The Uruish purl lament will probably not ptt»s Lurd Avebury'u bill tor the protection or wild birds, although the houue ef lords haa passed it to a «e» cud leading. There la general agreement UK to the ueed of action and an tu the purpose of the bill; but door a expressed whether ^he proposed mc<us ure IK wisely devlbed. The bill prohibits the importation iuto the United Kingdom, for 4he purpose of sale or fxchtijuKe, of the plumaKe, akin or body >f any wild bird except ostriches, eider ducka and wild fowl used for food. Specimens may be gathered for museums, but only^ under special license; and penalties of five pounds for a first offense and £25 for subsequent offenses ure provided. To American travelers In England the situation Is not so standing «A It upbears, says the Youths' Companion, for out of consideration for the tustes of foreigners it is provided in the bill that parts of birds not Included In the list of exemptions may be worn by those entering Great Britain, provided that a wrltien declaration that the plumage is not for sale shall be given upon request. An understanding of the causes which led to the introduction of this hill ought, however, to restrain every right-minded woman from availing herself of such a privilege. There were sold last year at the London plume tales the scapular feathers of 190,000 egrets, and the skins of more than 28,- 000 birds of paradise. The plum^B of the egrets are "nesting plumes;" that is, they appear only when the birds have young, and of course the young starve when the parents are killed. Another sad feature of the situation is the sale of the tail-feathers of hundreds of lyre-birds, and of quills of the albatross; the one a representative of a single genus of birds, the other a wanderer, which, as Mr. James Buckland puts it, "adds dignity even to the ocean." The woman who goes to church and bows in prayer a head "decorated" at such cos* Is a fit subject for investigation by the new psychology. Elevating the Filipinos. What American precept and example may do in the Philippines is Indicated anew by what is going on in Mindanao, regarding which the Army and Navy Journal says the quarters of the army officers there may result in the abandonment by the natives of the nipa huts and the sort of civilization that goes with such primitive structures. The Army and Navy Journal adds: "Gov. Johnson, In installing a stable and practical government over the non-Christian tribes, has arranged . for every family to have its hemp field, and is urging the natives to give up their huts for wood houses. He has used the dwellings of army officers as an illustration of the value of such habitations. The people, who have a high respect for the big American soldier, are abandoning their shacks and building real houses." This marks a long step forward, and assures most gratifying results. The native huts of the old order are not only objectionable as typifying a low order of life, but are too often the breeding-places of disease. The first. act when an epidemic breaks out is usually to burn the nipa huts as one of thft-beftt me»ns of destroying the deadly germs. The new and better way of living taught by the Americans is certain to add in raising the race to a higher level. Closer union, indeed the formation of a new dominion by the British South African colonies, has been regarded by far-se^inir men as certain to come In time. The time may be nearer than has been generally supposed. Last month delegates of the self-governing colonies met in Pretoria to discuss interstate customs and railway regulations. They took occasion iil:o to pans a resolution in favor of a eloHwr political union. The suggestion was that a convent inn be called comprising 12 delegates from Cape Colony, right irom Ihe Transvaal and five each from the Orange River colo ny and Natal, and that these delegates draft a provisional constitution. The members of ih^ customs convention agreed to lay the resolution before their respective governments, and the perioral belief is that the government? Will at least go so far as to approve, the convention and appoint delegates flthough final acceptance or rejection of whatever agreement might IK reached wj'l jest with each colonial Cover Hint r.t THE STATE IN A F O 0 L I 8 H OIRL'8 M I S T A K E T H E CAUSE OF A 8ER10U8 COMPLICATION.

Eloping on the day following her marriage five weeks ago lo Thomas Trumbull with William Clique. Mrs Wealthy Trumbull, a girl or 16, h a i been brought back to Mancelona by a deputy sheriff. Clique was also arrested with her in a hut near Waters,, and is facing several serious charges.' Trumbull is an elderly man and the girl married him under the impression that he would give her many luxuries. Disappointed, she left t'> day after with Clique, who u not very much older than herself. They hid during the daytime and walked during the night until they had got considerable distance from Mancelona. Deputy Sheriff Jarvis, of Emmet county, was'recently put on their' trail and traced them to Waters. He found the couple in a shack in a secluded spot. The comely girl was grimy with dirt. The hut waB bare of furnishings and rushes on the floor formed the only bed. There was no utove and the couple contrived to cook their meals on a piece of sheet iron placed over a fire. The couple had been near Waters less than a week, according to the girl's tale. They would stop in a town for a while and then Clique would become apprehensive of capture by one of the sheriff's deputies and insist on moving on to another. "I know it was wrong," said the girl, "but I loved Will and didn't realize until after the wedding the mistake I had made." Convict Expert Does Good Job. That lack of practice has not caused Thomas Leslie, a convict in the Marquette prison, to lose his cunning in juggling with combinations and locks, was quickly demonst.ated by him. In response to an appeal to Warden Russell he was takeu to Negaunee for the purpose of open ing the safe in the Duluth. Sou*«i Shore ft Atlantic railroad company's depot. The station agent was unable to unlock it and local e x p r M were also baffled. Leslie, who is spending a considerable period at the Marquette penitentiary for work in the safe-opening line, was taken to the scene in custody of Deputy Warden Catlin, and within a few mfnutes he bad the steel iloor unlocked. The prisoner is one of the best-liked men at the, penitentiary, both among his fellow-convicts and with the officers He is employed as steward of the hospital department. Brought Back. Sheriff Davidson, of Port Huron, returned Sunday noon from Winnipeg with Frcil Parker, who was arrested by the Canadian authorities on a charge of assaulting Elizabeth Pilger, a cripple,, in her home on White street last April, since which time Parker has been a fugitive.

Nothing but the [old French regime appeals to theip. Emulating the.example of the cautious turtle, they extend their heads and take a, telescopic view of the celebration and then retire to the innermost recesses of their shells. , President 'Roosevelt is determined that the case against the Standard Oil Co. will not be dropped, but tbe re-trial ordered by the United States Court of Appeals will be: made. Secretary Loeb gives out this statement: The president has directed the attorney general to immediately take steps for the re-trial of the Standard Oil case. The reversal of the decision of the lower court does not In any shape or way touch the merits of tbe case, excepting so far as the size of the fine Is concerned. There Is absolutely no question of the guilt of the defendants or of the exceptionally grave character of the offense. The president would regard it as a gross miscarriage of Justice if through any technicalities of any kind the defendant escaped the punishment which would have unquestionably been meted out to any weaker defend' ant who had been guilty of such offense. The president wiil do everything in his power to avert or prevent such miscarriage of justice. With this purpose In view, the president has directed the attorney general to bring into consultation Frank B. Kellogg in the matter and to do everything possible to bring the offenders to Justice. Coming like a bolt out of the blue sky. the president's pronouncement caused a sensation when it was received. It showed clearly, it was declared, that the president is determined that the Republican nominee for tbe presidency shall not suffer because of the reversal of the big fine, and that he wants the country to know that the administration has not changed in its feeling toward the Standard Oil Co. His statement makes it doubly clear, it is pointed out, to those who had thought that, temporarily at least, the president had passed into a quiescent .state so far as the corporations are concerned, that President Roosevelt has experienced no change of heart. The pronouncement breathed the same spirit as that which emanated from the White House in the days when the executive chamber echoed with denunciations of Standard Oil and other corporations and "Malefactors of great wealth." The president. It is learned, is greatly wrought up over the decision of the federal judges. He was amazed at their finding and determined at once to take some decisive action. It was to discuss this situation that Secretary Root was summoned to Oyster Bay yesterday. The president, Secretary Root and Wm. H. Taft spent three hours together going over the matter.

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

Longfellow's School Days. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the poet, received his early education n a school in Portland, Me. He wj * pronounced by the master to be "one of the best boys in school." He was a studious child and preferred the company of books to lively companions*. He passed the entrance examination to Bowdoin college at 14. He graduate*! fourth 1¾ hia class In 1825. "Because l'm-m-m Married-d-d-d-d Now-w-w," the office boy waa aear singing, and the noia* cause** the junior clerk to turn uneasily on hia high stool. "Regular Italian, always harpin' on something," he muttered;' "wonder youvcan't let up on something once In' a while." The office hoy changed the tune and began to whistle, but the junior clerk's temper became no better, i "Well," the office boy said, "looee* up an' get it out of your system. There's somethin' comin'. Might a* well tell it—it'll worry you If you don't." "We've busted up housekeeping—for the present," the junior clerk said. "An' right ^fter we'd started, too. You know Emaline an' I got one o' these foolish fiata— one of that kind that you gotta go into sideways an' then slide out again to turn around, one of that kind where you can sneeze in the kitchen an' ruffle th' curtains in the parlor at th' same time. Well, as I was aayin*, we moved in an" then Emaline started lookin' over her weddin' presents. Honest, never saw so much cut glass an' all that kind of junk— mnsta been a carload. Well, Emaline gets it all out an' plies It on the dinln' room table an' just about that time I remembered I hadn't bought her any present. " 'Be back in a minute,' I says as I jams on my hat an' starts out. Got down th' street a little way an" somebody stops me. " 'Wanta buy a dog?' he asks, pointin' to the worst lookin' bulldog I ever saw. "'Just what Emaline wanta/ I thought. "I'll get it; 'Gentle?' I asks. " Gentle as a flock of lambs,' th' guy said, 'lessen you grab 'm by th' shoulders an' point 'im where you want him to bite. He'll get it all right.' "I forked over $8.92 an' started home with the insect. "Emaline was still a-fussin' with th' cut glass an' the hand-painted china when I blew ta with Xenophon. "Who's Xenophon?" the office boy inquired. "The dog—think it was a box car? Yessir, Emaline was just dippy about th' thing. Looked at him for a minute an' then asks if he'll bite, " 'Will he bite?' I asks, 'all you gotta do is grab him like this an—' " 'Y-a-a-a-h-h-h,' Emaline yells an' starts for the parlor an' the dog right after her. He thought I'd 'siced' him an' he certainly was gofn' the limit. I tried to hold on to the chain, but that brute sure was strong. Jerked me off my feet an' dragged me along just as if I wasn't anything at all. Emaline dodged 'round the table an' the dog went right after her, chewin' air at every jump. Got me tangled up in the table an' the next thing I knew I was trying to swim out of two wagon loads of broken glass an' china. Emaline rushed into the bathroom an' shut the door. But that didn't stop Zenophon. He butted the door like a goat an' pulled me through after him. "'Bout that time one of Emaline's shoes came off an' Xenophon grabbed i t He swallowed it whole an' that's just wat saved u«. Thing got stuck in his throat an' choked him to death. " 'Bigamist!' Emaline yells when it's all over. "Tired of me already! Wanta kill me an' marry again.'" "An' I suppose she's gone home to mother?" the office boy interrupted. "Worse'n that, worse'n that," the junior clerk murmured sadly. "She's gola' to bring her mother to live with us."—Kansas City Star. Many-8ided Geniue. Sir Walter Parratt, the newly appointed professor of music In Oxford university, is an enthusiastic chess player. On one occasion he undertook to play two men at once, and at the same time play on the pianoforte frontmemory piece* selected by those present from any of the classical writers for that instrument. He not only played brilliantly during the games— never once looking at the chess board" —but conversed with several persons, who did their best t.o distract, him. The game lasted an hour, and Sir Walter was the victor. His pianoforte selections while the cam» was in progress came from such giants as Bach. Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelsshon and Chopin, and he afterward explained that, for the .greater part of the hour, hp had been intensely interested in the efforts f.f a fly to disentangle itself from a spider';: web!

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

They do all kinds of tricks and stunts willingly. The New York liippedrome is the biggest theater in the world. Mrs. Spellman's bears were on the program in this great Hippedroine several months. This act is absolutely free and will lake place in front of the grand stand every afternoon and evening. They have been taught to ride in an automobile, and every morning they will be taken down town from the state fair grounds in a big machine and will ride about the streets of Detroit. They stem to enjoy auto riding, as they lean back in the car, paying little or no attention to anyone they pass, unless some mischievous boy attempts to bother them, when they will reach out their paws to protect themselves.

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

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

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

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

She is prfectirtmy helpless, and upon Princess Wootone kanuske falls tha care of the household and of the Invalid. She accepts the hardships that have followed their later life as a matter of course; Bho regards them as part ufihe blight that has pursued her race ax ) haa doomed it aad fear3 them all as part of the great tragedy. Not so the eider sister. There is in her a flash of the old haughty spirit oX_ her ancestors, some of the unconquerable pride of race which made Maaaasoit the autocrat of warring tribes " a n d spurred King Philip to ,,» hopeless struggle that swept the. length and breadth of New England with death and flames. When Princess Teweeleema speaks of her wrongs and the Injustices of the white lntraders, her aged eyes regain their youthful Are, her gestures take on the simple grandeur of her illustrious forbears. The town of Warren, R. L, has done something toward the memory of the sisters' ancestor, Massasoit. On October 10, 1907, a tablet was unveiled over the spring which has always been known by the name of the mighty In dlan sachem. It bubbled near his forest home and the Massasoit Monument association walled it up and improved the surroundings that the spring might run for all time as a reminder of the white man's indebtedness. On a huge stone was placed the tablet and on the tablet is this inscription: "Tnie tablet placed beside the gushing wa ter known for many generations as Massasoit's spring commemorates the great Indian sachem Massasoit, 'friend of the white man,' ruler of this region when the Pilgrims of the Mayftowei landed at Plymouth in the year of our Lord. 1620." When the Pilgrim Fathers landed in America Massasoit's'empire extended frem Gape Cod to the Narragansett Thirty villages owed him allegiance; 30,000 Indians obeyed his word. But a furious plague broke out and when the white men met with the sachem his people had been almost exterminated; whole tribes had been decimated. The early historians say that the savages "died in heaps," and only a remnant of about 300 warriors was left to the ruler in his lodges about Massasoit spring. It was on Thursday, March 22, 1621 only 101 days after the Pilgrims had landed on fche new continent, that Mas sasoit mef them formally,»far the first time, >He, had. .previously ajflven an audience to two of their emissaries, one of whom was Edward Wiajslow. ajwi had expressed friendliness for the ,w^*te man. So to thia meeting, he jtame in all good faith, accompanied t his half-brother, Quadequlns^juid of his warriors, all armed with bflwfs and arrows; their faces painted, ^fitome had skins on them and some nsixed; all strong, tall men in awiear ajxee." •'-. --:> -.-1 'JEU,e Indian chief appeared $ramat icailjron what is now called (T8Vjajtson's hill/"and: lined up his men, miking an imposing array.

Winsiow stayed with the Indians as a hostage and Massasoit, followed by 20 of bis warriors, descended the hill toward the Pilgrims. Capt. Standish met him with a file oi six musketeers and gave him a salute, afterward escorting the chief to a hastily erected building, ' furnished with a Rreen rug and three or four cushions. Here a treaty was made and signed between Massasort and the Pilgrims. Winsiow offered himself as a hostage for the keeping of the agreement; Massasoit declined. A regulus as to honor himself, he scorned to accept a pledge. Hotmr was to him as the breath of life, and fnr 30 years he kept the treaty to the letter and the spirit; until his d<>a;h, in fact. It. was the Pilgrims themselves who violated it. The great Indian's fidelity to this agreement made the American colony possible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

PINOSWEY, LIVINGSTON CO., MICH., THURSDAY, AUG. 13.1908. A SUCCESSFUL MEETING. NOT AS BIG k CROWD AS FORMERLY, BUT BIGGER IN SPIRIT. The third biennial meeting of the Pinckney Old Boys and Girls association is a thing of the past and while not as large in attendance as formerly the spirit was there in full size and everyone enjoyed every minute. The people from a distance and out of town began to arrive earlier in the week than ever before so there was not the usual train loads at the last days for they were here to welcome those who arrived later. The weather mau must have had the matter in mind for although the dry spell had become almost unbearable, Tuesday night we were visited with a bountiful rain that gave the parched earth a soaking, making the air fresh and clearing everything ot dust. Wednesday opened up fair and the old boys and girls who had gathered, enjoyed themselves as only old friends can—some visiting, playing ball and many were seen wending their way to the pond with fishing tackle to try to coax some of the finny tribe from the waters where in former years they had played 'truant1 to do the same thing. Their successes were varied but most of them reported plenty to eat—but did not state that it was FISH. We.had hoped to be able to tell some big fish stories but so far have failed to hear any. It was no strange sight to see some of the old boys with bathing suits wending their way to the "old swimming hole" tor a dip and we could hear them exclaim, "Come on in, the water is fine. The program for the evening had been arranged from among those who were present and proved to be a pleasant evening. For an hour or more after the opera house was filled there was a hum of voices among the old boys and girls as they found each other and went to visiting. They were having the time ot their lives and were loth to have the meeting called to order as they were having such a good time. In fact they said it was one of the most pleasant hours of the entire meeting. When Pres. Kearney finally called to order it was by music rendered by Mr, and Mrs. Melvin Burgess and son of Hartland. Mrs. Burgess was formerly Mias Ftta Placeway, daughter of of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Placeway. They certainly make fine music for an orchestra of three pieces. They are a part of a larger orchestra at Hartland and if with all together they make music aocordmg to what these renderit must be great. They played and had to respond to an encore. Reports were read from the treasurer and secretary and after the bills are all in the entire report will be printed. At this meeting it was not complete as all had not paid their dues nor were all the bills in so it was incomplete. The following nominating committee were appointed. E. W. Kennedy J. C Dunn C. V.

Today is the big Gleaner picnic at Joslin Lake near Unadilla. One farmer of Shiawassee county reports a yield of wheat 364 bushels from 11 acres. The storm did considerable damage by lightening in this county as well as thiough the state. However the rain was a blessing and benefited the farmers hundreds of dollars. Last Saturday a party composed of Mrs. I. W. Davis, Mrs. W. H. Placeway, daughter Lola and son Clayton, Miss Kate Brown and Miss Birdie Davis went to Detroit for the day. They had a pleasant time and sort of picnic, They went for the trip and fun of it. The Markey family never forget to come back to Pinckney during "Old Home Week." This year all were here but two—Jas.

It is reported'by recently returned visitors in London and Paris that the young man about town nu lyugej neglects his figure, but keeps his waist within bounds. The lounge suit has ceased to lounge on tiie back of its wearer, and color r«igns in waistcoats, -ties, and even the nether garments.

Matters of Note and Comment Picked Up Here and There About the State Briefly Told. Robert Campbell, the defaulting attorney, who was arrested in the south and brought back to Jackson, wants to «ee all his friends. He sat in the jail office Saturday morning and after consultation with Attorney Barkworth received a number of friends. Campbell states that he expects to pay every cent due his clients, that he-Intended to beat no one and never did. He admits using money passing through his hands, but had expected to pay back every cent and simply got In too deep. Of Henrietta Brows, who eloped with him, Campbell speaks well. He claims she is a high-minded girl. Campbell has come to realise his situation and suffers deeply from the disgrace. A Deeerted Wife. Hoston-HeraJd, the men will also be | Mrs. John Haney, who left Cadillac parading in the male costume of the directoire. To do this with dignity the new "flesh sculpture" must be called in and the fatal fat carved away. Had Napoleon Bonaparte weighed 300 instead of being a slip of a fellow, *t is doubtful if the Venuses of the directoire would have worn fashions a la Grecque. But the Frenchmen of the* empire were not over and above well fed. To be fat and shapeless was the exception. Another Start for the Pole. For the ninth time Commodore Peary starts on a hunt for the north pole. There will be a universal admiration for his courage and perseverance, but there Js no longer any great degree of general interest manifested in polar expeditions. Even the purely scientific interest in these expeditions is not so lively as it was 25 or 30 years ago. The scientific inquiry of the day has more regard to usefulness of results than ever before in the general history and progress of scientific investigation. It is difficult .n conceive, says yards. This last stunt took the skin with her husband and her adopted daughter to go to Oklahoma, is reported to be stranded and deserted in Minneapolis. She told the police -hat they had to wait over for a train and that her husband said he would go out for a walk. A little later the adopted daughter, a girl of 17, said she would go for a walk, too. M.rs. Haney says that she sat in the "station all night and then came to the conclusion that they had deserted her. She had had a picture of her husband in a bundle, but when she was going to hand it over to the police to aid them in their search it was missing. Mrs. Haney is without money. An Unfortunate. Harry McFall, of Holland, is the child of ill fortune. About four weeks ago while working at the Holland shoe factory his thumb was crushed In the machine he was running, which necessitated an unwelcome layoff. Two weeks after that while sailing on Black lake with some companions a gucUZen storm upset the boat and they escaped drowning by a narrow margin. Friday while riding his bicycle down hill he was thrown off and shot along the gravel road for several the Baltimore A m e r i c a , that the actual reaching of the i i l a l point on the globe, termed "the north pole," if it is ever accomplished, will be of practical benefit to humankind. It is extremely doubtful whether the actual discovery of the pole will assist in the working out of any of the great physical problems of the earth that are yet unsolved. It. will doubtless be a source of national pride to reflect, in case Peary at last succeeds, that the American flag, and not some other flag, floats from a staff planted at one of the axial extremities of this whirling globe. Uniform Dishonored Again. Another manifestation of hostility to the national uniform is reported from New London, Conn., in consequence of which the commanding officer of t i e Naval Academy practice squadron ha* requested that the base of ipiyaUor.a be changed to Newport, to *vMd' the discourtesy with which hit a ibj nilnates are treated. There has been , similar experience on the part of sailors at Newport, but that place appe*>. s to have repented of misdeeds *»nd in the face of popular protest and official denunciation to have reversed former action. The bat tleshlp cruise and the example shown by the people of the Pacific coast have proved that our officers and sailors as a whole are a wel^Wbaved lot, says the Troy (N. Y.) Times, and that the courtesies extended are not ahused. Newport has taken the lesson to heart, and New London is likely to discover the error of a contrarv course. from McFall's hands and knees and injured his hip seriously. Victims of Dynamite. Daniel Detwllei, highway commissioner, ami Gene Badgley, of Chesanfng, were badly injured by the explosion of a two-pound charge of dynamite they were using to blow up a Hump. The charge failed to explode, and when they were investigating it went off in their faces. Hadtrley'a face was terribly lacerated nn<l the sight of both eyes were destroyed. He also sustained a severe scalp wound. Ho was taken to Ann Arbor en the first train In the hope of saving his life. Detwiler's face was filled with small gravel r.nd bits cf \v<;od, but he will probably recover. Hadglpy has been very unfortunate in the line cf accidents. A few years ago he was Injured on the head and has a silver plate, in his skull. He has suffered a broken limb three time*--, dislocated shoulder and had a pitchfork handle nearly run through his bodv. He has a wife and a little babe and his aged mother lives with him. Detwiler has a wife and thre? children. * Both men are popular and were opponents for highway commissioner in the recent election, Detwiler winning by two votes. Of course, all those who believe in the intellectual superiority of the Caucasian race are prepared to ex plain -how it happened that a 1.1-year old colored girl won the puhlic school championship in spelling at the national education convention at Cleveland. Their notion is that this little ne^ro girl has new about reached the ape before which Jfr&ck children are as mentally bright as white children, if not hrightor, while after it they arc apt to lapse into comparative dullness, their continued bvnln development bping prevented by the early closing of their skull sutures. It is an Ingenious If not an altogether convincing, theory, rerr.arks the Boston Herr.ld. And yet it may reasonably be do.ibted if tbl« little colored girl" e t e r forgets hdw tr> •pel:. STATE BRISKS. The Anti-Soloon Campaign. The Anti-Saloon league Is arranging for a bigger campaign even than the one announced a few weeks ago, with the intention of making prohibition state wide within a very few years. Tt is intended to carry on the fight In .".:» counties, mostly those contiguous to "dry" territory, and covering more than half the area of the lower peninsula. At first the league had determined to confine Itself to these counties: Berrien, Branch, Hillsdale, Calhoun, Allegan, Eaton, Livingston, Ionia, Ottawa, Montcalm, Isabella, Mecosta, Clare, Lake Alcona, Kalamazoo, Sanilac, Huron, Tuscola, Osceola and Ingham. Then there were five mentioned as doubtful: Benzie, Leelanau, Antrim, Mason and Newaygo. Tt is now announced that these are no longer doubtful. The league Intends to carry the fight into each of the five. In addition the following new counties are added to the list: Genesee, Shiawassee, Macomb, St. Clair, Crawford, R O T O mm on, OgK. .aw, Iosco and Arenac. And He Got Nothing, Michael Malley, the Muskegon township farmer who herded 17 cattle in his liarn and refused lo let the owners have them until they paid him for damages done to his corn field, capitulated when the sheriffs deputies arrived with replevins and took the cattle from him.

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

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

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

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

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

Its history was a simple one, but of exceptional i n t e r e s t ; It had been pawned one morning In the early years of his business life by a respectable elderly gentleman, who, after some haggling, accepted for it the sum of four dollars. With this sum and the customary ticket, he went out of Hicks* establishment, and was never again seen there or elsewhere. Nearly a year from the date of this transaction, and just before the expiration of the term of the loan, a young man had turned up, and had inquired with evident anxiety regarding the pledged umbrella. • "It is most important," said the young man, "for—for family reasons, that this article be redeemed.

Doubtless its value w«e sentimental mevely-j and yet—the claimant had been strangely eager. There was some mystery about it. Well, in 30 days it might be solved, for, if, as the young rna.n.. had said, its owner nnd the ticket were both at the bottom of the bea, the 'umbrella- wovld become his when the loan matured.

Each year rifcks' visirot leaked thinner and more careworn, and his argument grew nvpre,languld and perfunctory; but if his pursuit was teas eager it was not less persistent, and each annual recurrence of th« date found him promptly on hand to protect his mysterious interests.

Thus time wont on, tho young man still cow «very (Copyright, by Shoriatory Fub. Co.) a middle aged man, by and by an Old man, older than bis jqeara, fhab>ler than once and feebler, but still unfjtillug in patience. Thus more than half a century went by, and as the fifty-eighth anniversary of what had now come to be the chief event of hit, lite approached, Hicjff felt a livelier hop* than usual stir within him. Hut annual visitor had seemed unusually feeble at the time of his last visit, and the chance that hv could have survived appeared comfortingly remote. A.* conviction that at length the inystwy of so many years would be somehow revealed to him penetrated the old pawnbroker's mind, and aa the critical date', approached, he felt an almost youthful eagerness of anticipation. As a rule his visitor had turned up a day or two earlier than was necetrfcry, hnt this year he had not appeared on the morning of the final day. By the terms of the loan the owner's rights expired a t noon, and as t h a t hour approached, Hicks took down the umbrella with an unsteady hand and deliberated upon a plan, of investigation. He had amply provided himself with tools, and only awaited liberty to use them. One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten! Eleven! Twelve! Hicks had selected a cold chisel from his lay-out, and was posing a hammer to strike, when a shadow fell upon his desk, and a familiar voice said: "Yes, you've beaten. I haven't the price. I've fried hard, but when one hasn't money to pay for food, even bigger things must go." Hicks paused in his work and looked at his visitor. "Let me show yon," he said. "There is an easier way." He took the umbrella from Hicks' and, inserting an awl in one eye of the1 carved face on the umbrella head, with this leverage easily unscrewed the top, to the pawnbroker's amazement and disgust. The cavity thus discovered contained only a piece of folded paper, yellow with age. Upon this Hicks pounced with a kind of whine of animal greed and satisfaction. But the stranger's hand fell upon his with an energy of which hia feeble body scarcely seemed capable. "Don't touch it!" he cried. "For God's sake don't. It is nothing—nothing to you; to me it is so much. No," he urged, as Hicks strove to withdraw his prize. "Not yet, at any rate. Not until you have heard my story." He sank into a chair, his hand still grasping Hicks' wrist, and went on passionately: "It belonged to her father—this umbrella. He was my employer, and a rich man; and I loved his daughter, and she loved mo. Rut he found it out, and forbade me his house—forbade me to think of her. Hut I wouldn't give her up and, she wouldn't, give me up, and so we used to write one another every day, and send the letters back and forth In this umbrella handle. The old man always carried it, wet or dry, and I used to watch my chance during the day and unscrew the top while he was out of the office, and put in my letter, and she did the same at home. It seemed a great joke then to make him our postman." Hicks slowly withdrew his hand, leaving the yellow paper between them on the desk. "Business -went wrong," continued the stranger after a pause. "The old man got involved worse and worse, tried the wrong way out of it, and had to skip. He realized on everything he had—even this, as it turned out—and left between two days, taking her with him. They sailed for South Atrrertaa on the Ginevra—you remember— she was never heard from— never even spoken. And never a word from her—it was all so sudden—I knew that—but something might have been done—I couldn't understand. I guess I went pretty near out of my mind. My body juat Went round without me, somehow, for months, doing the old things without my knowing anything about it, when all at once I thought of the old 'umbrella route,' as we lined to call it. It was a chance. Perhaps she didn't, have any other. All their things had been scattered by sale, but I hunted and hunted. There were.% hundred chances that, he had taken It. with him, but I took the one that he hadn't. By and by I thought of the pawn shops, and went, the rounds. I guess yours was about the last, and when I got my eyes on the old thing, it was like coming home. Rut Ihe ticket stuck me, and I couldn't toll my story to surh a man as you were then.

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

F I V E M O N T H S IN HOSPITAL. Captain *cott, NeW York Sailor, Oeeo Hi* Own Body to 8top Leek In Crowded Ferryboat—All on Board Saved. One morning in January, when the fee in the Hudson river ran unusually heavy, a Hohoken ferry boat slowly crunched her way through the floating floes, until the thickness of the pack choked her paddles in mldrlver. It waa an early morning trip and the decks were crowded with laboring men and the driveways choked with teams; the women and children standing inside the cabins were a solid mass up to the awlnging doors. Whild she waa gathering strength for a further effort, an ocean tug aheered to avoid her, veered a point, and crashed into har aide, cutting her below the water line In a groat Vwhated. gasji.

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

Psychologists, spiritualists, those who seek to raise the veil from what has been the unknowable, can study these facts: Mrs. McNulty, about 60 years old, Is as estimable as unimaginative; she loves her family and her home, her friends and neighbors esteem her highly. She has been ill. While seated In a chair recently she became unconscious; her family, intensely alarmed, hurried a messenger for Dr. Mulligan, who has been treating her. On closest examination the physician found that she had ceased to breathe. He detected a faint pulse at her wrist, but quickly that disappeared; her heart had Btopped beating; seemingly she was dead.

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

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

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

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

T h e webt tib a whole la far beyond the tsuat iu ltb abatement of the aiuoke nulraance. In St. Paul nutne four years ago, the work was given orer to the department of health, whose first act was to lay the following question before the local and national unions of uteatn engineers and firemen: "Can t h e smoke nuisance as It exists to-day be reasonably prevented without injury to trade and manufacturing interests?" This question was unanimously answered in the affirmative by the members of both unions. Notices were taken in all dubious cases and fines were Imposed when necessary, a minimum flue of $25 for the first offense, doubled for each succeeding one. The work has been most successful, and besides an abatemement of smoke, a saving of fuel is reported. In Milwaukee an ordinance Which has gone through periods of relaxation and others'of strict enforcement, has been successful when properly managed, continues Hollis Godfrey in the Atlantic. About half the city at the time of a recent report used emoke-oonsuming devices, about one-fourth used hard coal or smokeless fuel. The general condition of the city was admirable. So admirable, indeed, that the title of the ordinance passed by the common council 1B worth quoting in full as an epitome of what such an ordinance should be. MICHIGAN NEWS MR.

Crand Rapids Democrats <nform«d the secretary of state's office Saturday that they will send In a few days a big bunch of petitions for W. N. Ferris for the Democratic nomination for governor. In the mall was a letter from Mr. Ferris in which he reiterated his statement that he is not a candidate for governor and «:oncludiug: "You will therefore refrain from permitting my name to be printed as a candidate at the primaries." Mr. Kerris's request caunot be complied with, as it is the duty of the secretary of state to authorize as candidates those who file the necessary UBtltions. There have been about 300 petitions tiled for Ferris KG far. About 2,500 are needed to nominate bipi. MNk of Human Kindness. There is a great deal of kindness and consideration in the world, even if the pessimist* do try to prove the contrary. Some days ago one of the big trans-Atlantic steamers sailed from Hoboken leaving behind a considerable number of persons who had engaged steerage .passage home and could not be accommodated In the rush for quarters. The Hartford Courant was inclined to think it anything but a square deal to sell tickets to more passengers than the vessel could provide quarters for, but learns that the aliens whose passage i r a s delayed are being properly and comfortably cared for. The ship lines assume full responsibility, and a society organised for the purpose supplements the, companies' efforts in case of, .need Cots • r e put on boats wblcfc. .-ar*; ; i *4,a the dock, and each of the "holdovers" gets 75 centB a day to meet living expenses while so detained.

Little straws indicating returning prosperity are noticeable in Marquette and vicinity. The Breitung mines are taking on 250 additional men, and it is planned to keep Ihem employed throughout the winter. The Lake Shore Engine Works has put departments en full time that have been on part time for some months past, and the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic railroad shops, which have been running on a four-day schedule, have extended it to five. The picking up in general industrial conditions, which is evidenced by these developments, extends to other activities in the upper peninsula, and there is a good demand for men. Building operations in this city were never more active. tenia Has Fire But Six fires of incendiary origin in as many weeks have put Ionia people In a state of apprehension closely bordering on terror.

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

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

"I shall keep most-of those widows' autographs," said Mr. Collett. "They are very Interesting. A collection of autographs of such a character would be worth having, wouldn't it? Different from the usual dull collections of mere signatures, e h ? " He smiled and went on: • "An autograph fiend w h o collects mere signatures is rather a fool, and he i s very easily taken in. Whenever I think of him, I think of a little story about him. "According to this story, an autograph fiend walked into an old curiosity shop and said: " 'You advertise that you have autographs of Washington and Shakespeare for sale. If your terms are reasonable, I should like to purchase specimens of each of those autographs:* "The' proprietor bowed politely.

Doan's Kidney Pills bring the- quickest of relief from backache and kidney troubles. Is that relief lasting? Let Mrs. James M. Long, of 113 N. Augusta St., Staunton, Va., tell you. On January 3\st: 1963, Mrs. Long wrote: "Doan's Kidney Pills have cured xne" (of pain in tixe back, urinary trou. blqs, bearing down sensations^ etc.).

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

It, h a s been decided that to keep it a few years longer it. shall be taken out once a year and played on for an hour by the best pupil of the conservatoire.

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

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

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

"This, then, Miss Jones," said the young man, as h e started for the door, "is your final decision?" "It is, Mr. Wick," said t h e young girl, firmly. "Then," he replied, his voice betraying a n unnatural calmness, "there is but one more thing to do." "What is that?" she asked, toying absently with t h e lobe of her shelllike ear.

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

Dr. Lelghton Parks, rector of St. Bartholomew's chnroh, this story is told: "Tt is known to few that while stHl a young man Dr. Potter was called upon to deal with a parishioner who had become intemperate; In the course of the conversation t h e man remarked: 'But you also drink wine,' to which came the quick response, 'If you will promise never to touch Intoxicants again so will I.'

Dr. George P. Bhrady once war asked What he considered the star achievement of bh» long, professional career. The great surgeon thought for a moment, and then uald, with a twinkle in his eye: "It's an operation that. HU warrant you Jfteyer heard of. In fact, I don't know the name of the patient and X never got any fee for i t I was summoned, saved a boy's life and drove away, all in a very few minutes. "One summer, years ago, I was out driving in the country up the state. I was going by a farmhouse when a man rushed out waving his arms at me. 'Drive for a doctor, quick,' Ae yelled. 'My boy's choking to death.' I pulled up my team, shouted to the man to hold the horses and dashed into the house. A boy about ten years old was lying on a couch in the dining room. His face was purple and I did not have to look twice to see that he was choking to death. His mother wu:i kneeling beside him, crying. There was not time for questions or anything else, but the quickest kind of quick work. I saw that I would have to perform the operation of tracheotomy without a moment's delay. 1 had no instruments with me. 1 felt in my pocket for my penknife, opened it, made the necessary incision in the boy's windpipe and fixed him up temporarily until I could Bend a note to the nearest doctor to complete the job. "I heard afterward that the boy got well, and that my penknife operation was as complete a success as if it had been performed in a hospital with all the appliances. I have often, looked back on that operation with distinct pleasure, because I worked BO swiftly, surely and well without a second's preparation—automatically in fact. That is why I feel like calling it my 'star' achievement." X-Rey Dermatitis. Mr. Hall Edwards, who was recently granted a civil list in recognition of his services in the development cf medical radiography, underwent a further operation at his residence. Bristol road, Birmingham, recently. In February last the left arm, which had been violently attacked by whet is known as X-ray dermatitis, was amputated below the elbow. This did not give the relief hoped for, however, the wound failing to heal, and the patient suffering almost as acute pain as before. The operation was also unsuccessful in arresting the progress of the disease, which developed seriously in the right hand. The last operation involved the removal of the ringers of the right hand. It was performed by Mr. Gilbert Barling, agisted by Mr. Macardle and Mr. Vickers Whitby. On inquiry it was stated that the patient had recovered from the effects of the anaesthetic, and was in as hopeful a condition as could be expected. Mr. Hall Edwards has latterly been engaged on a work dealing with dermatitis which, it is understood, he has practically completed.— London Times. Making a Profit. A j arty of amateur pigeon shooters some time ago arranged for a match, and ordered HO pigeons from a dealer in a neighboring town, says the Penny Magazine. The shooting was of a really wonderful character, but the actual performances need not be described in detail. The net result will be gathered readily from the following note, which was subsequently received from the dealer. It ran: "Gentlemen—I beg sincerely to thank you for your order, and to intimate that I shall be only too happy to supply you with any number of birds on future occasions of this sort. The whole of the 30 birds, for which you paid me, returned in safety, and, moreover, brought with them a stray pigeon. My prte* to your party henceforth will be reduced." Offended Art. "I want a photograph representing me just as I am. None of this 'touching up' business, understand." "You are in the wrong shop." replied the artistic photographer. "Better try the police station. It's a Bertillon style of picture you're after." Not a Native. lAwson—I thought you said your friend was from Vermont? Dawson—So he is. What of it?

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

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

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

Standing in a carriage in the middle of Congress street, between the Auditorium and Auditorium Annex, in Chicago, and before a crowd which completely choked the thoroughfare, for nearly half a hour, William Jennings Bryan outlined the uses to which Democratic clubs can be put in the present campaign. He was repeatedly interrupted by applause and shouts of 'good, good." Bryan made a plea for popular subscrtptiens, and estimated that the Democratic national ticket this year would muster 8,000,000 votes. If each of those voters would subscribe even 25 cents, he said, an ample campaign fund would be secured. Hryan will make a determined effort to place New York state in the Democratic column in November. Plans to this end were carefully laid at a three-hour conference of Hryan, National Chairman Mack, heads of the various bureaus of the national committee and members of the executive committee, shortly after Bryan's arrival from Des Moines. Bryan will speak In New York City, Syracuse and Rochester between September Hi and 20, and early in October will again speak in New York City and in Buffalo. Chairman Mack announced that Ir.yan would speak in Cleveland September 21, in Columbus September 22. in Cincinnati September 211, and would probably speak in Dayton on a dale yet to be determined. I'f was developed at the conference that Bryan would make a sharp light in '.he middle west, while John YV. Kem, the vice-presidential candidate, would likely be called on to make an extended tour of Pacific coast states. Alleging that under the Georgia prohibition law it is unlawful to bring communion wine into the stater fnd u religious worship is thus restricted, the Christian Moerleln Brewing Co. of Cincinnati has asked that the law be declared null and void.

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

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

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

Social Incident Makes Society Smile coming president of the United States than any other man, and that in standing upon his undoubted right to demand first place or none he did the worst thing possible. "What if it is his right and duty to, say he will not walk behind a mere private citizen," said a minor diplomatic society man in discussing the Incident. "What good will that do him when Mr. Taft is the president? Will the then president have forgotten that the minister said he woXild not dance in the German with him?" It was tactless for M. Gude to even suggest, his rights to a "pig of a maltre de hotel," sav the diplomats, because he should have known that the hotel man would tell the newspapers about it and. in that way his refusal would come to the ears of Mr. Taft. The only ihing at all in favor of the minister is the fact that there is not a great deal of diplomatic business to transact between Norway and the- United States and Mr. Taft is likely to be so busy for the first few months after he goes into office that he win forget thene waa such a man <u guides THE refusal of Minister and Mme. Gnde to participate in the German led by Wflliam H. Taft will not produce a diplomatic incident between Norway and the United States. It cannot, because the United States has no official social functions and the squabbles, about precedence never have anything more than an indirect* effect, upon diplomatic relations The minister created a great deal of talk among the many diplomatic officials in Washington, not because he had refused to participate, but because he allowed the hotel management to know why he refused. The diplomatic view is that Minister' Gude made an awful blunder in w>t recognising tb« fact that Mr. Taft Uafl.-a better chaoce. probabiyv of be- ' . i ' • i f *•>. After several years of indigestion and its attendant evi! influence on the mind, it is not very surprising that. one finally loses faith in things generally. A N.

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

The oatfisb uses bis lungs RR an organ of hearing. Tho needless lung becomes a closed sac filled with air nnd commonly known as the swim bladder. In the catfish, as in the suckers, chubs and most, brook llsb, tho air bladder la larpo nnd is connected by a slender tube, the remains of the trachea, to the esophagus. At its front It fita closely to the vertebral column. The anterior vertebrae are much enlarged, twisted together, nnd through them passes a chain of bones, which connects with the hidden cavity of the air. The bladder therefore assists the ear of the catfish as the tympanum, and its bones assist the ear of the higher animals. An ear of this sort can carry little range of variety in sound.

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

Dudley in summoned to'trite morgue and there finds the dead body of his friend, Henry Wilton. Ami thus Wilton-dies Without ever explaining to Dudley the puzzling work he was to perform in San Francisco. In order to discover the secret mission hi« friend had ^fitPUgteit. to him, Dudley continues his disguise and permits himself to he known as Henry Wilton. He learus that there is a boy whom he is charged with secrv.tiiiR and proteefing. Dudley, mistaken for Wilton, is employed' by Knapp to assist in a stock brokerape deal. Giles Dudley rinds' himself closeted in a room with Mother Burton who makes a confidant of him. He can learn nothing about the mysterious boy further than that it is Tim Terrill arid Darby Meeker who are after him. Dudley visits the, 'home of Kmipp and is stricken by the beauty of I.uella, his daughter. Slumming tour through Chinatown is planned. The trip to Chinatown. Giles Dudi«y I earus that the party la being shadoKred by Terrill. T.uellu and Dudley are cut off from the rest of the party and imprisoned in a hallway behind an iron-bound door.

The "gang" Including Darby Meeker and Tim Terrill, lay ^iege to the hotel and .endeavor to capture "the boy," who comes forward to see the fight.

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

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

The silence of the moment that followed was almost painful, when the voice of Doddridge Knapp rang like a trumpet through the Hoard-room. "Five hundred for Omega!" This was a wild jump from 325 that, was marked against the stock at the close on Saturday, but I supposed the King of the Street knew what he was about. At the bid of Doddridge Knapp a few cries rose here and there, and he was at once the center of a group of gesticulating brokers. Then I saw Decker, pale, eager, alert, standing by the rail across the room, signaling orders to men who howled bids and plunged wildly into the crowd that, surrounded his rival. The bids and offers came back and forth with shouts and br.rks, yet they made but a murmur conpared to the whirlwind of sound that had arisen from the pit at. the former struggles I had witnessed. There seemed but a few blocks of the stock on the market. "This is great," chuckled Wallbridge, taking post before me. "There hasn't been anything like it since Decker captured Chollar in the election of '73. You don't, remember that, I guess?" "I wasn't in the market, then," I admitted. "Lord! Just to hear that!" cried ttte stout little man, mopping his glistening head frantically and quivering with nervous excitement. "Doddridge Knapp bids 1,500 for the stock and only gets five shares. Oh, why ain't. I a chance to get. into this?" I heard a confused roar, above which rose the fierce tones of Doddridge Knapp. "How many shares has he got today?" I asked. "Not 40 yet." "And the others-?" "There's been about 2,000 sold." T gripped the rail in nervous tension. The battle seemed to l.e going against the King of the Street. "Oh!" gasped Wallbridge, trembling With excitement. "Did yon hear that? There! It's 1.700—«ov K V L775'.- W h e w ! " • • " -JU.' I echoed tb* exclamation. "Oh, why , .haven't -1 flflt 1I>M shares?" he groaned. "Who is gettiiy t h e m ? " "Rn»pp-*Knt tm last loL 0<jib, loofc there! Did you ever see the like of that?" I looked.

At Decker's appearance the broker* opened a lane to him, the cries fell and there was an instant of silence as the kings of t h e market thus came came face to face. I shall never forget the sight. Doddridge Knapp, massive, calm, forceful, surveyed Vis opponent with unruffled composure He was dressed in a light gray-brow'» suit that made him seem larger thau ever. Decker was nervous, disheveletf. his dress of black setting off the pallor of his face, till it seemed as white aa his shirt bosom, as hn fronted the King of the Street. The foes faced each other, watchful as two wrestlers looking to seize an opening, and the Board-room held ita breath. Then the crowd of brokers closed in again and the clamor rose once more. I could not make out the progress of the contest, but the trained ear of Wallbrfdge interpreted the explosions of inarticulate sound. "Phew! listen to that! Two thousand, 2,100, 2,150. Great snakes! See her j u m p ! " he cried. "Decker's getting it." My heart sank. Doddridge Knapp must have smothered his brain once more in the Black Smoke, and was now paying the price of indulgence. And his plans of wealth were a sacrifice to the wild and criminal scheme into which he had entered in his contest against the Unknown. The clang of the gong recalled me from the reverie that had shut out the details of the scene before me. "There! Did you hear that?" groaned Wallbridge. "Omega closes at 2,600 and Decker takes every trlck^ Oh, why didn't you have me on the floor out there? By the great horn spoon, I'd 'a' had every share of that stock, and wouldn't 'a' paid more than half as much for it, neither." 1 sighed and turned, sick at heart, to meet the King of the Street as he shouldered his way from the floor. There was not a trace of his misfortune to be read in his face. But Decker, the victor, moved away like a man oppressed, pale, staggering, half-fainting, as though the nervous strain had brought him to the edge of collapse. Doddridge Knapp made his way to the doors and signed me to follow him, but spoke no word until we stood beside the columns that guard the entrance. "That was warm work," said Dodd' ridge Knapp after a moment's halt. "1 was very sorry to have it turn out ap," I said. A grim smile passed'over his face, "I wasn't," he growled good humoredly. "I thought it was rather neatly done." I looked at him in surprise. "Oh, I forgot that 1 hadn't seen you," he countinued. "And like enough I shouldn't have told you if I had. The truth is, I found « block of 4,000 shares on Saturday night, and made a combination with them." (TO BE CONTINUED.) BUTTER BY~THE~YARD. NATUflE AND A WOMAN'S WORK Dairy Product Is So Sold in City of Cambridge, England. In Cambridge, England, butter is sold by the yard. For generations it has been the practice of Cambridgeshire dairy folk to roll their butter into lengths, each length measuring a yard and weighing a pound. Deftly wrapped in strips of clean white cloth, the cylindrical rolls are packed in long, narrow baskets made for the purpose, and thus conveyed to market. The butter women who, in white linen aprons and sleeves, preside over the stalls In the market have no need of weights or scales for dispensing their wares. Constant practice and experienced eyes enable ^hem with a stroke of the knife to divide a yard of butter into halves or quarters with almost mathematical exactness. The university people are the chief buyers of this curiously shaped product. In addition to being famed for its purity and sweetness, Cambridge "yard butter" is eminently adapted for being served to the students in the daily commons. Cut In conveniently sized pieces and accompanied by a loaf of the heat wheat bread, a stated portion is sent round every morning* to the rooms of the undergaduates for use at. breakfast and tea.—-The Sunday MagR7ine.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Littlejohn j and family were driving to the picnic J at Portage lake, one of Mr. Davis'j horses became frightened at an anto ' standing in front of F. G. Jacksonsj residence. The team ran from there' to the bridge just south of town before he had them under control and ! when a few reds further south, the one' ot the horses that was the most fright- j ened, staggered a few rods and fell j dead tn the road. It is thought that! the fright and ex itement caused the! rupture of a blood vessel and sudden ; death. i There wa> a large attendance at the morning service and the pastor preach-1 ed a powerful sermon which was much appreciated. } Next Sunday will be the last service of the conference year and Rev.

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

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

So prevalent is the habit that ia hotels, and even in clubs, requests are ; posted up to "refrain from whistling." Progress Reported.

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

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

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

What w a s the astonishment of every oue when he made so weak an effort as to be accused of pandering to the plutocratic interest. Scott was acquitted, and Ruddock was defeated In the election. About the time that Ruddock left the law school he met Margaret Cushman, a girl of very strong character. She had a conscience of cast iron. Nothing could swerve her from what she considered the right. She was much pleased with Ruddock, its he was with her, but she feared t h a t his sense of principle was not as strong in him UB it should be. He strove to convince her that she had mistaken a certain elasticity for something worse, citing the Puritan as an example of a too rigid conscience. They were engaged, and the engagement lasted until Ruddock defended a notorious rogue and by his brilliant legal tactics acquitted him. Margaret knew all about this case and could not see how her lover could make hla action accord with his conscience.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"You director* may be honest," said Chase, turning to them, in the court, ' b u t you have hopelessly neglected your duty in shoving responsibility 'on a 23-year-oid boy."

There is no question but that when the official count is in the difference between Warner and Bradley will be leas than u00. Returns which came to Lansing on Thursday indicated that Dr. Bradley in no event will have a majority of more than 100 or 2t)0 over Gov.

The heavy vote for Dr. Bradley In Kent and Saginaw and Detroit and -he big pluralities given Gov.

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

CHAPTER XXVI.—Continued. There was none of the sounds of riot I had expected to hear as we drew DP before it. The lantern fcllnketT outside with, its invitation to manifold ?neef within. Lights streamed through *he window and half-opened door, and quiet and order reigned. I found the explanation of the change in the person of a policeman, who stood at the door. "Has there been trouble here, officer ?" t asked. "Oh, Is. it you, sor?" said Corson's hearty Yolce. "I was wondering about ye. Well, there has been a bit of a row here, and there's a power of broken heads to be mended. There's wan man out to pieces, and good riddance, for it's Black Dick. I'm thinking it's the morgue they'll be taking him to, though it wa^ for the receiving hospital they started with him. It was a dandy row, and it was alventeen arriste. we m a d e / ' . " • ' .

We mounted, the creaking stairs in the light of the smoky lamp that stood on the bracket, : and Corson opened a dorr for me. » A flickering enndie played fantastic tricks with the furniture, sent aha clews daticiflcr over the dingy walls, and gave a. weird touch to the' t ^ o figures that bent over the lied in thevcorner.

"|Cb. dearie, J ku*w you would come,'' bhe cried., The doctor pushed his way to the bedside. "I must Insist that the patient bo quiet," he said with authority. "Be quiet?" cried Mother Bortuu. "la It for the likes of you that I'd -be quiet? You white-washed tombstone raiser, you body suatcher, do you think you're the man to tell uie to hold my tongue when 1 want to talk to a gentleman?" Mother Borton hud raised herself upon one elbow; her face, flushed and framed in bet- gray and laugled hair, was working with unger; aud her eyes were almost lurid as she bent fierce glances at one after another or the men about her. Shw puiated a skinny finger at the door, and each man as she cast her look upuu him went out without a word. "Shut the door, huuey," she said quietly, lyiag down once morn with a satisfied smile. "That's it. Now rue and you can talk cozy-like." "You'd better not talk. Perhaps you will Teel more like it to-morrow." "There won't be any to-morrow for me," gTowled Mother Borton. "I've seen enough of 'era carved to know when I've get the dose myself. Curse that knife!" aud she groaned at a twinge of pain. "Who did if." "Black Dick—curse his soul. And he's roasting in hell for it this minute," cried Mother Borton, savagely. "Hush!" I said. "You mustn't excite yourself." "There's maybe an hour left in me. VVa must hurry. Tell me about your trouble—at Livermore, was it?" said she. I gave her a brief account of the expedition and its outcome. Mother Borton listened eagerly, giving an occasional grunt of approval. ;; "Well, honey; I was some good to ye, after all," wa3 her comment. "Indeed, yes." "And you had a closer shave for your life than you think," she continued. "Tom Terrill swore he'd kill ye, and it's one of the miracles, sure, that he didn't." "Well, Mother Borton, Tom Terr-ill's laid up in Livermore with a broken head, and I'm ' safe here With you, ready to serve you in any way that a nr.un may." "Safe—safe?" mused Mother Borton, an absent look coming over her skinny features, as though her mind wandered. Then she turned to me impressively. "You'll never be aafe till you change yofur work and your name. You've shut your ears to my words while I'm alive, but maybe you'll think of 'em when.I'm, in my coffin. Il(te,ll you now, boy, there's murder and death before you. Do.you hear? Murder and death." She sank back on her pillow and gazed at me with a wearied light in her eyes and a sibyl look on her face. "I think I understand," I said gently. "I have faced them and I ought to know them." "Then you'll—you'll quit yoav job —you'll be yourself?" "I can not. 1 must go on.' "And why?" "My friend—his work—hi3 murderer." "Have you got the man who murdered Henry Wilton'?" "No." "Have you got a man who will give a word against—against—you know who?" "I have not a scrap of evidence against any one but the testimony of my own eyes," I was compelled to confess. "And you can't use it—you dare not j use it. Now I'll tell you, dearie, I know the man as killed Henry Wilton." "Who was it?" I cried, startled into eagerness. "It was Black Dick—the cursed scoundrel thrit's done for me. Oh!" she groaa-ed in pain. "Maybe Black Dick struck the blow, but X know the man that stood behind him, and paid him, and protected him, and I'll see him on the gallows before I die." "Hush." cried Mother Borton trembling. "If he should hear you! Your throat will be cut yet, dearie, and I'm to blame. Drop it, dearie, drop it. The boy is nothing to you. Leave him go. Take your own name and get away. This is no place for you. When I'm gone there will be no one to warn ye. You'll be killed. You'll b? killed." Then she moaned, but whether from pain of body or mind I could not Kuess. "Never .yen fear. I'll take care of myself," I said cheerily. She tookjed at me mournfully. "I am killed for ye, dearie." I started, shocked at this new.-;. "There," she continued slowly. "I didn't m e a n , to let yon know. Out they thought. I had hold ye." "Then I have two reasons instead of ona for holding to my task," I slid solemnly. "I have two friends to avenge." "You'll make the third yourself," groaned Mother Borton, ''unless they put a knife into Barkhouse first, and then you'll be the fonrth bellk«." "Barkhouse—do you know where he Is?" "He's in the Den—on Davis street, you know. I was near forgetting to tell ye. Send your men to get bim tonight, fur he's hurt and like to die. They may nave to right. No—duu't leave me now." "I wasn't goiug to leave you." Mother Borton put uer hand to her throat as though she choked, and was silent for a moment. Then she continued: "i'll be to blume if I don't tell you 1 must tell you. Are you listeniug'!" Her voice came thick and strange, and her eyes wandered anxiously about, searching the heavy shadows with a look of growing fear. "I am listening," 1 replied. "Yo« must know—you must- know ~r-i must tell you. The iwy- the worn au i s - " On a sudden Mother Bolton sat bolt upright in bed, aud a shriek, so long, so shrill, so freighted with terror, came from her lips that 1 shrank from her and trembled, faiut with the horror of the place. "They come—there, they come!" she cried, and throwing up her arms she tell back on the bed. The candle shot up into flame, sputtered an instant and was gone. And I was alone with the d a r k n e s s a n d the dead. CHAPTER XXVII. A Link in the Chain. I sprang to my feet. But before 1 had covered the distance to the door, it was flung open and Corson stood on the threshold. At t h e darkness lie wavered and cried: "What's th« matter here?" "She is dead."' ; I shuddered as A stood beside him, and brought the lamp from the bracket in the hall. Mother Borton lay back staring affrlghtedly at the mystic being who had ym. )\K'f**v 'vc*/; - T*VUW.JW>.*W*J come for her, but settled into peace as I closed her eyes and composed her limbs. "She was a rare old bird," said Corson when I had done, "but there was some good in her, after all." "She has beam a good friend to me," I said, and we called a servant from below and left the grewsoBje room to his guardianship. "And now, there's another little job to be done. There's one of my men a prisoner down o n i ) a v i s street. I must get him out." "I'm with you, sor." said Corson heartily. "I'm hopln' there's some he3ds to be cracked." I had not counted on the policeman's aid, but I was thankful to accept the honest offer. In the restaurant I found five of my men, and with this force I thought, that I might safely attempt an assault on the Den. The Den was a low, two-story building of brick, with a warehouse below, and the quarters of the enemy, approached by a narrow stairway above. "Step quietly," I cautioned my men, as we neared the dark and forbidding entrance, »"Keep close to the shadow of the buildings. Our best chance is in a surprise." There was no guard at the door that stood open to the street, and we halted a moment, before it to make sure of our plana. "It's a bad hole," whispered Corson. "A fine p'ftc? for an ambush," I returned dubiously. "Well, there's no help for it," said the policeman. "Come o n ! " And drawing his club and revolver he stole noiselessly up the stairs. We were not two-thirds the way up the flight before a voice shot out of the darkness. "Who's there?" There was no more need for silence, and Corson and I reached the landing just as a door opened that let the light stream from within. Two men had sprung to the doorway and another corrld he seen faintly outlined in the dark hall. The two men jumped back into the room and tried to close the door, but I was upon them before they could swing it shut. Four of my men had follored me close, and with a f«w V blows *1vf«i p a d ;»k*n t h e two w*n pri»oae?rj, ._ ^ ' " 1 % rthemjfajst/'i I ordered.', MM pastquffi to. M» buwCorsou fared.

"Aren't there any more about'.'" 1 asked. "Th«re were more ihau ihre* left in the gaug." "if there had been more of us, yuu'd never bave got in," growled one of th« prisoners. "Where's Barkhouse?" I asked- "Find him!" was the dettjiui reply. We began the search, open lug on* room after another. Some were sleep iag rooms, some th« meetlug rooms while the one we had first eutered a p peared to be the guarurooiu. Hello! What's this?" exclaimed Corssn, lapping an iron door, such as clones a warehouse against lire. "It's locked, sure enough," said Owens, after trial. I t must be the place we are look iug for," I said. "Search those men tor keys." The search was without, result. "It's a sledge we tutut get," said Owens, starting to look about for one. "Hould on," said Coraon, "I was uear rorgetting. I've got a master-key that fits most of these locks. It'i> handy fur closing up a Warehouse w ) e n some clenk with his wits a-wandeiing forgits bis job. So like enough it's good at unlocking." It neede^l a little etuueing, but the bolt at lastv slld back and, the heavy door swun* op*n. The room waB furnished with a large tabla, a big desk and a dozen chairs, which sprang out of t|p3 darkness as 1 struck a match and lit the gas. It was evidently Xh« council room af the enemy. "This is illigant," said the policeman, looking around with approval; "but your man Isn't here, I'd say." "Well, it looks as though there might be something here of interest," I replied, seizing eagerly upon the papers that lay scattered about upon the desk. "Look In the other room while I run through these." A rude diagram on the topmost paper caught my eye. It represented a road branching thrice. On the third branch was a cross, and then at iptervals 'fottr crosses, as if to mark some features of the landscape. Underneath was written: "From B—follow 1½ m. Take third road—3 or 5." The paper bore date of that day, and I guessed that it meant to show the way to the supposed hiding-place of the boy. Then, as I looked again, the words and lines touched a cord of memory. Something I had seen or known befor was vaguely suggested. I groped in the obscurity for a moment, vainly reaching for the phantom that danced Just beyond the grasp of my mental fingers. There was no time to lose in speculating, and I turned to the work that pressed before us. But as I thrust the papers into my pocket to resume the search for Barkhouae, the elusive, memory flashed on me. The diagram of the enemy recalled the single slip of paper T had found in the pocket of Henry Wilton's coat on the fatal night of my arrival. I had kept it always with me, for it was the sole memorandum left by him of the business that had brought^ him to J>«3 death. I brought it out and placed it sidT by side with the map I had before mt. The resemblance was less close than 1 had thought, yet all the main features were the same. There was the road branching thrice; a cross in both marked the junction of the third road as though it gave sign of a building or some natural landmark; and the other features were indicated in the same order. No—there was a difference in this point; there were five crosses on the third road in the enemy's diagram, while there were but four in mine. (TO BR CONTINUED.) WILLIAM KNEW H13 FAULT. / .

CARRIED GE8TURE TOO FAR. Boy's Action Possibly Appropriate, But Somewhat Unnecessary. Vivian Burnett/fthe original of the still-remembered Little Lord Fauatleroy, at ttie**Chicago convention discussed with a reporter a certain party maneuver. "They went too far there," said Mr. Burnett. "They made themselvesridiculous by their excess. Do you know what they reminded me af? They reminded me of a juvenile elocutionist my mother often tells about. "This lad, at a school treat, got up to recite the first piece of hla life. He was ambitious; he wished to make a great success of his piece; and he had been told by his teacher that the secret of elocution was the gesture—for every phrase its fitting gesture.

Mellin's gift in this respect approaches genius, though he was fully aware of what he deemed his shortcomings therein. Mellin used to make mattresses for a living.

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

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

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

They were all urnHtmi, $20,<HX) worth of jew i l l / recovered and the three sent to d<> tba« behind bars. ••The chief laughed at me heartily, but attributed my failure to inexperience.

Living his own life in hi* own re served way, cultured and studious, troubling no one, ofTending none; doubly liberal in bis expenditures and never pressed for means, steadfast in his chosen eccentricity—if such it were —and in hia face and manner no questioning doubt of himself, perhaps in time Henry Hobart had been accepted like any other man, the enrious had 1 cPaserl to be curious, and hia mysteri- [ ons character, without any further or ! deeper scrutiny, had become one of tho 1 mysteries of human life, had not the j.man been suddenly struck down as by 1 an invisible hand and the appalling mystery of his death heightened tenfold the mystery of his life. j On a Tuesday morning, at \T, mln 1 utes of ten o'clock, an attendant was I summoned by the call-bell to room 63 of the Snmnef fcostod,.'and upon j oheying the call* found Henry Hobart struggling in the throes of a strange and unaatural ..death. The Man Who Did Things Twice, half dressed, standing in the center \ of his outer rOotn, was battling with 1 the invisible atr about him for breath, j or, as the attendant put it. later, "Like he was flghtin' with something that I weren't, there." [ Th* Mvntei '-wAs ardhicd. Dr. Thiol I was hastily summoned frem his offlc?

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

"Httv« you ever experienced th« feeling, Mr. Johnson," said a young j lady, softly, "that some great opportuuity watt v/ithln your grasp, but you ; had hardly the presence of mind, the [ the courtfc>;y, as It were, to avail '. youraelf of It?" "Why er—yen, Mias Sleveus. • 1 ^ave at tlrnea had (hat kind of feel :af r " ! MibH S t e v e n s sighed dreatnlly, and •hen there waa a pause, during which the young couple sat in the semldark a e s s of the parlor In profound silence. He fcat down and looked helplessly at the glowing coals in the grate, with the feeling that every breach he drew was a mortifying and ghastly blunder. "AS you were about to say, Mr. Johntou," resumed the young lady, "there are times when It s e e m s to all of us we must speak what is in our minds." "Yes," vaguely answered the bewildered youth, as he tried to remember when he had begun to say anything of the kind. "Yes, of course." "And while I a m not so sure I ought to listen to you, Mr. Johnson," she safd, with downcast eye», "when you speak to me in this—this personal matter, yet—" The young man could feel his pulse beat a tattoo on the drums of h i s ears, but lie sat like u boy with his master's e y e upon him and said nothing. "By tLe way," exclaimed Miss Stevens, presently, "I have a new book of engravings, Mr. Johnson, that I am sure you will enjoy seeing. It is a large book, and you'll have to move your chair. Yes, you can sit here with me on the sofa. 1 never thought of that." The pictures danced before the e y e s of the young man in blurred, confused Images. " i s n ' t this engraving of the 'Courtship of Florence Dombey and Walter Gay' perfectly lovely?" "Wh-which Is Walter?" he gasped. "There! Look closer! Don't you see him?" "Wh—who's "he courting?" "You'll have to come closer, Mr, Johnson. I declare, though"—and she looked archly at the trembling youth —"I am almost afraid to let you come any nearer. You look exactly like Walter in. the picture." And then the arm of the helpless youug man stole In a timid, apologetic, rneakln"; way round the waist of the charming Miss Stevens, her head Bank upon his shoulder and the book of engravings fell neglected to the floor. "Samuel, she said an hour later, as she toyed with the button of his coat, "you bold boy! How on earth did you ever muster courage to ask me to become your wife? You know well enough 1 never gave you a particle of encouragement." The young man patted her condescendingly, on the head, and then said proudly with the voice of an Ajax defying the Pghtning: "When 1 make up my mind to do ' anything, Sfiina, uo obstacle on earth : can stop rne."

This was the last Sunday before conference and all were heard expressing themselves in favor of his returning for another year. At the close of the service he gave a short report of the moneys raised since he was sent here and many were amazed when they heard that it had been over $3,000. Not only has the church building and parsonage been been improved but the people have been built up in faith and spiritua lity His pastorate has been a success. While there will not be preaching next Sunday there will be the other services as usual. Class meeting and Sunday school at the usual hours. Come to the class meeting at the first ringing of the bell and then there will be time to attend the preaching service at the Congregational church then Sunday school. Help keep up these services.

In tbe matter of description th? enemy had the advantage, alight as it was. "Third road—cockeyed barn—iron cow," and the confused jumble of drunken letters and figures that Henry bad written—I could make nothing of these. "From B—follow 1¼ m. Take third road—3 or 5"—this was at least half-intelligible Then it came to me like a b l o w - was thi« the mysterious key" that the Unknown had demanded of me in her letter of this morning? I was roused from my reverie of fears by confused shouts from down the hail, and sprang hastily to the door, with the thought that the forces of the enemy were upon us. "Here he is! they've found him,'' cried an excited voice. "Yes, air! here he comes!" It was truly the stalwart guard; but two days had made a sad change in 'him. With head bound in a bloody rag} and face of a waxy yellow hue, he staggered limply out of one of the rear toons between Corson and Owens. Barkhouse was soon propped up en the lounge>ta the guardroom, and wiU a few sip* of whisky and a fresh band age*began to look like a more hopeful' case. "Now we must get ont of here," 1 said. "Take turns by twos in helping Barkhouse. We had better not risk staying here." "Right," said Corson; "and now we'H just take these throe beauties along to the station." The men swore at this, but as their hands were bound behind them, and Corjotu.walked with his clnh in one hand .ajsi hte pistol la the other* they tod? tftfthl tnardh^at ctomi-hand and U s rest of ut slowly followed. CHAPTER XXVIIl. The Chase, in.the »torm. When we reaebed the entrance £Oj our quarters on Montgomery street [he j*aln^'hnd oueejiupje begun tu fall, gentry j fowl - but thfcj gusts uf damp wind Sktua 'the soutib promised more and worse to follow. "A message for you, Air Wiltonfsaid a voice suddenly from the recess uf the doorway. "(Jive it to me," 1 said. A slip of ,paper was thrust into my. hand, and I passed up the stairs. "I'll wait for you," said the messenger, and at the first gas jet that burned at the head ot the stairs 1 stupped to read the address... It was in the hand of the Unknown, and my fatigue and indifference were gone In a moment. 1 trembled ad i tore open the envelope and read: "Follow the bearer or this note at 12:30. Come alone and armed- It is important." There was no( signature. If it meant anything it meant that I w«&,to meet the l)afcn.ywa, and perhaps to search the heart of the mystery, I had been heavy with fatigue and drowey with want of sleep, but'at this* thought tbe energies of life were once more fresh within me. The men bad waited a minute for irie as i read the note. "Go to your room* and get some, rest, "I said. "J am called away. Trent will be in charge, and I will send word to him if I weed any of you." They looked at me in blank protest. "You're not going alone, sir'.'" cried Owens in a tone of alarm. * "Oh, no. But I shall not need a guard.'* I hoped heartily that I did not. \ The meii shook their heads doubtfully, and I continued: "Corson will be down from the Central station in 15 or 20 minutes. .Hist tell him I've been sent for and to come to-morrow if he can make It in his way." And bidding them good night I ran hastily down the stairs before any of the men could frame his protest into words. "Are you ready, sir?" asked the-meg' senger. "it is close on half-past twelve," I answered. "Where is she?" "It's not far away," said my guide evasively. ( understood the danger of speech and did not press tor an answer. We plunge' down Montgomery street in the teeth of- the wind' that dashed the spray In our faces at one moment, lulled an instant the better to deceive'the unwary and then leaped at us from behind corners with the im: petuous rush of some great animal that turned to vapor as it reached us. The street was dark except for the newspaper offices, which glowed bright with lights on both sides of the way, busy with the only signs of life ihat the storm and the midnight hour had left. With the lighted buildings behind us we turned down California street. Half-way down (he block, in front of the Merchants' Exchange, stood a hack. At the sight my heart beat fast and my breath came quick. As we neared the hack my guide gave a short, suppressed whistle, and passing before me. flung open the door to the vehicle and motioned me to enter. I had gone too far to retreat and stepped into the hack. Instead of following, the guide closed the door gently; I heard him mount the seat with the driver, and in a moment we were in motion. Was I alone? I had expected to find the Unknown, but the dark Interior gave no sign of a companion. A slight movement made me certain that some one sat in the father corner of the carriage. The situation became a little embarrassing. Was it my place to speak first? I wondered. At last I could endure the silence no longer. "Quite an unpleagaat evening," I remarked politely. There was a rustle of movement, the sound of a short gasp, and a soft, mournful voice broke on my ear. "Mr. Dudley—can you forgive me?' The astonishment f felt to hear my own name once more—the name that seemed now to belong to a former state of existence—was swallowed np as the magnetic tones carried theft* revelation to my mind. I was stricken dumb for a moment at the discovery they had bronffht. Then I gasped: "Mrs. Knapp!" "Yes. Mrs. Knapp," she said with a mournful laugh. '"Did you never suspect?" I was lost in wonder and confusion, and even yet could not understand. "What brings you , out In this stonrt^* t asked, jcompletely myatifled. "I though! I was to meet another per* son *" ".indeed?" said Mrs. Knapp, with a spark of animation. "Well, 1 am the other persotr." "Yon!" 1 exclaimed af last. . " A f you the protector of the boy? The rmploypr—•" Then T stopped, the tangle in mind beginning to straighten out. "I am she," said Mrs. Knapp gently. "Therf," I crfed, "who Is he* what is he"1 what Is the whole dreadful affair about? and what—" , < ftrs.. Knapp interrupted me. " F i s t tell me what bag Lieooiue of Henry WUtlnV" she said with sorrow in her voice. The dreadful scene in the alley flashed before tny mind. "He is dead." "Dead! And how?' "Murdered." "1 feared so—I was certain, or he would have let me know. You have much to tell me. But first, did he leave no papers iu your hands?" 1 brought out the slip that bore the blind diagram and the blinder description that accompanied it. Nothing could be made of it in the darkness, so 1 described it as well as I con Id. "We are on the right: track." bald Mrs. Knapp. "Oh, why didn't I have that yesterday? But here we are at the wharf." My guide was before us, and we followed him down the pier, struggling against the .gusts. "Do we cross the bay?" 1 asked, as Mrs. Knapp clung to my arm. "It's not safe for yub in a small boat." "There's a. tug waiting for us," Mrs. Knapp explained. A moment later we saw its lights, and the fire of its engine room shot a cheerful glow into the storm. The MtHe vessel swung uneasily at its berth as We made our way aboard, and with shouts of men and clang of bells it was soon tossing on the dark Waters of the bay. The cabin of the tug was fitted with a shelf-table, and over it swung a lamp of brass that gave a dim light to the little room. Mrs. Knapp seated warn5AHF.\Wlt>p.A->*rA':r. ?.vtf^^.yur herself here, spread out the paper 1 had given her and studied the diagram and the Jumble of letters with anxious attention. "It ia the same," she said at last; "in part, at least." "The same as what?" I asked. "As the one I got word of to-night, you know," stare replied. "But," she continued, this gives a different place. I was to go to the cross-road here"—Indicating the mark at the last branch. "I'm glad to hear that,"' said I. taking out the diagram I had found in the citadel of the enemy. "This seems to point to a different place, too, and I really hope that the gentleman who drew this map is a good way off from the truth." "Where did you get this?" exclaimed Mrs. Knapp. I described the circumstances in as few words as I could command. "They are ahead of us." she said in alarm. "They have started first. I suppose," was my suggestion. And they have the right road." "Then our only hope is that they may not know the right place." "God grant it," said Mrs. Knapp. She was silent for a few minutes, and I saw that her eyes were filled with tears*. Then she said. "Now tell me about Henry Wilton—how he died and when." I told the tale as it had happened. and as I told it I read in the face hefore me the varying emotions of alarm, horror and grief ^hat were stirred by Its incidents.. . But one thing I could not tell her. The wolf-face I had seen in the lantern flash in the alley 1 could not name nor describe to the wife of Doddridge Knapp. Mrs. Knapp bowed her heart in deep, gloomy thought. "I feareft it, yet he would not listen fro my Vaxnrags',** she murmured. 'He would work his own way." Then she looked me stuiiienly straight in the face. "And why did you take his place, his name? Why did you try ro do his work when you had seen the dreadful end to which it had brought him*" I confessed that it was half through the insistence of Detective Coognn that I was Henry Wilton, hMf through the course of events that seemed" to make it the easiest roar! to reach the vengeance that I had vowed to bring the murderer of my friend. 'You are bent on avenging him?" asked Mrs. Knapp thoughtfullv "1 have promised it. ' "I have marveled at you," *aid Mrs. Kraip after; a^ pause. "1 marvel a t you y*t- Yptl have, carried off your part fetrjir • .

"You certainly succeeded in concealing any surprise you rnay have felt," I said. "You are a belter actor than I." Mrs. Kuapp smiled. "It was more than surprise--It was consternation," she said. "1 had been anxious at receiving no word from Henry. I suppose you got my uotea. And when 1 .saw you I was torn with doubts, wondering whether anythiug had happened to Henry." "1 didn't suppose r was quite so poor an liuposter," I said apologetically, with a qualm at the word. "Though J did get some hint of It," I added, with a painful recollection of the candid statement of opinion I had received from the daughter of the bouse. "Oh, you did very well," said Mrs. Knapp kindty. "but no one could have been successful in that house. Luella was quite, outraged over It, but I managed to rp*h&t her." "I hop*» Miss Knepp has not retained the unfavorable impressions of —er-L" I stammered in much confusion. Mrs. Knapp gave me a keen glance. "You kuow she has not," ahe said. "Well," continued Mrs. Knapp, "when i saw you and guessed that j something had happened to Henry '• Wilton, and found that you knew little I of what wa.; going on, I changed the plan of campaign. I did uot know that you were one to 'be trusted, but, I saw that you. could he. used to keep the ; others ou a false scent, for you decelved everybody but us."' j "1 would have* spoken when I found you for what you are," said Mrs. Knalip. "but T thought until the Livermore trip that you could serve me best as you were doing." "It was blind work."-1 said. "It was blind enough for you, not fQr me. I ,v\as deceived in one thing, however; I thought that you had no papers—nothing from Henry that could help or hurt. The first night you came to us I had Henry's room thoroughly searched." "Oh, I was indebted to you for that attention," I exclaimed. "I gave our friends of the other house the credit." Mrs. Knapp smiled again. "J. thought it necessary, it was the : chance that you did not sleep there j that night that kept thi-» paper out of my hands weeks ago" . [ '•I have always kept it with me," f | said. i (TU RK C O N ' T I N t ' K P . ) SEEN AT CARTHAGE M U S E U M . ! Fine Specimens of Sarcophagi Were i Found by Rev. P. Deliattre. j Among the most receol finds which j have been made at Carthage by the Rev. P. Delattre are a number of | sarcophagi which present a great interest. In many of these, says the j Scientific American, the top cover is \ sculptured in relief with a figure of life size, carved out of marble and painted In many colors. One very fine specimen was found in the necropolis at a depth of 27* feet. On the cover is a figure of a woman executed in the Greek style, with a long garment reaching the ankles and a veil covering the head. Great technical skill is shown in treating the different tissues. The flesh parts are well polished, and the eyes are painted, giving a lifelike aspect. The hair is glMed. Inside tho sarcophagus were found the remains of the person, with some bronze objects. A second sarcophagus was that of a person supposed to he a priest. The sculptured figure has abundant hair and a curling beard. It wears a long robe with short sleeve. Here also the eyes are painted, and are very expressive. Among the remains are a massive sold ring with a portrait similar to the above, also three other gold rings, amulets, etc. One of the most recent finds w3a a sarcophagus with the sculptured figure of a woman wearing a long tunic of fine wool of a pinkish hue. with a gilded belt passing under the breast. The lower part of the body is enveloped in what appears to be two great vnltures' wings, according to the Egyptian style. The whole figure bears traces of painting and gilding. As to the remains, they are imbedded in a resinous matter, as is often seen. M. Delattre examined the specimens carefully to observe the painting before they came np to daylight, as the colors faded almost at once, and he found the color and gildins; to lie quite brilliant both on the figures and on the moldings of the sarcophr.gi. These specimens form an important addition ro the Carthage museum. Nigbt Sweats fr Couoii E. W. Walton, Condr. S. P.

It is impossible for any woman to understand how a man can have so much m o n e y that he doesn't know what to do with i t In cold weather some people think a cup of hot coffee good to help keep warm. So it is—for a short time but the drug—caffeine—acts on the heart to weaken the circulation and the reaction Is to cause more chilliness. There is a hor wholesome drink which a Dak. girl found after a time, makes the blood warm and the heart strong. She says: "Having lived for five years In N. Dak., I have used considerable coffee owing to the cold climate. As a result I had a dull headache regularly, suffered from indigestion, and had no 'life' In me.

AN INSECT TRAGEDY. T h e Nest the Mother Butterfly Builds For Her Young. There is s o m e t h i n g really p a t h e t i c in the way a m o t h e r butterfly builds a nest for her children. In t h e first place, the little h o m e w h e r e t h e eggs a r e deposited r e p r e s e n t s a g r e a t deal of sacrifice, for it is lined with several l a y e r s of d o w n plucked from t h e m o t h •r*8 own soft body. T h e eggs h a v i n g been laid carefully npon t h i s luxurious, p r e t t y couch, a r e protected by an equally pretty coverlet m a d e of the eanie material. These butterfly bedclothes a r e often a r r a n g e d w i t h a n Intricacy t h a t to quite curious a n d perplexing. Sometimes a bed 1B m a d e so t h a t each s e p a r a t e delic a t e hair s t a n d s upright, t h u s giving t h e entire nest the a p p e a r a n c e of a lit tie brush of d o w n y fur. T h e n ngain t h e eggs a r e laid spirally round a tiny branch, and, us the covering follows their course, the effect r e s e m b l e s the bushy tail of a fox, only the nest is more beautiful t h a n t h e brush of the finest fox t h n t ever roamed over country. T h e building of this d o w n y n e s t la the latest earthly labor of the m o t h e r butterfly, for by the time It Is completed her own delicate body Is denuded of Its n a t u r a l covering and there Is n o t h i n g laft for her to do but die, a sacrifice which she promptly and heroically m a k e s In the Interest of t h e coming butterfly generation.

T h e stale smell of cigar s m o k e is 1 peculiarly u n p l e a s a n t and peculiarly dillicult to get rid of. It clings to the c u r t a i n s and to most of the articles of furniture which present any sort of an absorbent surface. It ia not so to t h e s a m e extent with cigarettes or with pipes. In Hie case even of a single i cigar books, papers and textiles rook > of its stale llavor, ami the room requires a b u n d a n t airing before t h a t 11a- j vor is completely eliminated. This ef- j feet, we a r e told, may be traced to t h e j ; fact that a cigar produces pungent a r o m a t i c oils in greater' a b u n d a n c e j t h a n ii cigarette or a pipe. W i t h the I cigarette oils are probably b u r n t even If they a r e formed, while in t h e pipe they condense in the stem. In t h e cigar tiiey seem to bo chiefly discarded into the air.

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

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

On* day, in plain sight of their nrmirn Thn iram Tidwhlnc them fro» the aeigjits abov«L.,the Kates brodtfut a number of lar§er calabashes filled with a poisonous'illiquid and placed them in a row ia^ip&e^of tfee gardens'. Then they went through the form of pretending to wash their faces with the Vtult, after which ,they left the calabashea in the gardens and departed. Watching their opportunity, the baboons came down to investigate the business and. being unable to restrain their hereditary Impulse to imitate the proceedings nf others, they forthwith washed their faces in the poison and scampered away again. la a short time the venom began to work, the flesh fell from their faces, and finally a number of them died In great agony. For many days afterwards 'travelers through tbd \Uoof reported a^n extraordinary state of affairs. There waa much excitement and jabbering and much pitiful crying and calling to each other from cliff to cliff. But when the fcertod of mourning was over the baboons .aottted down to business —the business of war. The preparations they thade for hostilities with the Kafirs were astonishing. Baboons were summoned from far and near, and the population in the kloof was soon doubled. They divided themselves into companies under leaders. They worked like heavers, and before long huge cairns of stones appeared at intertal* along the route, and at places Where the crass rose almost, perpendicularly from the roadway Krcat bowlders were rolled to the edge of the precipices, and even ledges conducted a small store for the at commodation of* travelers. On the day the baboons were poisoned. Max was riding ihrough the kloof, and came arrows a little boy buboou, whose face was terribly burned by* the action of the acid. The little fellow was crying piteously, and Max took him up in his arms and carried him to the store, where Max'a mother, who had some knowledge of remedies, doctored him so successfully that his eyesight was saved. For several mouths her curious little patient was very shy and wild, but the good woman waa indefatigable in her efforts to tame him. and finally she waa rewarded with astonishing succeaa. As the young baboon gxew up he became ver> much attached to his benefactress, and there was no mistaking his gratitude. But one morning, to the great surprise of Mother Pincua, a young lady baboon came down from the hills and began to make love to Stoffel. Nearly a week passed before she Anally triumphed and led him away. The following morning, however, he returned, and after watching him ior a day or two, Mother Plncus concluded that considerable business waa mixed up with his !ove affair. Indeed, the Boers, who relate almost incredible but the roadway Deaeath them had been undermined, and when enormous bowlders, falling" hundreds of feet through the air, smashed through the thin crust, great pits were laid bare, j into which the Kafirs floundered, and j were then mercileaaly pelted with ! fusillades of sharp.pointed rocks Hut i thn real fighting occurred when the Kafirs, tilled with diauay at the ! carnage thai ensued in the pits, endeavored to retreat. On the following morning a very pathetic sequel to the battle occurred when Stoffel, grievously wounded; dragged himself back to his old home at the siore. It waa a painful and useless journey, for the buildings had been burned to the ground and nothing remained but the smoulderlug embers. Hut Stoffel had come home for a definite purpose. He at once began to scrape and dig among the ruina until he succeeded in finding a few rags asd a small bottle containing sum* liquWL Tenderly he ataachod the flow of blood with the rags and emptied some of the fluid into the wound. Feeljng up bettter from the application, he sought othar. rags and another bottle. His faith in the remedy was supceme. > la this way his eyes had been cured, and in many other cases he had vitnee*«d the aucceaeftri application of rags and bottles. But, growing weaker and weaker, hi* thoughts naturally turned to his kind foster-imother. Despairingly. he glanced from side to side. Many a time he had watched for her homecomiug. Then ie tucked his pitiful face under his forearm and curled himself up, just like a dog going to sleep. Looking down upon him you could have counted the almost imperceptible heart beats under tho gray, shaggy covering—one, two. three—and then Stgffe?, the hero of Petticoat pass, was dead.

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

When the smoke had cleared the space was vacant, the fence was tu splinters, and the grass was scorched.

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

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

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

"I did not need It till Sunday," continued Mrs. Knapp. "I have been worried much at the situation of the boy, bi;:- I did not dare go near him. Henry and I decided that his hiding place was not safe. We had talked of moving him a few days before you came. When I found that Henry had disappeared I was anxious to make the trifling*, but I could not, venture to at- L.rnpt. it until the others were out nf town, for I knew I was watched. Theu I was assured from Mother Borton that they did not know where the boy was hidden, and I let the matter rest. Rut a few days ago—on Saturday— ahr sent me word that she though**; they had found the place. Then it t i m e to m * to. send you to LJvermore w ith the other boy—oh, 1 hope no "uarm came to the little fellow," she ovclaimed anxiously. "He's safe in my rooms in charge of Wainwright," I said. "He got backon the morning train, and can be had for the asking." "Oh, I'm so glad," said Mrs. Knapp. "1 was afraid something would happen ,to him, but. I hud to take desperate chances. Well, you see my plan succeeded. They all followed you. Hut when I went to the billing place < the boy was gorie. Henry had moved I him weeks ago, and had died before i he could tell me. Then 1-thought yon' might know more than you hud told me—that. Henry Wilton might have get yon to help him when he 'marie tlm ' change*, a/jd I wrote to you." j "And the key," I said, remembering ) the Pttpresslot* of t h r note. "JJid you | mean,.pM* diagram?"; . .«,• ,' "No, "sAld. Mrs. Knapp, "1 meant'.the key iu our cipher code. I was looking over Henry's letters for some hint of a hiding >>**&'€ u n ? could not ttnd the Way lu ibff; cipher. \ I thought yuu nilgai aavtf been felfua one. 1 found mine this afternoon, though, and there WHS no uttttl o{ it, au ii didn't m a n o r ' after all." ,,- . . .,,, The pitching ami totting or the boat had ceased. Aud, a minute later, with clang of bells and groan of eugiue we were at the wharf and were helped ashore. "Tell the captain to wait here lor ua wjth fire* up," wild Mrs. Knapp. "The ; carrlage should be somewhere ar/juud here," she continued, peering anxiously about as we reached the foot of the wharf. "This way," said a familiar voice, and a man stepped from the shadow. "Dicky Nahl!" I exclaimed. "Mr. WHtuu!" mimicked Dicky, "But It's just as well not to speak so loud. Here you are. I put the hack's lights out just to escape unpleasaut remark. ' Mrs. Kuapp entered the carriage and called to w e to follow her. I remembered Mother Burton's warn lugs and my doubts of Dicky Nahl. "You're certain you k&ow where you are going?" 1 asked him in an uudertone. "No, I'm not," said Dicky frankly. "I've fouud a man who says he kuows. We ar« to meet him. We'll get there between 3 and 4 o'clock. He won't say another word to anybody but her or you. 1 guess he knows what he is about." "Well, keep your eyes open. Meeker's gang is ahead of us. Is the driver reliable;" "Right as a judge," said Dicky cheerfully. "Now, if you'll get in with ruadame we won't be wasting time here." I stepped into the carriage. Dicky Nahl closed the door softly and climbed on the seat by the driver, and in a moment we were rolling up Broadway in the gloomy stillness of the early morning hour. CHAPTER X X I X . The Heart of the Mystery. I was in tlie shadow of the mystery. A hundred questions rose to my lips; but behind them all frowned the grim wolf-visage of Doddridge Knapp, and I could not find'the courage that could make me speak to them. "Mrs. Knapp," 1 said, '[you have called me by my name. I had^almost forgotten that I had ever borne it. I have lived more in the last month than In the 25 years that I remember before it, and 1 have almost come to think that the old name belongs to some one else. May I ask how you got hold of it?" "It. was simple enough. Henry had told me about you. i remembered that you were coming from the same town he had come from. 1 telegraphed to an agent in Boston. He went up to your place, made his Inquiries and telegraphed me, 1 suppose you will be pleased to know," she. continued with a droll affection of malice in her voice, "that, he mailed mo your full history as gathered from the town pn#np. It is at the house now." "1 tried to get something out of concerning you," conpp, "I even went so far as to see her once." "I don't think you got any more out of her than she wanted to tell." "Indeed I did not. I was afraid Mr. Richmond had not gone about, it. the ri#fht. way. You know Mr. Richmond aeted as my agent with h e r ? " "No, I didn't know. She was as close-mouthed with me as with you, I think." "Well, I saw her. 1 wanted to get what Information she had of you and of Henry." "She had a good deal of it, If she wanted to give it tip." "So I suppose. But she was too clever for me. She spoke well of you, but not a word could I get from her about Henry. Yet she gave me the idea that she knew much." "I should think she might. I had told her the whole story." "She is used to keeping secrets, I suppose," replied Mrs. Knapp. "But I must reward her well for what she has done." "She is beyond fear or reward." "Dead?" cried Mrs. Knapp In a shocked voice. "And how?" "She died, I fear, because she befriended me." And then I told her the story of Mother Borton's end. "Poor creature!" said Mrs. Knapp sadly. "Yet perhaps it is better so. She has died in doing a good act." The carriage had been rolling along swiftly. Despite the rain the streets were smooth and hard, and we made rapid progress. We had crossed a bridge, and with many turns made a course toward the southeast. Now the ground became softer, and progress was i-low. An interminable array of trees lined tlie way on both sides, and to my impatient imagination .stretched for miles before us. Then the road became better, the horses trotted briskly forward again, their hoofs patlevin* dully on the soi\'e:iod ground. "All the "better." I thought. "It's as good as a muffler ii any one 1? listening for us." Mother Jterton c tinued Mrs. Knai "Here's the place," came the voice of Dicky, giving direction to the driver; and the carriage slackened pate and stopped, ljooklng out i saw that we were at a division uf the road wnere a. i w u - ^ 1 7 itoiLpo fuixxl both of the branching ways. "You'd better come out," said Dicky at the door, u.ddie«u»lus his remark to an*, "'lie niiK to meet mt here." "Be careful," cautioned Mrs. Knapp. 1 kept my hand on Hie revolver thai lay in my overcoat pocket, and walked wlta Dicky on to the porch It was a common roadside saloon, and at this hour it appeared wholly desorted, liven the dog, without which I knew uo roadside saloon could exist, was as silent as its owners. "Here's ?. go!" said Dicky. "He was to meet us, sure. What lime have you sot?" 1 struck a match in a corner and looked at my watch by its Hare. "Five minutes to three," "Whew!" he whispered, "we're regularly done. I thought he had a bad eye when I was bargaining with him." 1 wondered if Dicky had a hand in the trick, if trick it should prove to be. "Well," said Dicky dubiously, "I think I know where the fellow would have taken us. I trailed him this afternoon, and I'll lay two to one that I can pick out the right road." "is this the third road from Brooklyn?" I asked, pointing to the track that led to the left. "I reckon so," said Dicky. "I haven't kept count, but I recollect only two before it." "All right. Up with you t h e n ! " Dicky obediently mounted to the seat beside the driver. "I shall ride outside," I said to Mrs. Knapp. "I may be needed." Half a mile farther we passed a house, and within a quarter Li a mile another. "We are on the right road," was my thought as I compared these in my mind with the crosses on the diagram. ",v ~/CAV <:J^w './:^'-. • :VAX.' 1--'.'.''<;? '.'f.Tf About half a mile farther a small cluster of buildings loomed up, dark and obscure, by the roadside. "This is the place," I said confidently, motioning the driver to pull up. 1 remembered that Henry Wilton's map had stopped at the third cross from the parting of the roads. "No, it isn't," said Dicky eagerly. "It's two or three miles farther on. I trailed the fellow myself to the next house, and that's a good two miles at least." I had leaped to the ground, and opened the door of the carriage. "We are at the fourth place," I said. "And the cockeyed barn?" inquired Mrs. Knapp, peering out. I was struck silent, by this, and looked blankly at the dark forbidding structure that fronted on the road. "You're right," said Mrs. Knapp with a laugh. "Can't you make out that funny little window at the end there?" I looked more closely at the building. In the dim light of the stars the coat, of whitewash that covered it made it possible to trace the outlines of a window in the gable that fronted the road. Some freak of the builder had turned it a quarter of the way around, giving it a comical suggestion of a man with a droop to his eye. "And the iron cow?" I asked. "Stupid! a pump, of course," replied Mrs. Knapp, with another laugh. "Now see if there is a lane here by the barn." A narrow roadway lust, wide enough for a single wagon joined the main road at the corner of the building. "Then drive up it quietly," was Mrs. Knapp's direction. .lust beyond the barn I made out the figure of the pump in a conspicuous place by the roadside and felt more confident that we were on the right road. The driver swore in an undertone as the hack lurched and groaned it; a boggy series of ruts, arid a branch whipped him in the face. I was forced to give a grunt myself, as another slapped my sore arm and sent a sharp twinge of pain shooting from the wound till it. tingled In my toes. Diek\, protected between us, chuckled softly. 1 reflected savagely that nothing spoilt a man 50/ Tjampany ilk* *.'mistaken sen'se of bMmof.- Suddenly the ' horses stopped uo shpjt "tllWi we Wfrlte jflmoBt pitched out.

"Well, then, " she replied, "when we get through, take the r«>a«l ro the left. That will bring us to (lie house." ' You are certain ?" "ThaL u? what Henry wrote in the cipher beneath the map. The house must be only a few hundred yards away." The bars were there, and 1 lifted the wet and soggy boards with an anxious heart. Were- we, after all, so near the hiding- place? Aud what were we to find? On a sudden turn Hie house loomed up before us and a wild clamor of dogs broke the stillness of the night. »'I hope they are tieti," I said, with a 1 oor attempt to conceal my misgivings. "Wrell have a lively time iu a quarter of a minute if they aren't," laughed Dicky, as he followed me. But the baying and barking came no rearer, and I helped Mrs. Kuapp out of the carriage. She looked at the houso closely. "This la the place," she said, in an unmistakable tone of decision. "We must be quitrk. I wish something would quiet those dogs; they will bring the whole country out." It seemed an hour before we could raise any one, but it may not have been three minutes before a voice came from behind the door. "Who's there?" "It is L. M. K.," said Mrs. Knapp; then she added three words of gibberish that I took to be the passwords used to identify the friends of the boy. At the words there was the sound of belts shooting back and the heavy door opened enough to admit MS. As .we passed in, it was closed once more and the bolts shot home. Before us stood a short, heavy-set man, holding a caudle. His face, which was stamped with much of the bulldog look in it. was smooth shaven except for a bristling brown mustache. He looked inquiringly at us. "is he here—the boy?" cried Mrs, Knapp, her voice choked with anxiety." "Yes." said the man. "Do wo move again?" "At once," said Mrs. Knapp, in her tone of decision. "It will take ten minutes to get ready," said the man. "Come this way." I was left standing alone by the door in the darkness, with a burden lifted from my mind. We had come in time. The single slip of paper left by Henry Wilton had been the means, through a strange combination of events, to point the way to the unknown hiding place of the boy. In a tew minutes the wavering light of the candle reappeared. Mrs. Knapp was carrying'a bundle that I took to be the boy, and the man brought a valise and a blanket. "It's all right," said Mrs. Kanpp. "No—1 can carry him—1 want to carry him." The man opened the door, then closed and locked it as I helped Mrs,. Knapp into the carriage. "Have you got him safe"" asked Dicky incredulously. "Well, I'll have to say that you know more than 1 thought you did." And the relief and satisfaction in his tone were so evident that. 1 gladly repented of my suspicions of the light-hearted Dicky. "Have you heard anything?" I asked him anxiously. "I thought I heard a yell over here through the woods. We had better get. out of here." "Don't wait a second," said the man. "The south road come3 over this other way. If you've heard anybody there, they will be here in five minutes. I'll follow you on a horse." With an injunction to haste, 1 stepped after Mrs. Knapp into the carriage, the door was shut, Dicky mounted the seat, and we rolled down the road on the return journey. (TO BE CONTINUKD.)

It came in t h e form of7A bwaueut in his will— $1,000 to the prettiest woman in the 'place, theojlidtfra AOL be ehoasu from t h e elderly manl»d flien or the com xn unity. ^ ' T h e hubbub was instantaneous, and of a nature to warm the heart of a cynic. Mothers sp*jke*ts»i$putjly of the charuiu of their daughter*. The mini s t e r s prepared sermqpj|, against the • i n of vanity thus taa~gra.ntly encoura g e d by the late Mr. Senna. The "beat people" signalized their Intention of •binding aloof from the contest. But a t last a reaction set in, started by someone's saving aenbe of humor, .and I t was almost unanimously decided t h a t the terms of the will must be complied with. An appointed committ e e fixed upon a day in June for the assembling of tho contestants. They w e r e to come in their best apparel, a n d t o abide by the vote of the judges "without murmurlnga or dlaputlnga." T h e content js/as^to b e .held out ot doors, in the sunny garden of one of" t h e xranflees of 'the town, that ths searching, light of day might add to1 t h e nrdpartislrty of the decision. The>* affair was thus turned into a lawri1 party, and, the first families agreeing t o be present, the rest of the town followed suit. A week before the day appointed, Richard Gordon; a young' lawyer-, went to call upon Mary Ltennett, whose father before his invalidism Had been a professor in tljje college town from Which Qorjiap's * famfly also came. Richard, waiting for Mary in tlje dim parlor/, with i1ts: steel1 engravings of famous pictures, felt that the girl's Iff** was somehow like them? beautiful In line and form, but lacking the color that selfishness, rather than selfdenial, seems to impart to human ex- \ Jslence. She had always sacrificed herself to the demands and needs of others, until she was like a white flower brought out of the sunshine to cheer a sick-room. -lie was absorbed ift his thoughts *of her when she entered, a welcome glowing in her eyes. Though she was tall and straight and wholesome <o look upon, no one had ever called her pretty. Her chief asset was her abundant dark hair. Richard had never thought of her being in the contest, so he did not even apologize when, after a few moments' conversation, he showed her a list he had made of I he women who, in his opinion, had t h e best chance of winning—a list from which her name was omitted. "1 see that you have headed it. with Itartha Klendenning. That is easy to understand." "Bur my grounds are different from most people's," he said, with the earnestness that he always brought to any subject which interested him. "\ifi blue eyes and yellow hair and story book complexion count very little. It's her lovely figure and her charm of manner—her more subtle advantages, so to speak—that make h e r what she is, .graceful and worn anly " "I quite agree with you. Who is next on the list?" "Kstherine More—it's the curve of h e r upper lip," he added, confidentially. 1 "And next?" "•Dora." "Because—?" ^He laughed. "It has something to do with the t i p of her nose." "f quite understand. Dora's nose •o-Hl keep her young when she's 50." "And then come the ladies who "have only to put on a pink ribbon to he called pretty. You see my scorn • f them places them last." "Poor things! Well, I think it will b e Bertha. You must tell me all about It afterwards!" "But, my dear, you're surely going!" h e said, earnestly, knttting his boyish brows. "I can't unless father Is better." "Oh, you must—it will amuse you so! I'll call for you to make sure!" "Well! T don't forbid your calling!" s h e answered, with a smile. She spent a troubled week, trying to come to terms with herself, in her dark moments she had perversely wished to make herself look as plain as possible, taking a kind of pride in beiijg utterly out of the running; but with the first, dawn of gentler feeling c a m e the desire to look her best, and to entfr into the spirit of the occasion. So when the time came she curled h e r , h a i r and arranged it with all the a r t t h a t she could command. She put o n A soft, white summer gown* and a picture hat With roses. She was her long gloves He seemed in ri-t when the drawing on Richard a highest spirits "1 was prepared to use f^orce, if I foupd y ° u backing out. I have some newd to tell you about myself- something that's made me very glad, atfd I want you io be glad with me." Her heart aaqk. Was he going to tell her of his engagement to Bertha? She turned a pale face to him. "Can't you guess, Mary?" But she was dumb. He leaned towards her and took both her hands in his. "I've got the position 1 wanted in the office with Jenkins & Bart—and it's a kind of partnership, Mary. It's easily worth five thousand a year." She drew a long breath of relief and looked at him with shining eyes. "I'm so glad—so glad!" "You can't be so glad as I, because, my dear—" he hesitated. Her sudden little flame of joy again sank. "You see I didn't want to speak until I was sure—" Even then she would not believe. She had turned her head away. Was it->JBfjrtfe»—oh, was It Bertha? "You see I've loved you always— why Mary—!" Then she turned a rapturous face toward him. How they reached the appointed place she never knew. She walked on air, surrounded by a ring of geld that inclosed one other .person. Her eyes "I and knew it when too late. Oaly those hopelessly out of the running seemed to be juully cujoying them- It was expected that the judges would D O t remain out long, but a halt hour went by, and they were still debatliyj In th>> little summer house to which they hud withdrawn. A feel lug of uneasiness oetiau to make ituell apparent, Be>t» were canceled, and re* arranged again. No one seemed as confident as ax the opening of the contest. At last.the judges were aeea to rise, and then, two by two, they came across the lawn, aud took their, places ou a flower decked platform. A sudden hush fell over the assembly. The chairman waited until everyone had cume within hearing distance o' the stand before making his announcement, then, after reading the clause in the will, he satd: ;;, "The'dlflBWs]U<rt4iUhe way of a fair decision caiHmiftlry. he, appreciated hy those not members of the conjmittee. In the making of it, in the Judging and weighings we crave your clemency. Having made it w,« are sure of your enthusiastic support. The prize has been awarded to Miss.Mary-Bennett." There was a confused murmur. Richard, more surprised than anyone, turned to look at Mary. It was true! It might be gone to-morrow, but today her radiant joy made her the most beautiful woman there. She seemed all light and color aud happiness, and they had felt it and recorded it. She would not believe it at flisi, and wanted to hurry away, but they detained her and showered congratulations ou her until she was glowing like a rose. Each moment enriched her, adding weight to the decision. "You were a dark horse," said a friend, at once puzzled and convinced. "Cupid was jockey," said Richard.

"Just slap down a sketch oC a drunken husband sitting in a wretched hovel of a home," requested the newspaper editor, hurrying into the apartment of the lazy cartoonist. The artist carelessly complied and sprawled back in his chair. "Don't you think it would till out better if you were, to sketch in a table and an empty whisky bottle?" inquired the editor, gazing intently at the hare figure.

Richard, excited and umphant, looked at her adoringly, seeing in her at once the woman of his future and the playmate of his childhood. They would show themselves at the contest for a minute, just to be public-spirited. Then they would go for a heavenly ramble in the woods. The Judges had decided 1O make the award after mingling informally with their towns-people, so there was no set ceremony, no drawlng-np of the contestants. People strolled about or talked together in groups, as at a garden party. Here and there a girl was seen whose heightened color betrayed her consciousness of being under scrutiny, for it was generally known that the courteous Judges, chatting casually with their friends and acquaintances, were all the while gleaning impressions which would be of service in making the decision. The occasion, on the whole, did not seem favorable to the setting forth of feminine charm. Even Bertha, by becoming self-conscious, had lost something* of her usual grace. Katherine's pretty how of a mouth showed a dispositionto straighten, and Dora's infantile nose failed to save tiie day for her. As for the young women whose charm de pended on pink ribbons, they had all apparently chosen the wrong colors. Tw«*ty Letters in His Name. Savaspana#iotopuvoh)—the name of a Chicago business man—was enrolled ou the city comptroller's records recently. The ownwr of the surname with 20 letters has a billiard room, and the name was disclosed when he called to pay $11.75 tor in specting the electric light wires in his place. No given name was asked for, Savaspanaglotopuvois was considered sufficient to distinguish him from any of the other 2.000,000 citizens of Chicago. It took nearly the width of an entire page in the ledger when written in an accountant's flowing hand. "The cost of collecting the city's licenses would be considerably increased if there were many names like that," declared an official.

The swordsmen of the sea are the eawlisher, speartishes, sailfishes, sword Ashes and the narwhal, with ita spiral ly twisted straight tusks. The sawfishes inhabit the warmer seas, while the narwhal is a creature of the arctic. The tusk of the narwhal is hollow ueaiiy to the point and is spirally grooved. It uses its tusk as a weapon of defense and to plunge through the ice to breathe, the narwhal being a cetacean. Sometimes when a boat has b«eu caught iu the ice great damage has been inflicted by the luquisitiveness or blundering of this great creature, that sometimes reaches a length of fifteen feet, with a tusk of from six to ten feet in length, As a rule, however, the narwhal uses its tusk for the purpose of killing fish for rood. In the castle of Rosenberg the kings of Denmark have long possessed a magnificent throne made of tusks of this cetacean. These tusks are harder and whiter than irory. ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

All cats a r e hunters, while foxes that are not thieves may be included also among t h e Mmrods. All canaries are prima donnas, and monkeys make clever comedians, but it is only the beaver parent that educates its children to take up several trades. In a single colony among them you will find civil and marine engineers, wood choppers, raftsmen, laborers, quarrymen, miners, plasterers, masons, carpenters, hodcarriers and fishermen. All beavers take contracts for building dams, but when the work Is undertaken the task is so divided that each member of the colony has its own particular work to look'after. In this way they make some wonderful excavations and construct their dams in an Incredibly short time. reported him.

"I had thought a little ah out that Thyself," I confessed. "But we are not yet. out of the woods, I am afraid." "Hark* what's that?" said Mrs. Knapp. apprehensively. • The carriage was now making Its way through the bad stretch in, the lane, and there was little noise in its progress. "I heard nothing," I said, putting down the window to listen, "What was it?" "I thought it was a shout." There was no noise but the steady splash of horses' hoofs in the mud and the sloppy, shearing sound of the wheels as they cut through tho wet soil. As we bumped and groaned again through the ruts, however, there arose in the distance behind us the flerc** barking of the dogs, their voice* in anger and alarm. There was a faint halloo, and a wilder harking followed. Then my car caught the splashing of galloping hoots behind, and in a moment, the man of the house rode beside us. "They've come," he said, "or, anyhow, somebody's come. 1 let the dog a loose and they will have a lively time for a while." A few yards more brought n< to the main road, and once on the firm ground the hortes trotted brtak!> "for- >ward. while the horseman dropped bo- - — • : — « * - r *"• • > •'"•"•" • •• •"•-.—• , • . < .

Then 1 thought 4 tyeard yells and,taint hoofbeats In the distance, but again there was silence except for the muffled noised we made in our progress. "Gn't we drive faster?" asked Mes. Knapp, when 1 made my report. "I wouldn't apoil these hor*es tor $500," growled the driver when I passed him the injunction to hasten. "It's $1,000 for yon if you get td the wharf ahead of the others," cried Mrs. Knapp. "And you'll have a bullet In your hide if you don't keep out of gunshot of them," I added. The double inducement to haste had Us effect, and we could feel the swifter motion of the vehicle under us, and see the more rapid passage of the trees and fences that lined the way. The wild ride appeared to last for ages. The fast trot of the horses was a funeral pace to the flight of my excited and anxious Imagination. What if we should be overtaken? At last the houses began to pass more frequently. Now the road was broken by cross streets. Gat lamps appeared, flicking faint and yellow in the mprning air. . We were once more within city limits. The panting horse* never slackened pace. We swept over a long bridge, and plunged down a shaded street, and the figure of the horseman was the only sign of life behind us. Of a sudden there sounded a long roll, as of a great drum beating the reveille for an army of giants. The horseman quickened his pace and galloped furiously beside us. "They're crossing the bridge," he shouted. "Whip up!" I cried to the driver. "They are only four blocks behind us.'" The hack swung around a few corners, and then baited. "Here we are!" cried Dicky Dahl at the door. "You get aboard the tug and push off, Jake and I will run up to the foot of the wharf. If they come, we can keep 'em off long enough for you to get aboard." The tug was where it lay when we left, and a,t m,y hall the captain and his crew of three were astir. It was a moment's work to get Mrs. Knapp and her charge aboard. "Come on!" I crlod to Dicky and his companion. And as the lines were cast off they made a running jump on to the deck of the tugboat and the vessel backed out into the stream. When the mist and darkness had blotted out shore, wharves and shipping, the tug moved at half-speed down the channel. I persuaded the captain that there was no need to sound the whistle, but he declined gruffly to increase his speed. "I might as well be shot as run my boat ashore," he growled, with a few seaman I ike adjectives. I did not know of any particular reason for arguing the question, so I joined Mrs. Knapp. "Thank God, we are safe!" she said, with a sigh of relief. "We shall be in tho city in half an hour, if thai is safely," I said. "It will he safety for a few days. Then we can devise a new plan. I havo a strong arm to loan on again." Returning to the deck I found that the light of the morning was growing. Vessels were moving. The whistles of the ferry boats, as they gave warning of their way through the mist. roRe shrill on the air. The waters were still, a faint ripple showing in strange contrast to the scene of last night. "There's a steamer behind us." said Dicky Dahl, with a worried look as I joined him. "I've been listening to it for five minutes." "It's a tug," said the captain. "She Was lying on the other side of the wharf last night." "Good heavens!" 1 cried. "Put on full steam, then, or we shall be run down In the bay. It's the gang we are trying to get away from." The captain looked at -me suspiciously for a moment, and was inclined to re*ant ,a>y interference. The* he shrugged his shoulders as though it was none of his business whether we were lunatics or not so long as we paid for the privilege, and rang the engine bell for full speed ahead We had just come out of the Oakland Creek channel and the mist suddenly thinned before us. It left the bay and the city fair and wholesome in the gray light, as though the storm had washed the grime and foulness from air and earth and renewed the freshness of life. We had come hut a few hundred yards into the clear air when out of the mist bmk behind ns shot another tug. At tho exclamation that broke from us cur captain for the first i imo showed interest in the speed of his bi~«a t and whistled angrily down to his en< ginger. "We can heat her," he said, with a contemptuous accent on the "her." "That's your business.'' I returned, and walked aft to where Mrs. Knapp was standing, halfway up the steps from the cabin. "Cau they catch xmT mqvirsd Mrs. Knapr Ihe lin?s tightening about her' moath. "I think n*t—-the capL-.io. says not. I should say that we were holding uur own now." Av this moment a t*U. maaaire fl*r\ ure stepped from, the pilot house of the pursuing tug and shook its gsts at as. The huge built, the woif-faee, ju*l distinguishable, distorted, dark with; rape and passion, stopped the blood and I felt a falntness as of dropping from a beigbt. "Doddridge Knapp!" 1 cried. Mm. Knapp looked at me in* alarm a a l grasped the rail. "No! no!" she exclaimed. "A thousand times no! That is EM jab Lane!" I gaged at her in wonder. Not Doddridge Knapp! Had my eyes played me Lilse? "Do you not understand?" she said in a low, intense tone. "He ia Klijab Lane, the father of the boy. An evil, wicked man—mad—^-truIy mad. He would kill the boy. He killed the mother of the boy. I know, hut it is not a case for proof—not a case that the law can touch.' Aud he bates the boy—and me!" "But wny does he want to kill him?" "You do not understand. The boy inherits a great fortune from his mother. Mr. Knapp and I are left trustee* by the mother's will. If he had control of the boy, the boy would die; but it would be from cruelty, disease, neglect. It would not be murder in the eye of the .law. But I know what would happen. Ob, see the wretch! How he hates me!" I was stunned with the words I had heard. They made much plain that had puzzled me, yet' they- left much more in darkness; and I looked blankly at the figure on the other tug. It was truly a strange sight. The man was beside himself with rage, shouting, gesticulating and leaping about the deck in transports of passion. He showed every mark of a maniac. Suddenly he drew a revolver and sent shot after shot in our direction. We were far beyond the reach of a pistol bullet, but Mrs. Knapp screamed aud dodged. "How he "hates me!" she cried again. When ihe last shot was gone from his revolver the man flung the weapon in frenzy, as though he could hope to strike us thus. Then a strange thing happened, whether due to the effort he had made in the throw, or to a lurch nf the tug in the waves we left, behind us, or to a stumble over some obstruction, I could not. say. Hut we saw the man suddenly pitch forward over the low bulwarks of the tug into the waters of the bay. Mrs. Knapp gave a scream and covered her eyes. "Stop the boat!" I shouted. "Back her!" The other t.ng had checked its headway at the same time, and there was a line of six or seven men along its side. 'There he is!" cried one. The captain laid our tug across the tidal stream that swept ns strongly toward Goat Island. Then he steamed slowly toward the other tug. "He's gone," said Dicky. The ether tug seemed anxious to keep away from us, as in distrust of our good intentions. I scanned the waters carefully, but the drowning man had gone down. Then, rising not 20 feet away, floating fo'. a moment on the surface of the water. I saw plainly for the first time, the very caricature of the face of Doddridge Knapp. The strong* wolfleatures which in the King of the Street were eloquent of power, intellect and sagacity, were here marked with the record of passion, hatred and evil Mfe. T marveled now that I had ever t-need a likeness between them. 'G've mo that hook"' I cried, leaning over the side or" the tug. "Go ah fid a little." On-"* of the m m threw a rope. It passed too far, and drifted swiftly behind. I :n"i.'e a wild reach with the hook, but it n.:s too short. Just as I thought I iTitmiV, succeed, the face gave a convulsive twitch, as iT in a parting outburst of bate and wrath, and the body sank out of sight. 1 stocd hatf-bcwildarci, with a bursting senfto.' of^ ^fwfief, *$7 «*!**.

The many-hilled city took on the hues of a fairy picture, and the windows gleamed with the magic fires that were Uayhcu back in greeting to the god of day. it seemed scarcely possible that this was the raging, tossing water we had crossed list uight. And the fiery scene oi passion and death we had just witnessed was so foreign to its calm beav.ties that i could believe it bad happened elsewhere in some dream of long ago. I was roused by the voice of Mrs. Knapp, who sat at the head of the cabin s'3'r* lodkiug absently over the water. "I have not dealt frankly with you," she said. "Perhaps it is better that you should know, as you know so much nli'ady. I feel that I may rely ] on your discretion." "1 think' I can Iceep a secret," I replied, concealing my curiosity. ..'/I should not tell you if I did not have full confidence." Then she was silent for a minute.

PRESCRIBED CUTICURA ICE HAD PRESERVED M A M M O T H . Remarkable Discovery Made in Froztn Siberian Bog. After Other Treatment Failed—Raw Eczema on Baby's Face Had Lasted Three Months—At Last Doctor Found Cure. Sixty-one years ago a young Russian engineer, Benkendorf, saw the River Lena in Siberia release a dead mammoth frozen ages ago in the bog. There had been exceptionally warm weather in the north of Siberia, and the river, swollen by melting snow and ice and torrential warm rains, swept out of its old channel and carved a new one, carrying to the sea vast quantities of its former banks and furrowing up the thawing bogs over which it raced. As he made his way in a steam cutter against the current Benkendorf saw the head of a mammoth appear above the flood. Rush upon rush of water more and more released the body. Its hind legs were still Imbedded when he saw it. but 24 hours liberated these. The mam moth had sunk, feet firs?, into a bof. The ooze had frozen over It; successive tides had heaped soil and vegetation upon it. Bone and flesh and hair were perfect. They secured it; they cut e l its tusks; they dissected it and found in its stomach the last meal it L had eaten, young shoots of the flr and pine and masticated flr cones. They were still at work when the ri^er. spreading farther, engulfed them. The men escaped, but the waters surged over the mammoth and carried It for ; carrion to the sea. "Our baby boy broke out with eczema on his face when one month old. One place on tho side of his face the size of a nickel was raw like beefsteak for three months, and he would cry out when 1 bathed the parts that were sore and broken out. I gave him three months' treatment from a good doctor, but at the end of that time the child was no better. Then my doctor recommended Cuticura. After using a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of A box of (Cuticura Ointment, and half a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was well and his face was as smooth as any baby's. He is now two years and a half old and no eczema has reappeared. Mrs M. L. Harris. Alton, Kan., May 14 and June 12, 1907." Violin as a Hair Resteer. It is now a scientifically proved fact that music exercises a great influence on the growth of the hair. U is with good reason that great musicians, euch as Paganini, Listz and Paderewski. are represented with a growth of hair which Absalom might have envied. Science has proved that stringed instruments have a favorable influence on the growth of the hair, while brass instruments act in the opposite direction.

As soon as t l u cool weather set in an oblong box was received from Switzerland and buried in Avondule cemetery. He was not notified of the burial by her spinster cousin, her only relative,- who gave as a reason that it would be better he should not be prese n t But us soon as he learned of the fact he went to the cemetery and stood uncovered by her grave, tears rolling down his cheeks. He had brought some plants to set out where their flowers the next sprlug would haug over her grave. Some one had been there before him on a similar errand. Flowers were strewn over the mound so fresh that they must have been cut but a few hours. He spoke of these flowers to her cousin and asked if she had placed them. She had not aud seemed surprised. He was troubled. It is singular t h a t we should be jealous In case of the dead. Every Sunday afternoon he went to the cemetery, and every time he found fresh flowers ou the grave. They must have been placed there In the morning. The next Sunday he went at dawn and waited and waited till 10 o'clock for this rival for the dead. At that hour a young girl came and strewed flowers on the grave. A great relief came to him. He advanced and addressed his fellow mourner. She had'bqsn a friend of his former fiancee. Every Sunday morning these two met at the grave of one for whom they had a common love. He grew to look forward to the meeting not so much as a melancholy event as a reunion with one who was filling the void in his heart, a void which, if filled at all, can be done only by a living person. But this girl of llosh and blood was from the first constrained, and her constraint | had grown on her. When they met her eyes would bright on; but, looking down on her friend's grave, she seemed moved by some inward emotion. When winter ctune their visits were omitted by mutual consent till the spring should come. Their meetings were not, as before, on Sunday mornings, but on Sunday afternoons, and were often prolonged until late in the evening. It was plensater to sit by a warm fireplace than stand out in the cold cemetery, where the winds shrieked through the leafless branches. n o besought her to marry him. Site refused. From the expression on her face his words seemed to have had the effect rather of clods falling on a coffin than of a great comfort. When the crocuses wore springing up she proposed that they go again to the cemetery. He sighed and consented, but at the appointed time he made excuses. She said, though with evident reluctance, that she would go alone, j So he went with her. On the way she ! was silent and melancholy. To see her | one would have thought she wnB going to her own funeral. He carried the flowers to the grave, while she stood at the gate of the inclosure. He had strewn them when, looking up, he saw a figure coming, down the roadway. Shading his oy«s with his hand to see more dlstinctlj", hr? staggered back against the iron rail. The woman over whose grave he had i strewn (lowers- his lost love- was j coming. | She advanced with a slow step, a se- ' rlous expression on her face. There I was nothing ghostly nl>out her. On the contrnrv, she was plainlv mortal. ' What astonished her betrothed m o s t , was that her friend appeared in no i way surprised at this return from the > dead to the quick. "This Is a wrong I have done you," ! said the returned one. "and I regret ' it, hut I laid the plan long ago and ps- ! solved that I would carry It out. When wo parted T be<?an n brooding i over your words that yon would "weep j over my grave." Then I became nos- \ sosv'vl "-:"> i dcsi"i> t."> !t\:r:i T!on" Trrng you WOK!I' Wi'cp for me or if you would be faithful to my memory. I gave out i that I was dead and caused an empty j box_ to be buried, here. More than j and never met again. How far the mortal heart reaches Into Immortality is one of the hidden secret* of Providence which it is dan gerous to attempt to solve. H E L E N V. W E E D .

The letter concludes with the statement that the Democratic party is m a k i n g "an honest and honorable" fight in defenae of its principles and policies, and expects and will demand honorable treatment from those who are in charge of the Republican campaign.*" Bryan Reproves President. Detroit, Mich.—The remarkable spectacle of a presidential candidate i ( bilking the chief executive of the nation for making statements deemed to be unjustified, was witnessed here v.hen William J. Rryan in a letter to President Roosevelt defended Gov. Haskell of Oklahoma, treasurer of the Democratic national committee, against the charge that he had unlawful connections with the Standard Oil -Compsny. Mr. Bryan serves notice on the president that as the candidate of the Democratic party "1 shall not pecmit any responsible member of the Republican organization to misrepresent the Democratic party in the present campaign." Washington.—President Roosevelt, following upon a prolonged conference witft member* of, the cabinet at tjbe White House, prepared and gave out his reply to William J. Bryan, the Democratic candidate, relative to W. R. Hearst's charges'that Gov. Haskell, treasurer of the Democratic campaign committee, had- represented Standard Oil interests both in Ohio and Okia homa. Mr. Bryan had demanded proof of the charges, promising that in the event of their a*fcst*mMation Gov. Haskell wou^s.l%*^ia«^D»f«d, from the c a m p a l f $ < i ^ , , - ^ . Dismta^ng J he.

Haskell's "utter unlith'ess for association with any man anxious to appeal to the American people on a moral issue, has been abundantly shown by other acts of his as governor of Oklahoma." The president condemns Gov. Haskell's conduct in connection with various matters ae disgraceful and scandalous, and calls special attention to what he describes as "prostituting to base purposes the state university." Haskell Makes Reply. Guthrie, Okla.—Gov. C. N, Haskell issued a statement In reply to PresidentRoosevelt's leHer to Wi 1 Ham .1. Bryan, dealing with four specific charges against Mr. Haskell, namely, that h« is subservient to Standard Oil, that he vetoed a child labor bill; that he dealt extensively in Creek Indian lands, and that he had allowed politics lo dominate him in the removal of members of the faculty of the state university and the appointment of others to succeed him. Gov. Haskell took up the four charges as dwelt upon by President Roosevelt in turn, dealing with each in a characteristic manner. Foraker's Hot Reply. Cincinnati.—Senator Foraker prepared a statement which was made puttie Friday, replying to. the recent charges made by William R. Hearst ancT"President. RjjosswlC :In addition he bitterly ass-ails •-Heanft, Taft and the president, charging Tal't. with con- ;sortiag wi|h Slamitrd Oil magnates hirB8e3f Sfco1 declaring that President Roosevelt's actions, in^eate-ft 'guilty conscience. In the opening paragraph Mr. Foraker declared that the president showed bias in accepting as true'all the charges. He denied that he acted improperly in accepting employment from the Standard Oil Company, said that there was no secret about, it and produced letters to prove that after the government, began its attack upon the; Standard Oil, he declined to accept a retainer from them. He charged that Mr. Hearst had other letters in addition to those which he gave out, and that these other leticrs, if made public at the same time, would have shown how harmless was his connection with the Standard people. Hearst Hits Foraker. fe Columbus, O. -Senator J. B. Foraker of Ohio was openly charged here by W. R Hearst with being an agent of ihe Standard Oil Company. Mr. Hearst said that after the oil octopus had been driven from the Republican party by President Roosevelt the Democratic party had welcomed the Standard with open afrr.r> and adopted it. Mr. Hearst read a series of letters from John D. Arcabold, the Standard Oil man, to Setjatfo* 'gbraker. In these communications'.

St. Louis.—William Randolph Hearst w w t after- Senator J- B. Fptakwi here stronger than in bis Columbus speech. Mr, Hearst fVat read a letter iu which it was said that a certificate of depoeit for (50,000 was inclosed. The letter purported to have been sent to Mr. Foraker and to have beeb signed by -le-hn D. Arcubold. Following this, Mr. Hearst read another letter said to have been signed by Mr. Arch bold, in which the Standard, Oil man suggested to Mr. Foraker action regarding a bill introduced in the United States senate by the late Senator Jones of Arkansas. The letters a r e aa follows: ai Broadway. N e w York, Jan. 27, 1302.— Dear Setuttor: ltespondiim- to' your .favor or the'£>th, it gives me pleasure to hand you herewith certificate of deposit for |C0,- OUtt in accordance w.Mh our understanding".

The second letter a* read by Mr. Hearst was as follows: -¾ Broadway, N e w York.

It really aeems, as if this bUI Is unnecessarily severe and e v e n vicious. Js it not much better to test the application of the Sherman act before resortin" to a msasure of this kind? I hope you w*l feel so about it and I will be greatly pleased to have a word from you on the subject. The bill ia. I bM.eve, still in committee. J. D. A R C H B O I J ) . J. li. Foruker. W a s h i n g t o n , D. C At Columbus Mr. Hearst read letters showing that Mr. Foraker re ceived checks from John D. Archbold for about $30,000. Mr. Foraker said he got the money, that he had worked for the Standard Oil Company, but tlrat h*s labors were not in the nature of influencing legislation. Comes Back Again at Haskell. Nol only did Mr. Hearst reply tc Senator , Foraker, but he devoted a portion of his speech to Gov. C. N. Haskell of Okie homa, treasurer o£ the Democratic national committee, whom he again charged with having served the Standard Oil Company, To the .uJDtonae of Mr. Haskell that another man of the came surname was Jnvolved,- Mr. Hearst replied with af tidavits alleged to have been made by former Attorney General Monnett of Ohio and Assistant Attorney General Bennett of that state, in which ihe name C. X. Haskell distinctly ap pears. Foraker Not Attorney of Record, Columbus, O.—United States Sena tor J. B. Foraker was not an attorney of record in any of the Standard Oil cases'tried in the Ohio courts, according to the Associated Press, which conducted an investigation. The first cases were filed in the attorney general's office in 1882 and were carried along through various courts for more than 20 years. According to the records in the attorney general's office, the attorneys of record in 1899 and 1900, the dates of the cases against the Standard and its sub sidiary companies, the attorneys who took part in the legal battles, were M. R. Keith, S. C. T. Dodd and Joseph H. Choate of New York and Virgil P. Kline of Cleveland, O. In a number, of the earlier cases only Keith and Kline were the attorneys of record, but. later on, when t h e fight became the thickest Choate and Dodd entered the case and their services were given to the company untU after the casf was carried to the highest courts. . Gen. DuPont Resigns.

AWFUL GRAVEL ATTACKS, , .. £ As a general thing, horsemen prefer to feed old oatd rather than new. This is not only true of oats, but of all kinds of grain as well. The reasdn for this is that new oats, as a rule, are not thoroughly dry, and consequently weigh more than the old grain, so that if they are purchased at the same price per bushel, the purchaser does not receive as much for his money. When fed to horses they are some what laxative in effect, and because of this have more or less ot a serious Influence on working horses. They also have a tendency to cause them to sweat freely. While this is true of oats every season, it is especially true this- year* aa the oata crop matured very rtowly, and even after the-crop was harvested, in many localities it was a very difficult matter to dry it properly. Where the crop has been threshed, the grain was frequently wet or damp, so that in many Instances It never was dry. Some farmers have been forced to use their new oats, on account of not having any old grain left over. But where both old and new oars are had, it is much better to mix and feed them together than to feed the old oats until they are all fed and then feed alto gethor from the new crop. WHAT IS PHOSPHATE? And Why It Is Needed Soils. in Many Phosphorus, or phosphate, r_8 it is commonly called, is one of the most essential elements of fertility. It is especially needed in formfng the seed of all grain. Rock phosphate is composed of the remains of ancient fish, collected in some unknown way ages ago. It is needed on our western soils, because our yield of grain, is constantly growing lighter. We must spend some thought and money to rebuild the elements of fertility ve have been taking' otiMor 60 year*~6r* *mdre, says Hoard's Dairyman. Aa" phosphate comes raw from the rock it is called ^floats" and should be used in manure, where if will be subject to heat and ferment in order t o ' m a k e it yield up its phosphorus to the soil. This difficulty is overcome by treating the rock with sulphuric acid, which free the phosphoric acid at once, the acid phosphate costs more. sets But FARM NOTES.

The stillness of the autumnal morning was gone. Hugles blew, the reveille gun was fired, soldiers turabjed out of barracks, officers dropped their t;a/ds or their. babies. The deserted parade was at once alive with men arid littered with fire buckets, with tyose carts and with ladders. ..The,, pecpnd lieutenants ,of pom- ,panU?s ,.E and F rushed , out ( of the colonel's house together.

"Where isi< she? Which is her room?" And as the flames' raged with an ever-increasing ferocity, the waiting crowd of soldiers felt the premonition of death in their hearts. Suddenly a cheer broke from some one in the burning building. They had found 'her! The hoarse, smokechoked cheer rati through the men on the stairway, s w e l l i n g loudef and louder, utitiT the outsiders caught It arid sent It back to the rescuers—a roar of applatfse for their bravery.

Then she gave a little shriek: "There's Baker! She wasn't in the fire at all!" and promptly fainted in the arms of both second lieutenants. At the same moment there was a lively scrambling in the woolen blankets. A second later, little Dorgan. the F company recruit, was sprinting across the parade as though the legions of Satan were after him. "Much obliged to E company!" he yelled as he ran.

The Porcelain 8eoret. The porcelain industry of Germany is comparatively young, says the Berlin Morgen Post, and its development was rapid. Although it is generally believed that the Chinese kept their processes of manufacture secret, Julian's translations of their voluminous encyclopedia show that this is not true. All who conld have read the work might have known also the porcelain secret. But evidently no German fathomed the mechanical mystery until the apothecary's apprentice Boettgar, 200 years ago, made the first German porcelain at Dresden, f^ome years before he had attracted attention by proclaiming the discovery of a method of changing base metal into gold. King Frederick I. gave him orders for the precious metal, which the sixteen -year-old In ventor could not execute, and in fear he fled to Dresden and became a subject of King August the Strong. While endeavoring to make gold he discovered the porcelain secret and Inscribed his door thus: "Into a potter was changed by Almighty God a man who thought he could make gold." A Puzzl* In Figures. Take any number of three different figures, as 471, under it place the same figures~in reverse order, subtract the lesser number and you will find that the middle figure of the result Is invariably 0.

Here is our case worked out: Taking any number, say 471 Reversing figures 171 Subtracting, we have 297 Further still, we can now reverse this number 297 In the same way and add the two numbers and the result , w i l l always come 1080.

After having exhibited everywhere in the eastern states he decided to go overland to California. Loading bis contrivances in a couple of "prairie schooners," as the plains wagons were called, he set out from the Missouri river to cross the Rocky mountains. One day the little caravan came upon a man who was crazed with distress. He had been traveling with bis wife and two children In a single wagon. For some reason he had left them for a few hours and when he returned found his wagon plundered of its contents, his stock run off and bis wife Mr. Daniels is the popular auctioneer! and children missing.

For the present we wish to call es pecial attention to tbe office of Judge had been carried away by the redskins The next day Indtons were seen at a distance. Blitz told the man, whose name was Rodman, to ride out and tell them a great medicine man traveling across the country would like to give them a display of his powers. Of course to go to the Indians was the next thing to going ta certain death, but Rodman was in hopes* that Blitz might help him to regain his family and took the chances. He learned while among the savages that they held his wife and children captives, though the savages did not know they belonged to him. Tbe marvelous will always interest the superstitious, and the Indians sent Rodman back to invite Blitz to their camp. Blitz improvised a stage with the necessary appurtenances, and the redskins squatted before It. An Interpreter stood ready to repeat the sorcerer's words in their own language. Blitz took a small iron cube with a ring for a handle and lifted it with his little finger. Then he said that he possessed the power of depriving a man of his strength and Invited any savage to come up on to the stage and submit himself to this test. The chief himself, the biggest and strongest Indian present, stepped up, evidently confident that no man could take away what he was so proud of. Blitz asked him to lift the iron weight. He did so, giving a grunt, as much as to say: "Do you make sport of me? Give me something heavy to lift." He set the weight down. Blitz made a few passes along his arm and told him to lift again. This time the Indian failed to move it. He struggled desperately, ail tbe blood in his body getting into his face, but to no purpose. The weight was immovable. Then he turned away muttering and did not stop till he had got behind the awe stricken Indians. The weight was connected by wires wit& a—powerful magnet, the current being turned on or off by a key under Blitz's foot. Blitz next took up u pistol and invited the chief to come back and kill him with it. The chief, in hopes of redeeming himself before his warriors, returned. Blitz offered him a cup with leaden bullets in it and asked him to take out one and mark It so that he j would know it again. The redskin did as he was told. Blirv, took the bullet, put it in the pistol, cocked the weapon, handed it to the Indian, stood off at the other end of the stage and told him The Indian took a sure aim and fired. Blitz put up his hand, caught the bullet in his fingers and tossed it hnok to the man who had ror atrickeij woman aud her children were brought forward and surttmdsfftd to white peopte thsir astonlshtcjmt <mm as great as the savafsa'. at •tttrs/tttdiclae work.

This is a common trick, the bullet put in the pistol being of clay ground up powder by ramming it down. It is substituted for the leaden one by sleight of hand. Then Blitz told the chief he could shoot his blood on to a board without hurting blm and fired a wax bullet at him filled with his own blood. It broke against the board, spattering the blood. By this time Blitz was a wonderful medicine man to the savages and was ready for the business he had conic for. An assistant bandaged his eyes, and Blitz told tbe audience that he saw in one of the tepees a white woman and two children. He ordered them to bring forth their prisoners at once or he would call down fire from the clouds to consume them. The chief called a powwow of his principal warriors. The White men saw them arjjulng and gesticulating, but could not understand what they said. Some were doubtful of Blitz having this power, while others claimed that a medicine man who could do what he had dona conld do anything.

Next to the con t&ryBtiou of national resources, he Ye gttrdv the well-beiiujs of the farmer as fne"Chief problem before the iaUon. Oh the man who gives us the materi a^s for clothes and food the entire ua tion depends. Through him satiety is rooted in the land. Many of the great economic improvements iu late years have been directed to the betterment of farming. The department of agri culture has b*ujn working to. increase the productivity of .the. land,,to iu- •struct fanners In the best met hod a of cultivation. All the development or Irrlgalion, the establishment of rural postal delivery, the improvement of waterways and railroads over which the product of the land is sent to the cities, the good roads movement, the creation'of state agricultural colleges, the regeneration of the district school eastern, have tended to make farming mote prosperous and the farmer healthier and better instructed. But most of this work has dealt to land and tiops and tools and roads; it hatin large measure missed the human being. The president's most inspiring idea, hig;niofit statesman-like motive, is the belief that it is the man that counts. We must help and improve human beings. We must make farm life so attractive that the best strength of the nation will live it. At present the brilliant prises of life seem to lie in the city, and too many capable boys are tempted away from the soil. To bring to the farm the essential comforts and intellectual interests of the cities, to give farm boy and farm £irl every chance for self-improvement, to secure to the farmer his proper share of the profit of his labor, to make life in the country most worth living—this is the problem the solution of which will strengthen the foundations of national prosperity. Measures to be considered by the commission, says the Youth's Commpanlon, are the establisiuent of postal springs banks, the creation of rural parcel post, by which the farmer may more easily get the product's of manufacture, the increase of "co-operation between farmers for buying, selling and borrowing," and the "better adap t.ation of rural schools to the training of children for life on the farm," AUTO COLLIDES W I T H S T R E E T CAR A N D T W O PEOPLE ARE K I L L E D .

Sir Philip entered the old company in *8fi7, and was employed in its civil service in Madras. where he continued after the transfer of control. He rose In responsible positions in India until he was called home as secretary of the judicial department of the India office.

All other men who had been employed by the old company had disappeared from the India office, and for the last nine months of his tenure Sir Philip was the sole surviving servant of the old regime.

The quartet had spent the evening in ah eastern suburb of the city. It was composed of I^vell H. Turnbull, Paul B. Feys, both of Detroit, Mrs. Albert Bemer, Kalamazoo, and Mrs. Emma Emeterio, of New York, who had been visiting Mrs. Bemer. Mrs. Emeterio formerly lived In 'Kalamazoo. Turnbull was driving. Mrs. Emeterio sat beside him. Keys and Mrs. Bemer occupied the rear seat. The big red auto, speeding at about 50 miles an hour, according to witnesses of the accident, was rushing down the south side of Jefferson avenue. Kxca vat ions for the big water main had forced the car to take the left side of the road. At Holeomb avenue the north side was clear again. Turnhull saw the brilliant white lights of an automobile approaching on the south tide, and to give it the right of way swung the machine across the tracks. Wirh a terrific crash the car, which Turnhull, dazzled by the automobile lights, had not seen, smashed into the rushing automobile, striking it just back of the center and hurling it. a shattered heap of debris, to the cur)). People jumped from the car and i ashed"m the fescue of the occupants. A man was pulled from the ruins. He refused Io give his name. "For Cod's sake, call me Fredericks," he pleaded. "Call me anything, only don't lit this reach the ears of my family i! will, break up my home." A few minutes later he had riisap peared. Mrs. Emeterio was also taken front the debris uninjured. The others were not so fortunate. The crushed body of Mrs. Bemer was next extricated. She, had received the full impact of the car, and had been instantly killed. Feys was still living when taken from the tangled mass of wreckage. The East End ambulance hurried him to St. Mary's hospital, where he died three hours later without recovering consciousness.

The hearing was adjourned until Friday, when it is expected to resume it in Chelsea, the Glaz'ier home. Mrs. Frank P. Clazier. Miss Vera Clazier and Harold Clazier are also to be examined.

I'heh one night the house was hroken into and two men were discovered tn the room where the hoy usually slept. I had taken him to my own bed that night, for he was ailing, and so he escaped. The alarm waa raised before they found him, and the men fled. Mr. Knapp was confident that they were ordinary house-breakers, but I knew better. 1 dared keep the boy there no longer, and called Henry Wilton to assist me in making him safe. He found a suitable house for the boy and hired men to guard it. But after one experience in which the place was attacked and almost carried by storm, Henry thought it, better to hide the boy and watch the enemy. The rest you know." Heaving a sigh «s of veMef.^rtte went on: "Mi. Lane was insane, } am certain. I tried to have Mr. Knapp take steps to lock him up. But Mr. Knapp could not believe that his brother was so wicked as to wish to take the life ot his own child. I think he was fearful of a scandal in which the relationship should become known. But there was a time, a few weeks ago, when I was near spurring Mr. Knapp to action. It was at the time of his trip to Virginia City. Mr. Lane came to the house while I was away and scared the servants into fits with his threats and curses. Luella had the courage and tact to face him and get him out of the house and I telegraphed for Mr. K n a p p " "T remember the occasion, thrugh 1 didn*t know what was going on." "Well. Mr. Knapp was very angry, and had a long talk with Lane. He told me that the creature cried and pleaded for forgiveness and promised amendment for the. future. And Mr. Knapp believed him. Yet. that rcry night yon were assailed with Luella. in Chinatown." TT» truth flashed on ms. The groana and cries behind the k c k e d CHAPTER XXXI. The R»w*rd. "I've.-hoard About you," said Xiuella, when on the next evening 1 made my bow t o her. "But I w a n t to hear all about it from yourself. Tell toe, please." Then I told her the story of my coming, of the murder ot Henry Wilton, of the struggles with death and difficulty that had given t h e spice of variety to my life since I hjatT come across the continent. It was an inspiration to have such a listener. Under the encouragement of her sympathy I found an unwonted flow of words and ideas. Laughtex and tears shone in h e r eyes as the ludicrous and sorrowful parts of my. experience touched her by t u r n s . And at the end I found that 1 was clasping her hand. F o r a minute we were silent. "Oh," she qvied softly, withdrawing her hand and Jopking dreamily,away, And i h j y e faith-;-;' said Luella. "I knew ft was right—that it must be right. You have justified my faith, and m o r e ! " "I am repaid for all by those words," I said. "You deserve a much greater reward than that," said Luella. ' 1 wRnt a much greater reward than that," said I boldly. I did not. think the courage was in me. But under the magnetic influence of the woman before me I forgot what a poor devil I was. Luella looked at me, and I saw in her eyes that she understood what I would say. T do not know what I did say. 1 have no doubt it was very badly put, but she listened seriously. Then she tmld: "That's very nice of you to want me, but I am going to marry the president of the Omega Company." I turned sick with despair at these words so gently said, and a pang of jealously, tinged with wonder, shot through me. "Surely she can't be in love with that red-faced brute we fought with in the Omega office," I thought. Luella saw my distress as I tried to rise and fly from the place. "Don't, go," ghe said gently. "What are you going to do with your men?" "The free companions are to be disbanded," I said, recovering myself with a gulp. "And you, Mr. Dudley0 " This question struck me a little. blank. I had really not. thought of what I was going to do. "It's another case of an occupation gone," I said rather ruefully. "With the hreak-up of the plots and the close of the Omega -deal T am at the end of my employments." With this view of the question hefore me, I fell into a panic of regrets and began to blush furiously at my folly in imagining for an instant that Lucila could think of me for a hus band. "No," said Luella thoughtfully. "You are Just at the beginning."' The tone, even more than the words, braced my nerves, and once more there glowed within me a generous courage of the future. "You are right. 1 thank you." I said feelingly. "I have faith in the opportunities." Then she atop "Iit,tjie«maa, I Jiope,"Tventured.

Byron's proposal to his wife, Miss Milbanke, was made after sordid discussion and study and lacked all impulse. Lady Melbourne, who stood in his confidence, observing how cheerless and unsettled his mind and prospects were, strenuously advised hitn to marry. She suggested a certain iady, but Lord Byron fancied tho Idea of marrying Miss Milbanke. "No," said Lady Melbourne; "Miss Milbanke will not suit you. In the first place, she has no fortune now, and you want money immediately. In the next place, you want a person who will have great admiration for your genius; •he has too great an admiration for herself." "Well," said Byron, "as you please." And, sitting down, he wrote a letter to the lady recommended by Lady Melbourne. He received a refusal. "Now, you see," said he, "Miss Milbanke Is to bo the person, after all. I will write to her." As soon as lie had finished his friend, •till remonstrating, read tbe note and Observed; "Well, really, this is a Very pretty letter. It is a pity It should not go." "Then It shrill go," exclaimed Byron. And, so saying, he sealed and sent the flat of his unhappy fate. you good. 25c at Siglers drug store. that way.

Middlebrook remained in Merriam's employ two years before the ambition of his employer was attained. Merrlain was nominated, and he was so good a man that the opposition hesitated about putting up a candidate of its own. Indeed, Merriam was congratulating himself on the prospect of having no opposition whatever when he saw a notice one morning in his newspaper that astonished him. It was no less than a n announcement of his stenographer, Truby Middlebrook, that he would be a candidate for mayor at the coming election. Now, there had been the best of feeling between the two men. Merriam had raised Middlebrook's salary several times and had supposed that the stenographer was devoted to him. "Mr. Middlebrook," said Merriam, " I have seen your notice. You have a perfect right to run for office against j me, but—but—well, your action Is Just like a thousand things your predecessors have done who were—women. That's all." Mr. Middlebrook withdrew without a word, and what filled the measure of his employer's astonishment was that he thought he s a w a tear in bis stenographer's eye.

He was still puzzled a t his employee interposing himself between him and the office he coveted, but he was above lifting a finger to defeat that employee's intention. The evening before the election Middlebrook took his chief's dictation, a s usual, and was about to retire when he turn- j ed, evidently shaken by considerable ' emotion, and said: "Mr. Merriam, I've been a mean, i wicked thing. You've been just tod I lovely to mc for anything, and in re- j turn I've attempted to deprive you of what yon so em mostly desire and are so much better fitted for than I." The young man took out his handkerchief and wiped tears which were \ flowing from his eyes. i "What in thunder does this mean?" exclaimed Merriam. "You talk and act for all the world like one of those con- . founded women." ' "I am a woman. My name is Katherlne Gile. 1 wanted an office and disguised myself as a man to get one. I w l s h - 1 wish I was a t the bottom of the sea." She turned away in a n emotional storm. Merriam sat gaping at her for a time; then, with a twinkle in his eye, he replied to her last remark "Yon would there find Mr McGinty, and yon would have to continue in man's clothes to beat him nt hla legitimate work rhe work of a fisherman." "I didn't intend." said the g t t , her back still turned toward her employer and political opponent, "to run agajoat fou.

Aa It happened this year Old Joe Cuwaill had varied his usual program *> remaining all winter and .well into t h e ansnmer in Sauger's, and it was m t cuatil one morning In July that he a a d his mule were seen In marching order, alowly. making their way down t h e country road toward the south. Three men sittiug on the veranda of the 8hasta house, were discussing a M W mining boom. Suddenly one of them slapped his knee, and brought his chair down with a taad on the floor. "Say, hoys, I've got an idea that'll fdve »s «>me fun and set up the an cleat prospector in the highest heaven of joy. Let's grubstake him!" Load bursts of laughter greeted the proposition, but after a lit|le, the nige ness pf the joke began to appeal strongly to these prominent citizens of fttk •****• later, the bfjvrikler^ri old maajptedded, in a daze, beside his pack mqJo, with the pleasant recollec "She Jest Cried, She Was So Glad to See Me." tirA of a hearty meal, and the amazing; reality of threa brilliant, twenty dollar gjokl pieces clanking their shin ing aides against each other in hi? pocket, » The grubstake was kept a secret be tweea the three partners of Old Joe, • ' ' 1 hdur after the letter was read, every* body knew the story oX the trne«xdou ble eagles and their sequel. The three men who had grubstaked the successful ruirxjr were the most surprised or all. A reception committee was appointed to welcome the lucky miner. On Thursday morning Sauger's rose early and decorated the building* ou Main street with garlands of spruce and rir, and cotton flags left over from the last- Fourth of July celebration. Half au hour before train time, the platform of the little railway utation was crowded with expectant Saugerites. All the jokes of the past six months were revived to" while away the long moments before the train was due, but no joke iwas as potent to bring a laugh as the idea of the entire town 6T Sauger's Pass turning out to hbnor the arrival of Old Joe Cunnili, whom, three months before, the very dogs had not considered worth a bark. An echoing whistle from far down the canyon at last brought silence, and the crowd made way for the reception committee to step close to the track. With a warning screech from the engine and a clanging of the bell, the train swept around a curve, rumbled over the bridge, and stopped, puffing impatiently. Sauger's held its oreath. At last a familiar figure was seen to descend from the high steps. "AM aboard!" shouted the conductor, signaling the engineer. As the engine began to gather momentum slowly, in puffy jerks, for the upgrade run. there was spilled from the second day coach an accumulation of females of assorted sizes, which piled up in a heap ou the cindery path beside the track, then rose, one by one. and meekly tagged the steps of Joseph Cunnili, capitalist. The train crept out of sight around the curve, but Sauger's did not know it. The bras* band was silent, and the reception committee stood stock still, and stared Rtnpidly. The committee, at last, regained its presence of mind, and stepped up to Old Joe, but Sauger's guest of honor was timidly making for the trail behind the station, which was the short cut to the town. Isaac Pendleton stopped him. "Here, Joe, old fellow, you ain't goln' to give ns the cold shoulder, are you? What you in such a hurry for?" Old Joe glanced nervously at the storekeeper, then at the unusual crowd. His face turned ashen, he clutched at his wrinkled throat. "You ain't goin' to make me swing for it, air ye?" he pleaded plteously. The reception committee laughed. "It's turned his head, sure." "No, Joe," Mr. Pendleton replied, this isn't Judge Lynch's party, though all the other prominent officials are out to honor you. Come on to the 'bus and tell us all about it." Rut Joe fell to trembling so that he could scarcely stand. "Ask—ask her; she'll tell ye," he stammered, pofcutog behind him. The gaze of the crowd was transferred to the aggregation of females, wfiich presntrtfd a shrinking front to the public %»e. The' oldest, of afcont. 46 summen, unkempt and forlorn-eyed, gath ered the youngest, aged two, to her breast, grouped around her the remaining seven, ranging from 18 down, and cast her eyes on the ground in frightened confusion. The old->{nlner braced himself, and turned bravely toward the crowd. "'Well, ye see, Mr. Pendleton," he said, keeping hit eye }t was peddles his gospel talk through the minln' country,' gez I, because there didn't seem to be not bin' else to do, seeins lion* she didn't have no pertuctor Aji* 1 thought ' uiebbe ye wouldn't be terrible put out, gentle* men, if l used the rest of the money to come buck to Sauger's an' set tip Mely an' the children.'' ^°1 The crowd was very qut£tv "Bu,t what about your p$t>; JtMV asked Spandling after a moment. "How much, and where did ypjj^lnake the strike?" * ;v" "Strike?" repeated Joe In bewilderment. "1 didn't make none thin time, 'less Mely's the strike." A groan ran through the multitude, disappointment was pictured on a hundred faces, some looked fairly menacing. It was not often that Sauger's bestirred itself as it had for this occasion which bad ended so absurdly. They, would be a butt for the ridicule of the whole county. •Suddenly, the hotel utau stepped up to the woman aud,spoke, to her in a low tone. Then he faced the crowd. "Boys, you're aoario/ the,poor crltt u r s t o death, with the tender tyeUn' for Charley Mason glarln' put of your eyes. The reception committee will bt* responsible fur the drawin' up ,of a testimonial to that gentleman; you, leave that to us. But we're a pack; of fools, just the same, not to see that this is the biggest joke In California, bigger than the Barneses' strike. If Old Joe didn't bring back nine times more than we expected, then I'm crazy. Whoever heard of a claim that panned out such nuggets as these here?" pointing to the eight young women. "I find," he continued, "that this estimable lady, Mrs. Joseph CunnM, is a past master at the wash tub. What do you say to setting her up in 'The Grubstake Laundry/ and requesting that heathen clothes-destroyer, Chin Lee. to seek another sheeprango?" Sauger's gave a lusty roar.

One of the acts last legislature was to pass a law brin«ing all Juvenile offenders within the .Jurisdiction of the Probate Court. Comparatively few offenses by juveniles need punishment it being more essential to reason with the child and give him a chance rather than blight his life by sending him to different institutions. " People having their children brought before the present Judge A. A. Montague, can feel assured that they will receive ju9t and fair treatment, as those best acquainted with him know he has a warm place in his heart for the yonng ones and realizes that many of their offenses are due to the thoughtlessness of childhood rather than criminal intent, and is anxious to give the children an opportunity to develop into a useful man or woman. In fact we feel that the Judge is the right man in the right place. of all parties through out. the county His ability as a public official as well as an attorney at law places him in the front rank and at the head of the legal profession in his county. The r e c o g n i t i o n o! his ability by the members of the democratic party in in Livingston gave him a nnamiou.s nomination for Jndge of Probate at their county convention. An abler and better qualified man tor this important office wuuld be hard to find in this county, his largo and diversified law praotice coupled with his judicial turn of mind has certainly fitted him to fully understand the needs of the people in the transaction of this important court. Mr. Van Winkle will be a strong candidate and the precedent so long established that but one term has ever been given the Jndge ot Probate, it will be a great change if Mr, VanWinkla is aot elected the next Judge of Frobatt of Livingston connty.—fttrakl.

It deals with knotty problems which are hard to adjust. Mr. Mow^r'.s courteous but fearless methods however have been so satisfactory that only one of the many who have been interested in his dicissions has appealed. In that case the commissioners a-sessed more to the man who appealed, instead of less, thus endorsing M. Mowers action in the matter. W 1th all the work that has been done in the past twe years the Honey Greek dram in Putnam is the only one his opponents have found to yell about. The joke is that the work complained of for this drain was done before .»lr. Mowers went into office, and is not Mr. Mowers work at all. Frank £ .
