The party reach camp of Mrs. Friable/» father and are welcomed, by him and 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 realises this but Cy Walker. Strange canoe marks found on lake shore in front of their cabin. S t r a n g smoke is seen across the lake. Martin and Levi leave for settlement to get officers to arrest McGuire, who is known as outlaw and escaped murderer. Chip's one woods friend, Tomah, an Indian, visits camp. Ray believes he sees a bear on the ridge. Chip is stolen bv Pete Boldue who escapes with her in a canoe. Chip is rescued by Martin and Levi as they are returning from the settlement. Boldue escapes. Old Cy proposes to Ray that he remain- In the woods with himself and Amzi and trap during the winter, and he concludes to do so. Others of the party return to Greenvale, taking Chip with them. Chip starts to Bchool in Greenvale, and finds life unpleasant at Aunt Comfort's, made so especially by Hannah. Old Cy and Ray discover strange tracks in the wilderness. They penotrate further into the wilderness and discover the hiding place of the man who had been sneaking about their cabin. They investigate the cave home of McGuire during his abaence. Boldue finds McGuire and the two fight to the death, finding a watery grave together. Ray returns to Greenvale and finds Chip waiting for him. Ray wants Chip to return to the woods with them, but she. feeling that the old comradeship with Ray has been broken, refuses. When they part, however, it Is as lovers. Chip runs away from Aunt Comfort's and finds another home with Judson Walker. Sho gives her name as Vera Raymond. Aunt Abby, Aunt Mandy Walker's sister, visits them, and takes Chip home with her to Christmas Cove. Chip goes to school at Christmas Cove. 8lie tells Aunt Abby the story of her life. Aunt Abby tells her ot their family, and site discovers that Cy Walker is a long-lost brother of Judson Walker, but fear of betraying her hiding f>lace prevents hor -telling of Cy. Old Cy nvestlgates McGuire's cave in the wilderness and finds a fortune that belongs to Chip. Old Cy returns to the wilderness camp with the news that Chip had disappeared nnd proposes to start out to find her. He turns over to Martin a bank book showing a deposit of $60,000 in Chip's name. Chip returns to the homo of Judson Walker ut Peaceful Valley for a summer vacation. Chip tells Judson of summer vacation.

He gives Chip -her money and asks If he shall send Ray to her, but nho 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 been lost at sea. 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. Ray and Levi return to the wilderness camp and find Cy. They tell him of his brother and the Ending of Chip. Chip spends Christmas at Greenvale. Old scenes bring back her love for Ray. Chip again at Christmas Cove with Aunt Abby is visited by Ray, and all the differences of the past are forgotten in the bliss of love. CHAPTER XXXV.—(Continued). Old Cy evidently felt it a subject to avoid, and not until the next day did he even ask how Aunt Abby looked or what had been her life experiences. A little of this reticence wore away in due time, however, and then Aunt Mandy once more referred to her sister. "I kinder feel you blame Abby somehow, Cyrus, the way you act," she said, "and yet thar ain't no cause for it. She'd waited 'most seven years. We'd all given you up for dead. And life in Christmas Cove wa'n't promisin' much for Abby." "I don't blame her a mite,'* Old Cy answered quickly, "an' no need o' yer thinkin' so. I don't blame no woman fer makin' the best shift they kin. They've got to hev a home 'n' pertecter, bless 'em, or be nobody in this world. Comin' here and findin' how things are, sorter makes me realize how much I've missed in life, though, an' how much sorrer I've had to outgrow. I don't lay up nothin* "gainst Abby, not fer a minit. Only I hated to hev ye tell me what I knew ye'd hev to, that fust night." "But you're fcoin' to see her. ain't ye, Cyrus?" Aunt Mandy asked anxiously. "Ye won't shame her by nor goin', will ye?" "Wal, mebbe." he answered slowly. and after a long pause. "1 wouldn't want to hurt her knowln'ly. I callate I've done more grievln'n she has. though, ten times over, an' seeln* her r's a good deal like openin,' an old ;tom>—* pmer laVKK J**-tt °,\ ol4 Heartache* to • « * " oatr Mbhf% oat* growed* the old time*, 'a* "I'm sartln, too, won't be the happier by eeeln' me" a^m, I may »e wron*\ tfct Tvfe *sf notion tb&Vk' sorter hate- t o s e e me. Twaa to keep ber from f*efU»* Shamed n' mlterable 'ri* apoMfl1 her life, I've never let,her nor nobody that knew. her find out I was alive. I'm doubtin'. I would now if she hadn't lamed it, from Chip." He.relented a little from iaits straoget and. almost cruel whim a week later* and after visiting the Rlggsvllle store and obtaining what really amounted to a disguise in new garments, he announced his plans. "I've got to see Chip," he said, "an' see how she 'n' Ray's gittln' on. I've got to see Abby, I s'pose. I want to, an* I don't want to, both In one. Then ag'in, these two young folks—Chip 'a' the boy—hev sorter got tangled up in my feeiin's, 'n' 1 can't rest content till I've seen 'em settled in life. I'm goin' to Christmas Cove fer a day. Then back here till they hitch up, 'n' then— wal, then mebbe r'd better go to the woods ag'iii. T ain't fitted by natur l'er dreBsed-up folks." No opposition to this uuseemly outcome was made by Uncle Jud or Auut Maudy. They knew, or hoped, the leaven of bygone memories and association would change the hermit-like impulse of Old Cy, and all in good time a better eud^ug of his life would seeru possible to him. To argue it now was apparently useless. A man so set in his ideas as to remain a homeless wanderer for almost a lifetime, was not to be changed iu a month, or perhaps in a year. Neither did Old Cy seem in a hurry to visit Christmas Cove. "I don't look nat'ral or feel nat'ral in them new clothes," he said to Aunt Mandy one day, "an' while I want to see Abby, I've lived in the woods so long I'm sorter 'shamed to go 'mongst respectable people. Then I look like one o' them wooden men dressed up in a store winder with that new rig on, an' jest know folks'll all be laughin' at me. I've got to go, I callate, but I'd like to make the trip in a cage. I'm sartin sure Abby l laugh at me arter- Tve Had a Short Spell o'joy. der chorda rtfctalmMt tftngoutta tfcelot t!r?ih ily de we strife to en 4& gifriea 4 i ^ more, ^ h ^ l l fdor Wfcr < 1 heajj • 4wtt>s beat against'its adamant'walls, vainly do we hope to catch just one more of the. old bygone thrills, it is -useless, for none can live life-over, and once age has locked the portals of youth and fervor, they are never opened agaiu. £ .f-?r-:ti .1 1 GREAT WIALTM- ACQUIRED IN V. : ^ tylOWfMfi GRAIN, wards." From which it may be seen how hard it was for Old Cy to fit himself into civilized life once more. He nerved himself for the trip to Christmas Cove in a few days, however, and how he met and renewed acquaintance with his old-time sweetheart shall be told in his own words. "Abby hain't changed near so much as I callated," he said on his return; "a leetle fuller in figger. but jest the same easy-spoken, sweet sorter woman I always knew she'd be. She was 'lone when I called, an' fer a minit arter we shook hands neither on us could speak ag'in. Then she kinder bit her lip 'n' swallered her feeiin's, keepin' her face turned away, an* then we sot down 'n' begun talkln". It was techin", too, the way she acted, fer she kept tryin* to smile, 'n' all the while the tears kept startin'. It was like one o* them summer days when the rain patters while the sun is shining'. I don't think she noticed my clothes much, either, an' we sot up till 'most midnight talkin' over old times. It all turned out 'bout the way I 'sperted—a sorter funeral o' old hop«s with us two fer mourners. She's powerful considerate, too, Abby is, for the timp we was talkin' she never once spoke o' Cap'n Bemis, 'n' I didn't. It was jest ez if we started in whar we left orf, 'n' skippin' the gap between. She lowed she hoped she'd see me soon a^'in. that she felt like a mother to Chip; an' whon I bid her good-by. she kinder clinked once more. j "I rHd:>'t see much <V Chip, cither, whi^h sorter hurt me. Take it z\\ in j all. my visit thar upsot. me. more'n III callated, 'n' I guess wh^n Chip's seftit'd, I'd best so to the woods 'n' forqir all that's past. My life's boon a failure, anyway." Love in youth is a sweet sons; of ioy and hope and promise. But love that spans a lifetime, that reaches and CHAPTER XXXVI. With September came a supreme event' in* the lives of Chip and Ray, when Mr. and Mrs. Friable, Aunt Comfort, Miss Phinney and Hannah, Uncle Jud and Aunt Mandy, and Old Cy.'all gathered in Aunt Abby's quaint parlor to see her aged pastor join their hands and lives. Then came the kisses, the congratulations, the rice, and oldshoe throwing, and then solitude and tears for Aunt Abby. All the wedding guests except Old Cy hied themselves away with the now pair, and he left for Jiayport. And thus closes the history of Chip McGuire, waif of the wilderness and slave of Tim's Place. Bless her! Twu days later Old Cy returned. No one was iu the house when he knocked at Aunt Abby's door, and then, led perhaps by the invisible chord that spanned 40 years, he slowlystrolled up the path beside the oldmill pond, which he and she had often followed in the old, old days. His heart had led him aright, for there, at the foot of the ancient oak that had once been their trystingplace, she sat. "I thought I'd come over 'n' bid ye good-by, Abby," he said gently, as she arose to meet him. "I've been doin' a good deal o' biddin' good-b^ to-day. I bid good-by to the old graveyard whar my folks is; it's all growed up to weeds n' bushes, I'm sorry to say. But that can't be helped. It's the way o' natur. I've been down to the p'lnt whar you 'n' I used to go, an' I bid that good-by," he added, seating himself near her. "Ye 'member it, don't ye, Abby, n' them days when we went thar to watch the waves?' "I do, Cyrus," she answered., her voice trembling. "I remember all the old days only too well." "They all come back to me, too," he continued in a lower tone, "an' I wish I could skip back to 'em, but I can't. I'm an old man now, an' no use to nobody, n' not much to myself. I've been a wanderer many years—y£ know why, Abby. I've had a short spell o' joy, kinder helpin' this boy n' ^al into sunshine 'n' a home. They've gone their way now 'n' sure to forgit me an' you. It's nat'ral they'should, n' all that's left me is to go back to the woods 'n' stay." He paused a moment, glancing up the narrow pond to where it ended In shadow, and then continued: "It's curis, Abby, how life begins with how-de-do's 'n' smflin* friends n' cheerin' prospects, n' then ends with goodbys n' bein' forgot. It's what we must callate on, though, an' a good deal like a graveyard is left to weeds 'n' bushes." , Once more he paused, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a time. "Wal, I might as well be goin." he said* finally, rising and extending his hand, "so good-by. Abby. I wish ye well in life." "But is there any need of it?" she answered, turning her face to hide the tears as his hand clasped hers. "Why, no, only to fergit my sorrer," he answered; "I can't do it here." "But who will care for you there—at last—and—must you go?" Then she turned to him again. And then he saw, not the gentle, saddened face upraised to his, but. the tender face of sweet Abby Grey of the long, long ago. "Must you leave us—me?" she whispered once again. "Wal, mebbe not," he answered. THE END. Writing t r o » BfeaUtbon, Saskatchewan, Canada, W. H. Ellwanger, who was formerly a resident of Green Mountain, Iowa, says: "The climate in summer la idea] for. growing giwin. Long, clearways, of e u n a h ^ ^ p p , bad storms.

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

Financial Statement. Ike Lucky Qoarttr. Is the one you pay out for a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills. They briny you the health that's more precious than jewels.

Yet forestry is practiced by every civilized country in the world except China and Turkey. It gets results which can be got in no other way, and which are necessary to the general welfare.

Coulter, a prominent arzhitect, in the Delbert Building San Francisco, says: ''I fully endorse all that has been said of Electric fitters as a tonic medicine. It is good for everybody. It corrects stomach, liver and kidney disorders in a prompt and efficient manner and builds up the system."

If Japan follows np what seems to be her determination in fastening a quarrel o n China, it will mean the practical subjugation of the Middle Kingdom to the J a p - panese. This will put off the ultimate war with the United States for perhaps a decade, but it will leave Japan stronger financially and territorially than she was before, and will make her all the more formidable when the ultimate trial of strength comes between the Orient and Oxident World. That such a crisis will come, and that within comparatively few years, no student of politics doubts. Get DeWitt's Carbolized Witch Hazel Salve. It is healing, soothing and cooling.

Water, looked upon as the tames{ of liquids, Is as great an explosive as dynamite under certain conditions. In one day water breaks up more earth and rock than all the gunpowder, gun cotton and dynamite In the world do In a year. These explosives can be controlled by human agency, but water does not hold Itself accountable to man. It runs into the ground, freezes, expands and splits the soil into little pieces. Finding a crack In a huge rock, It repeats the same process, forclng'lt asunder.

"Why, you see, I was out shooting one day when I found a large, handsome dog lying on the ground moaning with pain. Some ruffian had shot It to the leg. I carried It home, bandaged the wound and finally cured the poor beast. Some months after that I was tompelled to travel a lonely road after dark when suddenly Ponto, who accompanied me, growled warningly. The next moment a highwayman steppad out of the bushes and put a pistol to my head." "Ah," cried the listener, "I seel Thereupon the grateful dog seized the robber by the throat" "Not at all.

SIX OPINIONS WRITTEN «o the New Constitution M«y Be Weil Considered Before t h e Voters Decide On Acceptance or Rejection. The auprenie court has decided that the new constitution must be voted on at the Xovember electlou according to the contention of the constitutional convention. The court was very much divided on .the question, five of the judges holding for submission in November and thr«e standing opposed. Six opinions were written. Justice Carpenter, in an opinion, eaya that while he agrees that the convention had no authority to ttx the date for the submission of the constitution and that the duty belongs to the legislature, yet he believes that the constitution itself axes the date by implication in November, when all the electors of the state are most likely to go to the polls. It Is pointed out that, as the constitution stood prior, to 187l>, a revision must be t>ul>- mitted to a vote of the electors at a biennial November election, and that this language can mean nothing else than the next biennial November election. It la held that in extending the former constitutional provision giving the legislature authority to propose amendments, the people did not grant the legislature any new authority respecting the submission of a new constitution. Six opinions were filed by the court. Judges Carpenter, Moore, Grant, Blair and Ostrander holding that the constitution must be submitted in November, while Judges Hooker, Montgomery and McAlvay concluded that the legislature's power to fix a date for submission is ample. In a separate opinion of the court it is held that no election need be held In Detroit April G for the submission of the proposed amendment to tho present constitution. Try to Break Will.

Ames says he had been threatened a number of times by McClelland and therefore carried a revolver. T h e men had many disputes about trivial family affairs. Liquor also played a part In their troubles. Mrs. McClelland had recently notified saloonkeepers not to sell her husband liquor but he managed to get it anyway. MICHIGAN BRIEFS.

If, however, it Is not genuine White Lead, or jf it contains the slightest trace of adulteration, the change will not take place. Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an absolute and final one. The National Lead Company are urging everyone Interested in painting to make this test of puint before using" it, and they guarantee that the pure White Lead sold under their "Dutch Boy Painter" trade-mark will always prove absolutely pure under the '"blow, pipe" or any other test.

An enthusiastic New Yorker recently watching a game of hurling—which resembles lacrosse— between stalwart teams, was moved to ask President Conway of tho Irish Athletic association how far a good man could drive t h e ball. "Well, I'll tell you." responded Mr. Conway, with a twinkle in his eye that contradicted his serious speech. "In the good old days when Cuchulllin was champion of Ireland, the king and all the nobility were assembled at the great games of Tailtin. CuchuiHin struck up a hurley ball into the sky, and then walked off to his pavilion and took a drink of potheen, and strolled back to the spot in good time to catch the ball on his hurley."—Harper's Weekly.

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

Tbe result is, that he finds himself the defendant in a firstclass Breach of Promise Case and bio questionable attitude towards tbe widow will be given an airing in the near future. The parties in the case are so prominent that it is leaved no court room will bold the vast crowd desirous ol attending the trial, so it will be bold in Pinckney Opera House, on Tuesday evening, April 7th, under the auspices of tbe Christian Endeavor Society for whose benefit tbe proceeds will be devoted. In other words, it will be a Mock Court Trial, and it promises to be one of the moBt enjoyable affairs of many years, as a large number of onr leading people will participate in the proceedings. The committee having the trial in charge have engaged Col, A. V. Newton, the well known lawyer-lecturer of Worcbeater, Mass,, to attend to tbe details and personally conduct the entertainment. Col.

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

ComiiiisaioiuT ol Immigiati-m, \yrinnil)es- Dear Sir: II ia with pleasure that I reply to your request. Some years ago I took up u houieaiead for myself- and also one lor inv aon. "Hap half seption which W$ own is situated between Kmileau and Drlukwater, adjoining l!u> Moose Jaw creek,, is a low level and heavy land. We put in 70 acres of wheat in stubble, which went 20 bushels IO the acre, and 30 acres of ssumnu. y frtjluw, which went 23 bushel* to i l l , acre, All the wheat we harvested i W year 'is No. 1 hard. That rri'eans Hie best wheal-Miat; can be raised on tlue&mb. We did nut sell any wheat yet as we./intend to keep one part for /11111 own seed, and sell the other part to people who want first-class seed, for there is no doubt if you sow good wheat you will harvest good wheat. We also threshed 9,000 bushels of first-class oats out of 160 acres. 80 acres has been fall plowing which yielded 90 bushels. • per acre, a^nd 80 acres stubble, which went LJ0 boshela io the acre. These oats are Hie best kind that can be raised. We have shipped three car loads of them, and got 5o cents per bushel clear. All OUT-grain was cut in the last week of the month of August before any frost could touch it. Notwithstanding the fact that we have had a late spring, and that the weather conditions this year were very adverse and unfavorable, we will make more money out of our crop this year than last. For myself 1 feel compelled to say that Western Canada crops cannot be checked, even by unusual conditions, I am. deai' sir. Yours truly, (Signed) A. Kaltenbrunner. W H Y T H E Y SLEEP IN CHURCH. Hypnotism,- Not Orowsinets, Declared to Be the Cause. "Churchgoers don't sleep in church. They undergo an hypnotic trance. The soothing' voices and mild rmisie and monotonous recitative of tt church service put forlh powerful hypnotic influences,' and that is why the pews resemble a railroad track in the abundance of the$r sleeper*," The speaker, a hypnotist, banged i lie table' vehemently. "Don't laugh," he saiil. "It's true. Hypnotism, not drowsiness, is what makes you sleep in church. Through \odr auditory nerve sound waves are I>ass"d to your brain that are as effective., a l t h o u g h a professional hypnotist 'fipd made them. Sound, you Unotf. is the newest and hest hypnotite. "Ait first, in the church service, the l.eritdieity of the wave alterations in short. There is n little speaking, ihcni more music. And just when you are setting properly lulled the clergyman, in a modulated, agreeable, soothing voice, speaks on and on and on— and you begin to nod. You are, hypno' icallv speaking, entranced. -Hie* average church service is 9 scientifically correct hypnotic instrument. No wonder, then, it puts many of ir& to sleep." Beyond Him. On the occasion of the production of Lucia" at the Metropolitan opera house last winter a well-known clubman, who had taken a cousin from a Connecticut town to hear Donizetti's great work, turned to his relative during the first intermission and asked how he Itked the opera. Oh, pretty fair.", said the visitor; "but is the whole blamed thing in I/aMn?"—Hartwr's. Never clothe yourself In the armor of independence, but rather cultivate Mi'* good-will of your fellowmen.

This is not the only age in which motor cars have created excitement and disturbance. In 180U such apparitions were few and far between; at present they are too ff»qftieptr to aU tract attention. Mr. Josejih Uatton, in "Old Lamps and New," tells of the fright caused by one of Trevithlck's steam locomotives, made to run on unnailed roads in the early part of the last century.

He flung the gat© open with trembling hands, and teeth which chattered audibly. The driver asked hini how much toll there was to pay. "O, nothing, dear Mr. Satan, nothing!" hastily assured the man.

"I had eczema on my hands for about seven years and during that time I had use^d several so-called remedies, together with physicians' and druggists' prescriptions. The disease was so bad oh my hands that t could lay a slate-pencil in one of the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not touch the pencil 1 kept using remedy after remedy, and whfle some gave partial relief, none relieved a» much as did the first box of Cuticura Ointment.

The 8tat« of Wyoming will shortly throw open for settlement under the provisions of the Carey act of Congress <J45,- 000 acres of irrigated government land in the Big Horn bsain. This affords an opportunity to aeciire an irrigated farm at low cost and on easy payments.

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

On the average farm the following of this practice all through the yea)- would result in less loss than any method that, could be pursued. Thf* use of_ rotted manure rather than fresh manure is desirable in connection with many market garden or vegetable crops, as it gives quicker results and with root, cvotfs will g i v a smoother and nicer product. Ma lure should be spread as soon as i.1 is hauled to the field. The practice of putting it in p'iles is objectionable because .f the loss that i* likely to oc eur.

It is made by corroding metallic lead into a white powder, through exposing it to the fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic acid gas; this powder is then ground and mixed with linseed oil, making a thick paste, in which form it Is packed and sold for painting purposes. The \ painter thins it down to the proper consistency for application by the addition of more linseed oil. The above refers, of course, to pure, genuine White Lead only. Adulterated and fake "White kead," of which there are many bcands on the market, is ; generally some sort of composition containing only a percentage of white lead; sometimes no White Lead at all; in such stuff, harytes or ground rock, chalk, and similar cheap aubstances are used to make bulk and imitate th«; appearance of pure White Lead. There is, however, a positive test by which the purity or impurity of While Lead may be proved or exposed, before painting with it. The blow-pipe flame will reduce pure white lead to metallic lead. 11 a supposed white lead he thus tested and it only partially reduces to lead leaving a residue, it is proof that something else was there besides white lead. The National Lead Company guarantee all White Lead sold in packages beariug its "Dutch Bey Painter" trade mark to prove absolutely pure under this blow_-pipe test, and that you may make the test yourself In your own home, they will send free upon request a blow-pipe and everything elsenecessary to make the test, together with a valuable booklet on paint.

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

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

He lives without shelter or food for the morrow, perpetually moving from encampment to encampment, Chased by the police and execrated by the villagers. Ills greatest pride Is a successful burglary and a prolonged drinking bout his most coveted reward. Jail offers no terrors to the dom. It is merely the result of being a bungler at his trade. The first attempt to reclaim the Maghaya doms in Champanin was made by Mr. (now Sir K.) Henry. He found the greater number of the adult members of the tribe were In jail. Every police officer was held responsible If any doms were found in his jurisdiction, with the result that aa soon as a dom was released from Jail he was usually returned thither nnder the bad livelihood sections. Agricultural settlements were established for the tribe, but they do. not •Mm to have been very successful as civilizing agencies. The settlements serve as houses for the women and •JUldren, but the men are seldom found In them. The females generally hawk stolen property in the villagee and act as spies.—Bengal Gasetteer.

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

"Oh," I gasped. "I'm all right now." And I was aide to look steadily ai the gruesome surroundings and the dreadful burden on the slab. "Is Hits the man'.'" asked tective "Yes." "His name'.'" "Dudley James Dudley." I wa.- rpiite willing TO transfer the whole of my identity to the dead, and changed the (.liles to James. "'Was he a relative7 " I shook my head, though I could not have said why i denied it Then, iu answer to the detective's question.

'Ihe main parr of the work can be done in winter, assuming that the roots are obtained before the ground ia frozen too hard. Roots from nursery trees of medium size about one year old are beat. T h e scions may be cut any time before the buds swell. The grafting may be done any lime in winter iu the farm workshop or basement.

D e t e c t i v e C o o g a n air, and looked at menf. "J don't see your said. "I'm giving you the straight facts," 1 said sullenly, a little disturbed by his manner and tone, "Well, in that case. I'd expect you to keep the straight facts to yourself, my boy." It was my turn to be astonished. "Well, that's my lookout." 1 said with assumed carelessness. "I don't see through you." said the detective with some irritation. "If you're playing with me to stop this inquiry by dragging in—well, we needn't use names—you'll find yourself in the hottest water you ever struck." "You can tlo as you please," I said coolly. The detective ripped out an oath. "If I iaiew you were lying. Wilton, I'd clap you in jail this minute." "Well, if you want to take the risks—" I said smiling. He looked at me for a full minute. "Candidly. I don't, and you kuow it," he said. "Hut this is a stunner on me. What's your game, anyhow0 " I wished 1 knew. "So accomplished a detective should not be at a loss to answer so simple a question." "Well, there's only one course open, as I see," he said with a groan. "We've got to have a story ready for the papers and the coroner's jury." This was a new suggestion for me and 1 was alarmed. "You can just forget jour little tale about the row iu the alley.' he continued. "There's nothing to showthat it had anything to do with this man here. Maybe it didn't happen. Anyhow, just think it was a dream. This was a water-front row—tough saloon—killed and robbed by parties unknown. Maybe we'll have you before the coroner for the identification, but maybe it's better not." I nodded assent. My mind was too numbed to suggest another course. The gray dawn was breaking through the chill fog, and people were stirring in the streets as Detective Coogan led t h e way out of the morgue. As we parted he gave me a curious lock. "I suppose you know your own business, Wilton,' he said, but I suspect you'd he a sight safer if I'd clap you in jail." And with this consoling comment he was gone, and I was left in the dawn of my first morning in San Francisco, mind and body at the nadir of depression after the excitement and perils of rhv night.

Then cut a slit one-half inch long, parallel to the cut just made, forming a tongue, and with its point a little below the middle of the slope. Then, taking a piece of root five or six inches' long, cut it in precisely th*- same way as the sclou, so that t h e two fit together and correspond. Join scions and roots of the same size, so that the cut edges will fit well. If a number of scions are ctp at the same time it will be easier to find one which will fit each root as it is cur. .When mot and scion are fitted together, says Farm and Home, hold the graft firmly, and with the spliced part between the thumb and forefinger, take a piece of waxed thread in the right hand, put the end of it under the left thumb to hold it fast while the thread is passed around the graft and made to bind down the end. Wind the thread, or roll the graft in the left hand, so as to bind the cut surfaces together, and snap off the thread without tying it. as the wax will hold if in place. T h e tying is a very simple operation, and children can learn to do it. but cutting and fitting the graft should be done with care. Tie the completed grafts in bun dies and store away in sawdust or similar material until planting time, keeping them in a damp, cool place where they will not freeze, and where mice will not get at them. At freeplanting time set them out in rich, mellow soil, placing them deep enough to cover the point of union. If kept cultivated these grafts should make good growth the fi:\st season.

Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale.

The tale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and furnished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally.

John Dinkel Monday was a fine day for town meeting and there was a large crowd all day. Everyone had been busy last week and all kept busy until the polls closed.

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

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

The long delayed trial of Rei>- Chas. K. Ward, or Bancroft, was be gun before Judge Connolly in the rec eider's court of Detroit Tuesday morn ing. Mr. Ward is charged with man slaughter. On April 22, 1907, Edith Presley, a stenographer in the employ of the legislature at Lansing, was criminally operated upon In the Hope Sanitarium or some other place in Detroit. A week later, on April 29, she died in the sanitarium from the ef f e d s id the operation. Two men were held responsible for her death: Dr. Ceorge A. Flitch and Hep. Charles K. Ward. The former is accused of having performed, the lat ter of having procured the criminal operation. Technically both are charged with manslaughter. The relations of Ward and Mis? Presley exceeded the bounds of platonic friendship and Ward's letters to the young woman found among her be. longings breathe the most ardent affection man is capable of entertaining toward a woman^To what extent ha is legally responsible for Miss Presley's death now remains for a jury tc determine. A year haw passed since the tragic event, a n - the hand of fate has since dealt harshly with the defendant. His wife's father has since died, his own father died, and he himself, by the unsettled state of his own future, has moved about from one place to another. He is now employed in Chicago, where his father and fath er-in-law had extensive interests. He came into court hooking as well and cheerful as h£ ever did, however. All traces of nervousness and anxiety, which a year ago reduced him to a physical wreck and brought on him a severe spell of sickness, have disap peared. Mrs. Ward, a gooddooking and charming young woman, accompanied him to t i e court room, and took a seat at his side at the table. She follows the proceedings with great Interest and with a woman's keen eye scrutinizes the jurors as they are being examined. Ward Is represented as formerly by State Senator Arthur Tuttle, Rep. William C. Manchester and James A. Murtha. Assistant Prosecutor Phattk D. Eatnan is safeguarding the lntereats of th© people. Besides, Trees Are Putting on Extr^ Thick Bark. Jim Tompkins, the Mt.

Mr. Tompkins again bases his pre diction on the habits of the bears which he state's are more numerou? in the lower valley than last year and are foraging almost in the dooryards of ranchers 1o fatten up for a "powerful spell of killin' weather." "Them snowstorms, we had last winler," says Mr. Tompkins, "won't be a marker to what we'll ketch this winter Every sign known to natur' is hollerin' it out loud, and the bear?; comin' iu close to town is a sure sign, "Another is the bark on the trees.

Strong language is used by Mr. Calhoun in urging a vigorous prosecution of all these claims and he holds that: "The time has come for language stronger than lhat employed in a request. * * * and iT the demand be met with procrastination or refusal, the dignity nf this government would seem to require prompt and vtgoroita action." He quotes Secretary Fish as saying: "It is useless to attempt to exhaust justice in a country where there is no justice to exhaust." No suggestion or recommendation is made by either President. Roosevelt or Secretary Root in transmitting the* correspondence to the senate. Root'*; letter enumerates the documents which are transmitted and the president's letter is simply a formal statement that the resolution of Senator Lodge has been complied with. peared, before his mother one day his little face guiltily painerl and a scratch upon his hand.

Henry VIII. of Kngland, l>eing at one time at variance -with Francis I. of France, decided to send an ambassador and to charge him with a very tierce and menacing message to this prince. He chose for this office an English bishop in whom he had great conildence ami whom he believed would be the most proper person to carry out his design. II1H prelate, being informed of the nature of Ids mission and fearing for his life should he treat with Francis ia the haughty manner his master desired, represented to the king th" danger to -which he was exposing him and begged not to be sent on this mission. "Oh, never fear," said Henry. "If the king of France should kill you, I will have the head of every Frenchman I find in in.v kingdom." "I believe you, sire," replied the bishop, "but permit me to assure you that of all the heads you will cut off there la not one of them that will fit on my body as well as my own!" People of this d a f and a g e of the World are ever delving ior «old that dollars of wealth may be added io their storehouses; but the intellectual gotdeu nuggets that are strewn along our pathway, we, so many of us, tail to pick up, thereby eupoverisbiug our mental lives. T h e above proved true to those who (ailed to attend the Livingston county tt. S. institute that was held at Howell A piil 1 2. The weaf her was not inducive to a large audience but, nevertheless, a goodly number of delegates liotn different parts of the county and the workers from the various Howell Sunday school* were preseut at each session, i l a u y earnest aud good thoughts were presented by different local taient, together with Kev. Hood of Albion; Rev. F. L. Curry aud Kev. David Howell, both of L a n s i n g ; \). U. Allen of Three Oaks a n d Mrs. Fred Washburn of Hentou Harbor, who are ever busy in their various churches, gave the audience to understand that the Sunday school was one ot the greatest factors in our churches today and that they loved the cause, were willing to give ot their experiences that we of this county might be benefited. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year:— Pres., G. II. Clmppel Vice Pies., (_'. 1). Austin Secty., Miss Julia Hall Treus., Mack Curtly. A Vice President was elected from each township aud it is hoped that one day S. S. convention can be held in each to.vnship, where a Sunday school is held, during the coming year. The Vice Presidents are as follows. Conway—•Frank Curtis Cohoctuh—Win. Reader DeeriieldGeorge Killen Tyrone—F. J . Kirschrnan Handy—Ci. L.

Death Was On His Heels. Jesse P . Morris, nf Skippers, Va. had a close call in the spring nf 1906. He says: " A n attack of pneumonia left me so weak and with such a fearful cough that my friends declared consumption had me, and death was on my heels. Then I was persuaded to t r y Dr. Kings New Discovery. It. helped me, immediately, and after taking two and a half bottles I was a well man again. 1 found out, that New Discover} is the best remedy, for coughs and lung disease in all the world."

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

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

"Don't you think it would be only fair if you were to tell me something of your plans?" Mr.. Hobson continued presently. "You have never eVen given me an outline of your aspirations." The girl looked at him suspiciously, but his face was perfectly grave. "Well," she commenced energetically, "when I first went to college 1 did not think any more about such matters than other girls; but in a year or two I commenced to see what a useless life I had always led. As I saw what nobility there was in the lives of the distinguished women I met at our receptions and reunions, my brain and mind expanded, and then I learned that I could never settle down to a cdmmcmpiaw life agaU*. I thought it all over carefully, and wondered what I was meant to be for.

It was with difficulty that he refrained from taking this "new woman" in his a n u s in the old-fashioned way. Allie had been in a chronic state of riding a hobby without curb or bridle ever since her return from Yassar. She gave readings and recitations only to prove the capacity of woman for independence. Her father was Clifton's leading citizen, so there was no want of money, but Miss Bowen would not accept a penny she did. not earn. She looked on men as creatures to be endured and freely denounced love as a delusion and marriage as a mistake, binding people together so as to have double misery and hardship aud only a single chance to rise. Her father laughed at her goodnaturedly; her sister Henrietta, said: "You will get over it in a few months, wait until Bob Hobson comes out of the west. The girls were perfectly wild about him last year." Robert Hobson was not a man who was easily daunted, and he had not weathered two strikes in ('ripple Creek without learning a little diplomacy. But the training of four years was not to be broken up In a few days, nor weeks, as he discovered. And the next month he went back to Colorado alona, in anything but a cheerful frame of mind. Allie's father expostulated mildly once or twice, and her sister Henrietta lectured her soundly, for she knew that it was not every day that the right man falls in love with a girl. Henrietta's handsome young husband had closed his eyes forever on this world during the springtime of their lives, and although electing to travel life's journey henceforth alone, she desired for her sister the happiness that had been hers for so brief a period. After Robert's departure Allie did not appear to find the usual pleasure In her various fads. Somehow they seemed less important than formerly, and her plans for remodeling the world were in danger of falling through, when one day as she returned from delivering a lecture on Higher Kthies before the Ladies' Aid society her father entered the room with a newspaper In his hand and asked her if she could be brave. Instinctively her thoughts flew to Robert, and she held out a shaking hand for the paper. It contained a short, article with glaring headlines, telling that the mining*camp of Cripple Creek, Col., had been almost entirely destroyed by fire. Several lives had been lost and many lay at the point of death. The fire department, had proved inadequate to contend with the flames, and the miners had turned out bravely to help. One, the superintendent, of the Anaconda mine, by the name of Robert Hobson, while trying to rescue some children from the second story oi the Palace hotel, had fallen through and was carried out. almost, lifeless. That was all. Not a word to tell whether he died after that or not. "My Clod, save him and forget me!" gasped the girl, sinking to the floor and burying her face in the couch. J A moment later she was on ner feet again; her eyet heavy, juUerable, but reaolutff. »• "Father, I am golug to atar.t for Col ori*Jo tb-nliM- If .you cm»00t go with me, Henrietta will!" Apd Heurietta did. In A few hours they were lu a Pullman on a westbound train. They left it for a stage at picturesque Manltou on the mora lug of the third day, but Allie had no eyes for the grandeur of the moiinlaina; the long journey wus a, tragedy ro her. All day long the stage, going at n moderate pace, befitting the severe grudeb of the primitive road, literally climbed into the recesses of the Rockies; traversed deep canyons, and clung to narrow shelves cut on the side of the rocky barrier. Toward evening it dashed noisily down the side of a Hteep mountain and rolled iuto a charred, blackened, smoldering, forsaken-looking place, with only a few isolated cabins left to murk the once nourishing town of Cripple Creek. In the tent which served fin the stage office, the slaters learned where I he invalids were being cared for, and thither they went. When they reached the- entrance of the shack Allie sank down on the rough step. -"I cannot go another step, Henrietta," she said. It was not necessary, for just at that moment the door opened, and on the threshold stood a tall young man with a bandage across his forehead, a scar on one cheek, and his right arm in a sling-—a pitiful-looking object, truly. Allie sprang to her feet. "Bob!" she cried. Henrietta strolled away to inspect the ruins. "Dearest," Hobaon said, when earth and heaven had oncQ more assumed t h e i r proper relationship, "your aspirations will be realized after all. I am badly in need of a nurse, and as soon as I'm uble to tmvel we will take Henrietta with -ws and visit the Philippines—on our wedding trip, you know." Cocktail* for His Tobacco.

English Baronetage. The English baronetage is fairly fruitful of romances. A cabman baronet who resides at Burton-on-Trent, Sir Walter Tyrell, can trace his descent, from the Sir Walter Tyrell whose arrow killed William Rufus in the New Forest so many centuries ago. The ancient borough of Tamworth boasts a tobacconist baronet, Sir Harry Goring, who serves working men customers with ounces of thick twist, his family estate having long ago vanished into the ewigkeit. The master of t h e Whitby Union workhouse, John Lawson, has ,\ well-founded claim to a baronetcy conferred in Stuart, times. Sir Thomas Kchlln. who died last year, was a constable in the ranks of the royal Irish constabulary, and the seventh holder of a haronetcy conferred so far back as 1721.—London Mainly About People.

Good Humor and Cheerfulness from Right Food. Cheerfulness is like sunlight. It disinds the clouds from the mind as sunlight chases away the shadows of night. The good humored man can pick up and carry off a load that the man with a grouch wouldn't attempt to lift. Anything that interferes with good health is apt to keep cheerfulness- and good humor in the background. A Washington lady found that letting coffee alone made things bright for her. She writes: "Four years ago i was practically divert up by my doctor and was not expected to live long. My nervous system was in a bad condition. "Hut I was young and did not want to die so I began to look about for the cause of my chronic trouble. I used to have nervous spells which would exhaust me and after each spell it would take me days l>efore I could sit up in a chair. "I became convinced my trouble was caused by coffee. I decided to stop it and bought some Post urn. "The first cup, which 1 made according to directions, had a soothing effect on my nerves and 1 liked the taste. For a time I nearly lived on Postum and nte little food besides. 1 am today a healthy woman.

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

Their perfume wtw delicious, and It occurred to Faucner to take them with him us a parting gift. Miss Parke's eyes lighted as she received them, and she thanked him with a kindly smile. They conversed for half an hour, during which she wore the flowers. In his heart Falkner did not give up hope of ultimate success in winning the BII'1 In* wanteu\ but during this summer he tell ill ami during his ill ness showed u weukuess which he supposed would rulu all. He wrote Miss Parke how luisseruble he WUN aud euded the letter with these words: "I He here thlukinj,' of you as I saw you lust, with the violets Iu your corsage. 1 have sent out for some that I may inhale their perfume fl&e better to bring you back to me.

G a r d n e r ' s . A f e w days' uurslug brought the invalid to convalescence, during which Interval there came about a betrothal. The ludy hud changed her mind, but, womanlike, could not or would not give a reason. One day later on Falkner asked his wife where the letters he had once written her were- those she had commended so highly. A friend—an editor —had expressed a desire to see them. Mrs. Falkner could not remember them for some time, and when she did admitted that she had burned them. Theu another day nestling In her treasure box Falkner found the letter he had written her when he was III. He blushed as he read it, then tore up the "maudlin scrawl." He nevor knew that it had won him a wife. LOUISE FARRBLL. [Original.] Margaret Parke was a very superloi girl. If you ask In what way she was superior, I can't tell you. She was In' tellectual. She was dignified. Sh« was above the petty Jealousies that are common among a certain class of women. And yet I question If these are really the reasons of her superioritj- Emerson Falkner as soon as he knew | her wanted her for his wife. Why he'j wanted her he could not explain even to himself. It was not because she was intellectual, dignified or free from pettiness. About the only reason he could have expressed in words was that she had a musical voice. She couldn't sing a note, but one who heard her low pitched tones would pronounce them melodious. But Falkner didn't consider this a good and sufficient reason for choosing a wife. Falktfer was a methodical man and never went about anything of importance without thinking out how It had better be done. "That girl can never be won by nonsense," he said. "She must first of all respect the man she marries and love him for his moral and Intellectual worth." Acting upon this, he began his courtship by introducing, when with her, topics In which she was most Interested. He found that her taste for books ran in much the same lines as his What He Meant. Park row at 1 a. m. and a policeman and a sailor in conversation. "Keyslde, key side!" said the sailor. M , 0w will Hi reach the bloomin' keyside?" "G'wan wld ye. D'ye think I'm a locksmith, that I know about yer old key and its side? There's one key and lock I'll be after givln' ye, and that's to a cell. Move on now." "Keyslde! Hi said keyslde as plain as Hi could, bllme!" Just then a high brow who had been to the postofflce buying stamps so that bis rejected contributions would come back to him stepped up. "The man wants the keyslde, what* ever that Is, and I dunno," said the policeman. "I believe he's looney and HI run him in." "He wants the quayside—the docks," own, and this ' B'M t n e h i 8 n brow as he directed the EAST PUTHAM. Jas. Fiteh and wife were in Howell Tueseay. E. G. Fish aud son Fred were in Howell the first of the week. School began Monday with Miss Clella FiBh teacher. Laura Coiling of Collins Plains is visiting her cousin Miss Gladys Fisk. Mrs. Carolina Neal of Durand, will be buried at the Whitcomb cemetery here today, Thursday. ft* tft« All tftt made them companionable. At times they differed on the matter of favorite authors or philosophical or psychological questions, but Falkner never yielded for the sake of pleasing. The consequence was that there was often spirited sparring between them that added zest to their intimacy. His Invitations to her were in accordance with his estimate of what pleased her. If he invited her to tho theater, the play must be of the higher grade, If to the opera the music was usually by either Beethoven or Wag ner. But more than to the theater or opera he took her to lectures. Though Falkner was a good talker, he was a better writer. As an amateur he had done some very good literary work. His forte was the essay. On one occasion when absent he wrote Miss Burke a series of letters which when he returned she told him were well worthy of publication. He suggested that she keep them, and some day they might find their way into print. When Falkner had thus done what ho could to commend himself tt> the lady he desired he went to see her one evening braced for a proposal. He told her that his friendship with her had been so delightful that he feared to risk It by mentioning the word love; that If that word would spoil the other, friendship. lie desired that she would ronshUT it unspoken. She seemed moved by this delicate way of putting If, and he wns encouraged, but she asked for time, and when he received Ids answer II was that she wished the friendship to be continued. He naturally infer,c I tiiat this meant she deslrrd the lo.e left out. He was greatly disappoiii el. He resolved lhat It should be exactly as she desired-a case of friendship. His attentions were continued. He gave her books, took her to amusements. After this had continued for sonu* time he said to her one day he had often beard that a word of love spoils a lifetime of friendship, but in their case they had proved the statemeat false. Bhe made no reply to this, and he construed her silence to mean ratal WM about t s fo to for H a SJMMMF fttfkaer man to the water front, while the policeman said: "Well, I'll be blowed!"-New York Press. A Slap at Mother. Dinner was done, and the family was assembled in the sitting room. Mother had taken up the evening paper and was reading an account of how a highwayman had been operating In the suburbs. Father was down on his hands and knees trying to act like a horse j while little Willie drove him around the floor. "Papa," finally remarked the good lady, glancing toward her husband, "here is a story about another man who was waylaid. Do these holdups always stop you with a pistol and then go through your clothes?" "Oh, no," grlnfully replied father, arising from the floor. "Sometimes they wait until you hang your clothes over the back of a chair and go to sleep."—Philadelphia Bulletin. ADDITIOIAl LOCAL. April weather—plenty ot wet.

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

The government is aln a d \ building large reservoirs in the west for the storage of water to b» used for irrigation, but the land thero is cheap in comparison with that in the Ohio valley; but if the use of thousands of acres for reservoirs would prevenl the disastrous floods Die residents of the valley would doubtless think thai, the lam sei ving a good purpose. .

The guard had melted away into the dnrknubs without another word, aud we hurried forward with due cau tiou. Just pabt t h e next corner waa a lighted room, and The sound of voices broke t h e quiet. We pushed open the door aud walked in. The room was large aud dingy, the ceiling low. Tables were acattered about the Handed floor. A bar took up the ijide of the room next t h e entrance aud a general air of disreputability filled the place. About the room, some at the tables, Home a t the bar, were numbers of stout, rough-looking men. with a few Greek fishermen aud two or three •sailors. l-Sehmrt the bar sat a women whose appearance in that place almost startled me. She might have been nearing seventy, and a hard and evil life had left its marks on her bent frame and h e r gaunt face. H e r leathery cheeks were lined deep, and a hawklike nose emphasized t h e unpleasant suggestions conveyed by her face and figure. But the most remarkable feature about her was n e r eyes. There was no trace of age i n them: Bright anriJ keen a s the eyes of a rat, they gave me an unpleasant thrill as I felt her gaze fixed upon me when I entered t h e door, a r m in sarcastically, again, have C H A P T E R VI.—Continued "We'll have to break down the door.

"Well, i m not daad^yet." "Then strike a liR-ht and let us in.

I ivastoned to unlock the door, and in walked my two visitors. The first was a young man,; tall, : well-made, with a shrewd, gog.d-huniored countenance, and a ready, confident air about him. I had no j'trouble in picking him out as the aiviused Dinky. The other was a black-bearded Riant, who followed stolidly in, the wake of the .younger man. •You've led me a pretty ch*V\" sild Dicky.

It was as though they had pierced me through, aud had laid bare something I would have concealed. H was a relief to pass beyond her into a recessed part of the room where her gaze might waste itself on (lie hack of my head. ".Mother Borton's up late lo-night," said Dicky thoughtfully, as'Mto ordered wine. "You can't blame her for thinking that this crowd needs watching," I suggested with as much of airiness a s 1 couid throw into my manner. Dicky shook his head for a second, and then resumed his light-hearted, bantering way. Yet I could see that. he was preplexed and anxious about something that had come to h i s attention on our arrival. "You'll not want to attend to business till all the hoys are here?" asked Dicky. "Not unless there's something to be done," 1 responded dryly. Dic£y gave me a quick glance. "Of course," he said with a laugh that was not quite easy, "not unless there's something to be done. But I thought there was something." "You've got a fine mind for thinking, Dicky," 1 replied. "You'd better cultivate it." "Well, they say tnere's nothing like society for that sort of cultivation," said Dicky, with another laugh. "They don't say what kind, but I've got a pretty good stock to choose from." He was at his ease in banter again, but it struck unpleasantly on me that there was something behind. "Oh, here's a queer friend," h e said suddenly, looking at t h e door. "I'd bettor speak to him on the matter of countersigns." "]>>y all means," I said, turning in my chair to survey the new-comer. I saw the face for an instant. The man wore a sou'wester, and ho had drawn his thick, rough coat up a s the cellar. Cheek and chin 1 could M"" were covered by a thick blonde 1 ".r.'d. His movements were apparently uumsy, but. his figure was lithe and s.nueiis. And his eyes! Once seen ;',u~y never could be forgotten.

It flashed on me in an Instant that thib maja was the same m a n dls- Kuised. who h a s ventured into t h e rnidat of his enemies to oee what he might learn of their plans. As 1 watched Dicky advance and greet the new-comer with apparent In quiry, a low, ha rah voice behind gave me a start of uurprl&e. "This is your wine, 1 think."—and a lean, wrinkled arm passed over my shoulder, and a wrinkled face came near my own. 1 turned quickly. It was Mother Borton, leering a t me with no apparent interest but ki her errand. "What are you doing here?" asked the crone in a voice stIJI lower. "You're not the one they take you to :hi;u:;h What a r e you doing with his looks, and in this place? J^ook out for that man you're with, and the other. Yes, sir," her voice rose. "A small bottle at the white; in a minute, sir " 1 understood her a s Dicky aud t h e new-comer came to the table and took seats opposite. I commanded my face to. give no sign of suspicion, but t h e warning put me on the alert. 1 had come on the supposition that 1 was to meet t h e band to which Henry Wilton belonged. Instead of being among friends, however, it seemed now that 1 was among enemies. "It's all right," said Dicky carelessly, "lie's been sent." "That's lucky," said 1 with equal unconcern. "We may need au extra hand before morning." The new-comer could not repress a triumphant flash in t h e serpent eyes. "I'm the one for your job," he said hoarsely, his face as impassive as a stone wall. "What do you know about the job?" I asked suspiciously. "Only what I've been told," he answered. ' A n d that is " "That it's a job for silence, secrecy, and " "Spondulicks," said Dicky with a laugh, as the other hesitated for the word. "Just so," said the man. "And what else?" I continued, pressing him firmly. "Well, he admitted hoarsely, "I learned as how there was to be a change of place to-night, and I might be needed." I looked a t him inquiringly. Perhaps I was on the threshold of knowledge of this cursed business from the mouth of the enemy. "I heard as how the boy was to be put in a safer place," he said, wagging his head with affected gravity. Some imp put it into my brain to try him with an unexpected bit of news. "Oh," I said coolly, "that's nil attended to. The change was made yesterday." The effect of this announcement was extraordinary. The man started with an oath. "The hell you say!" he exclaimed in a low, smooth voice, far different from the harsh tone he had used thus far. Then he leaped to his feet, with uncontrollable rage. "Tricked—by God!" he shouted impulsively, and smote the table with his fist. His outburst threw the room into confusion. Men sprang from their chairs. Glasses and bottles fell with clinking crash. Oaths and shouts arose from the crowd. "Damn you, I'll have it out of you!" said the man with suppressed fury, his voice once again smooth and low. "Where is the boy?" He smote the table again; and with that stroke t h e false heard fell from his chin and cheek, and exposed the malignant face, distorted with rage. A feeling of horrible repulsion came over me, and I should have struck at that serpent's head but for a startling occurrence. As h e spoke, a wild scream rose upon the air, and as it echoed through t h e room the lights went. out. The scream was repeated, and after an Instant's silence there rose a chorus of shouts and oaths, mingled with the crash of tables and the clink of breaking glass and crockery, as the men in the room fought their way to the door. "Oh, my God. I'm cut!"' came in a shriek out of the darkness and clamor; and there followed the flash of a pistol and a report, that boomed like a cannon in that confined place. My eyes had not been idle aftethe warning of Mother Borton. and in an instant I had decided what to do. I had figured out what 1 conceived to be the plan of The house, and thought I knew a way of escape. There were two doors at the rear of the room, facing me. One led, as I knew, to the kitchen; ihe e.the.* opened, 1 reasoned, on a stair to the lodging-room above. Before (he scream that accompanied the extinction ol' the lights li.vl died away. I had made a dive hene;::h the table, and, lifting with ail mv mii;ht, had sent it c a s h i n g over wit'.v my enemy under it.

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

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

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

I t is expected that a resolution authorizing the President to take such action as hie may deem advisable to secure redress from the Venezuelan authorities for losses suffered by the citizens of the United States will soon be passed by Congress.

Famous as the Abode of Many English Literary Giants. The place to which the lover of English literature will sooner or later turn his steps Is Twickenham. No other small town can boast of having beeu the residence and beloved a ode of so many famous literary lights. With it are associated the Immortal names of Pope, Horace Walpole, Swift, Gay. Lady Wortley Montagu, Gibson, Boswell, Johnson, Tennyson and Dickens. Snrely this Is enough to make any place doubly Immortal? Twickenham was well nicknamed by Horace Walpole the Baiae, or Tivoll, of England, for it has truly been to London what Baiae was to ancient Rome—Indeed, in a far higher degree. The big red brick house In Montpeller road where Alfred Tennyson lived for BO many years of bis earlier married life was the one In which manjs»of his earlier poems were written. There his son Lionel, the second Lord Tennyson, was born, and there the author of "Idylls" entertained many of his literary friends and acquaintances. That house should surely be sacred to all lovers of English literature, which saw the dawn of "In Me moriam," which witnessed those do llghtful gatherings graced by Tennyson, Hallam and kindred spirits within its walls. It Is today called "Tennyson House."—Westminster Gazette. Men's Maids. "Men's maids, yes," said an employment agent. "There are more of them than of men's men or valets. Visit the fashionable hotels of California, Florida, the Riviera, Egypt, and as you pass open bedroom doors of a morning or an afternoon what do you see? Maids changing the studs in evening shirts, pressing trousers with patent alcohol Irons, bfashlng coats and putting fresh laces in boots. The average well to do couple—the couple that can afford the best winter and summer r e s o r t s - travel with a maid, but not with a maid and a valet, for, after all, a valet Is very expensive, and his duties occupy only a few hours a day, and a maid can get through all of them just as well as not. So the average lady's maid is a man's maid as well -maid to the wife, valet to the husband. She likes her latter duties. They are, you see, simple and easy, and they draw forth the most generous tips."—New York Press. 0 Death Was On Hi8 Heels. Jesse P . Morris, of Skippers, Va had a close call in the spring of 1906.

At the beginning of the temperance movement drinking men came to our meetings for no other purpose than to Interrupt and confuse. The orator had to be very careful in hla remarks, lie had te look out lest he give his hearem uu ypeniug for some opportune but ribald Interruption. "I remember." he said, "when they began temperance work here in Washington. A series of meetings was held In a iurge hall. The audiences were always numerous, but they Interrupted horribly. In the end an ex-prize tighter was hired to sit every night in the obstreperous gallery and keep order there. "Well, one night the orator contrast ed the clean content of home life with the squalor of drunkenness. He spoke beautifully, and at his climax he cried In ringing, impassioned tones: " 'What do we want when we return from our daUy toil? What do wo desire to ease our burdens, to gladden our hearts, to bring smiles to our faces and song to our lips?' "Here the orutor paused for effect, and the conscientious prize tighter tiptoed hurriedly to the front of the gallery, shook his finger at his unruly charges and said in a threatening stage whisper: " 'Mind, the first feller among ye wot says "Beer!"—out he goes.'

My Maryhnni," was written, and the poem's author, James Itvder Randall, approved Professoi Mni thews' account. In April, lSdl. Colonel Kandall read in the New Orleans Delta news of the attack on the Massachusetts troops as they . passed through Baltimore. "This account greatly excited me," Mr. Uaiukiil wrote in answer to a letter from Professor Matthews. "I had long been absent from my native city, and the stiirtliug event there iutluoneed my mind. That night 1 could not dismiss fr mi uiy mind what I had read in the pa;Kir. About midnight I arose, lit a candle and went to my desk. Some powerful influence seemed to possess mi', and almost involuntarily I proceeded to write the song of 'My Maryland.' "I remember that this idea seemed to take shape as music In my hraln—some wild air that I cannot now recall. The whole poem was dashed off rapidly when once begun. It was not composed In cold blood, but under what may be called a conflagration of the •eases If not an Inspiration of tbe Intellect No one was more surprised than I was at the widespread and Instantaneous popularity I had been so strangely stimulated to write." Colonel Randall always told his friends that the poem "wrote Itself."— New York Herald.

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

By some it is claimed that the efforts of Hippocrates were in the direction of converting a circle Into a crescent because he had found that the area of a figure produced fjy draw, ing two perpendicular radii is exactly equal to the triangle formed by the line of conjunction.

HEPPES NO-TAR ROOFING Grandest of All Materials to Take the Place of Shingles The prohibitive price and poor quality of the ahinelea now on the market has created a widespread demand for a satisfactory material to take their place. HEPPES NO- TAR ROOFING is that material. Its price is so extraordinarily low that the combined coat of buying and laying Heppes No-Tar Roofing is much less than the mere cost of shingles.

It makes a handsome, leak-proof, weatherproof, fire-resisting and time-defying roof. It withstands the snow and ice and storms of winter. It is proof against the hottest sun. It is so easy to apply that any man, with the aid of the H E P P E S ROOFERS' BOOK can 6« his own roofer. Its value as a fireresister is shown by the fact that Fire Insurance Companies charge 25 per cent less for insuring buildings protected by Heppes No-Tar Roofing than for buildings with shingle roofs. Used on All Farm Buildings Heppes No~Tar Roofing is used on Houses, Barns, Sheds, Granaries, H o g Houses, Cow Barns, Silos, Poultry Houses, Ice Houses, Carriage Houses, W a g o n Sheds, Cribs and all other farm buildings. Cover the aides of buildings as well as roofs with it. It will pay big returns on the investment. Unlike shingles, it does not crack, curl or rot. Unlike tin or galvanixed iron, it does not rust, blow off or deteriorate. It needs no repairs and lasts as long as the "building.

The remarkable reneiriblanee of the t w o men is notfd and commented on by passen- *ern on the ferry. They Bee a man with tmake eyes, which senda a thrill through Dudley. Wilton postpones a n explanation • of the strange errand Dudley is to perform, but occurrences cause him to know it is one of no ordinary meaning. Wilton leaves Giles in their room, with Instruction to await ids return and shoot any one who tries to enter. Outside there is heard s h o u t s and curses and the noise of a quarrel. Henry rushes in and at his request the r o o m m a t e s quickly exchungfl clothes, and he hurries out again. Hardly has lie Rone t h a n Giles is .startled by a cry of "Help," and he runs out to ttnd s o m e one being assaulted by :i half dozen men. Ho s u m m o n s a policeman but they arc unable to rind tiny i race of a crime. Giles returnB to his .room and h u n t s for some evidence that might explain his strange mission. He tinda a map which he endeavors to decipher: Dudley is s u m m o n e d to the morgue and there tlnds the dead body of ids friend, Henry Wilton. And thus Wilt- <>0 die-s without ever explaining to Dudley the puzzling work he w a s to perform in San Francisco, in order to discover the secret mission his friend had entrusted to him Dudley continues his disguise and permits himself to he known as Henry Wilton. Dudley, mistaken for Wilton, is employed by Knapp to assist in a stock brokerage deal. "Dicky" lakes the supposed Wilton to Mother Horton's. Mother Borton discovers that lie is not Wilton. The lights are turned out and a free for all fight follows. Giles Dudley tlnds himself closeted in a room with Mother Borton who m a k e s a confldant of him. CHAPTER VII. (Continued.) "My name is Dudley—Giles Dudley." "Where is Wilton?" "Dead.' "Dead? Did you kill h i m ? " The half-kindly look disappeared from her eyes and the hard lines settled into an expression of malevolent repulsiveness. "He was my best friend," I said sadly; and then I described the leading events of the tragedy I had witnessed. The old woman listened closely, and with hardly the movement of a muscle, to the tale I told. ' Aud you think he left, his joh to you?'' she aaid with a sneer, "[ have taken it up as well as 1 fan. To be frank with you, Mrs. Morton, I know nothing about his job. I'm going along on blind chance, and trying to keep a whole skin." The old woman looked at me in amazement. "Poor boy!" she oxclalmed halfpi'yingly, half-admiringly. "You put. your hands to a job you know nothing about, when Henry Wilton couldn't carry it with all his wits about him." "f didn't do it," said I sullenly. "It has done itself. Everybody insists that. I'm Wilton. If I'm to have my throat, slit for him I might as well try to do his work. I wish to Heaven I knew what It was, though." Mother Dorton leaned her head on her hand, and gazed on me thoughtfully for a full minute. "Young man," said she impressively, "take my advice. There's a train for the East in the mornin'. Just git on board, and never you stop short of Chicago." 'T'm not running away." said I bitterly. "I've got a score to settle with the man who killed Henry Wilton. When that score is settled. I'll go to Chicago or anywhere else. Until that's done, I stay where I can settle it." Mother Borton caught up the candle and moved it back and forth before my face. In her «yes there was a gleam of savage pleasure. "By God, he's In e a r n e s t ! " she said to tterself, with a strange laugh. "Tell me again of the man you saw in the alley." 1 described Doddridge Knapp. "And you are going to get even with him? she said with a chuckle that had no mirth In it. "Yes." said t shortly. "Why, if yon should touch him tho people of the city would tear you to pieces." *i shall not touch him. I'm no HAsasain!" I exclaimed indignantly. T h e law shall take him, and I'll see him hanged a* high as Haitian." Mother Borton gave a low, gurgling laufch. / T h e Jaw! oh. my liver—the law! Mow younj|/you are, mylUQ>!, Oh, ho, oh h o !

"Not I!" 1 returned atoutly. •* "I'm doing It for yqyr «wn goixf." she said, with as nc|ir <*ii approach to a coaxing ton* as qhe could command. It W*B lung fclftc©' She had used her voice for such a puri)Ost' and it grated. "For my sake I'd like to see you go on and wipe out the whole raft ot 'em. But 1 know what'll happen to ye, honey. I've took a fancy to ye. I don't know why. But there'b a look on your face that carries me back for forty years, aud—don't try it, dearie." There were actually tears in the creature's eyes, and her hard, wicked face softeued, aud became almost tender aud womanly. "I can't give up," I said. "The work Is put ou me. But can't you help me? I believe you want to. I trust you. Tell me what to do—where I stand. I'm all in the dark, but 1 must do my work." It was the best appeal 1 could have made. "You're right," she said. "I'm an old fool, and yuu've got the real sand. You're the first oue except Henry Wilton that's trusted utt? in forty years, and you won't be sorry tor it, my boy. You owe me one, now. Where would you have been to-night if 1 hadn't had the light doused on ye?" "Oh, that was your doing, was it? I thought my time had come." "Oh, I was sure you'd know what to do. It was your best chance." "Then will you help me now?" The old cione considered, and her face grew sharp and cunning in its look. "What can I d o ? " "Tell me, in God's name, where 1 stand. What is this dreadful mystery? Who is this boy? Why is he hidden and why do these people want to know where he is? Who Is behind me and who threatens me with death?" I burst out with these question passionately, almost frantically. This was the first time I had had chance to demand them of another human being. Mother Borton gave me a leer. "I wish I could tell you, my dear, but I don't know." "You mean you dare not tell me," I said boldly. "You have done me a great service, but if I am to save my- °'i self from the dangers that, surround me I must know more. Can't you sec that?" "Yes," she nodded. "You're In a hard row of stumps, young man." "And you can help mo." "Well, I will," she said, suddenly softening again. "I took a shine to you when you came in, an' I says to myself, 'I'll save that young fellow,' an' I done it. And I'll dn more. Mr. Wilton was a fine gentleman, an' I'd do something, if I could, to get even with those murderin' gutter-pickers that laid him out on a slab." She hesitated and looked around at. the shadows thrown by the nickeling candle. "Well?" I said impatiently. "Who is the boy, and where is he?" "Never you mind that young, fellow. Let me tell you what I know. Then maybe we'll have time to go into things I don't know." It was of no uae to urge her. I bowed my assent to her terms. "I'll name no names," she said. "My throat can b e cut as quick as yours, and maybe quicker." "The ones that h a s the boy means all right. They're rich. The ones as is looking for the boy is all wrong. They'll be rich if they gits him." "How?" "Why, T don't know," said Mother Borton. "I'm tellin" you what. Henry Wilton told me." This was maddening. I began to suspect that she knew nothing after all. "Do you know where he Is?" I asked, taking the questioning into my own hands. "No"—sullenly. "Who is protecting hi:.v?" "I don't know." "Who is trying to get him?" "Its that snake-eyed Tom Terrill that's leading the hunt, along with Darby Meeker; but they ain't doing it 1'ttv themselvea." "Is Doddridge Knapp behind, them?" The old woman looked at joao snd-rdenlj in wild-eyed alarm. "8^-tf!" she whlapefW "Don't name no names." "And is this all you know?" I asked wi disappointment. Mother Borton tried to remember some other in>iut. "I don't bee huw it's going to keep a knife from bttweeu iny ribs," 1 complalued. "You keep out of the way of Tom Terrill aud his hounds, aud you'll be all right, i reckon.'' "Am 1 supposed to be the head man in this business?" "Yes." "Who are my men?" "There's Wilson and Fitzhugh and Porter and Brown," and she named ten or a dozen more. "Aud what is Dicky?" ' It's a smart man as can put his linger on Dicky Nahl," satd Mother Borton spitefully. "Nahl is his name?" "Yes. And I've seen him hobnob with Henry Wilton, and I've seen him thick as thieves with Tom Terrill, and which he's thickest with the devil himself couldn't tell. I call him Slippery Dicky" "Why did he bring me here tonight?" "I hearu there's orders come to change the place—the boy's place, you know. You was to tell 'em where the new one was to be, I reckon, but Tom Terrill spoiled things. He's lightning, is Tom Terrill. But I guess he got it all out of Dicky, though where Dicky got it the Lord only kuows." This was all that was to be had from Mother Borton. Either" she knew no more, or she was sharp enough to hide u knowledge that might be dangerous, even fatal, to reveal. She was willing to serve mo, and I was forced to let it pass that she knew no more. "Well, I'd better be going then," said I at last. "It's nearly 4 o'clock, and everything seems to be quiet hereabouts. I'll find my way to my room." "You'll do no such thing," said Mother Borton. "They've uot given up the chase yet. Your men have gone home, I reckon, but I'll bet the Baloon that you'd have a surprise before you got to the corner.' "Not a pleasant prospect," said I grimly. "No. Y'ou must stay here. The room next to this one is just the thing for you. See?" She drew me into the adjoining room, shading the caudle as we passed through the ha.l that no gleam might fall where it would attract attention. "You'll be safe here," she said. "Now do as I say. Go to sleep and git some rest. You ain't had much, I guess, since you got to San Francisco." The room was cheerless, but in the circumstances the advice appeared good. 1 was probably safer here than in the street, and I needed the rest. "Good night," said my strange protectress. "You needn't git up till you git ready. This is a beautiful room—beautiful, I call it our bridal chamber, though we don't get no brides down here. There won't be no sun to bother your eyes in the mornin', for that window don't open up outside. So there can't nobody git in unless he conies from inside the house. There, git to bed. Look out you don't set Are to nothing. And put out. the candle. Now good night, dearie." Mother. Borton closed the door behind her, and left me to the shadows. There was nothing to lie. gained by sitting up, and the candle was past its final inch. I felt that 1 could not sleep, but I would lie down on the bed anrl rest my tired limbs, that I might refresh myself for the demands of the day. I kicked off my boots, put. my revolver under my hand and lay down. Heedless of Mother Borton's warning I left the candle to burn to the socket, and watched the flickering shadows chase each other over walls and ceiling, finally dropping off to sleep. CHAPTER VIII. In Which i Meet a Few Surprises. I awoke with the sense of threatened danger strong in my mind. For a moment. I was unahle to recall where I was, or ou what errand I had come. Then memory returned in a flood, and I sprang from the bed and peered about me. A dim light struggled in from the darkened window, but no cause for apprehension could be seen. I was the only creature that breathed the air of that bleak and dingy room. I drew aside the curtain, and threw up the window. It. opened merely on a light-well, and the blank walls beyond gave back the cheery reflection of a patch of sunshine that fell at an angle from above. The fresher air that crept in from the window cleared my mind, a dash of water refreshed my body and 1 was ready once more to face whatever might befall. I looked at my watch. It was S o'clock, and I had slept four hours in this place. Truly I had been .imprudent after my adventure below, but I ,had been right in trusting Mother Borton. Then I began to realise that I was outrageously hungry, and I re memhered that 1 should be at the office by & to. receive the commands of Doddridge, Knapp, should he choose to send them.. I threw ^acK.tiy;1 boltj hut when I tried to swing 'the door opefa it re- .aistqfli my feffortk. The key bad been mUi*i»g w£en I closed it, but a sliding ^bolt'had fastened it securely. Now 1 saw thai the door was locked. Here was a strange yeidlca/iienl. 1 had heard nuthiug ol the noise of the key before 1 lost myself in slumber. Mother Borton must have turned it as an additional precaution as 1 slept. But how was I to get out? I hesitated to make a noise that could attract attention. It might bring some oue lt-bs kindly disposed than my hostess of the night. But there was no other way. I was trapped, and must take the risk of summoning assistance. I rapped on the panel iyid listened. No sound rewarded me. 1 rapped again more vigorously, but only silence followed. The house might have been the grave for all the sigua of life it gave back. There was something ominous about It. To be locked, thus, in a dark room of this house in which I had already been attacked, was enough to shaKe my spirit and resolution for the moment. What lay without the door, my apprehension asked me. Was it part of the plot to get the secret it was supposed 1 held? Had Mother Borton been murdered and the house seized? Or had Mother Borton played me false and was I now a prisoner to my own party for my enforced imposture, as one'who knew too much to be left at large and too little to be of use? On a second and calmer thought it was evidently folly to bring my jailers about my ears, if jailers there were. I abandoned my half-formed plan or breaking down the door, and turned to the window and the light-well. Another window faced on the same space, not five feet away. If it were but opened I might swing myself over and through it; but it was closed, and a curtain hid the unknown possibilities and dangers of the interior. A dozen feet above was the roof, with no projection or foothold by wihch it might be reached. Below, the lightwell ended in a tinned floor, about four feet from the window sill. I swung myself down, and with two steps was trying the other window. It was unlocked. I raised the sash cautiously, but its creaking protest seemed to my excited ears to be loud enough to wake any but the dead. I stopped and listened after each squeak of the frame. There was no sign of movement. Then I pushed aside the curtain cautiously, and looked within. The room appeared absolutely bare. Gaining confidence at the sight, I threw the curtain farther back, and with a bound climed in, revolver In hand. The room wasw. as 1 had thought, bare and deserted. There was a musty smell about it, as though it had not been opened for a long time, and dust and desolation lay heavy upon it. There was, however, nothing here to linger for, and I hastened to try the door. It was locked. I stooped to examine the fastening. It was of the cheapest kind, attached to door and casement by small screws. With a good wrench it gave way, and I found myself in a dark side-hall between two rooms. Three steps brought me to the main hall, and I recognized it for the same through which t had telr my way in the darkness of the night. I took my steps cautiously down the stairs, following the way that led to the side entrance. The saloon and restaurane room 1 was anxious to evade, for there would doubtless be a barkeeper and several loiterers about. It could not be avoided, however. As I ncared the bottom of the stairs I saw that a door led from the hallway to the saloon, and that it was open. (TO BK CONTINTKI).) When Time's Flight Is Marked. "One of the difficult things to realize," said the middle-aged man. "is t h a t certain people have grown up.

"The person in question was one of my boyhood companions in the little country town where I was brought up. I hadn't seen him for a quarter of a century, when he walked into my office and introduced himself. Maybe I wasn't, glad to shake his hand again! But. it all seemed like a kind of masquerade; it wasn't at all the right thing for him to be so old. and as for his being a trifle stout and having a beard, why .that was simply ridiculous. Of course, he should have appeared in the somewhat threadhare coat and knee breeches in which he had always been enshrined in my memory. I have had the hardest sort of work to get it into my head that he is the fellow with whom I played years ago. And 1 suppose he has had the same mental struggle over mo " Women, because they e?.t so much less, only pay half rates in the more old-fashioned of Sweden's hotels. • '••' '. -. * • " • " > •*—' " -. — «•*• n x i r eroia Lie arises the v: u ally; Dispels a c n e s due to Constipation; naturally, acts truly as lids an ipali Acta naturally, acts fruu ulju*ative.

An Attempted Innovation That Did Not Meet With Favor. It Is not always wise to force upon a people new customs, even those of advanced principle, in the face of long established tradition. Lady Burton discovered thin truth when she attempted to Introduce European courtesy into the orient. She tells of her experience In "Inner Life of Syria." The incident occurred at one of her own receptions. It is de rigueur every time coffee, tea or sherbet comes in for every fresh relay of visitors thut I should take it with them and drink first. When I first arrived 1 used to get up as a matter of course, make the tea and coffee and carry It round. The dragomans would sit lazily and watch. One day 1 asked them to get up and help me. They were pleased to do so and willingly handed the refreshments to any of the Europeans, man or woman, but not to their own ladles, who blushed, begged their pardon and were quite confused when I made it known this attention was for them as well as for others. The women looked appeallngly at me and stood up, praf^ng not to be served. One man who was really in love with his wife, a beautiful creature, gave her a teacup as If It were a good joke, with a little sneer. She bent, kissed his hand and begged his pardon. I felt quite indignant with the men for so behaving to their wives, mothera and sisters, but one said to me: "Pray, Mrs. Burton, do not teach our women things they do not know about and never saw." After that I held my tongue, but 1 let him know that with Europeans It was the height of bad taste not to wait on any woman. HAD HIS REVENGE. A Twenty year Sentence.

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

At these fowls the crew glared with, concupiscent, eyes. "i could ate one ov 'em, feathers :and aii," said Hennessy. ' Hi'm nick of the eatin' aboard thia . bloody ship." growled a man. "Whist," warned Hennes^-; "not. a "' wurid. If tlm old man catches a whisper about the atfn' he'll cut it off altoslther." That night the steamer lay in the river with both anchors out and steam up.

Good results ia painting: at the least trust depend largely upon the material choaen. Paiut ia a simple compouud and the Ingredients can be easily tested. The aolid part or pigment should be While Lead. The liquid part ahould :<e Uuseed Oil. Thotoe best informed on painting always buy these ingredients separately and have their painter mix them fresh for each Job. Before the mixing the test is made. Plactj a pea-sized bit of White Load on a piece of charcoal or piece of wood. Blow thtt tlauie agaiuut It and see what it will do. If it is pure White Lead, little drops of bright, pure metallic lead will appeur, and with patience the White Lead can be completely reduced to one globule of metallic lead. This 1» because pure White Lead is made from metallic lead. You may test dozens of other socalled White Leads and not be able to reduce one of them to lead. If Hr*y will not change wholly to lead but leave a residue, It la d e a r that some adulterant is p r e s e n t If you should have your painting done with auch materials, no matter how cheap they might seem, it would be costly in the end. National Lead Company, Woodbridge liuilding, New York City, are sending on request a blowpipe free to any one about to have painting done, so that the White Lead may be tested. With it will be sent a handsqpiely printed booklet having as Its frontispiece the "Dutch Boy Painter," reproduced from the original painting. This little painter has become noted as the guaranty of pure White Lead. A FORGOTTEN ROMANCE.

In lighting t h e walls some thought must be given the color. Light colors reflect S5% of the light thrown upon I them. Dark colors reflect but 15%. Lighting bills can be saved by choosing a color which will reflect t h e largest degree of light. In north rooms use warm colors or colors which reflect light. In south and west rooms sometimes the light can be modified by the use of darker colors. Dark greens absorb the light; light yellows reflect it; browns modify it, and so on, through the scale of colors The color scheme of a room not only is dependent upon the color of the carpetlngs but it is also dependent upon the light of the room.

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

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

Just at this time of year when the winds are blowing a gale and things are generally scattered anyway, one has but to take a drive or walk around the village to convince them that the practice of throwing paper around promiscusly is a habit that should be broken. If not by kindly i asking the people to desist, then by j more stringent means. It is a public I i nuisance. [ Mot only is it a nuisance but there is danger of damage from horses j breaking away and killing some one. ! Only last week a horse was frightened \ and broke away from a post on Main ' street from being scared by a loose paper, but he was caught before he got much start. M. E.

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

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

T moved slowly down, a step at a Mine, then from over-caut lousness tripped and came ('own the last three steps at once with the clatter of a four-horse team. But nobody stirred. Then I glanced through the open door, and was stricken cold with astonishment, The room was empty! The chairs and tables that a few hours ago 1 had seen scattered about were gone. There was uo sign that the place had been occupied in months. 1 stepped into the room that 1 had seen crowded with eager friends and enemies, eating, drinking, ready for desperate deeds, My stop echoed strangely with the echo of an untenanted house. The bar and the shelves behind It 'Were.swept clear of the bottles and glass*! tjbat had filled them. Bewildered and apprehensive, 1 wondered' whether, after all, the events of the nig-ht were not a fanfgafle dream. . Tbore Was, however, no ttaje to waste in prying Into thia mystery.

The fresh ftrfof the morning was like'wine after the close apd musty atmosphere 1 had been breathing. I hurried along the streets with but a three-minute stop to swallow a cup of coffee and a roll, and once more mounted the stairs to the office and opened the door to Number 15. The place was In disorder. The bonks that .had been arranged on the desk -ind shelves were now scattered about in confusion, as though they had been hurriedly examined and , t h r o w n / a s i d e In. a, fruitless search. This was a disturbing incident, and I was surprised to discover that, the door into the adjoining room was ajar. 1 pushed it wide open, and started hack. Before mo stood Doddridge Knapp. his face palo as the face of a corpse, and his eyes staring as though ' !\ > .I-1;1 1 had rise:* before him. CHAPTER'IX. A Day in the Market. The King of the Street stood for ;i moment, staring at. me wi;h that strange and fearsome gazo. What was there in that dynamic glance thn; struck a chill to my spirit as though the very fountain of life had been attacked? Was it the manifestation of the powerful will behind that mask? Wag,.it terror or anger that was to be read In the fiery eyes "that"gleamed*1 from Beueajt)!} tljoae »fu»hy brows, and in»ttjtrVlay ,«J, t&e^qruel mouth, which from under that yellow gray uiustacAe gave back* the-sign of the Wolf* -; •Have; you any orders* sir?"

It was thus that I could account for his Startled gaze aud evident discomposure. "Nine o'clock was the time, you said," 1 suggested deferentially. "1 believe it's a minute or two past.'' <*ifcit ye*,'' bald Doddridge Kuapp, pqiihtg hinisei! together. "Come In here." He looked suspiciously at me as he took a seat at his desk and motioned me to auother.

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

Made L i t t l e Difference to Sportsman Whsrs H i t Birds Were Hit. Alligators in Ecuador. A new minor industry that is developing in Ecuador is the killing and skinning of alligators. This industry was launched in 1903 by an American, who went to Guayaquil for the purpose of hunting down the myriads of alligators which abound in the River Gnayas and its tributaries. He was markedly successful. The business was temporarily interrupted in the early pact of 190") by the untimely death of the American, who had started the fun, but, it has recently been resumed. The total value of the alligator skins exported during the years 1903, 1904. 19lV. and 1906 was $3."S,Oi)0.

Here are some instances: The "Unrighteous" Bible, from the misprint "the 'unrighteous' shall Inherit the kingdom; the "Placemakera' " Bible, "blessed are the placemakers' " (peacemakers); the "Printers' " Bible, "the 'printers' (for princes) have persecuted me;" the "Treacle" Bible, "Is there no 'treacle' (balm) In Gilead?" the "Vinegar" Bible, "the parable of the 'vinegar'" (vineyard); the "Bug" Bible, "thou shalt not be afraid of 'bugs' (bogles) by night;" the "Breeches" Bible, "they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves 'breeches;' " the "Idle" Bible, "woe to the 'idle' " (idol), and finally the "Wooden Leg" Testament, so called from the frontispiece depicting Satan limping with a wooden leg- Just a Fish Story. We cannot refrain from recording the most curious capture of a fish that has come to our notice. The circumstance was retailed many years ago by Mr. Heathcote, one of the great authorities on the fens. A Mr. Richard- Bon of Peterborough was skating on the dikes when the ice was very clear, and he noticed a large pike swimming In front of him. The fish was terrified by the apparition and swam in front of the skater until it stopped from sheer exhaustion. The skater broke the ice and took out the fish with his hand, which proved to be a pike weighing twelve pounds. It is a story difficult even for a fisherman or a local historian to cap.—London Outlook, ADDITI0HAL LOCAL. A much heeded ruin visited this Section Sunday night.

The local optionists ot Barry county are making every effort to have the law enforced there. At the recent election the county went dry and since that time the drys have raised $5,000 to assist in the enforcing of the law. Candidates for county offices in adjoining counties are beginning to take advertising space in the newspapers. This fact should awaken the prospective candidates in Livingston to action and a consideration of the merits ot newspaper publicity— Brighton Argus. A good many in the county are announcing that they are candidates for different offices the coming November either for state or county office. So far there does not seem to be any in this vicinity with the political bee in their bonnets. Perhaps they have not yet got their spring millinery. The Pinckney Junior ball team went over to Howell last Saturday and played the Juniors of the county seat. The game was a good one and required ten innings to decide it, although the Pinckney team were defeated. The score was 15 and 16. The return game will be played here in the near future. W. F.

"You are on the stand to answer questions, not to ask them. Answer my question." "Well, my husband finds It necessary to keep money about him for his ordinary expenses, such as car fare and lunch.

UTESINEWS OF MICHIGAN A WOMAN'S PLUCKY FIGHT WITH A BRUTE ON A L O N E L Y ROAD. SUSPECT UNDER ARREST. Miaa Lillian Loomis Has a Terrible. Experience Wfth a Strange'* Man Brpkt Into Her. Hgme. Defying a iiiau who demanded ad mlLtanoe at her trout door, Miss HI liau L-oomia, living atom- HUB mil*' eolith of Ionia, fled from her hoiuse in her night clothe* at 1 o'clock Tuesday m o r n l n i wh»n fce began to climb iu a rear window. Ha followed, aud iu the lonely road the woman fought and worsted him aiugle-handed, though she waa terribly injured iu the unequal struggle. A little more than a week ago Mlsa Loomis heard some one prowling about her house during the uight. She lives alone, and the next time she came to Ionia she bought a revolver for her protection. She waa unmolested until this morning. The man then boldly knocked on the door and ordered her to open it. When she refused and warned him to leave he went to the rear of the house aud began to smash in a window. At the same time Miss Loomis grusped her revolver, ran out of the door and started down the road. She had gone bur about ten yards when the man over took her. She tired two shots at hint, as he closed upon her, but both missed. He grappled with her, she dropped her revolver, but be sail to fight with a frenzied strength. Back and forth they swayed and tumbled in the road, the woman never getting the advantage, but defending herself with success, which infuriated the assailant. Like Mies Loomis, he also became exhausted by the desperate struggle and when she finally threw him off and staggered away, he was too weak to follow. With her gown in shreds the woman contrived to drag herself to the nearest farm residence. From there Dry W . E. Ogden was called. He reached her shortly afterward in an automobile and found h»jr fearfully lacerated, her throat cut and bruised, one eye swollen shut and black and her body badly bruised. She will recover, however. Night Watch Van Slyke said that at ,'! o'clock he had put lo bed in the Dexter house a man answering the description of itffss Loomis* assailant. The suspect said he was Grant Avery. aged 38, farmer, of Marshall. He fought against arrest and hart to be choked into submission. At the jail he denied t h e charge, but the sheriff found what appeared to be blond on his hat and clothes. Later he was taken to the Loomis home, where Miss Loomis positively identified him, Miss Loomis in a cousin of Maj. A P. Loomis and highly reaper led. Thesuspect admitted having been arresied three times and serving two tr>rm.s 111 the Ionia prison. The Professor's Divorce Case. I am high spirited and impaiiout, although 1 have fought with myself and am becoming moi>> patient. I have naturally a sharp tongu«\ ami have said many sharp things. I am too particular. I like m see even a match laid at its proper angle. Because 1 try to do things in an exact way I have been too exacting with others, but, thank God, 1 am overcoming that. My ideals are probably too high and too exacting for practical -life. This wan the calm and deliberate analysis of Mrs. Julia V.

George, Leslnski, the n-yearold son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lesinski, of Grand Rapids, was cremated at. 4 o'clock Thursday morning, while the father and mother and four other children were terribly burned, in a fire in their dwelling. The death of all was prevented by the early appearance of a workman, who aroused the family. Gallant but fruitless efforts were made by the fire department to rescue the child, who was in an upstairs room, where the family slept, over their place of business. When the Hames were finally quenched the little body was found huddlerl next to the wall in another room, where in agony the child had been driven to escape Ihe heat and suffocation. Mrs. Lesinski saved her children by groping her way to a side window with a small child in her arms.

A;!v:r.e to a Wife. Mh ire is often too good to be taken. hut a very agreeable variety was once given by .fames Kusaell Lowell to a young woman about to be married, "Always give your husband—yoor own way." LOrl urinal.] Mrs. Gothoru entered a trolley cur and while gelling a ulckel out of her purieiuuuuu.lt> laid her Uiiuk muff uu the wear between Uer and a lady who sal uext to her. Having paid her fare aud looked uut of the window, xnedttat lug ou something biie hud on Iter lulud, she •suddenly remembered her mull. It was nut where she had left It, but reposing ou the lap of the lady uext to her, who sat as composedly as If she hud noi appropriated it. 'Turdou me, uiadani," said Mra. Gothoru, 'you have taken up my muff by mistake." "Not at all," replied the lady. "I have my owu muff." Mrs. Gothorn was simply stuuued at this assurance aud was thiuklug what to do when the lady uiotioued to the conductor. The car was stopped, aud Hhe got our. Mrs. Gothoru got out too. She followed, the thief till she came to a policeumn. "Arrest that womau," she said to hlni. "She has stolen my muff." "Can you prove It?" hi* asked. "Yes. Don't you see that it is the same fur as my tippet miuk?" The pollcemau did not look especially convinced. Indeed, he did uot kuow the difference between uiiuk and sable. He went up to the womau with the muff aud told her she was charged by the other lady with stealing her muff. "Do take her away," said the thief. "Bhe's crazy. She's been following me all over town, thinking I have her muff." That ended it. The policeman looked from one to the other for a few moments and, seeing that they both appeared to be ladies, declined to have anything to do with the case. The thief went on, and Mire. Gothorn, realising the futility of following the matter up, abandoned the chase. A year later Mrs. Gothorn attended a dinner given by her friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ames. She was introduced before going to the dining room to several people she did not know. One of them, Mrs. Fteher, was the woman who bad appropriated her muff. Now, Mrs. Gothorn had thought a great deal about the clever trick by which she had made her loss and as to what she would do In case she ever again met the thief. One thing she had determined upon—that §he would not, figuratively speaking, "buck up against a stone wall" by accusing her of the theft She would use stratagem. If Mra. Fisher remembered her as the woman she had despoiled, Bhe gave no evidence of the recollection. Before the party moved to the table Mrs. Gothorn whispered to Mrs. Ames that she would like to be seated next to Mra. Fisher. During the earlier courses Mrs. Gothorn had time to arrange her plan. Mrs. Fisher sat on her right, a Mr. Wctmore on her left. She asked Mr. Wetmore if he had ever seen a black pearl. He said he had not, and, taking a ring off her linger, she showed him one in the setting and told him to pass It on for examination. He did so, and the ring was passed around the table, every one, including Mrs. Fisher, holding and admiring It, till It got back to its owner. Between Mrs. Gothorn and Mrs. Fisher on the table rested the latter's vanity bag. While Mrs. Fisher, conversing with her dinner companion, had her back turned to Mrs. Gothorn and all the guests were Intent on the host, who was telling a story, Mrs. Gothorn slipped her black pearl set ring In an outer pocket of the bag without being noticed. Ten minutes later Mrs. Gothorn said: "Will whoever has my ring please return it to me?" Each guest looked at the others, and •everal of them said that they supposed the ring had been returned. Then Mrs. Gothorn looked frightened. Prom fright she came to anger. "Mr. Ames," she said, "some one of yoor guests has my ring. I demand an Investigation, and at one*, before any one leaves the room." "Mrs. Gothorn," replied Ames, coloring, "you muRt be mistaken. We are all ladles and gentlemen." *1 demand to be searched," Mr. Wetmore spoke up. "I was the one who first passed the ring, and suspicion would naturally rest on nw." He turned his pockets Inside o u t "Come, Ames; search me." Every one, Including Mrs. Fisher, urged that all he searched and that the host and hostess do the searching. They finally consented, and of course the ring was found in Mrs. Fisher's vanity bag. Host and hostess begged Mrs. Gothorn to be satisfied with the recovery of her ring and not bring a scandal on them and their guests. Far from listening to their request, she went herself to the telephone and callad for the police. In a few minutes a wagon drove up to the door, and a man tn uniform entered. "Arrest that woman," aaid Mrs. Ootbom. "On what charge?** asked the officer. "Stalling from me a black pearl "Huvu you evidence?" "Yes; every man uud womau at Tills table Is iny witness. 1 have unuther churge. It is this: A year ago »he j atole u mink muff from me." Up to this polut Mrs. Fisher had looked from Mrs. Gothoru to the orh- j ers with nu expression seeming to in- | dlcute that she thought her acuuber must be demented, but at the becoud charge she collapsed. The blood rushed from her cheeks, and she sank Into H ehalr In a faint. Mrs Coilnirn withdrew the charge of I he Ihcfl of tin* ring, but recovered her mulf. CUAKI.OTTK l'-ON J> LULL.

The famous «joup d'etat by which Napoleon III. gained control of Frauce Is vividly described iu the "Memoirs of Monsieur Claude." Among Uie many anecdotes of the eventful evening of Dec. 1, 1851, M. Claude glvai the following: "Comte de Moruy, the chief spirit of the nocturnal drama about to be performed, was at the Opera Comlque In order to allay suspicion. A lady said to him, 'M. de Morny, Is It true that they are going to sweep out the chamber?' 'Madame, I don't know anything about it,' he replied, 'but if there is any sweeping to be done I Bhall try to be on the aide of the broom handle.' " A Mother's 8aoriflce. Legends in India run that if a woman stricken with leprosy suffers herself to be burled alive the disease will not descend to her children. There was in the northwest provinces of India the wife of a gardener on whom the loathsome malady had fallen. Children were born to her. The disease? grew worse. She Importuned her husband to bury her alive. He at last, yielding to her prayers, summoned his son. The two dug the grave, und four neighbors assisted at the sepulture. So the woman died. These facts were Investigated in a magistrate's court and were proved, In Lengthy Term6. In the suburbs of one of our great cities recently a new resident stopped In front of his neighbor's gate and inquired of the boy swinging thereon: "Is your pa home, sonny?"

And as we have said before, we have received $1 for every year—no discounts ->r prizes—and we have the good will of our patrons in in the manner in wh'eh wo hare conducted the matte;-. As we note that other publishers aie still after ihe collections, we again wish to thank our friends for their promptness in: helping n.s fulfil' the law to the very letter. Going to Build? h i m .

Sure, if 1 was to live to be a thou *aud yeans old, I'll niver forget that. Twiw the u o r u l n ' before the ahower whin 1 was doiu' up uie mlaturesb' room, au' ahe aat on the aofy readin" her letters, I said, very rayspectful in deted. "ir it will wot iucouvaynience you'm, I'd like 8t. P a t r i c k s eve off. Me best irlend," I wlut on, "who Is after mm ryiu" Terence Mulhaly, is bavin' a chiny ahower. Oh, 'twill be grand! The other gurrls will all be takiu' her aomothin' vary line; but," au' 1 spoke sorrowful, "'tis little 1 cau do. I aint all me money to me fathyer an uilther io, Ireland, au' I've nothin' left to put on aveu a cracked cup fer Mary." An" I wiped me eye with the akirt av nie apron. "Whist now," says me misthress soft an' pleasant. She is a very kind lady, ye must know. "I guess it will not send me to the poorhouse to give >e a bit av chiny. Dhry yer eyes, an' come down to t h e chiny-closet with me. An' would ye belave it, before ye cud count tin, she had lepped up from t h e sofy, run down the stairs with me at her heels, thrown open the Klass dure av t h e chiny-closet, an' handed me out a fine, big pitcher! Twas a deep, dairk blue, with pink roses an' gilt all over wan side av it. Oh, 'twas t h e handsomest thing ye iver see! So ye can imagine 'twas very set up ! felt the night av the shower, whin I put on me Sunday dress an' started off with me grand pitcher all done up in tissue paper under me arm. Ye see, •'twas arranged that us gurrls was to KO airly, so as we could help Mary lay out the supper an' get things all ready fer the ahower against the time the b'ys come in about tin o'clock. Thin while all was enjoyin' t h e rayt'reshnientH we was to present the bride with t h e chiny. Well, we must all have started at ihe same time, fer by good luck we all ^ot to Mary's kitchen dure at the name time. Willie we were enjoyin' av ourselves there come a knock on the dure, so shairp an' sudden that it caused each wan av us to nigh jump out av our Hkins, Fer a minute we all held back, un' thin Mary stepped to the dure an' opened it, an' there, so close against it that she jumped, stood a man. "Isn't, this Miss llridget O'Reilly?' he says very polite an' pleasant; an' before Mary could answer, he went on, "I'm sure it is," steppin' In an' closin' the dure behind him, "t'er me sister in Ireland wrote me that she lived in this \ory house. She says, 'You will know her by her dairk eyes an' her swate smile.' " An' do ye know that, although he spoke to Mary, he give a sudden look past her an' smiled right at me; although Sheila, an' Biddy, an' Rosie nil continded afterward that. it. was square at thim he was lookin'. Oh, hut ho was handsome! It made your <\ve« glad to look at him. Tall an' straight an' slim, with a laughin' mouth a ^ gray eyes, keen as a eagle's. "I'm afraid I'm not t h e lady ye're lookin' fer." says Mary, in a soft voice. ' M e name is Mahaney!" "Mahaney! \'. he cried, fer all the world like m?'d found a fortune. Mahaney ' ?iot wan av t h e Mahaneys av—" "County Galway," spake up Mary. An' t h e next thing ye knew, before shrt cud say another word,, he had the two hands av her an' was shakin' thim vtp an' down, his eyes shinin' an* the teeth gl<*anrin' like snow in his dark faro Well, the ne<xt thing ye knew, that h'y had got us all laughin* an' car ryin' on tik« wp was kids agin. Och, there waa nothin" that end he done that h e didn't do it! He took t h e fltoekln' that Biddy Winn was "knittin' from her an' knit three rounds before ye cud say Jack Robinson—all the while a-telHn' some joke or a comical story that made our side? ache. Such rompln'! Oh, h e was the great cut-up! We shoved Mary, prctestin* an' acreamin', fnom the room, an' thin we untied t h e presents fer the chiny shower. Well, I'm lellin' ye, I had the suiprise av me life. There wasn't a gurrl there, mind ye, that hadn't a p!'->re av chiny as nice or lv*t;er than TTK> grand blue 'pitcher. I-Yr I he life av me, 1 rould not make it nut 1nsr other cup av fresh Lea apiece. An' h e begun tu sing. An, nh! 'twas t h e grand voice he had, an' Twas a prltty song am ye lver heard, with t h e gay rune av it. All at once he stopped short, looked up at t h e big, square clock tlckin" away on the mantelpiece, an" thin he sort av started, an" fer a minute u shadow tell aerost his face. 'Tnd ye iver hear av Cinderella," h e says, "her that had to lave the ball at the sthroke av 12? I'm her brother, an' I must be laviu" before the sthroke nv tin." "Fer why'.'" asks Rosie. "Fer t h e same rayson," he answers, his reckless eyes twlnkliu' again. Thin h e jumped up an" shook hands nil around. "Good-by," he says to me. "Cood-by, Nora av the proud O'Gradys, your murtherin' eyes have stabbed me to the hairt. An' Sheila, pale Sheila, 'tis like moonligHt on Lake Killarney ye are, an' 'tis niver I'll forget ye. An' Riddy Winn. >•'*» make a tramp dream av home, a rale home, with ye slttin' on wan side av t h e peat fire, knittln', an' him sittin' opposite, smokin' his pipe. An' now, Mary Mahaney, take the blessin' av a wanderer. 'Tls good luck forever, ye know." Thin the h'y walked over t o t h e dure, shut it shairp behind him an' was gone. An' even a s we stood there stharin' an' ready to rub our eyes, like we was just aroused from some enchantment that had been put on us, we heard heavy footsteps stampin' on the snow In W a l k s T i m Hogan outside an' the voices av the b'ys, an' in a minute they all come in—Terrence Mulhaly an' Roman Hinnessey an' Jawn Mather an' Hilly Cronin. "An' where's Tim Hogan?" we asked, lint not wan av thim knew, so supposin' he'd come in anny minute we thought, no more about it. Thin the b'ys ail crowded around the stove an' begun to laugh an' cut up. 'Tis thrue that most times us gurrls would have been ready enough to join in with thim; but all at wance they seemed quite different, "'Tis strange I niver noticed before what terrible manners they have," says Sheila Mooney 1o me, very disgusted. "Comparisons is ojus," I ray piled; "but 'tlfi haird not to make thim." Course, right away, us gurrls all got busy warmin' up the vittles an' settin' out t h e supper; but some way or other the hairt seemed to have gone out av all av us, an' although I will say fer meself, I kept me timper a n ' niver wance fergot I was a lady, the others became very cross an' disputatious. But \ve41ut what face on it we cud, an' before beginnin' to enjoy the rayfreshments, we all presented Mary with our pieces of chiny. Well, you should have seen t h e face on her whin ahe undid thim packages. 'Twas proud' an' pleased a n ' yet puzaled, an' it kept gettin' more so as she unrolled the paper from each grand ornymiut. An' while she was thryin' to thank ns t h e best she cud, in walks Tim Hogan, brushin' the snow off hfa uni form—he is a policeman, ye know— an' although 'twas a very cold night, MM 1 did b« toHtu' yer hiftsface waa r e d an' hot. *nd t h e perspiration was thricklln' down, his forehead under his helmet. Naturally, iverywan began 10 ask fer wby he wa» so laitj, "'TIB fer A good rayson," h»» says, \ery important an' yet cross. "There baa been a great robbery. Almost ivery houae ou Petunia place has been entered rhi» night. Yours, Sheila Mooney, an" yours, Nora Grady, an' yours, Biddy Winn. T h e police thought ihey hud him sure; but he slipped tight through their tingera and vanished likau quicksilver. I did not see him ineself, but Twas the line handsome crook he was, ihey towld me. I'd give something nice to lay me bauds on him." Before he hud finished, Kosie, she slipped through t h e dure Into the laundry. Stoppiu' only to whisper to Mary to kape t h e quiet tongue in her head- 1 cud tell by t h e way Sheila au Hiddy was lookin' at Tim that they had no intintlou av helpin' him out with army information 1 followed Rosie. There she was, sittin' on a upturned tub in that cowld, damp laundry, lit only by a feeble taper, cryiu' as if her hairt wild break. "Oh, Nora," she sobs whin she sees mo, runnin' to me . an' thruwln' her arms around me, "do ye belave It?" "Not I ! " I nays, very stout. "I'd stake me sowl's salvation that lie niver stole anny thing but halrts." "An' me, too," says Sheila, who had come in. "I don't know what he was, an' 1 don't c a r e ; but he was no thief." "Hut I know now," says Rosie, liftin' her head up, with a light on her face an' a kind av glory an' wonder in her eyes. " "Tis t h e prince av the fairies he was, stepped in on a St. Patrick's eve to call on the few that's left belavin' in him." H e n Lays Colored Eggs. Hiram Stilling* is telling his friends all about a favorite hen with a poetic soul and an inspiration toward higher things than the ordinary egg of commerce. He has dubbed it the Easter egg hen, because it lays colored eggs. When a bit of a chick last year, the fowl suffered a broken leg, and was taken into the kitchen to be nursed. It became a great pet, and when it got well spent most of t h e time in t h e house watching t h e women folks cook. One day t h e hen saw Mrs. Stillings coloring eggs for Easter. For several days t h e fowl wore a thoughtful air, and it is clear now that it had taken a firm resolve to lay only painted eggs when It grew up. Now, this hen a t e onion skins and indigo and calico print cloth, which, as everybody knows, can be used to color eggs. And in good time it began to lay eggs. Each egg that it laid was colored, and each egg had a different design, Mr. S t r i n g s refrains from declaring that t h e hen laid hard-boiled eggs, simply as a matter of policy.—Philadelphia North American.

There is not in the world a bridge Bpa.11 in either atone or c o m r e t e which approach** the dimensions of the proposed Henry Hudson memorial bridge to cross Spuyien Duyvll creek, says the New York Sun. The central span of that structure is to be 703 feet in the clear. In uteyl there already exibts a longer arch, that of tfte upper Niagara span, which measures 840 feet. T h e design of the Hell Gate bridge calls for a thousand foot arch of steel. But In concrete there is nothing like the big span which is tu link Mauhat tan to the mainland. The Engineering News declares that t h e largest completed concrete arch is that of t h e Gruuwald bridge over t h e Isar, at Munich. It is only 230 feet wide. The Walnut Lane concrete arch bridge, now being built, has a blightly longer span, 233 feet between faces of abutments. These spans become in significant, even, trivial, when com pared with that now proposed for the Hudson memorial bridge. A better idea of the boldness of the proposal is had from a - comparison with t h e general field of masonry arch conHtruction, since t h e problems of design and erection for arches of stone and concrete are in a measure t h e same. The Cabin John arch of the Washington aqueduct, 220 feet in -r^iian, built about half a century ago, was for a long time looked upon as a n exceptional achievement, being t h e largest stone arch in the world. Only In the last eight years has it been exceeded, and there are now three larger spans in stone, beside the 230-foot concrete arch a t Gruuwald— Adda, 230 feet; Luxemburg, 278 feet, and Plauen, 295 feet. In 50 years designers have ventured only one-third beyond the limits set by the Cabin John arch, and only in three cases have they found it necessary. Now in one leap the present limit is to be multiplied by two and a half. The Henry Hudson arch carries a double deck. The upper or main deck is a highway floor, SO feet wide between railings; it has a 50-foot roadway and two 15-foot sidewalks. The lower deck is to carry four tracks of a rapid transit railway, but as no such line is yet in p r o s p e r , t h e lower floor system is not to be put in place at first, but only the necessary connections provided for it. The total length of t h e bridge, including the approaches, is 2,840 feet. Its cost, excluding speclrd ornamental features, is estimated a t $3,800,000. About one-half of this Is chargeable to the largo arch and its superstructure. Sees Age of Aeroplanes. Henry Farnian, who h a s attracted notice because of his successful aeroplane experiments, believes that within 12 months aeroplanes will be flying from 50 to 100 miles quite easily. "I can fly now as long a s t h e motor works," he says, "and distance is nothing to me." Farnian is 30 years of age and is one of the three sons of a well-known English journalist. Ilefore taking to aeronautics Mr. Farman had made a considerable name in the French sporting world. When cycle racing was the rage he and his brother won many championships, ifiey formed a tandem team which proved invincible. Then he took to motoring, and won t h e Paris and Nice races in 1902. In t h e great Paris-to- Vienna race he gained first honors for heavy machines. His motor-racing career, however, eame to a sudden termination after an accident! which landed him high up in t h e branches of a tree. * < • * . POLITICAL.

As one from out side said, 'If you people live as good as your pastor preaches you are all right, and would have no tear of the judgement,1' There was over 100 in Sunday school and a growing interest seems to be manifest. The pastor has organized a catechism class out of the little ones of the church and they are commencing that study. A good idea, as now 19 the time to instruct them in the belie!. Their teachings now will never be fiivgotten. Coma to prayer meeting tonight. Ho, our citizens are not moving out only the annual spring cleaning. Things are growing since the rain. What is wanted now is warm weather. By the looks of the buds at present there is every promise of plenty of fruit. H. G.

The Ann Arbor News and Times have consolidated, the management of the Times having purchased the News- Argus ,ind outfit.

The new paper will be issued daily under the name oi the News, Times, and! Argus. i Mr. Totten is a humorous philoso-j pher, brimful of eloquence. He pre sents his subject in a masterly way. It i is premeated with beautiful thoughts,! and punctuated with humorous illus-! trations and pathetic incidents. It < will make you laugh.

The pastor surprised bis congregation by reading a very fine sermon. While many follow that plan .ve as a church, like Rev. Gates' way the better, viz., lo announce the subject and step from behind the pulpit and deliver the message by looking into the faces of the hearers and vice versa. The sermon in the evening was very much appreciated. The subject was, "Cheorfulness i n business." There will be no preaching next Sunday as Rey. Gates will be at the Ministerial meeting at Lansing.

JcS&\ riNCKKEY,: - MICHIGAN "In ttod Wo Trust." The pasaage by the huutie or representatives of the bill to restore to the United Slates coinage the motto "iu God we trust" wah accomplished by a vole so overwhelming as to be almobt unanimous. Five members only out of :i60 voted against it. The action, which was the direct result of widespread agitation and innumerable protests and petitions from religious persons and associations, will undoubtedly be regarded as disc-lowing a deep and farreaching religious sentiment through mt the country; and thai view 1» probably just. The controversy which gave rise to thin vote, states the Youths' Companion, was started by the decision to ornit the motto from the gold :oius designed by Mr. Saint-Gaudens, but the coin on which it originally appeared was the two-cent piece of 1864. The period was one of great nation:1.! depression and of deep religious Reeling. The peril of the union lay heavily on men's hearts, and caused the serious-minded to turn their thoughts more than was their wont to the Creator for help and comfort. A Pennsylvania clergyman had written to the •secretary of the treasury, suggesting the recognition of the Deity in some •Jevice on national coinage. The suggestion was passed on by Secretary Chase to James Pollock, a deeply religious man, formerly governor of Pennsylvania, whom President Lincoln had made director of the mint. Mr. Pollock suggested as mottos for the new one, two and three-cent pieces which were p.bout to be issued, either "Our country, our God," or "God our trust.'' Secretary Chase in his reply said: "I approve your mottos, only suggesting that the one be changed to read, 'Our LJod and our country,' and the other 'In Hod we trust.' " Mr. Pollock was a jlose friend as well as the appointee yf Lincoln, and it is regarded as quite probable that the martyred president •tlmself had a voice in the selection of :he motto finally adopted. The hisory of the inscription, therefore, as well as its sentiment, was such as to nake the omission of it seem to many /Vmericans a double sacrilege. Power of t h e . Government. The arraignment before a United States district judge in Chicago of :-.6 uen charged with violation of the antiottery laws and arrested in different parts of the country recalls the extent )f the lottery business until federal •aws rigidly enforced put an end to he concerns so far as existence in the United States was concerned. Loteries of the character possessed in earlier times, which flourished under the enormous patronage enjoyed and which were carried on openly, are now unknown here. The very facts In the ^ases under consideration go to show that the concerns in question were ronducted under false pretenses. They "ould not do business otherwise. Rut sooner or later, Bays the Troy (X. Y.) Times, the federal power which suppressed the great lottery corporations ™ce supposed to be impregnably intrenched overthrew the business, and i demoralizing influence came to an nnd. Incidentally the history of American lotteries goes to prove that nationil authority can do what states some- Imes seem powerless or disinclined o accomplish. And everyone inter !sted in the moral welfare of the people Is content to see such power exercised. The prefect of police oi Paris has »ssued an edict barring all hand-organs 'rom the streets. This action has railed forth a storm of protest, not Mily from the organ grinders, of whom 'here is an army, but from multitudes of residents, young and old, who appear to regard enjoyment of the form jf music in question as an inalienable ight. But the prefect remains firm, md the hand-organs must ge. Just what ground the prefect takes is not rtated, but, remarks the Troy (N. Y.) Flmes, it must seem to the average American at least that there are worse ?vils than organ-grinding. If the object. Is to get rid of the noise, which io doubt 1R objectionable to some sensitive ears, think how much worse is he racket marie in other ways. Some irlsitors to Paris have declared that he noises of the French capital are nore varied, nerve-racking and ear piercing than any heard in the United States. No doubt the organs add to "be din, yet there is no occasion for surprise tfcat there is indignation over * • attempt to suppress "the music of ftmmm» BLINDFOLDED A Mystery Story off San Francisco BY KAKLK ASHLEY WALCOTT tCul'jrlgbl JWC, t b t UOHJ* Slernil On.; SYNOPSIS. d i e s Dudley arrived in San Francisco to join hi* friend und di«iutit relutlve Henry Wilton, whom he was to assist in an important and mysterious task, and \siio ueiomnanied Dudley on the ferry boat trip into the oily. The reliiarkublt* resemblance, of the two men is noted and commented on by passengvra on the terry. They see a man with snake eyes, which sends a thrill through Dudlt-y. Wilton postpones an explanation of the slraiiKe errand Dudley is to perform, but occurrences cause him to know it Is one of no ordinary meaning. Wilton leaves Giles in their room, with instruction to await his return and shoot any one who p i e s to enter. Outside, there is heard shouts and curses and the noise of a Quarrel. Henry rushes in and at his request the roommates quickly exchange clothes, and he hurries out again. Hardly has he gnii« than Giles la startled by a cry of "Help." and he runs out to find some one being assaulted by a half doaen men. He summons a policeman but they are unable to find any trace of a crime. Giles returns to his room and hums for some evidence that might explain his strange mission. He finds a map which he endeavors to decipher. Dudley is summoned to the morgue and there finds the dead body of his friend, Henry Wilton. And thus Wilton dies without ever explaining to Dudley the puazlfng work he was to perform in San Francisco. Iu order to discover the secret mission Ids friend had entrusted to him. Dudley continues his disguise and permits himself to he known as Henry Wilton. Dudley. mistaken for Wilton, is employed by Knapp to assist in a stock brokerage deal. "Dicky" takes the supposed Wilton to Mother Burton's. Mother Horton discovers that he is not Wilton. The lights are turned out and a free for all fight follows. Giles Dudley finds himself closeted in a room with Mother Horton who makes a confidant of him. He can learn nothing about the mysterious hoy further than that It is Tim Tenill and Darbv Meeker who are after him. He is told that "Dicky' Nahl is a traitor, playing both hands in the game. Giles finds himself locked in a room. He escapes through a window. The supposed Wilton carries out his dead friend's work with Doddridge Knapp. He has his first experience as a capitalist in the Hoard Room of the Stork hlxcliunge Dudley receives a fictitious note purporting to be from Knapp, the forgers of which he readily detects, Dudley gris his filst k n o w l e d g e of D e c k e r , w h o is Knapp s ( nemy on the Hoard. CHAPTER XI.—Continued. The call closed amid animation; but the excitement was nothing compared to the scene that had followed the fall in the morning. Omega stood at eighty asked, and seventy-eight bid, and the ship of the stock gamblers was again sailing on an even keel. The session was over at i.vst, and Wallbridge and Eppner handed me their memoranda of purchases. "You couldn't pick Omega off the bushes this afternoon, Mr. Wilton," said Wallbridge, wiping his bald head vigorously. "There's fools at all times, and some of 'em were here and ready to drop what they had; but not many. I gathered in six hundred for you, but I had to fight for it." I thanked the merry broker, %nd gave him a check for his balance Eppner had done better with a wider margin, but. all told I had added but three thousand one hundred shares to my list. I wondered how much of this had been sold to me by my employer. Plainly, if Doddridge Knapp was needing Omega stock he would have to pay for it. There was no one to be seen as I reached Room 1,'. The connecting door was closed and locked, and no sound came from behind it. I turned to arrange the books, to keep from a bad habit of thinking over the inexplicable. An hour passed and no Doddridge Knapp. It, was long past, office hours. Just as I was considering whether my duty to my employer constrained me wait longer, I caught sight of an envelope that had been slipped under the door. It was in cipher, but it yielded to the key with which Doddridge Knapp had provided me. I made it out to be this: "Come to my house to-night. Bring your contracts with you. Knapp." I was thrown into some perplexity by this order. For a little I suspected a trap, but. on second thought this Reemed unlikely. The office furnished aa convtenlent a place for homicidal diversions as he could wish, if these were in his intention, and possibly a visit to Doddridge Knapp in his own house would give me a better clue to his hahlts and purposes, and a better chance of bringing home to him his awful crime, than a month together on the Street. The clocks were pointing past, eight when 1 mourned the steps that, led to Doddridge Knapp's door. 1 had something of trepidation, after all, as I rang the bell, for I was far from being sure that Doddridge Knapp was above carrying out bis desperate purposes in b4i o/wn bouse, and I wondered whether i should ever come out again, once • bphtmi those ui&BBltv*rluui. 1" hed taken the precaution to ttnd a smaller revolver1, "suitable for an evening call," as I assured myself, but it did not look to be much of a protec tlon in case t h e house held a dozen ruffians of the Terrill brand. How ever, 1 must risk iL 1 gave my name to the Bervant wfcp opeaed the door "This way," he said quietly, and in a moment 1 was ubhered into a small, plainly-furnished room; and at a desk covered with papers sat Doddridge Knapp, ihe picture of the Wolf in his den. "Sit down, Wilton," said he with grim affability, giving his hand. "You won't mind if an old man doesn't get up." 1 made some conventional reply. •Sony to disappoint you this afternoon, and take up your evening," he said, "but 1 found some business that needed more immediate attention. There was a little matter that had to be looked alter in person." And the Wolf's fangs showed in a cruel smile, which assured me that the "little matter" had terminated unhappily for the other man. I airily professed myself happy to be at his service at any time. "'Yes, yes," he said; "but let's see your memoranda. Did you do well this afternoon".'" "No-tj," 1 returned apologetically. "Xot so well as 1 wished." He took the papers and looked over them carefully. "Thirty-one hundred," he said reflectively. "Those sales were all right. Well, I was afraid you couldn't get above three thousand. I didn't get more than two thousand in the other Hoards and on the Street." "That was the best I could do," 1 said modestly. "They averaged at sixty five. Omega got away from us this afternoon like a runaway horse." "Yes, yes," said the King of the Street, studying his papers with drawn brows. "That's all right, i l l have to wait a bit before going further." I bowed as became one who had no idea of the plans ahead. "And now," said Doddridge Knapp, turning on me a keen and lowering gaze, "I'd like to know what call you have to be spying on me?" 1 opened my eyes wide in wonder. "Spying? 1 don't understand." "Xo?" said he, with something between a growl and a snarl. "Well, maybe you don't understand that, eith- V37JJ& TV *yr»r imcr <nzf >rxf H4VX 2c ac•vwfT/SKWTtrr er!" And he tossed me a bit of paper. I felt sure that I did not. My ignorance grew into amazement, as I read. The slip bore the words: "I have bought Crown Diamond. What's the limit? Wilton." "I certainly don't understand," I said. "What does it mean?" "The man who wrote it ought to know," growled Doddridge Knapp, with his eyes flashing and the yellowgray mustache standing out like bristles. The fangs of the Wolf were in sight. "Well, you'll have to look somewhere else for him," I said firmly. "I never saw the note, and never bought a share of Crown Diamond." Doddridge Knapp bent forward and looked for an instant as though he would leap upon me. His eye was the eye of a wild beast In anger. If I had written that note I should have gone through the window without, stopping for explanations. As I had not written it 1 sat there coolly and looked him in the face with an easy conscience. "Well, well," he said at last, relaxing his gaze, "I almost, believe yon." "There's no use going any further, Mr. Knapp, unless you believe me altogether." "I see you understand what. I was going to say," he said quietly. "But if you didn't, send that, who did?" "Well, if I were to make a guess, T should say it. was the man who wrote this." I tossed him in turn the note I had received in the afternoon, bidding me sell everything. The King of the Street looked at it carefully, and his brows drew lower and lower as its import dawned on him. The look of angry perplexity deepened on his face. ' W h e r e did yon get this?" I detailed the circumstances. The anger that flashed in his eyes was more eloquent than the outbreak o£ curses I expected to hear. "Urn!" he said at last with a grim smile: "It's lucky, after all, that yuU hud something besides cotton in that sHul) of yam's, Wilton." "A fool might have been caught by it," 1 said modestly. "There looks to be trouble ahead," he t>ald. "There's a rascally gang in the market theso days." And the King of the Street sighed over the dis honesty rhat had corrupted the stock gamblers' trade. I smiled inwardly, but signified my agreement with my employer. "Well, who wrote them?" he asked almost fiercely. "They seem to come from the same hand." "Maybe you'd better ask that fellow who had his eye at your keyhole when 1 left the office this noon." Who was that?" . T h e Wolf gave a startled look. "Why didn't you tell me?" "He was a well-made, quick, lithe fellow, with an eye that reminded me of a snake. 1 gave chase to him, but couldn't overhaul him. He squirmed away in the crowd, 1 guess." - "Why didn't you tell trie?" he said in a steady voice. "J didn't suppose it was worth coming back for, after 1 got into the street. And, besides, you were busy." "Yes, yes, you were right: you are not to come -of course, of course." The King of the Street looked at me curiously, and then said smoothly: "But this isn't business." And he plunged into the papers once more. "There were over nine thousand shares sold this afternoon, and I got only five thousand of them." "I suppose Decker picked the others up," 1 said. The King of the Street did me the honor to look at me in amazement. "Decker!" he roared. "How did you—" Then he paused and his voice dropped to its ordinary tone. "I reckon you're right. What gave you the idea?" I frankly detailed my conversation with Wallbridge. As I went on, I fancied that the bushy brows drew down and a little anxiety showed beneath them. I had hardly finished my account when there was a knock at the door, and the servant appeared. "Mrs. Knapp's compliments, and she would like to see Mr. Wilton when you are done," he said. 1 could with difficulty repress an exclamation, and my heart climbed into my throat. I was ready to face the Wolf in his den, but here was a differ ent matter. 1 recalled that was a more intimate acqua Henry Wilton's than Doddridge Knapp had been, and I saw Niagara ahead of my skiff. "Yes, yes; quite likely," said my employer, referring to my story of Wallbridge. "I heard something of the kind from my men. I'll know to-morrow for certain, I expect. I forgot to tell you that the ladies would want to see you. They have missed you lately." And the Wolf motioned me to the door whet the servant waited. Here w w a predicament. I was missed and wanted—and by the ladies. My heart dropped back from ray throat, and I felt it throbbing in the lowest recesses of my boot-heels as 1 rose and followed my guide. A^s. Knapp lalntanco of CHAPTER X I I . Luella Knapp. Two women rose to greet me as I entered the room. "Good evening," said the elder woman, holding out her hand. "You have neglected us for a long time." There was something of reproach as well as civility in ihe voice. "Yes," I replied, adjusting my maner nicely to her, "I have been very busy." "Busy? How provoking of you to say so! You should never he too busy to take the commands of the ladies." "That is why I am here," I interrupted with my best bow. But she continued without, noting it: "Luella wagered with me that you would make that, excuse. I expected something more original." "I am very sorry," 1 said, with a reflection of the bantering air she had assumed. "Oh, indeed!" exclaimed the younger woman, to whom my eyes had turned as Mrs. Knapp spoko her name. "How very unkind of you to say so, when I have just won a pair of gloves by it. Good evening to you!" And she held out. her hand. It was with a strong effort that. I kept my self-possession, as for the first, time I clasped the hand of Luella Knapp. Was It the thrill of her tovich, the glance of her eye, or the magnetism of her presence, that set. my pulses beating to a, new measure, and gave my spirit, a breath from a new world? What, ever the case, as 1 looked into the clear-cut face and the frank gray eyes of the woman before me, T was swept by a flood of emotion that, was near overpowering my self-control. I mastered the emotion in a moment and took the seat, to which she had waved me. I was puzzled a little at the tone In which she addressed me. There was — W W — f — — — — u suggestion of resentment in her man ner that grew on me as we talked. ^Vfea MtietJciibtj tuuZ Qteefca* use to try'' Sb« was uot^eautltokl, jtad 1*9- ty" was t o f ^ e t t y ^ ^ c ^ t e j j f r p l y y o Luella Jfnapp "Flne^lpojpng', if said with theturoJi<$r^j|>5slB;' v&t&U Blfe some ldeV<rf«wc»»«i* •")-*»*» "*fa*" * # » -tail iu fitfurtv wrth M***r*>iH**t-w«>»e impressive in their aXJUacUNaueiis.

The admiration I felt for the young woman d«e» eried with every sentence she spoke, and I was ready to do anything to restore the good opinion that Henry might have endangered, and iu lieu of apology exerted myself to the utmost to bo agreeable. 1 was unconscious of the flight oi time tintil Mrs. Knapp turned from some otheT'guests and walked" to ward us. "Come, Henry," she said pointedly, "Luella is not to monopolize you all the time. Besides, there's Mr. luuian dying to speak to her." I promptly hated Mr. Inman with all my heart and felt not the slightest objection to his demise; but at her gesture of command I rose and accompanied Mrs. Knapp, as a young man with eye-glasses and a smirk came to take my place. I left Luella Knapp, congratulating myself over my cleverness in escaping the pitfalls that lined my way. "Now I've a chance to speak to you at last," said Mrs. Knapp. "At your service," I bowed. "I owe you something." "Indeed?" Mrs. Knapp raised her eyebrows in surprise. "For your kind recommendation to Mr. Knapp." "My recommendation? You have a little the advantage of me." I was stricken with painful doubts, and the cold sweat started upon me. Perhaps this was not Mrs. Knapp after all. "Oh, perhaps you didn't mean it." I said. "Indeed I did, if ft was a recommendation. I'm afraid it was unconscious, though. Mr. Knapp does not consult me about his business." I was in doubt no longer. It was the injured pride of the wife that spoke in the tone. "I'm none the less obliged," I said carelessly. "He assured me that he acted on your words." "What on earth are you doint; for Mr. Knapp?" she asked earnestly, dropping her hali-bantering tone. There was a trace of apprehenson in her eyes. "I'm afraid Mr. Knapp wouldn't think your recommendations were quite justified if I should tell you Just get him in a corner and ask him." "1 suppose it is that dreadful stock market." "Oh, madam, let me say the chicken market. There is a wonderful opportunity just now for corner in fowls." "There are a good many to be plucked in the market that Mr. Knapp will look after," she said with a smile. But there was something of a worried look behind it. "Oh, you know, Henry, that I can't bear the market. I have seen too much of the misery that has come from it." She shuddered as she looked about her, as though in fancy she saw herself turned from the palace into the street. "Mr. Knapp is not a man to lose," I said. "Mr. Knapp is a strong man,'' she said with a proud straigtening nf her figure. "But the whirlpool can suck down the strongest swimmer." (TO B E CONTINUED.) Python as Stowaway.

CHAPTER X. A Tangle of Schemes, Do'ldridtfo Knapp was seated calmly In i:iy office when I opened the door. These was a grim smile about the linn jaws, and a satisfied glitter in the keen eyes. The Wolf had found his prey, ;md the dismay of the sheep at the sh;ht of his fan^s ^ave him satisfaction instead of distress. The King of the Street honored me with a royal nod. "There seems to have been a little surprise for somebody on the Hoard this morning," lie sus^ested. "I heard something about it on the street," I admitted. "It was a good plan and worked well. Let me see your memoranda of purchases." 1 gavo him my slips. He looked over them with growing pe; plexity in his face. "Here's twelve thousand five hundred shares of Omega." "Yes." "You paid too much for that first lot." He was still poring over tho list. •"It's easier to see Hi at now than then," I suggested dryly. "Humph! yea. Hut there's something wrong here." He was comparing my list, with another in his hand. "There!" I thought; "my confound ed ignorance has made a mess of if." But I spoke with all the confidence I could assume: "What's the matter, now?" "Eleven thousand and twelve thousand five hundred make twenty-three thousand Ave hundred; and here are sales of Omega this morning of thirtythree thousand eight, hundred and thirty." He seemed to be talking more to himself than to me, and to be far from pleased. .J.'How'g that? I don't understand." 1 was all in the dark over his, musings. "I picked up eleven thousand shares ix^^he other Boards this morning, and twelve thousand five hundred through yJQ^.but somebody has taken in the qUW; ten. thousand." The King of the Street seemed puzzled and, I thought, h. little worried. "Well, you got over twenty-three thousand shares," I suggested consolingly, "Thafn a pretty good morning's work." The King of the Street gave me a i contemptuous glance. "Don't he a fool, Wilton. I sold ten thousand of (hose shares to mvself." A new light, broke upon me. 1 was getting lessons of one of the many ways in which t h e marked tfas Thartipulated. ; '' l" ' ' " "Then' yoii' thlnlc 'thaf sotttoVady else—" - • ' T h e King: of" the Sftreet 'broke ' la with a grim smile. "Never ralnd what I thlak. I've got the contract for doing the thinking fur this job, uud 1 reckon 1 can 'mad to it." The great speculator was silent tor a few muuieiua. "1 might as well be frank with you," he said ai laat. "You'll have to knuw something tu work iutelllguuUy. I must get control of the Omega Company, and to do it I've got to have more stock. I've been afraid of a combination against nu*, and 1 guess I've struck it. 1 cau't be sure yet, but when those ten thousaud shares were gobbled up ou a pauicky market, I'll bet there's something up." "Who is in itV" 1 asked politely. "They've kept themselves covered," said the King of the Street, "but I'll have them out iu the opeu before the end. And then, my boy, youii see the fur tiy." "I've got a few men staked out," he continued slowly, "and 1 reckon I'll know something about it by this time to-morrow." There was the growl of the Wolf in his voice. "Now for this afternoon," he continued. "There's got to be some sharp work done. I reckou the falling move ment is over. We've got to pay for what we get from now on. I've got a man looking after the betweeu-Hoard trading. With the scare that's on in the chipper crowd out there, I look to pick up a thousand shares or so at about forty." "Well, what's the programme?" I asked cheerfully. "Buy," he said briefly. "Take everything that's offered this side of seventy- five." "Urn—there's a half-million wanted already to settle for what I bought this morning." The bushy brows drew down, but the the King of the Street answered lightly: "Your check is good for a million, my boy, as long as it goes to settle lor what you're ordered to buy." Then he added grimly: "I don't think you'd find it worth much for anything else." There was a knock at the door beyond and he hastily rose. "Be here after the two-thirty session," he said. And the Wolf, huge and masterful, disappeared with a stealthy tread, and the door closed softly behind him. I wondered idly who Doddridge Knapp's visitor might be, but as I could see no way of finding out, and felt no special concern over his identity or purposes, I rose and left the office. As I stepped into the hall I discovered that, somebody had a deeper curiosity than I. A man was stooping to the keyhole of Doddridge Knapp's room in the endeavor to see or hear. As he heard the sound of my opening the door he starred up, and with a hound, was around the turn of the hall and pattering down the stairs. In another bound I was after him. I had seen his form for hut a second, and his face not, at all. But in that, second I knew him for Tim Terrill of the snake-eyes and the murderous purpose. When I reached the head of the stairs he was nowhere to he seen, hut 1 heard the patter of his feet helow and plunged down three steps at a time and into Clay street, nearly upsetting a stout gentleman in my haste. The street, was busy with people, but no sign of the snake-eyed man greeted me. Much disturbed in mind at this apparition of my enemy, I sought in vain for some explanation, of his presence. Was he spying on Doddridge Knapp? What, treachery was he shaping in his designs on the man whoso bread he was eating and whose plans of crime he was the chief agent, to assist, or execute? I was roused by a man humping into me roughly. I suspected that he had dorxc j t on purpose, and started by him briskly, when he spoke in a low tone: "You'd better go to your room, Mr. Wilton." He said something more that I did not catch, and, reeling on, disappeared in the crowd before I could turn to mark or question him. 1 thought at' first that he meant, the room [ had just left. Then it occurred to rue that it was the room Henry had occupied—the room In which I had spent my first dreadful night in San Francisco, and had not revisited In the thirty hours since I bad left It. The advice aimed by inclination, and iu a few minutes I was watering the dingy building and climbing the worn and creaking.stairs. The place lost its air of mystery iu the broad sunshine arid penetrating daylight, and though its interior was as gloomy aa ever, it lacked the haunting suggestions it had borrowed from darkness and the night. Slipped under the door 1 found two notes. One was from Detective Coogau, and read: "Inquest thio afternoon. Don't want you. Have another story. Do you want the body?" The other was iu a women's hand, and the faint perfume of the first note I had received ruse from the sheet. It read: "I do not understand your silence. The money is ready. What Is the matter?" The officer's note was easy enough to answer. 1 found paper, and, assuring Detective Coogan of my gratitude at escaping the inquest, 1 asked him to turn the body over to the undertaker to be buried at my order. The other note was more perplexing. I could make nothing of it. It was evidently from my unknown employe!-, and her anxiety was plain to see. But I was no nearer to finding her than before, and if I knew how to reach her I knew not what to say. As I was contemplating this state of affairs with some dejection, and sealing my melancholy note to Detective Coogan, there was a quick step in the hall and a rap at the panel. It was a single person, so I had no hesitation in opening the door, but it gave me a passing satisfaction to have my hand on the revolver in my pocket as I turned the knob. It was a boy, who thrust a letter Into my hand. "Yer name Wilton?" he inquired, still holding on to the envelope. "Yes." "That's yourn, then." And he was prepared to make a bolt. "Hold on," I said. "Maybe there's an answer. "No, there ain't. The bloke as gave it to me said there weren't." "Well, here's something I want you to deliver," said I, taking up my note to Detective Coogan. "Do you know where the City Hall is?" "Does I know—what are yer givin' us?" said the boy with infinite scorn iu his voice. "A quarter," I returned with a laugh, tossing him the coin. "Wait a minute." "Yer ain't bad stuff," said the hoy with a grin. 1 tore open the envelope and read on the sheet that came from it: "Sell everything you bought—never mind the price. Other orders off. D. K." I ; gasped with am'azemefet. Had Doddridge Knapp gone road-?' To sell twe4vp thousand five; hundred Shares of Omega was sure to smash the market, and the half-million dollars that had been put into them would probably shrink by two hundred thousand or more if the order was carried out. I read the note again. Then a suspicion large enough to overshadow the universe grew up in my mind. I recalled that Doddridge Knapp had given me a cipher with which lie would communicate with me, and I believed, moreover, that he had no idea where L might be at the present moment. "It's all right, sonny," I said. "Trot along." "Where's yer letter?" asked the hoy, loyally anxious to earn his quarter. "It won't have to go now," I said coolly. I believed that the hoy meant no harm to me, but I was not taking any risks. The boy sauntered down the hall. "Well, I must look like a sucker if they think I can be taken in by a trick like that," was my mental comment. I charged the scheme up to my snakeeyed friend and had a poorer opinion of his intelligence than I had hitherto entertained. Yet I was astonished that he should, even with the most hearty wish to bring about my downtoll, contrive a plan that would inflict a heavy loss on his employer and possibly ruin him altogether. There was more beneath than I could fathom. My brain refused to work in the maze of contradictions and mysteries, plots and counterplots, in which I was involved. I took my way at last toward the market, and, hailing a boy to whom I intrusted my letter to Detective Coo gan, walked brisklv to Pine street. C H A P T E R X I . The Den of the Wolf. The street had changed its appearance in the two or three 4tours since I had made my -way from the Kx change through the pallid, panicstricken mob. There were still thousands of people between the corner of Montgomery Street and Loidcsdorff, and the little alley itself was packed full of shouting, struggling traders. But there was an air of confidence, almost of buoyancy, in place of the gldom and terror that had lowered over the street at noon. Plainlv tha ii _ •? , .

Walibiidge was his name, I found, and he proved to be as intelligent at. I could wish- -a merry little man, with a joke for all things, and a flow ol words that was almost overwhelming "Omega? Yes," chuckled the stout .little broker, after he had assured himself of my financial standing. "But you oyght to have bought this morn lug, If that's what you want. It wat hell popping and the roof giving 'wa> all at once." The little man had a t abundant stock of profanity which he used unconsciously and with suet original variations that one almost for got the blasphemy of it while listen Ing to him. "You ought to have beet there," he continued, "and watched tin; boys shell 'em out!" "Yes, I heard you had lively times.' "Boiling," he said with coruscating additions in the way of speech and gesture. "If it hadn't been for Deck er and some fellow we havu't had a chance to make out yet the bottom ol the market would have been resting ou the roof of the lower regions." The little man's remark* was slightly more direct and forcible, but this will do for a revised version. "Decker!" I exclaimed, pricking up my ears. "I thought he had quit the market." As I had never heard of Mr. Decker before that moment this was not exactly the truth, but I thought it would serve me better. "Decker out of It!" gasped Wallbridge, his bald head positively glistening at the absurdity of the idea. "He'll be out of it when he's carried out." "I meant out of Omega. Is he getting up a deal?" The little broker looked vexed, as though it crossed his mind that he had said too much. "Oh, no. Guess not. Don't think he is," he said rapidly. "Just wanted to save the market, I guess. If Omega had gone five points lower there would have been the sickest times in the Street that we've seen since the Bank of California closed and the shop across the way"—pointing his thumb at the Kxchange—"had to be shut up. But maybe it wasn't Decker, you know. That's just what was rumored on the Street, you know." I suspected that my little broker knew more than he was willing to tell, but 1 forbore to press him further, and gave him the order to buy all the Omega stock he could pick up under fifty. In the Exchange all was excitement, and the first call brought a roar of struggling brokers. I could make nothing of the clamor, but my nearest neighbor shouted in my ear: "A strong market!" "ll looks that way," I shouted back. It certainly was strong in noise, I made out. at, last that, prices were being held to the figures of the morning's session, and in some cases wero forced above them. Forty-five— forty-seven —fifty-five— Omega was going up by leaps. 1 blessed the forethought that had suggested to me to put a limit on Wallbridge .at fifty. The contest grew warmer. I could follow with difficulty the course of the proceedings, but 1 knew that Omega was bounding upward. ( T O HC C O N T I N t ' K D . l A Paying Crop. F. W. Burbridge, M. A., of Dublin, In his opening address at the narcissus conference, held in 1S96, said: "An acre of wheat or potatoes may be put. down as worth from £20 to £50, according to locality, variety, etc., but an acre of choice daffodils or narcissuses may be worth anything from £ 5 0 to £500, or even more." The advisability of blending bulbgrowing with the culture of flowering roots of all kinds is increasingly apparent, and thus tho chance of success is widened. In addition, flower production may be regarded as a verynatural aid to the enlargement of the scope of the bulb grower. There is an astonishing demand in large cities for the very commonest kinds of blossoms, and many a grower- is adding substantially to his annual turnover and profits by the production of these ordinary flowers.—Dundee Advertiser. m q m* [ i ' . , — What She Wanted.

TU« blaze broke out at 3:3U a. m., when practically ait the guests in the alx-itory building were asleep, aud spread so rapidly that few iu the upper floors were able to escape through the hotel corridors to the ground floor. The hotel was provided with fire escapes, but few seemed to know It, aa hardly anyone used theui, even though some of the guests have been stopping in the house occasionally for years. The hotel was 50 years old, built of brick und wood. Originally it was four stories high, two mure stories, beiug added a dozen years ago. It burned like tinder. The hotel register was destroyed, »o the list of guests Is not known, but it la thought that 74 were there. There were mauy thrilling escapes, aud many were injured by jumping from the Windows. Chaiiea Benjamin, of Detroit, was killed. F. C. O'Dounell, of Detroit, aud F. C. Phillips, of Calumet, were among the injured. There were 13 seriously injured and a score more i,alufully burned or hurt. Admiral Evans Retires. In a great naval and military parade at San Francises Saturday morning to mark the arrival of the battleship fleet, Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans made his last public appearance as an active naval officer. He will retire from the service iu a few days. Between 7,000 and $,000 seamen, said to be the greatest number of U. S. bluejackets and marines ever to come ashore at one time to take part in a procession in any city, lined up in the parade, under command of Capt. Seaton Schroeder. Admiral Evans rodo in a callage ahead of them. In all 15,000 soldiers and sailors made up the line, including 2,500 men of the regular army, under Gen. Fuuston, and the national guardsmen uud naval reserves of California. Atlanta's Big Fire. Two solid business blocks of /Atlanta, Georgia, are in ruins today as thu result of a fire which threatened for a time to carry its destruction through the business section of the city and perhaps wipe out the entire down-town district. The fire loss may be conservatively estimated at $1,500,000. The Terminal hotel, one of the largest in the city, Is a mass of bricks. It had on his register 200 guests when the fire si.arr ed. a block away. Nearby were several other i m a i hotels, but in these there was uo IO.S-S of iiff nor was there any in the Terminal hotel.

You Would Not Accept Counterfeit Money, Why Accopt Counterfeit Goods? Good money is made by the Government in which you have implicit faith and confidence. Good goods are made by manufacturers who are willing to stake their reputations on the quality of the material offered to you through the medium of their advertisements in this paper. Counterfeit goods are not advertised. The reason for it is they will not bear the close scrutiny to which genuine advertised goods are subjected. Counterfeit money pays more profit to the counterfeiter. Counterfeit goods are offered to you for the same reason. Insist on the Genuine—Reject the Counterfeit. COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT. The time to complain about paint Is before the painter applies it. The man who puts up the money should ' not shirk the responsibility of choosing the paint.

"I deem it my duty to let you know how Grape- Nuts food has cured me of Indigestion. "I had been troubled with it for years, until last year my doctor recommended Grape-Nuts food to be used every morning. I followed instructions and now I am entirely well. "The whole family like Grape-Nuts, we use four packages a week. You are welcome to use this testimonial as you see fit." The reason this lady waa helped by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it is predigested by natural processes and therefor* does not tax the stomach as the food she had been using; it also contains the elements required for hulhJlnjf up the nervous Rystem. If that part of the human body is in perfect working order, there can be no dyspepsia, for nervous energy represents the steam that drives* the engine. When the nervous Rystem Is run down, the machinery of the body works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be used by small children as well as adults. It la perfectly cooked and ready for Instant use.

Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membrane.

Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CA5ADEHSia The wonderful efflcac* of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CTTBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Perona which constitutes a specific remedy lor catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLDTSOHIA CAXADEffSIS, COfiYDALIS F0EM08A and CEDEOH SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Humberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience ennflrms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken. Manufactured by Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio. x " , z«r. • f t .

NOW S T I C K A P I N H E R E - Apart from inheritance, and fortunately only a few of us are inheritors of money, there are but two ways to get it. The one way is to earn it; the other to make your money earn it. The way to make your money earn it is to invest it in something that will actually make money and so make your money make money. The important thing is to S E E the opportunity; use the brain to investigate it and have the COURA G E to ACT. Many see, some investigate, but ACTION alone brings success. An investment that is a good one will earn 10, 20, 40, sometimes 100 per cent. May earn 500. You may say can $100 be safely invested and be made to pay you more than 5 or 6 per cent?

While in Howell last Thursday, it was the privilege of the editor ot the DIMFATCH, upon an invitation of Secretary Kichards, ot the Mutual Telephone Co., to attend a meeting ol the board. It was a special meeting and was called for the purpose of looking into the n atter ot the purchase of the Michigan State exchange at Howell and coutrolling the satue. J. E. Scott ot Lansing, divibion manager of the Mich. State, was present and made a proposition to the Mutual and the matter waa disuuased at length aud every aide ot the question brought up. Of com se, if the purchase is made it will open up the city of Howell to the iilutual to aell stock in and many ot the citizens of the county seat have always been anxious to get in with the Mutual aa they realize that it gives them the best all round service with just the peaple they want. We understand that several thousand dollars ot stock has been spoken ior providing the deal goes through. The board ot course are doing some canvassing but before the matter will be closed there will be a meeting of stockholders called and they will have a chance to vol) on the matter and it will be as they say by their ballot. The matter will also be placed be them beforehand in such & manner that all will understand why the change should be made and just what it means to the Mutual people. Personally we are in favor of the purchase and have said many times that the Mutual company should own the exchange in the county. The Mutual was never in better condition than at the present time and we can see no reason why they should not own and control the exchange in the County Seat. The time is coming when it would have to build in the city limits anyway, and they can purchase now cheaper than they could ever hope to construct.

For years after the advent ot steam the cheapness of fuel made water po ver seem of little comparative value. Often it was found in localities that were almost inaccessible for practical use. Today with improved machinery for absorbing water power and converting it into electrical current, a stream that trickles down a remote mountainside or in the depths of an inaccessible canon, the power can be utilized at 10 or 100 miles distance and made to do important work fpr the benefit of thousands of people. There are several good places in this vicinity where the water power j could be made very effective and the i wonder is that some company does | does not buy them up and make light lor the entire country around bere as well as for the several small villages. Why does not some one investigate? The Huron river is making all kinds of power in Washtenaw county but we have a stream near here that would be almost equal to the Huron if developed. M. E.

AKDBKWB, Pub. > PINUKNKY, MICHIGAN To Acquire UraceTuintts. Have you over noticed the great amount uf admiring attention which the graceful girl attracts? Even although tjhe may be uuly plain or moderately good-looking, and not prettily or smartly dressed, there Is an air of uatuiaj superiority about her which farces her upon our notice. This su periority, of course, lies in the fact that the graceful girl knuwb how to correctly puise her body; how to walk and sit becomingly, and consequently, «o matter what she wears or what her features may be like, she always appears to the best advantage. A plain girl who knows how to stand, move, and sit with ease, Is far more admired than the beauty who is clumsy and awkward. Some girls, of course, are naturally graceful. But there is no reason why those who are lacking In this respect should not add to their charms by carefully cultivating the art. An erect carriage, a graceful walk, a graceful manner of sitting and rising are absolutely necessary if a girl wishes to be really charming. And it is quite within her own power to acquire these virtues, says the New York Weekly. In the flmt place, she must study her own defects, and the faults of otb«r girls, also, In order that she may avoid them. Do not try to copy the graceful girl offhand, so to speak, by forcing yourself Into what, to you, would be unnatural poses and attitudes. That Is not the way to cultivate gracefulness. In fact, by doing so you will probably make yourself more awkward and clumsy. By always trying to avoid the little faults, however, w h i m prevent a girl becoming graceful, you will, as time goes by, find yourself drifting quite naturally ink, the ways and manners of the graceful girl. MRS. METSKER ACQUITTED OF MURDER, AND RETURNS HOME. FINAL SCENE IN COURT STATE NEWS BRIEFS. Carnegie and Pittsburg. Andrew Carnegie continues to be good to Pittsburg, where so much of hiB fortune was made. He has just announced the gift of $3,000,000 to the Carnegie technical schools of that city, on condition that certain additional grounds be purchased. Mr Carnegie had previously given $2,000,000 to the schools subject to conditions which were complied with and no doubt the same thing will be done now. Acceptance of the $,^,000,000 will mean that $6,000,000 in all has been received by the schools . from this source. But this Is by no means nil the philanthropist has done for Pittsburg. The Carnegie Institute in that city has been given $16,000,000, and it is understood will benefit ultimately 1o the extent of $25,000,000. The $5,000,000 set aside for employes of the Carnegie 8teel Company will be distributed largely in Pittsburg and vicinity, and numerous libraries and other institutions In the same section have been established or have been benefited through the same munificence. Mr. Carnegie, says the Troy <N. Y.) Times, adheres steadily to the purpose announced when he retired rom active business pursuits, and philanthropy is greatly the gainer by his carefully considered and intelligently directed generosity. Goc* Bagk to Livo With Her. Husb»Qd While the Murdered Man's Wife Goes Back to Mourn. Amid cheers of hundreds of sympathizers, Mrs. Christine Metsker left Cassopolis Friday evening for South Bend acquitted of the murder of Carlton Morgan. She carried in her arms a bunrb of lilacs. On the same train bound for the seclusion of her farm near Niles went Mrs. Morgan. She carried the blood-stained clothes of her husband to be preserved In memory of the man in whose faithfulness she still believes. The jury was out just an hour. Mrs. Metsked half fainted when the verdict was announced. Then bhe rushed excited to the jury and s-hook the hand of each hysterically. Mrs. Morgan froze like a statue, She had confidently expected a verdict of guilty. She stooped over and picked up the clothes of her dead husband. "It's all right," she said, in broken tones. "I didn't want revenge, but 1 am taking Carlton's clothes home with w#- I couldn't bear to have them left for souvenirs." Attorney Howell, in closing for the defense, scored Prosecutor Bresuahau's request for "at least a fine of $1,000." He also made a spectacular attack on the "Merry Widows" and called Maude Berhner a "strumpet who came to court in garments purchased by Metsker and other men." "The scenes Mrs. Metsker made w*re not in court," he declared. "We have not exhibited our ankles or our tears to the jury. This little woman has wept and prayed in her cell. Let them punish Metsker, but not her whom he left for the embraces of a painted woman." From the remarks of the attornevs the jury took the inference that Mrs. Metsker would not again live with her husband. Later she herself denied this and the couple will again take up life in South Bend. Metsker left for South Bend early in the dav. "I am so glad—so glad." was all Mrs. Metsker could say when the verdict was announced. Then she hurried to her hotel and M) minutes later wus at the dejK)t.

The remarkable resemblance of the two men 1» noted and commented on by paasen- Kers on the ferry. They see a man with anake eyes, whlt-h aenda a thtflU Throuuh Dudley. Wilton postpones an explanation qf the strange errand Dudley la to Perform, but occurrences cause him to know it Is one of no ordinary meaning- Wilton leaves Giles In their room, with Instruction to await his return and shoot a n y one who tries to enter. Outside there- Is heard shouts and curses and the noise of a quarrel. Henry rushes In and at his request the roommates quickly exchange clothes, and he hurries out again. Hardly has he gone t h a n Giles Is startled by a cry or "Help," and he runs out to lind some one being assaulted by -4 half dozen men. He summons a policem a n but they are unable to And a n y trace of a crime. Giles returns to his room and hunts for » m e evidence that mlKht explain his strange mission. He finds a map which he endeavors to decipher. Dudley is summoned to the morgue and there finds the dead body of tiis friend. Henry Wilton. And thus Wilton, dies without ever explaining to PLud- <ey the puSzlfng work He was to perform In San Francisco. In order to discover the secret mission his friend had entrustsd to him, Dudley continues his disguise -And permits himself to be known as Henry Wilton. Dudlev. mistaken for Wilton, Is employed by Knapp to assist In a stock brok«»raire deal. "Dicky" takes the supposed Wilton t6 Mother Borton's. Mother Borton discovers that he Is not Wilton. The lights are turned out and a free for all fight follows. Giles Dudley ilnds himself c'oseted in a room with Mother Borton who makes a confidant •>f him. Ho can learn nothing about the mysterious boy further than that it is Tim Terrill and Darby Meeker who are after him. He Is told that "Dicky" Nahl is a traitor, playing both hands in the tjame. Giles finds himself locked In a room. He escapes through a window. The supposed Wilton carries out his dead friends' wurk with Doddridge Knapp. He lias his first experience as a capitalist in the Board Room of the Stock Exchange. Dudley receives a fictitious note purporting to be from Knapp. the forgery of which he readily detects. Dudley gets his llrst knowledge of Decker, who Is Knapp's enemy on the Board. The forged note mystifies Knapp. Dudley visits the home of Knapp and is stricken by the beauty of Luella, his daughter. Mm. Bowser. They were women with their heads clove in gossip. . . .

I was recalled from this, dialogue by Mrs. Bowser's fan. on my arm, and her shrill voice la my ear with, "What is your idea about it, Mr. Wilton?" "I think you are perfectly right," i said heartily, as she paused for au answer. "•Then I'll arrange it with the othera at once," she said. This was a bucket of ice-water on me. I had not the first idea of what I had committed myself. "No, don't," I said. "Wait till we have time to discuss it again." "Oh, we can decide on the time whenever you like. Will some night week after next suit you?" I had to throw myself on the mercy of the enemy. "Vzp. afraid I'm getting rather ab seuT^ninded," I said humbly. "I was looking at Miss Knapp and lost the thread of the discourse for a minute." "That's what I was talking about," she said . sharply—"about taking her and the rest of us through Chinatown." "Yes, yes. I remember," I said unblushingly. "If I can get away from business, I'm at your service at any time." Then Mrs. Bowser wandered on with the arrangements she would And necessary tfi make, and I heard one of the low voices behind m e : "Now this is a profound secret, you know. I wouldn't have them know for the world that any one suspects. I just heard it this week, myself." "Oh, I wouldn't dare breathe it to a soul," said the other. "But I'm sure I shan't sleep a wink to-night." And they moved away. ; I interrupted Mrs. Bowser to explain that I must speak to Mrs. Knapp and made my escape as some one stopped to pass a word with her. "Oh, must you go, Henry?" said Mrs. Knapp. "Well, you must come again soon. We miss you when you stay away. Don't let Mr. Knapp keep you too closely." I professed myself happy to come whenever I could find the time, and ^-¾^ -./ CHAPTER XII.—Continued. "But I suspect Mr. Knapp makes whirlpools Instead of swimming into them," I said meaningly. "Ah, Henry," she said sadly, "how often have I told you that the best plan may come to ruin in the market? It may not take much to start a boulder rolling down the mountain-aide, but who is to tell it to stop when once it is set going?" "I think," said I, smiling, "that Mr. Knapp would ride the boulder and find himself In a gold mine at the end of the journey." "Perhaps. But you're not telling me what Mr. Knapp is doing." "He can tell you better than I." "No doubt," she 8aid with a trace of sarcasm in her voice. "And here he comes to do It, I expect," I said, as the tall figure of the King of the Street appeared in the doorway opposite. "I'm afraid I shall have to depend on the newspapers,"-she said. "Mr. Knapp is as much afraid of a woman's tongue as you are. Oh," she cbntimred after a moment's pause, "I was going to make you give an account of yourself; but since you will tell nothing t must introduce you to my cousin, Mrs. Bowser." And she led, me, unresisting, to a short, sharp-featured woman of sixty or thereabouts, wjip rustled her silks, and in a high, thin voice professed, herself charmed to see me. She might have claimed and held the record as t h e champion Of the conversational ring. I had never met her equal before, nor have I met one to surpass her since. Had I been long in the city? She had been here only a week. Came from Maine way. This was a dear, dreadful City with stich nice people and such dreadful winds, wasn't it? And then she gave me a catalogue of the places she had visited, and the attractions of San Francisco, with a wealth of dotail and a poverty of interest that was little less than marvelous. Fortunately she required nothing but an occasional murmur of assent in the way of answer from me. I looked across the room to the corner where Luella was entertain.** the insignificant Inman. How vivacious and Jq'teXUg^jBt »he appeared! Her facfe and figure grew on me in attractiveness^ and J felt thai; X was bain*. very Dadlyuaad. >As i came tc**Ms*p©iivt I was roused by the sound of (wo low voices thA*.Ju*t'beJMnU me were plainly audible ttntieT-'tb* shrill tr«ol« M looked about for Luella. She was nowhere to be seen. I left the room a little disappointed, but with a swelling pride that I had passed the dreaded ordeal and had been accepted a s Henry Wilton in the house ip, which I had most feared to meet disaster. My opinion of my own cleverness had risen, in the language of the market, "above par." As I passed down the hall, a tall willowy figure stepped from the shadow of the stair. My heart gave a bound of delight. It was Luella Knapp. I should have the pleasure of a leavetaking in private. "Oh, Mias Knapp!" I said. "I had despaired of having the chance to bid you good night." And held out my hand. She Ignored the hand. I could see from her heaving bosom and shortened breath that she w a s laboring under great agitation. Yet her face gave no evidence of the effort that'It cost her to control herself. "I was waiting for you." she said in a low voice. I started to express my satisfaction when she interrupted me. "Who are you?" broke from her lips almost fiercely. I was completely taken aback, and stared at, her in amazement with no word at command. "You are not Henry Wilton." she said rapidly. "Ynu have- come here with his name and his clothes, and made up to look like him, and you tryto use his voice and take his place. Who are.you?" There was a depth of acorn and anger and apprehension in that low voice of hers that struck me dumb. "Can you not answer"" she demanded, catching her breath with excitement. "You are not Heary Wil-, t o n . " . ..... • . ! • » ; .'.Welir I saM fealf.ta:quiris«ly. II was not safe to advance or retreat "Well—! well—!" IJhe repotted m y answer with indignation and disdain deepening in her voice. "Is that ail you have to say for yourself?" What should I say?" I replied quietly. "You make an assertion. Is there anything more to be said?" "Oh. you may laugh at me if you please, betauav j u u MHU hvudwiitk the others." I protested that laughter was the last thing I wan thinking of at the moment. Then she burst uut impetuously: "Oh, if I were only a m a n ! No; if 1 were a man I should be hoodwinked like the rest. But you can not deceive me. Who are you? What are you here for? What are you trying to do?" She wus blazing with wrath. Her tone had raised hardly au Interval of the scale, but every word that came in that smooth, low voice was heavy with ccntempt and auger. It was the true daughter of the Wolf who stood before me. 'I am afraid, Miss Knapp, you are not well to-night," I aaid soothingly. "What have you done with Henry Wilton?" she asked fiercely. "Don't try to speak with his voice. Drop your disguise. You are no actor. You are -no more like him than—" "Satyr or Hyperion," I quoted bitterly. "Make it strong, please." I had thought myself in a tight place in the row at Borton's, but it was nothing to this encounter. "Oh, where is he? What has happened?" she cried. "Nothing has happened," I said calmly, determined at last to brazen it out. I could not tell her the truth. "My name is Henry Wilton." She looked at me in anger a moment, and then a shadow of dread and despair settled over her face. I was tempted beyond measure to throw myself on her mercy and tell all. The subtle sympathy that she inspired was softening my resolution. Yet, as I looked into her eyes, her face hardened and her wrath blazed forth once more. "Go!" she said. "I hope I may never see you again!" And she turned and ran swiftly up the stair. I thought 1 heard a sob, but whether of anger or sorrow I knew not. And I went out into the night with a heavier load of depression than i had borne since I entered the city. CHAPTER X I I I . A Day of Grace. Resolve, fthame, despair, fought with each other in the tumult in my mind as I passed between the bronze lions and took my way down the street. I was called out of my distractions with a sudden start as though a bucket of cold water had been thrown over me. 1 had proceeded not twenty feet when I saw two dark forms across the street. They had, it struck me, been waiting for my appearance, for one ran to join the other and both hastened toward the corner as though to be ready to meet me. I could not retreat to the house of the Wolf that loomed forbiddingly behind me, There was nothing to do but to go forward and trust to my good fortune, and I shifted my revolver to the side-pocket of my overcoat as I stepped briskly to the corner. Then I stopped under the lamp-post to reconnoiter. The two men who had roused my apprehensions did not offer to cross the street, but slackened their pace and strolled slowly along, on the other side. I noted that it seemed a long way between street-lamps thereabouts. I could see none between the one under which I was standing "and the brow of the hill below. Then it occurred to me that this circumstance might not be due to the caprice of t h e street department of the city government, but to the thoughtfulnes8 of t h e gentlemen who were paying such close attention to my affairs. I decided that there were better ways to get down town than were offered by Pine street. To the south the cross-street stretched to Market with an unbroken array of lights, and as my unwary watchers had disappeared in the darkness, I hastened down the Incline with so little regard for dignity that I found myself running for a Sutter street car —and caught it, too. As I swung on the the platform I looked back; but I saw no sign of skulking figures before the car swept, past the corner and blotted the street from sight. The incident gave me a distaste for the idea of going back to Henry Wilton's room at this time of the night. So at Montgomery street I stepped into the Lick house, where I felt reasonably sure that I might get at least one night's sleep, from from the haunting fear of t h e assassin. But, once more safe, the charms of Luella Knapp again claimed the major part of my thoughts, and when I went to sleep it was with her scornful words ringing in my ears. I slept soundly until the morning sun peeped into the room with t h e cheerful announcement that a new day was born. In the fresh "morning air and the bright morning' light, I felt that I might h,ave fceeh unduly, suspicious and had fled from harmless citiiens; and I was ashamed that I had lacked courage to ratura-^o Henry's room as I made my # a y thither for a change of clothes. | tflaught'better of my decision, however,1 I s I stepped within t h ^ f l o o m y ' w a l l i of the house of myst i c a n d b y fddtfalTs echoed through tfctf&UMng silence of t h e hulls. And I lost all regret over my night's lack of courage when I reached my door. It was swung an inch ajar, and as i approached I thought 1 saw it move. "I'm certain I locked it," was my inward comment. I stopped short and hunted my re volver from my overcoat pocket. I was nervous for a moment, and angry at t h e inattention that might have cost me my life. "Who's there?" I demanded. No reply. I gave a knock on t h e door at long reach. There was no sound and I gave it a push that bent it open while I prudently kept behind the fortification of the casing. As no developments followed this move, I peeped through the door in cautious investigation. The room was quite empty, and I walked in. (TO B E CONTINUED.) L I M I T E D FOOD 8 U P P L Y . There is Not the Great Variety We Generally Imagine. "Certain great food-Htaples have proved themselves within the agelong experience of humanity to possess a larger amount of nutritive value, digestibility, and other good qualities, and a smaller proportion of undesirable properties than any othera. These, through an exceedingly slow and gradual process of the survival of the fittest, have come to form the staples of food in common use by the human race all over the world. It Is really astonishing how comparatively few there are of them, when we come to consider them broadly; the flesh and the milk of three or four domestic animals, the flesh of three or four and the eggs of one species of domesticated birds, three great grains—wheat, rice and maize—and a half-dozen smaller and much less frequent ones, one hundred or so -species of fishes and shell fish, two sugars, a dozen or so starch-containing roots and tubers, only two of which—the potato and the manioc—are of real international importance, twenty or thirty fruits, forty or fifty vegetables make up two-thirds of the food supply of the inhabitants of the world. "Instead of wondering at the variety and profuseness of the human food supply, the biologist is rather inclined to ejaculate with the London footman immortalized by John Leech, who, when told by the cook that there would be mutton chops for dinner and roast beef for supper, exclaimed: 'Nothing but beef, mutton and pork— pork, mutton and beef! Hin my opinion, hit's 'igh time some new hanimal was inwented!' " Woman Lost $230,000. New York.—Mrs. Arthur P. Mason of Larchmont is the womn who lost a tin box containing 196 $1,000 bills and jewelry valued at $40,000, while journeying to New York on the local New York, New Haven and Hartford train from her home. Mrs. Mason made this admission despite the advice of her lawyer, Benjamin F. Norris, who has tried to keep secret the name of his client. Mrs. Mason refused to go into details of the trip. She placed the box on the seat beside her, while the suit case rested at her feet. It is hardly supposed Mrs. Mason forgot the existence of the box when she left the train at the Grand Central station. It la possible however, she was followed from her home by some crook who knew that the box contained a fortune. She Meant a Mantle. Thomas A. Edison was discussing at Atlantic City the various devices for Increasing the brilliance and diminishing the cost of a ga3 jet. "Many of these devices have for base a mantle," he said. "You know what a mantle looks like? Then you'll appreciate a remark I overheard in a hardware dealer's. "A young woman entered the shop and said: " 'Have you got those things for Improving a gas light?" " 'Yes, madam,' said the dealer. "Here is a complete set, fittings, chimney and mantle, all for ' " 'Oh, I don't want the set," said the young woman. 'I've got the metal part and the chimney, but the little white shirt is busted. If3 only one of them I want.' " Tool of Many Uses. During the present army maneuvers the French troops are using for the first time an instrument which for variety of, adaptation probably approaches to a record. It is a kind of concave lance shaft, or gouge, about 8 inches broad at the base and with a handle about 12 inches long. This implement is a shovel, a pointed bar, a trenching pick, a wire xutter, a wood chopper and can be used for bread and meat—London Globe. t^*!rf&*-+-+iB-«r —wi •••• 1 • iw'iii• ••• m .* ej 1 E. 1 yiTp^TT^T^irr^r MAKE CFTY STRONG JAPANESE * C E K TO RENDER PORT A R T H U R I M P R E G N A B L E Defense* Being Reconstructed on a New Plan and the Town la Prac tiual'y Given Over to the Military Authorities. In view of the renewed interest in Port Arthur by the recent condemnation of Gen. Stoessel, it may be interesting to translate from t h e Voice of Moscow portions of t h e article of a Russian correspondent in that great Japanese fortress, who seems to be particularly observant, says t h e New York Sun. He says that Fort Arthur and Dalny have changed very much since the war. Under Russian rule Port Arthur was an international town, full of life, and after the Japanese came into possession of it it promised to be even livelier than ever. The roads were repaired, the quays renewed, the water supply improved, Japanese and Chinese merchants began to establish themselves In the town and businesa houses began to be built. But suddenly something happened. All a t once Port Arthur became * city of the dead. Business men quietly abandoned their shops, builders left their uncompleted buildings, and from that time up to the present no private individual h a s begun any new build ing in Port Arthur. T h e great supplies of provisions and other goods were sent back to Japan or into other parts of Manchuria. But none except the Japanese knew what was t h e word that had gone forth. The whole fortress is being reconstructed on a new and unknown plan. The fortifications are being extended beyond their old limits and the laborers and overseers are selected with the greatest care. The old redoubts are not destroyed, but all useful material in them has been moved to other sites. In the construction of the fortifications great attention has been paid to the selection of the best positions whence a plunging fire can be concentrated on the passage through the hills in front and in order to attain this end constant practice firing is carried on. The landward side is protected by long-range guns mounted in excellent forts. At one point alone there are 120 guns. On the seaward side rows of guns are visible—many of these guns were taken from the Russians. Trial firing is carried on more and more frequently at night with the help of reflectors and to assist the gun ners a whole series of signal stations has been erected on the hills. At the bottom of both harbors and out along the seacoast up to a distance of two miles from the fortress some sort of work is being carried on; perhaps mines are being laid. All the way to Mukden strategic positions are being selected and prepared and strategic roads are being run through the mountains. As for Dalny, it is strongly fortified on the landward side, the entire environs of the village of Loukku having been converted into fortress positions and guns have been mounted there On the seaward side Dalny is more weakly fortified, but on the whole it is very much more strongly defended than when the Russians were in posession ot it. The enormous barracks in Port Arthur and Dalny are full of troops and great stores of grain, fodder, beans, etc.. have been collected. There has lately appeared in Dalny a peculiar four-wheeled cast-iron platform for carrying field guns of the largest caliber. To the fortified polnt,3 of Port Ar thur and Dalny special railway branch lines have been tfcuilt from t h e main railway. Large parties of Japanese officers come frequently from Japan to study the ground, not only at Port Arthur and Dalny, but In Mukden and Liaoyang. Lately many troops have come and have all gone to Mukden. Regular Feud. "Yea," sighed the suburban man who had just moved in, "at the last place I had t h e prettiest row of tulips that ever bloomed, until my neighbor's chickens scratched them up." "And did you kick?" asked his n?w acquaintance. "You bet! I sot. a bis; tomcat to lay for his chickens." "What then?" "Why, the nf*xt. I knew he had bought a ferocious bulldog to lay for my Tom." "H'm! And did that end t h e trouble?" "Oh, no. I borrowed a wolf from an animal trainer to kill the bulldog." "War to the knife, eh? What wan the next chapter in the bitter feud,>" "There was none. I heard that ho was about to purchase a tiger to kill: my wolf and as I couldn't afford t h e price of an elephant to kill his tiger, I thought it best to move."

"Such foolishness, Moran," he said. "Thattmay be, sor." Moran agreed; "but ye'll have to git another man." Later Brixton, senior, sent for him and.put him on the elevator servic?. , It';was getting a little hard to keep elevator boys, and Moran was trustworthy, If he was superstitious. Again a succession of watchmen came, and went. Brixton & Brixtou consulted a de tectlve agency. "It's ruining our busi nesa," they said. "Find out who is playing us such a trick." From the agency came men, two at a. time. It grew to be a most unpopu lar assignment. "Good lord,'' said Giffens, who was on duty the fifth week, "I keep seeing that poor fellow on the stairs with the sun shining in on him. I wonder how he happened to be down so far; his office was on the top floor." They were on the fatal landing. A broad, deep window overlooked the other skyscrapers In the block ami Bhowed row after row of twinkling Jfclfew HgfttftVand above them all, the moon, pale in contrast to. the glitter j#d glow, of the city night. Moflaft had made his last trip for the night. Tbe three men stood looking out. ^Suddenly a waiting cry to a mourn fuf, ihthftr m«aatire reached their ears "Somebody's slngin'," Giffens gasped. The three Irishmen- clung together er. "It's Klllarney." "Who's slngin* it?" Murphy's brava do waa gone. "My God!" Moran said, "there was a little gurryl In Brown's office—Kate O'Neill—on the sixt' floor used to sin« —like that. I heard her one time—" I "Where's she now?" Giffens asked "She wint away last spring," Moran said. Next day Moran found himself Irresistibly drawn toward the haunted landing. It was the noon hour and Giffens and Murphy had gone to lunch Moran didn't want any lunch. The affair of the night before had upset him, and the plaintive tones of Kate O'Neill still rang In his heart. Six steps down from the tenth floor and around a curve was the landing. and .Morau, following the curve, stopped short, staring. With her back to him, a woman <§toad rJotking* out of the window. M e turned at the sound of Moran'a footsteps. "It's me," she said. "I've come back." "Kate O'Neill!" gasped Moran. "Yea. I've been in the hospital. I've been sick." Moran went up to her. "Katie," he said, "was you here las' night?" She looked at him, wide-eyed. "No," she said, "I was in the hospital. I lef* there this mornin'." "My Qod!" said Moran. She shivered. "What's the matter?" she asked sharply. "We heard you slngin'—me and two —other men. You was slngin'' 'Klllarney.' " Her hand waa over her heart, her eyes dark with horror. "What am I going to do?" she cried, "what am I going to do? I dream that I come here, and go up and down. and up and down the stairway—and there is no rest." She paused and went on, white lipped: "Maybe—it isn't a dream— maybe it's true—maybe—I .do come— maybe I do—" *_Ber tttfee AV** *w.»y in a whisper.

"I came every day aud ate my lunch, because it was qule*: aud no one ever came up the stair way. But one day he came—" She hesitated, "I was slngin"—" Moran. bent forward, listening eagerly. "He stooped and spoke, and he was nice aud pleasant. And after that he used to come at noon, often, and I liked him, and he would bring things and wo would eat lunch t o g e t h e r - oysters and birds—I think he was rich. No one ever saw us, for uo one ever comes up and down the stairway." "I told him about my old granny, aud how 1 had left her wheu I was a child, and how I had been alone In this country since my brother died, and that no home would ever be to me like the little house in the old country with the lake behind it and the low line of hills in front, and sometimes I would sing, and he would listen and. plan {o take me across the "I ran upstairs with the. knife in my hand and the book and the $100.

I put them those and went on working, and when I sot back to my boarding place that night I raintod, and they sent sue to the hospital— and—and that's all—" She sank down on a step and looked up at the tall young man silhouetted against the background of blazing sunlight. "1 don't know what to do," she said, with quivering lips. Her blue eyes held in them the appeal of helpless womanhood, and of helpless Irish womanhood at that. Moran could not stand it. "Katie," he said, "you dreamed ut." "Oh, no," she whispered. "You did," Moran said; "you've been lick, and you've thought about it, and It's your delerryum that makes you think you did ut—" "But I'm not delirious now—" she said. "Well, you was," Moran insisted. Then he lied smoothly. " 'Twas a mau did ut. He was bandy-legged and cross eyed and he had a grudge—" Her startled eyes questioned him. "But--" she began. "He's confessed," Moran stated obstinately, "a week ago." With her hands in his she was sobbing: "It can't be true!" " Tis true." "Oh, I don't know what to do—" Moran held her hands tightly for a moment, looking down at her with a shadow In his eyes. "You'd best go," Moran said, hoarsely. "Go up and take the elevator on the next floor." When the two detectives reached the landing they found Moran leaning negligently against the window, looking out. "Murphy thinks we ought to look up that O'Neill girl," Giffens said. "Ah, gwan," Moran said, as he set his shoulders squarely. "Ye couldn't hunt a little gurryl wld eyes like blue lakes. Ye're two things before ye're hard-hearted Instruments of the law—" "An' what's that?" asked Giffens. "Ye're men—" "An'?" "Ye're Oirish," finished Moran, succinctly. No Silver Dollar Since 1905. A clerk at the Bingham House who has been blessed with a boy baby during the last year wanted, among other little gifts, to give his young hopeful a silver dollar marked "1907," which could be suspended about his neck on a string and triftti to help cut the little teeth which were beginning to show signs of appearing, says the Phlladelwater some day. An' by that time i p n i a Record. I thought a lot of him, and I'd 'a' gone I ^ e inquired among all his friends anywhere with him—" Her hands were clasped tensely, her little face was working with emotion. "He used to bring me presents and for a ' 190?' silver dollar, and it was not until he had been on a vain search for nearly a week that some one told him to call at, the mint, aud there he put them behind that piece of broken I received official information that under tiling. He dug a hole with his knife in the plaster underneath, and I'd find things there. One day I found a maga zine on the window-sill with a paper-knife across it to hold it down, and between the reaves were $100 In bills, and he was watching me around the curve, and when't opened the book aifd ibuhd the money he Came out laughln', and said it was to get my new things with. 'We're goia' to sail next week,' he saldt 'Just you and me,' and he laughed some more. "But I shook my head and told htm that I couldn't take money from him until after we were married. 'After we are married.' I said, 'you can give me anything.' I thought he looked queer at that, and he was leaning over me very'rJale. and he said: 'Kate, little Kate O'Neill, I can't marry you.' And I said, 'Why not?' and he said: I've got a wife. But I'll do anything for you—I'll make you happy, but I can't marry you.' "I had the paper-knife in my hand, and the next I knew he was lying there on the floor in the suoahine—" In the shuddering silence Moran whispered: "My God!" advices from Washington they had not coined any silver dollars since 1905, and, therefore, there had neyer been nor would be any sliver dollars for last year. For Rifle Target Matches. The navy department is making special efforts to Improve small arms marksmanship in the navy. As an effective way of doing this the department is stimulating Interest in target practice at the Naval academy on the theory that if the midshipmen are induced to take a lively interest in small arms shooting the effect of that interest will be felt later throughout the service. For this reason the navy department has announced this year the most extended schedule of rifle target matches that the midshipmen have yet had. Prizes will also be offered for winners in revolver matches to be held at the Naval academy.- PASSING THESALOON •BSSSBBaBSBBSaaSaSMBCaaBHBSBBBCaB ly REV. A.

I have studied conditions in the south, where the saloon is being swept away by a cyclone of ballots. The explanation is easy. 1. It is the revolt of knowledge against ignorance.

"It Is the growth of manhood," aaid a leader in the movement. 2. It is the revolt of home love against the home destroyer. The southern people love their homes and they have determined (hut the destroyer shall be destroyed. Liberty Against Slavery. 3. It is the revolt of liberty lovers against the slavery of their mellows. "A Liberty League" pleads for the perpetuity of the saloon, which makes more slaves than any other institution on earth. Drunkards are slaves of appetite, and 100,000 cf them are killed every year by their cruel master. Liberty to All coffers by selling what enslaves manhood and womanhoed is as un-American as it is un- Chditian, and the people are waking up to the fact. Humanity Against Barbarity. 4. It is the revolt of humanity against barbarity. The aaloon is the mother and fosterer of lunacy, idiocy, pauperism and crime. It is not humane but rather barbarous to legalize and protect the cause of thete great evils. The highest civilization seeks to prevent, so that cure shall not be needed. Church Lovers Against Church Haters. 5. It is tbe revolt of Bible and church lovers against Bible and church haters. The champion blasphemer of Chicago, who evidently hates the Bible and the church, Is also the champion of the saloon. Though he asserts that he does not believe In the historic existence of Jesus, he draws his little argument from his turning water into wine and informs us that Jesus commanded his followers to use intoxicating wine in the Lord's Supper. In this he shows his usual capacity for ignorance. He ought to know that the contents of the sacramental cup are nowhere called wine, but the "fruit of the vine," and alcohol Is not a fruit of the vine, but the rotten fruit of a process of decomposition which takes place after the juice has been removed from the vine. He ought also to know that fermented wine was never used in the Passover feast, for every Jew was required to remove from his house all leaven in solids or liquids. He ought also to know that the unfermented juice of the grape was the beverage of kings as is seen by the fact that the butler pressed the grapes into Pharaoh's cup. (Gen. 40:11.) Business Sagacity Against Illusion. 6. It is the revolt of business sagacity against , the illusion that the saloon helps business. Asheville, # . C, voted the saloon out last October, and' the only business embarrassed. I am informed, is jallkeeplng and chaingang overseeing. Patriotism Against Lawlessness. 7. It is the revolt of patriotism against lawlessness. The plea that ^ ^^prohibition does not prohibit" is proving a boomerang to the liquor traffic, for the people are beginning to See that it really means "we will not obey law." The ruler of this country does not live In the White House or a governor's mansion, or sit. in a w4g and gown on the judge's bench. The sovereign that rules president, governor, judge and. mayor Is LAW, and a conspiracy against the enforcement of law is beginning to he seen in its true light as treason against the life of our American ruler. The 3tate of Georgia, through its representatives In the legislature, drove the saloon out, and the city of Atlanta has not been discussing whether it will obey the law of the state. Atlanta has had enough of secession, and her patriotic citizens believe in state sovereignty over the city. But let us remember that, the ereat mission of Christ and the church is to the individual, and we would lead drunkard, moderate drinker, liquor spller and liquor voter to the "Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world." If all men would get right with God through Jesus Christ the great problems whloh perplex the public mind would soon be settled.

"The Interpreter" In the American Magazine says of a respectful father he once knew: "Isn't It time we took off our hats and thanked this pleasant land for the good things it has done for us by going on patiently covering up our blunders, rectifying our mistakes, and responding cheerfully to our every intelligent effort? "I knew a man out west who bad the right idea about it. His father had made a great fortune in the pork packing business. The heir was not puffed up by hia millions. Long after he had. grown accustomed to the money and might reasonably be expected to look down on butchers, if in walking in the country with his children they saw a drove of hogs on the road, he would make his little boys stand at attention and take-off their hats. 'I want them to respect the sources of wealth,' he said." Too Strong. "The traveler in Ireland will do well," recently remarked an attache to our embassy at London, "when he engages a jaunting car to make sure of the step to which, in mounting, he must trust his weight. The carman does not tnlp him to mount. " 'I am afraid that step is loose,' an American once said to the driver he had engaged. "The man took hold of the step and shook it. 'Ah! sure,' said he, 'It's too sthrong, It is. What are ye afraid of?' "As he was talking, the thing came off In his hand.

It isn't necessary to be a sciena solid granite block bearing on i s t l a t o top a bust of the man who is to lie r a n e x p e r t s e h o l a r t o g e t t f a i b under it. The bust is a faithful likeness, even to the stone whiskers now trimmed in goatee fashion. The sculptor who did the work was an irresponsible person with effeminate ideas. He parted Mr. Wright's whiskers at the middle in his original work. This made Mr. Wright angry, and he paid another sculptor $600 to brush out the stone whiskers straight. This work brought the price up to $3,600, but Mr. Wright didn't care. In the tomb near by Mr. Wright has placed ample supplies of whisky and cigars. "I don't want the boys who ate burying me to feel too bad," he explained. "I want them to have a little something to keep them cheerful. Nobody can say I'm stingy." He has also engaged the Putnam Silver Cornet band to play at his funeral. Mr. Wright's "going, but know not where," has stirred up a lot of trouble, particularly among theologians, some of whom have written him abusive letters. He is still hale and hearty. Often Downed, Seldom Out. There is no other country in the world In which the words "business failure" mean so little as in America. In the older and more cautious nations of Europe, where all business is along more conservative lines, the man who falls is usually "down and out." He ?ither blows out his brains or takes to drink and makes himself a bore to his friends telling about the days of nis prosperity. Europe is full of "•shabby genteel" persons who have seen belter days and who have not the fuintest idea of going to work to make those days come back again. Such a miserable exhibition of cowardice does not appeal to the American. All the American business man asks is good health and a fair field, and he will consider failure a mere incident that gives one valuable experience to be utilized in the failure. The man who is bowled over to-day is up and on his feet and in the center of the struggling throng to-morrow. It Is unfortunately true' that on almost every farm where the1 owner is too busy with other matters to devote much time and attention to them, there are chickens, horses, cows, hogs and sheep constantly showing signs that they need help. Very frequently it happens that when we overlook an apparently common ailment there soon develops a serious trouble which oftentimes results in the death of the chicken or animal. Instances of this kind are of altogether too frequent occurrence and they sometimes result in the spread of the disease to other fowls and animals before It can be checked. Whoever keeps poultry or live stock ought to be thoroughly informed as to the diseases and weaknesses of chickens, horses, cows, sheep and hogs so as to be able to determine at a glance the nature of any trouble that may deknowledge. Happily, it is now possible to obtain free of charge the very best books on these various subjects. We refer to Pratts New Poultry Book, Pratts New Sheep Book, Pratts New Horse Book, Pratts New Hog Book and Pratts New Cattle Book. Any one of these books will be sent free of charge to interested parties by sending a postal to the Pratt Food Co., Department R, Philadelphia, Pa. Everybody knows the Pratt Food Co., and that their preparations are used throughout the world by farmers, dairymen, stock raiBers and poultrymen. Pratts Animal Regulator is the favorite with all owners of horses, cows, sheep and hogs, because it improves the animals' digestion, regulates their bowels and tones up their systems, and gives them new life and spirits. Thousands of users say it Is the greatest preventive of animal disease known. Likewise, Pratts Poultry Regulator ,is the first and last choice of all poultrymen who want strong, healthy, profitable fowls, the kind that lay eggs regularly.

On that account he leaves behind him a famous name. "As Gibayedoff said himself, the last time I visited him in Paris, his fame was due not to his great artistic skill, but to his luck in coming first. "And he added with a laugh that it was always lucky to come early and avoid the rush, instancing the case of a restaurant in the Latin Quarter, where a young poet had a large tureen of soup spilled over his coat one evening. "The waiter, in response to the savage outcries of the poet, said, goodnaturedly: "'Oh,'well, you needn't alarm yourself, sir. There's no harm done. Our soup never stains after half-past seven.'
