbe n o t though,' he added a moment later, "ft might git us Into more trouble." Cut Ray was getting more and more uneasy each moment since they had landed there.- It seemed to him a most dangerou* esplplt, and whUe Old Cy had hunted oyer this curious confusion of slate ledges and stared at the rising film of smoke, Ray had covertly watched, the lake's outlet. "I d o n * think we'd better stay here much longer," he said at last. "We can't tell how soon that man may come back and catch us." "Guess you're right," Old Cy asserted tersely, and after one more look at the inch-wide crack out of which the smoke rose, he led the way to their canoe. "Thar's a cave thar, sure's a gun." he muttered, as they skirted the bold shore once more, "an' thai smoke's comin' out on't. I wish I dared stay here a little longer V hunt fer it." Old Cy was right, there was a cave there beneath the slate ledge—in fact, two caves; and in one, safe and secure, as its owner the notorious Me- Guire believed, 'were concealed the savings of his lifetime. More than that, so near do we often come to an important discovery and miss it, Old. Cy had twice leaned against a slab of slate closing the entrance to this cave and access to a fortune, the heritage of Chip MeGuire. Closed in a Death-Grapple. Ray's fear, while well founded, wore needless, however. MeGuire—for it was this outlaw whom they had ample reason to avoid—was many miles away. And yet so potent was the sense of danger, that neither Old Cy nor Ray thought of footi, or ceased paddling one moment, until they had crossed the vast swamp and once more pulled their canoe out at the point where they had entered it the day before. Here a brief halt for food and rest was taken; than they shouldered their light craft and started for Hirch Camp. In the meantime another canoe was ascending this winding stream, and long before nightfall, Pete Bolduc, sure that he was on the trail of Me- Guire, entered the ledge-bordered lake. CHAPTER XV. To trail an enemy who is never without a rifle and the will to use it, requires courage and Indian cunning aa well. Pete Bolduc had both, and after observing the many signs of a trapper's presence in the swamp, he knew, after he crossed it and reached this laket that somewhere on its shores his enemy, MeGuire, had his lair. He naueed at the outlet, as did-Old Cy, to scan every rod of its rocky shores, not once, but a d o ^ a times. No thought of the blessed harmony of lake, sky, and forest, or the sequestered beauty of this spot, came to the half-breed. Revenge and murder— twin demons of his nature;—were in his heart, and the Indian cunning that made him hide while he watched for signs of his ene<iy. The bare peak overlooking the 4 » ' * Boon impressed him as a vantage SolUt, and after a half-hour of watolAaV Hfetenlng he laid his rifle across t h e t V w a r t , handy h, grasp on the iastaat, i.*d, seizing his paddle once mora, giuspiil the lake to the foot of the gam*, f To hide his csfcfp afe** ascend thl wit* f a * * And r i * M < a J i n e next mo at sheltering crevasse he lay and watched for his enemy. Two hours later, and Just a t sunset* MeGuire returned to the lake. As usual, he, too, paused at the outl e t , to scajkMs shores. H e believed himself utterly secure here, and thought no human being was likely to flitf this l a k e l e t . But for all that, he was watchful. Some exploring lumberman or some pioneer trapper might cross this vast swamp and find this lake during his absence. A brief scrutiny assured him t h a t h e was still safe from human eyes, and he crossed t h e lake. From the bare dlff a alagle keen^ and vengeful eye watched him. As usual, also, MeGuire m a d e his; landing at a, convenient point, some 5$ rods from his care, and carried his canoe, up and turned it over, hack ol a low-jutting ridge of slate. H e skinned the half-dozen prizes his traps had secured that day and followed a shallow defile to his lair. Here his pelts were stretched, a slab of slate was lifted from its position In a deep, v i d e crevaase between two of these ledges, and MeGuire crawled into his den. Most of these movements were observed by the half-breed, who, watching ever while he plotted and planned how best to catch his enemy unawares, saw hiirj emerge from amid the ledges again, go down to the lake, return with d pail of water, and vanish once more. All this was a curious proceeding, for he, like Old Cy, had expected to find MeGuire occupying some bark shelter, and even now he supposed there was one among this confusion of bare rocks. Another surprise soon came to this distant watcher, for he now Baw a thin column of smoke rise from a ledge and continue in varying volumne until hidden by twilight. And now, secure in his cave and quite unconscious of the watcher with murderous intent who had observed his actions, MeGuire was- enjoying himself. He had built a little slate fireplace within his cave. * A funnel of the same easily fitted material carried the smoke up to a long, inch-wide fissure in the roof. He had a table of slate to eat from, handy by a bed filled with moss and dry grass, also pine knots for needed light. Opening into this small cave was a lesser one, alwajls cool and dry, for no rain nor melting snow could enter it, and here was McGuire's pantry, and here also a hutf-dozen tin cans, safely hidden under a slab of slate, stuffed with gold and banknotes. To still further protect this inner cave he had fitted a section of slate to entirely fill its entrance. When the last vestige of sunset had vanished and twinkling stars were reflected from the placid lake, the halfbreed descended from hjs lookout point, and, launching his canoe, followed close to the shadowed shore and landed just above where MeGuire disembarked. Indian that ho,was, he chose the hours of night and darkness to crawl up to the bark shelter which he expected to find, his intention being to thrust a rifle muzzle close to his enemy's head and then pull the trigger. But to do this required a long wait and extreme caution. His enemy surely had a camp-fire behind a \cdge, and shelter as well. The smoke had seemed to rise out of a ledge, but certainly could not, and so—still unaware of McGuire's position, yet sure that he was amid these ledges, and near a shelter—Pete grasped his rifle and crept ashore. It was too early to surprise his enemy—time to fall asleep must be allowed. Yet so eager was the halfbreed to deal death to him, that he must needs come here to wait. No chances must be taken when he did crawl up to his victim, for a false step or the rattle of a loose stone, or his form outlined against the starlit sky as he crawled over a ledge, might mean death to him Instead of MeGuire. And so, crouching safely in a dark nook above the landing, Pete waited, watched and listened. One hour passed—it seemed two— and then the half-breed crept stealthily up to where the smoke had been seen. Not by strides, or even steps, but as a panther would, lifting one foot and feeling where it would rest and then another, and all the while listening and advancing again. It was McGuire's habit, while staying here, to look at the weather prospects each night, and also to obtain a drink of cool water before going to sleep. Often when the evenings were not too cold, he would sit by the lake shore for a half-hour, smoking and watching its Btarlit or moon-glittering surface, and listening to the calls of night prowlers. -' . In spite of being an ovtj&W, devoid of moral nature, and one 'Mso preyed upon his fellow-man. h e WA» not<without sentiment, and the w t i ^ g f t A d e a r of these enclosing aM&ntawCr-and the sense of security they^Mtave, were pleasant to him. H i t ^ 0 » had been a harsh and brutal <mf. ate had dealt in man's lust aad w e t at liquor. He measured all htjBjjgfcktad hy his own standard of riatJtpeji « r o n g , and bet h a t he flMNRal Oslifcs or they would so long as he rived. H e felt that every man's hand was against him, and no repreaofae* of conscience had resulted from his cold-blooded kill* lug of an officer. Never once die the thought return of t h e lew years v hen a woman's mind sought his in tenderness, nor any sense of the unspeakable horror he had decreed for his own child. So Tile ft. wretch seemed unfit for God's green earth; and yet the silence of night beside this lake, and the stars mirrored on its motionless surface, soothed and satisfied him. * He had now and then another impulse— to some day take his savings of many years, secreted here, and go to, some other country, assume another name, and lead a different life. And now, while- an unsuspected enemy was waiting for him to enter a sleep t h a t should know no waking, he left his cave and seated himself on a shelf-like projection close to the lake, which was deep here, and the ledge shore a sheer face rising some ten feet above the water. One hour e r more this strange compound of brute and toan sat there contemplating t h e stars, and then he suddenly detected a sound—only a faint one. the mere click of one pebble striking smother. He arose and listened. Soon another soft, crashing sound reached him. Some animal creeping along in the passage between the ledges, he thought. He stepped quickly to the end of the shelf. On that instant a crouching form rose upward and confronted him. Ko had one moment onj^, but enough to see a tall man a step below him, the next a flash of spitting fire, a stinging pain in one shoulder, and this human panther leaped upon MeGuire! But life was sweet, even to MeGuire, and as he grasped and struck at this enemy in a blind instinct of self-preservation as both closed in a death grapple, one instant of awful agony came to him as a knife entered his heart—a yell of" rttinglcd hate and deadly fear, as two*'oodles writhed on the narrow shelf, a plunging sound, as both struck the water .below—and then silence. Death and vengeance were clasped in one eternal embrace. WILL N01 BE k * « . ( , CHAPTER XVI. For two months life at Birch Camp much resembled that of a woodchuek or a squirrel. Now and then a day came when the crusted snow permitted a gum-gathering trip into the forest, or a few midday hours at ice fishing; atid never were the first signs of spring more welcome than to those winter-bound prisoners. The wise counsel and patient example of Old Cy had not been lost upon Hay, either; and that winter's experience had changed him to an almost marvelous degree. He was no longer a moody and selfish boy, thinking only of his own privations, but. more of a man, who realized that he had duties and obligations toward others, as well as himself. With the tot tuning sun and vanishing snow, animal life was o*ee more astir, and a short season of trapping was again entered upon, and mingled with that a few days more of gumgathering. If was brief and at a disadvantage, for ice still covered the lake, and until that disappeared no use of the canoes could bo made. Once well under way, however, spring returned with speed, the brooks began to overflow, the lake to rise, and one morning, instead of a white expanse of watery ire, it was a blue and rippled lake once more. And now plans for Ray's return to Greenvalp were in order, and the sole topic of discussion. He was as eager as a boy anxious for the close of school, and for a double reason, which is self-evident. It was agreed that Old Cy and himself should make the trip out together in two canoes, and convey their stores of gum and firs. At the settlement these were to be packed, to await later sale and shipment. Old Cy would then return to camp, and Ray would go on to Greenvale. A change in this plan came in an unexpected manner, however, for a few days before the one set for departure, Old Cy, always on watch, saw a canoe enter the lake, and who should appear but Levi, Martin's old guide. -"I've been cookln' up at a lumber camp on the Moosehorn," he explained, after greetings had been exchanged, "an* I thought I would make ft trip up here an' call on ye 'fore I went out." 0*0 UK CONTINUED.) •' -^"K '-'it1 Cargoes Worth a Fortune. It might he supposed that the great ocean liners bring in the most valuable cargoes. They don't. The little steamers that ply between here and the mighty Amazon river bring the richest cargoes that reach the p o r t It is safe to say that. $500,000 is the value of an average ocean liner's cargo. The steamship Graagense recently brought 4,369 cases of rubber. On a basis of $500 per case this alone was worth $2,1S4,500. This is outside the value of the skins, nuts and cocoa on board. Sometimes the ships bring egret plumes* that are worth a for THiRD TERM CRY IS iTOPPEO SHORT «Y PRESIDENT ROOSeVEUT. STANDS BY THE RECORD Ths Announcement Is Short and Unequivocal, Leaving No Chance for Further T a l k on t h e Subject All doubt as to President Roosevelt's attitude on the third term question was dispelled by his positive statement that he is not a candidate for a third term. The president, it is stated, had awaited the formal issuance of the call for the next Republican national, convention before destroying all doubt as to a possible change in his attitude since his famous announcement following hia election in 1904. It is believed that for some time Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock, Internal Revenue Commissioner Capers and southern Republican leaders have been booming things in the south to secure Roosevelt delegates and throw them to Cortelyou later. The president, it is said, believed all along that his boom in the south was founded on good faith and he could not very well quarrel about it. But when he found it was a political makeshift he decided to kill it quickly, and did so with his announcement which follows: On the night after election I made the following announcement: "I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people In thus expressing their confidence in what I have done and have tried to do. I appreciate to the full the solemn responsibility this confidence Imposes upon me, and I shall do alt that In my power lies not to forfeit it. On the 4th of March next I shall have served three and a half years, and this three and a half years constitute my first term The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination." 1 have not changed and shall not change the decision thus announced A Bloody Revolution. Prof. D. L. Anderson, president of Foo Chow university, w£*-4a California, believes that upoS) t h e death of the empress doWftfler,-~0MM will be the scene of a, bloody revelation. That revolution, he believes will mark China's entrance into the parliament of the world as a power to be reckoned with. Prof. Anderson, who has spent many years in China, says that the people of China are now wide awake to the necessity of education; that the power of the people is steadily growing, and ' that at the same time the populace and its rulers are drifting farther apart" "The younger generation in China." he says, "is acquiring a good education. A revolution is pending. In the nature of things it is bound to be a blQody one. but China will be all the bette,- (or it, and in the h a n d j f f n%w . . and enlightened administrators ^ I J o ^ - - - ^ v will 4iave tha confidence of the people china will be9f>ne of the greatest nations of the earth." •% The Japanese Flood. In spite of the utmost viligance ex ereised by immigration officials along the Mexican border, Japaneae laborers are pouring into the United States by thousands. Within the .'1*51 thre* or four months it is estimated! thfttrsjieariy twenty thousand Japanese laborers have slipped into Texas, New Mexico and Arizonia. and although the most, strenuous efforts are being made to stop tlio steady inflow they continue to come. Administration officials are now trying to devise some scheme that will stop the unwelcome immigration without hurting the feelings of lapan. The result could easily be at tained by placing the Japanese under the same regulations as apply to the Chinese, but this could not be done without recourse to a new treaty with Japan, and consequent tone; 4***?> «* well as perhaps the creatlOS e|^ttH»itt between the two powers. f Storm Wide Spread.

Ullle'a words kept repeating themselves sleepily in her tired brain. "A light load." Surely this Christmas gift Mould be light enough for Santa Glaus, to take anywhere. Clip, clip, went the shears, and wonderful creations fell from Hattie's hands. There was a father with a miniature newspaper spread uuS before him. There was a mother with a baby in her arms and another in a tiny paper cradle at h^r feet. There were brothers and sisters. i Snip—snip—Her hands went slower and slower until ihc last of the paper family trailed off into aimletjs cutting. Then Hattie's weary head sank down on the table and Hattie was asleep. Asleep and dreaming of Mark. In the daytime she could keep the thought of him awuy from her with tierce determination. In the night It Would come. She was dreuming and she knew it. She had dreamed of him too often not to know. And In her dream the door burst open aud Mark stood before her. Of course it could not be real. Or, rather, it waa a dreaiu of -Mark's ghost all deathly white. Hut even Murk'a ghost was welcome. There could not be any harm in embracing a ^host in a dreanj.

REMOVAL COMES NOW •i*fc Governor Makes « Plain Statement Mof the Gate and Hit Intentions in the Matter. Gov. Warner personally demanded the resignation: of F r a n k P. Glasier as state treasurer in the latter's home Wednesday morning, and Mr. Glacier refused point blank to quit the office. The governor pleaded with the financier to withdraw as gracefully as possible for the interests of both himself and the public, but Mr. Glazier insisted that he will remain In office and tight to the utmost all steps to ouet him. The governor will at once take the necessary legal steps to have Mr, Glazier removed, and the state treasurer will be cited to appear la Lansing and answer the charge against him of "gross neglect of duty" as soon as he Is able physically. It is necessary for the governor in taking steps to remove the treasurer to move along a well-defined path. The charges must be formally prepared and submitted and then notice served on Mr. Glazier, who must be given au opportunity to meet them, real man who stood before her, be- The governor makes this plain statenumbed with cold, and covered with ment: snow from head to foot.

He lias his sleigh, you kjipw. And there is snow here, * # » 7 * •tow." . The atck woman, lying on the bed in iihe little pioneer cabin, looked at the white whirl of flakes that shut out, al! tout the gray daylight from the little windows and shuddered. Yes, there was plenty of snow. You could not see even the dimmest, outline of anyt h i n g that was ten feet away. And somewhere out. in the snow—she knew might bring m:1 s.mie present that was light, Hattie?" "Yes, he shall," said Hattie, with determination. She was only the hired girl who had come iu friendly pioneer fashion to help the settler's wife through her sickness; but to the inmates of the little cabin she wan a ministering angel. Strong aud faithful ami efficient, an angel could hardly have clone more in that prairie home. Yet she did not look in the least like an angel as she put on the pioneer's old cap and coat, tied a red woolen scarf around her neck, drew old stockings over her shoes and floundered out through the drifts, stout and rosy in the wind, to do the chores for the night. Not a glimpse of the near by barn could be obtained from the cabin | door. Hattie tied a long rope to the door knob and carefully held the other end as she walked toward it. She knew too well how more than one j pioneer had lost, their way in the \ trackless whiteness at no greater disj tance than this from their homes, and ; been frozen to death. ; She pulled down hay and fed the stock a::d milked. She brought out. she knew that all the time she carried beneath her songs and cheery words a heartache that was as hard to bear as the young wife's own. It was Mark for whom her heart ached. A year ago she had thought that by this time she and Mark would be settle*! in a pioneer cabin of their own. Her quilts were all quilted, her store of household goods was ready, lint a coldness had come between them, and Mark had gone away— not where—her husband was journey- j p a n s f l l H o f t h n B B 0 W w a t e r Bhf, h a ( ] >£; («* ."'i^r* tit.'' . ,f W *v ing. Three weeks ago he had start ed to the nearest, town 60 miles away , for aqjiptlea. He had been sure that '"~~fa' WOQld return in a week. Was he lylAC 10W under one of those huge wktte drift*? Was he out in this dreadful blizzard, perhaps freezing to death at this very minute. She turned away from the window and moaned. She could not bear to answer the child. But Hattie, the hired girl, who never seemed to lose heart, answered cheerily: "Land sakes, yes, there is plenty of ?now, Llllie. But you know Santa Claus Is getting old. Tie can drive in the snow of course, but a howling blizzard like this might freeze him " " You'd better make up your mot to get any Christ niaa ores 9Mvrm^pmi); - jam w^uftn't / T t i S i t y k t * Claui frotttt to death." ' "j "No, of course not. Hut. papa goes out on the prairie. Why shouldn't Santa Claus? Don't you think he could} get here with a light load? You j know, when we en me. we got stuck in ; the Bioughs lots of times and papa ' unloaded the wagon and got it across '. empty. Don't you think Santa Claus could do that?" | "But If he unloaded his sleigh he couldn't bring you any Christmas present*." , \ "Oh, be could Just take out the) Aeavy things. Don't you think he i melted in the big wash boiler for them to drink. She brought in a great, supply of fuel and made everything outdoors and in as snug and cheery as possible. Then she cooked the supper—that did not take long for there; was little to cook—and washed up the dishes and cared for the sick woman and the little babe. She put Lillle to bed in the queer little trundle-bed—the child chattering about Santa Claus every minute—and tucked her in as happy as if there were no fear or anxiety in the world; oh, what would the pioneer families have done without the "girls" of that time? The mercury ranged i and f> degrees below zero. The storm outside howled with the fury of a legion of demons. In some drift out. there in the whiteness John Carver might, be sinking to death now. The baby cried and the sick woman moaned. There was no lack of occupation for the young helper. Hattie's strong arms held the child till it was quieted and at the same time heated flannels, brought water, smoothed pillows, and did everything that could bo done for the anxious young mother. "Hattie. you haven't anything to worry you," cried the sick woman, enviously. Not a thing except what worries other people,' answered H<Mfc% Efo "back es.st where girls were plenty." Since then she had been learning to live without him and it was a bitter lesson. True she did not speak of it, not even to her best friends, but the ache was always there. Her work was done at, last. She had time to look at little Lillie slumbering in J/ier low trundle-bed with her stocking spread out trustingly on the pillow beside her. Xow was the | time for Santa, Claus to come. Hut the sick mo! her was too ill and broken I with anxiely to be bothered. There was nobody to fill that stocking but Hattie, and nothing to fill it, with except what her girl's wit, might devise. She was very tired. All day she had been battling against storm and sickness, doing a wotman's work and a man's too. Now she must do Santa Claus' work. Was ever a Santa Claus so slceny? Oh, what would she not give to throw herself on the bed, dressed as she was, and sleep? Hut there was no time for that. Santa Claus must, c»me to the waiting child. She knew that in a little while the sick woman would rouse again and need her. Softly and wearily she lift*, ed the one little drop-leaf table oveM' to the window farthest from the sick mother and placed the lamp upon it. Then she got. out her precious, diminishing store of letter paper that had to be brought to her from 6 miles away, — and came to Smith's farm. Craver— too badly frozen—lo go on. WW1 be all right after awhile, but couldn't go on then. Wanted lo like fury. Smith had to bold him back. Good thing, lie couldn't have come on his frozen feet. 1 -came on—alone. Got. hist again. Heen lost all day. Pretty near ••-gave out. Thought. I'd have—-to give up. So dark and cold. Saw-- i your light when wind went down. Came to—you," The words might be jerky and disjointed, but ilaltie understood it and never words sounded sweeter. "Santa Claus did come in the night," chirruped Lillie. "1 saw him. He was all white. And he brought me this." She held up the precious paper doll family. "Aren't they lnbhiy. I fought he covdd get froo with a light. load." Then another thought came to her. "Htif he didn't bring anyfing to you. Hattie. That's loo bad." "No, no, it's as good as it could he." Hattie laughed out in pure joy. "He brought me the one thing 1 wanted most in the world. And I shall be thankful to him every day I live; for if T had not kept my lamp burning in the window while I was working— I mean waiting for him—Mark woulc* not have found the way." Willing to Prove It. The Christinas spirit, warmed the old lady's heart, and she said to the tattered, shivering tramp: "If I give you a nickel how can I be sure that you won't go straight off and get. intoxicated with it?" "Madam," the man answered, pointing to the laurel-decked corner saloon, "it would give me great pleasure to afford you practical demonstration that the sum isn't enough for the purpose."

Taylor went to Chelsea Tfcuraday to serve papers In bankruptcy on 8tate Treasurer Frank, p. Gleaier. The action was forced Wednesday afternoon by the Detroit creditors, who met and appointed Bernard B. Selling, of Detroit, attorney of record in the pro* ceedings. Involuntary proceedings were filed by Mr, Selling in the United States district court Thursday' morning. The creditors interested include all of the Detroit banks *hich hold Qlssier's paper. This action baa. been expected in Chelsea1 ever since the Glasier Stove Co. directors met two weeks ago and refused to voluntarily ask jtor s receiver. The creditors believe that Glasier's. affairs are in such a tangle between the banks of Detroit and in Stockbridge and the stove company that the only way his affairs c a n b e straightened out is to nave a receiver d o l t It is believed that Glasier will light the proceedings when he is able. Depositors in the Glasier- bank fn Stockffridge, which closed when the Glasier crash came two weeks ago, will not receive over 50 per cent. This is apparent in the statement filed by Receiver Dancer at Lansing. .It shows that the resources of the bank amount to $309,045.97, of which almost half, $140,ift8.39, is in bills receivable, and of this amount Glasier was either directly or indirectly responsible for $114,000. Glasier personally borrowed only $50,000, but tbe remainder was borrowed through hie manipulations by the members of hl> family and close friends. Glazier's persons! loan is secured by two life insurance policies of $5Qy- a j j - j Q t 000 each. One is straight life and the other a 20-year endowment. The first, while Mr. Glazier Is alive, is valueless, and the other has a cash-vatae^-of but $3,250, as it has 17, years to run. All of which makes K appesr that the depositors of this bank would fate no better by the recovery of Mr. Ola*- ier. The loans, to Glazier's friends and family are secured by stove company stock, which has a problematical value. ,y% Therefore on the face,4of katngs tne people who are depositors in the bank, among whom are practically 9very business man and farmer !:• that vicinity, cannot expect to secure more than half of their money and the greater part of this intt for some time, as it will be months before the affairs can be entirely straightened out. Among the assets of the bank is, $15,000 deposited in the Chelsea bank, and there are also minor accounts which are tied up. In closing his statement to the depositors Mr. Dancer says: "This is my very best judgment at this a time in regard to all of these matters. I have no doubt but that time will show that I have been mistaken in many particulars** hut I feel that you would rather know what I think about it now even though my judgment may not prove to be correct In all the details." It is very likely that a dividend of 10 per cent will be declared at once. The statement of Mr. Dancer came as a distinct shock to the depositors in the village, as it had been confidently expected that the bank would pay almost dollar for dollar. The news has not yet percolated among the farmers to any great extent, but those who have come into town are angry at the way the bank was run. "We were rather surprised," said Dr. c. Brogan, president of the village, "as it was supposed the bank was in much better shape/But we must make the best of it. It all depends, apparently, on how things turn out' in Chelsea just what the bank win pay." "We have tried to be perfectly fair in estimating the resources of the bsnk," said Mr. Dancer. "Of course, things are In such shape that It wiU be a long time before just what will be realised will h° known. Mach depends on the outcome of the recttrei> ship of the Chelsea bank.

Row welcome he was, and how all, even Amsi, of those winter-bound prisoners vied with each other in making adm the gueet of honor, need not be asserted. He had been a part of their life here the previous summer, with ail tts Joys and dangers, and now seemed one of them. When mutual experiences and their winter's history had been exchanged, of course Chip's rescue, the half* bread's escape, and the whereabouts her rather came up for discussion evening. "I've heard from Tim's Place two or ree times this winter;" said Levi, an' neither Pete nor old McGuire has been seen or heard on since early last fall. Pete got thar all safe, but vowed revajste) on McGuire, as Martin and I n we went out. He stayed or so, I heard later, and for his cabin on the Fox since then hain't never been or heard of by nobody. Tim an' Mike went over to his cabin 'long in tha winter, out no signs of him was • found, or even of. bis bafn' thar since snow came. McGuire also seems to hev dropped out o* business and ain't been heard on since in tha summer. We're expected him all winter at the lumber camp, but he didn't show up."

Old Tomah not forget. He hope she come back to see him soon." "Tell Mr. Frlsbte I shall be here, waitin' to meet him, when he sends word," Levi said; and shaking hands with both of his good friends, Ray now bade them good-by with many thanks for all they had done. Of his homeward trip and all the charming anticipations now his, no mention need be made. They are but the flowers wisely strewn in the pathway of youth, and Ray—-now more a man than when he entered the woods •—full well deserved all that lay before him. But Old Tomah's heart was sad, and far away beside a rippled lake was another who felt the same. CHAPTER XVII. Chip's success and popularity in Greenvale was practically nullified by Hannaji, who from wounded vanity and petty jealousy became her enemy from tha outset Aunt Comfort did not know it. Angle was not conscious, of the facta or, busy with her own social duties ^ud home-making, gave them no thougat.

And it was true. By midwinter Martin's new house was all furnished, and social obligations began to interest Angle, which made matters all the worse for Chip, for now Hannah could persecute her with lese danger of- exposure. But Chip was hard to persecute. She hdd known adversity in its worst form. Her life at Tim's place had been practical-slavery, and the worst that Hannah could do waa as pin pricks compared to it. [ It is certain, also, if Chip had "spunked up," as Hannah would call ft, now and then, it would have been better for her; but it wasn't Chip's way. To work and suffer in silence had been her lot at Tim's Place. Angle had said, "You must obey everybody and make friends," and impelled by experience, and this somewhat broad order, Chip was doing her best. One hope cheered her all that long, hard winter of monotonous study—the return of Ray, and possibly Old Cy, when summer came.' Somehow these two had knit themselves into her life as no one else had or could. Then she wondered how Ray would seem to and feel toward her a hen he came, and If the little bond—a wondrous strong one, as far as her feelings went— would still call him to her side. It had all been a beacon of hope to her in the uphill road toward the temple of learning; and how haed aha had studied, and how" patiently she bad tried to correct her own speech, not even her teacher guessed. It is also possible, In fact almost certain, that that unfortunate waif's somewhat pitiful tale had won her teacher's interest and affection as naught else could. Only one reservation was made by Chip—her own feelings toward Ray. All else became an open book to Miss Phlnney. . When school was out, the two walked homeward together as far as their ways permitted, and then Chip obtained the one hour of the day which she felt was quite her own. At first, during the autumn days, she had used it for a scamper through the nutbrown woods. When winter came and it was not too cold, she occasionally visited the mill pond above the village, where, if the conditions were right all the skating and sliding youth were gathered; and when blessed spring returned, it was away to the hills and fields once more. On Saturdays she seldom left the house, unless sent on an errand, and Sunday became a day o( penance. And now, when the flowers and birds had once more returned to Greenvale, and Ray might return any day, a little plan that Chip had had in mind for many weeks took shape. She knew Ray must come on the stage, and eager for a sight of his face as only love can make one, she meant ta be the first to meet and greet him. A mile down the village street and beyond the last houaavaas a sharp hilltop. The Rtasja « H | ^ b a r . here about, aa fc*nTJj|iffi^9NraP^s? school, ' ^ a * . herself each! r meeting her ' well considered would, like herself, prefe t with Uncle Joe* That whose heart she had iration of his horses on h purely invite her tf he eaw*h*r. would remain aM with htm. she and tha aa With Ray Cain^ "»'_!_*. ..-/.4 < ' • * > ' * ! v .

During all the long weeks while Chip had awaited her lover's coming, one hope had been hers—that bis return would end all her loneliness and begin a season of tha happy, care-free days like those by the lake once more, Por the first few moments after U« kissed her upraised lips, she could not speak for very joy; and then, aa hand ia hand they started toward the village, her speech came. "I've been so lonesome," she said simply, "I've counted tha days, and come down here to meet you dairy, for over a month. I don't like it here, and nobody likes me, I guess. Pm so glad' you've come, though. Now I shan't be. lonesome no more. I've studied hard*, too," she added, with an accent of pride. "1 can read and spall words of six syllables. I've ciphered up to decimal fractions, an' begun grammar. "I'm glad to get home, too," an/fr swered Ray, as simply. "It waa lonesome In the woods all winter, when we couldn't tend the trans. But I've made a lot of money—'most five hundred dollars—all mine, too. How is everybody?" And so they dropped from sentiment into commonplace. At the tavern he secured his belongings. At the corner where their ways parted, he bade Chip a light good-by, and with an "I'll see you Boon," left her. Her hero had arrived. They had met, kissed as lovers should, and the lonely waiting and watching days were at an end and a new life was to begin for Chip. Little did she realize what It would mean for her, or how utterly her hopes were to fail. "He will come to-night," her heart assured her, and that evening, without JgaMinfj?* SWB> SBJB^BBXjg^p ue Revelry.

And what a propitious and all-favoring evening it was! The June night was balmy. Blooming lilacs and syringat half hid, as well as adorned, the porch of Aunt Comfort's home. Aunt Comfort had just departed to make a call, Hannah was away at prayer meeting, and "no one nigh to hinder." But Chip waited in vain! At school hextfday her mind and heart were at war. The parts of speech and rules of subtraction and division seemed complete chaos, and when homeward bound, she loitered slowly along, hoping Ray would make amends and meat her on the way. But again he failed to appear And that night, wham aloae with Hannah, a worse heow .oajgjd. v "I heerd young fltftMB apt hack yesterday," she said, txxag ear sssmly blue eyes on Chip, "an' ye* tree* txexast the road to meet him.

His aunt wouldn't think o' bavin' such ah outcast ez you for him—that I can tell ye." But not a word of reply came from poor Chip. Such speeches were not new to her, and she had long before ceased to answer them. But this one, from its very truth, hurt more than all others had, and, crushed by it, she stole away out of the house. No thought that Ray might call came to her. She only wished to escape somewhere, that she might cry away her misery and shame In solitude. The evening was but a repetition of the previous one.

Here is an extract from a fetter of Thomas Carlyle, in which ho asks his sister to make him .«erue shirts and sends the measurements. How many wemen could make a shirt after them? "My Dear Jenny—* * * In the meanwhile I want you to make me some flannel tilings, too—three flannel shirts especially. You cnrT got the flannel from^AIick if he has any that he can well recommend. You can readily have them made before the other shirts go off. I have taken the measure today and now send you the dimensions, together with a measuring strap which I bought some weeks ago (at one penny) for the purpose? You are to be careful to scour the flannel first, after which process the' dimensions are these: Width (when the shirt is laid on its back), 22½ Inches; extent from wrist button to wrist button, 61 inches; length in the back, 35 inches; length in the front, 25½ inches. Do you understand all that? I dare say you will make it out, and this measuring band will enable you to be exact enough." promise faithfully he would not allude in his sermon to himself, ids bride or the fact of the marriage. So he promised that in his sermon he would make no allusion of that kind whatever, but Mr. Caw nearly sank through the floor when the text was given out-Ephesiaus ill, 8.

Seated reading in hi6 private room the superintendent of a large prison ' beard a slight sound and, looking up, was confronted by a dangerous convict holding a long bar of iron. "DonU you move." ho muttered. "I'm going to get a way, even if I have to kill you!" "But," calmly rejoined the superintendent, "I thought it was tomorrow you were going." The man looked at him with stupid amazement. "Yes," said the official, "don't you know? A par don came for you today in consideration of your good conduct. You can go now, I suppose, if you want to. You'd like to see the papers. They're in here, 1 believe." He opened a drawer as he spoke, and the next instant the convict was facing the muzzle of a revolver. Made It Clear. "I beg your pardon, waiter," said a traveler in a railway restaurant, "did you say that I had twenty minutes to wait or that it was twenty minutes to 8?" "I said naythur." answered the at tendanr.

And now as the summer days aped by, and Chip helping Uncle Jud In the meadows or Atmt Handy about the house, and winning lore from both, saw a new realm open before her. There was In the Bitting room of this quaint home a tall bookcase, its «shelve* filled with a motley collection of books; works on science, astronomy,, geology, botany, and the like; books of travel and adventure; stories of strange countries-and people never heard of by Chip; and novels by Scott, Lever. Cooper, and Hardy. These last, especially Scott end Cooper, appealed - most to Chip, end bnee she began thenv every spare hoar, end often.<untll long past midnight, she became lost in this new world. "I know all about how folks live in the woods," she said one Sunday to , Uncle Jud, when half through "The Deerslayer." "1 was brought up there. I know how Injuns lire, and what they believe. I had an old Injun friend once. I've got the moccasins and fur cape he gave me now. His name was Tomah, 'n' he believed in queer thing* that sometimes creep an' sometimes run faster'n we can." It was her first reference to bet old life, but once begun, she never paused' until all her queer history had been related.

She saw Chip as she was, and soon felt an Interest in her and her peculiar history, of what was known of Jt. She also noted Chip's interest ia books, and guessing more than .she had been told, was not long in forming correct conclusions. "What do you Intend to do with this runaway girl?" she said one day to her sister, "keep her .here and let her grow up in ignorance, or what?" "Wal, we ain't thought much about that," responded Mandy, "at least not tmk oontect w*fc tefler*** as well as •W"Wfls^fiJseBe' ' rri»pi*w.' fHsWV '•WflPpy, • \fr ^ e^*»^sx HandT/^'and tnat moat be-confldered.

As she seemed ready to cry at this moment, Aunt Abby wisely dropped the subject then and there; in fact, she did not allude to It again in Chip's presence.,: But Aunt Abby carried her point with the others. Uncle Jud consented very reluctantly, Aunt Mandy also yielded after much more persuasion, and when Aunt Abby's visit terminated poor Chip's few belongings were packed in a new telescope case; she kissed Aunt Mandy, unable to speak, and this tearful parting was repeated at the station with Uncle Jud. When the train had vanished he wiped his eyes on his coat sleeves, climbed into his old carryall, and drove away disconsolate. "Curis, curis, how a gal like that 'un'll work her way into a man's feelin's," he said to himself. "It ain't been three months since I picked her up, 'n' now her goln' away seems like pullin' my heart out." 'Her Go In' Away 8eems Likt Pullin' My Heart Out." yet. She ain't got no relations to look arter her, so far es we kin lam. She's company for us, 'n' wlllin'. Uncle Jud sets lots of store by her. She is with him from morn till night, and handy at all sorts o' work. This is how 'tis with us here, an' now what do you aay?" For a moment Aunt Abby meditated. "You ought to do your duty by her," she said at last, "and she certainly needs more schooling.' "We can send her down to the Corners when school begins, if you think we orter," returned her sister, timidly; but we hate to lose her now. We've kinder took to her, you see," "I hardly think that will do," answered Aunt Abby, knowing as she did that the three R's comprised the full extent of an education at the Corners. "What ahe needs is a chance to mingle with more people than ahe can here, and learn the ways of the world, as well as books. Her mind is bright. I notice she is reading every chance ahe can get, and you know my ideas about education. For her to stay here, even with schooling at the Corners, is to let her grow up like a hoyden: Now what would yon think if I took her back to 'Christmas Cove? There is a better school there. She will meet and mingle with more people, and improve faster." "I dunno what JudsonH say," returned Aunt Mandy, somewhat aadly. "He's got so wonted to her, he'll be heart-broke, I'm afraid." And so the consultation closed. The matter did not end here for Aunt Abby, "sot in her way," as Uncle Jud had often said, yet in reality only advocating What she felt was best for the homeless waif, now began a persuasive campaign. She enlarged on Christmas Cove, its excellent school and capable master, ita soeial advantages and cultured people, who boasted a public Horary and debating eaelety, and eapeeialtr * • sw«mwr-%4r tractions; when 4 feW4os»* dty peo-1 3$2T Ray had pi saw. evfl*F Wg> and tha< CHAPTER XXil. Christmas Cove had entered its autumn lethargy when Aunt Abby Bemis and her new protege reached it» Capt. Bemis, who "never had no say 'bout nothin," but who had cooked his own meals uncomplainingly for three weeks, emerged white-dupted from the mill to greet the arrivals, and Chip was soon installed in a somewhat bare room overlooking the cove. Everything, seemed slightly chilly to her here. This room, with its four-posted bed, blue painted chairs, light blue shades, and dark blue straw matting, the leafless elms in front, the breeze that swept in from the sea, and even her reception, seemed cool. Her heart was not in it. Try as she would, she could not yet feel one spark of affection for this "book larned" Aunt Abby, who had already begun to reprove her for lapses of Bpeech. It was all so different from the home life she had just left; and as Chip had now begun to notice and feel trifles, the relations of the people seemed chilly as the room to which she was consigned. When Sunday came—a sunless one with leaden sky and cold wind bearing the ocean's moaning—Chip felt herself back at Greenvale with its Sundays, for now she was stared at the moment she entered the church. The singing was, of course, of the same solemn character, the minister's prayers even longer, and the preaching as incomprehensible as in Greenvale. With her advent at school Monday came something of the same trouble met at Greendale, for the master, a weazen, dried-up little old man, who wore a wig aid seemed to exude rules and discipline, lacked the kindly interest of Miss Phinny. Chip, almost a mature young lady, was aligned with girls and boys of 10 and 12, and once more the same shame and humiliation had be~ endured. It wore away in time, however, for she had made almost marvelous progress under Mies Painsey. Her mind was keen and quick, and once at study again, ahe astonished Mr. Bell, the master. Something of her old fearless selfreliance now came to her aid, also. It had made her dare 60 miles of wilderness alone and helpless, it had spurred her to escape Greenvale and her sense of being a dependent pauper, and now that latent force for good, or ill still nerved her. But Chrtatmaa Cove-did not suit her. The sen that drew her eyes with its vantnees seemed to awe her. The great hoeee,N brown and moascoated where ahe lived, waa barnlike, and never quite warm enough. . The long street she traversed four times daily waa bleak and wiad-ewept.

And then-and tbla hurt the moatthat last evening belpre they were to part again, when beside the flredy-lU mill pond he had the chance to aay ao- much and said—nothing! ' It was all a bittersweet memory, which she tried to pat away forever the night she left Greenvale. Oka wns. ,now Vera Raymond. No one could trace her; and yet, so at odd* were her will and her heart, there still lingered the faint hope that Ray would sometime and bomehow find her out. And so, studying faithfully, often lonesome, now and then longing for the bygone days with Ray and Old Cy, and always hoping that Bhe might some time return to Peaceful Valley, Chip passed the winter at Christmas Cove. Something of success came to her through it all. She reached and retained head positions in her claaaes. A word of praise came occasionally from Mr. Bell. Aunt Abby grew less austere and seemed to have a little pride in her. She became acquainted with other people and in touch with young folks, was invited to parties and sleigh-rides, The vernacular of Tim's Place left her, and even Sundays were less a torture, in fact, almost a pleasure, for then she saw most of the young people she mingled with,' and now and then exchanged a bit of gossip. Her own .dress became of more interest to her. Aunt Abby, fortunately for Chip, felt desirous that her ward should appear well, and Chip, thus educated and polished in village life, to a degree at least, fulfilled Aunt Abby's hopes. Another success- also came to hex. for handsome as she undeniably was, with her big, appealing eyes, her splendid black hair, and well-rounded form, the young men began to seek her. One became persistent, and when spring had unlocked the long, curved bay once more, Chip had become almost a leader in the little circle of young people. Her life with those who had taken her in charge also became more harmonious. In fact, something of affection began to leaven it, for the reason that never once had Aunt Abby questioned Cbip as to her past. Aunt Mandy and Uncle Jud had both cautioned her as to its unwisdom, and she was broad and charitable enough to let it remain a closed book until such time as Chip was willing to open it; and for thfs, more than all else that she received. Chip felt grateful. Beg ee* day it came out—or at leap A ••»*»•_ of H. "I suppose yow lauRs^ftmea w*a> dered where I waavhoaa, asst l ' ' parents were," Chip said, one Sunday afternoon, when she and Aunt Abby were alone, "and I want to thank you for never asking." And then, omitting much, she briefly outlined her history. (TO B E CONTINUED.) ~<-%* :¾¾ Joined the Dead at Their Meal. In the medical press is a story of a man who believed that he was dead and who for that reason refused to take any nourishment. "How can the dead eat and drink?** he asked, when food was pressed upon him. It was obvious that unless something were done to bring him to his senses the delusion must soon become actuality; he would die of starvation. .The strangest ruse was tried. Half a dosen attendants, draped in ghostly white, crept silently in single file into the room adjoining his. and, with the door open, sat down where he could see them to a hearty meal. "Here, who are these people?** inquired the patient. "Dead men," answered the doctor. "What!" said the other. "Do dead men eat?" "To be sure they do, as yon see for yourself," was the answer. "Well," said the corpse, "if that ia so, m join them, for I'm starving." The spell waa broken, and he sat down and ate like 40 famished men. Locket Again In Paver.

He remembered a pair of bright eyes beam* log upon him when he bad won the champion cup for single sculls. They and the smile that accompanied them were then no more to him than a passing whiff of violets. Now, as he entered his lonely room, he remembered that the.girl he bad failed to claim was the wife, and mother of children, of the man he had beaten in the race. He had won the cup, which he had so dearly prized, leaving for his antagonist tbe girl, whom he had considered merely one of a million. . Now the cup was In a vault with other trinkets; the girl was the light of a household. He remembered another whom he bad played with In a double game of tennis, an execrable player, but a soft voiced beauty; how he had saved the game by bis skill and activity; how she had received the prize—a silver mounted racket—from his hands, with blushes that told him she would have gladly taken him Instead. These and others with whom he had feared to become entangled contributed their part in that deep drawn sigh, so unintelligible to Lydia Nutter. He was no longer the companion of young people He had passed the mating period nud had not mated. "What troubled you last night, Mr Mulholland, as you weut into your room?" asked. Lydia the next mornlug as the bachelor went out to get his lonely breakfast. "I troubled? What do you mean?" "You drew such a sad sigh."

"When you feel that way again, come down aud we'll try to comfort you." said Lydia. There was a wistful look in his even as he closed the door. That night he sat in the reading room of his club pretending to read the newspapers, while he was watching the clock. He wished to go to the, house where he roomed, but he would go neither too late nor too early—not after Lydia had gone to bed. not so early that he would seem to have come to he with her, for that was his Intention. He chose half past 9 as the hour most likely .to conceal It and, aft* er two hours' watching ttfe clock, left the club. Lydia was in the sitting room with her mother, the mother reading, Lydia at some fancy work. "I'm In rather early tonight," he said to Lydia. "There was nothing doing at the club. I've brought some playing cards. Would you mind a game?" Again the smile that greeted him reminded him of the face that had beamed upon him when he had been an athletic victor. Then it had been accompanied by the flush of victory, the plaudits of thousands. Now it was bestowed upon-a lonely soul huugerlug for sympathy.

New.Pattern for Each Garment la Not Neeeaaery — One Piece Gown Easy to Copy—Experiment on Old Cloth. The variety of materials and designs for wrappers, negligees, house dresses, sacques, and little combing Jackets Is well nigh endless. Houses and apartments are so well heated now that the actual warmth of a garment for wear indoors is not so often considered as it was once on a time. Whether a wrapper is to be llaajl or not Is usually a matter of personal a percaUn purpose expensive, J> <I«IHI **<« - ••—^ «!•'• •• ~~i « v r-i* uu a pattern hag to be W i g h i \o b » y ^ * * >F oae^f IL4?Tate wrapper and with the|lh* aid of this pattern it should be possible to copy almost any hind of a one piece gown. It is much better to learn to dp this than to feel obliged to buy a new pattern for every garment made. And if one feels timid about trying an experiment on new cloth, it will be Urns well spent to use some old cloth or tissue paper and get the idea right with that. It gives one a feeling of satisfaction to be able to copy the pretty clothes so often seen, either on people, In the stores, or In magaslne or papers: In using a plain or any other kind of a pattern one most Important point must be borne tn mind. When a section of the wrapper Is laid on the material (if the pattern has been well cut) the lower edge of the armhole and the bottom and front edge of the sklvt part will both touch the selvage edge, it the skirt part at the bottom extends beyond the straight edge of the goods do not let it, but draw a new line from the hip to the bottom, making the bottom touch the selvage. This applies to the front at the underarm, the underarm piece, and the side pieces on their front edges. The reason is gores will hang towards the front Instead of towards the back as they should, if this is not done. If the gores are not ^Ide enough across the bottom add the necessary width to the back edges. One pretty wrapper is shown which could answer the purpose of a tea gown. It" would be lovely made of a Japanese crepe In warn, rich reds, with the front of plain red mousseline or soft silk. A sort of doublo ruffle finishes the neck, put on in such a manner as to form a little bolero. This wrapper could be entirely made of the crepe, excepting the ruffles. HOW TO GBT PINK CHEEK8.

Staying Much in the Open Air \i the Best Recipe. ' Red cheeks are at the command of every woman, but few understand this. Few women are naturally pale. We sometimes redden the cheeks by quick methods which bring results that are most satisfactory. We slap the cheeks vigorously, three or four spats with the palm of the hand, *&d the cheeks will glow for a long time. We advise early rising whenever possible because there is a nlpjting eagerness adwrf the early morning sir which acts like a brisk rubbing, the face. It bites and makes cheeks glow pink. A good walk in a sharp air will polish the cheekB Into redness as though one had rubbed them with a rough cloth and pinched them with the fingers. Food has a great deal to do with red cheeks. Foods that are highly spiced and stimulating will make a woman pale. Foods that manufacture blood will make a woman red in the face, but she must be careful not to partake too freely of them. Staying out in the open air, if ono Is in good health, Will give a woman red cheeks. It ^reddejui the cheeks of a child and it will redden the cheeks of a woman. Outdoor air; open-air sleeping and walking in the wind will make the cheeks red. COAT FOR THE EVENING. Three-Quarter White Cloth Garment in Ermine and Braid.

Several doctors have taken their leave with a bleaslns to those around them. Aatiey Cooper's last recorded words are: "God bless you and goodby to you all!" He had previously said to bis physicians, Bright and Chambers: "God's will be done; God bless you both!"~addtog: "You must excuse me, but I shall take no more medicine/' Benjamin Brodie was heard to mutter: "After all, God is very good." The saddest of all recorded last words are probably those of Oliver Goldsmith, who, when asked by his physician if his mind was at rest, said: "No, it is not!" On the other band; William Hunter's mind seems to have been lull of bright thoughts at the moment of death, for he said: "If I could hold a pen, what a book I could write I" Pasteur and Darwin, though not belonging to the medical profession, are venerated by itSv. teachers. Darwin's last words were: "I am not the least afraid to die." Pasteur was offered a cup of milk, and, being unable to swallow'ft; murmured: "Ixannot." He passed away with one hand in his wife's, the other grasping a crucifix. Lastly are mentioned the last words of Mirabeau, which are said to have been addressed to a doctor. He wrote on a slip of paper which he gave to his physician, the philosopher Cabanis, the single word "DormJr." Another account, which may be an expanded version of this, is that, after begging for an anodyne, he said reproachfully to the doctor: "Were you not my physician and my friend? Did you not promise to spare me the suffering of such a death? Must I go carrying away regrets of having confided in you?" This is rather a long and rhetorical speech for a dying man. It is given to few men of any profession to accumulate such large fortunes as the late Lord Brampton and Mr. Murphy, K. C, have left behind them—fortunes amounting to £141,- 000 and £234,000 respectively; but to say, as stated by a contemporary, that such an achievement .is only possible In iha law is scarcely in accordtdete W^BMBeSl %#g<^P •Se^^SjgJSJggfrlw..

During the laat two years of the rebellion his vessels were almost openly fitted out to carry anna and other sutfpllee, but if the United States cutters chased them off the coast they did not overhaul them at sea. The government Inspectors at the New England arsenals knew where the arms went to, no matter what the markB ou the boxes, but they winked at each.other and saw gjpthing. According to Lopez, 25,000 patriots were ready to rally as soon as supplied with arms. A large sum of money was collected and spent for muskets, revolvers,-cartridges and machine guns. Then .there were blankets, rations and other things needed by the soldiers. A steamer was chartered and thirty Americans enlisted. Spanish spies in New Tork reported the purchases to Uncle Sam. He replied that he would attend to the matter and did nothing. The same spies reported the ateamer. She was not even looked over by the revenue officers. To be sure she waa chased down the coast by a revenue cutter that belched barrels and barrels of black smoke, but when the filibuster was at last overhauled It was to ask If the captain hadn't forgotten his nightshirt on leaving New York. ' Lopes was aboard. He had been indefatigable. He had been at Washington. He had directed all while Bleeping- in a garret and living on one meal a day. A patriot on a pedestal! An object lesson to the world! The steamer waa to touch at a certain point on Uie coast. Word bad gone on ahead and a thousand Cubans would be at hand to swiftly unload her. False alarms would be given and the Spanish gunboats called away from the spot. No precaution had been neglected. Nothing had been left to chance. When once the steamer got headed for the spot she slowed down at half speed. She was to reach the landing under cover of darkness. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon nothing was in sight from her bridge. At 5 o'clock n heavy fog settled down. This was all the better for ihe success of the expedition. Five hours' slow "run wonid^ take Jhem to the bay selected, and bonfires ai&Norcbes would illuminate the discbarge of the cargo. The fog had not lifted at 6 o'clock nor at 7. At 8 one could last make out the form of a man seven er eight feet away. The captahv was a prudent, man. All lights were extinguished and all noises hushed. With the screw softly turning, the filibuster borebrber way. Into the fog like some blacker shadow. The captam, Lopez and half a dosen others formed, a-group by themselves and spoke in whispers. AH were exultant They were certain to gat in safely. Of * sudden the Chunk, tbunav ami*. of a propeller waa hear* from straJsjst It could not lie mistaken for o W n o i s v thea came the eame off the pert how.

The 9ftt stepped o&Vou iBV fence and waited there till the atner went by. My friend thought this act showed an appreciation of the problem, beyond the reach of instinct No doubt those cats had met before, and one was master of the other. What more natural than that the defeated cat should retreat before the superior and when it came to the .other fence step off upon It and let the victor pass? The action involved no mental process any more than when two inert bodies in motion meet each other and one gives way. There was no other course open to the c a t If she or be had turned back and taken t o the side fence solely to accommodate the other cat why, that were another matter. The Gordon setter that met a tratu of cars upon a railroad bridge and stepped down upon one of the timbers ef the bridge and stood there while the train passed gave_.no proof of reasoning powers. It was the only thing the dog could do. Nearly ail animals know enough to get out the way of danger. If they did not, what would become of the race of animals?—John Burroughs in Outing Magazine. --485¾¾. sr Old Roman Laws. The old Roman laws, according to Colquhoun, conferred on the husband complete empery over the wife. All she owned or earned was vested in him, and he acquired the same rights over her person and property as if stje were his natural daughter. The wife, on the other hand, acquired nil the rights to a child and to her husband's name and succession in the event of an intestate estate, and she could exercise all the privileges to whicb her sex admitted. The power of the ancient Roman father over his offspring was originally perpetual, nor could the child be emancipated from the father's control during the father's life except by that parent's consent nor did he become sul Juris until the father (being himself sui juris) died, when the son was emancipated by the simple operation of the law. In those brave days the father had legal permission to scourge his children or to send them, fettered like slaves, to work on his estate or even to kill them, choosing whatsoever means for their taking off he thought proper.

In its area of 24,780 square miles, «aya the Independent, there is more natural wealth than is perhaps crowded into the same space in any other portion of the world. In coal her supply Is almost inexhaustible, and the value is almost incalculable. She, in this one product of nature alone, is one and one-half times larger than the entire area of the coal fleldsof Great Britain. The value of her coal, It is estimated, is greater than the value of all the gold and silver of the Pacific coast. Over 17,000 square miles of her territory is underlaid with this mineral. Hut this gives a very faint idea to the general mind of the immensity of this deposit. To say that there are over 10,000,000 acres of West Virginia in coal land gives but a littia better idea. When it is stated, however, that the coal of this state could furnish the entire world usth its fuel for centuries some laV1** gained.

The leading Toklo dailies during the week have all been,studying the cauae of the remarkable change in the attitude of the western people toward Japan. The Kokumlu. a government organ, has the latest and most outspoken comments; It says: "In view of the steady change in the world's opinion of Japan, the Kokumla njuat remiud its countrymen that, despite recent ententes, Japan is meeting with obstacles in all directions, owing to the fact that the government and people are still intoxicated with the glory of the recent war and empty flattery. The l>eople should awake to their sober senses, and the government should exercise more prudence in its dealings with the powers." This early recognition of weakness undoubtedly is largely attributable to Prince Ito, who is known to be exerting his great influence to secure sounder financial policies iu opposition to the military party which has hitherto controlled them. whose commerce we are aptkteff. 4#*; refer to (he people of Asia aa the yellow race.

Aa far aa he can, Secretary Jaft has committed the American government to promise to withdraw completely from Cuba in the beginning of spring In 1909. This pledge 1a contained in a letter from the war secretary to the president transmitting; the report of Gov. Magoon for the past year. After declaring that the report from the governor shows the conditions 1n Cuba to be encouraging, Secretary Taft says: "It was hoped .by some that the census might be comj ber last. I did nofc not at all surprii census has not and probably wii] or May. "This will postpone the local elections until June, the presidental election until December, and the installation of the president and congress and the turning over of the island untu about March or April. 1909. "This Is in compliance with our promise when we assumed temporary control of Cuba, and it seems to me that we ought to allow nothing to interfere with carrying out that promise. "There are important interests that would be glad to delay our stay there for years, but good faith and good policy, both, in my Judgment, require us to leave at the time appointed."

That the Panama canal may cost (he government $500,000,000 was the statement of Col. George W. Goethals, chairman of the isthmian canal commission, at a hearing before the senate committee on lnteroceanic canals. The admission was brought out in response to questions from the chairman of the committee. Senator Kittredge, of South Dakota. Col. Goethals had said previously that any estimate as to the cost of the canal was BUOHS work. "Are you prepared to say that the canal will not cost more than $250,- 000,000?" inquired Senator Ktttredge. "No, I am not," was the reply. "1 believe it will cost all of that." 'Are you prepared to say that it will not cost over $300,000,00?" "No, as I said before, It Is impossible at this time to say just what Ihe cost will be." was the reply to the chairman. "Would you be willing to say that the cost will not be above $f>00,- 000,000?" persisted Senator KUtredge.

Iu spite of the statements in administration circles that no decision was to be made as to the return route of the Pacific fleet unOl it reached the Pacific coast, it has become known that the itinerary of the fleet after its departure from San Francisco contemplates a run across the Pacific to Manila bay and a return trip to the Atlantic coast of the United States. This has hitherto been reported, but not from administration circles. What appears "to be a confirmation of the foregoing fact came out Saturday in view of the necessity of the administration in asking for an additional and larger navy department approprltion for coal, the appropriation having boon exhausted on account of the heavy expenditures already incurred. Because of this it is necessary for the administration to confide in congressional leaders that the route for the return bad already been determined upon and preparations under, way for carrying out the program, Wldtn the Canal.

Old Cy started alone, one morning, t o visit t h i s lake again. It took h i m until mtdday t o carry h i s canoe, c a m p outfit, rifle, and all across from t h e stream to stream, and twilight had come ere h e reached the lagoon w h e r e h e and R a y had5 ^ e f t i h e m a i n stream and camped. U S here Old Cy n o w turned h i s c a n o e , add re-*f pairing t h e bark shack they bad built, w h i c h had been crushed by winter's snow, h e camped there again. N e x t morning, bright and early, he launched his canoe and o n c e more followed t h e winding s t r e a m through the dark gorge and out into t h e rippled lake again. H e r e h e halted and looked about. N o signs of aught human could be seen. T h e long, narrow lakelet sparkled beneath t h e morning sun. T h e bald mountain frowned upon it. the jagged ledges just across faced blm like serried ramparts, an eagle slowly circled overhead, and, best indication of primal solitude, an antlered deer stood loktng at him (rom out an opening above the ledges. "Guess I'm ulone h e r e ! " exclaimed Old Cy, glancing around; "but if this ain't a pictur worth vememberin', I never s a w one, Wish 1 could take it with me Into t'other world; an' If I w a s sure o' fiindin' a spot like it thar, I'd n e v e r worry 'bout goin' when my time comes." After a long wait, a s if h e wanted to o b s e r v e every detail of this wondrous picture of wildwood beauty, h e dipped his paddle, crossed the s h e e t of rippled water, and stepped ashore at the very spot where h e and Ray had landed over eight m o n t h s before. "Great S c o t t ! " h e exclaimed, glancing around, "If that ain't a canoe, bottom u p ! T w o , by g i n g e r ! " h e added, a s h e saw another drawn out and half hid by A low ledge. T o this second o n e h e hastened at o n c e and l o o k e d l n t o it. It had evidently rested there all winter, for It w a s partially filled with water, and half afloat in it w e r e t w o paddles and a setting pole. A gunny-cloth bag, evidently containing the usual coking outfit of a w o o d s m a n , lay soaking In o n e end, a frying-pan and an ax w e r e rusting in t h e other, and a coating of mould had browned each crossbar and thwart. "Been here quite a spell, all winter. I guess," muttered Old Cy, looking it over, and then h e advanced to the other canoe. That w a s , a s h e asserted, bottom up, and also lay half hid back of a jutting ledge of slate. T w o paddles leaned against this ledge, and near by w a s another setting pole. All three of t h e s e familiar objects w e r e brown with damp mould and evidently had rested there m a n y m o n t h s . "Curis. curis," muttered Old Cy again. "I callated I'd find nothln' here, 'n' here'B t w o c a n o e s left to rot, *n' been here all winter." Then with a vague s e n s e ot need, h e returned t o h i s canoe, s e i s e d his rifle, looked all around, over t h e lake, up into the green tangle a b o v e t h e ledges, and finally followed t h e narrow pass a g e leading to w h e r e h e had once w a t c h e d s m o k e arise.

Surely here, or hereabouts, had been enacted a drama of murderous nature4, and inside this cavern might repose its blood-stained sequel. But the filtering beams of light encouraged Old Cy, and he entered. No ghastly corpse confronted him, but instead a human, if cramped, abode. A fireplace deftlw fashioned of slate occupied o n e side of this c a v e ; in front w h o h a s ft j a c k s o n enratael a low table of the s a m e flat stone, rest- wanted In Ann Arbor for beiug^i ing upon small o n e s ; and upon the cated in a burglary at the table were rusty tin dishes, n few Mrs. McGraw, about a year mouldy hardtack, a knife, fork, and a student boarder w a s at scraps of meat, exhaling the odor oU t r >'lng t o cover him with a decay.

There were two philanthropists, according to the tale, one a professional and the other an amateur. The professional bad arranged to take the amateur to a gathering of slum dwellers In the east end of Loudon. At the appointed hour the amateur, who happens to be a duchess and I great beauty, uppeared at the house ox her friend, u dazzling apparition in court dress, tiara and Jewels. "Oh, my dear," gasped the professional, falling helplessly into the nearest chair, "don't you know that we are going to one of the lowest and most squalid slums? I can't promise that you will bring any of that back with you." But the beauty only laughed. "That's all right," she said. "I quite understand you. But poor people love beautiful things. Their children especially are captivated with fine dresses and feathers. Just wait aud you will see!" And the professional did see. Those poor, half starved, half naked slum dwellers had eyes for no one but the dazzling young beauty who had ?^oue them the infinite bouor of coming o see them in her most beautiful frock and Jewels. * . » • **?:• •T» if ' * * ' • ',"IH III1 " M l mrnmmm^mmftm After the Honeymoon.

[Orlvinal.l Don Rafael Alvarado, a wealthy clt- Isen of Mexico, claimed descent from that Alvarado who made tbe famous leap ucroaa tlu break in the-cauaeway when CorteVa army retreated from the rupltol. Don Rafael's uiiceatora had ucqulred a I urge tract of laud Iu ancient Tlascala. oue of the Mexican provluces, uud one of them ut one time owned u gold mine. In Don Rafael's youth the family weultn had been very great, aud wealth aud ancestry are the father and mother of pride. The young man wus brought up to consider no one In Mexico bis equal, that Mexico was made especially for the Alvarados and that an Alvarado could uot accept a favor or withhold one. Don Unfael lived on his hacienda, a large estate that remained from the original grant of the king of Spuiu. From bis wails the portraits or his ancestors looked down on him. all seeming to say the same words, "Ueinembcr that you are an Alvarudo." Covering one end of the banquet room was a painting of tbe original Alvarado making the wonderful leap. Don Rafael upon bis uccesslou to the property began to outdo any of bis progenitors in splendor of living and hospitality. H e had a sister, Dona Isabel, who was an especially attractive feature in his home. She attempted to check her brother iu his extravagance, pointing out to him that those he was entertaining were bleeding him and a f the rate he was proceeding he would soon have nothing left. But her warning was of no avail. Some of the guests taught their host gambling games, others borrowed money. Both methods were employed to Impoverish him. Gradually his bank accouut melted away, bis revenues became mortgaged, and at last ruin stared him in the face. About this time came a very different sort of guest from the others. George Wallace, a young American of considerable means and a graduate o' a school of mining engineering. He had gone to Mexico to examine a mine for some New York capitalists, with a view to keeping a lookout for other inlues in which to make investments himself. He found a trensure of another kind, Dona Isabel, and straightway proceeded to fall in love with her. His love was returned, and Don Rafael, though he considered no one either in Mexico or the United States good enough to marry his sister, consented to the match. Something troubled the girl, which did not escape the attention of her lover, lie pressed her for it, and she at last confessed that her brother was financially in a desperate condition. After having tied up Ills resources he had mortgaged bis hacienda, and the mortgage was about to be foreclosed. Wallace, actuated by love and natural noble impulses, went straight to Don Rafael, told him that he had that day received a large remittance from New York which he had drawn in gold and had upstairs in his room. The amount was sufficient to lift the mortgage, and Wallace offered to loan it to his host without security. The only condition he made was that Don Rafael should thereafter listen to the advice of his sister, dismiss the vampires who were preying upon him and endeavor to straighten his affairs. Wallace did not doubt that the man he had offered to help would thank fully accede to his terms. He was disappointed. Don Rafael showed a thorough appreciation of the kindly interest that prompted the offer, but pride, the trait t h a t dominated the Alvarados, prevented his accepting the loan. "I owe you a world of thanks," he said, "but an Alvarado cannot accepl a favor. What wTould these, my nnces tors, think of me if I should accepl money from my sister's lover?"

Throwing h e r self on the body of her lover, she cursed her brother as a murderer an* a thief. Alvarado fled, thinking t h a t he bad killed his guest and his sister's lover. Wallace recovered, and both be and Dona Isabel, whom he afterward married, tried to find him. but In vain. Alvarado turned bandit and under another name became the terror of Mexico Finally h e was killed, and his body was brought to his hacienda. Then for the first time his sister knew that tbe man she had often heard of as an outlaw w a s her brother. Probably there is not another such example of family pride. G R A C E ADA H O W E .

It Is many a. day since he «at iu a two-pound saddle and felt the mighty sinews of a tfttyned thoroughbred under him, or knew the fierce rush and strain of a hard-fought race. Hut I remember him the beau Ideal :»f a medium-weight horseman, active *nd fearless; and whenever I find myi t e l t in the village where he is ending $fff»'s race 1 stop for a, chat, and to listen to his memories of the brave lays of long ago.

"Ay, sir, eight-thirteen as I am." he says in answer to my usutl question— for he still clings to the old, daily habit of going to scale, and it would disappoint him were 1 to forget it. 'Hut I'm gettin' a bit suspicious of t h e scales over at the mill. It's worryln' io think that, perhaps, they're a few unices out. And to be weighed like a sack t o f flour, too! Times have •hanged!" . 1 , watch his eyes go sadly to t h e :orner whete his six-ounce riding ooots—very old, but newly polished— stand with the trees in them; then to the worn racing saddle on its bracket, :ind the double-reined snaffle bridle that hangs below it. The leather is flossy with soft soap, the stirrupirons and bit as bright as new silver. The gear wouldn't be safe to ride in after 20 years of disuse, but that never . occurs to the old jockey. They get their weekly attention in readiness for (he mount that will never come. The weather, too!" he goes on. Here's the first July meeting comin' >n and I'm covered up in flannels as if I was going for a sweat up the Limekilns! Seems strange to be sittln' over the fire at mid summer aud isbadin' of a cold Ascot, don't it, sir?" "A strange Ascot altogether, Tom," I agree. He purses his thin lips severely. "Ah, sir, you may wo 11 say that when J lie gold cup's Ionic from under the very eyes of the j'.olier and the stewards. Such a thing couldn't have hap pen«d in my time. The gold cup!" he <asps.

As for get tin' the last ounce out if an animal at the finish, how's it possible to hold him together, to feel his heart beatln' through the saddle ilaps, to nurse him and push him when you can't. g*»t your legs down to grip and squeeze until you and the horse wo. part of one another?" The American seat is the old jock- •y's pet aversion. "Bumpin' and borin", this White Knight and the French horse? Of vourse they were—both of 'em," he proceeds. "What else can you expect when their jockeys are crnuchin' over their horses' ears without any purchase on the reins? What's to prevent'-' one of 'em savaging the other when there's nothin' controllin' his mouth?" In his day he has b.^en at grips wjih )!d John Osborne, »nd distance, ami he Challoners. Tie h a s fought a dlng- :lung finish against the redoubtable Tom Cannon, laid ncck-to-aeck with ;he "Tinman," and if anyone should know the whole art of riding It. is he. "That's what stops 'em. I get tnnt riled, sir, when I read about, horses bein' pulled. I can't tell you! Who wants to pull a horse when the easiest way to make him lose is to ride him with a slack rein? .lust think for a moment. The breed's always improvin", and yet, times are no faster than !hey were in my day. And why? Hoause It's the horses who do the racin' I m'. ^. iiy themselves.

"Then all he had to do was to sit still and let the other chap shove him along! You see, the other chap couldn't help himself. He was on the j nearside rails and daren't edge closer | to get clear. All he could do was to j shorten his whip and flog the leg that j He Rises from the Chair by the Fire. lay tight alongside his own in the hope of shiftin' ir. And 1 must say he tried, too! When they passed the post, with a short head between them, the winner's breeches was cut to ribbons and covered with blood!" ''Of course he was disqualified?" I suggest. "With a leg like thai? Not much, sir! The other chap didn't dare say a word—tili afterwards. And what's said in the jockeys' dresslu' room ain't generally meant for publication!" "Hul what about, the stewards? Didn't they want an explantion?" "Oh, r«§, T h e stewards aj And they got one. The w tljpni not to be too hard on' chap who was second, beca hadn't time to change his whi aud the other c h a p said that was ao, and how sorry he w a s ! " "What is said in the jockeys' dressing room won't, of course, always bear repeating?" I observe with a smile. The old jockey looks thoughtfully Into the fire. " I t s a long whjle ago, and, besides, I wasn't in it, so 1 don't see why I shouldn't tell youV' h e says presently. "You know the jockeys' room in the corner of the paddock at Newmarket? Well, it was a t one of the second. October meetings, AJid a trainer—his name don't signtty-Mnust have overheard somethln' he wasn't intended to, and at t h e bottom of the steps he met an owner who asked him if he knew anythin' for the next race. 'Yes, sir,' he says, 'I've just heard the jockeys up there arrungin' what's to wiu, if that's knowin' anythin'!' The owner looks a bit surprised. 'Of course you're goiu' to tell the stewards?' he says. 'No, sir, I'm goln' to back It," says (lie trainer. And he did!" • "And the owner? It would be inter- | estiug to know what (ho owner did," 1 venture. "Oh. I daresay he had a horse of his own in the race and thought it couldn't lose. They've wonderful confidence, some of them. J remember once I was ridln' for one of that sort. There wore only two runners; all the others had scratched. Coin' up to the post, my gentleman—he hadn't been at the game long—did nothin' but explain what a cert I was on, how to ride him, and how far to win. Well, j 1 was beaten in the first quarter of a mile—left staiidln' still; and do what j I could, I was 50 yards behind when the other horse passed the box. When I got to the weigh in' room, there was my owner waitin' for me with a face like thunder. "What the prayers and blessin's do you mean by losln' all that way?' he asks. 'Mean?' I says. "Why, your horse couldn't gallop for thinkiu' of the instructions he heard you givin' me. I had to ride him like blazes to get last!' " He looks up with a pathetic little smile. "I'm last now—left standin' still, myself!" he murmurs shakily. I reassure him. Yet, soon, I know, the welghingout bell will ring in his ears for the last time, and then may the old jockey get off well as the flag falls and "finish" in style! Trees in Cape Verde Islands.

The woj&utn who relates it bad accompanied her huttband to Jflrwpui-, iudia, Bay* the Kansas City Star. He had been seat there to undertake the duties of an agent who had gone home on aick leave. The only accommodation they could find when they arrived was an inspection bungalow. They retii-ed about ten o'clock, but Mrs. 8. remained awake for some time reading a novel by the light of a lamp. She was just thinking of turning it out when suddenly a man holding a revolver appeared in the room, she says: "Before I could move or speak he said: 'Don't stop me; I am going to shoot myself.' As he put the revolver to his head I shut my eyes and was nearly deafened by the report that followed. My husband jumped up, wide awake at once, with a cry of 'Who fired ?' and I opened my eyes expecting to Bee a ghastly heap on the floor. "To my amazement the room was empty and there was no sign of the tragedy that had jfust taken place In front of a e . : My husband said he had been awakened out of a sound sleep by the noise of the shot and when I told him what 1 had seen we searched the house together. Neither the punkah coolie, who was sleeping in the veranda, uor the servants, whose houses were close by in the compound, had heard anything. Kven the dogs chained in the veranda had not been disturbed. It all happened so suddenly that 1 had no feeling of fright or terror. The man seemed to come from the direction of my h u s b a n d s office, where there was a door connecting with the bedroom, in front of which wo had placed a heavy wardrobe. He was a shortish, unpleasant-looking man and he held the revolver in his left hand. Neither my husband nor 1 were at all nervous people and when we could And nothing to explain what had occurred we decided that it 'must have been imagination and that our being in strong sympathy with each other had caused UH to share the Name hallucination.'' Now for the sequel. Shortly afterward Mrs. S. accompanied her husband on a tour of the district. Among the hills they met a Mme. de Hevery, who had been a widow for several years. In the course of a conversation with her Mrs. S. discovered that at one time she had live/d in the bungalow at Tirzapur where the spectral suicide,hud manifested 11 self. "On hearing that Hhe knew our bungalow and had actually lived in it," Mrs. 8. adds, I was impelled to relate our strange experience there, which hitherto my husband and I had kept to ourselves. She listened without comment, but when 1 ended my narrative by saying that we had come to the conclusion it must have been either Indigestion or imagination she turned very pale and said. You have related something that really hap pened; my husband shot himself there before my eyes exactly as you hav," described.' "I was terribly distressed at having, all unwittingly, reminded her of such a" painful episode, but she reassured me by saying: i t is many years ap;o and T can talk about it now. though i was ill for months afterward from the shock.' :'She then told me that her husband had gone into the bedroom through the door which we kept closed and had used the very words 1 quoted and the whole affair coincided exactly with what I had seen, down to the smallest detail." . Love's Service. The highest service of love is not to console but to inspire, not to comfort but to stimulate. He loves best who demands and secures the highest from the loved one. The mother-loves her child most divinely, not when she surrounds him with comfort and anticipates his wants, but when she resolutely holds him to the highest standards and is content with nothing less than his best. The immortality of love shines in a home, not when blindness shuts the eyes of the mother and wife, but. when the clear-sightedness of her *!k ^ • i w J**< ~ * t t f f f t f KIDNEYS.

For several weeks, little Halph had enjoyed tae use of a Shetland pony, the property of a horse dealer who was u friend of the family. But much to Ralph's sorrow, there came a day recently when the i>ony was sold, and the delightful horseback rides came to a sudden end. The purchaser, as Ralph found out by inquiry, was a little girl of about his own mature age of five. Ever since his acquaintance with the pony began, Ralph had included him in his bedtime prayer, and "God bless the pony," was an earnest nightly petition. The first evening after the sale of the pony, Ralph hesitated when he reached his pet's place in the prayer. Then, after a moment's thought, he continued: "Please, God. bless the pony just the same; but, Cod, don't you bless the little girl what's got the pony." A RESOLUTION TO BE KEPT.

The way some persons cling to coffee even after they know it is doing them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an easy matter to give it up for good, when Postum Food Coffee is properly made and used instead. A girl writes: "Mother had been suffering with nervous headaches for seven weary years, but kept drinking coffee. "One day 1 asked her why she did not give up coffee as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. Rut, Mother was such a slave to coffee she thought, it would be terrible to give It up. '•Finally, one day, she. made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning while she was drinking Postum so freely and with such relish I asked for a taste. "That started me on Posnim and 1 now drink it more freely than I did coffee, which never comes into our house now. „ "A girl friend of mine, one day. saw love reveals itself in the greatness of j m e drinking Postum am! asked if it her demands and expectations.

One morning a mun was brought I* fore me on a charge of attempted murder. He was a trim built fellow of twenty-five, of refined appearance, and what surprised me beyond measure was that his hair was white as snow. There were three witnesses agnlnst him—a miner, Tom Mason, and his- two assistants, Pete Galloway and Steve Fucker. Mason was a pitiful sight to behold. His left arm was in a sliug. His right leg, In a splint, waa supported by a crutch. A bandage covered an eye. Whatever of his face was, not covered with patches was of many hues. The condition of his two assist ants was not much better. The prisoner gave bis name as Albert Parkinson. After heariug a statement from his accusers I called upon him for his story. "Judge." he said, "Fiu a mining en glneer. I spent four years at college lu the scientific department, then went to Germany to study my profession. Prom there I returned last month and came out here to get some practical experieuce. This man Mnson accepted an offer from me to work iu the shaft where he Is drilling and blasting without pay, and the day before yesterday I went down with him, watched him drill, put in his charge of dynamite and Mght the fuse. Then we were hauled up iu the bucket by these two men, got as far from the hole as possible •nd Waited for the explosion. "After learning the process of setting the blast yesterday I offered to set and fire it myself. Mason consented, and when the hole was drilled he came up. gave me the charge, and I went down in the bucket. As soon as I had lighted the fuse I called out to be drawn up. The windlass creaked, and I felt myself rising. When 1 was hauled halfway something above seemed to be caught, and everything stood stock still. Mason called down In a fright ened voice that the windlass had bro ken, and he must go some distance to get a man to come and repair it. I called to him to pull me up by hand, but there was no response. I could hear him and one of his men discussing j in loud voices what it was l>est to do. "There I was, midway between the surface and the bottom, with the fuse sputtering below. I started to climb up hand over hand, but one of the men who had l>cen left l>ehind let me down as fast as I ell in tied up. .1 got back to the bucket exhausted and concluded to drop and put out the fuse. The man looking from above drew me up far enough to make my drop certain death. I looked over at the fuse and saw that it was within an inch of the charge. I shut my eyes and waited to l>e blown into the air. "I fainted, and when I came to was lying on the ground beside the windlass. Mason and Ids two men were standing over me laughing. " 'You fool tenderfoot,' he said, 'there warn't no charge in the shell. I tuk it out and put in dirt.' "I saw It all—a huge joke to Initiate a beginner into the mysteries of mining.

From T h e Far West. Coburg, Oregon. Jan. 15, 1908. Dear Mr. Andrews, Do I owe any thing on the Dispatch for subscription aad how much? I have been located here in Cobarg a little over a year now. I am selling lumber lor the Booth Kelly Company and getting along nicely, although times are a little close at present, but we hope they may be better in a tew months, cr after the Railroad Rate question is settled which will take place on March 4 Our mill here is running only one shift of 8 hours where we did run two of ID hours. Lumber has fallen on the average of about three dollars per thousand ft. locally and shipments gan to realize the enormity of these ! nearly twice this amount. T think men's treatment. After that I l>egan to get mad. The madder I got the stronger I got. Presently I got up and made a dive for Mason. His two men came upon me, but 1 seemed to have the strength of Hercules. After beating Mason awhile I carried him to the shaft and threw him down. The two men by this time were frightened and ran. I ran after them, caught one, gave him a drubbing, then caught the other and did the same by him. "When I came to myself I feared that I had killed Mason. I went to the shaft and heard him groaning at the bottom. I put one of his men In the bucket and lowered him. He got Mason in it, and T hauled him up, then hauled the other up. That's all I have to say, Judge. If It \n murder, 'make the most of it.' " "Mr. Parkinson," 1 said, "you seem to be a very young man. How is It that your hnir is prematurely white?" "White?" he said. "It's black." I called for a small mirror hauglug outside in the washroom and handed it to him. He looked at his hair with astonishment; then his anger returned, and I saw that he was about to spring upon Mason anew. "Hold!" I cried. "I will give your tormentor the rest of his punishment. Thomas Mason, stand up. The decision of the court Is that, while harmleaf practical jokei have such a bold on the people of thia country that they can't be weeded out, such a joke as you perpetrated on this gentleman is attempted homicide. You go to state prison for three years, and yoti^ Peter about two thirds cf the mills in the state are closed down all together, It looked rather bad here for a while but at present it is improving. We have a very pleasant winter here so far about a dozen light frosts, bat no snow in the valley although the mountains are covered most of the time. We have had about as much rain as sunshine, so I think O.egon is a very pleasant place to live. Hoping you are prospering and will thank you for a letter, I remain Yours very truly, Chas. P.

Now everybody get busy with the needful and provide a good big fund for tbe August festivities. I was in Boston last summer, just before tbe Old Home Week and wa« surprised to see tbe deep interest displayed in that large city. As to my suggestions in orevious letter, they were merely suggestive. I remember with keen delight, the many picnics at Portage (The Bluffs) and Silver lake, and for one, would like to enjoy another good big ieatiTAl there. Attendee** «t«J* t e V H t compulsory, nor any way, with tbe b% town. The reception in the Opera House and the big picnic should always be held. Another suggestion:— let tbe pood people of Pinckney and vicinity open their homes (as they all do their hearts) with evening partiea during tbe week. All will enjay eboeyfof % know the few evenings tpejftt rbit »fjjp four years ago were most | ^ l n e l k t r ^ ' Now kindly send your r r ^ S r ^ d b ^ scriptions for Od Home Week, to the Secretary at Pmckney, think and write some of tbe good things you would like to see next August, talk and work for the third and reunion, August 1908.

His business career began when be entered into partnership with his father and brother Eugene, under the style of "Alvin Mann & Sons/' carrying on the mercantile business which his lather bad established in the earliest years of Pinckney's history. On his father's retiring from the firm, the brothers carried on the business until the death of Eugene, left Edward A. the sole survivor of the firm. Mr. Mann conducted the business successfully until the gre it fire of 1887 wbich swept away everything between the brick store and Mill street.

An advertisement lately appeared in the papers of Pittsburg announcing that by the payment of a certain liberal euro of money a limited number of persons of wealth and high, social position cqujd secure the privilege . of presentation at the English court. The young man who Inserted the advertisement was arrested aa a swindler, in spite of his insistence that he could do all he had promised; but the most interesting phase of the affair was the large number of persons who were eager to accept his offer. They flocked to the hotel in si^i eagerness and were so anxious Jim. I i among- the chosen that the po- . 3 ^ %P difficulty in .getting them to f t JMNie- To the outsider of wellbalanced mind there must always be something amusing in such an exhibition of snobbery, says the . Youth's Companion. Yet this was only one form of a trait which exists in some shape and to some degree In most persons. The snobs who will pay to be presented to court are separated by no very clear line from those who will pay to get their names into "A Thousand Great Men" or "The Bluebloods of New York;" and hundreds of others who hold themselves far above such crude and overt snobbery as this will nevertheless pay what is virtually blackmail of one sort or another to buy the social approval or escape the social censure of their fellows. Snobbery of whatever kind is a heel of Achilles to the possessor. Although he may be covered with the armor of intelligence, good Intentions and experience he will still be vulnerable through his vanity. None know this better than the swindlers and "bunco-steerers'" who make their living by it. They love the snob because they know that snobbery and courage seldom go together. Prof. Albert A. Michelson of the University of Chicago is the first American man of science—he was born in Germany—to receive one of the Nobel prizes. He came to this country at an -early age, however, and * was brought up in San Francisco. He was graduated from the United States Naval academy in 1873 and served for • time in the navy. Intending to retire ^ ¾ civil life, he studied in Germany arid France, and prepared himself for work as a professor of physics. The Nobel prize, which amounts to about $40,000, is conferred on him for his invention of an instrument for measuring the velocity of light. On the same day that the award to him was the Royal society of EngiteeV to him in London the Idal for the same discovery, snd a few months earlier a JBelgiaa prize of $10,000 was awarded to aim. President Roosevelt is ta* only outer American—and he is of Dutch descent —to receive the Nobel prize. It was Kiven to him for his efforts in behalf of peace.

Although known ai city hall, tad building wat divided between city and county offices, while the police building aheK tered the supreme, Judicial and municipal courts in addition to the porfe* department The ire was the jvovat in the state since the great Portland conflagration of 1866, when the city's busiuess 'and residential sections were almost completely .wiped but. More than TOO persons attending the Western Maine Knights of Pythias jubilee were gathered in the auditorium of the city hall when the. flames were discovered, but only a few were hurt, Chief Engineer Melville Elidridge being the only one injured seriously. He continued to direct the firemen,- being supported by two assistants. The financial loss is estimated at $1,000,000, but this sum will not cover the loss of the papers and documents iu the registry of deeds, where everything was destroyed. Other city departments were swept clear by the flames, with the exception of the city clerk's and the city treasurer's offices, the money and securities in the latter being believed to be intadt, although it will be almost impossible to ascertain definitely until the vaults have cooled. One of the most valuable libraries in the state, the Greenleaf Law Collection, was completely destroyed, with a loss of $10,000. ^JNE K GMAT UOAt. •TUsJOOLI HWsUtATIONt or RAIlftQAJ •sauti" GOfOTAHMY Baltimore 8uffert Again.

Back in 1891 a law was enacted which prohibits the use of oleomargerine or butterine in any state institution. It makes it a misdemeanor for the manager or superintendent to use the manufactured product instead of the home-made. Last week the boards of control of the several state asylums were in session at Kalamazoo discussing ways to economize and they finally decided to use butterine. This law, however, will prevent tlie savin? they propose. An epidemic of smallpox has broken out in Marengo. The school has been closed and M. P. R, cam notified«not to stop. THEMARKETS.

It Is by roundabout means that dngliBiimen usually learn of grave crises within the empire. Such a warning comes now in the shape of ordecs irom the war office to the officers of the auxiliary forces throughout Great Britain asking that they atate whether mobilisation is impossible. The recipients are instructed to be prepared to Join the forces on receipt of telegraphic orders. They rmj«t their adjutants informed *«£ movements and. must not go the reach of telegrams. t The ground for this extraord _ action is the fact that the government is seriously alarmed by the growing unrest in India.

The auxiliary forces will then be used for garrison duty In all parts of the empire from which regulars may be withdrawn. Revolutte* In da.

Into that dark hole he dived again, as a starved dog leaps for food, seized the cans, two at a time, almost tumble$ back, and emptied them.

Th^ two abandoned canoe* and th* trusty rifle had seemed aja a«- •urance of tragic Import, and yet no proof, of thit outlaw's death. /That this cave had been his lair, could not be doubted; and so momentous was HUM discovery, and so anxious was Old Cy to rescue this fortune, that be bled with a audden dread. But ho alga of human presence met hia sweeping look. , Th? lake still rlpPlea %nd arrjil*^ ta the sunlight. Two dW, a buak, ta£ doe, were feeding on the ruahgrown shore just acroas, while at his feet that rusty rifle still uttered its fatal message; . Once more Old Cy glanced all about, and then entered the cave again. Here, in the dim light and with trembling hands, he filled the cans once more, and almost staggered, so faint was he from excitement, be hurried to the canoe, and packing them in its bow, covered the precious cargo with his blanket. Then he ran like a deer back to the cave, closed it with the slab, grasped his rifle, and not even looking at the rusty one, bounded down the path to his canoe again, launched it, and pushed off. Never before- had it seemed so frail a craft. And now, as he swung its prow around toward the outlet, a curious object met his eyes. Far up the lake, and where no ripple concealed it, lay what looked like a floating log, clasped by a human arm. What intuition led him hither, Old Cy never could explain, for escape from the lake was now his sole thought. And yet, with one sweep of his paddle he turned his canoe and sped across the lake. And now, as he neared this object, it slowly outlined itself, and he saw a grewsome sight,—two bloated corpses grasping one another as if in a death grapple. One had hair of bronze, red, the other a hideously scarred face with lips drawn and teeth exposed. Hate, Horror and Death personified. Only for a moment did Old Cy ww safe in ooae tank in. her name. . And now, with so much of his future moves; dedd»d upon, he hurried to t h * c*bht gttetrf finst* urg*4 *tf» to 'fcMt4r Suifcorv w, tecttriug i Old Cy Now Gazed at it. glance at this ghastly sight, and then he turned again and sped back across the lake. The bright sun still smiled calm and serene, the morning breeze still kissed the blue water, the two deer still watched him with curious eyes; but he saw them not—only the winsome £ace and appealing eyes of Chip as he last beheld them. And now in the prow of his canoe lay her fortune, her heritage, which was, after all, but scant return for all the shame and sigrna so far meted out to her. It was almost sunset ere Old Cy, his nerves still quivering and wearied as never before, crossed the little lake and breathed a sigh of heart-felt gratitude as he drew his* canoe out on the sandy shore near the Ice house. No one was in sight, nor likely to be. A thin column of smoke rising from the cabin showed that the hermit was still on earth, and now for the first time. Old Cy sat down and considered his plans for the near future. First and foremost, not a soul, not even his old trusted companion here, not even. Martin, or Angle, and certainly not Ray, must learn what had now come into his possession. Neither must his journey to.this far-off lake or aught he had learned there be disclosed. But how was he to escape from the woods and these people, soon to arrive for their summer sojourn? And what if Chip herself should come? Two conclusions forced themselves upon him now: first, he must so conceal the fortune that none of these friends even could suspect its presence; next, he must by some pretext leave here aa soon as Martin and his party arrived, and cease not his watchful care until Chip's heritage In Ave minute* the can* of gold were buried deep in the sand, and upon Old Cy's person the bins found concealment. How. much it all amounted .to, he had not even guessed, nor scarce thought To aejeure it and bear it safely away from this now almost accursed lake had been his sole thought and must be until locks and bolts could guard It better. That night Old Cy hardly £lept a moment. 'Two days after, just as the sun was ne ring the mountain top, Martin, Ansie, Levi and Ray wteredjhe l«ge. How grateful both Old Cy and Amu* were for their arrival, how eagerly they grasped hands with them at the landing, and bow like two boys Martin and Ray behaved needs no description. All that had happened in Greenvale was soon told. Chip'* conduct and progress were related by Angle. Bay's plans to remain here another winter were disclosed by him; and "then, when the cheerful party had gathered about the evening Are, Martin touched upon another matter. •'I met Hersey as we were coming in," he said, "and he says that neither McGuire nor the half-breed has been seen or heard of since early last fall. Hersey came in early this spring with one of his deputies; they visited a half dozen lumber camps, called twice at Tims Place, and even went over to Pete's cabin on the Fox Hole, but nowhere could they learn Anything of these two men. More than that, no canoe was found at Pete's hut, and there was no sign of occupation at all this past winter. Nothing could be learned from Tim. either, -although not much was expected from that source. It is all a most mysterious disappearance, and the last that we can learn of Pete was his arrival and departure from Tim's Place after we rescued Chip." 'I think both on 'em has concluded, this section was gittin' too warm for 'em," remarked Levi, 'an' they've lit out." "It's good riddance if they have." answered Old Cy, 'an' I'm sartin none on us'll ever set eyes on 'em ag'ln.' And Old Cy spoke the truth, for none of this party ever did. In fact, no human being, except himself and Martin, ever learned the secret that this mountain-hid lake could tell. But another matter now began to interest Old Cy—how Ray and Chip stood in their mutual feelings. That all was not as he wished, Old Cy soon guessed from Ray's face and actions, and he was not long in verifying it. "Wal, how'd ye find the gal?" he said to Ray when the chance came. "Was she glad to see ye?" "Why, yes," answered Ray, looking away, "she appeared to be. I wasn't In Greenvale but two weeks, you know." "Saw her most every evenin* durin' that time, I s'pose?" "No, not every one," returned Ray, vaguely; "-her school hadn't closed when I got home, and she studied nights, you see." Old Cy watched Ray's face for a moment. "I ain't pryin' into yer love matters," he said at last, "but as I'm on your side, I'd sorter like to know how it's progressin*. Wa'n't thar nothin' said 'tween ye—no sort o' promise, 'fore ye come 'way?" "No, nothing of that sort." answered Ray, looking confuted, "though we parted good friends, and she sent her love to you. I'm afraid Chip don't quite like Greenvale." Old Cy made no answer, though a smothered "hum, ha" escaped him at the disclosure of what he feared. "I wish ye'd sorter clinched matters 'fore ye left," he. said, after a pause; "that is, if ye're callatin' to be here 'nother winter. It's most too long to keep a gal guessin'; 'sides, 'taint right." Ray, however, made no defense, in fact, seemed guilty and confused, so Old Cy said no more. A few days later he made a proposal that astonished Martin. "I've been here now 'bout two years," he said, "an' I'm gittin sorter oneasy. I callate ye kin spare me a couple o' weeks." No intimation of his real errand escaped him, and so adroitly had he laid his plans and timed his movements, that when his canoe was packed and he bade them good-by, no one suspected how valuable a cargo it carried. But Old Cy was more than "sorter oneasy," for the only spot where he dared close his eyes in sleep dnring that three days' journey out of the wilderness was in his canoe, with his head pillowed on that precious gold. seen anybedy like her V they've even dragged the mill-pond.

"I think I'd best go back to Greenvale," he said, "an' begin a sarch for .that gal. I ain't got nobody in the world that needs me so much, or 1 them. I'm a sorter outcast myself, ez you folks know. That little gal hez crept into my heart so, I can't take no more comfort here. Amzi don't need oje ap much »« T need her 'n' I've mjMe SP fliy Eiad 1¾ starf ti-anipln' till I find her.

She won't do no fool thing, like makin' 'way with herself, 'n' I'll And her some whar arnin' her own livfn' if I live long 'nuff. From the note she left, I know that was la her mind." Martin realized that there was no use in trying to change Old Cy's intent— in fact, had no heart to do so, for he too felt much the same toward Chip. "I'll give you all the funds you need, old friend," he .made answer, "and wish you God-speed on- your mission. I'll do more than that even. I'll pay some oue to watch at Grindstone for the next year, so if Chip reaches there, we can learn it." % That night be- held a consultation with his wife. "I suspect we are somewhat to blame for this unfortunate happening," he said to her, "or, at least, some thoughtless admissions yon may have made led up to it. It's a matter.we are responsible for, or I feel,so, anyway. I think as Old Cy does, that this girl must be found if money can do it, and I propose that we break camp and return to Greenvale. If Amzi can't be coaxed to go along, I must leave Levi with him. No power on earth can keep Old Cy here any longer." But the old hermit had changed somewhat since that night he broke away and returned to this camp, and when the alternative of remaining here alone, or going out with them all. .

Existence had become something like this to him, but he could no longer anticipate a vernal bndding forth as the leaves came, but only the sear and tutumn for himself, with the small and sadly neglected churchyard at the Corners for its ending. Snow came and piled itself into fantastic drifts. The stream's summer chatter was hushed. The cows, chickens, and his horse, with woodcutting, became his sole care. Once a week he journeyed to the Comers for his weekly paper and Mandy's errands, always hoping for a message from Chip.

Nothing went right with her. She stuck at the launch, and it eoet an extra ^.'Mo.ouo over and above the sum set aside for the purpose to get her into the water. On her trial trip her l>oilers burst, killing some of the stokers. Then she ran aground and carried on no outrageously that her crew thought her surely bewitched. She had started badly. While she was building a pay clerk sent by one or' the contractors with StJ.rvoo in wages for the. men disappeared. It was not unnaturally assumed that he had 1 K>1 t ed with the money. His wife and family were left unprovided for, with the stigma of his supposed crime upon them. Thirty years after her launch the Great Eastern went into the cemetery at Birkenhead to be broken up. While she was being taken to pieces the ship breakers discovered between her inner and outer casings of steel the skeleton of a man. Papers which had fallen from his clothes enabled his identity to be traced. It was the skeleton of the pay clerk who thirty years before had disappeared. There waa no money; that was never recovered. The supposition is that the poor fei low on going on to the ship was pounced upon by workmen who knew that he had the money w|th him; that they •tunned him and, having a small place In the side of the vessel to complete, trammed his body in and built him np In i t No reward wonld have induced a sailor to nail in tbat vessel had he known of the terrible secret sealed up In her walls.—fhfeago News. i-,', ?..o fur.

In 1002 at Safem, Mass.. a number sf young girls went Into ot» and accused Ncvenil IKM-SODH of havjug bewitched rtieuV. This .Hturted tbe tamous witchcraft delusion. While tbe freuzy was at its height a wonuiu about forty years old was brought liefore the court, a court that had condemned per •one for voiultiug crooked plua and aalllug iu sieves, but a court constituted in exuctly tbe some form as pur courts of the preBeut day.. There waa the prosecutor, tbe advocate, tbe Judge and a jury of twelve good and true men. Tbe judge was a venerable man uearlug threescore years uud ten. He was dignified, as all judges are sup posed to be. aud made nu Impressive appearance in his robes of oQiee. Tbe prisoner was accused of healing the sick miraculously aud therefore with the help of tbe devil. "Iiow do you effect your cures?" asked the prosecuting attorney. "I have n charm which 1 bang about the neck or the sick person." "Let me see It." The woman produced a bit of rolled paper aud handed It to tbe attorney. He nurolled It. uncovering some odd characters scratched upon It. Then he gave It to the jury for Inspection. As each juryman .looked at It the poor woman's doom might be read In his" ominous look. When tbe examination had been finished the prosecutor turned again to tbe prisoner. "Did Satan give you the charm?' "I don't know. It was used upon me when I was a little girl. One day a young stranger came to my mother's house and asked for lodging. 1 was ill with the chills at the time, and the stranger asked my mother why she permitted me to remain .sick when I could so easily be made well, whereupon my mother asked him to cure me. Then the young man took that bit of paper, scratched upon it the characters, and bung it about my ueck. He told my mother that tbe next morning I would be well. What he said came to pass. I never had another chill from that day to this." "And does the charm always cure?" » "Not always; usually. Some have faith and some are doubtful. I have noticed that tbe doubtful are seldom helped." "Describe the young man who gave it you." "He was about the height of his worship, and with features something like, only, being young, he was much handsomer." "Come now. mistress, confess, as you hope for mercy for your sin, did you see horns on the young man's head or a cloven foot?" "His brow was smooth, but as for his feet I could not see. since he wore boots to his knees." "Did you believe him to be the devil ?'• "1 did not, else I would not have worn his charm or used it upon others." The prosecutor turned to the jury and said: "That this woman received the charm from the devil is proved in this: That she has healed a number of persons with it who are ready to testify to the fact. We shall show that she healed one Hiram Oldershaw. one Annie ('aunt and Margaret Sherwoodthe first of a palsy, the second of a fever and the last of chills. Healing by divine power has not l>een possible in fifteen centuries. All healing is by divine power or by the devil, ergo this charm came from the devil. I'nt Satan first Switched the child to whom he gave it. and she has U'en possessed ever since. There Is I nit one way to stamp out these works of hell that are being worked among us." Meanwhile the judge sat looking fix edly at the prisoner. He seemed to lie in a levery, to be reaching back as through n mist for some bygone scene When the prosecutor ceased he asked , for the charm. It wan banded him. | and a singular expression came upon his features.

It is no use to tell a lie unless you are going to accomplish your purpose. Lies can do the work whether they are discovered or not. It is all in the manner of telling them. In the first place never tell a lie when the truth will do just aa well. This serves to establish your reputation and gives your lies & standing they could not otherwise gain. Never tell a big lie to gain a small object, nor tell a little i: > to gain a big object. Let all your lies be big and lusty fellows, aud let them have some big business in hand. These two rules are really imperative if you expect to become a successful and proficient liar. Little lies for little things are not worth telling. Finally, always have the courage of your lies. Stick to 'em. If you are not brave enough to stand by your own lies, why send them out only to be betrayed? A man Is the rankest sort of a coward that refuses to give his lie any support when it crawls back to him from the buffetings, beatingfe and rough usage of the populace, Bruce it up with manufactured corroborative evidence? and artificial confirmation and fend it out again renewed in spirit and vigor.-- Washingion Times. Arnold's Question Well Answered. There are renewed efforts to paint Benedict Arnold in clean, white colors, They remind a writer of the. following anecdote: On one of his raids Arnold captured an American officer in Virginia. After a few days ho said: "Capt'.ain, wrhat -would our countrymen do with me if they caught me?" "Well, sir," replied the captain, "if T must answer the question, I should say that if my countrymen should catch you they would first cut off your lame leg, which was wounded In the cause of freedom and virtue at Quebec, and bury it with the honors of war; then they would hang the remainder of your carcass on a gibbet!"

The -reader who ha* forgotten where Uje wprd "Ophir" occurs will find it tn the biblical books of Kings and Chronifllee. Oa« thousand years before Christ King David and the wise 80)01000, his son. sent to Ophir ships which brought back from thence gold Lous stones, ivory and valuiber, which these magnificent imployed in building, their gortemples and palaces. began to think of this subject after he had discovered an old Flemish map of the eighteenth century on which he saw the word "Opsir" printed across one of the least-known districts of southern Cent/ a! Jifrtoa. The first thing that struck him was the similarity of the name* Africa and Ophir. There was first the Arabic word Afir (Ophir), which when Latinised became Afer. It was an easy translation freai Afer to Africa. He thought further and deeper and began to read Christian tradition. All pointed to South Africa. The ancient literature he read made Peters also acquainted with the fact that at all aget since Solomon's time Ophir had been sought in numerous parts of the world—in Arabia, Persia, Mesopotamia, India; it had even been sought in America, and there are ancient Spanish records which state that among the early conqulstadores of Peru and Mexico were not a few who believed that they had found not only El Dorado but Ophir as well. Suddenly it occurred to Peters that the famous gold land, must be in the neighborhood of Simbabje in southeast Africa* U wasan inspiration. - Mm ws* iMiiked for this belief, and - .'tlktBtasjtes* and others with a different •••jtH&rj *Mt an him the reproach that h e - i ^ « e i a Semitic scholar.

SB ass description of the Zambesi territory Peters says he has seen innumerable traces which compel him to believe that there and nowhere else was the land of Ophir. Forsaken mines by the score are there, and no less than 75,000 places where gold has been dug at depths of from 30 to 40 feet. Ruins of towns and villages, remains of temples and palaces speak eloquently of the past glories of the region. They point moreover to Phoenician origin. Mighty terraces and towers raised by the hand of man are still traceable. These builders were certainly of a race superior to the negro. One still finds in the graves remnants of things which point to the worship of Baal. But Peters' weightiest argument is that in the Septuagint translation of the Bible Ophir ia called Sofala, and the Arabs to the present day call the Zambesi district indifferently Sofala jnd "the land of gold." Diana of Philadelphia. At the mint in Philadelphia there are to be seen coins far more precious than any which find their way Into circulation. These form a collection of curios, and many of them date from times of great antiquity. Perhaps the most interesting of them is a handsome coin bearing on Its face tbe profile of a woman, which has. a, striking resemblance to the Goddess of Liberty of our own country* Underneath is the single word "Demos," which is the Greek for "the people." On the reverse side of the coin is a beautiful figure of the Goddess Manna, arching her bow, and the inscription, translated into English, reads, Dianna. Friend of the Philadelphia**." This coin was minted some 2,000 years ago at the city of Philadelphia, in Asia Minor, where, as we know, there grew up in later years one of the seven churches of which St. John writes. The prise was discovered some years ago in Europe by a Mr. Mtekto* of Philadelphia. By bias it was appropriatetry presented to the mini at Philadelphia.

In a few days he receives a copy of an ad and not over-courteous demand for money. It is said that twentytwo agriculturists were caught with this bait in Brown County and that one. of them gave up |320.

A couple of foils were standing in a comer George took one, handed me the other, then placed himself ou guard. I passively did the same. Aftei a few passes he put back bis left foot and toyed with my foil. Then suddenly he lunged. T saw. but did not feel, his foil |)n88 through my body. Willie I was wondering, he said, "On guard?" aud made the same movement a secoud time, again running me through the body. "Try It yourself," he sakl. I did as he suggested, making several trials, every one of which failed, not because of the defense, but because of my own clumsiness. But I kept on until at last It seemed to me that it was not George standing before me, but my enemy of the morrow, and that my life depended on my.making the lunge successfully. Concentrating all my watchfulness, my activity, my strength. I threw it with one supreme effort, running my foil clean through the body before me and breaking my foil against f.he wall. That's the last of consciousness for me till I was aroused at 4 o'clock by my second. Had I dreamed or had George Itingwalt come back to show me how 1 could win? The foils stood iu the corner.

Almost us soou as we had crossed weapons 1 put my left foot back and toyed for a few momenta with my adversary's blade. What there was in my eye that disconcerted him I don't know.

Did Nietseche ever dream of a super woman to matoh his ideal superman? The answer.to that question, says Current Literature, Si found in his.definition of marriage.

'% w Empire of Undreamed Of Possibilities. "The Unknown Philippines" is the title of an article Ih The World Today by Hamilton Wright. He says: "The archipelago is an empire of undreamed- of-posslbilltles. Possibly no country in the world may excel Its unique, and lasting charms. Were It known it would become a paradise for the sightseer and tourist. Yet one who has not left the well-traveled routes will with difficulty appreciate its marvelous diversity and almost limitless opportunities. 1 think it was fortunate for the Filipino people that the Americans came. For there is no way in which the native inhabitants will develop faster. They are initiative and adaptable to a degree, and they progress faster when in contact with the white settler than when left to their own devices. The grasp with which the Filipino people are laying hold of a totally new scheme of life Is the astonishment of the European nations which have colonised the Orient, it room in the Philippines for the present population to in happiness and comfort.

It sounds simple, butsome of the delegates, have utilized their knowledge, of the length of time necessary for accountants to go over a set of books and have come to the conclusion that such a department would have to have about 150 high priced men. This would make a tidy salary roll to be added to the expenditures of the state. Married in Haste. Ray Davidson and Idella Westover Davidson have been found. YheKfytuuT themselves.

To Fight Reciprocity. Congressman Fordney announces his purpose to attack Cuban reciprocity. He will Introduce a bill now in preparation to terminate the reciprocity treaty. This move Is made possible by the fact that the five year term for which the Cuban treaty was Irrevocably made will expire December 27, 1908. After that date the treaty may be annulled by either country on one year's notice. Fordney wants this country to give the required notice st this session of congress. He has gath ered statistics to show that the United States Is getting the short end of that reciprocity agreement, which, he says, has been especially injurious to the beet sugar industry.

The king's second son, the Infant Manuel, was .slightly wounded, but Queen Amelie, who strove to save the crown prince's life by throwing Jierself upon him, was unhurt. Almost at the first shot, the king fell back on the cushions dying, and at the same moment the crown prince was seen to half rise and then sink back on the seat. The. royal family were returning from Villa Vlcosa, where they had been sojourning, and were on their way from the railroad station to the palace. - A stroug guard was in attendance, because of the recent uprising In the city and the discovery of a plot to assassinate Premier Franeo and overthrow the monarchy.

Before any of the guard were aware. of what was hapopening the assassins leaped toward the carriage^and instantly a fusillade of shots rang out. In a moment all was terrible confusion, the king and crown prince Being shot down without the slightest chance to Bave themselves. Police guards sprang upon the regicldeB, the number of whom is somewhat uncertain, and killed three of them and captured three others. One of these committed suicide after being placed in prison. It is charged that one of the murderers was a Spaniard named Cordova. The bodies of the king and the crown prince were removed from the marine arsenal in two closed carriages to the royal palace, the Paco das Nece8sidades, the late residence of the king, escorted by municipal guards mounted.

Andab the clouds .rolled away. That Then and there, Chip resolved to do something that now lay In her power —to face shame and bumbled pride and all the sacrifice it meant to her in the end, and reunite these two longseparated brothers! But not now, no, not yet. Before her lay two golden, joyous summer months. Aunt Abby was coming up later. She could.not.face her own humiliation now. She must wait until these happy days were past, then teir ^er "wreTched story, not sparing herself one lota, and then, If she inust, go her way, an outcast into the world once more. How utterly wrong she was In this conclusion, and how little she understood the broad charity of Uncle Jud, need not be explained. She was only •a child as yet In a^l but stature. The one most bitter sneer of malicious Hannah still rankled and poisoned her common sense. Its effect upon Chip had been as usual pn her nature and belief, and this waif of the wilderness, this gnome child, must not be judged by ordinary standards. Like reflections from grotesque mirrors, so had her Ideas of right and duty been distorted by eerie Influences and weird surroundings. There was first the unspeakable brutality of her father; then the menial years at Tim's Place, with no more consideration than a horse or pig received, her only education being the uncanny teachings of had loved and trusted her, seemed horrible. But events were stronger than her will, for one day in the last of August, Uncle Jud returned from the village store, bringing dress materials and startling information. "Cap'n Bemis is failin' purty fast," he said, "so Aunt Abby writes, an' she ain't comin' up here. It won't make no difference to you girlie" he continued, turning to Chip. "I've brought home stuff to rig ye out fer school. Miaa Solon, the dressmaker'*, comin' to-mprrer, 'n' we'll take keer o' ye In good shape. We've made up our minds ye belong to us ler good, me 'n' Mandy," he added, smiling at Chip, "an' I shall go with ye to Christmas Cove, if Cap'n Bemis ain't iraprovin', 'n' find ye a boardin' place." "I'm a'wful1 sorry to hear 'bout the Cap'n," Interrupted Aunt Mandy, as if the other matter and Chip's future were settled definitely; "but if he drops off, Aunt Abby must come here fer good. I dunno but it'll be a relief," she added, looking, at Uncle Jud and sighing. *• 'Twari't no lovematch in the first place, 'n* Abby's mind's always been sot on your brother Cyrus, his life and love as a flower would^ o l d Tomah. Under this baleful tui t and "Pattycake," as he had named her, with her appealing eyes and odd ways, was never out of his thoughts. And so the winter dragged Its slow, chill course. Spring finally unlocked the brook once more, the apple and cherry blossoms came, the robins began nest-building, and one day Uncle Jud returned from the corner with a glad smile on his face. "Pattycake's school's goin' to close In a couple o' weeks more, 'n' then she's comin' home," he announced, and Aunt Mandy, her face beaming, made haste to wipe her "specs" and read the joyous tidings. For a few days Uncle Jud acted as if he had forgotten something and knew not where to look for it. He lingered about the house when he would naturally be at work. He peered Into one room and then another, in an abstracted way, and finally Aunt Mandy caught him in the keepingroom) with one curtain raised.—a thing unheard of,—seated in one of the haircloth chairs and looking around. • "Mandy." he said, as she entered, do yon know, I think them picturs we've had hangin' here nigh on to 46 year is homely :nu* to stop a horse, 'a' tfcey a$*»w me feel like I'd been te -a foaeral.

I feel lest as though I'd like to throw a stun at him this minute. You may feel sot on them plcturs, but I'd like to chuck the hull kit 'n' boodle into the cow shed. An' them winder curtains," he continued, looking around, "things so blue they make me shiver, an' this carpet with the Aggers o* green and yaller* birds, it sorter stuns me. "Now Pattycake's comin' purty soon. She must 'a' seen more cheerful keepin' rooms'n own, 'n' I'm caJ latin' we'd best rip this 'un all up an' tion, coupled with the ever present menace and mystery of a vast wilderness, she passed from childhood into womanhood, with the fixed belief that human kind were no better than brutes; that the forest was peopled by a nether world of spites, the shadowy forms of both1 man and beast; and worse than this, that all thought and action here must be the selfish ones of personal gain and personal protection. Like a dog foreVer expecting a blow, like any dumb brute ever on guard against superior force, so had Chip grown to maturity, a cringing, helpless, almost hopeless creature, and yet one whose inborn impulses and desires revolted at her surroundings. Once removed from these, however, and in a purer atmosphere, she was like one born again. Her past Impressions still remained, her queer belief of present and future conditions was still a motive force, and the cringing, blow-expecting nature waa yet hers. For this reason, and because this new world and these new people were so unaccountable and quite beyond her ken in tender influence and loving care, what they had done and for what purpose teamed all the more impressive. But it wn» in no wise wasted; instead, it was like God-given sunshine to a flower that hea aever known aught except the chitting shadow of a dense forest And now ensued an almost pathetic play of interest, for Chip set herself about the duty of giving instead of obtaining pleasure. She became what she was at Tim's Place,—a menial, so far as they would let her,—and from early morning vnHl bedtime, some step, some duty, some kindly care for her benefactors, was assumed by her. She worked and weeded in the garden, she drove and milked the cows, ahe followed Uncle Jud to the hayfield, insisting that she must help, until at last he protested.

'n' she never quite gin ui> the idee he was alive." •* And now a sudden faintness came to Chip as the chasm In her own life was thus opened. Only one instant she faltered, and then her defiant courage rose supreme and she took the plunge. "Oh, your brother Cyrus isn't dead, Uncle Jud," she exclaimed; "he's alive and I know him. I've known It all summer and dare not tell because I'm a miserable coward and couldn't own up that I lied to you. My name isn't Raymond, it's McGuire; and my father was a murderer, and I'm nobody and fit for nobody. I know you'll all despise me now and I deserve it. I'm willing to go away, though," and the next instant ahe was kneeling before Uncle Jud and sobbing. It had all come in a brief torrent of pitiful confession'which few would be brave enough to make. To Chip, seeing herself as she did,' it meant lose of love, home, respect, and all else she now valued, and that she must become a homeless wanderer once more. But Uncle Jud thought otherwise. for now he drew the sobbing girl into his.iap. "Quit takin' on so, girlie," he said, choking back a lump; "why, well all love ye ten times more fer all this, an' ex fer bein' a nobody, ye're a blessed angel to na fer bringin' the news ye hev." And then he kissed her, while Aunt Mandy wiped her eyes on her apron. The shower, violent for a moment, was soon over; for as Chip raised her wet eyes, a sunshiny smile illumined Uncle Jud's face. "If Cyrus Is alive," he said, "as ye callate, I'll thank God till I set eyes on him, and then I think I'll lick him fer not huatia' me up all these years. "But mebbe he found Abby was married 'n' didn't want to," interposed Aunt Mandy. "We mustn't judge him » • • # « . ' • " • • : . . • . \ • •.• night Chip wrote a brief but curious letter, so odd, ia fact, it must be quoted verbatim: Mr. Martin Friable;- Pleas* send word at once to Mr. Cyrus Walker that his brother Judson, who Uvea In RiggsvlHe, wants to see him. Ho one else must be told of this, for it's a secret. ONE WHO KNOWS. But Chip's secret was a moat transparent one, for when this • missive reached Martin three days later, he recognized its angular penmanship and similarity ip the note Aunt Comfort stfll treasured, and knew that Chip wrote it. It startled him somewhat, however, for Old Cy's youthful history was unknown to him, and suspecting that some mystery lay beneath this information, he told no one, but started for Riggsvllle at once. The tide of emotion that had upset the even tenor of Uncle Jud's home life slowly ebbed away, and a keen sense of expectancy took its place. Chip, after giving him her letter, explained that Old Cy was most likely in the wilderness, and that the letter mbjht not reach him for weeks. And then one day a broad-shouldered, rather commanding, and somewhat citified man drove up to the home of Uncle Jud. "Does Mr. Judson Walker live here?" he inquired of Aunt Mandy, who met him a tthe door. Her admission of that fact was scarce uttered when there came a rustling of skirts, a "Why, Mr. Frisble!" and Chip was beside her, at which Martin, collected man of the world that he was, felt an unusual heart-throb of thankfulness. A little later, when Uncle Jud had been summoned into their newly furnished "keeping-room," disclosures astonishing to all followed. "We have been searching for you, Chip, far and near," Martin assured them, "and Old Cy is still at it. He left us at the camp, almost a year ago, came to Greenvale, found you had run away, and came back to tell us. It upset us all so that we broke camp at once, taking Amzi with us, and returned to Greenvale. Old Cy there bade us good-by and started to find you. Ray also began a search as well. I've advertised in dozens of papers, have kept Levi on watch for you at Grindstone ever since, and now I hope you will return with me to Greenvale." "I thank you all, oh, so- much," answered Chip, scared a little at this proposal, "but I don't want to. I'm nobody there and never can be. I'd be ashamed to face folks there any more." "I guess she best stay with us," put in Uncle Jud, "fer we sorter 'dopted her, 'n' not meanin' no disrespect to you folks, I callate she'll be more content here. I'd like ye to get word to Cyrus, though, soon's possible. 1 hain't sot eyes on him fer 40 years, •n'," his eyes twinkling, "I'm jest spll- In' to pull his hair 'n' cuff him." "I will help out in that matter at once, and more than gladly," replied Martin, again looking at Chip and noting how improved she was; "but I still think Miss Runaway had better return with me. We need you, Chip," he continued earnestly, "and so does some one else 1 can name, more than you Imagine, I fancy, and my wife will welcome you with open .arms, you may be sure. As for that foolish Hannah, she's the most penitent person In Oreenvale. There's another reason still," he added, glancing around with a smile, "and no one is more glad of it than we all are. It's a sixty-thousanddollar reason—your heritage, Miss Vera McGuire, for your father is dead and that amount is now in the Riverton Savings bank awaiting you."

A young woman, with a pleasant smile and a trace of surprise on her face, followed the boy; also addressing th£ astonished Williams in this wise: "Why, Fml, where did you get that suit of clothes? I never knew you to wear brown before. And why in the fvorld have you shaved off your mustache?" And she gave him a kiss. "Mother '11 be mighty glad to see you," chirped tbe boy. "Bhe'a been awful sorry ever aiuce you've been away." "You have made a mistake," said Mr. Willi-ms, rulsing bis hat to the lady. "Why, Fred, what can you mean?" "I am certainly not this little boy^ papa." The lady looked troubled. "Oh, Fred," Bhe gasped, "I do hope you haven't got oue of those dwadful brain troubles. Don't you remember either of us? This is Tommy, your little boy, and I'm your sister Lillian." There is a great difference In being mistaken for the husband of some middle aged, plain looking woman with a family ready made and receiving a sisterly kiss from a pretty young woman. Mr. Williams looked at the lady admiringly and said: "What is the name of the gentleman you take me for?" "Oh, dear, what shall I do?"«she moaned. "This will kill Edith. To have such a shock after expecting so much happiness!" And she wrung her bands. "What's the matter, papa?" said the boy, looking up anxiously. •"Carriage, Mr. Loland?" cried a cabman, driving up to the station and touching his hat. "Yes, yes!" cried the lady. "We want a carriage at once." There was absolutely nothing for Williams to do but get in the cab with the young lady and the boy. "Trunk, sir?" asked the cabman, closing the door. "Never mind the trunk," said the girl impatiently. "We'll send for It. Drive us home at once. You know where. And get us there as soon as you can." Mr. Williams resigned himself to his fate, whatever it might be. When the carriage stopped in a few minutes before n residence the young lady asked him to wait a bit. She evidently wished to prepare his "wife" for the blow that was alKiut to fall. Had it not been that lie was much struck with his "sister" and longed to taste another of those delightful kisses he would have escaped. As it was, he waited till the lady came out, accompanied by the wife, weeping, and the gardener, who looked ready for business In case be became violent. "My poor, dear husband!" she moaned. "How could It have happened?" Futting her arms about him, she led him into the house, the gardener standing ready to help him along In case he resisted. When the patient was got Into the hall he stood looking about him and exclaimed: " W e l l , I'll be handed!" Then he heard the voice of his "sis ter" at the telephone. "Dr. Swift':' "Yes."

Ita 110 rocky acres la the hea,rt of the Blue, Grass state hare' bee# Purchased, and an asaoclatioa has-been organised to restore its many natural beauties. The log cabin in which the future president was bora was recently rescued from a- cellar at College, Point/ Long Island, where It had been ignominiously dumped after traveling Baltimore, Harrisburg, Altoona, Pittsabout the country as a show. With burg, Columbua and Indianapolis it Imposing ceremonies, it was carried back to its native, sou, and restored to the very spot where "Tom" Lincoln; the father, put its rough timber? together. On another part of the farm, as an antithesis to the hut, and as illustrative of the height to which the son attained from Such a humble origin, it is planned to erect a memorial structure which will be an exact reproduction of the White House at the time Lincoln lived there. Within its walls will be preserved all the available historical treasures associated with His name anil fame. x: ThjL date chaeen.. tm the dedication of the Lincoln farm is especially appropriate, for It marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the martyred president jr?fominent Americana from the north, south, "east and west are expected to be present at the exercises; President Roosevelt has' achurried to Hodgeavitte i^JU* fastest conveyance he could hire, -^ . •.., On reaching Hodgetville the New York man asked that the sue tkm* be held as early as possible,; and he bought the farm for $8,600 about a quarter of an hour before the whisky man arrived. ' The restoration of the log cabin to its native state was a spectacle as Imposing as its consignment to a cellar in New York waa inglorious. It was placed on a special car and escorted back to Kentucky by a sous* of Kentucky militiamen. At Philadelphia, rested under military guard. Gov ernprs and mayors met it at various railroad stations and paid tribute to the life that began within its rough timbers. When the special train on which it rode crossed the Ohio river from Indiana into Kentucky, it was met at the Louisville station with military honors. Col. Henry Watterson and Adlal E. Stevenson made the chief speeches of welcome. The cost of making a park of the Lincoln farm, of erecting the memorial hall and of carrying out other plans is being met by popular subscriptions sent to Clarence H. Mackay, treasurer of the Lincoln Farm association. Other officers of the association are Joseph W. Folk, president; William H. Taft, Cardinal Gibbons, Samuel L. Clemens, August Belmont and Lyman J.

A doctor said:-- "Before marriage my wife observed in summer and conntry homes, coming in touch with families of varied means, culture, tastes and discriminating tendencies, that the families using Posturn seemed to average better than those-usiug coffee. >-*» "When we were married two years ago, Poetum was among our first order of groceries. We also put in some coffee and tea for guests, but after both bad stood around the pantry about a year untouched, they were thrown away, and Postum used only. "Up to the age of 28 I had been ac- -rustomevl to drink coffee as a routine habit and suffered constantly from in* (itecstion. and all ita relative disorders. Since using Postum air the old complaints nave completely left me and I sonietinu'ri wonder if t ever had them." i Nam;* given by Po3tum Co., Battle* • Crneft, Ittirh/ Read, '«The Road to* Wellvlliv," in pUgs. "There's a Reason," cepted the invitation to make the principal address of the day. Had the farm not been purchased when it was for a national park, it might even now have been the site for a distillery. Because of a spring on the farm, famous throughout Kentucky for the purity of its waters, a wealthy Louisville whisky manufacturer had sought to buy the property that he might advertise his product in some such way as this: LINCOLN RYE : Made from the PUREST MAI,T, : : combined with the crystal waters : : of the famous LINCOUf SPRING. : : which gushes out of the rock with- : : in a few feet of the place where . Abraham Lincoln Was Born. Visit our distillery at Lincoln's : : birthplace and See and Taste for Yourself. (All genuine Lincoln whisky : shows portrait of Lineoln drinking : : from the spring.) : As it happened, whisky helped defeat whisky. When it was publicly announced that the long dra*tt-out litigation in which the farm's': title had become entangled waa a^ last ended, and that it wonld be soid at auction on August 28, 1905, the Louisville distiller sent a representative "to bid it In," no matter what the figure. The ageat got as far as SlUabethtown, Ky., some 12 miles1, from Hodgenvllle, where the auction waa to take place, and, as it was Sfunday and the sale was to be held in the afternoon of the following day, he put up at a hotel and "took things easy," intending to drive over to Hodgenvllle trie next morning. But although the trains do not run in that part of Kentucky on Sunday, the bottles do, and the whisky man drank long and often In the barroom. Here he made the acquaintance of a young man from New York, who had come to buy the farm fcr its preservation as a park, and who is now secretary of the Lincoln Farm association. On learning the. purpose of the man from Louisville and noticing that "the tide was comipg ln.^ the > J e ^ Yorker got up at daybreak the next morning stiff1" scenes of the earliest years of Lincoln's life has revived unusual interest in all the associations of his youth. The graybearda of Hodgenvllle, the hamlet which is situated about two miles from the Lincoln farm, ever since they were aroused by ita Bale at auction, have been telling many a story about "Little Abe," when a lad; about "Tom," his father, and Nancy, THE HUT IN WAS WHICH BORN. LINCOLN This log cabin was removed from the Lincoln farm, in Kentucky, and carried about the country for some tlms by a showman.

It waa only a penny ante, five-cent limit game, but then people have been known to clean up a first-rate little bunch of pin money in even such a juvenile game as that, and Jones already had his chips stacked up into four cute little cylinders in front of him. Mrs. Jones would reach over and borrow ten chips or so now and again, and a momentary frown would flit over her husband's brow, but he didn't say anything. By and by Jones took notice of the faot that Mrs. Jones was reaching over into his sub-treasury vaults and picking up chips half a stack at a time and putting them into the pot as fast as she could meet Mr. Goitt's bets and raise him back again. Mr. Jones looked at her when he saw his hoard of chips disappearing, in a way that inquired plainly: "Are you sure you've got it on him?" "Got a straight!" whispered Mrs. Jones when she found opportunity to whisper without being observed, and Jones gave her a look that said, "Go as far as you like," for straights had been pretty good that evening, and tho pot, after the way It had been sweetened, looked worth while. Finally Mr. Goitt called her. "All I've got is three ladies," he said in a tone of polite inquiry, laying down his hand. "Well, I have a straight," gurgled Mrs. Jones. "See—queen, king, ace, deuce, tray!" Mr. JoneB gave her a look that told her something was amiss before anybody had time to say a word. "Why, the ace comes after the king, doesn't it?" she inquired. "And doesn't the two-spot come after the ace, and the three-spot after the two- 8pot?a I'd Just like to know why that isn't a straight!" Mr. Jones watched Mr. Goitt rake in the pot and didn't say anything—not just then. Edison's Advice to Boys. "1 should like every boy interested in electricity to hear what Thomas A.

"I often recall it when things do not go jnst right at first. I asked the great Inventor one day if invention was not made up largely of inspiration.

' .If It is a young man who Is 'thus dismissed and he has a father la* the army or navy, they are cnt off forever unless the father should choose to quit the nation* service also. And when the sentence ts once .passed it: Is unchangeable. A who simply violates the laws of the country even to the point of treason has a chance for pardon, but once hje receives the document bearing the phrase "dismissal with ignominy," it stands just as long as there Ts'breath in his body. Even if he wishes to enlist in the service as one of the men In the ranks this would not be llowed. When caught he would be punished for "fraudulent enlistment." In the old days the greatest punishment was to cashier an officer. Then he would be taken out before an as-N scmbled body of troops or sailors and his insignia of rank would be taken and his sword broken. Now this has given way to a more complete method of exposing his shame. When an officer is "dismissed with ignominy" it is ordered by the president that notice shall be sent to all members of the service -and the crime and the punishment is published in the newspapers not only around the headquarters where he was last on duty, but also In the state from which'he comes or In which he "usually makes hi? home.

'There is no line in which more care must be exercised than in selling diamonds," remarked one of the oldest dealers in Cleveland. "For instance, we don't dare Bhow a man a larger stone than he can afford to buy. "Even a diamond a carat or a carat and a half in size looks like a mighty small affair to pay so much money for, and if a man comes in expecting to pay $75 for a diamond he may get disgusted and not buy at all if the salesman shows him something a little larger for $200. The salesman, if he knows his business, will find to a certainty just how much a customer is willing to pay before he shows him anything. "Then it's better not to show a colored stone, such as a ruby or an emerald or a blulah diamond in connection with other diamonds. If you show some customers a colored stone and then put it away- and show him a good white diamond he will declare that the diamond is off color. It does not seem to be a whim so much as the effect on ilie oyes of the colors in the stones." Habitual umsti ovffcoen* Exact Copy of Wrapper.

A man in Oxford, Pa., owns a pet collie who is reported to have saved the lives of the family by ringing the dinner bell to awaken them. The dog found the house in flames at midnight, and not beins able to awaken the household by barking, grasped the rope to the dinner bell, as he had been taught to do when summoning the bands from the fields, and in an instant aroused the entire neighborhood. The members of the family barely escaped with their lives. . The two children were partly overcome by the smoke, t h e children had taught the dog this trick, and arc now grateful to him for.knowing when to ring it.

Some Rara and Peculiar 8ubatanoea U»ed In Medioine. A writer in Wisaen fuer Alle throws some interesting light on rare and peculiar drugs. Saffron, he points out, would strike an ordinary observer as decidedly expensive at $13 a pound (to change marks into our coinage) until told that it is composed of the central •mall portions only of the flowers of the crocus, 70,000 of which it takes to make a pound. Attar of rosea sells at $112 odd per pound, and it takes 10,000 pounds, or nearly five tone of roses, to obtain one pound of the oil. Aconitine, extracted from the root of monkshood, is said to be the very strongest poison extant, the dose being one six-hundredth of a grain. It Is sold at the rate of $108 per ounce. Turning from the vegetable to the animal worJd In search of rare drugs, the writer refers to the musk of the Asiatic deer, which at $24 to $80 an ounce must be a prize to the wily hunter.

The "coup de Jarnac" has become a French proverb, and it serves to distinguish a stroke as decisive as unforeseen which Intervenes for the set tlement of any affair. The adage rests upon an incident in the life of Gui Chabot, Seigneur de Jarnac, a noble of the court of Francis I. The He passed between him aud Le Chatelgneraie, ' the dauphin's favorite. King Frauds, i however, forbade the duel. At the sucj cession of Henry II. the old quarrel I was revived, and the overdue duel was j fought on the plain of St. Germain ; with all the formality of the ancient I Judicial combats and in the presence of the whole court. Jarnac was weaker and less agile than his adversary, who was one of the noted swordsmen of the time, but he had taken lessons from an Italian bravo. In the duel Jarnac waited for an epening and then dealt La Chateignerale a heavy and unexpected stroke which hamstrung him. This was in 1447. Ten years later Jarnac was a captain in the defense of St. Qnentin. Eventually he met his fate in a duel. But the "coup de Jarnac" Is historic in the annals of sword play.—Argonaut. ADBITIOJAIIQCAX.

Martin had expected this news to be overpowering, and a "Good God!" from Uncle Jud, and a gasping, "Land saUos!" from Aunt Mandy proved that it, was, Chip's face, however, was a study. f i r s t she grew pale, then flashed *a seared glance from one to another of the three who watched *ier, and then almost did her shame and hatred of this vile parent find expression. "I'm glad he—no, I won't say so, for lie wag my father," she exclaimed; "but I want. Old Cy to have some of the money, and Uncle Jud here, and you folks, all. I w a s a pauper long enough," and then, true to her Instinct of how to escape from trouble, r,he ran out. of the room. • She's a curls gal," asserted Uncle Jud, looking after h e r as if feeling that she needed explanation, "the most curia gal I ever saw. But we can't let her go, money or no money, Mr. Friable. I found her one night upon top o* Bangall hill. She was so starved an teat out from tram pin' she couldn't hartM? erawt "P ° * t o t h e wagon, 'n* i yet.fftt taid she wouldn't be helped D M * tftt could a m it. I think she's 1Hm Mlra we read about, who starve ruther'n beg. But s h e kin have all we've got some day, a n ' we jest can't let ber go." And Martin, realizing its futility, made no further protest, Something of chagrin also came to him, for, broad-minded as h e was, he realized how partial neglect, t h e nar- , row religious prejudice of Oreenvale, and unwise notice of her childish ideas about spites and Old Toman's superstitions had all conspired to drive her a.way She was honest and self-red i r e c t i n g , "true blue," a s Old Cy had ••* Ifcjpd. jrrateful as a fawning dog for all 4*mlkt had been done for her, and in spite of her origin, a circumstance that rarried no weight with Martin, she was one, he belle \flSd, who would develop into sp4ertdtd womanhood. Thar she was well on her way toward IIJ.I, II I II I .1 J ' feat # ° 4 * t « r i f j N f c f v £ « M h an4 4 » rbtlon t o (bete new friends gave ample evideact. And now p a y ' s posfclon in this complex" situation eccuVred t o Martin; for this young man's Interest 1« Chip and almost heartbroken a-rief over her, dis appearance had \otxjt since betrayed his attachment. "I suppose you may have guessed t h a t there was a love affair mixed up with this episode," h e said to t h e two somewhat dazed people. "I callated thar was, that fust night," Uncle J u d responded, his eyes twin- Tding again, "an' told Mandy so. 'Twas that more'n anything else kept us from quizztn' the gal. I knowed by her face she had heart trouble, 'n' I've seen the cause on't." "You have," exclaimed Martin, astonished in turn, "for heaven's sake, where?" "Oh, down to the Corners, 'most a year ago, 'n' a likely boy h e waa, too." "And never told her?" "No, why should I, thlnkin' she'd run away from him. We didn't want to spile her plans. We found out, though, her name was McGuire, b u t never let on till she told us a spell ago." And then Uncle Jud told the story of Ray's arrival In Rlggsvllle iu search of Chip. "That fellow is my nephew, Raymond Stetson," rejoined Martin with pride, "he also is a n orphan, and I have adopted him. Chip has no cause to be ashamed of h i s attachment." "I don't callate s h e is," replied Uncle Jud. " T a i n ' t that that jinerally makes a gal kick over t h e traces. Mebbe 'twas suthia some o' you folks said." And then a uew light came to Martin. "Mr. Walker," h e answered Impressively; "in every village there is always a meddlesome old. maid who ini n n m Chip, w i t h Pail in Hand, Hurried Away to the Fields. variably says things she'd better not, and ours ia no exception. In this case it was a dependent of our family who took a dislike to Chip, it seems, and her escapade w ir- its outcome." "Wal. ye'vo got to hcv charity for 'em," replied Uncle Jud, with a broad smile. "Never havin' suffered the joys 'n' sorrows o' love, they look at it sorter criss-cross, an' mebber this 'tin did. Old maids a r e a good deal liko cider—nat'rally turn to vinegar. What wlmmin need more'n all the rest is bein' loved, 'n' if they don't get. it, they sour up in time an' ain't, no comfort to themselves nor nobody else. Then agin, not. havin' no man nor no babies to look arter, they take to coddlin' cats 'n' dogs 'n' parrots, which ain't nat'ral. "I think," continued Uncle Jud, now that we've turned another furrow, you'd best stop a day or two with us, 'n' sorter git 'quainted. We'll be mighty glad to hev ye, me an' Mandy, an' then ag'in thar's a lot o good trout holes tip the brook. We hev plenty to eat, 'n' mebbe a few days here in Peaceful Valley'll sorter reconcile ye to leavin' the gal with us." And nothing loath, Martin accepted. Aunt Mandy and Chip now bestirred themselves a s , never before. The dressmaker was left to h e r own resources, Martin and Uncle Jud rigged flshpoles and started for t h e brook. Chip, with -pail In hand, hurried away to the fields, and when tea-time arrived, t h e big platter of crisp fried trout, saucers filled with luscious blackberries, and ample shortcake of the same with cream that "poured in clots, assured Martin that these people did indeed have plenty to eat. "How did this come to he named Peaceful Valley?" he queried, when they had gathered around the table. "It's very appropriate." "Wal," answered Uncle Jud, "we got. it. from a feller that come up here paintln' picturs one summer, a n , " chuckling, " 'twas all we got for a month's board, at that. He was a short o' skimpy critter, with long hair, kinder pale, and chawed tobacco stiddy. He 'lowed his name was Grahame, that he was in t h e show business 'n' gittln' backgrounds, as he cailed em, fer show picturs. He roved up 'n' down the brook, p.ittin' rocks V trees 'a' waterfalls on paper, alius gittln' 'round regular 'bout meal Ume-^-must 'a' gained 20 pounds while here. An' then one Kontto' h e w a s missin', 'n' so was Aunt Mandy s gold thimble n* all h e r silver spoons. She** sorter took t o him, t o o . h e was that palaveri n ' in bis way." T h e r e now ensued a series of questions from tfnele J u d In regard t o Old Cy—how long Martin had known him, and all that pertained t o his history. It was gladly recited 'by Martin, together with all t h e strange happenings In t h e wilderness, t h e finding of Chip, t h e half-breed's pursuit and abduction of her, and much else that has been told. It was almost midnight ere Martin was shown tq t h e best front chamber, and even then h e lay awakjft an hour, listening t o t h e steady prattle of a near-by brook and thinking of all that had happened. A tone of regret crept into bis voice, however, when, after thauklng Uncle Jud a n d Aunt Mandy, a n d bidding them goodrby, he addressed Chip. "I wish I could take you back with me," h e said; "your return would be such a blessing t o Aunt Comfort and my wife. You may not believe it, but you are dear to them both. I must insist that you at least—pay us a visit soon. Here is your bank book," he added, presenting it. "You a r e rich now, or at least need nevei want, for which we a r e all grateful. And what about Ray?" h e added, pausing to watch her. "What shall I say t o him? Shall 1 tell him to cer—* and see you?" Chip shook her head firmly. "No, no,'J she answered, "please don't do t h a t Some day I may feel different, but not now." C H A P T E R X X V I I I . Sad news arrived in Peaceful Valley a week later, for Captain Bemis had passed on, Aunt Abby w a s In lonely sorrow, and wrote tor Chip to come at once. Her fate was now linked with these people. Aunt Abby h a d been kind and helpful, and Chip, more than glad to return a little of t h e obligation, hurried to Christmas Cove. It was a solemn and silent house she now entered. Aunt Abby, despite the fact that It was not a love match, mourned her departed companion. The mill's pertinent silence added gloom, and Chip's smiling face and affectionate interest was more than welcome to Aunt Abby. And now that concealment was no longer needed, Chip hastened to tell her story in full. How utterly Aunt Abby was astonished, how breathlessly she listened to Chip's recital, and how, when the climax came and Chip assured her that good Old Cy Walker was still alive, Aunt Abby collapsed entirely, sobbing and thanking God all at once, is but a sidelight on this tale. "I couldn't tell you before," Chip assured her, while her own tears still flowed. I was so ashamed and guilty all in one, 1 couldn't bear to. I never did so mean a thing .a all my life, and never will again. Hut when Uncle Jud told me what you didn't, and how much he cared for me, and how you once cared for Uncle Cy, I went all to pieces and told t h e whole story and sent word to Lucie Cy that day. I feel so guilty now, and so mean. I don't see how you can forgive me." Hit. Aunt Abby's forgiveness was not Snow in coming. The past ten days of sorrow had left her heart very tender. In spite of being "book-lamed," she was very humane. Chip's sad life and misfortunes appealed to her, as they had to Uncle Jud, and true Christian woman that she was, her heart opened to Chip. "I hope we shall never be par.'ed while I live," she said, a s the tears came again. "I have no children, and no one to live for but my sister. I am so wonted to Christmas Cove, 1 could not feel at home anywhere else. If Uncle J u d will consent, I will adopt you leglly, and when I am laid away all I have shall be yours." And so Chip McGuire, waif of the wilderness, child of an outlaw, once sold to n human brute, yet fighting her way upward and onward to a better life, despite every drawback, now found a home and mother. No light of education had illumined her pathway, no Christian teaching and no home example, only the inborn and God-given impulse of purity. Relf respect and gratitude; and yet, like a bud forcing its way up out of a muck heap and into the sunshine, so Chip emerged to win respect and love. But all her history is not told yet. She still lacked even a common education. There was still an old man seeking to find her, who was yet wandering afar. A homeless, almost friendless old man was he, whose life had gone amiss, and whose sole ambition was to do for her and find content in her happiness. A wanderer and recluse for many years, he was still more so now, and out of place as well among the busy haunts of men. More than that, he was an object of curiosity ,o all grown people and the jest of the young, as he tramped up and down the land in search rf Cc'n. And what a pitiful fp^est it «v is— his asking the same question thousands of times, this lingering in towns to watch mill operatives file out, this peering into storei a .4 marts, to cc • • ' • • • » . . 1 . . 1 ^ » V i , . 1 ^ * f •'»"•% ^ 1 on again, and repspt i t for months and months. There was still another link in this cnalBr-a boy,, so f a r a s experience gee*, who was only deterred from unwise haste by a cool-headed man. M¥ou had better n o t go to C h i j now," Martin said t o him-on bis return from Peaceful Vallely. "She is an odd child of nature, and you won't lose by waiting. My advice to you is to forget h e r for t h e present, find some profitable occupation, a n d then, when you have made a little advancement in life, go and woo her ir you can. To try it now Is fooysb." It was cold comfort for Ray, One of Chip's first acts of emancipa tion was to write to Aunt Comfort and Angle, assuring both of h e r love aud best wishes, and thanking them for all they had done. Both letters were cramped in cbirography, but correct iu spelling, and in Angle's was a note for Martin, asking that he draw J100 of her, money and send it to her, and as much more to pay some one to follow Old Cy. The latter request Martin ignored, however, for he had already set the machinery of newspaperdom a t work, aud an advertisement for information of that wanderer was flying far and wide. Of t h e money sent her, Chip made odd and quite characteristic uses, imly one of which needs mention—the purchase of a banjo. Had Ray known this, and that t h e tender uXemory i t invoked was t h e reason for this investment, ' he would have had less cause for grief. But Ray did not, which was all t h e better for him. »-fw»3-*-<-a—-s^ GENERAL NEWS OF INTEREST MORSE MAY L I T L O O M A Q R I A T F I N A N C I A L SCANDAL IN NEW YORK. *e ELKINS LAW IN DANGER. A Decision That Would Make all the Victories Over the Trusts Utterly Futile and Void. C H A P T E R X X I X . Life, always colorless a t Christmas Cove, except in midsummer, now became changed for Aunt Abby. For all the years since h e r one girlish ro mance had ended, she had been a patient helpmate t o a man she merely respected. Religion had been her chief solace. T h e annual visit to h e r sister's gave t h e only relief to this motionless life, monotonous as the tides sweeping in and out of the cove; but now a counter-current slowly flowed into it. Chip, of course, with her winsome eyes and grateful ways, was its mainspring, and so checkered had been her career and so humiliating all her past experiences, that now, escaped from dependence and feeling herself a valued companion, she tasted a new and joyous life. So true was this, that hard lessons at school, t h e regularity of church-going, and the unvarying tenor of it all seemed less by comparison. Another undercurrent, aside from Chip's devotion, also swept into Aunt Abby's feelings,—the strange emotion* following the knowledge that h e r former lover was still alive. F o r many years she had waited and hoped for this sailor boy's return; then her heart had grown silent, as hope slowly ebbed, and then, almost forgetfulnt-ss —but not quite, however, for the long, lily-dotted mill-pond just above bad now aud then been visited by them. A certain curiously grown oak which was secluded near its upper end w a s once a trysting-place. and even the old mill with its splashing wheel held memories. And now after 40 years, during which she had become gray-haired and slightly wrinkled, all these memories returned like ghosts of long ago. No word or hint of them fell from her lips, not. even to Chip, who was now nearest to her: and yet had that girl been a mind-reader, she would have seen that Aunt Abby's persistent interest, in all she had to tell about Old Cy meant something. Where he was now, how soon he would learn that his brother was still alive after all the.se years, was the one most pertinent subject oft discussed. How Chip felt toward him. not alone for the heritage he had secured for her, but for other and more valued heart inteipsts, need not he specified. He had seemed almost a father to h e r at. t h e lake. He was the first, o:' her new-found friends whose feelings had warmed toward her, and Chip was now mature enough to value these blessings at their true worth. A certain mutual expectancy now entered t h e lives of Chip and Aunt Abby. Nothing could be done, however. Old Cy had gone out into t h e wide, wide world, a s it were, searching for t h e little girl h e loved. No man ner of reaching him seemed possible; and yet, some day, h e must learn what, would bring him to them as fast as steam could fet'-h him. "I know that he loved me as his own child there dt t h e lake," Chip said once in an exultant, tone. ' H i s going after me proves it; and once he hears where 1 am, he will hurry here, I know."

End of Monarchy Near. The lepublican leaders in Poriugal are In extremely high spirits. They confidently assert that a republic is a matter of months, not of years. An opinion on the situation and an outline of the republican plan of campaign were obtained from perhaps rho most competent spokesman of the party. This man said: "The end of t h e monarchy is nv<\v. It will come as unexpectedly as did the murder of t h e king and the crown prince, and the' world will wake up one morning to find a republic in Portugal. "We are convinced that t h e revolution will he a peaceful one. It ia a mistake for foreigners to imagine that the people of Portugal are not awake. There is a republican organization in every town and doctors, lawyers and even the village priests are sending in notices of their adherence by t h e score, and there a r e avowed republican officers in t h e army.

The storm that had this section in its grasp for five days and in fact the whole state, let up on its fury Thursday evening and Friday was a fairly good day. The snow plow and citizens have done their best to keep the streets clear but it was of nc> use as the snow blew in as fast or faster than they could clean out and that had to be abandoned. Mail carriers could not make their trips although they made the attempt each day. Few teams were in town during the time and business was practically at a stand still. Friday things had changed and a force of men were ordered out and the work of digging out commenced. The walks in town were made passable and in the country the roads were cleared and where that could not be done, fields were opened and roads made that way,until by the middle of tbe afternoon thtre were roads that were passable almost everswhere, and the teams began to arrive in town. Trains on the M. A. L. were mostly on time only where they waited to accomodate passengers from other roads. Trains on other roads ran when they could but many were taken off entirely until after the storm let up as there were not snow plows enough on the lines to keep the tracks clear. From Old B o y s .

He surveyed several houses from their back yards to make a selection for burglary when he espied a figure walking in rear of a house that flouted ou another street. Keenan laid luw uud watched. Was the person bent on the same purnose as himself? He soon discovered that the figure was a man and was walking )» and fro, keeping an eye on an upper rear window of the house he was behind. Keeuan found a loose fence picket and with it stealthily approached the figure. There was a thud, a murdered man, rifled pockets and a body thrown in an open bunker of the house the figure had been watching. Then Keenan went off with a gold watch and chain and a hundred dollars lu money. Not long after the murder Keenan, who was In a distant city, saw It stated In a newspaper that Hugh Gregory, the owner of the house In the bunker of which the body had been found, had been arrested for murder. The article also stated that Gregory was past fifty, the murdered man under twenty-five. The young man was Everet Sturgis and a visitor at Gregory's house. The chain of evidence connecting Gregory with the murder was not given. Those sly fellows—the policewere too smart to give anything away before the proper time. It was this matter of the police that Interested Keenan. They had once proved him guilty of a crime he had not committed, and he was curious to know how their Ingenuity would work in proving a man guilty of a crime that he (Keenan) had committed. So he laid low, living on the proceeds of the murder and taking no great risks to get more. He was absorbed In what was called the Sturgea murder case. Some of the papers sneered nt the police, accusing them of endeavor lng to find in Gregory a victim in whom to hide their stupidity. When Keenan read thiB he chuckled. He believed that was their object. Then came reports of the trial, which the real murderer read eagerly. So convincing were the arguments of tbe prosecuting attorney that Keenan almost believed himself Innocent of the murder ami Gregory the guilty one. But when the prisoner's counsel took up the case he could see no possible ohance of the prisoner's conviction. One thing puzzled him—all tlu> reports stated that Gregory looked aud acted like a guilty man. The next statement Keeuan read filled him with wonder. Gregory had been convicted, and soon after his conviction he had confessed. Sturges hart been a suitor for his daughter's hand. Gregory had bitterly opposed him. On the ulght of the murder Gregory bud gone to bed, to awake nt midnight with nn unexplainable conviction that. Sturges was prowling near tbe house for the purpose of eloping with tbe girl. Gregory for some time thought he had dreamed that he saw Sturges walking without, but so etroug was the conviction that this was really so that he got up, dressed, went downstairs, took a stout enne from the hall, went out, found Sturges and struck him a blow, from which he sank down. He had no remembrance of putting the body in the bunker and supposed Sturges must have dragged himself there and died. When Keenan read this confession he gave a long low whistle of astonish ment. Then ho began to wonder if he had not l>eon dreaming himself and Gregory had not, after all, killed Sturges. However, he still had Sturges' watch, which he had not dared to sell or pawn, and it was convincing proof that he was the murderer. He puzzled for weeks what he had better do. He had no Idea of giving himself up to rfuve an innocent man, but ho hated the police and burned to show up what he considered their inefficiency. One night Keenan cracked a crib and made a fine haul of ready cash. Then he laid a plan. He bought n second class ticket on a steamer bound for Chile. Just before the steamer sailed he expressed a small package to the judge l»efore whom Gregory was tried and at the same time mailed the judge a letter. In half an hour after doing this he was nut on the Atlantic ocean. This Is the letter he wrote the judge: Peri* Juge. Thft pollen^h a lot o' bloket. I got out from behind the bars wan day, and thnt nlto w a s lookln' fur a crib to crack. I spoited a man watchln'. I killed him and took thf; swag and dra^KM him into the bimkfT.

The young woman (and the woman who looks young) has an unlimited field of choice. A world of millinery is spread out before her admiring gaze; iure to look well with her youthful contour and the fresh complexion of girlhood. The always popular felt is shown in Fig. 1 with a trimming of velvet and roses, and a big fancy feather, bouyantry springing out at the left side, l a Fig. 2, a pretty silk hat is shown with a big bow of ribbon which is a great favorite at present, and is seen in all the range of colors. These are examples of smart and practical styles. Each firl will find a hat suited to her own particular face, and individual style, and needs only to exercise her own good judgment in making her selection. r '^^ws^wwNA<v^rw|si|^,»^^^»** SEPARATE COATS IN , L I G H T M A T E R I A L S • ^ ARE NOW IN ORDER. Separate coats, less warm and heavy than those of the winter season but made upon similar lines, are appearing with the southern models, aud among the prettiest of these are loose threequarter or seven-eighth coats of heavy crepe d©-chine handsomely embroidered or lace trimmed. One perfectly ;J|*vere coat and skirt of white serge has a plaited skirt and a smoker coat whose lapels are faced smoothly with heavy white silk. A folded waistcoat, crossing in surplice fashion and held by two big silkcovered button*, is of the silk, anil the blouse belonging to the costume is of finest batiste/ hand embroidered, Valenciennes frilled, and, with titter disregard to the usual laws concern ins lingerie blouses, trimmed in bands and hnttons of the whjle silk. The lingerie dreys is a decorative part of the gown collection of the woman who, tiring of bleak winter, goes to meet the "iy jjiaV fr j f T U M T with many members ejt tfcV^marfi^t, Rumor h a t it that tho fascinating little pfifecess dress with square, V or round aaek and guiltless of Bleeves, will proife a strong rival of the dainty nock of white, blue or pink batiste elaborately trimmed with Valenciennes, cluny or meehlin lace combined with real or good machine embroideries. In all probability both fashions will have a goodly degree of success. Gold Muff Chains. Muff chains are no longer worn around the neck, as they were in former times. Instead, they are slung from one wrist. All the muffs sold this year have a silk cord loop in one end, of such length that it slips over the arm and yet allows the4 hand to be deeply buried in the muff. This does for the woman who is not luxurious. She who is wears on her wrist a chain of gold links, sometimes jeweled, sometimes firmly attached to the muff by a small ring and sewn inside of the latter, or again finished with a patent; clasp which can be attached to the hand-warmer at a moment's notice. When opening her purse or otherwise using her hands the muff hangs on t&s cord or golden support, which is qff a length sufficient, to allow the free use of the hands. T U R B A N S OF P U R P L E W I T H BLACK WINGS STYLISH AND SMART. Stiff little turbans 'in purple, with large black wings, are stylish, and are worn as frequently with suits of navy blue as with black, indeed, the day of the suit hat seems past, and, while for economy's sake a somber-colored suit is chosen, and must last two seasons, the style in hats changes so radically that even the most hardened economist dares not try to carry over a hat from one year to the next. Therefore, all one's light-heartedness ^an safely be expressed in frivolous headgear - without one prick from u penny-saving conscience. For those who have reached the toque age, which cannot be defined by years, there are some happy thoughts. They have not been overlooked by the purple wave, and can find "just what they want" in velvet of this shade, trimmed with jet, or, still more charming, in purple pansies. One such toque had the entire crown Bfttd band across the front, the light aide and back covered with pansies set close together without foliage, and on the left side a dark purple velvet bow fastening in place a fancy goma in gray and purple, II •frayj n • 11 i .

No Food Commissioner of Any State Haa Ever Attacked the Absolute Purity of Grape-Nuts. Every analysis undertaken shows this fopd to be made strictly or Wheat and Barley, treated by our processes to partially transform the starch parts into a form of Sugar, aud therefore much easier to digest. Our claim that it 1» u "Food for Brain and Nerve Centres" is based upon t h e fact that certain parts of Wheat and Barley (which we use) contain Nature's brain and nerve-building Ingredients, viz.: Phosphate of Potash, and the way we prepare the food makes it easy to digest and assimilate. Dr. Geo. W. Carey In his book on "The Blochemic System of Medicine" says: "When the medical profession fully understands the nature and range of the phosphate of potassium, insane asylums will no longer be needed. "The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, potassium phosphate. "This salt unites with albumen, and by the addition of oxygen creates nervefluid, or the gray matter of the brain. "Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve-fluid, but potassium phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life. Therefore, when nervous symptoms arise, due to the fact that the nerve-fluid has been exhausted from any cause, the phosphate of potassium is the only true remedy, because nothing else can possibly supply the deficiency. "The ills arising from too rapidly consuming the gray matter of the brain cannot be overestimated. "Phosphate of Potash, is to my mind, the most wonderful curative agent ever discovered by man, and the blessings it has already conferred on the race are many, But. 'what shall the harvest be' when physicians everywhere fully understand the part this wonderful salt plays in the processes of life? It will do as much as can be done through physiology to make a heaven on earth. "Let the overworked business man take it and go home good-tempered. Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung from attending to sick children or entertaining company, take it and note how quickly the equilibrium will be restored and calm and reason assert her throne. No 'provings' are required here. We find this potassium salt largely predominates in nerve-fluid, and that a deficiency produces welldefined symptoms. The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies—this is the only law of cure." Please observe that Phosphate of Potash is not, properly of the drugshop variety but is best, prepared by "Old Mother Nature" and stored in the grains ready for use by mankind. Those who have been helped to better health by the use of Grape-Nuts are legion. "There's a Reason." BRAIN POWER Increased by Proper Feeding. A lady writer who not. only has done good literary work, but reared a family, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food for brain work and to develop healthy children. She writes: "I am an enthusiastic proclaimer of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I formerly had no appetite in the morning and for 8 years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for them. "Unable to eat. breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pantry and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, doughnuts or anything I happened to find. Being, a writer, at times my head feft heavy and my brain asleep, "When I read of Grape-Nuts I began eating It every morning, also gave it to the children, including my 10 months old baby, who soon grew as fat. as a little pig, good natured and contented. "I wrote evenings and feeling the need of sustained brain power, began eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts with milk, instead of my usual Indigestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at night, "I grew plump, nerves strong, and when I wrote my brain was active and clear; indeed, the dull head pain never returned." POSTITM CEREAL CO., Ltd. Battle Creek, Mich A H A N D AS A CHARM. Chinese Nun's Self-Mutilation to Show Retigioua Devotion. One has but to contemplate the dreadful deeds to which the superstitious fervor of the religious zealots of heathen gods lead to realize the darkness of heathendom and the light and liberty which the Gospel brings. We give above the sketch of a Chinese nun made from a p h o t o - graph. She is now Chinese Nun and 80 years old. Mummified Hand. Twenty-and -three years ago she cut off her left hand as an act of devotion to an idol, and dried the hand in the sun. Since then she has worn It round her neck in mummified condition, as a charm against evil. A W O N D E R F U L WORK. Missionary Development in China a Monument to the Christian Workers. Had Protestant missionaries done nothing else in China than prepare and publish the books issued by them in Chinese; start the schools; writ> ten the books in English, containing narratives of their own travels, and accounts of the natives, and of their religious customs and manners; translated native works; instructed the youth of both sexes, and founded hospitals and dispensaries—had these, we say, been the only things accomplished by Protestant missionaries, they would have done a noble work; but added to all these more secular labors is the directly religious work of preaching the gospel, that and Bible distribution, visiting, gathering together the converts, etc., all of which, though less appreciated by the general mercantile community of China, has been as signally successful as the other class of undertakings. J. DYER BALL. Small Contributions. The bishop of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Michigan complains that the Sunday contribution box collections in the fashionable churches in the diocese do not average over three cents for each worshiper. This looks small, though a good deal depends on the size of the congregations in reckoning up the aggregate. In one of the most popular of Boston's churches, says the Boston Herald, where the seats are free and reliance is placed on the free offerings, the contributions are said to average five cents for the morning and four cents for the evening service throughout the yeav. The congregations are very large, however, and the total of the contributions is reckoned satisfactory. Average contributions of but three cents from a small and select congregation of fashionable worshipers ought to be made unfashionable some way or other. They are very small potatoes. To Teach Ministers Sociology. The Presbyterian department, of Church and Labor will attempt a new method for training ministers in applied Christianity. It is said that in spite of the training received in theological seminaries, thousands of ministers in the cities have not been adequately prepared for their work. The seminary faculties insist that this lack of preparation is due to changing social conditions. It is planned to meet the needs of these men through a correspondence course in sociology, having special reference to the peculiar conditions in their local fields, so that they may deal with them in an up-todate manner. So-called city missionary work will be reduced to a science, so that hereafter ministers will be relieved from the embarrassment, of a blundering experiment. Work of Native Mission Society. The report of the National India Missionary society, which has jutft been issued, is very encouraging. Organized Christmas, 1905, with the purpose of enlisting the native Christians in aggressive Christian work for their countrymen, It. has establishRd over 100 branches In the Punjab, United Provinces and South India, started a magazine, collected funds, and begun work in the Montgomery district in the Punjab. There bave been 29 candidates for service, two of whom wore women. The first man to represent the society as a missionary la Mr, .lames Williams, who is described as having, "strong sympathy, great earnestness, and the gift of imparting knowledge ar<l enthusiasm to others.'' ,.

The Monitor. She- was mamma's joy and comfort, . and when her parents went to town for a short visit she was instructed to look after her younger brother and sister and faithfully report any misbehavior on the part of either of the young hopefuls.

"Jack—Two spits and one dam." SHE C O U L D NOT W A L K For Months—Burning Humor on Ankles —Opiates Atone Brought Sleep —Eczema Yielded to Cuticura.

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

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

THE REVISED CONSTITUTION , 18 NOW REAEtKtfft* TME v P * 0 W , I * .-^-, v.. •.* i t WHEN SHALL THEY VOTE Th« Q< ittion of Submission For th* Vote of the People Goes to the Supreme Court at Once With a Salary Tag. The revision of the constitution is how as much a fact as the convention can make it and' final judgment now rests with the electors of the state. Saturday the revision as a whole was placed on passage and unanimously adopted, the vote standing 88 to 0. Instead of adojurnlng sine die the convention adjourned until March 3, but further business was suspended and all employes discharged except those on ihe secretary's staff, and the latter will continue on the pay roll until that time. During the interim they will be kept busy getting the addresses ready for mailing. There were several reasons for adjourning with date. A contract had been made with the stenographers, giving them $1,200 additional to make an index of the debates. The auditorgeneral refused to pay this on the advice of the attorney-general's department, where it was held that the convention had no right to contract debts beyond the life of the convention. Then Secretary Kind's friends got busy and he was % Med $750 addittonal compensation, which was put in the form of a contract, so as to give him a claim against ihe state. Although the convention decided to submit the revision in the fall instead of at the Bprlng election the committee on permanent organization recommended that action be taken to secure a judicial decision from the supreme court as to the right of the convention to act independently of the legislative enactment. To bring this about a provision was added to the schedule ordering the secretary of state to forthwith notify tiie sheriffs of the various counties of the submission of the revision at the fall election. By agreement they will refuse to do this and aii order to show cause will be asked for. The matter was placed in charge of a subcommittee consisting of Delegates Campbell, Pratt, A. L. Moore, Gore and Wykes. Tbe order to show cause will be secured from the supreme court and the matter will be heard Thursday, so that a decision can be had in plenty of time, In the event that the court holds against the convention, Delegate Kykes will propare the case for the convention. If the convention, wins, the result will mean that it has authority to vote money to whomsoever it pleases ad libitum and the claims of the secretary and official stenographer will be presented to the state board of auditors for payment. As a matter of fact the continuation of the convention and the payment of extra compensation ia nothing more than a species of pettty graft that the state has been subjected to for many years through the manipulation of the legislature. There is absolutely no need for an index to the journal, and tho indexing of the debates should have been made a part of the original contract with the official stenographer, who has received $500 a week for tho work, Who Is the Liar? The scandal in the committee on naval affairs of the house over the rejection of Ihe administration's naval program for more battleships and a voluntary increase of four submarines, followed so speedily by the demand of Representative Lilly (Rep. Conn.) for an investigation, threatens to turn the lower branch of congress upside down. It reached the "you're a liar" stage Saturday, Representative Lilly being placed in hot water because of published reports that he had charged the Electric Boat Co., of New Jersey, with having "fixed" both the Republican and Democratic congressional committees. He got it from Demo- Chairman Griggs and Republican Chairman Sherman, and passed it on to several newspaper men with interest and all kinds of vituperative flourishes. Lilley denies that, he made any charges against, the chairman and in their presence accused a correspondent with having "maliciously lied." Griggs accepted the explanation in bad spirit. "Suffice it to say," he exclaimed, "that either the person who wrote the charge or said it is a common liar." Sherman declared that, if Lilley said what, has been attributed to him he was "a mendacious liar." but he said he felt, sure that Lilley would not say any such thing. After a conference with Speaker Cannon, Lilley announced that he had agreed to put his charges against the. submarine company into writing at. an early date and submit, it to the committee on rules, which has the matter under considration.

"Is the story true t h a t tribute is beinj-' collected from gambling joints and immoral places in this city." They then partly answer their question by sayinr that Prosecuting Attorney Hitchcock has received an inkling of the alleged grafting and is looking into the matter. \\\ J. Daunt, manager of a Bay City theater, was acquitted on the charge of keeping his amusement house open on Sunday. The case was tried nude, the new ordinance prohibiting the opening of theaters on Sunday and was made a test case. His attorney attacked the legality of the ordinance. The fact that there wus but one witness to swear the theater was open leaves the test up in the air.

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

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

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

The question of adopting the ne.v constitution may just as well be submitted at the spring election as to be postponed until the fall election, a8 its rejection by the people is already a foregone conclusion.

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

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

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

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

Prof. Schuster assorts that animals lack moral feeling entirely, none of their acts beiug immoral or moral, in the broad sense, and that they have no trace of a sense-of shame or of honor. Their courage, he declares, is "a mere impulse of nature," and of moral courage they know nothing. He continues: "And animals have no. pride, in the sense of man's conception of ibat quality. They are not proud of their kind, of their kindred, of their individuality. They neither have an Individuality nor are individual. Animals are not proud because they have 10 consciousness of the scope of the value of their kind, of their enterprise or of any other form of their capability; they are neither supercilious, proud, nor the contrary, that is, grieved, wounded or depressed fn re gard to a possible pride." &•, ftff V 3 ;M '.-fc Great Chilean Salt Deposits.

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

Hejiorts of bad silver dollars being passed in the northern part of the state have been frequent for some time past, but it seemed impossible to get a clue as to who circulated them. Suspicion fell on a woman named Smith, who lives on a farm with her husband near Woodville. When Deputy V: S. Marshal O'Donnel) arrived at their home the couple indignantly denied any knowledge of bad money.

Leo Helnrich was shot and killed by Guiaeppe Quarnaceto, an anarchist and priest-hater, white the priest w*J» administering the sacrament at «arjj mass in St. RfttabetaV ftomaV Catholic churoh, in Denver, on Sunday. Kneeling at the altar rail, between two women, Guarnaccto pressed the muzzle of a revolver against the body of the priest, after receiving from him the consecrated wafer, and shot the priest' through the heart. Exclaiming, My God. My God," Fr. Loo fell iu front of the altar and died. In all the 1,900 years of history_pf the Roman Catholic church, members of its priesthood in Denver declare, there is no record of a tragedy to parallel that of the killing; of Fr. Leo while administering the sacrament. This crime, they say, will stand out as one of the most fearful in criminal records and its perpetration may result in the canonization of Fr. Leo as an American martyr of the church, in whose service he fell while performing hip duty. After the shooting, while the priest was falling with the holy vessel tightly clasped in his hand, the assassin sprang into the aisle and waving the smoking pistol about his head, dashed to the church door. A woman shrieked and the congregation became panicstricken. Several women fainted and several others became hysterical. A number of men, including Patrolman Cron:.n, overtook the Italian on the church steps and overpowered him after a desperate struggle. He said he was sorry he could not kill all the priests. The church iu which the killing occurred will have to be reconsecrated before services can be again held in it. The services arc exactly similar to those held when the .church is first opened.

At about 11 in the forenoon each week-day in summer, Uncle Joe Barnes on. his lumbering two-horse stage, arrived from Greenvale, phased at the post ofhee, threw off a mail-pouch, thence.around to the Quaboag bouse stable, and cared for his bprses. At two he was ready for the return trip and mounting bis lofty seat, he again drove to the front of the hotel, shout lug "AH aboard!" dismounted to assist lady passengers, but let masculine ones do their own climbing, and after halting to receive a mall-bag, again departed on his return trin, A certain monotonous regularity was apparent in every move and every act and function of village life in Riverton. At precisely seven o'clock each morning the two landlords appeared simultaneously and banged their gongs. At 12 and six, this was repeated. At eight o'clock the three principal storekeepers usually entered their places of business; at nine, while the academy bell was ringing near by, every village doctor might be seen starting out. At ten exactly, Dwight Uennett, the cashier of the bank, unlocked its front door, and the two hotel 'buses invariably started so nearly together that they met at the first turn going stationward. Even the four church clocks had the same habit, and it was often related that a stranger there, a traveling man, on his first visit, made an amusing discovery. "What kind of a fool clock have you got in this town?" he said to Sam merited upon and discussed W-^H* coterie.

This was Rlverton and its jd>cJde,dJy rural status when late, one Dtaonmber afternotm the Quaboag free 'bus (a two-seated pung, this time) swept up to that hotel'*, front door, where the porter assisted a stylish young Jady to alight, and he, stepping like a drum major, led the way into the Quaboag's unwarmed parlor. "Young ludy, sir, u stunner, wants room over night, sir," he announced to the landlord in the office a moment later. "Goin' to Greenvale tovmorrer, she says." On the instant all converse in the offlc^ ceased, and the six constant callers hardly breathed until Sam Gates hastened to the parlor and returned. "It's that McGuire gal—lady, I mean." he asserted pompously; then the porter, "Git a move on, Jim* 'n' start a fire in Number t>. an' quick, too!" And hastily brushing his untidy hair before the office mirror, he left the room again, followed by six envious glances. Then those astonished loafers grouped themselves, the better to observe the passage between parlor and office. Only one Instant sight of this important guest was obtained by them aa Chip emerged from the parlor and followed the landlord upstairs, and then the hushed spell was broken. "By gosh, it's her!" exclaimed one in an awed whisper, "an' Jim was right, she's a stunner!" "What do ye s'pose she's -here for," queried a fourth, "to draw the int'rest on her money, or what?" It was precisely four forty-five when Chip appeared before the judge and jury of all Riverton's happenings. At five forty-five they had agreed that she was the handsomest young lady who had ever set foot in the town, that she must be going to get married soon, and that her mission there was to draw out a few thousand dollars for wedding finery. Then they dispersed, and at six forty-five, when they assembled at the Quaboag again, half of Riverton knew their conclusions, and by bedtime all knew them. By eight-thirty next morning, this all-observant and all-wise clique had. gathered in the hotel office once more, an unusual proceeding, and when Chip tripped out, eight pairs of eyes watched her depart. Then they dispersed. At nine o'clock Chip walked up the stone steps to the bank door, read the legend, "Open from ten a. m. to two p. m.," turned away, and once more resumed her leisurely stroll up and down the street while she peered into store windows. At ten precisely by the four clocks she was back at the bank again, and the cashier lost count of the column he was adding when he saw her enter. \ "I would like $300, it you please, i sir." she said, presenting her little | Miss Phinney book, and he had to count it over four ( changed, and knew it began clanging again, and I counted 44. What sort of time do you trifles,—a fishing-rod for Uncle Jud. a k e e P here> anyway? Do you run your pipe for Martin, gloves for Aunt Abby, and so on. Then as that seemingly vast fortune, now hers to spend, occurred to Chip, and her sense of obligation as well, the intended gifts increased in proportion until a costly picture of some camp or wildwood scene for Angle and a valuable watch for Miss Pninney were decided upon. Her plan as to how to obtain these presents also teolc shape. Riverton was the only place where they conld be obtained. To that village she would go first, obtain the mDn65r needed, devote one entire day to making her purchases, and then go* on to Green* vale-and astonish these good Mends from whom she was once so eager to eacatpe. it was all a most delightful episode .which was now anticipated by Chip. Again and again she lived it over, especial!> her arrival in Greenvale, and how like a Lady^BrHmtlftH she would present her glftB to her friends. So eager was she thus to make Some compensation to them that lessons became irksome, the day seemed weeks in length, and she could scarce sleep when Jxnltinie came. But the Bltfw days dragged by At last, and then Chip, happier than ever before In her life, dressed in her best, bade Aunt Abby good-by and started on her journey alone. town by the multiplication table?" The half-dozen loafers who met every afternoon in the Quaboag house office arrived in about the same order, smoked, drank, told their yarns, gathered all the gossfp, and departed at nearly the-same moment. Their evening visits partook of the same clocklike regularity. These of the old guard were also dressed much the same, and "slonchy" best describes it. Gray flannel shirts in winter or ,summer alHce. Collars, cuff a, and ties were never Seen on them, though patches 'were,- and as for shaving or hair-cutting, a few shaved once a weekv some never did, and semiannual haircuts were'aiafr average. The worst sinner in this respect. Luke Atwater, occasionally called "Lasy Luke," never had his beard shortened but once, and that was due to its being burnt off while he was fighting a brush fire in spring. H was related of him, and believed by many, that once upon a time many years previous he had had his hair cut and on that occasion the barber had found a whetstone concealed in Luke's shock of tangled hair. It was also asserted that he admitted always carrying his whetstone back of his ear while mowing, and so losing it that way.

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

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

The following is his reply, which I would like to have you priut for the benefit of those who think prohibition kills a town. Yours Respectfully, T. C. Williams. Birmingham, Mich., Feb. 18,1908.

Too Slow to Bo • Soldier. Iu a room ou the top floor of a large factory a boy was amuslug himself by going through the bayonet exercise with a long handled brush in lieu of a rifle. His boss, coming quickly upon him, gave him a box ou the ear for wasting his time. The sudden blow caused the lad to lose his balance and fall down tbe hoist shaft, but fortunately he kept his hold on the brush. the handle of which, getting across the shaft, broke his fall and enabled him to grasp the chain, down which he slid In safety. The boss was horrified at the effect of his action and rushed breathless aud gasping with fear dowu the eight flights of Btalrs to the basement, expecting to And a mangled body for 'which he would have to account, lie was, however, just in time to see the lad drop on } s f.'et uu harmed, so, recovering self possession and his breath, he exclaimed: "Want to be u soldier, eh?

Toward tho Pole. Ice eight feet thick on the ocean and avow falling even In summer—such Is the weather experienced in the polar rogions. When the air is dry ai 1 still it is remarkable how low a temperature can be borne with ease. One explorer tells us that with the thermometer at 9 degrees it was too warm for •Hating. The summer weather in this region is, moreover, In some respects pleasant and healthful. Within the arctic zoue there are wonderfully colored sunrises aud sunsets to be*-seeu. Thoy nre both brilliant and impressive. But the nights-the nights are monotonous and repelling. A rigid world buried In o , o:ln:<th;^ snow, silent save for the cracking of the lee or the wall of the wind. Travelers in these re (,'ions expenenee. 'many discomforts. The keen air causes their skin to bum anil blister, while their lips swell autl crack. Th'ust, again, has been much complained of, arising from the action of the low temperature on the warm body. Only Night Air at Night. Speaking of Florence Nightingale and her efforts to keep the world healthy, it seems pertinent to make special mention of her mission In behalf of the open window at night. In the early years of her labors much unintelligent opposition to this method of ventilation because of the supposed harmfulness of the night air was expressed, but Miss Nightingale had one stock argument in support of her position, it being the question, "What air shall we breathe at night but night air?" It was unanswerable from her opponents' point of view, even If It did not always convert them, but it did lead a countless number into saner ways of living and along the way to the present methods of treating tuberculosis.— Boston Transcript.

Many a gambler en route for Monte Carlo will not gamble that day if he meets a funeral. Others will bet only at rouge et nolr and persistently on the black.

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

At *»y rate the skipper had his linger within a couple of inches/of the electric button ready to yresaxlt and ttrus discharge tTie six Inch gun/ when -the apprentice Was off the job. Standing just outside the conning itewe'r and having from that position ^ view of the gun ahead to be Bred, ther youngster observed that the breech of'the six-inch gun hadn't yet been closed, and there was the skipper on the very pin point of touching the button t4at would Are/the^ gun with the unlocked breecb. If tbe gun went off in that condition there was the finest kind of. a chance for the recoil of the immense piece to drive the gun right through the ship's bottom'. ' The apprentice didn't have much time to think, but he didn't need much. He figured It all out In an instant that if he yelled at the skipper that the breech wasn't locked the suddenness of the yelr might so startle the skipper that his fluger would involuntarily come down on the button anrl thus discharge the gun. The boy's ship's knife with the big blade was in his left hand shirt pocket hanging there for its lanyard. He had it out and the blade open in un incredibly short space of time, and he made one catlike dab with the sharp blade of the knife at the electric wire belonging to the button that led right alongside where the buy was standing by the conning tower. The bla.de cut (Jhe wire in two a fraction of a second before the skipper's ringer reached the button, breaking the electric connection and in every likelihood preventing a tremendous calamity. The boy was enly ti tyke and not very strong, and just as soon^«as'"he slashed the wire he fell forward on his face iu a dead faint—an odd'thing, too, that, ' for a boy serving on _ a inan-o'-war, and yet, the incideut wasn't any ordinary one. The skipper rafted his head the instant he touched the button and saw what bad happened; the loose ends of the cut electric wire, the prone boy and all the rest of it. Then he darted out of the conning tewer and saw the breech of the big gun still unlocked. He understood it all long before the boy was brought around W ^ ^ g c m * ^ / 'That boy had no ajwiner flnUhed^fs days of apprenrtoeSJt| il before he,wore the, .warrant ofll^eVs uniform of a gunner. l.:**,^' ."9* lifirV 6f Pauperi. abtfc-bodied paupers ;fsV fatjjj»l|ay fWr I ract. of jwliftc' land, contsflltfg JiMft acrqs, ft divided Jnto six model farms, to one of which the person applying for public, relief is sent.

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

January 3,1856 be married Elizabeth Shell, and about I860 they came to Michigan. To them were born three sons and three daughters,all of whom are' living. Hie wife died in January 1901 and April 28.1903 he married Mrs. Harriett Brown of this place, the marriage ceremony taking place at Butternut, bis home. Tbey came at once to this place where he lived until the time of bis death which took place Mar. 1, 1908. During his lew years here be bad made many friends, and won tbe res. peet of all who knew him. Early in life he was converted and joined the 91. E. church and has lived consistent christian life all his years. Tbe remains were taken to his former home, Bloomer Centre, for bur* ial March 5,-1908. To be good and do good are tha two great objects set before the Christian; to develops a perfect character by renering a perfect service. True Christian culture leads to and expresses itself in service, while faithful and loving service is the best means of Christian culture. Such was the daily life ot Mr. Boyer. Living is death; dying is life:— On tl.is side of the grave we are exiles, on that, citizens; on this side captives, on that, freemen; on this side disguised and unknown, on that side, disclosed and proclaimed as the sons of God. Ob, DeSth! We thank thee for the light that thou wilt shed upon our eternal existance. Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven. Those Uectures. A Warning. CAM 0 7 THAHES. We desire to thank all who so kindly assisted us during the last sickness, death and removal of our loved one to his last resting place. Tour kindness will never be forgotten. MRS.

Of course there are two outside exists bnt only one sfaitwav to reach them. 4)o the doors of al! pnblic buildings open outs'de, according to law?

When it was announced two weeks ago that Mrs. Norine Law would speak on tbe subject of temperance in the opera bouse fox several evenings, even the committee had no idea of the talent that was coming and were surprised as well as were the hundreds who did turn out to listen to her logical, convincing proofs of the evil of the drink traffic. It is safe to say that in the whole history of this village, there has never been a more forceful speaker than Mrs. Law, ever on the platform here. The weather and going was bad but there was an increasing attendance overy evening and had she remained longer .the hall would have been inadequate to hold tbe crowds, and it is safe to say that if she should ever visit here again, when the going was good, it would not take only the announcement of her name to pack the house to the doors. In the matter of duty, she placed the matter before the men in her audience in sucL a forceful manner that 1 there was no fair minded one who ooald dodge the issue, and just bow far her remarks had to do with the sweeping vicLory ot the Citizens tickon Monday, will never be known. Abont thirty of the young people of this vicinity went to the home of Air. and Mrs. John White, Saturday evening to give their son, Ben a surprise in honor of bis 21st birthday.

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

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

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

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

Belleville, (14mllesfhwiSt. U n i t ) I I I . . ., ^ O r i g i n a l . ) I was »tamliw« liKSuiy. the ry.ilmid track uu a desolate prairie of Manitoba waiting ioi- a Iran).

I had Uvea ty minutes to wait for the train, which I must flag myself. The engineer, however, In so sparsely a settled country would have uo objection to atopr plug for the purpose of taking on a single passenger. Half the time had elapsed when, hearing a footstep crunching on the snow behind me, I turned and saw a man approaching. As he neared me i noticed that he carried bis right aim in a sling and had his overcoat buttoned at the throat over the arm. A felt hat was d r a w n down to cover his face, so that I would not see much of his features. When he came and stood beside me, looking up the track for the train, i saw that he had dark, sandy hair and a red beard, a rather unusual combination. "Train on time, sir?" he asked. "Don't know," I replied. "I don't fancy waiting long for it here." The man seemed nervous. He cast a glance at me that made me uncomfortable. He was an ugly looking fellow, and if he were prepared to do so it would be an excellent place to murder and rob me, then hide my body in the snow and escape by the train wrheu it came. \'I don't tike the looks of this mist in the air," he remarked. "Singular, isn't it? I don't know that I ever saw anything j u s t like it before. Hello, there's the train com- Ingl" It sprang suddenly into sight without a sound to give us warning. 1 jumped off the track on which I was standing, then waved my handkerchief for it to stop, which It did, but some 200 feet before it reached us. Seizing my satchel, which I had set on the end of a tie, I ran np the track to get aboard, followed by the man who had joined me. Cut before we had covered a quarter of the distance the train disappeared as suddenly as if it were a ghost train run by ghost officials. 1 stared for a few moments a t the place where it had been, then glanced at my companioVi. He was looking up the track with the most terrified expres sion I have ever seen on any man's face. "Did you see it?" I asked. He didn't hear me. He was muttering incoherently and acting in other respects like one demented. I tried to reassure him by telling him that we both were «o anxious for the train to come that we had created it in our imaginations—a very lame explanation, by the way—but was unable to quiet him. Suddenly I saw him looking out over the snow with a new and heightened terror in his eye. I followed its direction, and there out on the prairie was the train running along as smoothly as if it were still on the rails. So intense was my astonishment, so I eerie the feeling the phantom train < Rave me, that I forgot my companion | completely till, hearing a groan, I looked about and saw him lying writhing' in the snow. This startled me, and 1 forgot the train in the responsibility of being out on a broad prairie with a man who might be in a death struggle. There was little I could do for him except got his head ou my knee, and, taking a flask from my satchel, pour a drink of whisky down his throat. While he revived, he did not recover his head even twelve 'minutes later I when the train—the real train— preced ed by a rattling ou the rails and the usual clatter, steamed up and a t my signal stopped beside us. The conductor, standing on a platform, saw me beside the sick man and, jumping off, assisted me to get him aboard. A number of persons were crowding around the invalid, gapiug at him, when one of them, a trainman, exclaimed: "I'll bet that's Dan Horganl" "Who's Dan Hnrgnn?" I asked. "One of The men who threw the train off the track two weeks ago. killing the engineer, fireman and several ".ficeaiea aw laentity for the re he bad intended to risk I learned that the phantom train w;ts due to the mirage not uncommon in liaolteba.

The man who's guilty conscience waa moved by the steaming apparition to give himself away turned out: to be indeed the leader of the band that had wrecked the train and thus committed murder. F. A.

The school building was supposed to be practically modern, although erected three 6r four year* ago. The school children had been given fire drills, and were supposed tq. be, in training, for just auch an: emergency. When the crucial moment arrived the drill was forgotten and not the slightest effort to effect an orderly or prompt escape availed. Victims Practically Incinerated. As soon as firemen and volunteers could, .get dose «ouy*b, attempts were made to pluck, bodies; from the death heaps at the doors. It was found that the flames had practically incinerated the bodies. Firemen with rakes, forks and shovels turned up blackened bones, little blackened skulls and masses of charred ttfSe$\ but bodies recognisable as auclrwere no longer 40 be fofctrd. A fearful stench added to the horror of the scene". Miss AnuAv Moran, tfye: ffincipal of the achqol. who eacaped, says that the children made a taad rush1 far the1 door as soon as the alarm,of . , 4 M was sofmded, but were drlveri' p&cfci by the chinking-'' smoke.

The hallways were narrow and could not accommodate ihe large number that attempted to rush through them to reach the main tlnor. Terrible Scenes Enacted. Fearful scenes were enacfed around 1lif burning schoolhouse. Fathers and mothers raved, cursed or prayed.

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

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

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

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

A number of exceptional: opportunities will be offered this spring by the Government for enterprising and intelligent farmers to secure choice farms on a dozen or mora large irrigation projects which are now nearing completion. Owing to the rapid narrowing of the limits of the unoccupied public domain, it is doubtful if these opportunities will ever occur again. It is probable, therefore, that the West will see one of the greatest influxes of homeseekers in 1908 that has been witnessed in many years. The great fertility and wonderful crop yoilds from irrigated lands, and the favorable terms the Government offers settlers, warrants the belief that before the year closes not a single farm will be without an enfcrymatt. These farms are located in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Nevada. A letter addressed to The Statistician, TJ. 8. Reclamation Service, Washington, D.
