BAND- P L A Y S HORRIBLE DISCORD TO R E P R E S E N T RELATIONS B E T W E E N TWO. California's orange crop appears to be infringing on the vested rights of the Michigan peach crop. Imagine the quantity of 5-cent cigars that Prank Chance could, if he would, buy with that $25,000 a year. "Eggs and Publicity" is a headline In an eastern paper. But the less publicity some eggs have, the better. We have small sympathy for the gentleman or lady who acquires chilblains through excessive devotion to fcilk hose. Having his eye on the front page, tho New Hampshire's pet goat naturally butted into print by way of a rear admiral. Some of the educators have determined that examinations are no good. The schoolboys could have told them that long ago. If the ruin of the lemon crop has no 111 effect on the lemon pie ot commerce one will be justified in harboring suspicions. The people of the Netherlands lead the world in coffee drinking. Who now will dare to say that coffee makes people nervous? What has become of the fussy old gentleman who laments the inability of the present generation to make buckwheat cakes? Somebody has invented a waist for feminine wear that fastens together in the back with only two hooks. What a pity it has no chance! A Vienna physfcian says two persons can be grown together by skin grafting. Watch the Siamese twins increase now in the sideshows. A Harvard professor says there will soon be a permanent cure for the gout Still, the market price lists seem to answer the purpose very well now. It is too bad that the suspender company that failed the other day could not have held up a Iitle longer Suffragettes advocate wearing them. It is rather hard to understand why *ven ^wealthy Chicago woman should pay $5,000 for a dog. unless, perchance, it was a solid, tenderloin dog. " A minister in the east has his sermons printed and sent to each sick member of his flock. That, at least, should insure against any feigned illness. A Philadelphia man has succeeded In hatching eggB of the diamond-backed terrapin in an incubator. Next thing they'll have them in cold storage, too. One French woman playwright who killed a woman friend is to dramatize the little incident. If the habit spreads friends of other dramatists will begin to worry. With a bulldog under one arm and a crate of eggs under the other, the Industrious postman is not required to lift his cap Jn salutation as the fair mistress of the house comes to get her morning letters. A contemporary remarks naively on the death of the composer of the *' 'Sweet Bye and Bye' and other war ballads." By the way, what constitutes a war ballad? The prince of Walep has been ordered by his father to resign from an Oxford club because he participated in a frolic known as a "rag." Er1: dently^the king is opposed to ragtime. The fishermen of British Columbia find the whale very useful in herding shoals of herring toward the shore. Since the days of Jonah the whale, bas had a knack of figuring in tall tales. An investigator asserts tbat New York has no haunted houses. The inevitable lnferenee is that translated New Yorkers don'tgvant to come back from the next world even if it )c pretty. Jiot.—' - The roof of a Philadelphia hotel is being equipped with a landing for aeroplanes. It will keep the management busy when fly-by-night theatrical troupes adopt this means ot transportation. It must be awful to get into a bunch of Chinese political reformers who are baseball fans and listen to their comments on tbe new govern ment and the introduction of the diamond at the same time. NINE " B R Y A N S " IN CABINET." "WILSON'S BuHesque on Woman's Suffrage and Democracy Feature h'rolicsome Evening in Washington. A rollicking farewell was given to {he Taft administration at the annual dinner of the Gridiron club. At the same time the club members took advantage of their last opportunity to play another joke on President Taft and those associated with him in his administration of the national government. With 'Uncle Joe" Cannon, and others whose official days in Washington end March 4, the president was made the target for many a witty shaft. The president was honored with a great ovation, however, and invited to attend every future dinner of the club. Both President Taft and former Speaker Cannon opened their hearts to the club members'and spoke feelingly of their days in Washington, now so nearly at an end. The adventure of the Bull Moose, and the probable fate awaiting Prcident- elect. Wilson and his advisers, were portrayed in the absurd tunny fashion which originated wilh the Gridiron club. There were even an inaugural parade, and it was witnessed by a splendid array of cabinet officers, foreign ambassadors and others. The guests had hardly seated themselves at the tables in the beautifully decorated ball room of the New Willard hotel, and admired the mortarboard cap inkstand souvenirs in reminder of President Taft's new role as Yale professor when a tremendous boom, boom of basis drums was heard from behind the scenes and the fun was on. P A S S E S S I X ^ i T E A R T E R M : Senate Takes Action That Will Shut Out Teddy, Taft and Wilson. The first step was taken in the senate toward the adoption of a constitutional amendment fixing the term of president of the United States at six years and making the chief executive ineligible, to succeed himself. By a vote of 47 to 23, .the Works single term resolution was adopted by the senate. The advocates of the reform succeeded in mustering just two more than the necessary twothirds. Under the terms of the resolution as it passed the senate, Colonel Roosevelt, Mr. Taft and Woodrow Wilson are eliminated from the field of possibilities for the presidency in future contests. The resolution, if it should be ratified by three-fourths of the states before the expiration of Mr. Wilson's term will, however, have the effect of adding two years to his tenure, giving him a six instead of a,four year term. The resolution now goes to the house and the likelihood is that it will be passed by that body by^-a more decisive vote than resulted in the senate. 2,00(^000 Britons to Strike for 8 Hours.

Addresses New York, Jan, 27.—In .order that the public mk,ht better understand the Bureau of Social Hygiene, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., today gave out a statement explaining the origin, work and plans of that institution. The bureau, Jie said, came into existence a])out two years ago as a result of tho work of a special grand jury appointed to investigate the white slave traffic in New York city. This jury recommended that a public commission be appointed to study the social evil. Mr. Rockefeller was foreman of that grand jury and he thereafter gave the subject deep thought and conferred with a large number of leading men and women. 'These conferences," says Mr. Rockefeller, "developed the feeling that a public commission would labor under a number of disadvantages, such as the fact that it would be short lived; that its work would be done publicly; that at best it could hardly do more than present recommendations. So the conviction grew that in order to make a real and lasting improvement in conditions, a permanent organization should be created, the continuation of which would not be dependent upon a temporary wave of reform, nor upon the life of any man or group of men, but which would go on generation after generation, continuously making warfare against the forces of evil. It also appeared that a private organiza- * tion would have, among* other advantages, a certain freedom from publicity and from political bias, which a publicly appointed commission could not so easily avoid. "Therefore, as the initial step, in the winter of 1911 the Bureau of Social Hygiene was formed. Its present members are Miss Katharine Bement Davis, superintendent of the New York state reformatory for women at Bedford Hills, N . Y . ; Paul M. Warburg, "oFTfre firm of Kuhn, Lorjb & Co., Starr J. Murphy, of the New York bar, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. A s tl^e work develops new members may be added. "One of the first things undertaken by the bureau was the establishment at; Bedford Hills, adjacent to the reformatory, of a laboratory of social hygiene, under Miss Davis' direction. In this laboratory it is proposed to study from the physical, mental, social and moral side each person committed to the reformatory. This^Eudy will bo carried on by experts and each case will be kept under observation for from three weeks to three months, as may be required. When the diagnosis is completed, it is hoped that the laboratory will be . in position to recommend the treatment most likely to individual, or, if reformation is impossible, to recommend permanent custodial care. Furthermore, reaching out beyond the individuals involved, it is believed tin* tlus important contributions may be made to a fuller knowledge of the conditions ultimately responsible for vice. If this experiment is successful the principle may prove applicable to all classes of criminals and the conditions precedent to crime, a'nd lead to Unes of action not only more scientific and humane but also less wasteful than th"ose at present followed." The Young Bride's First Discovery. i Tlieir wedding tour had ended* and they entered their new home to settle down to what they hoped to be one long uninterrupted blissful honeymoon. But alas! the young bride's troubles soon began, when she tried to reduce the cost of living with cheap big can baking powders. She soon discovered that all 3he got was lot for her money, and it was not ail .uking powder, for the bulk of it was fteap materials which had no leavening power. Such powders will not make light, wholesome food. And because of the absence of leavening gas, it requires from two to three times as much to raise cakes or biscuits as i i does of Calumet Baking: Powder. ^ , . . Thus, eventually, the actual cost to you of cheap baking powders is more than Calumet m-ouM be. Cheap baking powders o|«?n leave Lie bread bleached and aeid»\;*6metimes yellow and alkaline, and often unpalatable. They are not always of uniform strength and'quallty. .. ,. Now the bride buys Calumet—the perfectly wholesome baking powder, moderate In price, and always uniform and reliable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes good cooking* easy, and is certainly the most economical after all.

A certain New York hotel manager is one of those nervous men who constantly warn their employes against keeping them in ignorance of any happening around the place. He hir^d a new bell boy recently, and gave him the usual warning: 'Remember/* he warned, "if any» thing happens around here I'm to be the first person to, know about it." Soon after that he was showing three haughty Daughters of the Confederacy one of the best rooms in the; place, when the new bell boy rushed in with his hair on end. 'Something's happened!" he yelled. The three Daughters of the Confederacy turned coldly, and the manager, anxious to get rid of the bcry, demanded to know the trouble. "That old cat down stairs/1 said the boy, "has just had kittens! What shall we do?" The rotigh. manager's suggestion was f Not a Complaint. "Miss IVow*n," said the art inspector, pausing before a student's easel, "you might with all propriety worship that drawing of yours." The poorest pupil in the class looked up, surprised and pleased. "I'm so glad you like it, sir.' But why—why—" "The Bible expressly commands us not, to worship tho likeness—of" anything in tho heavens above or in the earth beneath, does it uot?" That its work might be done intelligently the bureau employed George J. Kneeland to make a comprehensive survey of vice conditions in New York, and Abraham Flexner to study the social evil In Europe, and their reports are now being prepared. These studies will be followed by others in various American cities, and it is the hope of the bureau that based upon a l l k of them, may be devised a practical plan for dealing with the social evil. In conclusion Mr. Rockefeller's statement says: "It caiinotN^e too strongly emphasized that the spirit which dominates the work of the bureau is not sensational or sentimental or hysterical; that it is not a spirit of criticism of public officials; but that it is essentially a spirit of constructive suggestion and of deep scientiftc as well as humane interest in, will request a 'physician's certificate were made by Prof. C.

Hand already, earlier in the day, had made a path for himself up the steep bank through the underbrush, and now Agatha went with him to the edge of tho thicket. She watched and listened until the faint rustling of his footsteus ceased, then turned went to the fire and stirred up its J 4 to the camp on" to the fire and coala once more before returning to ..Tames. He was sleeping, but his Hushed face and unnatural breathing were signs of i l l . Now and then he moved restlessly, or seemed to try to speak, but no coherent words came. She sat down to watch by Mm. After Agatha and James had been brought ashore by the capable Mr. Hand, it-had needed only time to bring Agatha back to consciousness. Both she and James .had practically tainted from exhaustion, and James ihad been nearly drowned, at the last Iminute. Agatha had been left on the rocks to come to herself as sho would, while Hand had rubbed and pummeled James until the blood flowed again. It had flowed too freely, indeed, at some time during his ordeal; and ttay trickles of blood showed on his lips. Agatha, dazed and aching, was trying to crawl up to the sand when Hand came back to her, running lightly over the slippery rocks. They had come in on the flowing tide, which had aided them greatly; and •new Hand helped her the short distance to the cove and mercifully let her lie, while he went back to his work for James. Later he had got a little bucket, used for bailing out tho rowboat, and dashed hurriedly into the thicket above after some tinkling cowbells Though she was too tired to question him, Agatha supposed he had tied one of the cows to a tree, since ho returned three or four times to fill the pail. What a wonderful life-giver uiiilk was! She had drunk her fill and had tried to feed it to James, who at first tasted eagerly, but had, on the whole, taken very little. He was only i*artly awake, but he shivered and weakly murmured that he was cold. Agatha quickly grew stlonger; and she and Hand set to work to prepare the fire and the bed. Almost while they were at this labor, the sun had gone down. Sitting by Jim's couch, Agatha grew sleepy and cold, but there were no more coverings. Hand's coat was .over Jim, and as Agatha herself felt the cold more keenly she tucked it closer about him. Alone as she was now, in solitude with this man who had saved her from tho waters, with darkness and the night again coming :on, her spirit shrank; not so much from fear, as from that premonition •of the future which now and then assails the human heart. As she knelt by Jim's side, covering his feet with tho coat and heaping the fir boughs over him, she paused to look at his unconscious face. She knew now that he did not belong to the crew of the Jeanne D'Arc; but of his outward circumstances she knew nothing more. Thirty she guessed him to be, thereby coming within four yearB of the truth. His short mustache concealed his mouth, and his eyes were closed. It was almost like looking at the mask of a face. The rough beard of a week's growth made a deep shadow over the lovable. But beyond this, what sort of man was he? Agatha could not tell. She had seen many men of many types, and perhaps she recognized James as belonging to a type; but if so, it was the type that stands for the best of New England stock. In the centuries back it may have brought forth fanatics and extremists; at times it may have built up its narrow walls of prejudice and pride; but at the co-re it was sound and manly, and responsive to the call of the spirit. Something of all this passed through Agatha's mind, as she tried to read Jim's face; then, as bestirred uneasily and tried to throw off the light boughs that she had spread over him. Bhe got up and went to the edge ot the water to moisten afresh the bandage for his forehead. Involuntarily sho shuddered at sight of the dark water, though the lapping waves, pushing up farther and farther with the incoming tide, were gentle enough to soothe a child. She hurried back to Jim's couch and laid the cooling compress, across hi3 forehead. The balsam boughs about them breathed their fragrance on the night air, and the pleasant gloom rested their tired eyes. Gradually he quieted down again; his restlessness ceased. The long twilight deepened into darkness, or rather into that thin luminous blue shade which is the darkness of starlit summer sea washed the beach c-aressT But Mr. little hi' isn't any v ith rEs^TOrtmmiig' caress? somewhere in tho thicket above a nightbird called. -in a cranny of the rocks Agatha hollowed out the sand, still warm beneath the surface here wfiere the sun had lain on it through long summer days, and made for herself a bed and coverlet and pillow all at once. With the sand piled around and over her, she could not really suffer; and she was mortally tired. She looked up toward the clear stars, Vega and_the jeweled cross almost in the zenith, and ruddy Antares in the body of the shining Scorpion. They were watching her, she thought, tonight in her peace as they had watched her last night in her struggle, and as they would watch after all her days and nights were done. And then she thought no more. Sleep, blessed gift, descended upon her. C H A P T E R X . hear Tho Heart of Youth. "Agatha Redmond, can ycu me?" She caught the voice faintly, as if it were a child's cry. "I'm right here, yes; only wait just a s.ccond." She could not instantly free herself from her sandy coverings, but she was wide awake almost at the first words James had spoken. Paint as the voice had been, she recognized the natural_.. _tonea\—thai as- J&eU^ while he drank, almost greedily. As he sank back on his bed he whispered: "You are very good to take care of me." "Oh. no; I'm only too glad! And now I'm going to build up the fire again; your hands are quite cold." "No, don't go," he pleaded. "Please stay here; I'm not cold any more. And you must go to sleep again. 1 ought not to have wakened you; and, really, I didn't mean to." "Yes you ought. I've had lots of sleep; I don't want any more." "It's dark, but it's better than it was that other night, isn't it?" said James. "Much better," answered Agatha. James visibly gathered strength from tho milk, and presently he took some more. Agatha watched, and when he had finished, patted him approvingly on the hand. "Good boy! You've dor^e very well," she cried. "I was so thirsty, I thought the whole earth had run dry- Will you think me very ungrateful if T say now I wish it had been water?" "Oh. no; I wish so, too. Hand could only get us a from a spring, for there other pail." It was some time before Jim made out to inquire, "Who's Mr. Hand?" . "He's the man that helped us—out of the water—when we became exhausted." Agatha hesitated to speak of the "right's experience, uncertain how far Jim's memory carried him, and not knowing how a sick man, in hia weakness, might be affected. Still, now thalj he seemed almost himself again, save for the chill, she* ventured to refer to the event, speaking in a matter-of-fact way, as if such endurance tests were the most natural events in the world. James' speech was quite coherent and distinct, but very slow, as if the efforts to speak came from tho depths of a profound fatigue. "Hand—that's a good name for him. T thought it was the hand of God. which plucked me, like David, or Jonah, or some such person, out of the seething billows. But I didn't think of there being a man behind." Then, after a long silence, "Where is he?" "He's gone off to find somebody to help us get away from here; a carriage or wagon of some sort, and some food and clothes." Something caused Jim to ejacu'ate, though quite feebly. "You poor thin?:!" And then he asked, very slowly, "Where is •1161-0'?" "I don't know; and Mr. Han^ doesn't know " "And we've lost our tags," laughed Jim faintly. Agatha couldn't resist the Jaush, though the' weakness in Jim's voice was almost enough to make her weep 1 hope," said Agathk, swallowing her misgivings. "That's good," said Jamcy. "I think I'il be about and good for something myself by that time." Tnero was another long pause, so long that Agatha thought James must have geno to sleep again. He thought likewise of her, it appeared; for when he next spoke it was in a, careful whisper; "Are you still awake, Agatha Redmond?" "Yes, indeed; quite. Do you want anything?" "Yea, a number of things. First, are you quite recovered from the trouble—that night's awful trouble?" He seemed to be wholly lost as to time "Did you come off without any serious injury? Do you look like yourself, strong and rosy-cheeked agajn?" Agatha replied heartily to this/and her answer appeared to satisfy James for the moment. "Though," she added, "here in the dark, who can tell whether I have rosy cheeks or not?" "True!" sighed James, but his sigh was not an unhappy one. Presently he began once more: "I want to know, too. if you weren't surprised that. I knew your name?" "Well, yes a little, when I had time to think about it. How did you know it?" James laughed. I meant to keep it a secret, always; but' I guess I'll tell, after all—just you. I got it from the program, that Sunday, you know." "Ah, yes, I understand." She didn't quite understand, at first; for there had been other Sundays and other songs. But she could not weary him now with questions. As they lay there the slow, monotonous susurrus of the sea made a deep accompaniment to their words. It was near, and yet immeasurably far. filling the universe with its soft but Insistent sound and echoes of sound. At tho back of her mind, Agatha heard it always, low, threatening, and strong; but on the surface of her thoughts, she was trying to decide what she ought to do. She was thinking whether she might question her companion a little concerning himpelf, when he answered her, in part, of his own accord. "You couldn't know who T am, of course; James Hambleton, of Lynn. Jim, Jimmy, Jimsy, Bud—I'm called most anything. But I wanted to tell yo.i—in fact, that's what I waked up* exnrossly for—I. wanted to tell you—" lie paused so long, that- Agatha loaned over, trying to see his face. The violence of the chill had passed. wide—open, hi a face always be different to h<rt>> «-«f ?eat?on of that night and what sha cttose to term his sp\en<$d heroieta.* She had seen him in his hour of strength, that hour when the overman makes halfgods out of mortals. It was the heart of youth, plus the endurance of the man, that had saved them both. It had tieen a call to action, dauntlessly answered, and he himself had avowed that the struggle, the effort, even the final pain, were "worth living for!" Thinking of his white face and feeble voice, she prayed that the high gods might not regard them worth dying /or. lower part of his face; and yet, behind the mask, she thought she could see some token of a real man, not without his attributes of divinity. In the ordeal of the night before he had shown the highest order of patience, endurance and courage, together with u sweetness of temper that was itself strongest he had uttered since coming out of the water. The night had grown cold and dark, and at first she was a trifle bewildered. She was also stiff and sore, almost beyond bearing. She had to creep along the sand to where Jim lay. The fire had burned wholly out, and the sand felt damp as she crawled over it. When she came near, she reached out her hand and laid it on Jim's forehead. He was shivering with cold. "You poor man! And I sleeping while I ought to be taking care of jou! I'll make the fire and get some milk; there is still a little left." As she tried to make her aching bones lift her to her feet, she became aware that the man was fumbling at his coverings and trying to say something. She bent down to hear his words, which were incredibly faint. * "I don't want any fire or any milk. I only wanted to know if you wereii'all there," he said diffidently, as if ashamed of his childishness. She leaned over him, speaking gently and touching his head softly with her firm, cold hands. "You're a little better now, aren't you, after your sleep? Don't you feel d little stronger?" "Yes, I'm better, lots better," he whispered. "J must have been sleeping for ages. When I woke up I thought I had. a beastly chill or something; but I'm all right now; only suddenly 1 felt as if I m u s t know If you were there, and if it was you." He smiled at his own words, and Agatha was reassured. "t think you'll be still better for a little milk." she said, and crept away to get the pail, which had been' hidden on a shelf of rock. When she came back with it, James tried manfully, to sit up; but Agatha4 slipped an arm under his neck, in skilful nurse fashion, and held the bucket "Yes, we've the pity. Mr. lost our tags, more's Hand thinks we're either on the coast of Maine, .or on an Island somewhere near the coast. I myself think it must at least be Nova Scotia, or possibly Newfoundland But Hand will find out and bp back soon, and then we'll get away from here and go to some place where vre'Jl all be comfortable." Agatha stole away, and with much difficulty succeeded in kindling the flro again. She tended it until a good steady heat spread over the rocks, and then returned to James. She curled up, half sitting, half lying, against th* rocks. Clouds had risen during tho recent hours, and1 it was much darker than the night fefore had been. The ocean, washing Its million pebbles up on the little beach, moaned and cpmplained incessantly. In the long interval between their talk. Agatha's head would her eyes would close, and she would almost sleep; but an undercurrent of anxiety concerning her companion kept her always at the edfee of consciousness. James himself appeared to have no desire to sleep. He was trying to piece together, in his mind, his conscious and unconscious memories At last he said* .. "I guess I haven't been much good —for a while—have I?" Agatha considered before replying. "You were quite exhausted, I think; and we feared you might be i l l " "And Ha^dy Andy got my job?" She laughed outright at this, as much fcr the feeling of reassurance it gave her as for the jest itself. "Handy Andy certainly had a Job, with U3 two on his hands!" vshe laughed. \ "I bet he did!" cried James, with more vigor than he had shown before. "He's a great man: I'm for him! When's he coming back?" alarmingly pale. She felt a sudden qualm of pain, lest illness and exhaustion had wrought havoc in his frame deeper than she knew. Hut as sho bent over him, his features lighted up with his rare smile—an expression full of happiness and peace. He lifted a hand, feebly, and she took it in both her own. Sho felt that thus, hand in hand, they were nearer; that thus she could better be of help to him. "I wanted to tell you," he began again, "that whatever happens, I'm glad I did it." "Did what, dear friend?" questioned Agatha, thinking in her heart that the fever had set his wits to wandering. "Glad I followed the Face and the Voice," he answered feebly. Agatha watched him closely, torn with anxiety. She couldn't bear to see him suffer—this man who had so suddenly become a friend, who had been so bravo and unselfish for Iter sake, who had been so cheerful throughout their night of trouble. "I told old Aleck." James went on. "that I'd have to jump the fence; but that was ages ago. I've been harnessed down so long that I thought I'd gone to slrep, sure enough." Agatha thought certainly that now he was delirious, but sho had no heart to stop his gentle earnestness. He went on: "But you woke me up. And—f -wouWnH . have missed this last run, net for anything. Twa3 a great night, that night on the water, with you; and whatever happens, I shall always think that worth living for; yes, well worth living for." James' voice died away into incoherence and at last into silence. Agatha, holding his hands in hers, watched him as he sank away from her into some realm whither she could not follow. Either his hour of sanity and calmness had passed, and fever had taken hold upon his system; or fatigue, mental and physical, had overpowered him once more. Presently she dropped his hand gently, looked to the coverings of his couch, ahd settled herself down again to rest. But no more sleep came to her eyes that night. She thought over all that James had said, remembering his1 words vividly. Then her thoughts went back over the years, recalling she knew not what irrelevant matters from the past. Perhaps by some underlying law of association, there came to her mind, also, tho words of the song she had Rung on tho Sunday which James had referred to— "Free cf my pain, free of my burden of sorrow, * At last I shall see thee—" C H A P T E R X L The Home Port. The darkness of the night slowly lifted, revealing only a gray, leaden sky. There was no dawn such as had gladdened their hearts the morning before, no fresh awakening of the day. Instead, the coldness and gloom of the night seemed but to creep a little farther away, leaving its shadow over the world. A drizzling rain began to fall, and the wanderers on the beach were destined to a new draft of misery. Only Agatha watched, however; James gave no sign of caring, or even of knowing, whether the sun shone or hid its face. He had slept fitfully since their hour of wakefulness together in the night, and several times he had shown signs of extreme restlessness. At these periods he would talk incoherently, Agatha being able to catch ^only a word now and then. Once he'endeavored to get up, bent, apparently, upon performing soma fancied duty far away. Agatha soothed him, talked to him as a mother talks to a sick child, cajoled and commanded him; and though he was restless and voluble, yet he obeyed her readily enough. As the rain began to descend, Agatha bethought herself earnestly as to what could be done. She first persuaded James to drink a little more of the milk, and afterward took what was left herself—less than half a cupful. Then she set the bucket out to catch the rain. She felt keenly the neod of food and water; and now that there was no one to heed her movements, oho found it difficult to keep up the show of courage. She still'trusted in Hand; but even at best he might yet be several hours in returning; and cold and hunger can reduce even the stoutest heart. If Hand did not return —but there was no answer to that if. She believed he would come. The soft rain cast a pall over the ocean, so that only a small patch of sea was visible; and it flattened the lvim?y=flntil (lie blue flushing, wJute^ capped sea of yesterday was now a smooth, gmy {surface, touehed hero and ih'>r" by a bit of frothy scum. Agatha looked out through the deep curtain of mist, remembering the night, the Joanne D'Arc, and her recent peril. Most vividly of all sho heard In her memory a voice shouting, "Keep up! I'm coming, I'm coming!" Ah, what a Welcome coming that'had been! Was he to die, now, here on her hands, after the worst of their struggle was over? She turned quickly back to James, vowing In her heart it should nqt be; she would save him if it lay in human power to save. Her hardest task was to move their camp up into the edge of the brushwood, whero they might have tho shelter of the trees. There was a place, near the handle of the sickle, where the rock-wall partly . disappeared, and the undergrowth from tho cliff reached almost to the beach. It was from hero that Hand had begun his ascent; and hero Agatha chose a place under a clump of bayberry, \^fcero she could make another bed for James. The ground there was still comparatively dry. She coaxed James to his feet and helped him, with some difficulty, up to the more sheltered spot. He was stronger, physically, now in his delirium than he had b^en during his period of sanity in the night. She made him sit down while she ran back to gather an armful of the fir boughs to spread out for his bed; but she had scarcely started back for the old camp before James got to his feet and staggered after her. She met him just as she was returning, and had to drop her load, take her patient by the arm, and guide him back to the new shelter. He went peacefully enough, but leaned on her more and more heavily, until at last his knees weakened unde* hiin and ho fell. Agatha's heart sraofr* her. (TO B E CONTINUED.) What ages it was since she had sung that song! And this man, this James Hambleton, it appeared, had heard her sing it; and somehow, by fate, he had been tossed into the same adventure with herself; Unconsciously, Agatha's generous heart began to swell with pride in James* strength and courage, with gratitude* for his goodness to her, and with an aimost motherly pity for his present plight fcjfle would admit no more than that; but that,, she thought, bound her to him by ties jthat would never break. Ho would Tried Trick Once Too Often. A man of seventy-five, who of re cent years had extorUd money from charitable persons, in Paris, by pretending to commit suicide, has fallen a victim to his ingenuity. He used to fasten a rope, attached to the ceiling, about his neck with an easy running noose. Then, having knocked over the furniture, he would overturn the chair on which he was standing and remain hanging by the rope. Alarmed by the noise, the neighbors would rush in and cut htm down.- After using revived ho would depict his state of distress in such moving language that money would be forthcoming for his relief. Later he would repeat the trick in another house, invariably with success. But a few days ago^ when he was carrying out the trick, there was a hitch. No one went to his help and he remained hanging, being eventually cut down dead.

On the Mississippi river in olden days the passenger steamboats were very ornate affairs, vying with each other in garish glory. One owner hit on the idea of naming his steamboat's cabins instead of numbering them. So he named them in honor of tho states of the union, each having above the door the gilt title of some state, the big central cabin being called the "Texas," after the largest state. Other boat owners took up the idea, and thus the word cabin was gradually alternated by "state" room. Tor years the best cabin was still known as the Texas. Then, that sobriquet died with the ebbing glory of the old river steamers. But the word "stateroom" became incorporated into our language, and In time even broke into the .dictionary, a i does many another catch phrase. Not one person in a thousand who occupies a stateroom knows the term once meant "a room named for a state." Brightening Flower Pots.

Very often-it is some chance, some peculiar combination of circumstances, that pushes a man from the realm of decent, law-abiding prx>ple over the line into the alleged criminal class. This is particularly true of the more serious offences. The wardens of the penitentiaries wili tell you that the-quietest, best behaved inmates are the murderers. The reason is that very few murderers are hardened criminals. Their offense is usually one of sudden passion. That there are criminal natures there can be no doubt. Then? arc moral perverts, some of them practically incurable. For the good of society they should be confined somewhere away from other people. A l l the rascals are not in jail, nor all the straight, square men out of jail. The administration of justice will always be faulty so long as ft i.s merely a department of law which can look only at the deed done and can do no other than punish the offender or let him go. Criminology is a science and should be studied by scientific methods. A depraved taste, weak will or distorted moral sense needs a physician as much as does a had liver or a deranged mind.

Corning from a seclioja__of the. more attention than in the practical north. . I was surprised at the manners, or lack of manners, of the average street-car patron. To me it seemed little less than a crime for a man to occupy a seat while a woman was standing. Experience and observation have taughl me to modify this view and the average forced the conclusion that man is just a* considerate as the average woman* if not more so. I could name specific instances where women have "hogged it" on the street car* with their bundles and basket? and children and eccentricities of dress that would put to shame the veriest street-car hog of the masculine gender. And this reminds me that if ihe good women who are trying to reform the world through the press, at the clubs and by means of the ballot would devote more of their time to the nursery, where real manners and real morals are developed, there would be less need of complaint ,sgainst the frailties of mere man, for as the twig is bent so shall it grow.

She hummed a tittle tune and laughed from the joy of living as her father helped her up the steps of his Paris mansion. She loved Paris, loved the society, loved the gaiety of the French capital. New York and San Francisco were well enough—but there was. nothing to compare with Paris. She had come for a three months' visit and she was going to make the most of it. "It was glorious, wasn't it, father?" she beamed. "The lights, the gowns wan *'raneiseo society, caught her breath.

FRANK CRANE, Chicago There are dreams one forgets with^the head but remembers with the heart. The details of them leave us. It all is confused, blurred in the memory, as if clouds had grouped to form some clear picture and had instantly been blown all a-fangle by the wind. But the dream stavs on in the heart. Perhaps it was sad, all night we waded 'through heart breaking; and in the morning, though ihe pictures and words are pone, the aroma of them remains, and at no time of the day are we very far from weeping. Perhaps it was g ^ d , and though wc cannot remember the melody we sang in the dream, echoes of it keep failing aH through the hours of waking. It is as though the soul bad found, somewhere in the bounds of darkness, a secret pool of emotion, had fallen therein and come to the gates of morning dripping wet with some unknown feeding. We might make more allowance for what souls do when awake if we knew whither they had fared and what they had suffered in the caverns of sleep. Sometimes one is silent because one is full of these unspeakable memories, and words seem profane. Then he knows what the philosopher Publius Syrus meant: "Keep still or say something better than silence." Interest in vocational education is not confined to any particular part of the country. It is being stimulated, for example, in Philadelphia, where the Public Education association has l>een making a study of the occupations of youths who have left school to go to work and whose future might be infinitely brightened if they were permitted to continue their schooling part of the time. At a recent meeting of the board of directors of that body figures were given out showing that 43 per cent, of the children between the ages of fourteen-and sixteen years whoxare at work in Philadelphia are employed i n factories; 20 per cent, i n stores and 13 per cent, iji domestic servjee; only 3 per cent, of those employed are i n skilled trade* Forty-two who are at work get less than $20 and 710 get $6 or jnore a week. 1 " B e t t e r T r a i n i n g N e e d e d F o r Y o u t h By M.

She folded the paper and thrust it into the butler's hands. "Send it. Hurry,' she ordered and watched him until Ire left the room. "But, Adele—" her father began. "Please don't argue," she smiled. "It Is settled." "But where is this Iquitos place, and why should anybody go there?" "I haven't the slightest idea," she said firmly. "Then why in the aame of commo/i sense--" "Because peorge evidently wants me to." That's how It came about that Mrs I Converse, Dr. Converse and their i three-year-old baby Jack are today on ! a lUtle steamer, chugging up the Amazon river, on their way to Iquitos. Peru; threading the channel westward through a matted forest which howls with monkeys and flashes emerald and turquoise and is <-carlet with tropical birds and butterflies. They're going to the vortex of a loathsome whirlpool. Around them wild Indians will slay each other, brigands will rob; within a day's rido of fortune, determined to go back to civilization rich. Disease will be everywhere. Life can be bought for a pound of crude rubber. Money, money-- money at any sacrifice, that is the code in the forests about Iquitos. Would Brook No Delay. So quickly did she act, this daughter of a banker man3r times a millionaire, that she had her trunks packed and her passage to New York engaged before she received a letter from her husband, telling the details "of this expedition into the heart <9t the rubber forests of Peru. Comforts, luxuries, entertainments; without regret she turned from them to go to fight side by side with her husband who had been chosen by the Peruvian government to bring health into the most disease-ridden city in the world. As for his going alone—that was impossible. In the first place, Mrs. Converse wouldn't have consented to a separation for two years. In the sec- -oiui. hlo duHub in Death's favorite rec^ r«aticn ground were such that' he would need the aid of his wife. Before accepting the Peruvian mission. Dr. Converse talked the matter over with his brother officers in the service. They told him that his ojiI.v chance to live to clean up a tropical pesthole that is menacing health at the Panama canal would be to set up in Iquitos a personal establishment, governed by the strictest rules of hygiene. He must live In a rat-proof and insect- proof house, which must be kept, sterilized from top to bottom to kill the death 'loafing in the miasmic air of the jungle. Utensils must be scalded always before use; all food must, be cooked, except fruit, which must bp scalded; cooked food if touched by a fly or other insect, must be thrown away; clothing must he oare- ! fully sterilized, and only certain fab I rics must be worn; the hom-e. of j course, must be kept scrupulously ! clean. Love Called for Sacrifice. Money could not buy the sort of household service the preservation of Dr. Converse's health and life would demand; pnly love could be relied upon to give such service, never to slip in its adherence to the scientific' rules of hygiene. So he must take his young wife with him to the plaguestricken city. Her work in maintaining a sanitary household in Iquitos would be fully as important a part of the government mission as h<-r husband's— and furty as dangerous. Dr. Converse didn't need the $1,000 a month the Peruvian government contracted to pay him for two years' service. The Converse family is well known in California and has lands and wealth in abundance, and young George Converse went into the'public health and marine hospital service because he wanted to amount to something; * because a life of uselcssness held no charms for him. "Suburb oft Hell." Men who have come out of Iquitos alive call it "a suburb of hell." There are no "old inhabitants" in Iquitos. They talk of events of a year ago and believe they are discussing history. Men visit Iquitos as a river visits a Funken treasure ship; they enter the city as a fireman enters a burning building, ready to flee as soon as they find that which they seek. The rubber trade must bear the blame for this. When Charles Goodyear discovered the process for turning crude rubber into an article 'of commerce there was a wild rush of adventurers into the forest regions cf South America. Here gold grew in trees. Rubber gathering is slow work, impatience brought out the brute in these men. They madej slaves of the Indians who lived in the montana, as (he forest region is called. Whispered tales began to come out of the Amazon rubber district," especially from the Putumayo district at the northern end of it—blood curdling tales of barbarous cruelties and tortures— old women locked into , cribs and starved to death because they were too feeble to gather the quota of rubber their drivers demanded of them; babies cut in two with one stroke of the machete when their mothers protested that they must. . —r—tnur& e them instead of working at'the rubber free*; men slaves shot dead or beaten or maimed with tortures. After the rubber seekers followed the merchants, the dealers and bro- Kere in rubber. These pitched a camp on a dry bank of the Amazon at the eastern edge of the rubber district. The camp became tbe village of Iquitos, the town the city of IquitoB with 15,000 population. No Move for Public Safety. The newcomers, adventurers, were too engrossed in their struggles to get rich to take public measures of safety. There were no sewers; no effort was made to keep the city clean. The streets grew foul with refuse, decaying food and pools of stagnant water. Occasionally the torrential rains of the tropics washed the tilth down into tjie river, but for the most the Mat city steamed and festered under the 'eQtiator. Horrible pestilences swept off the t population. Swarms of flies, mosqui- | toes, rats and other vermin spread i the contagions. On the health charts 1 the city is today marked with the yellow star, indicating that yellow fever always exists* there. Iquitos is the only community of any gize left j on ca.'th where yellow fever is enj demic. Of the three members of the fami ily, the two years of exile probably will be most irksome to little Jack Converse, who will have no children ! of his' own age for playmates.

S O M E T H I N G O F A B L E S S I N G At Leatt Mother Was Convinced That Her Loss of Fortune Was Not Altogether a Curse. A charming xourg woman began her married life \\rt.h an income which not only met but also permitted of tying in a generous bow with beautiful flowing ends. When the eldest of her three children was nine years old Kortune turned upon them a decidedly cold shoulder. "Well, you must at least admit that it is dreadful for the children," insisted a friend who had tried in vain to make this mother express selfpity over her change of circumstances. "But I have come to the conclusion that it is about the best thing that could have happened to them," answered the mother with a smile. "They were becoming selfish and dissatisfied." one day an humble neighbor of her simple, new environment gave the mother a small, common geranium from her garden bed. When the children came home from school they helped her plant it in a cheap earthen pot. They placed it in the sunniest window. They tended and watched it, counting each new leaf and each swelling bud. "How are you all?" inquired the consoling friend pityingly, meeting the children. "Thank you. we are all well." answered the little girl happily, "and, oh -you just ought to see our red geranium—there are actually fourteen blossoms on it!" And the former friend beheld the glimmering of a wonderful truth of which she had never before dreamed. —From the Housekeeper. Organ Plays in Three Places. An American firm of organ builders has recently completed in Zion City, 111., a pipe organ which is even larger than the famous one in the Salt Lake City tabernacle, and which possesses many new features in its construction, says Popular Mechanics' Magazine, in an Illustrated article.. This giant musical instrument is really three distinct organs controlled, if desired, from the main console or keyboard. Two hundred feet from the choir organ, in the gallery at tbe entrance, is an echo organ operated from the main keyboard during processionals.

Desvois, at the corner of the Rue d* la Grande Truanderie. They ordered a bottle of wine, and went upstairs for a game of 'billiards. Of the two doors in the billiard-room, one opened into the bedroom', whilst the other led to the entrance in the Rue de la Grande Truanderie. After half an hour Mu,e. Desvois, not hearing the noise of the billiard balls, went upstairs, and, to her surprise, saw the door of the bedroom ajar. At that moment one of the men came forward, and Mme. Desvois, convinced they were burglars, called for help. At her shrieks the three fellows rushed out, knocked her over, and ran away. Two oi them escaped unseen, by the back door, but the third found himself in the Rue de la Grande Truanderie followed by a crowd attracted by the woman's cries. On the point of^being overtaken, the man drew a revolver, fired at a youth who had seized his coat tails, and shot him down. The mad chase continued towards the Rue Pierre-Lescot, where he fired again, killing a cabinet-maker called Martinot. M . Botteiier, an employe, was his third victim; for the poor man, with a bullet in the groin, died on his way to the hospital. The murderer sped along, brandishing his weapon, when a M. Guyomard caught him piuckily by the throat and felled him to the ground. The police had the greatest trouble to prevent him from being lynched. With his clothes torn to shreds, and bleeding from several wounds, he was first conveyed to the police-station In the Rue des Prouvaires, and afterwards brought before me. He was a short, thick-set, determined- looking man with a strongly- <tev«i«ped jaw, and a r.urkma_ hard [ hfcfar« ton -much n-mnmhv 'in wntrterfon Mangin, it should be remembered that this gentleman had spent about a third of his life in prison. He and Plessis belonged to the worst class of criminals. But I had had frequent opportunities of noticing that one chord, that of friendship, w^uld vibrate in men of even that stamp; and It was on that I based the experiment! was about to make, y expression in the eyes—the type of the brute. He gave his name as Crampon; and we discovered that under the name of Bonfantini he had already undergone several long terms of imprisonment. When I asked him for the names of his accomplices he looked at me with an ugly grin. "What fort To* obtain favors? No, thank you. 1 am not going to harm ttifem. 'Besides, I am-sick of everything. I want to bo 'butte " * "Are you Borry you killed these poor men?" "Sorry? Not I. Or, rather, I am sorry; for I had still two shots in my revolver; and, but for that meddling idiot, you would not see me here today." I did not prolong this conversation, and waited till the next day, when I bad him once more brought before me, aud again questioned him <U)out his aerumplices. "Save yourself the trouble," be said with a sneer, "you'll get nothing out of me. 1 want to be 'butte/ " Crampon had a sweetheart, a certain. Maria Thouveuin, then lying i i l at the- Charite hospital. I searched her room, and found a uniform of a private in the Fourth Infantry, which I took away with me The excitement in Paris, when that horrible murder became known, was intense and the press clamored for tho arrest of the two men who accompanied Crampon on that fatal afternoon. "Unfortunately, Mme. Desvois was unable to give me their description, and none of my men, although well acquainted with the criminals and their haunts, could supply any clue. I seat for Inspector Larose—an experienced official—and described to him a fellow I had seen some months ago with Crampon enter a bar. Larose thought a long time and then said: "Well, sir, I think I know the man, hut I doubt whether he belongs to the Crampon gang." "1 defaulter!" served my tinier ment, too." "Where?" "In the Fourth Infantry "What has become of form?" "My uniform? My uniform? I—-must have lost it." "I think I have found it. Undo that parcel in "the corner, and put on the coat and trousers." He did so, and they fitted him like a glove. "You left them with Maria Thouvenin," I said, "and you had better make a clean breast of it." He reflected a moment, and then confessed having been with Crampon on the day of the murder; but, like Crampon, he positively refused to give the name of the other man. "I'll tell you all about myself. M." Goron, but I'll never round on my pal, no, never. And I'll bet you'll never catch him either." . "We will see about that," I replied. The following morning I sent again for Inspector Larose. "Larose," I began, "Plessis two years ago broke his leg, and was nursed at Mangin's house by that man's sister. They are great pals?" "Yes, sir. And he even wanted to marry the girl. "Right. Then arrest Mangin for being implicated in this affair and bring him here at once." "I beg your pardon, sir, but I am certain Mangin had nothing to do with this business." "So am I; and that is why I want you to bring him to me." No doubt it seems horrible that I should arrest a man I knew to be Innocent. But I saw no other way of laying my hands on a desperate character, who, at any moment, might have slipped through my fingers. And. Mangin had^becn so often in custody that he dici'not look^11¾¾*t when he was marched into my offfce. And as he kuew he was innocent of the crime imputed to him, he could afford to be sarcastic. "What'.s the use" he said, "of hauling me in, when the fish who did the mischief is stiil swimming about? was not in this affair." "That remains to be seen." "I was not in this affair," be repeated violently. "Hold your tongue. You and Plessis were both in i t " After 1 had worked him to a high pitch of excitement 1 seat for Plessis, and then witnessed a curious scene, the one on which i had reckoned. When Plessis was ushered in, and saw Mangin, he seemed dumbfounded, but he greeted him heartily with a; "Boa jour, moa v'ieuxV The other glared at him, ' Y o u are a nice kind of friend.** he hissed, "to denounce a pui you kaow to be innocent. You scoundrel!" "I swear/' shrieked Plessis, "I never mentioned your name' Ask M . Goron —ask hiim" "He speaks the truth," I interposed; "he refused to give me the aame of the third man who went with Crampon til at afternoon to the Rue Saint- Denis; but, as 1 feel sure you, Mar.gin, are that man, 1 had you arrested." Mangin growled and turned on Plessis, "Ain I to understand that in order to screen* a pal of yours wh^ took part in this business you actually let me, your best friend, suffer?" If at that moment a member of the JfYench academy, whose duty it is to "It is Joseph Simetiere. And now don't ask me anything else—for I shall not answer." He then looked expectantly at Mangin, and the two shook hands. 1 rang the bell. "This man," I said, pointing to Mangin, "is to be released." And he walked away, proud at having only been three hours in custody, a thing which, 1 arn sure, had never happened to him before. Joseph Simetiere was a dangevr ui bandit. No time had tQ be lu.:, : i>' that same night I went in s:vrrh o. him, accompanied by two of my men. I knew Simetiere was a frequenter of a )ow darning phu-e in the Rue Montagne-Saintt-Cerievieve, where the worst characters congregated. At au easily hour I wait there uiih my companions, whom 1 le!t a litthj distance off, ^nd walked straight into a small ooin, from which, through a window closed by a curtain, everything could be seen that went on hi the hall. This closet bore the curious name of •'the Grau'd Duke's observatory," for it was from there that two of the Russian grand dukes had once watche(| the eniertainment. "Do you expect Joseph Simetiere tonight?" I asked the proprietor, who iiad every re;i.co:i to assist the police. "Yes, he conies here constantly. Hut his pals are always with him, and in"your stead 1 would——" "Thank you. 1 do not want-your advice. Stay here, and tell me when he er.rers." After an'hour he called out: "Here he is!" ^Simetiere, a sinister-looking scoundrel, with three men and a woman, all desperate characters, sat down, ordered drinks, and started a conversation, which, above the squeak of fiddles and the thumping of feet, I could not hear. It was fortunate I had taken the precaution of locking the door, for the woman crossed the hall, and —I do not known for what reason— tried to come in. When I saw the fellow rise. I stole out, and joined my companions, whom I conducted to a dark doorway by which SimeUcro had to pass. "it is no good making a selection,' I whispered to my men, "we must take our chance." A few minutes after midnight we saw Simetiere come down the Btreet. One of his friends walked by his side; the others were a few yards behind. The instant the two were level with us we rustied at them and before they could utter a cry they were bound, thrown into a cab. and taken off. other, man we had arrested was would have been horrified, For I aud these two men were talking "the "He may or he may not. I noticed i expurge every strange word from our his hair; it was cut short and looked | age, had entered my room he as if he'had Just lefMhe^xejfiment/' " Larose looked up. "I begin to see it now, sir; it would ,#*een tongue —a* it is called here— be funny if he turned out to be our t h ® B l a n S ^ which Paris criminals feel man. Hts name is Gedrges Plessis, 8 0 m u c a m o r © at home than in honest and he hi employed in a wineshop in To the fact of my being able to converse in that queer idiom I attribute, in some measure, the influe n c e ! always have had over members of that class. "Two years ago," continued Mangin, "when you had come to grief, and the police——" Thevenin, an old offender, and this, as it turned out, proved a lucky haul, for the next morning, when Simetiere was brought before me, he scowled angrily, and said: "I am sure it is that coward Thevenin who has rounded on me; .and 111 be even with htm. Yes, 1 was in the affair of the Rue Saint-Denis; but Thevenin, that, ugly rat, was the third man." This was at variance with what PlessiB had told me. But instead of doubting Simetiere's statement I guessed that Plessis had only told me half the truth and that, there was a fourih. My supposition proved correct, for. having confronted Crampon with the other three, it. turned out that while Crampon, with Simetiere and Thevenin had gone to the billiardroom in the wine-shop, Plessis had kept watch outside, which accounted foi' the fact that no one had seen him. The public were delighted when it was ,announced, that the men in connection with the Rue Saiut-Dcnis crime were in custody; but 1 was not .satisfied. Crampon was the head of a gang who had been, or were still, commilting depredations, and I could not rest until that whole pack had been routed. And I may remark here that the post of chief of the Paris detective police is not a bed of roses. He certainiy disposes of men in whose courage he can place reliance; hut when a, dangerous expedition on a big scale is planned, the chief has to place himself at their head and risk his life— like they do. I had also io overcome a serious difficulty, that of laying my hand on the whole lot in one swoori for I knew full well that if 1 caught, only two or three the rest would disappear, and I Bhould have to start a iresh hunt, I, therefore, sent for La.trfile, an active young officer, who possessed the talent of disguising himself in such a marvelous manner that t often failed to recognize him when I met him i,n one of the passages of the prefecture. I instructed him to watch the gang, and keep me informed of their movements. Their favorite meeting-place was a low tavern in the Rue Aubry-le-Boucber. A few days later, LatrUte told me that the whole gang were to meet that evening, whereupon I made all my arrangements. v.. the Rue du Bac/' "AH right; let u* go there at once.** Twenty minutes later we alighted and enquired after PfessU.

But I want to ask •Slamng term for "guillotined/' "Shut up, you fool/* shouted the angry Plessis. "I shan't shut up, you white-livered sneak.

And you shall know something about t h i s - — " "Stop your talk," bawled Plessis, wiping the perspiration from his forehead, "I gifce in; it's no use fighting any longer. M .

Three were overpowered before they could make u«e of their weapons; but the others fought like savages. One, with a knife between his teeth, had barricaded himself behind a table, and fired revolver shots at us; while the other two, armed with huge knives, threw themselves upon those nearest to them. Brunei received an ugly gash in the thigh, and poor Larose was shot in the leg. Suddenly one of my men shouted: "I^ook out, sir." I turned quickly, and saw a fellow, who had been hiding underneath a table, pointing a pistol at me. But the arm that held it was caught, wrenched backward, and, with a howl, he fell on the floor. In less than five minutes everything was over, and my prisoners, carefully handcuffed, were conveyed to the prefecture. Then came the day of reckoning. Crampon and his a -complices were committed for trial. Of the eight who were arraigned, no v en were sent to penal servitude; but Crampon, the murderer. Wua sentenced to death. The latter] w-ho had told me twice that he wanted"" to be. as he__ called it, "butte," ^ d hoped that his sentence would beVominufed to transportation lor life; bu\ on the sixteenth of December, in Uhe iifternoon, I was ofrdally informed that his execution would take p!aceMhc following day. At five o'clock the. next morning, Doiblcr, the executioner, arrived on the Piace de la Rouquette to build up the guillotine; and punctually at seven T followed M. Beauquesne, the governor of the Roquette prison, into Crampon's cell. The examining magistrate, the police commissary of the Roquette district, two other officials, and three warders accompanied us. When we entered, Crampon, who was sitting on his bed, turned livid. "Crampon," said M. Beauquesne, "the moment of expiation has arrived." The condemned man tried to speak, but we heard nothing but a rattling sound. The warders helped him to dress, and we left him alone with the G O O D - B Y E T O A N O L D P I A N O One by one, so as not to awaken : priest, the Abbe Valladon.

A villanons-looking man hfeir and shirt around the shoulders, and pinioning him. When Crampon felt the cold steel of the scissors on his neck, he shuddered, and uttered a faint cry. A few minutes later the heavy doors of the prison were thrown open, and the sad procession appeared. First came Deibler, and behind him Crampon, supported by two of the execugrabbe" d a woman by the throat, and, jtioner's assistants.

What I have in mind is the sentiment that attaches to things or places wi|h which one has been associated for a long time." "Well," said tbe. soatmatet, "my experience is this. T find that when I have been associated with 'things' a long time, they wear out, and in nine cases out of ten the only sentiment J can scare up is intense annoyance. Take my typewriter machine as a cape in point. The 'sentiments' that I harbor for that hoary piece of mechanism would melt the type, should I endeavor to reduce them to print."

A l l the youths of the neighborhood were gathered in the family silling room, around one of those 'horseless pianos' that my in-laws have just acquired. As the poets say, 'joy reigned supreme.'

"You make the same mistake every day, don't you?" asked the fellowtraveler, innocently. "You always call your monologues 'conversations. " The tall commuter grinned. "What I want to show up is their inhuman indifference to the faithful old jiiano that has withstood their combined poundings. There it stood in a corner of the piazza, where they had obligingly rolled it so as to facilitate the work of getting rid of it when the firm from which they had bought the new piano should send for the worn-out old giant the next day." "Well, yeu know, they do worse to square pianos than stand them out on nioflb dry porches nowadays/1 announced the unsympathetic auditor; "Why. I read not long ago about a manufacturer who burned up five hundred of them out in his back lots. It was bad for the* pianos, but good for business, you know." "I'm not one to block the wheels ot progress, yon know that," said tbe tall commuter, "but I would have liked it If even one of the youngsters had remembered the good times that old piano had given him or her.

"Did they pint: any better than you say they do now.'" breathed the listener, guardedly. As usual, the tall commuter ignored him. "My wife." he went on, "felt just as I did about It, and when we were going home we shut the door on that crowd of vandals and went around to tbe^fcide of the piazza to take a goodbye look at the old piano."* "I thought your eyes looked a trifle red this morning," said the unfeeling confidant. "If I didn't know you to be a thousand per cent belter than you sound, I'd rather choose another seat for my daily t r i p " announced the tall commuter. "Well, we went around to say good-bye to the old piano, and my wife told mo the first flowers I ever sent her were lying on the piano when she came in from school—yon know, Fhe used to teach. They were Hlies-of-the-valley, and it was deep winter. I dor.'t remember having luncheon downtown for a month after buying them." "For a sentimentalist, your memory cf the flowers seems material enough." "Then, I had forgotten this, but my wife says «he had just stopped play* ing when I asked her to marry me." "An uncontrollable burst of gratitude on your part, I dare say," chuckled the Philistine. "Say," anonunced the tall commuter. "I'm going to finish these remarks about my in-laws' old piano, whether you like it or not. We, well, we finished our adieus, and started home, when my wife ran back.

'Claim to Repeal Present Mortgage Tax Law Would Work Hardship to Many People. •Discussion of plans for resisting efforts to repeal the state's mortgage tax law engaged the attention of memhern of the legislative committee of I>etroit real estate board. Definite lines for the campaign were not decided on, but the sentiment expressed indicates the board "will make a strong fight in defense o f the tax law, on the ground that the interval during which it has been in operation has been too short for a fair test of its merits. The legislative committee of the •board includes C. M. tHarmon, chairman; Walter C. Woolley, William 32. Roney, Homer Warren and Richard <J. Lambrecht. President Judson Brad- >-ay, Secretary E. B. Tyrrell and others participated in the conference. In a-eforence to the attitude of the real estate board President Brad way says: "We feel that the law has not been in operation long enough to be tried out properly. It has worked very satisfactorily in other states and we be- Sieve the least we can do is to see that lit is given a chance in Michigan." "To repeal the mortgage tax law *will simply make a let of liars and trodks out of people, because no man "will allow anyone to rob him if he knows about it," says Thomas H . Welch, of Welch Bros. "It is simply legalized highway robbery when the Oaw requires a full rate of taxation on land and a full rate of taxation on the mortgage covering the same land." Figures from the auditor general's oflicfe show that since tire mortgage tax law has been in operation, about Teaching Farmers, The subject of scientific agriculturo has taken such a hold upon the farm-" ers ;;nd fruit growers oi' western Michigan that classes are being organized for the purpose ol' systematic study. Short courses under the auspices of the agricultural college have been announced for five high schools. But even those courses do not seem to be sufficient, and Supt. A. H. Clark, of the Kingsley school has evolved a plan which, he believes, will help fill the demand. Beginning with February 3, he will conduct a Monday night school for the farmers living close to Kingsley. The course will be made to appeal to practical men and will be arranged to meet their specific need*. To start, stress will be placed upon those parts of chemistry, minerology, zoology, plant life, and physical geogranjiy as relate to farming, that the farmer may see the value of these sciences in connection with his vocation. This is the first night school for farmers in the western Michigan territory and the result of the experiment will be closely watched that other schools may be started if this is a success.

Says State Can't Own Railway. A resolution offered in the house of representatives that a committee of five be named to confer with the attorney general as tp the steps to be taken for the state of Michigan to own and operate the Pere Marquette railroad, caused a furore in the house. The resolution was offered by-Rep. Henry Glasner, of Barry, and followed the statement of Gov. Ferris in The Journal Monday that he would like to see this railroad under state ownership. The house adopted the resolution first, but Rep. Charles Flowers, of Detroit, moved that it be reconsidered. Flowers assorted that the state lias not the right to own and operate railroads. After some confusion the house reconsidered the Glasner resolution and (hen tabled it. A fight to take it off the table is said to be certain. Call for Oleo in State Institutes. There is a* possibility that an attempts ill be made ihi-ri-ng tho prooent Time for Recall, Says Martindale. In an address before the members of Capitol Grange, in Lansing, Secretary of State Martindale declared himself in favor of the Initiative, ret*- '•erendum and recall. He said the time .lias passed in Michigan when the politician can tell tho people what measures are best for them. "I believe the time has arrived w h e n , the electors should have the right to recall an*' official who is derelict in his trust of•conserving thoir j best interests," sakl Martindale, "and j at any time when the legislative power ! does not respond to the demand of the j people in regard to the enactment of j •legislation essential to the conserva- | tion of their property and well being j then I believe the people should have I the right to initiate such legislation. j '"I do not think, however, that the j initiative should be the usuaT way of j prompting legislation, but it should certainly be a means by which the \ /people can secure desired legislation when their represctnatives either refuse to act or are ignorant of the people's real needs." session of the legislature to repeal the luw prohibiting the use oi* oleomargarine in stale institutions. Secretary Marl T. Murray of the state board of corrections and charities has made inquiries throughout the country and finds that only six states in the union, including Michigan, have laws prohibiting this use of oleomargarine. With the exception of Dr. Pierce of the state sanitorium and Quartermaster Phillips of the soldiers' home, the officers of most of the state institutions believe that it would be better to use a high grade of oleo rather than cheap butter.

Broad's fiancee was to arrive that evening on tho 10:10 from Washington, and Broad, who had been celebrating in honor of the event, was telling us all the details of their recent quarrel and reconciliation. "Sh-h!" said some one; and just then a boy entered with a late edition of the "Planet,* wet from the press, and handed it to Dunning. "Mr. Broad!" he said sharply, and then, changing his mind, left his seat and hurried toward us. "Mr, Broad, I want you to go out to Crayfield instantly. The 10:10 from Washington has been wrecked outside the station. Hurry, and telephone all tho news. And say, try to get a list of the dead." "My God!" said Broad, and sank down into his seat. He buried his face in his hands and his shoulders shook convulsively. Somebody explained the situation in a few words, and Dunniug's face took on an expression of intense sympathy. He placed one arm about Broad's shoulders and dre^^lrrra to his feet. "Too bad, old man/' he said. "But I guess you'll be crazy now unless you get to Crayfield as soon a3 possible, so perhaps it would, be the kindest thing to let you cover the assignment." "Yes, I'll go," cried Broad, pulling himself together. ' y Then, one after another, he detailed us; one to the railroad offices, another to the president's house, another to catch the general manager at his club. I was among the few not assigned and, retreating to my desk, waited. We did not like to think about the subject.

Three-quarters of an hour elapsed. Dunning sat stiffly at his desk, writing indefatigably, glancing; over flimsies and casting copy aside. His face was blanched; the situation seemed to have affected him as much as any of us. Once in a while the telephone would ring, but it was always local news or a report from some of the men on assignment. There was no word from Broad. "If she's among them," began Kemp —and we knew he meant the dead— "Broad won't telephone." "O yes, he will," I answered confi dently; and at that moment the telephone rang so sharply that somehow 3 knew it was Broad calling from Crayfield. Dunning took up the receiver and held it to hie car a moment. Then he called me. "It's Broad," he said. "He's calling and says he has a good story. Don't go into a booth; take it down hero. I've, told him to go slow. And say/' he added, "don't let him get away without giving you the list of the casualties." I took up the receiver and at the first sound I knew that Miss Phayre was safe.

Just a trivial injury, thanks, old man The 'Planet' story was incorrect. Now then." I began taking down the story, while Dunning looked over my shoulder.

There are no gears—just a fibre faced wheel running against a liriclion disc. This eliminates jerks in starting. This remarkable simplicity makes disorders practically impossible. This transmission gives a pulling power that will take the car easily through bad, muddy and sandy roads and even up oO per cent grades. With the chain in oil drive there is no w«ste of power. The self starter makes starting easy. Three Rtrong brakes give absolute safety under any conditions. Many other features just as good.

In a statement issued the department of commerce and labor, .takes direct issue with t^e dealers' association which holds that the advance in price of meats is due to a shortage of cattle. Not since 1907, according to the department, have receipts of cattle been so great as in April of this year. In their statement the dealers said: "The rise in prices is due to a shortage in shipments from the west. The production of native steers is said to be 25 per cent less than it was a year a'feo. The consumer is bearing the brunt of these conditions." As to the receipt of hogs the report states:- "The receipts in April of this year for hogs show a considerable increase; and the number of sheep received is likewise greater than the number received in any April during the past decade;" T H E M A R K E T S . *• Detroit —Cattle — Extra dry-fed steers and heifers, $8@8.l'5'( steers and heifers, l.OOO to 1,200 ibs, $7.25@7.75-: -ateff*-^mi heifers, 800 'to 1,000 lbs. ¢6.15(9)7.50; grass steers and heifers that are fat, 800 to 1.000 lbs, $5.25@ 6.75; grass steers and heifers that are fat. 500 to 700 lbs, $4Co>6; choice fat cows. $5.5U(ftG: good f-Mt cows. $4.25® 6: rommon rows.

Dawson's time for the 500 miles was 6 hours, 21 minutes and 6 seconds, an average time of 78.71 miles an hour, a new mark for the distance on any kjnd of road or track. The average time made last year was 74.6 miles. Blows Self Up With Dynamite. Otto ?ourmala, aged 32, a farmer residing near Calumet, ended his life by blowing himself to pieces with, a stick of dynamite. Tourmala had been in ?poor health for several months, and during the past few dayfe had apparently given up all hope of recovery. His parents found the young man's body in the yard terribly mangled.

"Give me your ticket," the conductor finally reached the Hebrew. "Comp'ny," said the little fellow, looking carelessly out of the window. "What company?" asked the conductor.

Miss Enid Maitland was a highly specialized product of the tar east. \ say far; viewing Colorado as a point of departure, not as Identifying her with the orient The classic shades of Bryn Mawr hadheen the "Groves of, Academus where with, old Plato she bad walked!." Incidentally during her'completion of the exhaustive curriculum of (hat Justly famous institution she had acquired at least a bowing acquaintance with xjther masters of the mind. N6r nad the physical In her education been sacrificed to the mental. In her at-least the mens sana and the corpore sano were alike in evidence. She had ridden to hounds many times on the anise-scented trail of the West Chester Hunt! Exciting tennis and leisurely golf had engaged her attention on the courts and4 greens ot the Merlon Cricket club. She had buffeted •'Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waste" on the beach at Cape May and at Atlantic City. .Spiritually, she was a devoted member of the Episcopal church, of the yarlety that abhors the word "Protesant" in connection therewith. Altogether she reflected great credit upon her .pastors and masters, spiritual and temporal and her up-bririgitig hi the" three departments of life left little to be desired. Upon her graduation she had been at once received and acclaimed by the •'Assembly Set" of Philadelphia, to which indeed she belonged unquesstand it or explain it. Bob Maitland must have been, they argued, a reversion to an ancient type, a throwback to some robber baron long antecedent to William Penn. And the speculation was true. The blood of some lawless adventurer of the past, discreetly forgot by the conservative section of the family, bubbled in his veins unchecked by the repressive atmosphere of his home and immediate environment. He had thoroughly identified himself with his new surroundings and had plunged into all the activities of the west. During one period of his life he had actually served as sheriff of one of the border counties, and It was a rapid "bad man" indeed, who enjoyed any advantage over him when It came to drawing his "gun." His skill and daring had been unquestioned, he had made a name for himself which still abides, especially in the mountains where things yet remained almost as primitive as they had been from the beginning. His fame had been accompanied by fortune, too; the cattle upon a thousand hills were his, the treasures of mines of fabulous richness were at his command. He lived tn Denver in one of the greatest of the bonanza palaces on the hills of that city, confronting the snow-capped mountain range. For the rest he held stock in all sorts of corporations, was a director in numerous concerns and so on—the reader can supply the usual catalogue, they are all alike. He had married late In life and was the father of two little girls and a boy, the oldest sixteen and the youngest ten. tloned by rightjpf birth and p o s i t i o n — G o i n g east, which he did not love, and there was no other power unaer heaven by which she could have effected entrance therein, at least that is what the outs thought of that most exclusive circle. The Old home of the Maitlands overlooking Rittenhouse Square had been the scene of her debut. In all the refined and decorous gaitles of on an Infrequent business trip, he had renewed his acquaintance with his brother and the one ewe lamb of his brother's flock, to-wit, the aforementioned Enid. He had been struck, as everybody was, by the splendid personality of the girl and had striven earnestly to disabuse her mind of the prevalent idea that there was nothing Philadelphia's ultra-fastidious society much worth while on the continent she had participated. She had even looked upon money standardized New York in its delirium ot extravagance, at least in so far as a sedate and wellborn Philadelphia family could countenance such golden madness. During the year she had ranged like a conquerer— pardon the masculine appellation— between Palm Beach in the south and Bar Harbor in the north. Philadelphia was proud of her, and she was not unknown in those unfortunate parts of the United States which lay without In all this she had remained a frank, <free, unspoiled young woman. Life was full of zest for her, and she enjoyed it with the most un-Pennsylvattian enthusiasm. The second summer after her coming out found her in Colorado. Robert Maitland was one of the big men of the west. He had departed from Philadelphia at an early age and had settled in Colorado while it was still tn tbe formative period. There he had .grown up with the state. The Philadelphia Maitlands could never underbeyond the Allegheny except scenery. "What you need, Enid, is a ride across the plains, a sight of real mountains, beside which these little foothills in Pennsylvania that people back here make so much of wouldn't be noticed. * You want to get some of the spirited, glorious freedom of the west into your conservative straights-laced lltfle body." "In my day, Robert/* reprovingly remarked his brother, Enid's father, "freedom was the Ias% thing a young lady gently born an>d delicately nurtured would .have coveted." "Your day Is passed, Steve," returned the younger Maitland with shocking carelessness. "Freedom is what every woman desires now, especially when, she is married. You are not In love with anybody, are you, Enid?" "With not a soul," frankly replied the girl, greatly amused at tbe colloquy between the two men, who, though mothered by the same'woman, were as dissimilar as—what shall 1 say, the east is from the west? Let it go at that "That's all right," said her uncle, relieved apparently. "I will take you out west and introduce you to some, real men and—" "If I thought it possible/' interposed Mr.. Stephen Maitland In his jmost austere and dignified manner, "that my daughter," with a perceptible emphasis on the "my," as if he and not the daughter were the principal being under consideration, "should ever so^ far forget what belongs to her station in life and her family as to allow her affections to become engaged by anyone who, from his birth and upbringing in the er—oh—unlicensed atmosphere of the western country would be persona non grata to dignified society of this ancient city and—" "Nonsense," interrupted the younger brother bluntly. "Y*e« have lived here wrapped up In yourselves and your dinky little town so long that mental asphyxiation is threatening you." "I will thank you, Robert," said his brother with something approaching the manner in which he would have repelled a blasphemy, "not to refer to Philadelphia - as-^-er—what was your most extraordinary word?" " 'Dinky,' if my recollection serves. "Ah, precisely. I am not sure as to the meaning of the term, but' 1 conceive it to be something opprobri ous. You can say what you like about me and mine, but of Philadelphia, no." "Oh, the town's right enough," re turned his brother, not at ail Im pressed. "I'm talking about people nowi There are just as fine men and women In the west as in New York or Philadelphia." "I am sure you don't mean to be offensive, Robert, but really the assoelation of ideas In your mention of us with that common and vulgar New York is er—un—pleasant," fairly shuddered the elder Maitland. "I'm only urging you to recognize the quality of the western people. I dare say they are of a, finer type than the average here." * ;*From your standpoint, no doubt," continued his brother' severely and somewhat wearily as If the matter were uot worth all this argument. "AH that I want of them Is that they stay In the west where they belong and not strive to mingle with the east; there is a barrier between us and them which It is not well to cross.^ To permit any intermixtures of er—race "Of course, of course," said Stephen Maitland, "you are your own mistress anyway, and having no mother—" Enid's mother had died in her infancy—" I suppose that I could not interfere or object if I wished to, but no marrying or giving in marriage. Remember that." ^Nonsense, father," answered the young woman lightly. "I am not anxious to assume the bonds of wedlock." "Well, that settles it," said Robert Maitland. "We'll give you a royal .good time. 1 must run up to New York and Boston for a few days, but I shall be back In a week and 1 can pick you up then." "What is the house In Denver; Is it er—may I ask, provided with all modern conveniences and—" began the fclder Maitland nervously. Robert Maitland laughed. "What do you take us for, Steve; do you ever read the western newspapers?" . "I confess that I have not given much thought to the west since 1 studied geography ahd-^-the Philadelphia papers have been thought sufficient for the family since—" "Good Lord," exclaimed Maitland. "The house cost h a l f ' a million dollars; if you must know it, and if there or-^ 0 -i • \ if* 4 vThe people out there are white, Steve," interrupted his brother sardonically. "I wasn't contemplating introducing Enid here to Chinese, or negroes, or Indians, or—" "Don't you see," said Mr. Stephen Maitland, stubbornly waving aside this sarcastic and irrelevent comment, "from your very conversation the vast gulf that there is between you and me? Although you had every advantage in life that birth can give you, we are—I mean you have changed so greatly," he had quickly added, loathe to offend. . But he mistook the light in his brother's eyes; it was a twinkle, not a flash.' Robert Maitland laughed, laughed with what his brother conceived to be Indecorous boisterousness. "How little you know of the bone and sinew of this country, Steve," he exclaimed presently. Robert Maitland could not comprehend how it irritated his stately brother tb be called "Steve." Nobody ever spoke of him but as Stephen Maitland. "But Lord, I don't blame you." continued the westerner; " A n y man whose vision is barred by a footbitt couldn't be expected to'1 know much of the main range and1 what's beyond." "There isn't any danger of my failing In love with anybody," said Enid at last, with all the confidence of two triumphant social seasons. "I think 1 must be Immune even to dukes," she said gaily. "I referred to worthy young^Amerleans of—" began her father who, to do him justice, was so satisfied with his own position that no foreign title dazzled him in the least degree. "Rittenhouse Square," cut in Robert }Maitland with amused sarcasm. "Well* Enid, you seem to have run the gamut of the east pretty thoroughly; come out and spend the summer with me In Colorado. My Denver house is open to you; we have a ranch amid the foothills, or If you are game we can break away from civilization entirely and find some unexplored, unknown canon In the heart of the mountains and camp there. We'll get back to nature, which seems to be impossible in Philadelphia, and you w i l l see things* and learn things that you will never see or learn an j where else. It'll do you good, too: from what 1 hear, going the pace and f yours are a little too r l ; you took tb< tilth and it He Crushed Her to Him and Kissed Her. is anything that modern science can contribute to comfort and luxury that Isn't in It, I don't know what it is. Shall it be the house In Denver, or the ranch, or a real camp in the wilds, Enid?" "First the house In Denver," said Enid, "and then the ranch and their the mountains." "Right-O; that shall be the program." "Will my daughter's life be perfectly safe from the cowboys, Indians and desperadoes?" "Quite safe," answered Robert, with deep gravity. "The cowboys no longer shoot up the city and It has been years since the Indians have held up even a trolley car. The only real desperado in my acquaintance is the mildest gentle old stage driver in the west" "Do you keep up an acquaintance with men, of that class still?" asked his brother In great surprise. "You know I was sheriff in a border county for a number or years and—"" - • "But you must surely have withdrawn from all such society now/' "Out west," said Robert Maitland, "when we know a man and like him, when we have slept by him on the plains, ridden with him through the mountains^ fought with him against some border terror, some bad ' man thirsting to kill, we don't forget him, we don't cut bis acquaintance, and it doesn't make any difference whether the one or the other of us Is rich or poor. I have friends who can't frame a grammatical sentence, who habitually eat with their knives, yet who are absolutely devoted to me and I to them. The man Is the thing out there." He smiled and turned to Enid. "Always excepting the supremacy of woman," he added. "How fascinating," exclaimed the girl. "I want to go there right away." And this was the train of events which wrought the change. Behold the young lady astride of a horse for tbe first time in her life in a divided skirt, that fashion prevalent elsewhere not having been accepted by the best equestriennes ot Philadelphia. She was riding ahead of a lumbering mountain* wagon .surrounded by other riders, wlrich was loaded' with baggage* drawn by four sturdy broncos and followed by a number of obstinate little burros at present unincumbered with packs which would be used when they got further from civilization and the way was no longer practicable for anything *n wheels. , . . / . , , Miss Enid Maitland was clad in a way that would bare caused ber lather ke of apogtay * ha oouia have been suddenly made aware of her dress, fit ahe had burst into the drawing- room VStSufcyt announcement, for instance. Her afcirt was distinctly short, she wore heavy hob-nailed shoes that laced up to her knees, she had on a bright blue sweater, a kind of a cap known as a tam-o-shanter was pinned above her glorious hair, which was closely braided and wound around her head. She wore a silk handkerchief loosely tied around her neck, a knife and revolver hung at her belt, a little watch was strapped to one wrist, a handsomely braided quirt dangled from the other, a pair of spurs adorned her heels and most discomposing fact of all, by her side rode a handsome and dashing cavalier. - How Mr. James Armstrong might have appeared in the conventional black and white of evening clothes was not quite clear to her, for she had as yet never beheld him tn that obliterating raiment, but In the habit of the west, riding trousers, heavy boots that laced to the knees, blue shirt, his head covered by a nobie "Stetson," mounted on the flry restive broncho which he rode to perfection, he was ideal. Alas for the vanity of human proposition! Mr. James Armstrong, friend and protege these many years of Mr. Robert Maitland, mine owner and cattle man on a much smaller scale than his older friend, was desperately in love with Enid Maitland, and Enid, swept off her feet by a wooing which began with precipitant ardor so soon as he laid eyes on her, was more profoundly moved by his e*Ht; or pursuit, than she could have imagined. Omne ignotum pre magnlflco! She had been wooed in the conventional fashion many times and joft on the sands of Palm Beach, along the cliffs of Newport, in the romantic glens of Mount Desert, in the old-fashioned drawing-room overlooking Rittenhouse Square. She had been proposed to In motor cars, on the decks of yachts and once even while riding to hounda, but there had been a touch of sameness about It all. Never had she been made love to with the headlong gallantry, with the dashing precipitation of the west. It had swept her from her moorings. She found almost before she was aware of it that her past experience now stood her in little stead. She awoke to a sudden realization of the fact that she was practically pledged to James Armstrong after an acquaintance of three weeks in Denver and on the ranch. Business of the most Important and critical nature demanded Armstrong's presence east at this juncture, and will-he-nill-he there was no way he could put off his departure longer^ ultimate day from his business demand to ride with her on the first stage of her journey to the mountains. He had to leave the girl with an uneasy conscience that, though he had her half way promise, he had her but half way won. He had snatched the C H A P T E R II. The Game Played In the Usual Way. The road on which they advanced into the mountains was well made and well kept up. The canon through the foothUis was not very Cfeep—fpr Colorado—and the ascent was gentle. Naturally It wound in ev*rya direction* following the devious Course of the river, which It frequently crossed from one side to the other on rude log bridges. A brisk gallop of half a mile or so on a convenient stretch of comparatively level going put the two in, the lead far ahead of the lumbering wagon and out of sight of those others of the party who had elected to go a horseback. There was perhaps a tacit agreement among the latter not to break In upon this growing friendship, or, more frankly, not to Interfere in a developing love affalrr The canon broadened here and there at long Intervals and ranch; houses were found In every clearing, but these were few and far between and for the most part Armstrong and' Enid Maitland rode practically alone save for the passage of an occasional lumber wagon. "You can't think," began the man, as they drew rein after a splendid gallop and the somewhat tired horses readily subsided into a walk, "how t hate* to go back and leave you." "And you can"tlhink how loath I ana to have you return/' the girl flashed out at him w^h^a-eKlelong glance from her bright blue eyes and a witching smile from her scarlet lips. "Enid Maitland/' said the man. "you know I Just worship you. fd^-**** like to sweep you out of your saddle, lift you to the bow of mine and ride away with you. I can't keep my hands off you, I—" Before she realized what he would be about he swerved his horse toward her, his arm went around her suddenly. Taken completely off her guard! she could make no resistance, Indeed she scarcely knew what to expect until he crushed her to him and kissed her, almost roughly, full on the Hps. "How dare you/' cried the girl, her face aflame, freeing hersefeat>^a^ and swinging her own horse almost to the edge of the road which here ran on an excavation some fifty feet above the river. "How dare I?" laughed the audacious man, apparently no whit abashed by her indignation. "When I think of my opportunity I am amazed at my moderation." "Your opportunity; your moderav tion?" "Yes, when I had you helpless C took but one kiss; I might have held you longer and taken a hundred." (TO BE CONTINUED.) N r .

PERKINS TH E common-sense point of view, it seems to me, is that as far as the working people, under present conditions, are able to benefit .from gymnastic exercises, just so far they are valuable to them. That, of course, applies .to any other class of people as well. A l l of which simply means that to a vast number of working people it is a matter of minor importance or of utter indifference because their principal need is for industrial conditions which are safe, and for higher wages and shorter hours, which would give them opportunity for mental and moral education as well as physical. To educate oneself i n any wayv means the expenditure of energy, and one must not/tfnly have the energy to expend, but must also have enough good sleep and happy leisure, which is not active, i n order to replace the energy used i n work and active play. I f the question is whether the large part of working class women have these things, the answer must be that they do not. The object of expending energy is i n the hope of getting something one wants; one's living, one's health, some one or other form of happiness; i f the struggle of life is too hard, then the lessened energy is used to secure the greatest instinctive desire, one's bare existence, and often there is not enough energy for that. T o use a part of that small and precious fund i n active play appeals, I think, very little to the working class, that is, to that part of it which expends most of its energy i n making a living. They crave something to relax the nervous tension, something which is "done to them" without much effort on their part. Hence i t is that there is so much drinking, loafing i n cheap theaters and so many vices of various kinds. However, I would not i n any way undervalue the usefulness of physical exercises for the many persons who are enabled by them to throw off morbid conditions and to p u l l themselves out of anemic conditions and get fresh starts i n life. The only objection, I should think, is the tendency to make them into a fad, and to give the impression that, given gymnastics, we have cured the sorrows of the world. I n other words, we must not put the cart before the horse, but remember that poverty and ignorance are the real evils to be coped with and we can have no real health while we have these. Anything, however, that w i l l strengthen us for the time being to play whatever part we have to play i n the world must be counted as useful.

They can easily bring about such a condition of affairs, as it is a simple matter. A l l they need to do is to increase the wages of the producers so they will have the money to buy back more of the things they have produced. That would relieve the present stringency and times would become easier. Those who own the machines that the workers use for producing certain articles are-all the time storing up more and more profits, and as they are i n the minority and the workers compose the vast inajority, the workers' proportion of obtainable money must necessarily diminish as fast as the wealth of the capitalist increases. When a panic comes the position of ihe capitalist is somewhat like that of the monkey who put his hand into a jar of nuts and got his hand so full that he was unable to withdraw it. The more selfish and grasping the money kings (and humanity at large) w i l l become the oftener we w i l l have times of depression and panics. A y F . N . B L A N G H A R D The Famous Little Boarding House on South Green Street, Chicago. HICAGO.—-Miss Margaret Murray, Chicago's model boarding house keeper, has retired from business after conducting a boarding house for BO years. She is eighty years old, and has as much money as she needs to keep her for the rest of her days. Fourteen men gathered at the little farewell banquet she gave recently at ber boarding house, at 122 South Green street, a dingy thoroughfare in the Permit no Honor to to brought into the houie. , Enforce good behavior, but allow your boarders plenty o | liberty.

Listen to their troubles. Give them advice when they ask i t Remember the boarding boubo is their honle as well as yours. Miss /Murray has given her best thought to her boarding house. She has turned hundreds of persons away who asked to become members of her family. She boasts that she never has had a dissatisfied boarder, and never lost a boarder except from death or matrimony. Hers was no boarding house where the "boarders yell when they hear the dinner bell." She became known as the best old-fashioned cook in Chicago. Each of her meals was an event in the careers of her boarders, who came to the table always with smiled of anticipatory joy. 3flss Murray's boarding house is a modest two-story brick, with basement, wedged in between two big factory Wildings. It was once j n the midst, of a residence district, but its neighboring residences have been torn down, one by one, and replaced by factories and business houses until Miss Murray's house has been left stranded high and dry, the one lone residence of the neighborhood. But, despite the dingy environment, Miss Murray's boarding house has preserved its prestige. Brisk despite her four-score years, and with her motherly face framed by snow-white hair, Miss Murray sat the other day after her retirement by one of her front windows and looked out into the street as if she wished one of her "boys" would swing open the iron gates of her small front yard and climb the front steps to supper. Feels Lonesome. "It's a lonesome world," she said. No one can know just how lonesome I fe*el. Many mothers lose their sons one by one. but mine have all gone away together. "Such a fine lot they were! They were like own sons to me-—always thinking of the things I should like, how to save me work, how to make me happy. Many a time I have lectured them.

They had been her boarders for terms ranging from 15 to 45 years. On that occasion, these boarders toasted their retiring landlady in coffee of her own brew, and called her "the paragon of boarding house keepers,'' "the most wonderful boarding house keeper in the world," and "the best boarding house keeper in all history." There are no statistics on boarding house keepers to test the exact truth of these encomiums. But the facts In the case would seem to prove beyond cavil that, even if Mrs. Murray were not tbe best boarding house keeper in history, she at least is to be numbered among the chosen few. Boarders Seldom Left Her. One may best judge the hold she had upon her boarders by the term of years each one has been with her. Here is the list of her boarders and the number of years each stayed: Case Stewart, official of the Chlcasociety, and commits other crimes while h c l *° & Northwestern railway, who be- J y . , - ^ m e a boarder with Miss Murray beought to have been serving time f o r e t h e Chicago fire, 45 years.

John Cassidy of the Central Trust company of Illinois, 22 years. Daniel O'Connor, broker, 20 years. Timothy Daley, policeman, 18 years. Michael Daley, his son, seventeen yeara old, 15 years. Edward Beal, buyer for a department store, 15 years. Dr. W. A. Quinn, 18 years. Dr. William H . McCarthy, 16 years. Prank Hoy, 15 years. Samuel Wilson, 15 years. Dr. Charles W. Imwall, 15 years. One perhaps might • wonder why there was no boarder who had been with her throughout the full 50 years she kept a boarding house. Miss Murry explained t b i s ^ t t h e banquet. "Michael O'FlaherQfv* she remarked, feelingly, "was my first boarder. 1 never knew a man who liked good coffee so well or could eat so much boiled ham as O'Flaherty. He sat at my table three times a day for 30 years. It was through no fault of his own that he Quit me. He died, poor for the first crime, is not the lawyer partly responsible for his crimes? The knowledge that they can hire great lawyers to defend them has given encouiagement to criminals all over our land. It is true, a lawyer owes a duty to his client, but i f he knows the client is guilty he has fully discharged his duty when he has made clear all extenuating circumstances, if-any there be, connected with the crime, and has made a plea for as light a sentence as the court can pass for the crime committeQ.

Right after the ffcneral OfBcer# Daley took his baby and went back to Miss Murray. He has been there ever since, and so has his boy. Then there was Inspector Wheeler. Several years ago the inspector's brother built himself a new house, and thought it would be fine to have the inspector live there with him. The inspector liked the idea of living with biB own. kin, but he put off going as long as possible. Finally he packed his belongings and stole away to his new home. Went Back to Miss Murray. . But he was i l l at ease in his new quarters. His brother and his brother's wife and his gay young nieces and nephews wondered to see him sit a philosopher. "I was born in Ireland," she continued. "But I came to this country when I was a small child. My parents settled in Iowa and later came to Chicago. I learned to cook from my mother. I started my first boarding house fifty years ago at 132 North Union street, in the heart of a railroad district. Twenty-eight years ago I bought my present house. "I have always done my own marketing and my own cooking. I think that is chiefly responsible for my success. Most people think men are hard to cook for. They are not.

"She was a transport and was one of the fastest steamers we had. She was one of a number of gunboats and unprotected river boats that made their way into Grand lake to land troops in General Banks' red river campaign.

The food served at Miss Murray's table seems to have woven a sort of hypnotic spell about her boarders. Some of them went away—or tried to —and in every Instance they came fluttering back like fascinated birds. Some of her boarders used to say that, once a boarder with Miss Murry, always her b6arder. Officer Daley's Experience. There was Onlcer Timothy Daley, for instance. He began boarding with Miss Murray 18 years ago. He dkUVt want to leave her, but he fell in love. The big policeman knew that if he married he would have to leave tbe the floor of his room until far Into the night. Then one morning his room in his brotber's luxurious home was found empty. The inspector had packed his things and gone back to Miss Murray's in the night. As a model boarding house keeper Miss Murray was no accident. She fitted herself by years of study, experiment and hard work. In her old age she is able to formulate certain rules which, she says, if lived up to rigidly will enable other boarding house keepers to achieve success. Here are some of the rules: Give everybody plenty to eat. Make the food plain and good. Make the table and house homelike. Don't run too much to style. A man would rather have a thick, juicy beefsteak than cut glass and fancy silver. Put everything on the table at once and let the boarders help themselves. Try to Please Them. Cater to individual appetites. If one wants his steak well done and another wants it rare, cook their steaks separately. Do your own marketing and make marketing a study. Make good coffee. Bad coffee has been responsible for more boarding house failures than any 1 other one thing. Have specialties In cooking—dishes that you cootp> differently from anybody else and that your boarders cannot get anywhere except at your own table. Do your own cooking, Have your table linen and dishes specklessiy clean. Never serve any dish that is not as good as you know how to make It If slightly burned or faulty in any respect, throw It away. Have plenty of hot water In the house at all times. Have a certain hour for meals, and serve them promptly on the hour. Keep your rooms clean, and have plenty of bedclothes in cold weather. Have all men as your boarders or all women. Never try to mix ins** and women. As boarders t f e ^ mix. Men are p r e f e r a ^ i w ^ | ^ | ; Mother your^me** " and sew i r likeeV-bfown gravy and plenty of i t It didn't take much longer to send the meat to the table the way they wanted it, and it didn't cost any more." DWn't Want Any Women. « "Why didn't you take in women as boarders?" Miss Murray was asked, "Men and women don't mix well in a boarding house," she replied. "If men don't care for the women they don't like them around, and if they do care for them there are sure to be unpleasant complications. I (decided at the outset to have only men as boarders. They are not so fussy as women. "I wouldn't have all women under any circumstances. Only women boarders would make any boarding house keeper's life a burden. They require too much waiting on, and are constantly fussing and raising a rumpus over trifles. I don't care to have them around." "Did you always^keep your boarders' clothes in order?" "Oh, yes. What's darning a few socks or doing a little patching? It didn't amount to anything, and It sort of rested me after the cooking. The boys didn't want me to do i t In fact, they complained a good deal about it at first, but I made them behave themselves about that as I did about everything else." "You acted as their guardian, then?" "In a way, yes. I treated them just as though they were my children. They had all. the liberty they Wanted, but I saw they didn't abuse it—and they never tried to. Most of my boarders came to me when they were just starting out in life. They were away from home and there were a great many temptations around tbem. It I saw any of them discouraged or disheartened or getting d little too giddy I just waited until there was a chance and talked over things with them. After such a talk the young fellows would stop to think,s attd when they Boiler Room and Magazine Blew Up. with water, and there was no current to mark their presence. It was high water when we landed troops on the shore of the lake. "Our boats were of different drafts. The large ones could not go near shore, and the smaller steamers lay between them and the shore, so that the soldiers could walk over them somewhat as If they were a pontoon bridge. We haJL several gunboats there, two of them, the Colorado and the Matagora, ironclad, and there were river boats and ferry boats. The Clifton was well armed and so waa the Calhoun, a ferry boat from New York, with a heavy gun at bow and at stern and two broadsides of four smaller guns each. "We were not allowed to stay in the lake without a visit from the enemy. A fleet of confederate boats came down the bayous from the Red river and disputed our position. The Queen of the West was the most formidable of them. ..She was a j a m , , though., not ironclad. The other boats were river steamers, with bales of cotton around their Bides and with guns pointing through apertures in the cotton guard. They were floating forts. "The Queen of the West came steaming down at us and in her path was one of our Ironclads. They told us afterward that the pilot had called out to the captain that they were headed for an iron boat and that the captain had sworn/to sink the boat evenX^t it was i r o i C They put on full steamNahead. jnxe water was like glass. T h ^ r e u t through It at a great speed and ran on a lot of submerged stumps. The bow was thrown high into the air and there hung the Queen of the West "The Calhoun and the Clifton took position, one on each side, and swelled, her. The Cadhoun, a sidewheeler, was kept swinging about without moving away from her position and firing broadsides or stern or bow guns as they came into range. The Queen of the West was game to the last and she returned the fire until her boiler room and magazine blew up. There was nothing left of her except a pile of wreckage, As soon as she blew up the rest of the confederate fleet, which had been doing a little firing, turned about and made for the bayous. They knew the channel and so escaped, but some of them were captured after our boats had made their way north." A Benediction. Gen.

On a certain evening in May my frierfd Dr. Everard and 'I werQ seated together in his private study. We. were engaged in an interesting discussion, and I was telling him of experiments which I had heeu fortunate in completing. "Yes," he said, thoughtfully, "I tfuily believe that there is a great future before this theory of treating disease by animal extract, and I shall be greatly surprised if it does not prove of signal use in the case of the insane. Brain disease is often due, I am sure, to, functional disturbance and consequent malnutrition of certain centers. We see this plainly in cases of epilepsy, hysteria, etc. If we can, therefore, ascertain where the brain is at fault, there is a rational deduction and line of treatment pointed out." He glanced at his watch and arose. "How, the time has flown," he said. "We have not a moment to waste. Hurry along to your room and get into your evening clothes, Halifax." : Pairlelgh Sanitarium is one of the most beautiful placet *">ite Plains, it possesses large, bea. v kept grounds, but on ordinary OCL ns the high surrounding walls, wrought iron gates and general air of seclusion cast a gloom over the scene. Dr. Kverard is much respected in the neighborhood. Fairleigh House belongs to him, he is known to be a very wealthy man, he is unmarried, and has turned his place into nothing more or less than a large lunatic asylum. Life at the sanitarium is all that is luxurious, and the restraint as light as possible. Everard is a great friend of mine, and I like to run down to see him whenever I can. On this occasion I was in time for-the annual ball. Once a year the beautiful place is thrown open, the dangerous patients are secluded, and those who are sufficiently well are allowed to sun themselves once more In the public gaze. Not only the splendid house itself, but the spacious grounds, too, are got ready for the reception of guests. Having dressed, I went downstairs. I lifted a curtain, nd found myself in the big ball room, ust within the entrance my eyes ighted on Everard and a particularly raceful, fair-haired woman of about thirty-five years of age engaged in conversation. He came forward to meet me. "Halifax," he said, "allow mo to introduce you to Mrs. Joliffe. Mrs. Joliffe, this is my old friend, Dr. Halifax." "I am very glad to .make your acquaintance, doctor," answered Mrs. Joliffe. She raised two sky-blue eyes to my face; a color of the faintest rose mantled her cheeks for a moment, then left them with a lovely creamy pallor. "What are you doing in your world now?" she queried, as Everard walked away. j "In .my world!" I repeated, startled by her tone, and the flashing light which came and went sin her eyes. "Ah," she said laughing, "have I Tiot seen you talking to Dr. Everard? fou know my story, or .at least some of it. You know that il.am a patient. I am leaving here next\week, however. Thanks to our good doctor's care I no longer belong to the iinsane memhers vOf the public. vNow- you understand why J<asked my;question. I do •not wish toXappear ignorant when I leave jherev plea^e^teU ;me what they are doing in the/6utside>RferJ I began to relate one or$wo of the topics rof the (lay. "How interesting," she said when I paused. "J shall enjoy -it all again. By tthe way.. Dr. Halifax, il 'know that you are a awited traveler and a physician who has lifted the curtain which shows the hideous reality of disease, mental er p^fiteaX Perhaps some day we may meet again, and it may be i n your power tp render me assistance." " I M t i s / y i replied, "you w®y irest assured I will do zny best to eexve you/* When I returned to town I found a letter awaiting me from my friend Lucian Maxwell. He and I had spent several months traveling together in Asia, and we were much attached to each other. "My dear Halifax," he wrote, "I am about to enter into the state of matrimony. I now claim the performance of an offer you once made to act m the capacity of best man, should occasion for your services ever arrive. We are to be married in three weeks, and as Laura has no settled' home," the wedding will take place from my residence at Ashley-on-Hudson. Please write at once to say you will be_on bajDJLon the 25th of June." . O n the afternoon of the 23rd I start* *ed for my friend's place, and in due time stepped off at the little railway station which was about two miles distant from the house, very fine o Its summer foliage. Thankful for the shade, I sat down for a moment under a tree, when I was startled by the sound of a woman's voice. I looked up, and then I sprang to my feet, for the bright blue eyes of Mrs. Joliffe were gazing at me. "Ah," she said, coming forward, *I thought it likely that you would take this short cut. That is well; I shall be able to have a little conversation with you before we join the rest of the visitors." "How do you do?" 1 ^akL am surprised to see you here." "I can easily account for my presence,", she answered; "but before I say anything more I want you to promise that you will not tell anyone where you last saw me." "I will do as you wish;" I Teplied. "There is no reason why I should ^betray your secret." "That^is well. You fcave promised faithfully, remember^-£--a>m here as-a guest, and not a soul in the house knows my previous history. When I knew you were coming here, I managed to meet you first, so that I could' ask you to keep silent. You wonder why I am here—I wfll tell you. My daughter Laura is to marry Lucian Maxwell the day after tomorrow." Like a flash a memory rose before ray mental vision. K there was one subject on which Maxwell, in my opinion, was a little •overparticular, iit was on the dreadejl topic of heredity. Frequently he had assured me that far rather would he remain single all his life than bring disease into his family. "You think I have trapped you," said Mrs. Joliffe, who was watching my face intently. "Well, I meant to do so, I hold ymx to your word—to the bond of professional secrecy you have given me." "Do you consider it right to keep Maxwell in the dark?" I demanded. "Yes, from my point of view," «he retorted. "When 1 heard last night that you were coming here, the chief friend of the bridegroom, I experienced a sensation off agony, which you with your cool, well-balanced life, could never understand." "You can rest assured that I pity you," I said. "But the promise you have wrung from me, MPS. Joliffe, means injustice to my friend." "Nevertheless, I refuse to release you from it," she *aid firmly. "I have but one child, my only treasure. She knows, nothing whatever of the doom which hangs over me. She is beauti 'ful, lovable, worthy ^of the best that life can offer her. I will not have her happiness tampered Vtflth, no matter what the cost may foe. "Is your mania of a slight charac ter?" I asked hopefully. "*Jo," she answered .-sullenly. ''There is no use in mincing matters. I am at intervals pursued by the most horrible, ghastly fear that I am being poisoned. My mania rises to'hatred, and unless something is done to arrest its progress, I should think very little of trying to take the life of the person whom I fancy is conspiring against me. Even at the present moment I feel the sure approach of the terrible cloud which shuts away the sunshine of my life. I am convinced, however,; that I shall be able to 'Control myself until Thursday morning, When I.shall return immediately to Fairleigh sanitarium." "And your daughter knows rnothing of'this?" I queried- "No, I have been very careful. My - husband died soon after her birth, and when Laura was five year* <old she was taken from me and sent to .school. We used to meet in the hoHdays, and we always corresponded regularly. When^with her I have had power to restrain myself, and she suspects tnothing. Your terrible theory of heredity cannot be correct, for Laura Is mesatally sound in every ;way. I have done all that I could by placing her in the healthiest environments. But if she is the victim of a cruel blow I cannot answer for the consequences. She is very fragile and physically delicate; were you to tell what you know of me to M r , Maxwell it would in all probability render my daughter insane for life." I rose <t«> my feet, "You place me in a bad position," I said, "but I will not go back -on my word. I only hope I am not committing a crime in so doing." "I trust you, and thank you," she said. "Here come Lucian and some of his guests." She pointed down a vista through the wood, where the forms of several people were''visible under the trees, and ran forward to meet them. "I have been the first to greet Dr. Halifax," she said, going straight up to Maxwell. My friend srushed forward and shook hands with me. "I cannot say how acceptable your presence is," he exclaimed. "I have much to tell you, but first of all I want to Introduce you* to Laura. We will go to her at once." In a little while we entered a long, low cQTMmtrtBmk and whom do you think I have toought with tne? No less a person than my best man and greatest friend —•Dr. Halifax." "I have heard of you> of course/and I am glad to meet you," she answered, raising shy eyes to* my face, Sne was, I saw at a glance, her mother in miniature, but with a sort of halo cast over her. Under her wonderfully brilliant eyes there were somewhat darkshadows, which seemed to throw up and intensify their expression, adding to the etherealness and fragility of the delicate face. She began to speak to me in a low, sweet voice. At times, I fancied that her brows knit as if in momentary pain; now and then her lips drooped slightly; and once I felt certain that I intercepted a startled light of perplexity, almost terror, in her eyes. I said to myBelf, however, that I was prejudiced, that the knowledge of the mother's history made me read more than I ought i n the daughter's face. The dance that evening was a particularly brilliant one. Many guests arrived, and the grounds were lighted with Chinese lanterns and other varied forms of decoration. Soon alter ten o'clock I was standing on the south terrace, when the young brideelect approached me. "Can I speak to you, doctor?" she asked. Her voice was very low, and almost uimatural in tone. Even by the artificial light I could ^see that she was pale, and her lips trembling. "You are cold and trembling," I ^fcaid, "What seems to be wrong?" "I do not tremble from cold," she replied. "Dr. Halifax, I must confide in some one; it is all too horrible! You are Lucian*s 'best friend, but even you do not know him. He is not what he seems. Bend down, for I must not speak aloud. "Mother must not learn the awful truth. Lucian's love forrae has changed. He is trying to poison me. He must have lost his senses. Only half an hour ago, Doctor, I saw him put a poison powder into the champagne he asked me to drink. Oh, it is terrible! What will become of me?" I took my cue in an instant. "You are excited;and overwrought," I said might. I went down to breakfast in >the morning i l l at ease and strolled away by myself. My one faint hope was that Laura might betray herself that day, "and that Maxwell would be (thus warned in time before he was united to a mad wife. To my infinite distress, however, her mother's words with regard to the young girl proved correct When she came to breakfast -she looked calm-and happy; her-eyes met mine with serene unconsciousness. I managed to have a chat with her, and found, to my added perplexity, that she had forgotten every word she had spoken to me on tbe. previous evening. I could not join the rest of the happy party. I went to the wood and sat down to think over the situation. Suddenly I thought of what my friend Everard had said: "Brain disease is often due to functional disturbance and consequent malnutrition of certain centers. If we can, therefore, ascertain where the brain is at fault, a rational line of treatment is pointed out." With Dr. Everardls remark in my mind, I thought carefully over the experiments which 1 had lately made with regard to animal extracts as a means of cure. If his idea was correct, there was a certain portion of Laura Jollffe's brain which was not sufficiently nourished.^ The new line of treatment pointed Out^a definite cure for this. If I could supply^the unhappy girl with those portions of brain which were faulty in her own, I I might gradually overcome the terrible malady which threatened her. In short, now was the time for me to test the experiments which I had so lavishly made. I lost no time in excusing myself to my host and caught the first train for New York. I drove straight home, entered my laboratory and secured a box of carefully prepared medicine. Before twelve o'clock that night I returned to Ashley and seized the first opportunity I could find of speaking to Mrs. Joliffe. "I have been making some experiments," I said, "with regard to a new cure for certain forms of insanity. I need not waste time in repeating to you exactly what I have done. Your "f. remember now all that I said to you the other night," she whispered. "Oh, Dr. Halifax, the awful fear is over me again. From now on I will be in his power, and I know he means to poison me." For one instant a look of black despair had settled upon her face. "Have courage," I whispered back, "Take your medicine three times a day without fail, and the terror w:il cease to pursue you." "I have promised mother to take those queer little capsules," she said. "I will keep my word, doctor." The fear passed away from her face as Lucian joined us and she Bprang lightly into the waiting carriage, waving us a laughing good-bye as they drove off. What I suffered in the next few weeks it is difficult to describe. No news reached me with regard to Maxwell and his bride. Mrs. Joliffe, according to her determination, returned to Fairleigh sanitarium. My sleep was broken nightly by dread forebod ings. Had I done right or wrong? Would the capsules effect a cure, or would Maxwell find out when too late that I could have warned him against his fate and yet failed to do so? At last, one morning, a month after tbe wedding, I could stand the strain no longer, and hurried off to Fairleigh sanitarium.,. As soon as I got there I had an interview with Mrs. Joliffe. She came eagerly to meet me; her face was bright, her eyes full of happiness. She placed a letter in my hands, and I saw at a glance that the writer was Maxwell. "Read that portion," she said, pointing to the third page. I did so. "I am glad to be able to inform ^ygu>" it ran, "that Laura, who was nervous and depressed, and at times very strange during the first two weeks of our honeymoon, has now quite recovered her normal health and spirits. She is really in excellent form, has a good appetite, and is putting on flesh. I doubt, when we return home, if you will know her for the fragile creature who left her native land a short time ago. There is only one odd thing about her; she Insists on dosing herself with some extraordinary little capsules three times daily. She is looking over me as I write, arid begs me to say that the supply will soon be exhausted, and she wants you to send her some more. She believes that they have an almost magical effect upon her, soothing her nerves in the most wonderful way." You see, the experiment is a success, doctor.," said Mrs. Joliffe triumphantly, as I finished reading. "It seems so," I responded, with a sigh of relief. "And now, I have brought you a fresh supply of capsules. Please send them to Mrs. Maxwell by the next mail." "Dr. Halifax," said Mrs. Joliffe, "1 intend to try your medicine on myself. If ft has effected a cure in my child's case, why not in mine?" iTie suggestion was . a timely one, and with Everard's approval it was carried out. TodayHboth mother and daughter are*alive\nd well, mentally and physically, and\the blaci horror of madness has paired out of their lives forever. once upon a time for fne t«>wes, wnlca still has only* a single bell to t a l l t*e faithful to prayer, As far as can* ascertained, the story is as follow*: l a the early middle ages, when tka* church could approached by water; as well as by latod, a certain v a l i a a r knight wished to present to it a peal 6f bells. These bells were cast at s^ foundry many miles away and brought to the church by water. Tbe-y- arrive** in safety, but through carelessness or Inadvertence they were allowed slide to one side of the boat durias unloading, and in a few moments the - vessel listed over and sank, depositing the bells in the mud at the bottom of the canal, where they are to tnia day. When he heard of this tbe donor m|de a "vow, enchantment, e r spell," saying that Etchingham churc* should never have more than one bell until the peal he bad given was dragged from the bottom by a team off four milk-white oxen. The white oxea do not appear to have been forthcoming, and in later times the canal was filled in. The peculiar fact is that tiro church is still only possessed of one bell. Old bells bore many quaint legends graven upon them, such as ejaculations and prayers, and sometimes quite a little history, as in the case ot the great bell in Glasgow cathedral, which bears tbe following inscription: "In the year of grace, 1583, Marcos Knox, a merchant in Glasgow, zealous for the interest of the Reformed Religion, caused me to be fabricated to Holland, for the use of his fellowcitizens of Glasgow, and placed me with solemnity in the tower of their cathedral. My function was announced by the impress on my bosom: Me audito, veniae, doctrinam sanctam ut discas, and I was taught to proclaim the hours of unheeded time- One hundred and ninety-five years bad I sounded these awful warnings, when I was broken by the hands of inconsiderate and careless men. In tbe year 1790 I was cast into the furnace1, refounded at London, and returned to my sacred vocation. Reader! thou also shalt know a resurrection, may ttr be to eternal life!" Henry VIII. looked upon bells as » useful means of addition to his la* come, and nothing more, and owing to his vandalism in this direction, many valuable and beautiful old belle disappeared with -other church property to be sold for their value asmetal. Many curicus things happened' when these bells were removed whicte gave rise to nnnumerable legends. A t Lynn and at Yarmouth ships carrying: bells to foreign ports foundered and. sank, and the wrecking of a vessel; carrying fourteen of the bells of Jersey at the entrance of St. Malo Har* bour gave rise to tbe legend that when the wind blows the drowned bells are pealing. Sir Miles Partridge, who won tbe Jesus Bells of St. Paul's from King Henry when playing at dice wae shortly after hanged on Tower Hilt, and, perhaps mopt remarkable of all* a certain Bishop of Bangor, who, having sold tbe bells of his cathedral, went to see them shipped, was forthwith stricken with blindness.—London Globe. * L E G E N D S O F C H U R C H B E L L S I waa startled "by the, oound of awornarva vc&ce* Forces of Llofrf;. 4 The late Arthur McEwen, a famous journalist of.San Francisco and New York, was once engaged in a political fight in the California city in wbfek the better clement was arrayed against the bosses and.their folia-were* and the better element was getting decidedly the worst of it.

She stared ,at me with glittering eyes. I gave her a faithful version of the incident which had just transpired. When I had done speaking she covered her face with her hands. "Has all my suffering and self-denial been in vain then?" she cried < "Havejffot ail the years of loneliness, of horror, sufficed to avert the curse?" "Try to calm yourself," I said. "Mrs. Joliffe, I do not think this marriage ought to be allowed to go on." She faced me defiantly, "It must," she cried. "I can think of no one but Laura, and you are bound in tyonor not to betray me. I know, none better, the workings of the Insidious malady. Have I not gone through it all? tonight, but tomorwill father part is to obey my directions implicitly. If you refuse, I shall consider myself absolved from my promise, and will tell Maxwell the entire truth." "I will do anything you wash," she whispered hoarsely. "This box which I have ibrought with .me from townALcontinued, "contains capsules. Yhese capsules are made of gelatine, and each ctf them balds a certain dose. The medicine is rof a new and important kind. In ray opinion and that of Dr. Everard it .acts directly upon the higher nervous centers. There is a strong possibility, Mrs. Joliffe, that within this box there lies the cure of your daughiter'< s .ailment. She must take three of the§e eapsules daily. Get her to promise you this. Give her one when she wakes in the morning, give her an- <©ther ,before she leaves here with her husband. Make her vow that she will mot omit to take thuee daily." "I waiN do so," she answered. "God bless you, Dr. Halifax. Have you any thing more to say?" "Yes; Miss Joliffe must also furnish you with her address. There are enough capsules in that box to last her exactly a month. If they do anything for her, she will probably be obliged to continue the cure Tor several months. I must be placed in a position to be able to supply her with more capsules; tbe whole thing is an experiment, and it may fail, but. it is the best I can do." The tears sprang to Mrs. Jollffe's eyes. "You are a good man," she said. "You shall be obeyed in every particular." Tbe next day Laura and Maxwell were married. The wedding ceremony took place without a hitch, and no bride ever looked more lovely. I was standing In the hall when the bride and groom went away. Maxwell bad otten something, and had to run s.

The Quintards had not prospered on the barren lands of the pine woods whither they had emigrated to escape tne malaria of the low coast, but this no longer mattered, for the last of his name and race, old General Qulntard, was dead In the great house his father bad built almost a century before and the thin acres of tbe Barony, where he had made his last stand against age and poverty, were to Claim him, now that he had given up the struggle in their midst Though he had lived continuously at t|ie Barony for almost a quarter of a century, tbere was none among his neighbors who could say he had looked on that thin, aquiline face In all that time. Yet they had known much of him, for the gossip of the slaves, who had been his only friends in these years he had chosen to deny himself to other friends, had gone far and wide over the county. That notable man of business, Jonathan Crenshaw, was closeted In the library with a stranger to whom rumor fixed the name of Bladen, supposing him to be the legal representatives of certain remote connections of the old general's. Crenshaw sat before the flat-topped mahogany desk with several accountboo& a before him. Bladen stood by the window. "I suppose you will buy in the property when it comes up for sale?" the latter was saying. Crenshaw nodded. "He lived entirely alone, saw no one, I understand?" said Bladen, "Alone with his two or three old •laves—yes, sir. He wouldn't even aee me." There was a brief pause, then Cren- Bhaw spoke again. "I reckon, sir, if you know anything about the old gentleman's private affairs you don't feel no call to speak on that point?" he observed. | * A J i I know Is this: General Qulntard was a conspicuous man in these parts fifty years ago; he married a Beaufort." "So he did," said Crenshaw, "and there was one child, a daughter; she married a South Carolinian by the name of Turbervilie. Great folks, those TuTbervilies, rolling rich." "And what became of the daughter <wbo married Turbervilie?" i *4Died years ago," said Crenshaw. Tfeey were interrupted by a knock a t the door. bal Wayne Hazard/ That is all the general ever said on the matter/' The old general was borne across what had once been the west lawn to his resting-place i a the neglected acre where the dead and gone of his race lay, and the record of the family was complete, as far as any men knew. Then Crenshaw, assisted by Bob Yancy, proceeded to secure the great house against Intrusion. They passed from room to room securing doors and windows, and at last stepped out upon the back porch. "Hullo!" said Yancy, pointing. There on a bench by the kitchen door was Hannibal Wayne Hazard asleep, with his old spo'tin' rifle across his knees. "Well, I declare to goodness!" said Crenshaw. "I reckon you'd rather drop a word with yo' missus before you toted him home?" suggested Yancy, who knew something of the nature of his friend's domestic thraldom. "A woman ought to be boss In her own house," said Crenshaw. /Feelln' the truth of that, I've never married, Mr. John. But I was going to say, what's to hinder me from toting that boy to my home?" "If you'll take the boy," Bob, you shan't lose by it." Yancy rested a big knotted hand on the boy's shoulder. "Come, wake up, sonny!" The child roused with a start and stared into the strange bearded face that was bent toward him. "It's yo' Uncle Bob," continued Yancy in a wheedling tone. "Here, give us the spo'tin' rifle to tote!" Yancy balanced the rifle on < his great palm and his eyes assumed a speculative cast. "I wonder what's to binder us from of Scratch Hill the boy Hannibal followed at Yancy's heels as that gentleman pursued the not arduous rounds of temperate industry which made up hie dally life, for if Yancy were not completely idle he was responsible for a counterfeit presentment of idleness having most of the merits of the real article. The Barony had been offered for sale and bought in by Crenshaw for eleven thousand dollars, this being the amount of his claim.. Some six months later he sold the plantation for fifteen thousand dollars to Nathaniel Ferris, of Currituck county. 'There's money in the old place, Bob, at that figure/' Crenshaw told Yancy. "Bladen's got an answer from them South Carolina Quintards, and they don't know nothing about the boy," added Crenshaw. "So you can rest easy, Bob; they ain't going to want him." "Well, sir, that surely is a passel of comfort to me. I find I got all the instincts of a father without having had none of the instincts of a husband." A richer, deeper realization of his joy came to Yancy when he had turned his back on Balaam's Cross Roads and set out for home through the fragrant silence of the pine woods. Just beyond the Barony, which was midway between Balaam's and the Hill, down the long stretch of sandy road he saw two mounted figures, then as they drew nearer he caught the flutter of skirts and recognized one of the horsewomen. It was Mrs. Ferris, wife of the Barony's new owner. She reined in her horse abreast of his cart. "Aren't you Mr. Yancy?" she asked. "I am Mrs. Ferris, and I am very A: • / , ' ! *•' "Come in," said Crenshaw. The door opened and a small boy entered the room dragging after him a long rifle.

'"Please, sir, I want this here old spo'tin* rifle," said the child. "I reckon you may keep it—at least I've no objection." Crenshaw glanced at Bladen. "Oh, by all meansV' said the latter. Spaams of delight shook the small figure. With a murmur that was meant for thanks he backed from the room, closing the door. Bladen glanced inquiringly at Crenshaw, "Ifou want to know about him, sir? Well, that's Hannibal Wayne Hazard. But who Hannibal Wayne Hazard is —fast wait a minute, sir"—and quitting bis chair Mr. Crenshaw hurried from the room to return almost immediately with a tail countryman. ' " M r .

"Glad to know you, ma'am," said Yancy. Miss Malroy faced him, smiling. She was quite radiant with youth and beauty. "We are Just returning from Scratch H i l l . " said Mrs. Ferris.

She read certain chapters from the Bible, finishing with the story of David, a narrative that made a deep impression upon Yancy. comfortably seated In the doorway. "You will all be here next Sunday, won't you?-—and at the same h o u r f she said, rising. There was a sudden clatter of hoofs beyond the' door. A man, well dressed and well mounted had ridden into the yard. As Mrs. Ferris came from the cabin he flung himself out of the saddle and, hat in hand, approached her. "I am hunting a place called the Barony; ,can you tell me if I am on the right road?" he asked. He was a man in the early thirties, graceful and powerful of build, with * handsome face. "It is my husband you wish to see? 1 am Mrs. Ferris." "Then'General Qulntard Is a e a d r His tone was one of surprise. "His death occurred over a year ago, and my husband now owns the Barony; were you1 a friend of the gen* eraTs?" "No, madam; he was my father's friend, but I had hoped to meet him."

By this time the children had straggled off into the pine woods as silently as they had assembled ;* only Yancy and Hannibal remained. Mrs. Ferris turned to the former. "If you will close the cabin door. Mr. Yancy, everything will be ready for next Sunday," she said, and moved toward the horses, followed by Murrell. Betty Malroy lingered for a moment at Hannibal's side. "Good-by, little boy; you must ask your Uncle Bob to bring you up to the big house to see me," and stooping she kissed him. "Good-by, M r .

"You say your father was a friend of the old general's?" said Bladen: "YearB ago, in the north—yes," answered Murrell. Murrell regarded the lawyer in silence for a moment out of his deeply sunk eyes. "Too bad about the boy," he said at length slowly. "How do you mean, Captain?" asked Bladen. "I mean it's a pity he has no one except Yancy to look after him,", said Murrell; but Bladen showed no interest and Murrell went on: "Ha* Yancy any legal claim on the boy?" "No, certainly not; the boy Was merely left with Yancy because Crenshaw didn't know what else to de with him." ttiet possession of, him, and If 1 don't buy land here I'll take him west with me/' said Murrell quietly.

On our farm four canes are allowed to grow from the root stock, being, guided J i l l they reach to longitudinal wires by being tied with tarred twine, writes Herman Haup^j JT^ in the Jfcural New Yorker. We use cedar posts eight feet long set - -— • «j .. is the samel telephone wire; these are pasaed in the ground about 2 ^ f e £ t , with, the One is two inches and the other six butt end throughout coated with hot coal tar from the gas works.' The end posts are braced so thai the wires* may be drawn taut It is a mistake to bore holes in the posts and run wires through them at four feet from the grcund, or In fact any distance, as it allows of the accumulation of moisture, and a wire at this height very naturally interferes with the cultivation of the vineyard and the picking of the crop. Any obstruction that prevents getting readily from one row of vines to the next is an error. The cross arms, if made of 1 by 4 inch* board and secured with three nails, need sot have the wire braced from tbe end of the arms to the post. To hold the longitudinal wires we saw a i < » i i i i i ii i i i 4- • * CONCRETE G R A P E POST. A, Mold for Making Posts; B, Front View ijf.,. Finished Post; C, Side View of Finished Post. ' Ehallow notch in the upper edge of the cross-arms; this is sufficient, and being daubed with tar keeps out moisture. At best wood will rot and, we have adopted fhe plan now of replacing the wooden post with one made of concrete. A rectangular box is made tapering from six inches at.the base to four inches at the top and eight feet long, open along one side. This box is made with only two sides tapering, the others are straight. In the ends of the box we bore four holes, near the outer edge, for the,admission of four strands of galvanized through the box from end to end and made taut. The box is then laid on its side, the open side up, and filled with concrete: One part best Portland cement, three parts sand and water to make quite wet.. With a trowel the upper surface is smoothed off. A t the upper or smaller end of the post are inserted in the wet concrete two one-quarter inch.,boUs, the head imbedded in the concrete, and the shank protruding an inofi or more. ^The bolts are four inches apart and two inches from the top of the post. inches from the top. To these bofts are screwed the cross-arms 24 Inches long, when the post has set and hardened. The fcox or form i s ' s o made that six or eight or more posts may bp made at one time. (This makes a post that will last for all time, and need no repairs. vThe end posts will, of course, heed bracing i n the same manner as the wooden ones.

To give the vines a uniform influence from the sun and .air, plant the vineyard in rows running north and south and on high, well-drained ground. EXCELLENT W A Y T O SET POSTS E x p e r i e n c e Teaches T h a t I t W i l l ' t a s t M u c h L o n g e r W i t h the S m a l l E n d P l a c e d i n the G r o u n d . After many years' experience I have concluded by placing the small end of the post IR the ground. A post will last much longer than with the large end down. The reason for thiB is obvious. When limbs are cut off it always leaves a cut that holds more or less water and where worms have worked the holes are always downward. These poles hold some moisture, but by placing the top end down this moisture runs out and leaves the post dry. At first thought it looks as though the post with the large end up would not make a good appearance. However, says an expert m the Farm and Home, I have generally found that the large end is the straight end, and frequently there is a .crook at the small end'. If this be placed in the ground, the fence when completed looks much better. I also have found that small posts for wire fence last longer than large ones, for they do not hold moisture as long. A post should never be reset until it is well seasoned. The end posts should always be placed in concrete; then there need be no bra/, cing or anchors used.

A star's job is a hard one. The mental strain is even greater than the physical. For what he undergoes the fabulous salaries are not fabulous. Before going into details let us define a star—the bail player's definition: "A star is any player who, through Individual excellence, achieves a reputation for brilliant work, thus at tract ing fans to the park to see him play." He is a star only so long as his performances stand out. He is paid the salary of a star as long as his reputation brings fans to the stands and money to the box office.

'Twas early spring, and calm snd still the night, The moon had risen casting silvery light; On either side of stream the army lay Waiting for morn to renew the fray. The Rappahannock silently flowed on Between tbe hills so fair to look upon; Whose dancing waters tingled with silvery light, Vied in their beauty with the starry night. Bat list! from the northern hill there steals along The softest strain of music and of song— The 1 'Starry Banner," our nation's glorioufc air, To tell to all of gallant flag still there. Then "Hail Columbia'1 a thousand voices siug Witb all their soul and make the hilltops ring. From fire to fire, from tent to tent, then flew The welcome words, "Lad, sing the 'Boys ki Blue.' ' And well they sang, each heart was filled with joy, ~Trom first in rank to little drummer boy. Their lusty cheering reached the southern ear, Men who courted danger knew no fear, And talkin o'er their scanty evening meal, Each did grasp bis trusty blade of steel. Soon upon the northern ear there fell . The air of **Di*ie" which was loved so welt ^ * By everyone who wore the coat of gray, And is still revered and cherished to this day. In "Dixie Land they swore to live or die, That was their watchword, that their battle cry; Then rose on high the wild confederate yell, Resounding over every hill and dell. X. Cheer after cheer went up that starry night. From men as brave as ever saw the light; Now all is still, each aide hag played his part. How simple songs can are a soldier's heart! But hark! from Rappahannock's stream there fioato Another air; but ah, how changed*the notes! Not those that lash men's passions into foam, But richest gem of song—'twas "Home, Sweet Home." Played by a band that touched the very sou)! And down the veteran's cheeks the tear drops stole. Men who would walk to the very cannon's mouth, Now wept like childred, from both North and South. Beneath those well worn coats of gray and blue, Were tender, loving heartt,toth brave and true The sentry stopped and rested on his gun, While back to home his thoughts did quickly run, Thinking of loving wife and children there. With no one left to guard them or to care. > The stripling lad not strong enough to bear "The weight of saber'and knapsack-srear Tried to stop with foolish, boyish* pride The starting tear; as well mifeht atop the tide Of ceaseless rolling ocean just as well/ Asstpp those tears which fast and faster fell, : Then Jo! by mutual sympathy there rose V'f A input tremendous, forgetting they were foes. ?;,-A,shnultaneoua shout whieh-.-raBfc from every voice, & ^|g^nd;j»e»ed to make the very heavens rejoice. ^ ^ P ' ^ > ^ / ^ ^ f t ^ music's charm! one chord doth make us wild: $Mi$$$P, ^^;,/:Bhteh^ge the strain, we weep as little child, •"' * ^ .Ifouch yet another, men charge the hattery gun i And by those martial tones a victory's WJO; * It matters not from whence, how far we roam, No heart so cold that does not love ."Sweet Home." Dsuvtfefeo BY JOMA WOOD r X. mm , As we enter upon our new work, difficulties will arise we know, but remembering the words of our moltof "Onward! Upward!" we will not shirk them for only in the conquering of obstacles may strength and beauty be developed. If we set up a high standard, we will be very apt to succeed in life for 4'What can courage not display, when we scholars lead the way." And now as we leave our places here and go forth tQ meet the trials and joys, of our future school life, there stands, ready and waiting to take our places a band of workers with a purpose as true, with hearts as willing, and with success as sure as ours was two years age, when we first entered upon our high-school' work, To our teacher who has labored so earnestly and faithfully to assist us, who has borne so patiently our failures and shared our joys when ever we have been successful, we offer our most hearty thanks although words are feeble wings on which to bear you the thanks We would send* But we trust in coming years to prove to. you how we accepted your instructions and appreciated your Kindness. And now dear Classmates as we leave this room and all the pleasant memories behind Let us each aim to do our best, To reach a standard high and true: And God will help ns with the rest, If we to him our duty do." AUCE STEVENS P R O P H E C Y Ten years have passed since we were pupils in the little school of District No 6. Many changes have taken place during that time. I find myself in the western wilds of southern Idaho, alighting from a train at Boise City. As I look around not one familiar face greets my vision, I take a cab and go to the nearest hotel and as I go to place my name on the register who shoulcfopen tbe office door but rlarlow Munseli, proprietor of the Crescent Hotel. The surprise was mutual for neither bad expected to see the other in this out of the way place. After resting and taking lunch, I was joined by the landlord in the ladies parlor to take a chat. He asked me why I was there and I told him I wag the expected lecturer on women's rights for at school I was always quiet. H« then offered to show me 'round tbe city which I readily accepted, and as we. walked along the broad avenues, a large and beautiful brick structure met our view.VMy companion said. H Tbis is the celebra\ «d Indian School of the Western reservation district. We will step inside I think you will recognize the matron We rang tbe bell and a tall athletic Indian opened tbe door. We asked to see the matron and were ushered into her private sitting room and who should meet us but Miss Margaret Young our former teacher. She was very much astonished at seeing me so far away from home, I was shown through various departments and as we came to the kindergarden department whom should we find but Miss Alice Stevens hearing a class of juveniles repeat, two plus two equals four, and two less two equals naught. She too was glad to Bee me. In honor of my visit the school was given a quarter holiday. I dined witb tbe matron and teachers and spent a pleasant afternoon talking over old times and inquiring for former school mates. My first inquiry was for Miss Julia Wood and they told me she had become a traine I nurse. They inquired for my sister, Junia Rae Brothers n, and I told them she had gone as a missiouaiv to southern India. My last inquiry was for Miss Elaine McCleer and I waB not at all surprised when they told me she had become a famed poetess for it waa in tbe spring of our last year in school that we discovered she had made her first attempt at writing. The name of her first poem being, " Ade to a Southern breeze. It started out something like this, "O, soft and gentle is the Southern breeze, And may it come before we freeze.'7 They were all very much surprised to bear that I was a lecturer on women's rights. The afternoon waa now well spent and as the time for the lecture drew near I bade my friends good-bye and went back to the hotel to prepare for the coming lecture. The house was filled to overflowing and I did my best to impress upon their minds the necessity of women's voting and 1 think when tbe next presidential election arrives tbe women will ail have a voice in the election.

T . Barnum. s . c HISTORY Just two years ago there came into exsistance a class of five girls and one lone boy, known as the class of 1912, and ranging in age from 12 to 16 years. They chose ag their motto, Onward! Upword! and looking ahead the journey seemed long, the ascent 'irksome, but they were fortunate in having an instructor of wide experience, though still young, who came down as it were, and climbed witb them, smoothing the rough places, kindly ad» monishing, and encouraging all to their best efforts. Thus making the way a pleasure trip and ail too short. Ho we ver they were not without their full share of ups and Bi, to which anybody who happened when the bill was covered with ice, testify^ Their class flower was the simple nafop&us because they had come to that age when the artistic should pre- ( dominate, though we know in their hearts they preferred buckwheat. .And all unmindful of the law of contrast, green and white were selected for their colors. As the years were drawing to a close and and they were congratulating themselves that all would reach the goal, one4 young lady decided to take up teachers work and ileft them and was scon followed, without any excuse, by the only boy. IOU may think it was because he was lonesome, with so many girls, but that could not be possible, as one of the girls fearing this might be the case took it upon herself to make the time outside of school so pleasant that the smile never came off even during the day* Never-the-less there were only four left to complete the journey, which will verv soon be ended and the class of 1912 will to all external appearance be a thing of the past. Yet the influence of its two years of existence will not pans Until each shall answer to the great roll call.

It gives any number of speeds. There are no gears—just a fibre faced wheel running against a tiriction disc. This eliminates jerks in starting. This remarkable simplicity makes disorders practically impossible. This transmission gives a pulling power that will take the cir easily through bad, muddy and sandy roads and even up /)0 per cent grades. With the chain in oil drive there is no waste of power.

"But aren't you half way engaged to me?" he pleaded in justification, seeing the unwonted seriousness with which she had received bis impudent advance. "Didn't you agree to give me a chance?" "I did nay that I liked you very much/' she admitted, "no man better, and that X thought that you might—" "Well, then—" he began. But she would not be interrupted. "I did not mean that you should enjoy all tbe privileges of a conquest before you had won me. I will thank you not to do that again, sir." "It seems to have had a very different effect upon you than it does •upon me," replied the man coolly. "I loved you before, but now, since I have kissed you, I worship you." "it hasn't affected me that way," retorted the girl promptly, her face still frowning and indignant. "Not at all, and—" "Forgive me, EnldV' pleaded the other. "I just couldn't help it. You were so beautiful 1 had to. I took the chance. You are not accustomed to our ways." ' "Is this your habit in your love affairs?" asked the girl swiftly and not without a spice of feminine malice. "I never had any love affair before," he replied with a ready masculine mendacity, "at least none worth mentioning. But you see this Is the west; we have gained what we have by demanding every inch that nature offers, and then claiming the all. That's the way we play tbe game out here and that's tbe way we win." "But I have not yet learned to play the 'game/ as you call it, by any such rules," returned the young woman de- ; terminedly, "and it la not the way to win me if I am the stake," "What Is the way?" aeked the man anxiously. "Show me and I'll take It no matter what its difficulty." "Ah, for me to point out the way would be to play traitor to myself," she answered, relenting and relaxing a little before his devoted wqoing. *"You must find it without assistance. I can only tell you one thing." "And what is that?" "You do not advance toward the goal by such actions as those of a moment since." "Look here," said the other suddenly. "1 am not ashamed of what I did, and I'm not going to pretend that I am, either." "You ought to be/' severely. "Well, maybe so, but I'm not; 1 couldn't help it any more than I could help loving you the minute X saw you. Put yourself In my place." "But I am not in your place, and X can't put myself there. I do not wish to. If it be true, as pou say, that you have, grown to—care so much for me and so quickly—" ^ "If it be> true?" came the sharp in* terruptlon as the man bent toward her, fairly devouring her with bis bold, . ardent gaze. .,<,,.. . ; ;; .. ^ , "Well, since it Is true," she admited under the compulsion of hie protest "That fact is the only possible excuse for your action." " Y o u find some Justification for me, then?" "No, only a possibility, but whether Jtifee fcrue-or not. I do not feel that way-r^yet." There was a saving grace in that last wordy which gave him a little heatt. He would have spoken, but sue suffered no interruption, saying: "I have been .wooed before, but—'' "True, unless the human race has become suddenly blind/' he said softly under his breath. "But never in such ungentle ways/ "I suppose you have never run up against a real red-blooded man like me before." "If red-blooded be evidenced mantty by lacking of self control, perhaps 1 have hot. Yet there are men that 1 have met that would not deed to apologize for their qualities even to you, Mr. James Armstrong." "Don't say t h a t Evidently 1 make but poor, progress i n «ny wooing Never have I met with a Woman like ybnM**~and soma of h ' h a v e repll guage and The difference between their years was not quite so great as he declared, but womanlike the girl let the statement pass unchallenged. "And I wouldn't insult your Intelligence by saying you are the only woman that I have ever made lqye to, but there is a vast difference between making love to a woman and loving hue. I have just found that out for the first time. I marvel at the past, and I am ashamed of It, but X thank Ood that I have been saved for this opportunity. { want to win you, and X am going to do it, too. In many things I don't match up with the people with whom you train. I was born out here, and I've made myself. There are things that have happened in the making that I am not especially proud of, and X am sot at all satisfied with the results, especially since 1 have met you. The better X know you theless pleased X am with Jim Armstrong, but there are possibilities i n me, I rather believe, and with you for inspiration, Ood!"—the man flung out his hand with a fine gesture of determination. "They say that the east and west don't naturally mingle, but It's a lie; you and I can beat the world." The woman thrilled to his gallant wooing. Any woman would have done so; some of them would have lost their heads, but Enid' Maitland was an exceedingly cool young person, for Bhe was not quite swept off her feet, and did not quite lose her balance. "I like to bear you say things like that," she answered. "Nobody quite like you has ever made love to me, and certainly not in your way, and that's the reason I have given you a half way promise to think about It. I was sorry that you could not be with us on this adventure, but now 1 am rather glad, especially if the even temper of my way is to be interrupted by anything like the outburst of a few minutes since." "I am glad, too," admitted the man "For I declare I couldn't help it. If X have to be with you either you have got to be mine or else you would have to decide that It could never be, andv then I'd go oft and fight it out." "Leave me to myself," said the girl earnestly "for a little while; it's best so; I would not take the finest, noblest man on earth—" "And I am not that." "Unless I loved him. There Is something very attractive about your personality; I don't know in my heart whether It is that, or—" "Good," said the man, as she hesitated. "That's enough." He gathered up the reins and whirled his horse suddenly in the road. "I am going back. I'll wait for your return to Denver, and then—" "That's best," answered the girl. She stretched out her hand to him, leaning backward. If he had been a different kind of a man he would have kissed it; as it was he took it in his own hand and almost crushed it with a fierce grip. "We'll shake on that, little girl," he said, and then without a backward glance he put spurs to his horse and galloped furiously down the road. No, she decided then and there, she did not love him, not yet. Whether she ever would she could not tell. And yet she was half bound to him. The recollection of bis kiss was not altogether a pleasant memory; he had not done himself any good by that bold assault upon her modesty, that reckless attempt to rifle the treasure of her lips. No man had ever really touched her heart^aithough many had engaged her interest. Her experience therefore was not definitive or conclusive. If she had truly loved James Armstrong, in spite of all that she might have said,'she would have thrilled to the rofhembrance of that wild earless. T h e chances, therefore, wore somewhat heavily against him that morning as he rode down the trail alone. His experiences In love affairs were much greater than; hers.' She was by no means the first woman he had kissed—remember, suspicious reader, that he was not from Philadelphia-* hers were not the first ears into which b e / h a d poured passionate protestations. He was neither bet* ter nor worse than most men, perhaps be fairly enough represented this average; but surely .fat*; bad something better in store for1 such a superb woman. A girl of such* attainments and such Infinite possibilities, she must mate higher than,with the average man. Perhaps there w a r * subconsciousness of this i n her mind as the silently waited to be overtaken by the rest pf the party. There were. curious glances; arid strange speculations i n that little company as they saw her sitting her horse alone. JL^ew^aoments before ghe Actually Fried the Bacon Herself. what troubled present aspect. She threw off her preoccupation Instantly and easily, however, and joined readily enough in the merry conversation of the way. Mr. Robert Maitland, as Armstrong has said, had known him from a boy. There were things in his career of which Maitland did not and could not approve, but they were of the past, he reflected, and Armstrong was arter all a pretty good sort Mr. Maitlands standards were not at all those of his Philadelphia brother, but they were very high. His experiences of men had been different; he thought that Armstrong, having certainly by this time reached years of discretion, could be safely entrusted with the precious treasure of the young girl who had been committed to his care, and for whom his affection grew as his knowledge of and acquaintanceship with her Increased. As for Mrs. Maitland and the two girls and the youngster, they were Armstrong's devoted friends. They knew nothing about his past, indeed there were things in It of which Maitland himself was Ignorant, and which had they been known to him might have caused him to withhold even his tentative acquiescence In the possibilities. Most of theae thinat were known to old Kirkby, who with masterly skill, amusing nonchalance aad amazing profanity, albeit most of?it under his breath l i s t he shock the ladles, tooled along tbe four nervous, excited bronchos that drew the big supply wagon. Kirkby was Maitland'* oldest and meat valued friend. He had been the letter's deputy sheriff, he had been a cowboy and a lumberman, a mighty hunter and a successful miner, aad now,,although he had acquired.a reasonable competence, and had a nice little wife and a pleasant home In the mountain village i t the.entrance to the canon,, he drove stage for pleasure rather than for profit He had given over his dally twenty-five mile jaunt from Morrison to Troutdftle to other hands for a short space that he might spend a little time with his old friend aad the family who were an greatly 'attached to him on this outing. Enid Maitland, a girl of a kind that Kirkby had never seen before, had won the old man's heart during the weeks spent on tbe Maitland ranch. He had grown fond of her, and he did not think:that Mr, James Armstrong merited that which he evidently so overwhelmingly desired* Kirkby was well along In years, but he wm, quite for In knee, his long whip tn his hand, his keen and somewhat fierce brown eyes taking in every detail ef what was going on about him. Indeed there was but little that came before him that old Kirkby did not see. C H A P T E R III. The Story and the Letters. Imagine, if you please,. the forest primeval; yes, the murmuring pines and the hemlocks of the poem as well, by the side of a rapidly rushing mountain torrent fed by the eternal snows of the lofty peaks of the great range. A level stretch of grassy land where a mountain brook joined the creek was dotted with clumps of pines and great boulders rolled down from the everlasting bills—half an acre of open clearing. On the opposite side of the brook the canon wail rose almost sheer for perhaps five hundred feet, ending in jagged, needle-edged pinnacles of rock, sharp, picturesque and beautiful. A thousand feet above ran the timber line, and four thousand feet above that the crest of the greatest peak in the main range. The white tents of the little encstnpment which bad gleamed so brightly in the clear air and radiant sunshine of Colorado* now stood dim and ghostlike in the red reflection of a huge campflre. It waa the evening of the first day in the wilderness. For two days since leaving the wagon, the Maitland party with its long train of burros heavily pacfed, its horsemen and the steady plodders on foot, had advanced Into unexplored and almost Inaccessible retreats of the mountains)—Into the primitive In* deed! In this (delightful spot they had pitched their tents and the permanent camp had been made. Wood was abundant, the water at hand was as cold as Ice, as clear as crystal and as soft as milk. There was pasturage for the horses'and burros oa the other side of the mountain brook. Tbe whole place was a little amphitheater which humanity occupied perhaps the first time since creation. Unpacking the burros, setting dp the tents, making the camp, building the fire, had used up tbe late remainder of the day which was theirs when they had arrived. Opportunity would come tomorrow to explore the country, to climb the range, to try the stream, that tumbled down a succession of waterfalls to the right of the camp and roared and rushed merrily around its feet until, swelled by tbe volume of the brook, It lost itself in tfee-^ad depths far beneath. Tonight rest after labor, tomorrow play, after rest The evening meal was over, jgntd uld not -help think with what and contempt her father would regarded the menu, how his gorge ve risen-hers, too, for u m matter!—bad i t bean placed before him on the old colonial mahogany of the dining-room in Philadelphia. But up there in the wilds she had eaten the coarse homely fare with the zest and relish of the most seasoned ranger of the hills. Anxious to be of service, she had burned her hands and smoked her hair and scorched her face by usurping the functions of the young ranchman who had been brought along as cook, and had actually fried the bacon herself! Imagine a goddess with a frying pan! The black thick coffee and the condensed milk, drunk from the granite ware cup, had a more delicious aroma and a more delightful taste than the finest Mocha and Java in the daintiest porcelain of France. Optimum condlmentum. The girl was frankly ravenously hungry, the air, the altitude, the exertion, the excitement made her able to eat anything and enjoy It. She was gloriously beautiful, too; even her brief experience i n the west had brought back the missing roses to her cheek, and had banished the bistre circles from beneath her eyes. Robert Maitland, lazily reclining propped up against a boulder, his feet to the fire, smoking an old pipe that would have given his brother the norrors, looked with approving complacency upon ber, confident *nd satisfied that his prescription was working well. Nor was he the only one who looked at her that way. Marlon and Emma, his two daughters, worshipped their handsome Philadelphia cousin and they sat one on either side of her on the great log lying between the tents and the fire. Even Bob Junior condescended to give her approving glances. The whole camp was at her feet. Mrs. Maitland had been greatly taken by her young niece. Kirkby made no secret of his devotion, Arthur Bradshaw and Henry Philips, each a "tenderfoot" of the extremist character, friends of business connections in the east, who were spending their vacation with Maitland, ahared Iq the general devotion; to say nothing of George the Cook and Pete, the packer and horse wrangler. Philips, who was an old acquaintance of Enid'8, had tried his luck with her back east and had sense enough to accept as final his failure. Bradshaw was a solemn young man without that keen sense ot humor which was characteristic of the west. The others were suitably dressed for adventure, for Bradshaw's Idea of an appropriate costume was distinguished chiefly by long green felt puttees which swathed his huge calves and excited curious Inquiry and ribald comment from the surprised denizens of each mountain hamlet through which they had passed, to all of which Bradshaw remained serenely oblivious. The young man, who does enter espe- "It Was In These Very Mountains/' field Robert Maitland. dally Into tat* tale, waa a vestryman of the church In his home fn the suburbs of Philadelphia. His piety had been put to a severe strath in the mountains, _ Tbat day everybody had to work on the trail—everybody wanted to for that matter. Tbe hardest labor consisted In tbe driving of the burros. Unfortunately there was no good and trained. leader among them through an unavoidable mistake, and the camp, era had. greet difficulty i n xeepto*tbe burros on the trail. To Arthur Brad* shaw had been allotted the most Obstinate, cross-grained and determined of the unruly band, and old Kirkby an4 George paid particular attention to Instructing him in the gentle*art of manipulating him over the rocky mountain trail, "Wall," said Kirkby with his soma* what languid, drawling, nasal voice, "that there burro's like a ship w'tch I often seed 'em w'e'svl was a kid down east afore 1 come out to Clod'*, country, Nature has pervlded 'em with a you shoved the, helium over xp the left.

Arthur faithfully followed directions, narrowly escaping the outraged brute's small but sharp pointed heels on occasion. His efforts not being productive of much success, finally in his despair he resorted to brute strength; he would pick the little animal up bodily, pack and all—he was a man of powerful physique—and swing him around until his head pointed In the right direction; then with a prayer that the burro would keep It there for a few rods anyway, ho would set him down and start him a l l over again* Tbe process oft repeated became monotonous after awhile. Arthur was a slow thinking man, deliberate in action ; he stood it as long as he possibly could. Kirkby, who rode one horse and led two others, and therefore waa exempt from burro driving, observed him with great interest He and Bradshaw had strayed way behind the rest of the party. At last Arthur's resistance, patience and piety, strained to the breaking point, gave way suddenly. Primitive Instincts rose to the surface and overwhelmed him like a flood. He deliberately sat down on a fallen tree by the side of a trail, the burro halting obediently, turned and faced him with hanging head, apparently conscious that he merited the disapprobation that was being heaped upon him, for from the desperate tenderfoot there burst forth so amazing, so fluent, so comprehensive a torrent of assorted profanity, that even the old past master In objuration was astonished and bewildered. Where did Bradshaw, mild and Inoffensive, get it? His proficiency would have appalled his rector aad amazed bis fellow vestrymen. Not the Jackdaw of RheJms himself was so cursed as that little burro. Kirkby sat on bis horse in fits of silent laughter until the tears rah' down his cheek, the only outward and visible expression of his mirth. > Arthur only stopped when he had thoroughly emptied himself, possibly of an accumulation of years of repression. "Wall," said Kirkby, "you sure do overmatch any one I ever heard Wen it comes to cursln'; w'y, you could gimme cards an' spades an' beat me, an' I was thought to have some gift that-a-way In the old days." "1 didn't begin to exhaust myself/' answered Bradshaw, shortly, "and what I did say didn't equal tbe situation. I'm going home." "1 wouldn't do that," urged the old man, "Here, you take the horses an* I'll tackle the burro." "Gladly," said Arthur. "I would rather ride an elephant and drive a herd of them than waste another minute on this Infernal little mule." The story was too good to keep, and around the camp fire that night Kirkby drawled it forth. There was a freedom and easiness of intercourse In . the camp, which was natural enough. Cook, teamster, driver, host, guest, men, women, children, and 1 had almost said burros, stood on the same level. They all ate and lived together.

On the other hand, I regret to say that my observation lias led me to conclude that this city, as well as many others, has been neglectful of one filing which is of para-] mount importance to the health and happiness of her entire population, and that is suitable public comfort stations conveniently located and distinctly prominent. For neglect in this.respect is the primary cause of multitudinous ailments, and among them are headache, indigestion, Blight's disease of the kidneys, rheumatism and so forth. I do not deem it honorable for myeeff, as a medical man, to remain silent on this most important question. City authorities should see that public health and comfort stations be installed as rapidly as possible, designated by understandable signs, and they should advertise the locations in our public newspapers. Not more than one person in a hundred i n the city of Chicago knows of our excellent, finely equipped public comfort station situated i n the City hall at Washington and Lasalle streetg. <5r/Y/>/C/U/JT C£/YT£# //f Y/COPC V a l u e o f C e m e n t M o r t a r a s I r o n S a v e r Tests are to be made by the Panama canal commission to determine the value of cement mortar applied to iron plates by the "cement gun" as a preservative of iron.

H a b i t o f O b e y i n g D i c t a t e s o f H o n o r D u t y By DR. CHARLES W. ELIOT K\V methods of warfare and new aims have been introduced Into the industrial world by syndicalism. In the United States'most people made their first acquaintance with it through the strikes at Lawrence, Mass., and at Pater son, N . J . Even then they learned little of its principles. Yet many students of the labor questions believe that those principles will have to be reckoned with more and more. Therefore an account is given here of syndicalism up to date. In an address delivered before the Sociological society in England a few days ago A. J. Balfour declared that syndicalism has been brought into being by the apparent failure of the par* 1 i amen tar y system. "It is a pathetie fact," he said, "but . many of the most earnest men of Europe regard the representative system as almost played out. It is pathetic when you think with what high hopes each successive development of tbe representative system has started out." Sjftidfcalists have given up all hope of attaining their ends through parliamentary or legislative action and look to other means for securing social reforms. Direct action is the epitome of the syndicalist platform: You want something? If you are strong enough to compel the people to give it to you. take' i t Syndicalists do not preach plunder, neither do they say: If ydu want something, ask' for it. No. You must demonstrate that unless a certain thing you desire is given to you. .you are in a position to destroy "passively" property equal or superior in value to that certain thing. Mow the Idea Works Out. Every striker knows that and the idea is not original. What is original, however, is the application of this principle to* every act of civic life. Syndicalists are modem if anything. They do not believe in a millenium in which love and brotherhood will be the only motives of human action. On the'other hand, they refuse to share the_anarchist*s scorn for modern civftjzatfcn^ amt-hhr hankefing-foT^TTT* turn to nature. They are practical and businesslike. The past Is dead -and the future is unknown. The immediate needs of the present hour are to them the sole object of Interest. Consider now the application of the syndicalist theory. The primary aim of labor unions Is to have the work of the world done by their members only; secondly, they are trying to keep out of their ranks as many workingmen as possible, so that their members will And employment all the year round; finally, they wisfi to secure for their ployed members the highest not only been stimulated by this gospel and led by its '--kief representatives, Tom Mann, Ben Tillett and others, but from tbe very first they have been an actual application of the new Idea and have marked a long step toward the complete reorganization of the British unions. They were started with the seamen's strike in June, 1911, when the dockers in many places struck in sympathy, at the same time adding demands of their own. When the seamen won their strike they refuse* o go back to work at several places until the dockers received what they were striking for. With the dockers were involved teamsters. The railway strife was largely due to the fact that tbe railway unions* decided to co-operate with this federation. It Invented Sabotage. If the syndicate Is not strong enough to win a strike, or if as it has happened several time in France the government interferes and fills with soldiers the places left vac-ant by strikers, the workingmen are directed to give in, resume work and begin a new form of strike, sabotage. The word "sabotage" wzs coined in 1894 by Pouget, the most powerful French organizer. Sabotage never was generally or effectively applied until a year ago, when the French railroad men lost their big strike. Tbe strike only lasted three days. Then Premier Briand issued an order making every railroader a reservist, and all went back to work as soldiers, some 3.500 of them were discharged and then the silent strike began; sabotage was kept up until every one of the 3,500 employes had been reinstated. Every man began to discharge his duties In strict accordance with tbe letter of the rules. Railroad men acted like the Chinese tailor who had been commissioned by a foreign consul to make a duplicate1 of a suit of clothes given him as a model and who carried out his instructions exactly— so exactly. In fact, that a patch on the trousers, a torn belt on the waistcoat and two grease spots on the coat were carefully duplicated on the new garment. Station men would work faithfully until the precise minute when they were supposed to quit, and then allow a freight car they had.been moving to crash to the bottom of an incline or to obstruct the path of incoming trains. Repair gangs would keep on repairing the track in front of a limited, delaying C O N F L I C T A T S A N J A C I N T O Alphonse Steele of Lone Star State Tells of Battle That Won Independence for Texas.

When only 17 years old, Steele left Hardin county. Kentucky, where he> was born, and went down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers In a boat to> Lake Providence. LA., where be worked until November, 1835, when her joined a company of volunteers, commanded by Captain Daggett and marched to Old Washington, Texas. It was found on reaching that place> that Texas bad not yet declared h e r independence, and the company o f soldiers disbanded. Steele remained in Washington until the Declaration of Independence was signed, whereupon be immediately started for San Antonio to join Travis and aid in defending the Alamo. While on bis* way be learned that the Alamo had fallen. In company with other patriots he then preceded down the Colorado river and joined the army which General Houston was gathering about him. As General Houston and his gathering force of patriots and adventurers moved onward toward the Buffalo bayou and the San Jacinto river. General Santa Ana and his army followed closely, hoping to get the Texans in a close position and make an attack. The Texas army found itself In a cornered position on April 21, 1S36, and In order that It might be a fight to the death tbe only bridge leading across the water course over which retreat might be made was destroyed by order of General Houston. Mr. Steele gives an interesting description of the battle of San Jacinto, which took place on that day. He says: "After dinner on April 21 Santa for an hour and disorganizing the [Ana, who was close upon us, received salary for the shortest possible day's work. When fighting for recognition of their unions or for higher pay union men confer and sign agrements with their employers, thereby recognizing them formally. Work for All, No Employers. Syndicates, on tbe Other hand, wish to secure employment for every human being willing to earn a livelihood. Their primary aim is so to shorten the working day so that there shall not be any workers out of employment. Secondly, regarding ' the employers as mere parasites, they aim at driving them out by demanding a steadily higher wage until the workers receive the fall value of their labor. They : ever confer with employers and never sign any agreements with them. One labor union can only admit men belonging to one craft Locomotive engineers, telegraph operators and ticket agents may be working for tbe same railroad, but cannot belong to the same union. Syndicates, on the contrary, bind all workers in one solid union, divided up for local convenience into groups of more closely allied interests. Take, for instance, the employes of a steel mill. According to the union system steel workers, machinists, truckmen, stationary engineers. blacksmiths, should belong to different groups. A syndicate would admit* every one employed in the mill, from the janitor to the foreman, from the office boy to the stenographer. Finally the labor unions have reduced to the strictest minimum the number of apprentices. Syndicalists of France, Italy, England and America agree on calling this a crime against the rights.of the individual. As Haywood put it: See Evil of Trade Union Rules. "The penitentiaries of this country and of Europe are filled with young boys whom unions have prevented from learning an honest trade.1' The antagonism between syndicalists and union laborers is well illustrated by the fact that in Scranton, Pa., union men have been helping the police in breaking a strike organized by syndicalists. It can easily be seen what, tremendous power syndicates may wield owing to this system of organization. Should only one class of employes, say the spinners, Walk out of a woolen mill, production would be at a standstill until the strike was, ove^ri Whether .the " ^ ' however'^t da it schedule, or else let it pass over a stretch of unfastened rails, and consequently sink Into the roadbed. What distinguishes syndicalists from unionists and socialist is their absolute internationalism. Socialists are naturally suposed to be citizens of the world, but whenever there appears a war cloud on the horizon French and German socialiFts wilt very speedily under the pressure of public opinion and join the bellicose chorus of patriots. Would Abolish War. Syndicalists, on the contrary, try to get together and to avert the war peril by threatening their governments with reprisals in the form of a strike or a civil war. A good example of this method of proceeding was the syndicalist meeting held in Paris last August, when France. Germany, England and Spain seemed on the point of drawing swords over the Moroccan imbroglio. Schmidt, Bauer and Silberschmidt speaking in behalf of the German, Barris and Negre of the Spanish. Koltheck of the Dutch, Tom Mann of the English. Yvetot, Savoie and Merrheim of tbe French syndicalists, declared that their constituencies were absolutely opposed to war, and proclaimed the brotherhood of European workingmen. A month before Yvetot, the secretary of the Associated Labor Council of France, had been invited to address the Berlin syndicalists. His speech, the importance of which was fully appreciated by the imperial government, which ordered him to be immediately expelled, contained among other things the following remarks addressed to the French and German governments: "Just try once, you blockheads, to stir up one people against the other, to arm one people against the other; you will see if the people won't make an entirely different-«se of the weapons, you put into their hands. Wait and see if. the people don't go to war •against an entirely .different enemy than you expect." Rght Militarism. The French and Italian syndicalists are fighting militarism with tooth and nail, for a standing army is an ever present danger in case of strikes. As early as 1903 the government of Holland broke a general strike by tbe use of the army to operate tbe railroads, and the same thing was done in Hungary in the following year. Indeed, these measures had such success that the Hungarian government went further two years later and took away the right of organization from the agricultural laborers, while at the tame time It used the army as strike breakers In harvest time and made permanent arrangements for doing this In a similar contingency in the future. Syndicates conduct In all barracks an active underground propaganda by means of small pamphlets easily concealed In the pocjtft As a result of about 500 additional troops under command of General Cos. We received orders to prepare for battle. We advanced upon the Mexicans in the following order: Houston, with his artillery, in the center; the cavalry on the right and Colonel Sherman with his troops on our left. The Mexicans had thrown up breastworks out of their baggage about 100 yards south of a belt of timber, where they had stationed their artillery. "Santa Ana's right wing was placed in a thick grove of timber. When we got up pretty close General Houston sent word to Colonel Sherman to attack this position. We were ordered to move forward and hold our fire until orders were given. When we got within sixty or seventy yards we^were ordered to fire. 'Then all discipline so far as Sherman's troops were concerned was at an end. We were all firing as rapidly as possible and the man who first got We Were A l l Firing as Rapidly <*s Possible. his gun reloaded moved on, not waiting for orders. I rushed into the timber and fired again. When the second volley was poured into them in that timber they broke and ran. "I was running on 'a little in front of our men when I was shot down.

I made the acquaintance of Sir John Trefeenna jcoen that well-known British scientist was visiting New York In company with his wife. He was seized with a severe attack of appendicitis, and it was to an operation performed by me at the eleventh hour that he owed his recovery. We grew tp be warm friends, having discovered that we had many* tastes In common; among others, a liking for exploring the mysteries of the skies. For Tregenna was a noted astronomer, and the proud possessor of one of the largest telescopes in England. During the following year I gave up practise, except in cases where I was called in consultation. I had resolved on taking a good long rest, and paying a promised visit to Tregenna. He and his wife were then at their London residence, and I was surprised and pleased to find that Sir John numbered among his intimate friends si former great chum of mine—Dr. Horace Collett. The latter had studied medicine with me, but later had settled In London, where his brilliant talents and American push earned him a place in the front rank of the British medical fraternity. He was the Tregennas' family physician and was much esteemed by them. Sir John had been married several years, but had no children. This fact might possibly account for the gloom which occasionally overshadowed his features, for he owned a large property in Cornwall bearing the name of Tregenna Manor, and as this was, according to English law, strictly entailed, it would go to a distant branch of the family If he died without issue. About this time a total eclipse of the sun was expected to take place In Ceylon and Southern India. Having never seen the great world of light under these interesting circumstances, I gladly accepted an invitation from Tregenna to join a party of solar spec- "troscopists who were starting for India under his leadership. We arrived at our destination in good time, and had the satisfaction of witnessing a total eclipse of nearly six minutes' duration. Having made our observations In the hill country, we immediately afterward started for the coast. On a certain intensely hot night Tregenna and I were standing on the veranda outside one of the big hotels at Madras, when he said abruptly: ."I am rather worried about my wife, Halifax." "Is not Lady Tregenna in good health?" I queried. "I hope so," he said slowly, and then added with a sudden burst of confidence: 'The truth is, Halifax, that when I left England there was a hope that Lady Tregenna might present me with an heir to the property. It was imperative that I should accompany this expedition, or I would not |have left home at such a critical time. I expected news before now. It was arranged that Dr. Collett was to cable to me here. The silence makes me rather uneasy." He had scarcely finished speaking when a servant appeared, bearing two cablegrams on a salver. One was addressed to Tregenna, the other to myself. I noticed that he changed color as he took his from the salver. Out of consideration for him I left the veranda and entered the heated room where we had just dined. I opened my cablegram. It was from Collett, written In cipher, and contained a good deal of valuable information regarding certain discoveries in medicine which corresponded closely with some I had made myself. But the final news in the message startled and distressed me: "Your fellow-traveler, Sir John t r e - genna, Is disappointed of his hope of an heir. Lady Tregenna gave birth to a boy this morning, WJJO only lived an hour.* Sir John's eager face, the look in his eyes when he spoke of an heir to his property, flashed painfully now before my mental vision. The blow he was about to receive was a cruel one. I had Just thrust the cablegram Into my pockety when Tregenna rushed Into t^:;l9<!|a^ # ""$he gasped excitedly, "I contain myself, the reen se. T am the father , and the property Is was a serious error did not dare to tell ad received. His exgreat that to dash ie ground might almost kill him. "You do not realize what this means to me,* he said. "If I have an enemy in the world, it is the man who was to have succeeded me at the Manor. Hie name is Dayrell Tregenna. But the coming of the boy makes i t all right. I am surprised, though, to find that Dr. Collett did not send the cable. It was sent by a Dr. Mason. Collett could not nave been In attendance. I shall leave for home tomorrow. Wish me luck, Halifax," ••With all my heart," I * But \ tbe thought \ of the. lay i n my own brej the word* tfestj "When :y<UHiBssssssssssssssssssssK«^ can lief of a •saved^^y I Bafpgfc eomewfcsra, h i m f h U i citeme his hop self. I only wish we were there now, Halifax."' The next morning Tregenna sailed fpr England, but it so happened that I did not leave India for several months. During that time I was concerned to hear that my special friend, Dr. Collett, who had sent me the cipher cable, had died suddenly. His death had taken place on the very day on which I had received the message. We were greatly attached to each other, and had been associated in more than one investigation, of Interest. Two days before M e n Calcutta for England I received the following from Tregenna. "Dear Halifax: I am given to understand that you will be back in the metropolis some time in June. 1 hope as soon as ever you arrive you will come straight down to Tregenna Manor. I want to show you the boy. He is as fine a lad as the heart of a father could desire. Dayrell is jstill in the country, and sometimes visits at the Manor, but with my heir to look at, I no longer mind him. In short, I breathe freely. Yours, John Tregenna." I was altogether unprepared to receive a letter written in this strain in view of what I had heard from Collett. I had preserved the cablegram, and now took it and read K otver carefully. There was no doubt whatever of the meaning of the words. It stated clearly that Lady Tregenna had given birth to a boy, who had died after an hour of life. I could only J wait for the mystery to unravel itself. I resolved to accept the invitation extended to me, and, in due course of time I arived at Cornwall. • Sir John met me at the station. A l l his taciturnity and gloom had l<rft him—he was now a talkative and cheerful man. "Tbe boy Is in splendid form, Halifax," he cried, as be wrung my hand, "and Lady Tregenna is also in fine health. You will see her for yourself in a few moments." The baronet whipped up his horses, and soon afterward we drew up in front of the fine old mansion. Lady Tregenna was standing on. the steps, a nurse a little behind her holding a baby, in her arms. "Well, Kate," called out her husband, "here is our old friend, Halifax. Bring the lad along. Now, Halifax, what do you think of him, eh?" "He is indeed a fine boy," I remarked to Lady Tregenna. "Curiously enough, I chanced to be in the same hotel at Madras with your husband when he received the cablegram announcing his birth." I surveyed the infant cirtlcally. He was a well-grqwn boy, with somewhat large features, but I could not detect the slightest likeness to either parent. The nurse, a grave, middle-aged woman, with a dark face and thin, compressed lips, took the boy in her arms and vanished with him around a corner of the house. "Look after Halifax, Kate," said Tregenna. "I must go to the stables, but will join you presently." Lady Tregenna conducted me under a thick arch of roses on to a small lawn, where she seated herself by a little tea-table, f5he motioned me to a seat near her. "It is strange," she said, "that you should have been with my husband when he received the message that he was the father of a boy." > "There is something else stranger," I said, impelled by an unaccountable impulse to force my information upon her. "I also received a cablegram In cipher from my old friend, Doctor Collett, on the same night. It gave false information with regard to the matter. Collett told me that your baby died shortly after its birth." Her cheeks flushed crimson, then turned pale. "What an odd mistake to make," she said. "That was absolutely without foundation.' But then, Doctor Collett died on the day of my baby's birth. He may not have known what he was cabling to you about." "I have not mentioned the matter to anyone^" I began, but at that instant we heard Sir John's voice In the distance, and Lady Tregenna motioned me to be silent. "Not a word to him,** she said In an eager whisper. "I would not let him know for the world. He would think it unlucky. You will promise?" "As I did not tell your husband at the time, I should have no reason for repeating the news now," I said. "His affection for the child Is quite touching." That evening Tregenna took me into his study, and we spent a short time examining the valuable photographs he had taken in India of the sun's eclipse. Just before we parted for the night he spoke again of his heir. "So you think»the boy a fine little chap, Halifax," he said. " A n d Lady 'raffannsi shr /iu^a^ed ls> fee peered to take no especial interest in him. Tregennas face grew crimson. "1 see you observe what I notice myself," he exclaimed. "The fact is, there is no accounting for women. I thought that she would have been wild about the lad, but as a matter of fact, she isn't. Not that she neglects him; far from that. She sees that he is tfell looked after, and has him brought to her once or twice daily, but she never pets him. I sometimes think I bore her by the delight which the possession of the child causes me; but there—we will say no more about it. I am keeping you up, and you must-be tired." He conducted me to my room, bade me good-night and -left me. I went to the window, and flung it wide open. Suddenly a longing to steal downstairs and go out for a ramble seized me. No sooner did the notion come to me, than I acted uppn i t The house was already shut up, but I made my way to a side door, which I unbarred, and Let myself out. I wandered down the broad central avenue. I was walking on the'grass and not making the slightest noise, when voices startled me. They seemed to be close by. I stepped into a deep shadow. The first words I heard were in Lady Tregenna's tones. "I cannot go on with this much longer, Dayrell," she cired. "I cannot possibly give you what you ask, for I have not got it. Here, if you must have it, take this ring; it is of great value. If he misses it from my finger I can but tell him another lie." I saw her hand something to a man who stood near, then she turned abruptly and walked back to the house. As soon as she had left him, the man turned to leave the grounds. I made up my mind to follow him. He reached a stile, which he mounted, and which led direct into the high road. Still keeping my distance, I did the same. Presently, in the extreme^ puiet of tbe night, he stoppee still, as if he were listening. The belated moon arose at that instant, ana the manor in the evening. Lady Tregenna was in the garden-; a very small child was toddling by her side. She came forward and greeted me cordially. "It is so good of you to come," she said. As she spoke, she made an effort to smile. I was shocked at the change in her apepaarnce. There were heavy shadows under her eyes, the eyes looked now much too big for the face, the face'was worn to emaciation. When I touched the hand she offered me, it burned as though its owner was consumed by inward fever. At this moment tbe same nurse I had seen a year ago came into view, took the child and carried him away. At Lady Tregennas request I accompanied her to one of the drawing-rooms, where we seated ourselves. "I am about to.confide in you," she said, slowly, "for I am badly in need of advice. I want you to promise that you will not divulge what I am going to tell you, until I give you permis sion." "I will respect your secret, Lady Tregenna," was my reply. "Thank you. Doctor Halifax, when you were here last, you mentioned the receipt of a cablegram from Doctor Colett, the contents- of which puzzled you exceedingly. Well, that cablegram told the truth." "The truth!" I exclaimed, scarcely able to credit what I heard. "Yes, it was true. 1^ will tell you all about it. I was married to Sir John ten years. We believed that we should never have an heir, hut two years ago I found I was about to became a mother. My husband was overjoyed, but it chanced that he had arranged for the expedition to India, in which you took part, and found it impossible to resign his post. He had to leave me, to his inexpressible anxiety. My child was born in London. I was very i l l at its birth, and for some time afterward was unconscious. When I came to my senses the nurse whom I had engaged was standing by the bedsid turning suddenly, he saw me. He halted and waited for me to come up. "By Jove," he cried, as I approached. "I know who you are. Your name is Halifax—you are a special chum of the governor's; you came to the manor to-day." j I glanced at him; his feanirerVere not unlike Sir John's, *but they were much bloated, as if with excessive drinfetng. His lips were thin and cruel, his eyes too closely set together. I made no response to his remark, but continued to look at him steadily. "If you witnessed an interview back therer he said, harshly, "you will do well to say nothing to Sir John about It. Lady Tregenna will find herself in a fine scrape If anything happens to make me cut up rough. Good-night to you." He vanished down a side path, and I slowly returned t o p h e house. I kept my own counsel regarding the meeting of Lady Tregenna and Dayrell in the grounds, nor did I see him again. I returned to New York after a week's visit, and being much occupied, had little time to think about Tregenna's private affairs. A year baiPpassed away, and I found myself in London again,, this time aa a delegate from the American Medical association to the international convention of surgeons and physicians then being held in the British metropolis. The business of the convention had just come to a close, when 1 was surprised to receive a communication from Lady Tregenna, worded as follows: "Dear Doctor Halifax: Having heard that you were attending the medical convention, I made haste to write, and implore you to come down to the manor for a few days. Sir John is in Scotland at presentment I have several firends staying in tbe house, and if you come I can promise you twill not have a lonely r. anxious to cone of vital impormerely,/ i t e T f Lat an and T h e r e 14 aomethin< cbmxiger ", I OAA< she held a beautifully dressed baby in her arms. She bent down and showed me the little fellow; then at a sign from me she laid it by my side. 1 kissed it, and was happy as mother could bo. "'Has Sir John been cabled to yet?' I asked. "She replied that Mr. Dayrell was in the house, and only waited for my authority to send a cablegram, " T e l l him to do so without an Instant's delay,' I responded. ^ "I made a quick recovery, but was astonished to see that Doctor Colett no longer attended me. Another very excellent physician—Doctor Mason— came to see me, however, and 1 did not suspect the truth. When the boy was a fortnight old, the nurse came to me one day and confessed what had really occurred. A few moments after the birth of my baby Doctor Collett had become seriously i l l , and had been obliged to hurry away, leaving the case with the nurse. When he left the house, the baby had shown signs of weakness and want of proper circulation; he thought Its life might be saved, however, and intended to return again within half an hour. As a matter of fact, ten minutes after Doctor Collett left the child died. The nurse sent a hasty message to the doctor, telling him that the baby was dead. Two bours afterward she was startled by getting a message to the effect that Doctor Collett had died suddenly. Dayrell, who had spent the entire day in the house, was pacing up and down in the drawing-room when she ran in to tell him what had' happened. "'This will kill Sir John,* he said. " 'And Lady Tregenna, for that matter,' .replied the nurse. 'They built so much on that child.* "Dayrell stood looking at her for a few moments without speaking. 'You are not welt off, nurse?* he queried at last. "She admitted that she was not; also that she had a sickly child of her own, who depended altogether on exertions to support i t "fesv^hall stay on here, at a high child's nurse,* he said. Cf- " 'The child's nurse!—yoM forget that the child Is'dead,' she returned. " 'Never mind that. Pay attention to me,' he rejoined, 'and I will give you five hundred pounds in addition for your help.' "He then proposed to her that she should conceal the fact ol" the baby's death from me for the present, but he would cable Sir John, in Doctor over a private matter, and should be glad to have you retire," I answered. "I'll do nothing oi' the kind," he returned, sullenly. "Do as you please," I responded indifferently, "After all, -what 1 have got'to say may interest you as well as this woman. Sir John Tregenna has returned, and is at present with, his supposed heir. La^y Tregenna Mason's name, that he was the father \ haB told me everything from her point of a fine boy. Meanwhile, a living child could be substituted in the dead one's place. He knew where he could procure a baby. The fact of Doctor Collett's death would make the certificate of birth wonderfully simple. He would undertake that the dead child would be disposed of without remark. This scheme was duly carried into effect, and when I was made acquainted with the true facts I knew I had been lavishing my affection on the baby of some stranger for over a fortnight. What my feelings were when this revelation was made I cannot describe. Dayrell attempted to console me. " 'Don't be a fool,' he said. 'You want an heir—your husband wants an heir. If he believes you to be the mother of his child, he will be content. You have the heir—and my silence can be bought.' "I was too weak to resist him and the nurse, and yielded to the dastardly scheme. From that hour I have known no peace of mind. Dayrell has blackmailed me to a frightful extent; I have sold nearly all my jewels to satisfy his demands. Tbe nurse and the man know the truth. They promise secrecy only so long as I can supply their demands., 1 have paid Dayrell thousands of pounds since the birth of the child. As for Sir John, he suspects nothing. He is wrapped up in the boy, and of late it is with difficulty that I can get him to return to his old interests in scientific pursuits: 1 never saw anything like his passion for the baby. On the day my husband went to Scotland, that wretch came to me and demanded two thousand pounds. I have not the money—what am I to do?" "You must not on any account yield to fresh attempts at blackmail," I said. "I confess that I cannot see at present how to save you without telling Sir John the truth, but I should like to think over matters. On the face of it, I cannot see why Dayrell Tregenna should wish to supply Sir John with au heir, when the property would come to him, failing issue, after your husband's death." "I can explain, that," said Lady Tregenna. "lie and my husband are very much the same age, but my husband's is in reality a netter life than his. Dayrell is penniless, or nearly so; he has married beneath him and has a large family. At intervals he has dreadful bouts of drinking, an/1 it is altogether likely that in thu n.uu.nl course of things Sir John would outlive him. Therefore, he concocted the scheme for the sole purpose of raising ready cash." "You must have patience, and allow me to act for you now," 1 said. "It has been my good fortune to g"t people out of difficulties nearly as bad as yours. I am glad you have had the COM rage to tell me tho truth. 1 will think things over and have another talk with you tomorrow." That night, to my astonishment and disgust, Dayrell Tregenna was one of the guests at dinner. The whole party went early to bed; I spent an anxious and wakeful night. The next morning when I went downstairs I was surprised to meet none other than Sir John himself in the hall. He shook hands with me cordially. "Hallfax, of all people!" he cried. "Yes, I have returned unexpectedly; the wife does not yet know that I am in the house, but I have just sent a message to the nurse to bring the boy down/ At that moment the nurse appeared with the child. He caught sight of his supposed father and rushed forward to meet him, crowing joyously. Sir John clasped him in his arms, and turned to me with his face shining with triumph. It was Just then that I noticed something which 1 had failed to observe when I had seen the baby a year ago. The child now bore an unmistakable and very striking likeness to his father—his eyes, smile and the sturdy way he held his shoulders, were an exact replica of Sir John. The instant I made this discovery there flashed through my mfnd a possible solution of the mystery. Sir John was so taken up with the baby that he paid no auction to my movements. 1 went to the nurse. "I am anxious to have a word with you in private," I said. "Very well," she responded, with a slightly startled look. She walked down the corridor and opened a side door which led into a shrubbery, and I followed. "I want to ask you a straight question," I said. "I had an interview with your mistress yesterday, in which she told m e the history of the child, which she believes to be true. What Is your name?" "Mrs. Hodgkins," was the reply. "Well, Mrs. Hodgkins, the whole story is very strange, lender ordinary to bring a detective down from Lon» don to probe the matter. For instance, before believing the version which jrou and Mr. Dayrell Tregenna palmed off on Lady Tregenna, there are some questions to be answered. Where was burled the real baby to whom she gave birth? Where did you find the child who was substituted?" "Now, what Is rill this about?*1 said another voice. I turned and saw Dayrell standing before me. He looked more bloated and disreputable than eyer. "I am talking w l A Mrs. Hodgkins of view. It is my conviction that she has been deceived. And—" "I shall tell you all you want te know, sir," interupted the nurse. At these unexpected words Dayrell turned pale. He looked at the woman viciously, and made a step for* ward, as though to strike her. "Stand back, you plotting hound" I said to him savagely, and stepped between him and the nurse. His hand dropped, and he moved a pace from me. "I am a widow with one child " said Mrs. Hodgkins. "When I came to nurse tbe lady I happened to meet Mr. Dayrell before the birth of the child. He spoke- to me and expressed his disgust at the possibility of an heir being born. When the child arrived there were grave doubts at first as to whether be would survive. Dr. Collett had to leave the house shortly after his birth, owing to an attack of illness, which later carried him off. After his departure Mr. Dayrell came to me and asked me how the baby was. I told him be was in a bad way, but there was a chance for him to pull through, and hurried back to attend to bim. A n hour after the child was breathing freely, and all danger was over. I was engaged in attending to him, when that villain came to the bedroom door and called me outside. He offered to pay me £500 if 1 would act on his suggestion, and send a message to Dr. Collett that the child had died. I believe that his first intention was to send the living child away and substitute a dead child in its place, which he was confident he could procure. I needed the money badly, and consented to his horrible suggestion. I sent a message to the doctor to say that the baby had died. Almost immediately afterward a message came to say that Dr. Collett had died suddenly, and that another physician would be sent to attend on Lady Tregenna. On hearing this news Mr. Dayrell completed his plot. He saw there was now no necessity to fetch another baby. Dr. Collett's death had simplified matters. When Lady Tregenna was sufficiently strong, she was to be told that the real baby had died apd that another had been substituted in its place. " 'As I can no longer inherit the property,' said Mr. Dayrell, 'the only thing left to me to do is to make money. I will make thousands out of that unlucky child. Her ladyship will believe that ho is not her own, and 1 Khali blackmail her to any extent.' "And so he did. He paid me, of course, but no money was worth the misery I endured. I saw my poor mistress fading before my eyes; she could not love the child that she belie- ved was not her own. At last I began to fear for her roason. Oh, what is to be done?" The woman .sobbed, and T turned to speak to Dayrell, but he had disappeared. "Lady Tregenna must, of course, know the truth," I said; "but the question Is whether Sir John is to be informed or not I think it would be cruel to tell him. Your confession will give immense relief to your mistress— and I believe Dayrell will consent to Joave the country for his own sake. Come with me to Lady Tregenna. " We went straight to her ladyship's room. 1 tapped at the door and was admitted at once, the nurse follow* ing. "I have come to tell you, Lad* Tregenna," I said, "that you have been the victim of a terrible hoax The child is really your own. Nurse, tell your story." The woman did so, and Lady T r e genna listened with alternate shades of hope and fear coming and goina over her pale face. When Mrs. Hodgkins had finished her tale, the mothei laughed hysterically. "Thank God," she cried, "I can love the child now; be is really my own, my baby." We finally agreed that i t was unnecessary for Sir John ever to know the real facts of the case. Dayrell left the country forever. A s to the nurse, she received a month's wages in lieu of notice, but the remorse ot her own conscience was the only otb*r punishment accorded to her.

'* CHAPTER III. (Continued). The next day Yancy had occasion1 to visit Balaam's Cross Roads. Crenshaw gave him a disquieting opinion as to the probable contents of his letter, Cor he himself had heard from Bladen that he had decided to asasume^ the care of the boy. "I reckon Bladen will have the law «m Jala side, Bob!" "Whe law be damned—I got what's fair <oa mine. I don't wish fo' better than, that," exclaimed Yancy, over his shoulder. He strode from the store -end started down the sandy road at a inrisk run. Miserable forebodings of An Impending tragedy leaped up withi n him, and the miles were many that lay between him and the Hill. Aa he breasted the slope he came within sight of a little group in his own dooryard. Saving only Uncle Sammy Bellamy, the group resolved Itself into the women and children or the Hill, but there was one small r&gure he missed. The patriarch hurried* toward him, leaning on hls^ane. ""Tfeeyfye top,k;,your jnewy, Bob!" he cried, in a high, thin voice. •Whole took aim?" asked Yancy hoarsely. "Hit wepe ©ave Blount. Get yoor emu.

As the 1 buggycame nearer he recogntaed his . ancient enemy In the person of the man wfco sat at Hannibal's side, and stepping into the road seised the horses by their bits. At sight of hint Ifisranjbal shrinked his name In do* flight: ^J&ole Bob—Uncle Bob—" he cried. "Yes, it's Uncle Bob. You can light down, Nevvy." "Leggo them horses!" said Mr. filonnt. "Light down, Newy," said Yancy, stfll pleasantly. Hannibal instantly availed himself of the invitation. At the same, motftent Blount struck at Taney with his whip, and his horses reared wildly, thinking the blow meant for them. ^Seeing that the boy had reached the ground in safety, Yancy relaxed his hold on the team, which instantly plunged forward. Then as the buggy swept past hrra he made a grab at Blount and dragged him out over the 'wheels Into the road. Where he proceeded to fetch Mr. Blount a smack in the jaw. Then with a final skilful kick 'he sent Mr. Blount sprawling. '"Don't let me catch you around these diggings again, Dave Blount, or 1 swear to God I'll be the death of you!" Hannibal rode home through the the name both Yancy and Balaam manifested Interest. They saw a man In the early twenties, clean-limbed and broad-shouldered, with a handsome face and shapely head. "Yes, sir, hit's a grandson of Tom earrington that used to own the grist-mill down at the Forks." "Where you located at, Mr. Car* rington?" asked Yancy. But Carrington was not given a chance to ^Jgfx Uncle Sammy saved him the trouble? "Back in Kentucky. He takes rafts down the river to New Orleans, then he comes back on ships to Baltimore, or else he hoofs it no'th overland. He wants to visit the Forks," he added. "I'm shortl^goln* that way myself, Mr. Car rington, xand I'll be pleased of your company—but first I got to get through with Bofr Yancy," said Balaam, and again he produced the war* rant. "If agreeable to you, Bob, I'll ask Uncle' Sammy to read this here warrant." "Wise's J>een a-warranttn' Bob Yancy?" cried Uncle Sammy. "Dave Blount has." "I knowed hit—I knowed he's try to get ev*»!

After. s> moment's scnU4ny of the paper that Balaam had thrust ia* bis band, Caerington began: "To the Sheriff of the €toonty of Cunv berland: Greetings* just the same and I'd have had.my navvy out of that buggy!" "Didn't he say nothing about this here order from the co't, Bob?" "There wa'n't much conversation, squire. I invited my nevvy to light down, and then I snaked Dave Blount out over the wheel." "Who struck the first blowr "He did. He struck at me with his buggy whip." Squire Balaam removed his spectacles and leaned back in his chair. "It's the opinion of this here co't that the whole question ot assault rests on whether Bob Yancy saw the order. Bob Yancy swears he didn't see It, while Dave Blount swears he showed It to him. If Bob Yancy didn't know of the existence of the order he was clearly actin' on the idea that Blount was stealln' his nevvy, and he done what any one would have done under the circumstances. If, on the other hand, he knowed of this order from tbe co't, he was not only guilty of assault, but he was guMty of resistin' an officer ef the co't." The squire paused impressively. His audience drew a long breath. "Can a body drata a word here?" Itxwas Unde Sammy's thin voice that cor into the silence. "Certainly,. Uncle Sammy.

Betty Malroy had ridden into the squire's yard during the progress of the trial and when Yancy and Han* nibal came from the house she beck* oned the Scratch* Hiller to her. "You are not going to lose-your nephew, are you, Mr. Yancy?" she asked eagerly, when Yancy stood at her side. "No, ma'am." But his sense of elation was plainly tempered. "I am very glad. I rode out to the Hill to say good-by to Hannibal and to yon, but they said you were here and that the trial was today." Captain Murreli, with Crenshaw and the squire,*came from the house, and Murrell's swarthy face lit up at sight of the girl. Yancy would have yield ed his place, but Betty detained him. "Are yon going'away, ma'am?" 'he asked with concern. "Yes—to my home In west Tesnes see." aad a cloud crossed her smooth brow. "But ain't yen ever coming back. Miss Betty?" asked Hannibal rather fearfully. "Oh, I hope so, dear." She turned to Yancy.. "I wearier you don't leave the Hill, Mr. Yatacy.

Oddities of Justice. That tbe whole theory of penal codes is practically unsound and opposed to the modern conceptions of the relation of the state to crime, is the contention of Eugene Smith of the New York bar, writing in the May number of Case and Comment, the lawyers1 magazine. Illustrating the absurdity and disparity between penalty for crimes in different states, Mr. Smith says: "The average sentence for perjury in Florida is ten years, in Maine one year; for larceny, in Delaware ten years, in the District of Columbia ten months; the penalty for arson in Pennsylvania is twice that of burglary, but in Connecticut the guilt of burglary is twice that of arson; the guilt of counterfeiting in Ohio is twice that of perjury, but in Rhode Island the guilt of'jj^tarir is twice that of counterfelt^f^.^ I n ., - ¾ ¾ ¾ * heTe f p g nek a vc] o w t h of C o r n iod when the out with most nutrirn ripens the hs, and finally $n&,v .

There have been various systems or methods of classification by pomol- Qgists for centuries past. Some of them have been very curiously, not to say absurdly, founded on certain real or imaginary characteristics, while others were quite reasonable anof prac tical. TfceHaest of them all, according Ate'my* judgment, is the. system devised and published by Dr. John A. Warder, of Ohio, in 4iis American Pomology. The first divisions in his classification are based upon the shape of the vertical sections and are four in number: Class I, Oblate or Flat; Class II, Conical; Class III, Round or Globular; Class IV, Oblong. Next comes the shape of the cross or transverse sections, called Orders, of Nvhich there are two, Regular and Irregular. The The "Analysis of an Apple." < ' • . third stage in the system is regarding the flavor, which are termed Sections, of which there are two. Section 1 includes the varieties that are sweet and Section 2 t*. se that are subacid or sour. The last set of this descriptive classification is made up of three Subsections. The first of these includes all varieties that are yellow or green and may be blushed and even quite covered witl*f retf in, some rare cases, bu£ never sinned. f By this system almost any apple may be properly classified, and if listed and described in detail might be identified by any careful student of pomology. While there was never but one edition Dr. Warder's book on apples, American Pomology, and that was issued i n 1867, and many valuable varieties have been introduced since that date, it is even now the best of all our books on apples, by which they may be studied and Identified. While there are great ranges of variation within the individual limits of any variety, there are certain characteristics that are quite constant and dependable, and upon these any intelligent classification must be based. Mere alphabetical or other ordinary arrangement is of much less value. To describe an apple i n such manner as will lead to an understanding of its individual peculiarities I have made a drawing of a specimen of the Delicious that was grown in California The most important parts are named and pointed out in such a way that they may be studied. To begin with, the form, which is one of the first points fhat anyone will notice, may be fiat, conical, round or oblong, as looked at from the side, and round, elliptical, irregular or even angular when observ-, ing from either end. The size may he large, medium o r small. The depression In which the stem is set is called the cavity, and i t may be regular, irregular, or lipped; large or small; deeih medium or shallow; ''with a While the late Russell Sage was i n the flesh he was one of the most prudent, shrewd and persistent moneygrubbers in Gotham, The astute financier never plunged nor risked anymoney in wild-cat schemes. He was a "sure-shot" operator in Wall street, steep, abrupt or wide slope; it. may 1 a n a when he died he left in the hands T h e r e a r e G r e a t R&fsTrfafi o f V a r i a t i o n W i t t r t a I n d i v i d u a l L i m i t s o f A n y V a r i e t y , T h e r e a r e C e r t a i n C h a r a c t e r i s t i c s C o n s t a n t a n d D e p e n d a b l e f o f ^ C I & s s { * i < ^ t £ ^ / ~ r : have russet* markings that are ffirge," medium or faint, or none at all. The stem may be long, medium or short; slender, stout' or fleshy. Sometimes a variety will have stems of all these, descriptions, but they are generally of one type. The depression at the calyx or blossom end of an apple is called the basin. It may b^ regular^ irregular, waved, furrowed or knobby; deep, medium, shallow or wanting; wide or narrow; marked with russet either cracked or smooth. The calyx may be open or closed; with the sepals long or short, upright or refiexed. The surface is smooth, rough, bloomed or russeted. The color, yellow, green, blushed, red striped and with all possible variations of intensity and lightness of shadings, mottling, splashings and suffusions. The dots are very characteristic and quite constant. They are numerous or scattering; large or small; dark or light; round or pointed; with light, dark, green and sometimes on raised bases. The skin may be thick and tough or thin and tender. The flesh ia yellow, white or stained with red and very rarely pink throughout; and its texture may be fine or coarse; "firm, tender or soft; and in weight light or heavy. The core may be large, medium or small; conical, round or oblate; open o r closed; meeting or separate from the tube. The calyx tube large or small; long or short. Axial diameter long or short. Seeds numerous or few; large or small; plump or narrow; light or dark brown. Flavor sweet, subacid or soar; rich aromatic or spicy. Quality good, very good, best or poor. Season very early, early, mid-summer, fall, early winter, mid*winter and late winter. Thus it is that a pomologist would describe an apple. Blanks for descriptions .are prepared for the government records-aid also by some of the states. I have them for my own private use i n keeping records of the varieties I have examined. Paintings, models and .historical notes of all interesting fruits are also made and carefully preserved in the office of the U . Porno log ist at Washington, which is vork that I planned and Instituted when I was i n charge of that office over 20 years ago. These records are of inestimable value and will be more more so as time advances.

Since "becoming possessed of this enormous fortune she has worked as persistently and assiduouosjy in scattering the money as her husband did in gathering it. The scriptures tell us that the miser is the man that "heaps up riches- and cannot: tell who shall gather them." Russell Sage knew better, and the good lady upon whose shoulders was imposed the burden of this enormous sum of'money has worked hard In lightening the burden. Her philanthropies have been productive of as much wisdom as marked her husband's operations in the market. She is reported to be failing in health, and her task is only begun. Should she be taken from the world thousands will regret her departure, and it is very earnestly to be hoped that further care of the property will fall into good hands.

H O O D W I N K E D B U L L IS S A F E Leather Device Can Be Put Over Eyes ef Ugly Animal, Giving Good Ventilation and Light. The following description of a hood for a bull that has become breachy Is written by a contributor to Hoard's Dairyman: I got a flank of leather for about $1.25, took a good five-ring halter that fit (you can vary the size), cut the front, 13 Inches at top by 8 inches at bottom and 12 inches long; two side pieces 8 inches wide at top bv 6 Bull hoodwinked. Inches bottom, 12 inches long; cut front of aide pieces square, back on a miter. Put inside of leather together, black side down of front and up of side, rivet about three-fourths of an inch from edge with copper belt rivets and burs long enough to rivet well, and 1¼ inches apart center to center (as he will try it severely). The hood will stand open like a box at corners over his eyes, giving good ventilation and some li^ht. Rivet back of side pieces to side strap of halter between the rin|s, make a loop around back of upper ring and rivet; rivet a strap to lower corner of side piece; rivet bottom of front to nose Jrtece of halter. The drawing shows how it is used. Those who have tried it recommend it. K I C K I N G C O W IS E L I M I N A T E D Rods Arranged in Manner Shown Illustration That Will Do Away With Vicious Animal. in Draw the rods out, lead the cow i n from behind, place the rods i n position again, tie the cow to manger post and go to milking. The cow can't kick, says a writer i n the Farm Stops Kicking Cow. and Fireside. I am using one of these devices and rind it a pleasure to milk now, when I was always i n fear before. The Kerry Cow. The Kerry cow is a light framed cow of varying size, but generally smaller than the-*Ayrshire. She is black in hair. The Dexter, although derived from the same stock, is quite different, being tttick and blocky, and in color may be either black or red. Both of these cattle are particularly goed dairy cows, doing well in moderate feeding and giving surprisingly large quantities of milk, very rich. Many Kerries give quite as rich milk as is produced by. the Jersey. The Kerry does not fatten kindly until she has reached full age, but the Dexter may be fattened younger. Does Silage Affect the Flavor? Have you noticed anything different in the flavor of the milk since you began feeding silage? If there is any change at all the flavor will be a little more pleasant, says O. E . Reed, head of the dairy department at the Kansas State Agricultural college. But if the silage is allowed to ferment too long and then fed, the milk will have a taint much like that noticed when weeds are eaten i n the summer. • Ground Grain \W Best. If a farmer who is really trying to learn how to conduet his business most economically will make a common- sense test during a season of, say, six months, feeding a portion of his cows ground grain, and the same number whole grain, noting the difference in milk flow, he will then come pretty near knowing the truth. few. Profits Prom a Creamery. The total profits from a creamery will depend largely upon the amount of eream that can be bought. If the factory can be run at Its capacity, it will be much more profitable than i f only half the amount of cream desired Is secured.

This remarkable simplicity makes disorders practically impossible. This transmission gives a polling power that will take the car easily through bad, muddy and sandy roads and even up 50 per cent grades. With the chain in oil drive there is no waste of power.

Theodore Roosevelt's arrival in Chicago to take personal charge of his fight for the presidential nomination was fully as spectacular as even he could wish. He was met at the railroad station by a great crowd of admirers.

Here the crush was 'such as to threaten life and limb. The colonel literally fought his way to a balcony of the hotel, from which he talked to the massed thousands below. Something of the piercing quality of the famous "rebel yell' characterized the snapping cheers which interrupted Roosevelt's speech from the hotel balcony shortly after his arrival. The feeling that matters had come to some kind of a crisis permeated both factions. Gov. Tasker L .

"Yes, I dare say you are right I jwas up at Evergreen at the time looki n g after timber interests, when a mule came wandering into the camp, saddle and pack still on his back." "I knowed that there mule/' said Kirkby, "I'd sold It to a feller named Newbold, that had come out yere an' married Louise Rosser, old man Roster's daughter, an' him dead, an' beln' an' orphan an' this feller beln' a fine young man from tbe east>not a bit of ia tenderfoot nuther, a minin' engineer he called hlsself." i "Well, I happened to be there, too, jyou remember," continued Maitland, !**and they made up a party to go and tiunt up the man, thinking something might have happened." "You see," explained Kirkby, "we firas all mighty fond of Louise Rosser. Ke hull camp was actln' like a father her at the time, so long *s she. badn't nobody else; we was all at the fweddin*, too, some six months afore. fThe gal married him on her own book, of course nobody makln' her, [but somehow she didn't seem none itoo happy, although Newbold, Who fwas a perfect gent, treated her white as far as we knowed." The old man stopped again and returned his pipe. "Kirkby, you tell the story," said Maitland. i "Not me," said Kirkby. "I have seen men shot afore for takin' words out 'n other men's mouths an' I ain't iiever done that yit." ~~"You always were one, of, .the most Bilent men I ever saw," laughed George. "Why, that day Pete yere got jahot accidental an' had his whole jbreast tore out w'en we was lumber- Hug over on Black mountain, ail. you ©aid was, 'Wash him off, put some axle grease on him an' tie him up.'-" 'That's so," answered Pete, "an' there must have been somethin' powerful soothin' in that axle grease, for (here I am safe an' sound to this day." "It takes an old man," assented [Kirkby, "to know when to keep his mouth shet. I learned it at the muzzle of a gun." "I never knew before," laughed Maitland, "how still a man you can Ibe. Well, to resume the story, having .nothing to dp I went out with the posse the sheriff gathered up—" "Him not thinkin' there had been any foul play," ejaculated the old man. "No, certainly not." "Well, what happened, Uncle Bob?" Inquired Enid. "Just you wait," said young Bob, who had heard the story. "This is an awful good story, Cousin Enid." "I can't wait much longer,0 returned <the girl. "Please go on." "Two days after we left the camp, we came across an awful figure, ragged, blood stained, wasted to a skeleton, starved—" "I have seed men in extreme cases afore," interposed Kirkby, "but never none like him." "Nor I," continued Maitland. "Was it Newbold?" asked Enid. "Yes." "And what had happened to him?" "He and his wife had been prospecti n g in these very mountains; she had fallen over a cliff and broken herself «o terribly that Newbold had to shoot her." ^ • "What!" exclaimed Bradshaw. "You don't mean that he actually Killed h e r r "That's what be done," answered Old Kirkby. ^ "Poor mar** murmured Enid, j "But why?" as«ed Philips. "They were five days away from a settlement, there wasn't a human being within a hundred and fifty miles of them, not even an Indian/1 continued Maitland. "She was so frightfully broken and mangled that he couldn't carry her away." "But why; couldn't be leave her and go for heltffcvasked Bradshaw. "The wolves, tbe bears, or the vultures woufcr S $ v & g o t her.

"What happened then?" "I went back to the camp," said Maitland. "We loaded Newbold on a mule and took him with us; he was so crazy he didn't know what was happening; he went over the shooting again and again in his delirium. It was awful." "Did he die?" "I don't think so," was the answer, "but really I know nothing further about him. There were some good women in that camp; we put him In their hands and 1 left shortly afterwards." "J kin tell the rest," said'old Kirkby. "Knowin' more about the mountains than most people hereabouts I led the men that didn't go back with Bob an' Newbold to the place w'ere he said his woman fell, an' there we found her, her body leastways." "But the wolves?" queried the girl. "He'd drug her into a kind of a holler and piled rocks over her. He'd gone down into the canon, w'lch was something frightful, an' then climbed up to w'ere she'd lodged. W e r had plenty of rope, havin' brought it along a purpose, an' we let ourselves down to the shelf where she was a lyin'. We wrapped her body up In blankets an' roped it an' flnally_ drug her up on the old Injun trail, leastways I suppose it was made afore there was any Injuns, an' brought her back to Evergreen camp, w'lch the only thing about it that was green was the swing doors on the saloon. We got a parson out from Denver %n' give her a Christian burial." "Is that all?" asked Enid as the old man paused again." "Nope." "Oh. the man?'* exclaimed the wornan with quick Intuition. "He recovered his senses so they told us, an' we'en we got back he'd gone." "Where?" was the instant question. Old Kirkby stretched out his hands. "Don't ax me," he said, "he'd jest gone. I ain't never seed or heerd of him sence. Poor little Louise Rosser, she did have*a hard time." "Yes," said Enid, "but.I think the man had a harder time than she. He loved her?" "It looked like it," answered Kirkby. "If you had seen him, his remorse, his anguish, his horror," said Maitland, "you wouldn't have had any doubt about it. But it is getting late. In the mountains everybody gets up at daybreak. Your Bleeping bags are In the tentl, ladies; time to go to bed." As the party broke up, old Kirkby rose slowly to his feet; he looked meaningly toward the young woman, upon whom the spell of the tragedy still lingered, he nodded toward the young brook, and then repeated his speaking glance at her. His meaning was patent, although no one else had seen tne covert invitation. "Come Kirkby," said the girl in quick response, "you shall be /my escort. I want a drink before I turn in. No, never mind," she said, as Bradshaw and Philips both volunteered, "not this time." The old frontiersman and the young girl strolled off together. They stopped by the brink of the rushing torrent a few yards away. The noise that it made drowned the low tones of their voices and kept the others, busy preparing to retire, from hearing what they\said. "That ain't quite all the story, Miss Enid A said the old trapper meaningly. "There, was another man." "What!" exclaimed the girl. "Oh, there wasn't nothin' wrong with Louise Rosser, w'lch she was Louise Newbold. but there was another man; I suspected it afore, that's why she was sad. W'en we found her body I knowed it." "I dcn't understand." "These'll explain," said Kirkby. He drew out from his rough hunting coat a package of soiled letters; they were carefully enclosed in an oil skin and tied with a faded ribbon. "You see," he continued, holding them in his band yet * carefully concealing them from the people at the tire. "W'en she fell oh? .Jfie, cliff—somehow the mule lost his footin', nobody never knowed how, leastways the mule was dead an' couldn't tell—she struck on a stfur or shelf about a hundred feet below the brink; evidently she' was carrvin' the letters In her dress. Her bosotn was frightfully tore open an' the letters was lyin' there. Newbold didn't see^em, because he went down into the canon an' came up to the shelf, or butte head, w'ere the body was lyin', but we dropped down. 1 was the first man down an' 1 got 'em. Nobody else seein' me, an' there ain't no human eves, not even my wire's, that's ever looked on them letter?, except mine and pow yourn.'L/ "You are going to give them to "I rather guess them Ietters'U tell," I tied, or learning the mysteries of rod answered the old man evasively, "an I like you, and I don't want to see you throwed away." "What do you mean?" asked the girl curiously, thrilling to the solemnity of the moment, the seriousness, the kind affection of the old frontiersman, the weird scene, the fire light, the tents gleaming ghostlike, the black wail of the canon and the tops of the moun- ^ tain range broadening out beneath the stars in the clear sky where they twinkled above her head, the strange and terrible story, and now the letters in her hand, which somehow seemed to be Imbued with human feeling. Kirkby patted her on the shoulder. "Read the letters," he said; "they'll tell the story. Good night." hull story/' C H A P T E R IV, The Poo! and the Water Sprite. Long after the others in the camp had sunk into the profound slumber of weary bodies and good consciences, a solitary candle in the small tent occupied by Enid Maitland alone gave evidence that she was busy over-the letters which Kirkby had handed to her. It was- a very thoughtful girl indeed who confronted the old frontiersman the next morning. At the first convenient opportunity when they were alone together she handed him the packet of letters. "Have you read 'em?" he asked. "Yes." "Wall, you keep 'em," said the old man gravely. "Mebbe you'll want to read 'em agin." "But I don't understand why you want me to have them." "Wall, I'm not quite sure myself why, but leastways I do an'—" "I shall be very glad to keep them," said the girl still more gravely, slipping them Into one of the pockets of her hunting shirt as she spoke. The packet was not bulky, the letters w<§-e not many nor were they of any great length. She could easily carry them on her person and in some strange and unexpMcable way she was rather glad to have them. She could not, as she had said, see any personal application to herself in them, and yet in some -way she did feel that the solution of the mystery would be hers some day. Especially did she think this on account of the strange but quiet open emphasis of the old hunter. There was much to do about the camp in the morning. Horses and burros to be looked after, fire wood to be cut, plans for the day arranged, excursions laid out, mountain climbs projected. Later on unwonted hands must be taught to cast the fly for the mountain trout which filled the brook and pool, and all the varied duties, details and fascinating possibilities of camp life must be explained to the newcomers. The first few days were days of learning and preparation, days of mishap and misadventure, of joyous laughter over blunders in getting setand line, or becoming hardened and acclimated. The weather proved perfect; it was late October and the nights were very cold, but there was no rain and the bright sunny days were invigorating and exhilarating to the last degree. They had huge fires and plenty of blankets and the colder it was In the night the better they slept. It was an intensely new experience for the girl from Philadelphia, but she showed a marked Interest and adaptability, and entered with the keenest zest into all the opportunities of the charming days. She was a good sportswoman and she soon learned to throw a fly with the best of them. Old Kirkby took her under his especial protection and as he was one of the best rods in the mountains, she had every advantage. She had always, lived in the midst of life. Except in the privacy of her own chamber she had rarely ever been alone before—not twenty feet from a man, she thought whimsically, but here the charm of solitude attracted her, she liked to take her rod and wander off alone. She actually enjoyed it. The main stream that flowed down the canon was fed* by many affluents from the mountain sides, and In each of them voracious trout appeared. She explored them as she had opportunity, sometimes with the others, but more often by herself. She discovered charming and exquisite nooks, little stretches of grass, the size perhaps of a small room, flower decked, ferny bordered, overshadowed by tall giant pine trees, the sunlight filtering through their thin foliage, checkering the verdant carpet beneath. Huge moss covered boulders, wet with the everdashing spray of the roaring brooks, lay in midstream and with other natural stepping stones hardby Invited her to cross to either shore. Waterfalls laughed musically in her ears, deep still pools tempted her skill and address. Sometimes leaving rod and basket by the waterside, she climbed some particularly steep acclivity of the canon wall and stood poised, wind blown, a nymph of the woods, upon some pinnacle of rock rising needlelike at the canon's edge above the sea of verdure which the wind waved to and fro beneath her feet. There in the bright light, with the breeze blowing her golden hair, she looked like some Norse goddess, blue eyed, exhilirated, triumphant. She was a perfectly formed woman on the ancient noble lines of Mlio rather than the degenerate softness of Medici. She grew stronger of limb and fuller of breath, quicker and steadier of eye and hand, cooler of nerve, in these demanding, compelling adventures among the rocks in this mountain air. She was not a tall woman, indeed slightly under rather than over the medium size, but she was so perfectly proportioned, she carried herself with the fearlessness of a young chamois, that she looked taller $ \ "**ad Utters?' He 8alcL 50 than she was. There was not an ounce of superfluous flesh upon her, yet she had the grace ot Hebe, the strength of Pallas Athene, and the swiftness of motion of Atalanta. Had she but carried bow and spear, had she worn tunic and sandals; she might have stood for Diana and she would have had no cause to blush by comparison witf the finest model of Praxiteles' chisel or the most splendid and glowing example of Appelles' brush. Uncle Robert was delighted with her; his contribution to her western outfit was a small Winchester. She displayed astonishing aptitude under his instructions and soon became wonderfully proficient with that deadly weapon and with a revolver also. There was little danger to bo apprehended in the daytime among the mountains, the more experienced men thought, still it was wise for the girl always to have a weapon In readiness, so in her journeyings, either the Winchester was slung from her shoulder or carried in her hand, or else the Colt dangled a i her hip. At first she took both, but finally It was with reluctance that she could be persuaded to take either. Nothing had ever happened. Save for a few birds now and then she had seemed tbe only tenant of the wilderness of her choice. One night after a camping experience of nearly two weeks In the mountains and just before the time for breaking up and going back to civilization, she announced that early the next morning she was going down the canon for a day's fishing excursion. None of the party had ever followed the little river very far, but it was known that some ten miles below the stTeam merged in a lovely gemlike lake in a sort of crater in the mountains. From thence by a series of water falls It descended through the foothills to the distant plains beyond. The others bad arranged to climb one especially dangerous and ambition provoking peak which towered above them and which had nevei before been surmounted so far as they knew. Enid enjoyed mountain climbing. She liked the uplift in feeling that came from going higher and higher till some crest was gained, but on this occasion they urged her to accompany them In vain. When the fixity of her decision was established she had a number of offers to accompany her, but declined them all, bidding the others go their way- Mrs. Maitland, who was not feeling very well, old Kirkby, who had climbed too many mountains to feel much interest in that game, and Pete the horse wrangler, who had to look after the stock, remained in camp; the others with the exception of Enid started at daybreak for their long ascent. She waited until tbe sun was about an hour high and then bade good-bye to the three and began the descent of the canon. Traveling light, for she was going far—farther, indeed, than she knew—she left her Winchester at home, but carried the revolver with the fishing tackle and substantial luncheon. Now the river—a river by courtesy only—and the canon turned sharply back on themselves just beyond the little meadow where the camp was pitched. Past the tents that had been their home for this Joyous period the river ran due east for a few hundred feet, after which it curved sharply, doubled back and flowed westward for several miles before it gradually swung around to the east on its proper course again. It had been Enid's purpose to cut across the hills and strike the river where it turned eastward once more, avoiding the long detour back. In fact, she had declared her intention of doing that to Kirkby and be had given her careful directions so that she should not get lost in the mountains. But she had plenty of time and no excuse or reason for saving it, she never tired of the charm of the canon; therefore, instead of plunging directly over the spur of the range, she followed the familiar trail and after she had passed westwardVffar beyond the limits of the camp fcjjgthe turning, she decided, in accordance with that utterly irresponsible thing, a woman's will, that she would not go down the canon tbat day after all, but ttfat she would cross back over the range and strike the river a few miles above the camp and go u p the canon. She had been up in that direction a few times, but only for a short distance, as the ascent above, the camp was very sharp, in fact for a little more than a mile the brook was only a succession of water fall; tbe best4 fishing was below the camp and the finest woods were deeper in the canon. She suddenly concluded that she would like to see what was up in that unexplored section of the country and so, with scarcely a momentary hesitation* she abandoned ber, former plan and) began the ascent of the range. Upon decisions so lightly taken what momentous consequences Jde» | pond? Whether she should go up the stream or down the stream, whether she should follow the rivulet to Its source or descend it to its mouthy was apparently a matter of little mr> ment, yet her whole life turned absolutely upon that decision. The idle and unconsidered choice of the hour, was frought witb gravest possibilities. Had that election been made with any suspicion, with any foreknowledge, hajj It come as the result of careful reasoning or far-seeing of probabilities, it might have been understandable* but an Impulse, a whim, the vagrant idea of an idle hour, the careless chance of a moment, and behold! a life Is changed. On one side were youth and innocence, freedom and happiness, a happy day, a good rest by the cheerful fire at night; on the other, peril of life, struggle, love, jealousy, self sacrifice, devotion, suffer. Ing, knowledge—scarcely Eve herself when she stood apple In hand with Ignorance and pleasure around her and enlightenment and sorrow before her, had greater choice to make. How fortunate we are that the future Is veiled, that the psalmist's prayer that he might know his end and be certified how- long he had to live is one that will not and cannot be granted; that it has been given to but One to foresee his own future, The Girl 8tood as It Were on the Roof of the World. for no power apparently could enable ua to stand up against what might be, because we are only human beings not sufficiently alight with the spark divine. We wait for the end because we must, but thank God we know it not until It comes. Nothing of this appeared to the girl that bright sunny morning. Fate hid in those mountains under the guise or fancy. Lighthearted, carefree, fitted with buoyant Joy over every fact of life, she left the flowing water and scaled the cliff beyond which in the wilderness she was to find after all, the world. The ascent was longer and more difficult and dangerous than she had Imagined when she first confronted it, perhaps it was typical and foretold her progress. More than once she had to stop and carefully examine the face of the canon wall for a practicable trail; more than once she had to exercise extremes* care in her climb* but she was a bold and fearless mountaineer by this time and at last surmounting every difficulty she stood panting slightly, a little tired, but triumphant upon the summit. The ground was rocky and broken, the timber line was close above her and she judged that she must be several miles from the camp. The canon was very crooked, she could see only a few hundred yards of it in any direction. She scanned her circumscribed limited horizon eagerly for the smoke from the great fire tbat they always kept burning In the camp, hot not a sign of it was visible. She was evidently a thousand feet above the river whence she had come, fier standing ground was a rocky ridge which fell away more gently on the other side for perhaps two hundred feet toward the same brook.

If by the ordinary wage earner we mean the average wage earner then we are dealing with a general average wage of considerably less than $12 per week for the' fifty-two weeks in the year. The present cost of bare necessities of life prohibits the saving of any considerable amount from the meager wages of the average wage earner. Certainly he cannot save enough in his prime to maintain himself in his old age. This would be true of those without family responsibilities, while average wage earner with a family to support can save r ;1fething at all unless the standard of living of the family is reduced to Pt^neet advancing living costs., and then only a small sum which a brief sick- |!iiess will absorb. It is the families of the wage earners that populate the country. Wealthy families are not usually noted for large numbers of children. The wage earner's family must be supported before there can be any saving for the future, and when that is done there can be little or nothing left. Our large savings bank deposits as a rule belong to persons who are not in the wage-earning class. Some wage earners follow trades that are highly skilled and exceptionally well paid. It is possible for some of these to save a portion of their wages, but it should be noted that these are extraordinary wage earners, and even among these none of them may hope to escape the wage earning class by saving alone. A young man asked a prominent American statesman how to acquire riches, and the answer was: "Put yourself in a position to profit by 'the labor of other people/* The wage earner who escapes from the wage-earning class does this. His savings are used as the basis of speculation or investment, which, if successful, yields him a profit on the labor of other people. If the wage earner builds himself a home he is gratifying the home* owning instinct, but if he couples with it a tenement to rent he is developing the desire of the capitalist, to profit by the labor of other people. It is well, for the ordinary wage earner to be prudent and to save what he can, but not with the idea of escaping thereby from the wageearning class, lest his wings be pinged by the flame. The ordinary wage earner will do well to give more effort to improve the condition, of the wage-earning class through trade union work and less to an attempt to escape from the wage-earning class by an unsuccessful imitation of the methods of capital. All wage earners should seek the largest income from their own labor rather than to seek to profit by 4;he labor of their fellows.

SAFE THROUGH ICY FLOOD Indian Hero Swims to Shore With Boy Across the Columbia River at Its Highest. Real S o r r o w A l w a y s Seeks Solitude By D R . FRANK C R A N E One of the maxims that are not true is "Misery loves company." The fact is that it is happiness that loves company, while sorrow seeks solitude. We close the door to weep and draw the blinds; we go to the theater and crowded restaurants to laugh. Misfortune isolates. Pcnsiveness is unsociable. These lines are written on shipboard. We have been six days .at sea and all the passengers have become acquainted; for an ocean liner a few days out resembles a country village; everybody knows everybody and everybody's business. Convention rules the decks and gossip guat ds^^cozy corners as thoroughly as in a New England town. Only one man keeps apart. His wife is in a coffin in the hold. A month ago they went to Italy for a long lark; she died in Naples. This man speaks to no one. He keeps his room. He may be seen of nights looking over the rail into the boiling dark of the sea, alone. When an animal is wounded he flees the pack and in some cave or under some bush, solitary, he licks the bleeding paw or torn shoulder. So when the human heart breaks its cry is for solitude; it shuns light; fellowship is pain; lonesomeness becomes luxury. Joy is the centripetal, sorrow the centrifugal force of the world. Joy makes cities; disappointment makes emigration. sV#fti}-;,..'l The treasurer of a Massachusetts bank is reported to have died of infection from handling bank notes. Death was caused by complications following blood poisoning. This incident calls attention in a tragic manner to the necessity for improving the condition of the bank notes in general circulation. Some of the bills are so filthy that they are not fit to handle. The remedy for this condition is very simple. All that is necessary Is for the banks, trust companies and other financial institutions to retire the notes as they come in. These notes should be sent to Washington and there redeemed for new ones. I understand that in England a dirty bank note is never seen, as they are retired^as fast as they become soiled. All the bank notes there are crisp and clean. The same condition could prevail everywhere if the dirty bank notes were retired^ soon enough. M a n y Dangers F r o m Handlind Filthy L u c r e By C . B .

While it is true that many instances of good or bad fortune can only be ascribed to "luck"—such as the finding of a purse or the loss of an arm by accident—the term cannot be used in cases where some one has had financial circumstances or position changed by application, education, ability as well as other factors.

The old hermit, who waa in his ninetieth year, was well known to the tourists of the White mountains, thousands of whom have stopped at his picturesque old shanty, which he called his "ship." That "English Jack" became first a wandering soldier and then a'hermit because of a broken heart was known to most of his callers. Outside his cabin he had a series of glass-sided tanks in which he bred trout from spawn. ' If the financial inducement were sufficient he would give exhibitions of snake-swallowing for tbe benefit of summer visitors. London Hfs Birthplace. "English Jack'* was born in London. His father and mother died when he waa twelve. One pound comprised his wealth. Some sea stories he had read turned his efforts toward finding an opportunity to go to sea. At first he was unsuccessful. For days, barefooted, with his bundle of earthly goods strapped on his back, he canvassed the gruff official seamen hanging about the docks for the chance he dreamed would come. His query, "Do ybu want a boy, sir?" was always met with cruel replies, savored with sailor profanity, and many hard knocks for his trouble. One spring morning, tired, hungry and homesick, he sat down on a doorstep overlooking the docks and began to cry. A little girl five years old, with blue eyes, came up to him and offered her gracious sympathy, saying Bhe was lost, too, and was in, search of her daddy's ship. That little faoe, illuminated with the white light of an innocent and tender heart, was the weather vane of the boy's destiny. She confided to him as they further exchanged their troubles that her name was Mary, and when she began to cry she made Jack forget his hunger and privations.. Beginning of the Romance. He smoothed and petted her the best he knew, and she drove trouble many miles across the sea by surrendering her little dewy Hps to Jack— his first kiss.

At the *end of every voyagers always made his home with the Simmonses. $djf Simmons and Jack on one voyage sailed on a ship named the Nelson for the Indian ocean. A terrific simoom struck and wrecked it on the shores of a desert island. Jack and Simmons and eleven other members of the crew were all that were saved. A diet of snails, mussels and crabs resulted In poisoning many of them and^ they died off until only Jack and Simmons, with two others, were left. Simmons took fever and died, asking Jack to look out for his little Mary. Only 8urvivor of Crew. Jack, with his companions, one morning weeks later saw a ship riding at anchor in the lee of the island. Their signals of distress were sighted and they were taken aboard. Jack's companions died within a few days, leaving Jack as the sole survivor of the forty-two men who had sailed from London on the Nelson. Jack finally arrived in London, after having been gone for nineteen months, to find that. Simmons1 wife was dead and that little Mary had been sent to a workhouse. Jack managed to secure her release and sent her to boarding school. He was called away to sea again, and he went with the understanding that upon his return Mary should become his wife. After being gone for a little more than a year, he again landed in Liver pool and hastened to the boarding scho /here he had left Mary. "Miss Simmons died'just a month ago," said one of the teachers.

He came to thiB country* thirty-six years ago and drifted up to the White mountains, where he built his "ship" at Crawford Notch. He always lived the life of a recluse, but at the same time he never was inhospitable-to any of the many thousands who called trpon him. Few, however, knew more than that he had lived up there alone in the woods for almost four decades. The writer, during the summer of 1909, usually at twilight, had many interesting chats with him. He often recited with appalling emotion the whole of "Annabel Lee/' The poem had been torn from a: book of Poe's poems by a mountain missionary, and English Jack treasured the pastor's gift above all others.

Yet this was Just what was done about eight years ago by a Columbia River Indian who had almost reached the age of fifty. He is still living today on the Umatilla reservation to testify to the performance, though no man ever heard him boast of it. The Indian's name is Sees-YuBe and he is now the head man of the scattered Columbtas. It was in the early years of the new century that he attempted to make the passage of the Columbia in a frail canoe, accompanied by a boy of nine years. When in midstream his little craft was struck with such force by an ice cake that It was overturned. Sees-Yuse seized his boy companion, and placing hint on his back, breasted tfce stream and commenced bis battle to dain the shore. * If men who witnessed the feat are to be believed, no white man could have accomplished what this old Indian did. Foot by foot he made his way toward the southern bank, and though swept downstream by the swift current, his progress was steady. Several times he was struck by an ice floe and the jagged end of one cut a deep wound in his neck. Finally, after what seemed i n almost interminable time, he reached the e*iore with his burden, his strength sp^r t by his heroic efforts and loss of b*ood, and almost frozen by the chill w^ter. Before the flow of his wound could be checked he had almost bled to cl^ath. Not long after the incident ftees- Yuse was awarded some heirship lands on the Umatilla reservation and since that time has lived among the Umatillas, Cayuses and Walla Wallas, but through the death of the chieftains of his own tribe be> has come to be regarded by his people as their head man. The old Indian, whose facial characteristics are so different from those of the prairie Indians, is a frequent visitor in Pendleton, Ore., and almost regularly once a week calls upon Ms friend, Major Lee Moorhouse, not, however, so much for the purpose of talking with the major as to gaze at a full-length pointing of himself which adorns the walls of the Moorhouse office. The painting was made from a photograph of Sees-Yuse, taken by the major, and the aged red man often sits by the hour, chifclike, ad- ..miring the likeness on the wall. LOSING TOUCH WITH WORLD?

For forty-six years a controversy has been carried on concerning the capture of Jefferson Davis. The prize money offered by the United States government was divided among members of the 4th Michigan, the 1st Wisconsin and the 1st Ohio regiments. The story of the capture is presented^ here as told by George M . Munger,, who was a corporal of the 4th Ajfrchl-' gan at the time of the search for- Davis. His narrative corresponds to that sworn to before the secretary of war by his colonel, B. D. Prltcnard. "Several searching parties were looking for Jeff Davis when we started out early in May, 1865," said M r . Munger. "We were passing ourselves off as a detachment of confederate soldiers, trying to catch up with the fleeing president. The night of May S we found what we were after. We had reached Irwlnville, inquiring there, as at other places, for news of the fugitives. We got no information The Mother Had a Shawl Pinned Around Her Face. except from an old colored man, who told us that there was a traveling party encamped about two miles from town. I was in the advance guard* who got this information, and we reported it to the colonel. "We made an advance to a point from which we could see the camp fire, and there we lay. Lieut. Purington and twenty-five men were sent around to the other side of the camp. All was quiet until the morning be* gan to come. Then we made a sudden charge into the camp and took them by surprise. "My position in the line brought me into the camp at the rear of DavlB* tent. With me was Private James Bullard. Some horses were tethered there, and we took two of them in place of our own, changing the Baddies to the fresh horses. Mrs. Davis, I heard afterward, had come to the door of the tent and asked the right of privacy for the women that she said were the only occupants. Soon she came to the door again and passed out with her 'old mother,1 who was dressed In a waterproof coat and a shawl, and carried a tin pail. Mrs. Davis said that the ywanted to go to the brook for water, and the guard let them pass. "They were not many rods from the tent when I saw them. 1 said to* Bullard, 'Those women ought not to be leaving the camp/ and he, still busied with his saddle, told me to go on and not wait for him. I mounted and rode up to the couple. I asked where they were going and Mrs. Davis said that she was going to the brook with her old mother to get some water. The 'old mother* had the shawl pinned around her face so that not much was visible, and the waterproof coat was long. But the dead grass was long, too, and as the 'old mother1 held up the coat 1 saw high top hoots beneath i t "'What's your old mother doing with those boots on?' I asked, and brought my gun from half to full cock as i t lay across tbe pommel pointing at the two. "Mrs. DtfVis heard the click of thehammery 'Don't *hoot!

I found the colonel and told him that I believed we had taken Jeff'Davis. The colonel came up to where the prisoner was and asked, 'What shall I call you?" 'Anything you please/ said the prisoner. 'I think 1 will cajl you Davis," said Col. Pritchard. "The 4th Michigan and the 1st Wisconsin took Davis back to our lines and I was one of the guard that went with him to Fort Monroe. Col.

It also contained the surprising news that Harry Lldderdale had unexpectedly returned to New York, and would be present The latter was an old chum of mine who had one day^suddenly left the counfry. From the day of his departure he had not written a line to anyone; not a soul knew where he had gone, and to all intents and purposes the man might as well have been dead. There was, however, a story which in some measure accounted for Lidderdale's disappearance. In the days of his early manhood he had fallen desperately in love with a singularly beautiful girl named Alma Ramsay. The latter had loved him in return, but there were no tidings of an absolute engagement, and suddenly I heard that Alma had married a certain General Colthurst, (and that Lldderdale had left the country. Colthurst turned out a cruel husband, mean suspicious and jealous, but fortunately for his young wife, he did not .survive the union more than a few years. Now Mrs. Colthurst was a wealthy widow, and Lldderdale had come home. I arrived in due time at Holdsworth's residence, but failed to see Lldderdale among the guests present. My host approached. "I am sorry to say that Lldderdale will not be here, Halifax,!' he aaid. "Early this morning I saw his card lying on my hall table with the address of the Hotel Metropole scribbled in one corner.. There was also some writing on the back saying that he would call later in the day. I was unable to stay in, but left a note inviting him co dine here this evening, and telling him that Alma Colthurst was to be one of the guests. When I returned home, 1 found that he had not come back, and a few moments later I received a telegram stating that he would call tomorrow, as he had been prevented from doing so today. And now I suppose you will like to see your old friend, Mrs. Colthurst— she is present." "Does she know of Lidderdale's re* turn?" I asked, curiously. "Yes, I told her. She was much agitated; you know how attached she was- to him in the past. Well, she is wealthy and free now, and I hope they will make a match of it. Alma was greatly disappointed when I told her Lldderdale would not be> here after all. 1 have arranged that you are to take her down to dinner." A few moments later I found myself seated beside Mrs.- Colthurst, whom I had not met since her widowhood. I noticed as I glanced at her, that her beautiful face was thin to emaciation, and she seemed to be laboring under a severe nervous strain. I mentioned Lidderdale's return home, and her cheeks flushed as she spoke of his long absence and her desire to see him again. I was about to say something^ more, when a lady who was seated across from us bent forward and said: "Mrs. Colthurst, I have great news for you. Mrs. Holdsworth had induced Haridas, the famous chiromancist, to come here after dinner—-we can all have our fortunes told!" "Haridas 1" cried Mrs. Colthurst. "Is it possible? I have longed to go to him, but have been afraid." "Do you really believe in chiromancy 7" I. asked. "EmphaticaUy," was the reply. "I Intend to submit my palm for Haridas' inspection, and whatever he tells me I shall believe." Soon afterward. In response to a summons from our host we proceeded to the drawing room, which was already crowded. Presently a Brahmin, attired in a rich Oriental costume, entered. He was accompanied by a handsome young woman of his own atlonality. Mrs. Holdsworth conducted the pair to a little platform arranged to receive them, and then introduced them to her guests. "The name of Haridas," she said, "is of course well known. . He does not speak English, so his assistant, Mungela, will act as his interpreter." Several of the guests took advantage of the fortune teller's arrival, and declared themselves astounded by the knowledge he possessed of their past lives. His prophesies of the future also gave much satisfaction, and presently Mrs. Colthurst touched my arm. « "It is my turn now," she said, and went up to the platform. I saw Haridas take her hand and examine the palm closely. He glanced at his assistant, and it seemed to me t^at there was consternation i n his bronze features. He talked rapidly i n his music* al Hindustani, and Mungela trans* lated the meaning of his words to Mrs. Colthurst When the young widow returned to my side, her face was ashy gray and she spoke i n nervous accents: "He told me all my past, and accurately* too," she said. "But he won't say a word about my future? I believe he knows something terrible. Go, Dr. Halifax, and ask him for the truth; he w i l l tell you, I ~ I walked over to T h e l a d y whose (Copyright, by W. G. Chapman.) just read is rather alarmed," I said. He spoke of her past but said nothing regarding her future. Perhaps he will tell me in confidence what he thought well to hide from her." Mungela shook her head sadly. "Haridas cannot tell her future," she replied. "Everything is finished—it is all done." In spite of my disbelief in the whole business, I felt unaccountably disturbed by this remark. However, I returned to Mrs. Colthurst laughing. "I have found out nothing," I s a i d lightly. "Evidently there is a limit to the magician's powers; he cannot foretell your future." "You mean he will not" she responded somberly. "I wish I centdv^nake him speak. Her face looked haggard and worn. Soon afterward she bade her hostess good night, Bhook hands with me, and left the room. I had just risen on the following morning, when to my surprise my servant ushered in Charles Holdsworth. "Halifax," he cried excitedly, "Alma Colthurst is dead, murdered. She was found in her drawing room early this morning, stabbed to the heart The police suspect Lldderdale." "Good heavens," 1 exclaimed, "there must be a mistake. Lldderdale is incapable of such a crime." "Well, the servant's story is as follows," said Holdworth. "Alma returned home between 11 and 12 last night. She found a card from Lldderdale lying on the hand table, with a line in pencil that he would call to see her about, midnight. She told the servant that he was to be admitted, and went up to her drawing room to wait for him. He arrived and was shown upstairs. About halfpast twelve Lldderdale left the house. At Alma's request her maid had already gone to bed. When Lldderdale went away, the butler extinguished the lights in the rest of the house, but did not return to the drawing room, as Alma never liked to be disturbed, and as a rule put out the lights there her* self. On entering the room early this morning, he found his mistress stretched on the floor, quite dead. A doctor was summoned, and declared that she was stabbed through the heart, and had been dead for many hours." "How terrible," I .cried. "Holdsworth, I almost begin to believe in chiromancy. Haridas would not tell her future last night and said she had none. Yet I cannot believe Lidderdale guilty." "But think of the circumstantial evidence. He will,! of course, be arrested on suspicion. Let us go to the Metropole, and find out what has happened." On our arrival at the hotel, the manager informed us that no gentleman of that name was staying there. "The police have already been inquiring for him," he said, pointedly. "But here is his visiting card," expostulated Holdsworth. "He left it al my house yesterday, with the name of your hotel scribbled in the corner. "Probably the name of the hotel was used as a blind," remarked the manager. This did not satisfy me. I knew that I would recognize Lidderdale if I should see him, and when Holdsworth left I remained behind in the entrance hall, watching the guests as they passed in and out. But no one In the least degree resembling the man I sought put in an appearance, and soon after noon I went away. The case looked black again the missing man. The writing in the corner of the visiting card left at Boldsworth's house was easily identified with some of Lidderdale's letters which I possessed; a similar card had been found at Mrs. Colthurst's, with writing also in Lidderdale's hand. On the night of the 21st a man answering to his description had called on Mrs. Colthurst, and in the morning she was found stabbed to the heart. A week passed, and still the police had obtained no trace of the supposed murderer. But returning home one evening, I was almost stunned when my servant informed me that Lidderdale was waiting to see me in my laboratory. I rushed to the room, and Harry Lidderdale, looking much the same as when I last saw him, came forward to meet me. , "How are you, Halifax?" he said, cheerily. "I have not been two hours in New York, and naturally you are the first person I wanted to see. Why, what is the matter?" he queried, observing the horrified expression on my face. "You have not been here two hours," I repeated. "Impossible. Don't you know what has happened? I am amazed at seeing you. I thought—you will forgive me, but I must speak plainly—! fancied you were hiding from the police." "J hiding from the police!" he ex me, on the score of my poverty, I was convinced, I resolved to leave the country, cut all my connections, and make for South Africa. There I was Joined by a man named Colville. He and 1 had been chums at college; he also knew Alma, and the first thing which drew us together was the mention ot her name. He had a little money, and we agreed to purchase a share in a diamond mine. We did, in fact I soon became rich. Colvllle took fever and very nearly died. I nursed him, and on his supposed deathbed he made a confession. He also loved Alma, and in order to win her had gone to see her and told her lies about me— that I was secretly engaged to another girl, and more^-aud the poor girl believed him. He had no knowledge at the time that pressure was being brought to bear ujpon her to wed General Colthurst. When he discovered that his nefarious scheme had failed, and that he could not win her, he resolved to join me in Africa, His object, he said, was to watch me in order to prevent my having the least communication with Alma, feeling sure that if he bided his time he would win her yet,-as she -seemed certain to survive old Colthurst, who was in very poor health. He expressed penitence for what he had done, but to my,great surprise, and his own, recovered. When he was well again I told him we must dissolve partnership. We did so, and he left me, telling me that he intended to travel through Matabeland, and cross the Zambesi into the Congo Free State. I have not heard from him for several months. By accident I received information of Colthurst's death and resolved to return home. But as my health was much impaired, I acted on a physician's advice and took a long sea voyage. I went from Africa to Marseilles in a trading steamer. From there I took passage in a small brig called the S t Cyr for New Orleans. This sailing ship was not supposed to carry passengers, out I made friends with tbe captain and he was not averse to making a few dollars for his own pocket by taking me along. Strangely «•1I have made up my mind how to act," he said. "Now that Alma is dead I am rather Indifferent as to what becomes of me. In any case, I cannot live under a cloud. Halifax, you must accompany me to police headquarters and I will tell them all." could not but admit that this/was the proper course, and we went to the Central office. A n interview with the chief followed, and that official informed Lidderdale that it was his duty to place him under arrest. My friend went off to await his examination before the magistrate. The longer I thought over the case the more I became convinced that Lidderdale was right in his conjecture and that Colvllle must be the guilty person. I resolved to visit Mrs. Colthurst's house. knowledge of eastern diseases. Dr. Materick and I were close friends, and had done some good work together. I gave him a brief outline of my story and showed him the stain on the microscopical slide. He looked at it carefully, and corroborated the discovery I had made. "There is nojt the least doubt," he said, "t^at only, a person coming from the west coast of Africa could contract this parasite, atf it is found nowhere .else in the world.'" "Then, of course," I cried, "this is of great importance to Lidderdale, who has never, to my knowledge, been in West Africa." "Your friend has come, you tell me, straight from South Africa. Well, we can sbon discover if he has the tilaria I had been there frequently during the j perstans in his own blood; if not, the past week and the servants knew rae natural conclusion is that he could not well. I saw the butler, Carson, who kaV e been the murderer. But before had chanced to be the first to discover \ forget, I have a somewhat remarkathe corpse of his murdered mistress, and got him to take me to the fatal room. It had been left undisturbed since the Inquest Carson went to draw up one of th,e blinds. As he did so, I saw a dark stain of blood on the carpet where the unfortunate girl had fallen after she had received her death wound. In one corner of the room, put away on a table, I perceived a couple of decanters; they were both half full, and contained either wine or cognac. * "What are those bottles doing there?" I asked. 'They contain the brandy and sherry which were taken into the room the night of the murder," he answered. "When Mrs. Colthurst saw Mr. Lidderdale's card on her return home she desired me to bring refreshments to the drawing room, and I put the brandy and sherry and biscuits here." I lifted one of the decanters—it contained cognac. As I was putting it back I noticed, lying by its side, a broken wine glass. Nearly half of the upper portion of the glass had been smashed, but enough remained to allow a dark stain to show plainly i n Litterdale, Alma i* dead, murdered,— dnd# God telpud, you.arefcfcccuaed. of the, deed!" Halifax. Is this a joke?' "Not at all," I replied confusedly. "But Why did you leave New York as you did, and cut us all, and then come back--?" enough, the poor old St. Cyr caught fire on,.the day after her arrival in New Orleans, some explosive stuff in the cargo blew her to atoms and the captain and his officers were all killed. I arrived here from the Crescent city this morning." "There is some frightful plot behind all this," I said. "Lidderdale, Alma is dead, murdered—and God help us, you are accused of the deed!" He sank back in his chair and gazed at me with staring eyes and pallid face. I gave him a rapid account of what had taken place, and assured him that I, for one, believed him guiltless of the crime. " A l l the same," he said, "I can see, Halifax, that I am I n an awful net. The fact is—I cannot help it—I suspect Colville. You have never seen the man, but he is as like me as a twin brother." "But what motive could he have had in committing such a terrible crime?" I asked. "Jealousy," replied Lldderdale, without hesitation. "Alma would never have anything to do with him. I suppose he used my name to get an interview with her. But I seem to have made a mess of things all around. It is going to be hard for me to prove my tale. Since I left New York I have always gone under another name. I didn't want my friends to write to me, and when I arrived in Africa I took the name of John Ross. My shares in the mine are in that name. I have a large sum of money in the hank, but can only draw it in the name of Ross. In short, fool that I am, I have surrounded myself with complications." "At a l l events," I said, "you can prove that you sailed on a certain date in a certain vessel from Africa to Mar* sellles; you were entered i n the ship's books as John Ross; the captain and crew and passengers would know you again." "They might, if they could be found, bib thing to tell you. There is a patient In my hospital at the present moment suffering from a disease called the sleeping sickness, which is caused by filaria perstans, and can only be contracted in West Africa, although this particular symptom may not show itself until years after the person" has been there. Would you like to see the case ?" "I certainly should," I replied. "Well, I will call for you this afternoon and drive you to my hospital." At four o'clock that day I found myself standing by^'the bedside of the patient. \ "He will not recover," said Materick in a low voice. "The symptoms are of an aggravated description. As a rule, the disease lasts^ from three months to as many years, and is characterized by slowly increasing somnambulism and lethargy. These symptoms* gradually increase until the patient is almost continually asleep." While Materick was speaking I was watching the patient He was a slender, dark man; his face was bathed in perspiration, his black hair was pushed back from his forehead. Where had I seen those features before, that somewhat peculiar length of jaw, the shape of the low forehead? "Look here, Materick!" I cried with excitement; "I believe that Providence brought me to this bedside. The man lying there has a look of Lidderdale. The more I watch him the more my suspicion strengthens. The life of my friend hangs in the balance. I should like to hear the circumstances under which this patient came to the hospital, and also, with your permission, to watch the case." "Both your wishes can be gratified," returned Materick "Come, with me to the lady superintendent.'' We left tne ward and interviewed the superintendent. She informed us that, the patient with the sleeping sickness had been found in the street a week ago t,o ali appearance in a state ot intoxication, and boon taken into ihe police station; but finding that he was seriously ill tho police brought him to the hospital. Jle had scarcely opened his lips since. When taken up he was tto io evening drc?rfs. No one knew his name; he spent his entire time sleeping, although for the pa't. tew days ne had been suffering from tremor and spasms. He had arrived at the hospital on the morning of the 22d<of June. 1 looked at Materick. "The raurdor took place on the night ot the 21st," i eaid. Having agreed to my request to stay behind, Materick took his departure. Presently I found myself practically aione with the patient. The case was a bad one and liable to terminate fatally within a few hours at the latest. At my desire one of the nurses brought a Screen to put round the sick man's Finally he opened ms eyes and glared at me. I bent over him. "Colville," I said, "do you know that Lidderdale has returned. He has been arrested for Mrs. Colthurst's murder. You alone can explain that crime. Do not go to your Maker with that sin unconfessed on your soul." "Why do you call me Colville?" he gasped. "You cannot deny your name, and that you are guilty of murder." "Don't speak so loud; I am too ill to talk to you^" he. whispered. He turned over, trembled violently and the next moment was convulsed by a spasm. The nurse came to his assistance. When the fit passed he sank into a "I killed, her in a fit of frenzyAsfce, said. "She refused to have anything' to do with me. Yes, I borrowed your; name. Months ago. I meant to do something of the kind, and I also managed, while with you i n Africa, to secrete some of your visiting cards. I had made 'careful copies of ^our handwriting and knew I could imitate it sufficiently to deceive anyone who was not an expert. I knew Alma would see me if she thought I was you. She did so; but wjjen she discovered Aha' trick her rage and scorn were greater than 1 can describe. Then I resolved that you, at least, should not have tha* prize which 1 could not obtain. I had a large claspknil'e in my pocket; I opened it and stabbed her to the heart. The instant I did the deed I repented. I ran to a decanter which contained brandy and poured out a glass —I was i l l at the time—I had been queer lor weeks. One of those awful tremors assailed me—the glass fell from my trembling hands and I cut myself. I filled up another and drained off the contents. The stimulant gave me strength and nerve to leave the house as quietly as if nothing had happened." His voice faltered, but making a terrific effort he sat up in bed. The detectives pushed aside-the screen and one of them handed a paper to Lidderdale. "Get him to sign this," he said. "Put your name here, Colville," said' Lidderdale. A choking laugh was the response. "The law cannot reach -me now," he croaked, "so I don't mind signing." Ho scribbled his name feebly at the bottom of the paper. [ "She is lost to us both now, Lidderdale," he continued; "that is my only comfort." This was his final remark. He sank back on his pillow in another fit, in which he died. Of course Colville's confession cleared Lidderdale, and the latter left for abroad almost immediately. "I have nothing to live for now," was his parting remark to me on the day I saw him off. But he Is young, and Time, the great healer, may yet cause him to think differently. T H E D O G A S M A N ' S B E S T F R I E N D A writer Mail, who deeper sleep than ever.

And the destruction of the S t Cyr has removed the other witnesses to my identity." I persuaded Lidderdale to stay for my house, and in the momme with a brave face. the bottom. I examined It closely and came to the conclusion that it wasjaj/bed. He lay muttering to himself, blood-stain. Now, from the appearance of the broken glass I did not think for a moment that the dark stain was caused by the victim. In all probability the man who had wielded the knife had ruahea, after the horrible deed was done, to steady his nerves with a drink of brandy. In his agitation he had doubtless broken the top of the glass, and perhaps cut himself in so doing; the blood had poured down inside, and now lay clotted in the bottom of the glass; I suddenly remembered that I had some microscopical slides and a cover "lass in my pocket. I took out the case, slipped a slide away from its fellows and, taking a smear from the clot hi the bottom of the glass, put it on the slide. As soon as It bad dried 1 put the slide back into the cover glass and left the house. I went straight to my laboratory and submitted the slide to the tests necessary for the thorough examination of the smear of blood. I had no sooner done so than an exclamation of astonishment escaped me. This blood contained a quantity of the remarkable parasite, filaria perstans. As this parasite has never been contracted anywhere except on the west coast of Africa this fact proved conclusively that the blood was not that of Mrs. Colthurst It must therefore follow, as a natural consequence, that it could only come from a person who had been i n West Africa. As I eagerly studied the dark smear I remembered a remark Lidderdale had made. He told me that when Colville and he parted company Colville had started to travel through Matabeland, across the Zambesi, Into the Congo Free State. It was therefore quite plausible that, on his way down the Congo, while living among tbe natives, Colvllle might have contracted, unknown to himself of course, the parasite filaria perstans. I had studied eastern diseases with care, and was well acquainted with the peculiar nature of this strange parasite. Was it possible that I now held in my hand the means of clearing my friend? ^ After a few moments of careful reflection I went to^the house of a specialist who was Celebrated for his in the New York Evening 1B evidently no enthusiast over polar exploration,9does justice to some of the forgotten heroes of it in a rather surprising fashion. "By the power of the dog's thews that, have drawn us," he says, "by the glow of nis heart that warmed us, by tho strength ol his faithful fleah that has fed us, we have attained these useless poles. It (hey were goo 1 for anything, liiey would by right belong to the dog; but he has no more use for the in than we have. This, however, as his reward, we have a right ask—tifat we should give- up polar exploration forever." Not the leas! tragic page in the loi.g story of the polar quest, is that, which tells of the agony of the dogs whose endurance and capacity lor suffering alone made it possible. It is rare to find any explorer who utters a word ol pity, or feels any remorse when he orders them to be slain for food. Yet, as the writer quoted above somewhat bitterly remarks, tbe dogs have been the real conquerors of the polar regions. In like manner, it may be fairly claimed that many of the surgical operations that daily save so many human lives would have been impossible without the highly organized and pitifully intelligent creature which lent itself so admirably to the purposes of the vJvisectlonist. Most of the progress in modern surgery has been brought about by the incessant torture of the only animal in the whole stretch of creation- that has ever had the courage to love man and insist upon being his friend. To those who have "given their hearts to a dog to tear," the cost of such discoveries will always bring infinite disquiet. They yield to none in admiration of the great explorer or the great surgeon, but to them those unregarded helpers who buy success w^th their poor lives and have none of the glory of It are shadows that almost hide made up in an instant There should be witnesses when next he woke. His death was but a matter of an hour or two, and if possible he should be made to speak before he passed away. I left the hospital and went straight to police headquarters. After an interview with the chief I returned to the hospital accompanied by Lidderdale and two detectives. We sought Colville's bed and Lidderdale stepped inside the screen, while I remained on the other side with the two policemen. I heard Lidderdale utter a startled exclamation, and knew he had found his man. "Rouse yourself; I am here," he said ill a hoarse voice. The patient started and muttered in his sleep. "Open your eyes," continued Lidderdale. "Do you remember when you were i l l last—do you remember what you confessed? Awake, Colville, awake!" The well-known tones burst through the terrible lethargy which was carry* ing the man to his grave—he opened his eyes. The detectives and I moved a little nearer, and one of them pro* duced a note book, prepared to take down any confession which might be made. "Am I uying?" asked the sick man. "You are," responded Lidderdale gravely^ "Tell the truth. Why did you take Alma's^ life ?" Colville's eyes, so like those of the man who etood beside him; glittered strangely. There are good dogs and bad dogs; hut the majority of dogs are good, and the man who has a faithful dog for a friend can afford to laugh at the worst tricks of fate. The gentlest mistress, the tenderest mother, tbe dearest child, will never love him as a dog loves him with an absolute, uncritical, unquestioning affection. No matter though humanity has cast him out and he slinks through swamps and thickets, with a price on his head, the love of the dog holds fast, survives starvation and ill-usage and impels blm to die for his master, if need be, without a thought that it is possible to do anything else. The dog's faith in the man is perfect It is not to be moved by any evil received i n return from his merging of his life in another which he dimly comprehends.

' "I believe he is," said Betty w^th a ,4*ur:t little air. 4 "May I ride with you?" he gave her W swift glance.

"Will you let me renews Our acquaintance at Belle Plain? I shall be in west Tennessee jbefore the summer is over; probably 2 shall leave here within a week," he *ald, bending toward her.

You are Tom's friend." aiurrell bit his lip, and then laughed as his mind conjured up a picture of the cherished Tom. Suddenly he reached out and rested his hand on liers. "Betty—if I might think—" he began, but his tongue stumbled. His love-making V a s usually of a savage cort, but some quality in the girl held him in. check. Betty drew away from him, an angry color on her cheeks And an angry, light in her eyes. "For- ^ive me, Bet^y!" murmured Murrell, but b*s heart beat against his ribs, «nd passion sent its surges through fcim, ^pon't you know what I'm trying to tell you?" he whispered.

Bruce's first memories had to do with long nights when he perched beside his father on the cabin roof of their keel-boat and watched the stars or the blurred line of the shore where it lay against the sky, or the lights on other barges and rafts drifting as they were drifting, with their wheat and corn and whisky, to that common market at the river's mouth. Bruce Carrington had seen the day of barge and raft reach its zenith, had heard the first steam packet's shrieking whistle, which sounded the death-knell of the ancient order, though the shifting of the trade was a slow matter and the glory of the old did not pass over to the new at once, but lingered still in mighty Meets of rafts and keel-boats and in the Homeric carousals of some ten thousand of the half-horse, half-alligator breed that nightly gathered in New Orleans. . After the reading of the warrant that morning, Charley Balaam had shown Carrington the road to the Forks, assuring him when they separated that with a little care and decent use of his eyes it would be possible to fetch up there and not pass plumb through the settlement without knowing where he was, y ^TTe^aT'onTiis way4 To Fayctteville, where he intended to spend the night, and perhaps a day or two in rooking around', when the meeting with Betty and Murrell occurred. The girl's face remained with htm. It was a face he would like to see again. He was still thinking qjf the girl when he ate his supper that night at Cleggetfs Tavern. Later, in the bar, he engaged his host in idle gossip. He had met a gentleman and a lady on the road that day! he wondered, as he toyed with his glass, if it could have been the Ferrises? Mounted? Yea, mounted. Then it was Ferris and his wife—or it might have been Captain Murrell and Misa Malroy. Miss Malroy did not live in-that part of ihe counter; she was a friefnd ot Mrs. Ferris', belonged in Kentucky or Tennessee,, or, somewhere out yonder —at any rate she was bringing her visit to an end, for Ferris had instructed him to reserve a place for her in the north-bound stage on the morrow. Carrington suddenly remembered thaf he bad thought of starting north .in t£e morning JMm9eU\ t (i i The stage left at six, and as Car- ^•Ulgton climbed to his seat the next fiiotmlnf Mr. Cleggeti* was advising ' iitik driver tb took 4 sharp *hen ho came to- tho' fta*rony road? as he was to pick up a, party there. U--wa» u a * rtngtonwh* l o i k W .s^arp,, and rftenoat; at the spot where he had seen Miss Malroy the day before he saw her again, with Ferris and* Judith and a pile of luggage bestowed by the wayside. Betty did not observe him as the coach stopped, for she was intent on her farewells with her friends. There were hasty words of advice from Ferris, prolonged good-byg to Judith, tears—kisses—while a place was being made for her many boxes and trunks. Carrington gathered that she was going north to Washington; that her final destination was some point either on the Ohio or Mississippi, and that her name was Betty. Then the door slammed and the stage wAs in motion again. All through the morning they swung forward in the heat and dust and glare, and at midday rattled into the shaded main street of a sleepy village and drew up before the tavern where dinner was waiting them. Betty saw Carrington when she took her seat, and gave a scarcely perceptible start of surprise. Then her face was flooded with a rich color, This was the man who saw E'er with Captain Murrell yesterday! There was a brief moment of irresolution and then she bowed coldly. It. was four days to Richmond. Four days of hot, dusty travel, four nights of uncomfortable cross-road stations, where Betty suffered sleepless nights and the unaccustomed pangs of early rising. She occasionally found herself wondering who Carrington was. She approved of the manner in which he conducted himself. She liked a man who could be unobtrusive. The next morning he found himself seated opposite her at breakfast. He received another curt little nod, cool and distant, as he took his seat. "You stop in Washington?" said Carrington. Betty shook her head. "No, i am going on to Wheeling." "You're fortunate in being so nearly home," he observed. "I'm going on to Memphis." Betty exclaimed: "Why, I am going to Memphis, too!" "Are you? By canal to Cumber land, and then by stage over the Na tional Road to Wheeling?" Betty nodded. "It makes one wish* they'd finish their railroads, doesn't it? Da you suppose they'll ever get as far west as Memphis?" she said. "They say it's going to be bad for the river trade when they're built on something besides paper," answered Carrington. "And I happen to be a flatboatman, Miss Malroy." No more was said just then, for Betty became reserved and did not attempt to resume the conversation. A day later they rumbled into Washington, and as Betty descended from the coach Carrington stepped to her side. "t suppose you'll stop here, Miss Malroy," he said, indicating the tav* ern before which tbe stage had come to a stand. "Yes," said Betty briefly. "If lean be of any service to you—" he began, with Just a touch of awkwardness in his manner. "No, I thank you. Mr. Carrington," said Betty quickly. "Good night . . good-by." He turned away, and Betty saw his tali form disappear in the twilight. * • » * • * • • A month and more had elapsed since Bob Yancy'a, trial. Just two days later min^rid boy disappeared from Scratch MUL Murrell was soon on their trail and pressing forward in hot pursuit. Reaching the mountains, he heard of them first as ten days ahead of him and bound for west Tennessee; the ten days dwindled to a week, the week became five days, the five days three; and now as he emerged from the last range ot hills he caught sight of them. Yancy glanced back at the blue wall of the mountains where it lay along the horizon. "Well, Nevvy," he said, "we've put a heap of distance between us and old Scratch Hill." For the past ten days their journey had been conducted in a leisurely fashion. As Yancy said, they were seeing the world, and it was well to take a good look at it while they had a chance. Suddenly, out of the silence came the regular beat of hoofs. . These grew nearer and nearer, and at last when they were quite close, Yancy faced about. Smilingly Murrell reined in his horse. "Why—Boh Yancy!" he cried in apparent astonishment. "Yes, sir—Bob Yancty. Does it happen you are looking W hinjL, Captain?" inquired Yancy. "No—no, Bob. I'm on my way west." Murrell slipped-from his-saddle and fei} into step at Yancy's sid*» as they moved forward. "They were mightily stirred up at the Cross Roads when I left, wondering what had come of you," he observed. "That's kind of them," responded Yancy, a little dryly. Thure was no reason for it, but he was becoming distrustful of Murrell, ami uneasy. They went forward in silence. A sudden turn in the road brought them to the edge of an extensive clearing. Close to the road there were several buildings, but, not a tree had been spared to shelter them and they stood forth starkly, the completing touch to a civilization that was still in Its youth, unkempt, rather savage, and ruthlessly utilitarian. A sign announced the dingy structure of logs nearest the roadside a tavern. From the door of the tavern the figure of a man emerged. He was black-haired and bull-necked, and there was about him a certain shagglness which a recent toilet performed at the horse trough had not served to mitigate. "Howdy?" he drawled. "Howdy?" responded Mr. Yancy. "Shall you stop here?" asked Murrell, sinking his voice. Yancy nodded. "Can you put us up?" inquired Mur-, reli, turning to the tavern-keeper, "I reckon that's what I'm here for," said Slosson. Murrell glanced about the empty yard. "Slack," observed Slosson languidly. "Yes, sir, slack's the bniy name for It." It was understood he referred to the state of trade. He looked from one to the other of the two men. As -fcis eyes rested on Murrell, that gentleman raised the first three fingers of his right hand. The gesture was ever so little, yet it seemed to have a tonic effect on Mr. Slosson. What might have developed into a smile had he not immediately suppressed it, twisted his bearded lips as he made an answering movement. "Eph, come here, you!" Slosson raised his voice. This call brought a half-grown black boy from about a corner of the tavern, to whom Murrell relinquished hi* horse. "Let's liquor," said the captain over his shoulder, moving off in the direction of the bar. "Come on, Nevvy!" said Yancy following, and they all entered the tavern. "Weil^ahere's to the best of good luck!" saioVMurrell, as he raised his glass to hie lips. "Same here," responded Yancy. Murrell pulled out a roll of bills, one of which he tossed on the bar. Then after a moment's hesitation he detached a second bill from the roll and turned to Hannibal. "Here, youngster—• present for you," he said good-naturedly. Hannibal, embarrassed by the unexpected gift, edged to his tftole Bob's side. "Thank you, sir," said the boy. "Let's have another drink." sug. gested Murrell. Presently Hannibal stole out into the yard. He still held the bill in hla hand, for he did not quite know how to dispose of his great wealth. After debating this matter for a moment he knotted it carefully in one corner of his handkerchief. (TO B E dONTINTTED.,) Let Them Go On Training.

" § i;;. $ # ¢: iw ' - Put into a mixing bowl one cup sugir and one and one-half cups sifted flour, into which has been sifted one rounded" teaspoon* of baking powder. Then into a measuring cup put the whites of two eggs and fill to half full with melted butter and then *1U to full with sweet milk, the three In* gredients making a full cup; add a lit* tie flavoring. Now put all into the1 oowl and beat five minutes. You can jiake another cake the same way with yolks but scant the butter, using more milk with whites. Boiled Frosting.—One cup sugar, Dne-half cup water, whites two eggs, one teaspoon vanilla or one-half tablespoon lemon juice. Put sugar and water in saucepan and stir to prevent sugar from adhering to saucepan. Heat gradually to boiling point, and boil without stirring until sirup will thread when dropped from tines of a silver fork. Pour sirup gradually on beaten white of eggs beating mixture constantly, and continue beating until of right consistency to spread; then add flavoring and pour over cakes, spreading evenly with back of spoon. Crease as soon as firm. If not beaten long enough, frosting will run. If beaten too long may be improved by adding a few drops of lemon juico or boiling water. This frosting is soft inside, and has a glossy surface. PRICE DEPENDS ON THE CUT Knowledge That Will Help Housewife Get the Most Out of the Meat. The price of meat depends on the cut; fore quarter is cheaper than hind quarter on the average. The most desirable cuts are porterhouse and sirloin steaks and loin roast. The flesji of ihese cuts is tender and of fine flavor. The rump furnishes a good roast; the brisket is good for roasting if baking is carefully done; if pot roasted it is not a cheap cut if the per cent, of waste is considered. Round is probably the cheapest cut if one considers actual food value; it is used for pot roasts, braised beef and hamburger steak. If chopped and properly broiled it makes a very desirable substitute for the high priced'steaks. GONE ARE DAYS OF CHIVALRY Imagine This Situation in the Time* When Knights Died for the "Love .of a Ladyel" Miss Italia Garibaldi, granddaughter of the famous "liberator," complained in Chicago about the way Italian women are treated there. "When I see," she said, "the male employer, with all his vaunted, chivalry to women, taking such an unfair advantage of his female employes, I don't wonder that woman Is beginning to sneer at man's chivalry. "It reminds me of an Italian washerwoman, very industrious and successful, to whom a young man offered himself in matrimony. " 'You love me?' the washerwoman asked. . " 'Devotedly,' the young man replied. Are you sure?' I swear it!' £ She gave him a searching look. Are you out of work?' she said.M C O M P L E T E ACCOUNTING.

Ivory handles that have become blackened may be cleaned by rubbing them with lemon dipped in salt. A few drops of paraffin added to the shoe blacking will impart a good polish to damp shoes and also help to preserve the leather, To give a pleasant flavor to mayonnaise use vinegar that has been previously used over pickles, beets or cucumbers instead of fresh vinegar. Scratches on furniture will disappear if rubbed well with a solution of equal parts of linseed oil and turpentine. Rub this well into the scratches, and then polish with a soft cloth. To improve oilcloth, dissolve a pound of glue in a quart of water over the fire, then rub it lightly over the oilcloth with a piece of flannel and leave it to dry. If possible, do this in the evening, so that the oilcloth may not be walked on till the morning. This treatment adds Jo-the durability of the oilcloth, besides improving its appearance. Odd pieces of fruit, such as one banana, an apple or an orange, are mixed with lemon gelatin to advantage. Tough steak should be chopped and mixed.with diced potatoes and then baked. Grated cheese over this dish improves the flavor. A saucer of baked beans can be headed with catsup in a pan, and a spoonful on toasted crackers serve nicely for the noonday luncheon. Old bread just now takes a new form in bread-crumb cakes. Soak the bread in buttermilk and use flour to thicken the batter. Be careful never to use too much butter in cake.

Zeke Knew Rufe. Rufe was telling Zeke about a terrible escapade he had had the night before after he had crossed the danH at the river and was making for his cabin about a half mile through the dark woods. "And jest as I stepped inter de brush I hears a funny noise like a shoat enortin'. I looks up an' a blue light jumps out er de groun' and shapes itself into a ghost about Bix foot tall. Red fire was a-fllckerin* out er its nose. I stood still kinder, ^hen lifted a long, bony finger an' says: *I want you, Rufe Jackson.' "I walks up to it and shakes my own finger right in its face 'You mind yore business and I'll mind mine,' I says, and turns on my heel and goes right-on. "Now, what'd you er done, Zeke, in a case like dat?" "I'd er done jest what you done, you durned lying nigger." , On one of the expensive little hats for children seen the other day a wreath of daisies was used with great effect. It was a model sent out by a noted milliner in Paris, yet any needlewoman could reproduce i t The whole story hinges around the making of the daisies. Do you remember the old-fashioned rick-rack braid used on our baby dresses? In those days our mothers were busy in sewing together this serpentine braid in straight bands, in more intricate flower designs, or in motifs that were inset on yokes and sleeves. Rick-rack trimming has been revived. It is so easy and so very effective that it comes back with a double appeal. The braid is serpentine and generally white in color. It can be sewed at the points and very easily twisted in a flower that, when a yellow center of braid or linen is added, resembles a daisy with pleasing fidelity. Some daisies can be made in double rows; some In triple rows. The daisy form then changes to a dahlia; but whatever the flower may be, it is attractive. When one daisy is made, you will repeat the process, which is very easy, and add the daisies in a straight line or in an irregular wreath, one followed by two or three in a group. A' huge cabochon of these braid daisies placed at the side of a v/hite lingerie hat or a fine straw shape will look new and will remind one of the popular field flowers that have been accorded so much^avor this spring. From the millinery idea the xlever woman can depart iinto other fields of dress. On dainty little flower1 frocks of figured batiste, mull or muslin, little clusters of rick-rack daisies can be placed at the girdle, on the ends of sashes or in garlands that hold up the drapery at the side of a skirt. A high waist line can be outlined with these pretty little flowers, As *the rick-rack braid is procurable ' in ^seyeral widths, daisies can be made in several sizes, and a delightful variety can be given by grouping little and big flowers. Rick-rack can be bought at the art needlework department or at the notion counter of any large store. There promises to be much work in this new flower idea.

A farmer says: "For ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble, caused by the use of coffee (Tea contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee), until I got so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eating. There were times when I could eat only boiled milk and bread; and when I went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength. "I doctored steady and took almost everything I could get for my stomach In the way of medicine, but if I got sop better it only lasted a little while. I was almost a walking skeleton. "One day T. read an ad for Postum and told niy Vf.ife.I ,t«6^1d try it, and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge: "I quit coffee ehitrely and used Dostum in its placed :t nave regained'my health entirely and cati eat anything that is cooked to e a t r I have inere*g,ed in weight until npw.i weigh m^re.lhan I ever did.

Have you ever seen a table in summer decorated with wild carrot? It costs nothing and when arranged in masses in a deep green bowl is cool and dainty. If you can get the seed pods to mlit in with the carrot the effect is heightened. In selecting a floral centerpiece strive for variety. Have a different decoration for each meal. Even if flowers must be used more than once, as is natural where one has a small garden, it takes little time to have a separate decoration for each meal. At breakfast keep the scheme simple. Some people will not use flowers at this meal, but a few blooms in a slender vase are sure to attract. The dinner decoration should have thought put on it. Stylish Gloves. White is still the proper shade In gloves, but tans are also good form and the various Bhades of taupe are growing in popularity.

The poor little fellow suffered very much. The sores began as pimples, his little face was disfigured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like. The face looked like raw meat. We tied little bags of cloth over his handsr to prevent him from scratching. He Was very restless, at night, his little face itched. "We consulted two doctors at Chicago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the result, and after four weeks, the dear child's face was as fine and clean as any little baby's face.

A large proportion of country electors were enrolled at the time of the annual spring election, but if you are not among this number you should * not neglect* to enroll before the legal time limit has expired. ESTABLISH LIBRARY School Districts Can Secure Honey From the County School districts, which have not already done so are urged by the department of Public Instruction to consider the establishment of a library at the annual school meeting to be held Monday July 8* A majority vote of the [electors present will carry the proposition which does not cost the district one cent of money. Establishment of a library merely means that the school district will receive its share of the library fund which is made up of the penal fines paid to the county. As soon as a school district votes to establish a library, the township board must give to the district its share of books in the township library and of library money on hand. Thereafter the district will receive its share 1 of library appointment, this being based upon the number of children on the census roll, A well selected, library is recognized by present-day educators as the mpst valuable school equiptnet possible.

There are true sportsmen and those who are in no respect any kind of sportsmen. A true sport is not one who would enjoy seeing our lakes and streams robbed of fish. Neither does he like to see the bluegilis caught by the hundreds at this time of the year, thus destroying four-fifths of the seasons spawn. Is there a more enomical or better way to stock our lakes with fish than to prohibit all fishing for at least 30 days or more during the spawning season? Perch should , be protected in February just as much as the bluegilis at the present time. There is a recent amendment to the effect that white, silver and strawberry bass may be caught at any time of the year. This amendment takes effect ninety days after the adjournment of the special session. \ M a n y W , ^ F a r m e r ?

HOWLETT, Prop. % 0 For several years past instead of holding summer school at the different county seats throughout the state, the department of public instruction has inaugurated a system of great benefit to teachers whereby those summer schools for the preparation of teachers are held at the different State^Normal Colleges. L. L. Wright, state superintendent of public instruction, has ordered the county schoo commissioners whose counties are contigent to Washtenaw county to hold their summer institute at Ypsilanti Normal College, which will hold itoc summer session of six weeks beginning June 24 and closing Aug. 2. Counties adjoining other State Normal Colleges have been instructed to send their teachers to those colleges for the six weeks teacher's instruction. In Livingston county many teachers have attended the summer school at Ypsilanti and praise it highly. It looks this year as though the attendance from this county wouid be the largest ever and that next year would be Livingston county's most prosperous school year.

Nomination for the presidency, with the party admittedly lacing the greatest crisis in its history, came to William H . Taft; of Obio, at 9:25 o'clock Saturday in the Republican national convention. James S. Sherman likewise was renominated as vice-president. The revolt of many of the Roosevelt delegates jn the convention was on. from the moment the permanent roll containing the names of contested delegates was approved. A "valedictory" statement was read in behalf of Col. Roosevelt, asking thaj his name be not presented and that his delegates sit in mute protest against all further proceedings. A great majority of the Roosevelt delegates in the Illinois and all in the Missouri and Idaho delegations declined to follow this advice, but Col. Roosevelt's sway over the delegations from r California, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and West Virginia was all but absolute. Still Loyal to T. R. Most of the delegates from these states announced their purpose of helping give Mr. Roosevelt an independent nomination at another hall later in the evening. The split in tbe convention occasioned no surprise. It was but a fulfillment of predictions that had been made during the past several days. The closing scenes of the convention were marked by counter demonstrations for President Taft a^rtr*t?«l. Roosevelt. ' The first test vote after the announcement of the* Roosevelt valedictory came on the adoption of the party platform. The affirmative vote was* GGG. Roosevelt delegates present and .not voting numbered 34'1 01 u . There were 53 noes, 3G of them from the La Follette states of Wisconsin and North: Dakota. Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, was placed before the convention, but Col. Roosevelt's wishes were carried out by his followers and they remained silent during the call of the states for nominations. .- Carried Out instructions. Many of the delegates, however, carried out their* primary instructions arid voted for the colonel. On the voting for president, the Roosevelt delegates again, as a rule, remained silent. The detailed vote was: Taft, 561; Roosevelt, 107; L a Follette, 41; Cummins, 17; Hughes, 2; not voting, ZA; absent, C. , At times during the balloting the convention was in great confusion. Roosevelt Men Silent The Roosevelt program as determined upon was carried out at Saturday's session of the convention after the convention had received the last of the credentials committee report and had become permanently organized. There was no bolt, but in accordance with the programno roll call was demanded, and after "the permanent organization was completed the Roosevelt men did not vote. This was in obedience to the requesK of the colonel contained in a statement read to the convention. The colonel's statement was read by Henry J. Allen, of Kansas. Mr. Allen supplemented it with a statement of his own, which he said represented the views of a majority of the Roosevelt delegates. The convention had been in session four hours and a half, when- Mr. Allen got up to read Mr. Roosevelt's statement right after the report of the committee on permanent organization had been received and adopted and Mr. Root had become permanent chairman/ The announcement by M r Allen that he had a statement to make from Theodore Roosevelt led up to a noisy, demonstration by the Roosevelt men lasting 20 minutes. The convention—the fifth day—began at 10:40, Saturday morning, when Senator Root's gavel whacked the table in some unusually vigorous strokes. The convention had been adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock, but at that hour only a few delegates were in their seats*, it-was a weary and faded-looking., lot of delegates and alternates that came slowly into the coliseum. Saturday morning. S T A T E N E W S I N B R I E F . T O I M P E A C H A R C I J B Q L D . Battle Creek high school graduated 84, its largest class.

Auditor-GeneraJ Fuller sent notices to all sheriffs and prosecuting attorneys in the state requesting them to ascertain tbe number of foreign liquor dealers doing business in' Michigan without a state license. Mr. Fuller says there are 130 foreign liquor dealers in the state, and only 38 6f this number have paid their $50Q state-license. . The Michigan Sanitarium and5 B nevolent association, of Battle Creek, and the Missionary society of the Methodist church, must pay back $5,- 000 and '$ltO0$ respectively, received from the estate of Edward A. Ray- "nor, according to a decision of circuit court, in Grand Rapids. Raynor was held to be physicaliy and mentally weak when he made the gifts. Though a coroner's jury in Battle Creek agreed that Zekehiah K. Bickford, secretary of the A. B. Stove Co,' did not blow his horn just before his auto struck and killed Miss Gladys Gould, the Jury declined to fix the responsibility for the tragedy on Bickford, there by knocking one prop from under the state's case againstv him for manslaughter. Five witnesses swore that there was no warning signal, but none of the five saw the girl struck. Two of the witnessed agreed that the auto ran ISO fee't beyond" the point where It struck Miss Gould, indicating that Bickford was driving faster than he admits. Believing the $30,000 appropriated by the legislature for an armory is inadequate, members of the Kalamazoo M , N . G. hope to raise an additional 410,000. Addressing the graduates of the Battle Creek Sanitarium Training School for Nurses, Dr. R. L . Dixbn took occasion to attack the commercialism now so evident among physicians and nurses. "The greatest neg-, ative principal of the medical profession is its commercialism at the hands of unscrupulous individuals," said Dixon, "and theje is the same tendency in" 4toe nursing profession." There were 48 in the class. Commerce Pourt Judge Will Be Tried' in v Senate. : ~ Voting to report articles of .impeachment against Judge Robert W.

Chairman Clayton will present the report from the floor as of the highest privilege and. will give to the house the charges and specifications the committee makes accusing the judge of misbehavior^ W7ith the report will be a resolution appointing five or possibly seven of the leading lawyers of the house to act as managers of the trial, which will lae held by the senate. The culm bank transaction will furnish the basis of the accusations. Score Drowned in Pier Collapse.

A colporteur in South Carolina, walking many miles through mud, accosted a passerby and suggested the purchase of the Bible. He was refused.

At St. Andrews some years ago an old farmer and his plowman were carting sand from the seashore. They were behind the target on the riflerange, but hidden by a bank of sand from a party of volunteers, who were then on foot, at practice. A stray bullet struck the plowman on the leg, and he immediately dropped, exclaiming: "I'm shot!" Without more ado the farmer scrambled up the bank and, waving his hand to the volunteers, shouted: "Hey, lads, stop that will ye? You've shot a man, and it micht hae been the horse !"-pLondon Tit-Bits. DOCTOR'S SHIFT. *\ Now Gets Along Without it.

She knew that the only people In that wilderness were the members of her own party, three of them were at the*camp.below; the others were ascending a mountain miles away. The canon was deep sunk, and she satisfied herself by careful observation that the pool was not overlooked by any elevations far or near. Her ablutions In common with those of the rest of the campers had been by piecemeal of necessity. Here was an opportunity for a plunge in a natural bath tub. She was as certain that ehe would be under no observation as if she were in ihe privacy of her own chamber. Here again impulse determined the end. In spite of her assurance there was some lit tie apprehension In the glance that she cast about her, but it soon vanished. There was no one. She was absolutely alone. The pool and the chance of the plunge had brougbt her down to earth again; the thought of the enlivening exhilaration of the pure cold 6YNOP618.

Surveying the great range she wondered -where the peak climbers might (be* Keen sighted though she was, she oould not discover them. The crest <that they were attempting lay In another direction hidden by a nearer fepur. She was in the very heart of 'the mountains; peaks and ridges rose fell about her, so much so that the gen- *ral direction of the great range was lost She was at the center ot a far Hung cocavity of crest and range. She marked one towering point to the right o i her that rose massively grand above tall the others. Tomorrow she would climb to that high point and from its lofty elevations look upon the heavfens above and the earth beneath, aye and the waters under the earth ! far below. Tomorrow1.—it is generally known that we do not usually attempt the high points in life's range at once, content are we with lower altitudes today. • There was no sound above her; the !rushing water over the rocks upon the nearer side she could hear faintl y ; there was no wind about her to stir the long needles of the pines, it was very still, the kind of a stillness of 'body which is the outward and visible complement of that stillness of the BOUI in which men'know God. There had been no earthquake, no storm, the mountains had not heaved beneath her feet, the great and strong wind bad not passed by, the rocks had not been rent and broken, yet Enid caught iherself listening as if for a voice. The thrill of majesty, silence, loneliness was upon her. She stood—one stands 'when there is a chance of meeting God on the way, one does not kneel until he comes—with her raised hands clasped, her head uplifted In exultation unspeakable, God-conquered with her face to heaven upturned. * M I will lift up mine eyes to the hills whence cometh my salvation/' !her heart sang voicelessly. "We praise thee, oh, God, we magnify thy holy aiame forever," floated through her 'brain, in groat appreciation of the marvelous work of the Almighty shapi n g master hand. Caught up as it were into the heavens, her soul leaped to meet its maker. Thinking to find God she waited there on the heaven kissing hill. How long she stayed she did not realize; she took no note of time; it did not occur to her even to look at the watch on her wrist, she had swept the skyline cut off as it were by the peaks when first she came, and when at last she turned away—even divinest moments must have an end—she looked not backward. She saw not a little cloud hid on tbe horizon behind the rampart of the ages, as it were, to bigger than a man's hand, a cloud fuil of portent and which would alarm greatly the veteran Klrkby in the camp and Maltland on the mountain top. Both of them unfortunately were unable to see It, one being on the other side of the range, and the other deep in tbe canon, and for both of them as for the girl the sun still ahone brightly. The declivity tp the river on the tipper side; was comparatively easy and; Enid Maltland went slowly and thoughtfully down to It until she reached the young torrent She got her tackle ready, but did no casting, as the made her way slowly up the ever narrowing, ever ristxffc canon, fine,was charmed and thrilled by the wild beauty of the way, the spell of Ike mountains was deep upon' her. Thoughtfully she wandered on until presently she came to another little amphitheater like that where the camp was pitched^ only smaller. String* to say, the brook or river hers broadened in a. little pool perhaps, twenty feet across; a turn had thrown! a full force of water against tne huge boulder wall and In ages Jt effort a giant cup bad been hollowed out of the native rock. The pool was perhaps four or five feet leap, the rocky bottom worn smooth, Hie clearing was upon the opposite fide and the banks were heavily longer untenanted, she was no longer wooded beyond the spur of the rock faione. as If he did not know quite what to make of the white loveUness of this unwonted apparition flashing so suddenly at him out of the water, this strange invader of the domain of which he was sole master and lord paramount, stood a great, monstrous, frightful looking grizzly bear,. Ursus Horrlbilis, indeed. He was an aged monarch of the mountains, reddish brown in color originally, but now a hoary dirty gray. His body was massive and burly, his legs short, dark colored and immensely powerful. His broad square head moved restlessly. His fanged mouth opened and a low hoarse growf came from the red cavern of his throat He was an old and terrible monster who had tasted the bloed of man and who would not hesitate to attack without provocation, especially anything at once so harmless and so whitely inviting as the girl in the pool. The girl forgot the chill of tho water "He For God's Sake!" water dashing against her own sweet warm young body changed the current of her thoughts—the anticipation of it rather. Impulsively she dropped her rod upon the grass, unpinned her hat, threw the fishing basket from her shoulder. She was wearing a stout sweater; that, too, joined the rest Nervous hands manipulated buttons and the fastenings. In a few moments the sweet figure of youth, of beauty, of purity and of innocence brightened the sod and shed a white luster upon the green of the grass and moss and pines, reflecting light to the. gray brown rocks of the range. So Eve may have looked on some bright JSden morning. A few steps forward and this nymph of the woods, this naiad of the mountains, plunged into the clear, Cold waters of the pool—a water sprite and her fountain! C H A P T E R V., The Bear, the Man and the Flood. The water was deep enough to receive her dive and the pool was long enough to enable her to sVlm a few strokes. The first chill of the i c y water was soon lost in the vigorous motions i n which she Indulged, but no more human form, however hardy and Inured, couid long endure that frigid bath. Reluctantly, y§t;wlfh tbe knowledge that she must go, after one more sweeping dive and a few magnificent strokes, she raited ber head from the water lappftg her white shoulders and shaking her face clear from tbe drops of crystal, faced the shore. It was no which formed the back of the pool She could tee the trout In It She made ready to try her fortune* but before she did to an idea came to her—daring* unconventional, extraordinary, begdt o f innocence and inexperience. ftttt the h i d been accustomed all her life to taking a bath wt the natural Htajftrstur* ofthe water at whatever with a glint ot surprise to them, too What the taw startled and alarmed her beyond measure. Planted on her clothes, looking straight at her, having come upon ber in absolute silence, nothing having given her the least warning of his approach, and now gating at her with red, hungry, evil, vicious eyet, the eyes of the covetous filled with the cruel lust of desire and carnal possession, and yet In the horror of that moment. Alone, naked, defenseless, lost In the mountains, with the most powerful, sanguinary and ferocious beast of the continent in front of her, she could neither fight nor fly; she could only wait his pleasure. He snuffed at her clothing a moment and stood with one fore foot advanced for a second or two growling deeply, evidently, she thought with almost superhuman keenness of perception, preparing to leap into the pool and seize upon her. Tho rush of the current as it swirled about her caused her to sway gently, otherwise she stood motionless and apprehensive, awfully expectant. She had made no sound, and save for that low growl the great beast had been equally silent. There was an awful fixity in the gaze the turned upon him and he wavered under i t i t annoyed him. It bespoke a little of the dominance of the human. But she was too surprised, too unnerved, too desperately frightened to put forth the full power of mind over matter. There was piteous appeal i n ber gaze. The bear realised this and mastered her sufficiently. She did not know whether she was In the water or in the air; there were but two points upon which ber consciousness was focussed in the vast ellipse of her imagination. Another moment or two and all coherency of thought would be gone. The grizzly still unsettled and uneasy before her awful glance, but not deterred by it, turned Its great head sideways a little to escape the direct imtnobllo stare brought his sharp clawed foot down heavily and lurched forward. Scarcely had a minute elapsed in which all this happened. That/huge threatening heave of the great body toward her relieved the tension. She found voice at last. Although it was absolutely futile, she realized as the cried, her released lips framed the loud appeal. "Help! for (fed's take," Although she knew she cried but to the bleak walls of the canon, the drooping pine*, the rushing river, U e [ distant heaven, the appeal went forth accompanied by the mightiest conjuration known to man. 'Tor God's sake, help!" How dare poor humanity so plead, the doubter cries. What is it to God If one suffers, another^bleeds, another dies? What answer couid come out of that silent sky? Sometimes the Lord speaks with the loud voice of men's fashioning, instead of in that still whisper which is his own, and the sound of which we fail to catch because of our own ignoble babble. The answer to her prayer came with a roar in her nervous frightened ear like a clap of thunder. Ere the first echo of it died away, it was succeeded by another and another and another, echoing, rolling, reverberating among the rocks in ever diminishing bunong drawn out peals. On the mutant the bear rose to his feet, swayed slightly and struck as at an Imaginary enemy with his weighty paws. A hoarse, frightful guttering roar burst from his red slavering jaws, then he lurched side ways and fell forward, fighting the air madly for a moment, and lay still. With staring eyes that missed no detail, she saw that the brute-had been shot in the head and jshoulder three times and that he was apparently dead. The revulsion that came over her was bewildering; she swayed again, this time not from the thrust of the water, but with sick falntness. The tension suddenly taken off, unetrung, the loose bow of her spirit quivered helplessly; the arrow of her life almost fell Into the stream. And then a new and more appalljng terror swept over her. Some man had fired that shot. AT fa eon had spied upon Diana. With this sudden revelation of her shame, the red blood beat to the white surface In spite of the chill water. The anguish of that moment was greater than before. She could be killed, torn to pieces, devoured, that was a small thing, but that she should be so outraged In her modesty was unendurable. She wished the hunter had not come. She sunk lower in the water for a moment fain to hide In its crystal clarity and realno t bestow a glance upon her. She could have cried aloud in thanksgiving for his apparent obliviousness to ber as she crouched now neck deep in the benumbing cold. The man stepped on the bank, shook himself like a great dog might have done and mar-tied over to the bear. He uprooted a small nearby pine, with the ease of a Hercules— and she had time to mark and marvel at it in spite of everything— and then with that as a lever he unconcernedly and easily heaved the body of the monster from off her clothing. She was to learn later what a feat of strength it was to move that inert carcass weighing much more than half a ton. Thereafter he dropped the pine tree by the side of the dead grizzly and without a backward look tramped swiftly and steadily up the canon through the trees, turning at the point of it and was Instantly lost to sight His gentle and generous purpose were obvious even to the frightened, agitated, excited girl. The woman watched him until he disappeared, a few seconds longer, and then she hurled herself through the water and stepped out upon tbe shore. Her sweater which the bear had dragged forward In its advance, lay on top of the rest of her clothes, covered with blood. She threw It aside and with nervous, frantic energy, wet, cold, though she was, she jerked on in some fashion enough clothes to cover her nakedness and then with more leisurely order and with necessary care she got the rest of her apparel in Its accustomed place upon her body, and then when it was all over she sank down prone and prostrate upon tbe grass by the carcass of the now harmless monster which had so nearly caused her undoing, and shivered, cried and sobbed as if her heart would break. She was chilled to the bone by her motionless sojourn, albeit It had been for scarcely more than a minute in that icy water, and yet the blood rushed to her brow and face, to every hidden part of ber In waves as she thought of it. It was a good thing that she cried; she was not a weep- She Screamed Aloud. l2ed as she did how frightfully cold she was. Yet, although she froze where she was and perished with cold she could not go out on the bank to drets, and it would avail her little, she eaw swiftly,' since the huge monster bad fallen a dead heap on her clothes. Now all this, although It takes minuses to tell, had happened In but a few seconds. Seconds sometimes include hours, even a life-time, In their brief composition. She thought it would be just as well for her to sink down and die in tho water, when a sudden splashing below her caused her to look down the stream. She was so agitated that the could make out little except that there,wat a man crossing below her and making directly toward tbe body of the bear. He was a tall black bearded man, the saw he carried a rifle, he looked neither to the right nor to the left lie did Ing woman, her teart came slowly as a rule and then came hard. She rather prided herself upon her stoicism, but in this instance the great depths of her nature had been undermined and the fountains thereof were fain to break forth. How long she lay there, warmth coming gradually to her under the direct rays of the sun, she did not know* and it wat a strange thing that caused ber to arise. It grew suddenly dark over her head. She looked up and a rim of frightful black, dense clouds had suddenly" blotted out the sun. The clouds were lined with gold and silver and, the long rays shot from behind the somber blind over tbe yet uncovered portions of the hea;ven, but the clouds moved with the: irresistible swiftness and steadiness of a great deluge, t h e wall ot them lowered above her head while ,tb*y extended steadily and rapidly across the sky toward the other site of the canon and the mountain wall. A storm was brewing such aa she had never seen, such as she had nc experience to enable her to realUe its malign possibilities. Nay. it wat now at hand. She had no clew, however, of what was toward, how terrible a danger overshadowed her. Frightened but unconscious of all the menace ol the hour, her thoughts flew down the canon to the camp. She must hasten there. She looked for her watch which she had lifted from the grass and which she had not yet put on. The grizzly had stepped upon it, It was irretrievably ruined. She judged from her last glimpse of the sun that It must now be early afternoon. She rose to her feet and staggered with weakness; she had eaten nothing since morning, and the nervous shock and strain through which she had gone had reduced her to a pitiable condition. Her luncheon had fortunately escaped unharmed. In a big pocket of her short skirt there was a small flask of whiskey, which her Uncle Robert had required her to take with her. She felt sick ane^ faint, but she knew that she must eat If she was to make the journey, difficult as it might prove, back to the camp. She forced herself to take the first mouthful ot bread and meat she had brought with ber, but when she had tasted she needed no further Incentive, she a to to the last crumb; she thought thta was the time she needed stimulants, too, and mingling the cold water from the brook with a little of the ardent spirit from the flask, she drank. Some of the chill had worn off, some of the fatigue had gone. She rose to her feet and started down the canon; her bloody sweater still lay on the ground with other things of which she was heedless. It had grown colder, but she realized that the climb down the canon would put her stagnant blood in circulation and all would be well. Before she began the descent of the pass, she cast one loDg glance backward whither the man had gone. Whence came he, who was he, what had he seen, where was he now? She thanked God for his Interference tn one breath and hated him for his presence in the other. * The whole sky was now black with drifting clouds, lightning flashed above her head, muttered peals of thunder, terrifically ominous, rocked through the silent Mils. The noise was low and subdued, but almost continuous. With a singular and uneasy feeling that she was being observed, she started down the canon, plunging desperately through the trees, leaping the brook from Bide to side where it narrowed, seeking ever the easiest way. She struggled on, panting with sudden inexplicable terror almost as bad as that which had overwhelmed her an hour before—and growing more Intense every moment, to such a tragic pass had the day and Its happenings brought her. Poor girl, awful experience really was to be hers that day. Tbe fates/ sported with her—bodily fear, outraged modesty, mental anguish and now the terror of the storm. The clouds seemed to sink lower, until they almost closed about her. Long gray ghostly arms reached out toward her. It grew darker and darker in the depths of the canon. She screamed aloud—in vain.

They tell us that the days of cutthroat competition are already gone, and that the/ will never return; that the question of service value is obtruding itself so persistently that it is impossible that it should much longer be disregarded. It is not necessary that one should be a very close student in order to find positive evidence that such a change is taking plane. In a word, we are getting to the point where we are willing to assert with all the. force of public opinion that the old rule, "Enough is enough," applies to one class of people quite as much as to another. Ten or fifteen years ago men ran their business affairs as if the general public had no rights in the matter. The sole inspiration for business was the accumulation of earnings from which to declare dividends, and any apparent desire on the part of the people to penetrate beneath the surface of things was promptly checkmated. "The public be damned" was the rule in many offices that had nothing to do with railway management. Today there is still a certain amount of this spirit, but it is rapidly being eliminated. The judicial and legislative investigations of big busi-, ness enterprises have shown man that he cannot ride roughshod over his fellows forever. As a result, the better davs are alreadv dawniner. As George W. Perkins suggests, the time has come when the "only kind of a trust that can live is one that makes money for its stockholders by manufacturing a commodity that the people need for a less price than they were able to get it for before." This is but another way of saying that service value is beginning to be an important factor in the commercial world, and, fortunately, the term "service value** does not apply to one class alone. It is not sufficient that a Jbusiness should be of value to its owners. It must also have a distinct service value to the community, or it is destined to go into the discard. G r o w t h o f S n o b b e r y i n T h i s C o u n t r y Those of us who are of Anglo-Saxon origin or descent are pretty sure to be snobs, whatever we may think. But we cannot help it; it is in the blood. There is nothing strikes an Englishman or American traveling in Latin countries more than the easy fsffniliarity which exists among the people. It is true there is class distinction, but this docs not make for haughtiness on the one hand or servility on the other. This was also the case among the Gaelic peoples until tney fell under the influence of4he Anglo-Saxon, or probably it would be more correct to say the Anglo-Norman. This man with his bard feudalists spirit, kn^wrng nothing of or caring nothing for sympathy, much less brotherhood, as between man and man, believing only in conquest; and dominion, upon him the fugus of snobbery grew apace. Every one of us today who humiliates a man. because he is poor or insignificant or toadies to another because he is rich or powerful is imitating the Anglo-Norman. ' Beyond any question of doubt snobbery is a large and flourishing growth in this country.

We have, it is true, our devotees of "blood" too, but they are not quite sure of themselves. Of course there are many degrees of snobbery and it is to be found in the kitchen as well as in the parlor. How to eradicate it? Ah, I wish I could tell. I fear satire will never do it. For do we not, know that Thackeray's great work, "The Book of Snobs," was written in vain? T H E R E is in current use a proverb disrespectful to womankind in genera], unkind, unchivalric, and I hope and believe, without foundation in fact. To be sure, it only mentions one class of women. It hits the sex as a whole. This proverb alleges that maiden ladies are all duly catalogued, and at death will be ticketed to the lower regions, where their occupation will be "to lead apes." Now for myself, I think in a way it is a pity for any woman "to blush unseen and waste her sweetness on the desert air" of "single blessedness." But is a woman who never ories; but how many have attentively con-' fh n a d n 8 £Xa n?h m 0 r e t 0 ' * J than a man in the same s<ift uation^? There has recently been much discussion in regard to prolonging the preliminary courses of study for the various professions, notably the legal vocation. Brilliant paragraphs have been penned by distinguished attorneys. These writers must have undoubtedly admired their thesidered the injustice these sentiments would cause if executed ? . * Elaborate schedules hare been proposed,, suggesting so many hours for lectures, so many hours for study and so forth, but naught has been said about the poor student who is forced to spend his few hours of recreation laboriously and zealously accumulating a knowledge of the finer technicalities of law.

Attorneys who have attended night school should consider the struggling student and rememberall they themselves have endured. Let us all bear in m i n d j ^ t "talent may be stimulated by study, but it cannot be manufactured. - The goody-goody schoolma'am, the mandarin-schoolmaster, the philistine-pedagogue, the pedant-administrator with his business capacities, have proved themselves incompetent to. deal with the education of the young.

She cannot help herself, and is therefore not to blame, while the old bachelor is and remains so of malice prepense. It might seem as if this proverb had perhaps unconsciously settled itself very far back in the occiput of some women, either never' fancied by any man or not by the right one, who had determined to begin a course of preparatory study on earth so as to be qualified for duties down below. It must be some thought like this that lies at the root of the sentiment of the young lady who devotes all her time and attention and a good deal of her money to the excessive care of dumb animals. She has a kennel of fancy pups, which is all right, and if she would confine her attention to perfectly proper puppy cultivation there would be no fault to find. "Society's" Peculiar Follies. Xow "society** is peculiar, whether at home in the Fifth avenue mansions or in the summer season at Newport and other seaside resorts. The rest of the world has heard with mingled amusement and derision of monkey dinners given by the wc-nen of what Is called the haute ton. It is a matter of record that some of them, if they look back a generation or two, spell the first word hoe. Where the young woman enjoying leisure from all occupation, too luxurious a life and the use of entirely too much money goes wrong in her devotion to puppies and kittens, is in letting: her imagination run away with ber to such a degree thaj* she appears to confuse the dumb animals with the young offspring of her own race and- treats them accordingly. These aristocratic puppies of this aristocratic maiden lady have their finger and toe nails carefully manicured every morning, and their teeth brushed, each canine having his own outfit. If that is not preparing "to lead apes in hell" it is certainly neither preparation nor practice for anything quite human or at all useful in this life. Oh, no, I don't belong to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It is not because I have no care for doggie or pussy, I have almost an affection for dogs and horses, and, unlike the "crank" referred to by Shylock, have no antipathy to the "harmless cat." Tribute to Charles Crocker. Miss Jennie Crocker is a Californian. She is a granddaughter of Charles Crocker, one of the original "big four" to whom all Californians owe the first trans-continental railroad built in the state, which added much to the comfort of us all, and to the prosperity of the state. Many of us knew Mr. Crocker in his lifetime, and those who knew him best liked him most. He had enemies a-plenty, but most of them were persons who never met him, and whose objections were purely academic. The railroad in whose directorate his name appeared did some things that were not entirely right. Do any of you know any great enterprise of the present time or of any past time that was entirely "without sin?" It became popular to rail against the railroad, and the railing was done very largely because of the road's political activity. Also the railing was done in a large part by politicians who schemed night and day to keep the railroad in politics in order to make it pay to get legislation passed which would be beneficial to,the people as a whole, or to stop the passage of such legislation as would be detrimental to the railroad and to the public alike. The late Charles Crocker was tin abrupt man, as was natural to one of his birth, bringing up and lifetime habits. But he was a man of very hard common sense, and never "put on a bit of style" nor made any pretensions because he had happened to become a very rich man. As millionaire railroader he was as democratic as when he was a country miller back in Indiana. Nor was he a curmudgeon, either, but often gave generously of his means to persons in need or for proper purposes. More in Crocker's Line. From my own knowledge of him I have a fixed opinion that he would much rather have endowed a bed in a hospital or asylum where sick and necessitous children might be cared for, than .to build a palatial kennel for dogs, h would be much more like his good common sense to send a box of tooth brushes to such an asylum or hospital than to" buy one for the most highly-bred pup tbat ever uttered a "bow-wow." I have known a great many maiden ladles in my lifetime, some of them sweet sixteen, and some of them just as sweet at sixty. They were in all respects most estimable persons, full of kindly sympathy and cheerful as the birds that Bing in the summer day, without a particle of bitterness bred from disappointment in the matrimonial or any other line. Yet I always felt sorry for them, and the more sympathetic, bright and contented they were, the more my pity grew. No, It is true, my lamentations were not always for the spinsters themselves, but divided itself Into their account iantWhat of some man who had missed the inestimable bless- Ing ot, lifelong companionship and partnership with them. Nay, my stock ;\ / : ; • " , • i of sympathy waa aegregattfl. into a dividend of at least three parts, for ! my pity* Went out tp^the unborn children who might have been "cuddled to the tender breast of one of these women, and known the sweetness and the benefit of her kindly and v;i56 guidance,.; " Found Many Outlets for Love. And let me tell you, some of them had too much humanity, carefully cultivated under Christian Influences not to find an outlet for their sympathies and love, and it was not lavished foolishly, inhumanly on puppies or kittens. Now, Miss Jennie Crocker is no doubt not the least in the world like "Lady Clara Vere 4 e Vere" in pride of ancestry or of money. While she has nothing in her ancestry to blush for, it would make "the grand old gardener and his wife" smile broadly to hear one of the Crockers indulging in "pride of long descent." On the other hand, she has plenty of the wealth which constitutes too much or the patent of nobility in democratic America. Yet, as I say, she is not known to manifest any pride on this account. But like Tennyson's Lady Clara, would it not be better for the Lady Jennie to teach the neighbor boy to read and the neighbor girl to sew than to waste such frivolous attentions on the aristocratic puppy and pussy? Now, it may be that there are no children to teach to read or to sew. But let me warn Lady Jennie, there are thousands of them who would reap great benefits in being provided with a tooth brush and taught the proper use of it. If, moreover, doggie is provided with a manicure set and a tooth brush you may be well assured his fare is too luxurious for his health and too costly for Christian "charity in a city where there are so many miserable little souls unprovided with proper dress and often hungry for lack of food. Makes for Class Hatred. Miss Crocker and her whole class are menaced every day in the world in their material Interests by a grow* ing socialism, increasing daily in its intense bitterness and class hatred. These rich people are often menaced in their person by.,-the hostility of some of those against whom the currents of life'run too strong to be successfully resisted. "There is not a tinge nor touch of socialism or sympathy with socialism in my make-up. If there "rs anything I indulge a sentiment of hatred toward this Is it. But I do see that just such conduct as this young woman is guilty of (and I used the word guilty with due deliberation) encourages the growth of socialism, and fosters the class hatred which is making life often dangerous in other cities like New York, and it always makes the management of large industrial enterprises difficult in the extreme. For the sake of the love of the A l l Father who made us all, and loves us all, for the sake of our common humanity and of our own families, let this frivolity in the foolish care of puppies and cats go to—and let us expend our sympathies as well as our money on the care of the destitute waifs whose present life is miserable, and whose future life to the country may be dangerous* Has. Repented Her Foolishness. Glory be, Miss Crocker confirms the views set forth above on the influence of heredity and the ethics concerning puppies and babies. After the foregoing was written comes an announcement that this sensible young lady has ordered her kennel of thoroughbred dogs sold, and that she is about to eschew "single blessedness" and share all the sweetness of her personality with a young bridegroom who I_ Eincerely hope may prove in every "way worthy of a Crocker bride. As the daughter of the late Colonel Crocker, Miss Jennie should be quite like all good little girls who as the fairy tale tells us are made of "sugar and spice and everything nice." But she is only half a Crocker, and therein again "noblesse oblige." Her mother was the daughter of the late D. 0. Mills, and if there were ever anything better in the line of humanity among the pioneers than the Mills family it was good indeed,—G. W. Burton in the L o | Angeles Times. VICTIMS OF WHITE PLAGUE Long List of Great Men of the World Whose Lives Were Cut Short by Tuberculosis. Not a few of the world's greatest geniuses in art, science ajxd literature have died from tuberculosis, and on this account certain writers, such as Dr. Arthur Jacobson or Dr. John B. Huber, tfcink that possibly this disease may provide a certain stimulus to the geniuses of an already great man. The following are some of the great men and women of letters mentioned by Dr. Jaconson who have died from -fuberculosls: John Milton, John Locke, Alexander Pope, Dr. Samuel Johnson, Sir Walter Scott. Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Goethe, Robert Louia Stevenson, Sidney Lanier, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Voltaire, John Ruskin, Charles Kingsley r Immanuel Kant, Rousseau, B. P. Roe, and Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Among other great men who are reported to have died of tuberculosis may be mentioned Raphael, von Weber, Chopin, Nevln, Calvin, Cicero and Cecil Rhodes. SOLDIER'S BOOTS SAVED HIM How a Member of a Wagon Trains Made a Thdlllng Escape From a Band of Savage Indians. At Fort Kearney, before our train started up the Platte river for Fort, Laramie in the summer of 1867, each driver that needed boots drew a pair from the government store. When; Peter SmaU's (a little fellow) turn, came to select his boots all the smaller sizes had been drawn, and the near-' est hia fit was a pair two sizes too big for him, but he concluded to take them, as he was about barefooted, ancL no chance to get any more till we got, through. Our train consisted of seven wagons* loaded with supplies for the post, six mules to the team, and we were escorted by ten soldiers to protect us against possible attacks by Indians, writes Freeman 0. Cary of Hamilton, Wash., in the National Tribune. Each, Noticed Any? "They say that fellow is a fiend for work. He's a regular humandynamo.* "Yes, I know. H o w e v e r / i s e e lot of those human dynamos at ball park these days." They Were Gaining on Him Rapidly., driver was furnished an army rifle and ammunition by the government. We had been out a week, when oneafternoon about four o'clock we camped on a small stream called Sand creek. Up to that day we had seen no signs of Indians, so Pete, as we called him, concluded to go out on the high prairie and see if he, could kill an antelope and have some fresh meat He took his old Enfield rifle and a few cartridges, and struck out north across the creek. He had gone about half a mile when he noticed over on another ridge, about half a mile away, what at first he took to be a drove of antelopes, but on looking closer he saw they were in Indians—ten of them. They were dismounted and stood behind their ponies, and their heads only appearing above their backs. As soon as he had made sure that they were Indians he turned and started for camp. When the Indians saw that their decoy to draw him nearer to them failed, they sprang upon their ponies and came pell-mell after him. It was a race for life, with the odds against him. They were gaining on him rapidly with their fleet-footed ponies, and he saw that -they would soon overtake him unless he could devise some way to hold them in check. He thought as he ran along with his leaded gun that it would not do to shoot at them, however tempting the mark, for the instant his rifle was discharged they would pounce upon him, and his scalp would be hanging to one of their belts in no time. So he watched over his shoulder, and when they got near enough to begin shooting at him with their arrows (they had no guns) he stopped, turned and leveled -his rifle as if to pick one off, and they instantly checked their steeds and hung over on the opposite side of their ponies; then Pete whirled around and ron for dear life again, and before the Indians could get their ponies up to full speed he had gained a little on them, and when they closed up agoin he repeated the tactics. When he reached the creek opposite the camp, where water was about 14 feet wide and a foot deep, underlaid with treacherous quicksand, Pete hesitated not a moment, but gathered a l l the strength that was in him and leaped as far towards the other bank as he could. He struck about four feet from the farther shore, and sank to his waist in water and quicksand/ The Indians rushed- up and commenced to shoot at him. One arrow struck his hat and knocked it off. # He twisted around and raised his rifle as it to shoot, and the Indians dodged behind their ponies. Then Pete, with an energy born ot despair, wiggled his feet^out of his big government boots and jumped ashore and ran bareheaded and barefooted into camp, shouting "Indians." • r t The warning came too late. The 'Sioux galloped \down below, crossed the creek and rushed in between our mole herd and camp, yelling like demons. They drove off the whole l o t The herder had a close call, being cut off, too, but his fleet herding pony saved him. We had to lie there two weeks until another outfit cpuld he sent us from the fort, ~ w '.''Si' {Copyright, by W- a . Chapman.) The man stood upon the weir-bridge watching me, a conspicuous man with; strange clothes for xiverwork upon him, and a haunting activity which drove him from the lock to the inn, and again from tbe inn to the lock with a crazy restlessness which was maddening. I had been- for some hours whipping the mill-stream, which / l i e s over against the lockhouse at Pangbourne; but meeting with no success amongst the chub, which on this particular July evening were aggravatingly indifferent even to the succulent frog, I had punted to the bushes in the open river; and there lit my pipe and fell to speculation upon him who favored me with so' close an attention. I have said that he was a conspicuous man, and to this I owed it that I had seep him. He wore the straw hat of Jesus college, Cambridge, and a velvet coat which shone brown and greasy in the falling sunlight; but his legs were encased in salmonpink riding breeches, and he had brown boots! reaching to his knees. I sat there, i n turn wondering if he were honest or a rogue, an adventurer or an idler, a river-man'or a fop from Piccadilly. And as the problem was beyond me, I left it at last ;and taking up my punt-pole 1 gave three or four vigorous thrusts which sent me immediately to the landing-stage of the Swan Inn, and thence to my room. I could hear by no means inharmonious music floating out over the water from a girl's guitar; there were several launches waiting for the lock-gates; and I recall well the face of a very remarkable woman, who presently came to the landing-stage in a gig, the cushions of which were of an aggressive yellow, but one which was a striking contrast to her black hair and ivory-white skin. Quite apart, however, from her indisputable beauty. I had reason to watch this conspicuous oarswoman, for no sooner had she come to the landing-stage than the man in the velvet coat went to her assistance, and taking a number of bags and baskets from the boat, accompanied her up the village high street, and so carried her from my view. Here then, thought I, is the end of my mystery. Thejman had been waiting for the return of his wife, when T, •with preposterous,conceit, plumed myt self that he had been looking to speak with me. One dines up river, as most people know, in semi-public state. Loafers, loiterers, fruit-sellers, boatmen—all these congregate near the open window, and discuss verbally the dishes which the diner discusses more substantially. Custom so stales us that this publicity in no way interferes with our pleasure. I forgot the ridiculous romance of the velvet-coated man, and even his existence, until of a sudden he presented himself, no longer watching me upon the bridge, but standing at the casement, and asking to be admitted. "I'm most horribly sorry,'* said he, "to intrude upon you at your dinner, but my train leaves for town in ten minutes, and I particulary want your opinion upon something which they tell me you know more about than any man in England." "By all means," said I. "But your estimate of my opinion is hopelessly flattering; it concerns jewels, I suppose V "Exactly," said he; 'and I shell be under very large obligations to you if you will tell me whether two emeralds I have in my pocket are of any value, and if .so, where would be the best place to dispose of them?" He took a little paper box from his coat, and laid it near to my plate. I saw that it was a box which had contained tabloids of nitro-glyeerine (a drug prescribed for disease of the heart); and dthat it bad been sold by a chemist of the name of Benjamin Wain, whose shop was in the High street at Reading. These things I observed with my intuitive habit of grasping detail, Jearnt in long contention with rogues; and then forgot them as the man opened a screw of tissue paper, and I beheld two of the finest emeralds I have seen during my career. "Well," said he, after a pause, "do you find much the matter with them?" "I should want my glass to see," said I with caution; "the light is failing, and my eyes are not as good as they were." "You1 mean a magnifying glass, I suppose?" said he, producing a lens from his pocket. "Well, I happen to have one." Why it was I cannot tell you, but this trifling circumstances I marked down in my mind as'my first sound cause of suspicion against him. "They are fine stuff," said I; "do you happen to know where they come from?" >'I believe they come from Salzburg," he stammered; "at least I have heard so." "That could not possibly, be," said I; K the worst emeralds we have are the best product of that mine. 1 fancy they are ffrom Venezuela " "Ah, that's the; place," said he, "I remember i t now; but I've a wretched head for geography. it While he said this the train to London steamed out of the railway station, which is not a stone's throw from the inn, and he, forgetful of his tale to me, sat watching it unconcernedly. 1 .had discovered him i n S ^ second lie, and a waited to entrap him to a third with the practised pleasure of a cross-examiner. "Do you sell these stones for yourself or as an agent?" I asked, assuming some authority as I felt surer of him. His hesitation in answering was merely,momentary, but it was enough for my purpose. "For myself," said, he; and then with clumsy maladroitness he added, "They were left to me by my father, and 1 have never had the heart to offer them to any one. I'll tell you jwhat, though; if you'll give me a thousand pounds for tbe pair, you shall keep them." "That's a long price/ said I; "and if you don't mind the suggestion, my dinner's getting cold.' I had spoken thus with the design of putting him off; but he was undisguisedly an ill-bred man, and I saw that I could hawe bought the emeralds from him for five hundred pounds. "Come, now," he cried, "you don't want to be hard upon me; give me a check for five hundred and send the balance to Brighton in a week i f you find them as good as you,think. That's a fair offer, Isn't it?" "The offer is "fair enough," said I; "but you forget that I did not come here to buy emeralds. I am in Pangbourne to catch chub, as you saw this afternoon." "I'm afraid 1 can't agree to that,7' he replied with a laugh; "I did not see you catch chub this afternoon—I saw you miss three." "The bait is poor,"' I said meaningly; "fish are as canny as men, and don't take pretty things if they think there's a hook in them." This I gave him with such a stare that he rose up suddenly from his chair, and, having made a bungling parcel of his jewels, went off by himself. He had to pass my window as he left the inn, and as he crossed the road I called after him, saying— "You'll be losing your train to London." "Be d d to that!" said he; and with such a salute he turned the angle of the road, and I lost sight of him. But I thought much of his emeralds through the night, both in my walk across the old wooden bridge to Whitchurch, when the river lay dark and gloomy with the sough -of the breeze in the reeds and sedge-grass; and again as I lay in the old wooden "bestbed" of the inn. On the next day, quite early in the morning, I set out in a dogcart for Reading, having a rendezvous with Barisbroke at the Kennet's mouth, whence we were to start for a day's sport upon that fish-breeding river. ily (drive took me by the old Bathroad, turning to the left midway up the village street; but I had not gone very far upon the Reading road before I saw the handsome woman— the wife, as I assumed, of the velvetcoated man—now dressed with exceeding poorness, and carrying a heavy bag towards the biscuit town. It occurred to me, as I drove on, that the man, who had been with her on the previous day, had really left by the last train for London; but when I came into Reading, and was about to cross the High street, to reach Earleigh, I saw the name Benjamin Wain superscribed above a little chemist's shop, and I stopped, at once. I know that .a country tradesman will gossip like a fishwife; and I asked the man sfior some preparation which he could not possibly find in the pharmacopoeia, and so began to feel my ground. "You're well ahead of the times here/' said I, looking at his- showcase, which was woefully destitute of drugs. "I shouldn't have thought that you'd be asked for tabloids in a place like Reading." "Oh, but we are," said he, readily; "it's a wonderfully advanced town is heading—you won't get much in Regent street which is not here. I've lived in Reading all my life—and seen changes, sir, indeed I have!" "You know'most of the people then?" said I, with a purpose. "Ay," said he, "I've born and buried a many, so to speak; seen children grow to men and women, and men and women grow to children—you wouldn't think it perhaps!" and he hasn't got yellow hair—ha, ha, he hasn't got any at all." "Who Is her* I asked with growing curiosity. "Why, old Jabez Ladd, the miser, out at Yore park; he takes that stuff for his heart, sir. Wonderful weak heart he has, too;_ but he hasn't got yellow hair—no, I may say with conviction that he has.no hair at aU." I had learnt all I needed, for the, mere mention of the name Jabez Ladd was sufficient for me.^Atrthe tt&h's words a whole freshet of ldea4^cemed to rush to nay mind; The yellow-haired man had got his emeralds In a box. which must have come from Ladd's house, since he alone in the neighborhood took tabloids of nitro-glycorlne; another, the man's very shabiness and obvious shuffling pointed very strongly to the conclusion tnat he* should be watched. Of these things was I sure as I met Barisbroke, and I turned them over in my mind often during the moderate sport of the forenoon. I resolved at least to see the .old man; and when I had dined at a ridiculously early hour with Barisbroke, I crossed the river by the white bridge, and in thirty minutes I was at the gate of Yore Hall. I rang the great bell thrice, and birds fled from the eaves at the clatter, and the rabbits that had sported by the thicket disappeared in the warren. Some minutes after the third ring, and when I was preparing to drive off and leave Jabez Ladd, to his own affairs, the stable door opened, and a girl came out, dressed, it seemed to me, curiously in a smart white frock; but with untidy hair, though much of it; and an exceedingly pretty face, which had been the prettier for a little scouring. The creature had great dark eyes like a grisette of Bordeaux; and when she saw me, stood swaying upon her feet, and laughing as she bit at her apron-strings, as though my advent was an exceedingly humorous thing. Then she said,— "is it Mr. Ladd you're wanting?" I told her that it was. "You'll not be a county man?" she asked. "I'm from London,"' said I, "and my name is Bernard Sutton. Tell Mr. Ladd that I'll not keep him five minutes." 'There's no need," said she, simpering again; "he's been a-bed since the milk." "In bed!" cried I amazed, * "Yes," &aid she, "it's over late for company; but if ye'U write something I'll run up with it; the housekeeper's away sick." , She seemed to think that all this was a good joke, and wondered, doubt not, that I did not simper at her again. 1 was on the very point of whipping up the nag, and leaving such a cur ius household, when one of the landing windows went up with a creak, and Ladd himself, with a muf fler Tound his throat, was visible. "What d'ye want in ray grounds?" he roared. "Here, you hussy, what are ye chattering there for?—thought I was asleep did ye—ha!" "Good evening, Mr. Ladd," said quietly; "I'm sorry, but I Appear to have disturbed you.' I've a word for your ear if you'll come down." "Hullo;" cried he, in his cracked and piercing voice; "why it's you, is it? egad, I thought you were the butcher! What's your business?—I'm biding in bed, as you can see." "I can't shout," said I, "and my business is private." "Won't it wait?" he snarled. "You haven't come to sell me anything?" "I don't sell stuff in the street," said I. "come down and I'll talk to you. But if you don't want to hear—well, go to bed." His curiosity got the better of him at this poin^.and he snapped out the words, "I'm coming down,'' and then disappeared from the window. But he had no intention of opening the front door, as I found presently when of a sudden he appeared art a casement upon the ground floor, and resumed the conversation. "You're not asking after my health," said he, "but f 11 let you know that I'm •eat up with cold; can ye have done with it straight off?" • "Yes," said I, leaning over from the dog-cart to spare my voice. "Do you know a- tall man with yellow hair who's got two emeralds to sell?" At these words his face whitened fa the sunlight and he opened his great mouth to speak, but no sound came. Then quickly he drew a small box from his pocket, such as I had seen In the hands of the velvet-coated man, and took a tabloid from It T U be about letting you i t C said he, as he went to shut down the casement. But I said, "I - think not, there's a drive of five miles to Whitchurch before mc, and this horse trips." "For the love of God," cried he, suddenly putting off all self-restraint, "don't go till I've heard you—man, my life may depend upon i t ! " "How's that?" said L "I'm going to tell you," said he; "and if ye'U stay we'll crack a bottle of port together." -He whetted my curiosity now, and presently I heard him nagging at the "No," said I, "youVdon't show It; pretty girl who had first greeted me. bdt your reputation, if I may say soArktter that he threw the stable door goes beyond this place. I was in Pangbourne yesterday, where a tall, yellow-haired man was speaking of you; who is he, I wonder?" " A - i a l l , yellow-haired man!" he exclaimed, putting his finger in the center of his forehead as if in aid of memory; "I didn't know there were such in Reading. A tall, yellow—lot me see, now -" . "You sold him some tabloid of nitro-glycerine; perhaps that will help to his identification ?" said 1. "Ah, now I know you're wrong," said he; /'there's only one man within wide open, and dressed only, as I could see, in a loose dressing-gown and a pair of carpet slippers, he led the.horse to a stall that had the half of a roof; crying to the rriaid to get her down to the house of a man he named, there to beg a feed of corn and the loan of a boy. But while he was doing it, he shivered incessantly, and seemed eaten up with fear. "You/ appear to think that I'm luting up'with you," said h when I heard his orders; "there's na need to look after the nag— I shan't be here ten minutes" five miles of here who uses that stuff V '4ii«& tea__minutes!" he exclaimed, still with quavering voice, "Oh, but you will—when you've heard my talk. Would you see me murdered?" J did not answer, being In the main amused at his attempts to get the horse out of the trap, and particularly to unbuckle the very stiff belly-band. The girl had gone tripping off with herself to the village as I thought; but though at that time I had no intention of staying beyond an hour with him, I unebafted the animal myself, and tethered the beast to the rickety manger, throwing my own rug across his loins; then I followed Ladd through a black and smoke-washed kitchen to a dingy apartment near the hall, and, the place being shuttered, he kindled a common paraftln lamp, which might have cost a shilling but would have been dear at two. "I'll be getting the port," said he, casting a wistful glance at me hoping, perhaps, that I should decline his invitation to a glass, "you'll not mind refreshment after your drive?" "Thanks; you may be sure I won't," said I. When Ladd came back, he had a bottle in his hand. I smiled openly when I saw that it was a pint; but he decanted it with a fine' show of generosity, and pushing a glass to me, took up the matter which interested him at once. "Where did ye see my nephew?" he asked, while I sipped the wine with satisfaction; "it'll ^have been in London, perhaps?" "I saw him—if he was your nephew —at Pangbourne last night," said I; "he had a pretty woman with him, and wanted to sell me two emeralds." "That must have been the wife he married in San Francisco," cried he, "but she has no sinecure; you didn't hear that I paid his passage abroad last spring after he'd robbed me of a thousand Well and it was,emeralds he wanted to sell you?" ~ "Two of the finest I have ever seen," said I, "and matching perfectly." The import of the emeralds had evidently been lost upon him until this time; but now "of a sudden he realized that he might be concerned in the business, and his agitation was renewed. "I wonder what emeralds they were?" he asked as if of himself; then turning to me, he exclaimed, "Will you come upstairs with me a minute?" He did not wait for me to answer, but led the way up bare stone steps to a landing off which there led two passages; and in a big and not uncomfortable bedroom he showed me three safes, one a little one, which he opened, and took therefrom a case containing seven emeralds of a size and quality apparently similar to the two I had seen at Pangbourne. But when he gave them to me to f a m i n e I saw at once that five of them were genuine and two were false. "Well," said he, after I had looked at'them long and closely, "how do you lfke them?" "I like them enough," said I; "at least, I like five of them, but the other two are glass!" At this he cried, "Oh, my God!" and clutched the stones from me with the trembling fingers of a madman. When he had seen them for himself— being judge enough to follow me in my conclusions—he began to roar out oaths and complaints most pitifully, cursing his nephew as I have never heard a man cursed before or since. By and by he got. sufficient reason to tell me thatshe had the administration of some of his nephew's property, and that in his work he had first fallen foul of a man, headstrong, vindictive, by no means honest, and, in some moods, dangerous. Yet, even knowing his relative's character and the threats he had urged against him, he could not tell how the safe was broken, or by what means the emeralds had gone. He was not even aware that his nephew wras in England; and I had been the first to bring intelligence of his coming. I asked him, naturally, if these two stones represented the whole of his loss, and at that he fell off again to his raving, but took two keys of tfie larger safes from a secret drawer in the smaller as I could see; and began to pour upon the faded bed-cover a wealth of treasure which might have bought a' city. In the midst of this, strange scene, and while we were both held spellbound by the wondrous vision of wealth, a sudden exclamation drew the miser from his employment. It came from the girl who, had been sent to the village, she ndw standing in the doorway of the bedroom, and cry ing, "Oh, good Lord!" as she saw the glitter of the gems. But Ladd turned "upon her at the words, and grasped her by the wrists, crying out as he had cried when first he knew that he was robbed. "You hussy," he hissed, bending her by the arms backward almost to tho floor; "what do you watch me for? What do you mean by coming here? Where are- the emeralds you have stolen? Tell me, wench; do you hear? Tell me*, or I shall hurt you!" He held her In 6o firm a grasp that I feared she would suffocate, and went to pull him oTf; at which action he turned to cry out against^ me; but the anger had played upon him so that he fainted suddenly all across the bed, and amongst the jewels. The girl, whom he had forced upon the floor, now rose impudently, and said.— "Did ye ever see the like of him? —but I'll make him pay for it! Oh, you needn't look, he's that way often. He'll come to in a minute; but he won't find me in the house tomorrow —wages or no wages.'.' "Do what you like," I cried to her angrily, "but don't chatter. lHave you got any'brandy in the house?" "Brandy! and for him!" said she, for It? Not if I know it; brandy, I like that!" "Then leave the room" I exclaimed imperatively; and with that she went off, banging the door behind her, and I was alone with the man and his jewels. I think it was the strangest situation 1 have ever known. Some \ thousands of pounds' worth of gems lay scattered upon the coverlet, upon the sheets, and even upon the carpet. Ladd himself lay like the figure upon a tomh» white and motionless; there was only the light of a common paraffin lamp; and three parts of the room lay in darkness. My first thought was for the man's life, and remembering that I had a flask in my pocket, I forced brandy between his clenched teeth, and laid him flat upon his back. In a few moments there was a perceptible, though very quick beat of his pulse, and after that, When he had. taken more of the spirit, he opened his eyes, and endeavored to raise himself; but I forbade him roughly, and gathering up his gems I bundled them in the greater safe, and turned the key upon them. He however, watched me with glazing eyes, scarce being able, for lack of strength, to utter a word; but he motioned for me to give him. .the l^ey, and this he placed under the pillow of his bed, and fell presently into a gentle sleep, which was of good omen. I should mention that it was now full dark outside, and, as I Adjudged, about the hour of ten. I had got the man's jewels'into his safe for him, and he was sleeping; but where the bewitching little, hussy was I did not know; or what -was the value of the old man's fears about his nephew. It was clear to me, however, that he had been robbed, probably by the immediate agency of the girl who acted as his servant; and it was equally obvious that I had no alternative but to stay by him, even if prospect of probable business in the future had not moved me to do so. An inspection of his room by the flickering light of the lamp disclosed to me a small dressing-room leading from it, this containing a sofa ;and when I had quite assured myself that my patient, as I chose to regard him, slept easily, and that his pulse was nolonger intermittent nor faint, I took my boots off and lay down upon the hard horsehair antiquity which was to serve me for a bed. Strange to say, in half an hour I fell into a dreamless sleep, for I was heavy with fatigue, and had walked many hours upon the Kennett's bank; but when I awoke, the room was utterly dark, and the screams of a dying man rang in my ears. In moments of emergency one's individuality asserts itself in curious actions. I am somewhat stolid, and a poor subject for panics, • and I remember on this particular occasion, that my sfirst act. was to draw on my boots with deliberation, and even to turn in the tags carefully before I struck a match, and got a sight of the scene which I remember so well though many months have passed since its happen ing. When 1 had light, I found Ladd standing by the door of his safe, which was open, but there was a deep crimson stain upon his shirt, and /he no longer had the. voice to scream. In fact, he was dying then; and presently he fell prone with a deep gasp, and I knew that he was dead. In the same instant a black shadow, as of a man, passed between me and the flicker of the light; and as the match went, out the door of the chamber swung upon its hinges, and the assassin passed from the room. Now, Ladd had scarce fallen before T was in the dark passage, listening with great tension of the ear for a sound of the hiding man's footstep. But the place was as still as the grave; and then there came upon nv the horrid thought that the fellow lurked with me about the room's door, and presently would serve me as he had served the other. Cold wiih fear at the possibility, I struck a match, and advanced along the passage, using half a box of lucifers in the attempt. At the corner I came suddenly upon a cranny; and as the light died away, two gleaming eyes shot up glances to mine, and a man sprang out flashing a blade in the air, btit rushing past me, and fleeing like the wind towards the southern wing—the unfinished one. So swift did he go that I saw nothing of his face, and it seemed scarce a moment before I heard a door open, and another great cry, followed by a splashing of water and utter silence. This second cry took, I think, what little nerve I had left; and while the echo of it was stiU in the passages my last match went out. The place was now black with unbroken darkness; every step that I took appeared to reach mysterious stairs and to send me staggering; but at last a sudden patch of moonlight from a corner enc^-. raged me to go on, and I reached the spot where the man had disappeared. At that pofnt a door creaked and banged upon i,ts hinges, but the white light coming through it saved me from' the fate of him who had gone before. It showed me at a glance that the door was built in a side of the unfinished wall of the wing, and that tho man, who evidently had mistaken it for the entrance to the back staircase, which I saw a few feet farther on, had crashed down 50 feet into the moat below, carrying, as I supposed, his plunder in his hands. Then I knew the meaning of the gurgling cry and the horrid thud; and terror seemed to strike me to my very marrow. How I got out of the house I do not know to this day. Thrice 1 made a circuit of winding corridors only to find myself again before the room where L a d d V b o d y lay in the circle, arranglng her dress which he had o—f m. . .o™on„l.ight which the window fo- 0 . . . „ . . . v - , . ^ * , ^ torn. "Is it me that should be running I cused upon the safe; thrice I reached doors which seemed to give access t o the yard; but led only into gloomy shuttered chambers where curious shapes of the yellow rays came through the. dusty crevices. A t last, however, I reached the frowsy kitchen, and the yard, and stood a minute to breathe the chill night air, and to think what was to be done; whither first to go; to whom to appeal. The whine of a voice from the stable seemed to answer me. I entered the* roofless shanty, and there found the dark-eyed girl sitting upon a rotting garden roller, and quivering in every limb. She too was dressed ready to accompany the man who then lay i n the moat, I did not doubt; but at the first sight of me she started up with blanched face, and clinging to me she cried,—"Take me away, oh, my God, take me away from i t ! " and rather incoherently she muttered that she was innocent, and protested it in a score of phrases. I saw a flush of dawn-light upon her babyish face as she spoke, and it occurred to me when I was putting the horse to the dog-cart that she was unmistakably pretty, and that her customary occupation was not that of a housemaid. But I only said to her,— "Keep anything you have to say for the police. I am going to fetch them." And with that I drove off, and the last I saw of my lady showed her as she sat moaning on the strawy her hair tumbling down her shoulders, and her face buried in her hands. her rethe and The trial of this woman, and acquittal by the jury, are well membered in Caversham; nor is mystery of Jabez Ladd's jewels their disappearance by any means an infrequent topic for alehouses. What became of the precious stones which Arthur Vernon Ladd, the old man's nephew, took from the safe on the night he murdered his uncle, one man alone knows—and that is myself. The people of the town will tell you/that the moat wras dragged and d/ained with no results. I myself body of the murderer— coated man of Pangbourn though at least a couple pounds worth of jewels w from the safe, there was them about him, or to b the velvetbut althousand missing not one of found upon the concrete bottom of the moat into which he had dropped with the blood of Ladd fresh upon his hands. In vain the police searched the girl—her name was Rachel Peters, she said— and her boxes. j The jewels being undiscoverable, and Ladd having been murdered to my knowledge by his nephew, the girl, Rachel Peters, was, as I have said, discharged. She returned to the old house lor her boxes, and immediately disappeared from the knowledge of the county. Ten months later I saw her dancing on the stage of an opera house in Florida, and she was wearing five of the seven emeralds which Ladd had lost! The spectacle seemed so amazing to me that I sought her out between the acts, and found her aa full of chic and verve as a Parisian soubrette. Nor did she disguise anything from me, telling me everything over a cigarette with a relish and a sparkle which was astounding to see. "Yes," said she—but I give her story in plain words, for her way of tolling it is not to be written down— "I had known Vernon Ladd for years. T doubt if there was a worse man in Europe; but I was frightened of him, and I entered old Ladd's service at his wish tp help him to steal the jewels. We got at the emeralds first, because they were in the small safe; but we didn't know where the keys of The other safe were, and we put two sham emeralds in the case to keep the oh! boy quiet while we worked. That night you came to the house Vernon Ladd was already inside, concealed behind the old man's bed; and he watched you open the great safe and spread the jewels. The mischief of it was that Ladd woke up five minutes too soon, and caught the boy by tbe throat—you know what he got for that, for you saw it and you know how Vernon mistook the door, and went down in a hurry. Well, when you'd gone for the police, I ran round to the back of the house, and what should I see but the bag of jewels stuck on a ledge just under the landing window. He'd dropped them as he fell, and there they were lying so plain that one could have seen them a mile off. 1 just ran up and reached them with my arm, but when I was in the stable again, and thinking of hiding them, I heard you coming up the road, and I slipped the bag in the first thins handy—it was your own fishing creel. v "No, you never found them, did you? just because they were hanging up there plain for every one to see. When the judge discharged me at the court, I went again to tbe house to get my box, never thinking to see the stones; but you'd gone away without the creel, and it was the first thing I touched lying in the straw of the stable. You may be, -sure it didn't lie there long. I'd saved up enough t^oney for a passage *o the States, and when I got here I started as an actress, as I was before, and I sold the things, one by one. These emeralds are all that's left—and if you're a brick, you'll buy them." This was the story. She was a clever woman, and having been discharged on the accusation of robbing the dead miser Ladd, could n W be sent to her trial again. Her invitation for me to buy the emeralds was tempting. I had already purchased two* from the -unfcapftr lft<*rtof Pangbourne, who was marrled^to the velvet- coated Vernon Ladd, and4s now living in seclusion in Devonshire. The other five would have made the set of great value. Ladd had no heirs; it was altogether a nice ptftet X debated i t B a k e D a y C o m e s SYNOPSIS. The scene at tho opening of the story is laid tn the library of an old worn-out southern plantation, known as the Barony. Th«T p!ace Is tb be sold, and Its history and that of the owners, the <Quintards, is the subject of discussion by Jonathan Crenshaw, a business man, a stranger known as Bladen, and Bob Yancy, a farmer, when Hannibal Wayne Hazard, a mysterious child of the old southern, family, makes his appearance. Yancy tells how he adopted the boy. Nathaniel Ferris buys the Barony, but the Quintards deny any knowledge of the boy, Yancy to keep Hannibal. Captain Murrell, a friend of the -Quintards, appeals and asks questions about the Barony. Trouble at Scratch Hill, when Hannibal is kidnaped by Dave Blount, Captain Murrell's agent. Yancy overtakes Blount, gives him a thrashing and secures |he boy. Yancy appears before Squire Balaam, and is discharged with costs for the plaintiff. Betty Malroy, a friend of the Ferrlses, has an encounter with Captain Murrell, who forces his attentions on her, and is rescued by Bruce Carrlngton. Betty sets out for her Tennessee home. Carriginton takes the same stage. Yancy <and Hannibal disappear, with Murrell on their trail. As he recovered himself he was sure he. heard a door open and close, and threw himself prone on the ground, where the black shadow cast by the tavern hid him. At the same moment two dark figures came from about a corner of the building. He could just distinguish that they carried some heavy burden between them and that they staggered as they moved. They passed out of sight, and breathless and palsied, Hannibal crept that plied regularly between Washington and Georgetown, she had found the long board;platform beside the canal crowded With her itellow passengers. SuddenLy she became aware of a tall/familiar figure moving through the crowd. It was Bruce Carrlngton. At the same moment he saw her, and with a casual air that quite deceived her, approached. "You're leaving tonight?" he asked. "Yes—isn't it miserable the way it rains? And why are they so s l o w - about a corner of the tavern. He | why don't they hurry with that boat?" •• C H A P T E R VI. (Continued.) In the tavern the three men were drinking—Murrell with the Idea that the more Yancy came under the influence of Slosson's corn whisky the easier his speculation would be managed. Mr. Yancy on hia part believed that if Murrell went to bed reasonably^ drunk h,e would sleep late and ^lve him the opportunity he coveted, to quit the tavern unobserved at 'break of day. "When yo' get to feelln' like sleep, young boss, Mas'r Slosson he sayB 1 show yo' to yo' chamber." it was Slosson's boy Eph. "Yes, you can show me my cham- 'Jter," Hannibal said. Eph secured a tin candle-stick with a half-burnt candle in it and led the way Into the passage back of the bar. They mounted a flight of stairs and passed down a n a r r o W h a l l . This , brought them to the bSck of the building, and Eph pushed open the * door on his right. "This heah's yo' chamber," he said, and preceding his companion into the room, placed the candle on a chair. The moon was rising and Hannibal went to the open window and glanced <put. For a moment he considered the «lght, not unaffected by Its beauty, then, turning from the window, he moved his bundle and rifle to the i loot of the bed, where they would be \ out Ot his way, kicked off his trousers, blew out the candle and lay down. \ Yancy had become more and more ^convinced as tne evening passed that ^Murrell was bent-oif" getting him tijrunk, and, suspicion mounted darkly ip his brain. v t ' 4 H a y e a drink with rae!" cried Slos- *on, giving way to drunken laughter. "The captain's dropped out, and 1 'low it's about time fo' these here -festivities to come to an end. I'm thinking supine of going to bed myself," said Yancy. He kept his eyes fixed on Murrell. He realized that if the latter could prevent it he was .not to leave the har* He, never shifted his glance from Murrell's face. >SccWling now, the captain's eyes blazed back their challenge as he -"thrust his right hand under his coat. "Fair play—I don't know who you .are, but I know what you want!" said Yancy, the light in his frank gray ieyes deepening. Murrell laughed and took a forward step. At the same moment Slosson snatched up a heavy club from the back of the bar and dealt Yancy a murderous blow. A single startled cry escaped the Scratch Hiller; he struck out wildly •as he lurched toward * IjtfurreH,. who . drew hia knife and drove it into" his shoulder, tancy dropped heavily to the floor. How long the boy slept he never knew, but he awoke witb a start and a qonfused sense of things.

A chilling' terror that i?rfpped him fist an*d woulid not let nim go, mounted to his brain. Where was his Uncle Bob? Why didn't he come to bed? Memories ot Idle) tales of men foully dealt with in these lonely taverns flashed through hid mind. I He slid from the bed, and for a long moment stood cold and shaking, his every sense on the alert.

Presently he heard a distant sound —a splash—surely it was a splash— A lltUe later the men came up the lade, to disappear in the direction of the tavern. Hannibal peered after them. His very terrors, while they wrenched and tortured him, gave him adesperate kjnd ^of courage. As the gioojST hid the""Typo men, he started forward again. He reached the end of the cornfield, climbed a fence, and entered a deadening of timber. In the long wet grass he found where the men had dragged their burden. He reached down and swept his hand to and fro—once—twice—the third time his little palm came away red and discolored. There was the first pale premonition of dawn in the sky, and as he hurried on the light grew, and tho black trunks of trees detached themselves from the white mist that ijlled the woods and which the dawn made visible. There was light enough for him to see that he was following the trail left by the men. He emerged upon the bank of the Elk river, white like the woodB with its ghostly night sweat. The dull beat of the child's heart quickened a,s he gazed out on the swift current that was hurrying on with its dreadful secret. Then the full comprehension of his loss seemed to overwhelm him and he was utterly desolate. Sobs shook him, and he dropped on his knees, holding fast to the stock of his rifle. "Uncle Bob—Uncle Bob, come back! Can't you come back!" he wailed miserably. Presently he staggered to his feet. As he glanced about, ho saw almost at his feet a dug-out, made from a single poplar log. It was secured to an overhanging branch by a length of a wild grape-vine. With one last fearful look off across the deadening in the direction of the tavern, he crept down to the water's edge and entered the canoe. In a moment, he had it free from Its lashing and the rude craft was bumping along the bank in spite of his best efforts with the paddle. Then a favoring current caught It and swept it out toward the center of the stream. C H A P T E R VII. "It's in the last lock now," explained Carrlngton, and gathering up Betty's hand luggage, he helped her aboard. By the time they had reached Wheeling, Betty had quite parted with whatever superficial prejudice she might have had concerning river-men. /This particular ene was evidently a very nice river-man, an exception to his kind. He made choice of the steamer on which she should continue her Journey, and thoughtfully chose The Naiad—a slow boat. "I haven't a thing to offer her—this is plain madness of mine!" he kept telling himself, and then the expression of his face would become grim and determined. No more of the river for him—he'd get hold of some land and go to raising cotton; that was the way money was made. Slow as The Naiad was, the days passed much -too swiftly for him. When Memphis was reached t*heir friendly intercourse would come to an end. There would be her brother, of whom she had occasionally spoken— he would be pretty certain to have tho ideas of his class. The days, like any other days, dwindled. The end of it all was close at hand. Another twenty-four hours and Carrlngton reflected there would only be good-by to say. "We will reach New Madrid tonight," he told her. They were watching the river, under a liood of yellow moonlight. Carrlngton, with his back against a stanchion, watched her discontentedly. "You'll be mighty glad to have this over with, Miss Malroy—" he said at length, with a comprehensive sweep toward the river. "Yes—shan't you?" and she opened her eyes questlonlngly. "No," said Carrlngton with a short laugh, drawing a chair near hers and sitting down. Betty, in surprise, gave him a quick look, and then as quickly glanced away from what she encountered in his eyes. As she looked, suddenly pale points of light appeared on a distant headland. "Is that New Madrid—Oh, is it, Mr. Carrlngton?" she cried eagerly. "I reckon so," but ho did not alter his position. "But you're not looking!" "Yes, 1 am—I'm looking at you. 1 j reckon you'll think me- crazy, Miss On the River. Betty stood under a dripping urn brella in the midst of a downpour. Just arrived by the four-horse coach' Malroy—presumptuous and all^Jiat— but I wish Memphis could be wiped off the map, and that we could go on like this for ever!" "You mustn't talk so—I am nothing to you—" "Yes, you are. You're everything to me," said Carrlngton doggedly. "You shall love me—" She was powerless In his embrace. She felt his breath on her cheek, then he kissed her. Suddenly his arms fell at his side; his face was white. "I was a ^bruto to. do that—Betty, forgive me! I am sorry—no, I can't be sorry!" They,were.alongside the New Madrid wharf now, and a certain young man who had been impatiently watching The Naiad's lights ever since they became visible crossed the gang-plank with a bound. "Betty—why in the name of goodness did you ever choose this tub?" said the new-comer. "Charley!" Carrlngton stepped back. This must be the brother who had come up the river fjpm Memphis to meet her —but her mother's name was Tom! He looked this stranger—this Charley —over writh a hostile eye, offended by his good looks, his confident manner, in which he thought he detected an air of ownership, as If—certainly he was holding her hands longer than was necessary. An instant later, when Betty, remembering, turned to speak to him, his place by the rail was deserted. * « * * * • • * All that day Hannibal wa<s haunted by the memory of what he had heard and seen at Slosson's tavern. More than this, there was his terrible sense, of loss, and the grief he could not master. Marking the course of the road westward, he clung to the woods, .where his movements were as stealthy as the very shadows themselves. Presently, as he stumbled forward, he came to a small clearing In th< center of which stood a log dwelling. The place seemed deserted. Tilted back in a chair by the door of this house a man was sleeping. The hoot of an owl from a near-by oak roused him. He yawned and stretched himself, thrusting out his fat legs and extending his great arms. Then becoming aware of that path as he slept and now stood before him in the uncertain light, he fell to rubbing his eyes with the small figure which had stolen up the knuckles of his plump hands. "Who are you?" he demanded. "I'm Hannibal Wayne Hazard," said the boy. The man quitted his chair. "Well—I am glad to know you, Hannibal Wayne Hazard. 1 am Slocum Price—Judge Slocum Price, sometime major-general of militia and ex-member of congress, to mention a few of those honors my fellow countrymen have thrust upon me." He made a sweeping gesture with his two hands outspread and bowed ponderously. The boy saw a man of sixty, whose gross and battered visage told its own story. There was a sparse white frost about his ears; and his eyes, pale blue and prominent, looked^ut from under beetling brows. He wore a shabby plum-colored coat and tight, drab breeches. About his fat neck was a black stock, with, just a suggestion of soiled linen showing above it. His figure was corpulent and unwieldy. "You don't belong in these parts, do you?" asked the judge, when he had completed his scrutiny. "No, sir," answered the bo>y. He glanced off down the road, where lights were visible among tlxe trees. "What town is that?" "Pleasantvllle—wfcicfc is. a lier-but I am neither sufficiently drank nor sufficiently sober to cope* wrtb the possibilities your question offers. Have you so much as fifty cents about you?" and the Judge's eyes narrowed to a slit above their folds of puffy flesh. Hannibal, keeping his glance fixed on the man's face, fell back a step. "I can/t let you go If you are penniless—I can't do that?" cried the judge, with sudden vehemence. "You jshall be my guest for the night. They're a pack of thieves at the tav-' era," he lowered his voice. "1 know 'em, for they're plucked me!" He \ rested a fat hand on the bof's shoulder and drew him gently but firmly into the shanty. With flint and steel he made a light, and presently a candle was sputtering tn his hands. He fitted it into the neck of a tan bottle, and as the light flared up tho boy glanced about him. The> interior was mean enough, f with its rough walls, dirt floor and black, cavernous fireplace. A shakedown bed in one corner of the room was tastefully screened from the public gate by a tattered quilt.

E v e r N o t i c e A F i e l d o f I n d i a n C o r n in--the glory of its growing? 1 r The best part of selected pearly white Indian Corn is used in making , ' The Roosevelt delegates' and alternates met at Orchestra hall, Cnicago, and nominated Theodore Roosevelt, for president of the United States.. At the same time they declared that they represented the majority of the delegates and alternates "legally elected to the Republican convention." There, was tremendous enthusiasm when Col. Roosevelt's name was placed in nomination. Col. Roosevelt, who came into the hall after the nominating * resolution was adopted, thanked them for tne nomination, said that he recognizea them as lawfully elected delegates representing an overwhelming majority of the voters at the primaries, but said he would accept the nomination subject to the formation and approval of a new party. He told them to go into convention to nominate for the presidency a progressive candidate of their people and then meet in mass on a progressive platform. "Carry Out Will of Voters." Following is the last of the nominating resolutions: "We, delegates and alternates to the Republican national convention, representing a clear majority of fhe delegates and alternates legally elected to the convention, in meeting assembled, make the following declaration: •% |i "We^were e^ctedVbyJ a majority of the. Republican, votfo Of our respective? districts and states to nominate Theodore Roosevelt in the Republican national convention as the candidate of our party for president and thereby carry out the will of the voters as expressed at the primaries. We have earnestly and conscientiously striven to execute the commission entrusted to us by the party voters. "For five da£s we have been denied justice in the national convention. The result has been accomplished by the action of the now defunct national committee in placing upon the preliminary roll of the convention and thereby seating upon the floor of this convention a sufficient number of fraudulently elected delegates to control ^ the proceedings of the conven tibri.s These fraudulent delegates once seated have by concerted action with one another put themselves upon the permanent roll, where they constitute an influence sufficient to control the convention and dsfeat the will of the party as expressed at the primaries. "We haVP- exhausted' every known means to hold off this conspiracy, and to prevent this fraud upon the popular will, but without success. We were sent to this convention bearing the most specific instructions to place Theodore Roosevelt in nomination as the candidate of our party for president, and we, therefore, deem it to be our duty to carry out those instructions in the only practically and feasible way remaining open to us. "Therefore, be it resolved that we representing the majority of the votes of the Republican party, and of the delegates and alternates legally elected to the national Republican convention, in compliance without instructions from the party voters, hereby nominate Theorore Roosevelt as .the candidate of our party for the, office of president of the United States, and we call upon him to accept such nomination in compliance with the will of the party voters. "And, be it further resolved, that a committee be appointed by the chair to forthwith notify Colonel Roosevelt of the action here taken and rer>vest %\m to appear before us in this hall as soon as convenient." Roosevelt Accepts. * Col. Roosevelt, in replying to, the nomination, spoke as follows: Gentlemen: I thank "you for your nomination, and in you I recognize the lawfully elected delegates to the Republican convention who represent the ovewhelming majority of the voters who took part in the Republican primaries prior to the convention, and who represent the wish of the majority of the lawfully elected members of the convention. I accept tisc1 nomination subject to but one condition. "This has now 'become a contest which cannot be settled merely along the old party lines. The principles that are at stake are as broad and as deep as the foundations of our democracy itself. They are in no sense sectional. They should appeal to all honest citizens, east and west, north and south; they should appeal to all right thinking men, whether Republicans or Democrats, without regard to their previous party affiliations. . "I feel that the time has.come when not. only all men who believe in progressive, principles, but all men who believe in those elementary maxims of public and private morality which must underlie every form of sutvsssful free government should join in. one movement, Therefore, I ask you to go to your several homes to find out the sentiment of the people at' home and then again come together, I suggest by mass convention, to nominate for tlje presidency a progressive candidate on a progressive platform, a candidate and a platform that will enable us to appeal to northerner and southerner, easterner and westerner. Republican and Democrat alike, in the name of our common American citizenship. "If you wish me to make the run for president of the United States I will make it, even if only one state should support me. The only condition I impose is that you shall feel entirely free when you come together to substitute any other man in my place if you deem it better for the movement, and in such case I will give him my heartiest support." New T. R. Party Is Launched. Chicago, June 23.- -The Roosevelt third party men who have remained here to discuss the organization of their movement with Col. Roosevelt got to work early this morning. Gov. Hiram Johnson, of .California, who, for the present at least is the colonel's chief lieutenant, was empowered by a mass meeting Of delegates and others to appoint a committee of seven, which is to confer with Col. Roosevelt and prepare a plan and platform to be presented to the bolters' convention. No definite announcement of the plan was made today and the date of the convention is still to be decided. It was rumored that it might be held here in Chicago on Aug. 3 and also that an atfefmpt might be made to call the Roosevelt progressives together at Asbury Park, In general, the plan seems to be to utilize the Roosevelt machine in states that tbe colonel carried at the primaries and in other states to present a complete progressive ticket. In New York, for instance, if the plans talked for are carried out, there will be progressive candidates for governor, congress and other elective offices that may be open when the eontest begins, !ll!i,i!f5«»L,T»»nn»»ittMiuniiiilniii,i,il,,ii»o,1 ; ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.

BURNING ITCH WAS CURED The Democratic national platform builders promise to present to the convention in Baltimore this week a document that shall be short and incisive.

J o h n A l l e n C a i w e i l John Allen Cad well, son of Allen and Bath Cadwell, was born ia the town of Waterloo, Michigan, Oct. 13 1850 and en* tared into rest June 23. 1912. He was married in 1870 to Elvinia Wolfer of Waterloo, who has always been a loving, faithful helpmate. To this union were born two sons, Will H . of Stillwater, Minn, and fiael T. who with their mother are left to mourn the loss of a kind, loving father and husband. Mr. Cadwell became a resident of Pinckney in the year 1878, soon entering into partnership with John J . Teeple in the hardware business, which partnership continued for 25 years, mutually pleasant and profitable. This was followed by a partnership of 5 years in the mercantile business with Floyd G . Jackson.' Feeling the need of rest he was impelled to withdraw from business life. During the past two years most oft their time has been spent in Ann Arbor with their son, Buel, a student at the University. With this labor of love completed he was looking eagerly forward to the return home where his many friends gladly awaited to welcome his coming. In 1879 he gave his heart to the Savior and united with the Cong'l church since which time he has been an earnest, consistent, efficient member whose presence will be greasy missed and whose influence will continue to live and be a blessing to the citizens of his loved village. Kind, sympathetic and* devoted to his friends and associates it can truthfully be said "To know him was to love him." He has gone to dwell in the secret place of the most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. The funeral c^rrices were held from the iatejhome here*Wednesday at 2 p. m.

Startling Silo Sensation: New Saginaw Feature Anchoring the base of stave silos as the giant roots anchor for centuries the great oak—the final step in making complete the stave silo. 1 Eventually all silo users will recognize the i&qt tbat the stave silo keeps silage perfectly; *m to ov^t^orne the last objection, Ihe fear of the «t&¥o silo blowing down, and to make an even better and stronger silo, we have been eagerly searching for new ideas. Many i u f years ago we developed the Saginaw Al* 1 ~ Steel Door Frame* adding convenience, I* solidity and great strength to the entire I structure* I ^ T f f e same enterprise, together with keen fore- L-sight, developed in 1911, the CO 4 Saginaw Inner Anchoring Hoop Licensed under lone of the great successes in modern silo construction.

This invention will be known to tho world as T h e S a g i n a w B a s e A n c h o r Like all important Silo improvements you get the Base Anchor only in the Saginaw. We will be glad to tell you more about this wonderful improvement. * . We have a new book showing dozens of interesting views of our four lar£e plants.

After one fruitless ballot, following an all-night session, the aeinocratu national convention at 7:10 o'clock Friday morning-adjourned until. 4. 0 CJOCK Friday afternoon, when the, great struggle lor the presidential nomination wiU be reiumed. In the first ballot there was neither sign nor token of wnat would be the last chapter of the story. Votes' were cast for eight men. me total columns showed under the several candidates these figures: Clark, 4 4 0 ½ ; Wilson, :J24; Underwood, 1 1 7 ½ ; Harmon, 148; Marshall, 31; Baldwin, 22; Bryan-, 1; Sulze«r, 2; absent, 1; not voting, 1. The net result of the balloting was that all of the elements of the convention were left intact and unbroken in srengh. f Chief among the unbroken quantities that were in part solved* by the early morning vote was the uninstructed list. The list originally containing 1&4 voies had been reduced to 178 by the dropping of the-Philippines from the total, which same operation in political mathematics changed the total vote of the convention to 1,058 and made the number essential to a nomination 725½ by the two-thirds majority rule of the convention. A two-hour and thirty-minute oratorical and parliamentary war was waged by the Democratic national convention Friday night and out cf the fight emerged Wm. Jennings Bryan of Nebraska a thrice-laureled victor, reaffirmed leader of his party and. most pronounced radical against "predatory wealth" among big political leaders of the day. At 8:15, just after Chairman OIlie James had called the night session together, ho secured unanimous consent to the presentation of a resolution by Col. Bryan. Nothing like it was ever ottered to a convention before. It "resolved" the party free from the control of predatory wealth and asked two rich delegates—Thomas F. Ryan of Virginia and August Belmon^of New York—be ousted from the convention. , y Because some declared the convention had no right to go behind a sovereign state in the dictation of who should or should not be delegates, Col. Bryan withdrew the ousting part of the resolution and the remainder carried hysterically by a vote of 888 yeas, 196 noes, with two not voting and one absent. Bryan gave way under pressure *f his friends, not from weakness, in modifying his resolution. The convention would never have beaten him' even on the full text of his proposal, , - Bryan was sure of his ground. He would hav3 commanded well a^'ove a majority had he persisted in his demand that Belmont be thrown out of the New York delegation and Ryan bd expelled from the Virginia delegation. Although two-thirds were;requires to pass, the resolution uncjer the point of order, the support of more than-'a majority would have been a moral victory for Bryan and would have disrupted '(he^convention then and there. It was the most intense crisis in the memory of Democrats present. When Bryan stepped back ^from presentation of his resolutton, Can* gre8sman Frank B. Doremus, of Detroit sitting^irectly behind the Nebraskan, declared H was the most tense moment of the entire.career o f the.party* Congressman.J. Fred C. Talbott, of Maryland, veteran member of the Democratic national committee, rose and wrung his hand, while tears streamed down his face. He staggered over to Bryan, threw his arms about the Nebraskan's neck and cried. "Every,man*present wants to win, but you! but you! but you!" Congressman'Henry of Texas. Bryan's right-hand man in congress, and Bryan s mouthpiece in the onslaught upon the money trust and the fight on Belmont, Ryan and Morgan, begged him not to force the issue to th« limit When victory was just in sight. TJ. S. Senator-elect Vardaman, of Mississippi, a life-long friend of Bryan's, besought him to have a care and pleaded with him to yield—to be content with less than his whole demand. And it was this counsel of his friends, not the battering of the opposition, nor the fear of defeat that moved the Nebraskan. ^or once in his life he gave way—he compromised—he permitted expediency to sway him from his extreme demands. \ 1 That the convention Remained intact is because the (-commoner compromised.

Some ghosts are obtrusive and not only prowl about the. house, but creep in through the crack of the door in the wee small hours of the night, and, once inside, expand, to vast proportions. To spare yourself any disturbance in this way, sow mustard seed all about the doorstep just before going to bed; or place a sieve on the doorstep. Before entering, the -spirit will have to count all the holes in the sieve or all the mustard seeds, and by this time daylight will come and he will have to go.

In the presence of perhaps 500 men, all of them recognized leaders of the movement, and many more onlookers, the first formal step was taken. Gov. Hiram Johnson of California was empowered to appoint a committee of seven members to confer with Col. Roosevelt and formulate a plan of action. "Here is the birth of a new party," said Gov.

These leaders, however, said that as to the men who. took a cdnspicuous part in the campaign for Colt Roosevelt's nomination, each must sneak for himself. "Mug" la Overworked Word. The most overworked word in the Englishman's vocabulary of slang i s "Mug." As a noun it may mean a face, a fool, or a student who prefers reading to sport. As a verb its meanings are still more varied. It may mean to study hard, or to strike in-the face. It also means to rob or swindle, and among actors to grimace or make faces. To mug up is also, in theatrical parlance, to make up. Finally, to mug one's self is to get drunk, the resulting condition being one of mugginess. There is more obvious sense in this last use of the word than in some of the others, tot alehouses, in the eighteenth century, were commonly known as mughouses. Mug is the English equivalent of the German Zug, which Mark Twain found to mean everything. A new sense of the verb "mug" in the American slang is to photograph a face. Increase Rate, at Lapeer Home.

Excellent Floor Coverings May Be Purchased *et Moderate Prices— Linoleum for the Kitchen and Bathroom Is Important It ought not to be necessary to point out wherein rugs have the advantage oyer carpets. Tacked down floor coverings are no longer countenanced by thoughtful people. "But," somebody may object, "the cost of replacing carpets by rugs Is too expensive an item to consider." Perhaps so, if attempted all at once, but If brought about gradually it will not seem a heavy burden. There are substitutes for the more costly rugs for sale at moderate prices. The washable cotton rugs for use i n the bathrooms or even bedrooms will appeal to the woman of modest means. While combining practicability and cheapness, they are attractive at the same time. The so-called "grass" coverings should not be overlooked' in tjiis matter of desirable floor furnishings. Nearly all the department stores carry them, and the larger firms have a mail order department always * at the ready service of the out-of-town customer. Again, handsome and durable rugs may be made of odds and ends of old carpets. This work can be placed in the hands of certain manufacturers who make a specialty of it, or the weaving can be done at home. Just a word in regard to one objection brought against rugs of light weight—namely, their tendency to curl up around the edges. To counteract this difficulty there are rug fasteners — compact little devices consisting of flat-headed pins to be nailed to the floor, with coresponding metal hooks which are slipped over them after being attached to the rug. The subject of kitchen and bathroom linoleums is an important one. Get as good a quality as your purse .will allow; it will pay in the end. Tqe inlaid variety in which the pattern remains intact as long as there is anything left of the linoleum itself, will give far better service than the printed kind, which looks well only as long as the surface remains in fair condition. As a good preservative, two coats of goad floor Tarnish may be given the linoleum. SHOE POCKET FOR BEDROOM Convenient Article That Takes Up Little Space, and May Be Called an Ornament. In the accompanying sketch may be Been a dainty little shoe pocket tor hanging upon the wall at some convenient spot In the bedroom. It is shield shaped, and for the foundation a piece of stiff cardboard should be cut out in the shape shown in the diagram at the top of the sketch, and covered on both sides with some -pretty remnant of silk. ~ " Across the lower half a double pocket IS arranged, sewn do^n the center and bound at the edge with narrow ribbon and into which the shoes may be slipped In the manner illustrated. The pocket is further—ornamented with three smart little ribbon bows and edged all round with a cord of fancy pattern. On either side at the top-small rings are sewn on by which the pocket may be suspended from nails in the wall. To a certain extent the colors of the materials selected should depend upon the color of the wall on which the pocket 13 designed to hang, but pale pink silk and white ribbon and pink and white cord would make a very pretty little article, or pale green silk with pale pink ribbon ahd a pale green and pink card would be equally delicate and effective. Elbow Gloves in Favor. ? On the best authority it is said that in the wholesale houses not only in America, but in France and England as well, there has been this season a bigger demand for elbow length silk gloves than there, has been for at least five years. At "the same time'' the manufacturers at* home and abroad have scarcely been able to supply the demand for long gloves- of glace kid. These are facts that certainly contradict the rumor that we are going to wear long sleeves, and while there can be no doubt that many of the smartest houses are making longsleeved models, it seems certain that they will have to wait at least until autumn to find them taken up with anything like enthusiasm.

Variety In Hats. Hats are still claiming much attention, the black straws edged with white, or with white crowns among the most expensive of them. Hemp hats and chips are more costly than the Neapolitan straws, and black is the. popular tone. Large hats are favorites, but small ones are so useful they cannot be displaced. Pink hemp Jiats, also black hemp combined with deep rose color are good sellers. These may be trimmed with pink roses o r . w i t h blue forget-me-nots and black velvet ribbon in streamers and loops. Among millinery novelties is a bandbox for the baby's hats, daintily painted in pink or blue on white cardboard. This suit is of black Sicilian edged; with ^magpie silk, Tho daisies, i n the stockings are culled by the fair wearer from the fields as she passes to the bathing beach, giving it a sort of striking effect. This suit is both for fresh and salt water wear. Here and There. For practical- wear navy blue is much in favor. Odd colors are especially popular just now in millinery.

Screened, Porches Will Help Much to Get Away From the 111 Effects of the Heat—Open A i r Sleeping Plaeee the Best. Most of the advantages of camping out may be enjoyed at home by those who live in houses with grounds about them. When the family owns a tent it may be pitched in the yard early i n the summer and the children may be allowed to sleep there whenever they wish, weather permitting. The bedding should be brought in whenever it rains, and kept well aired. A n old bed spring and a mattress or old cots provide satisfactory sleeping accommodations. Dark outing flannel pajamas are the best sleeping garments for camping out, and they should be provided for a l l the children regardless of sex. The next Btep Is the screening of the back er side porch. A n ordinary kitchen table should be moved out there and there the family may eat their meals i n comfort in hot weather. They may even spend the evening there in comfort. In the morning the mother may do most of her housework there. It is possible to wash there a«d even iron with the aid of an alcohol Btove, which costs a quarter and which is now part of every camping outfit. The stove must Ue carefully used, but it accommodates a single iron with safety^and conven!ence. The same little stove will make it possible to let the range fire go out early in the afternoon and stay out. It is quite possible to cook the single hot dish which is enough for the summer supper on the stove. .Toast may be made before the fire goes out and then warmed on the place which covers the dish in which milk, tomatoes or creamed meat is being warmed to spread over it. Breakfast may be. simplified to coffee or milk for t^e children, cereal toast or rolls. The up-to-date camping party takes along a tireless cooker to supplement the camp Are a,nd alcohol stove, and this the housekeeper should never be without. It will make it possible to do the afternoon cooking without the range, even when a fujl meal is to be served, for the water for tea or coffee may be prepared on the alcohol stove. The mother should spend every moment she can out of doors. It is easy to keep a rocking chair on the screened porch and shell the peas aud peel the potatoes there, and the baby will be safe there all of the time provided the door is fastened. As a matter of fact, he should take his nap out there all the year round except In rainy or very cold weather. The sewing machine may be wheeled out for afternoon use, and hand sewing should also be done in the open air. There Is no partteular virtue In the camping tent. The outdoor air is quite as accessible at home as In the woods. The screened-in porch may be a blessing, not only by day, but also by night. Its roof, if slanting, may easily be built up level and provided with a board or canvas roof. It should then be screened In like the lower story. The advantage of such an outdoor sleeping place for a delicate child or older person mteht be very great. Stewed Rhubarb With Lemon. Choose tender stalks of rhubarb, trim and remove any tough portions of skin. Do not scrape away the delicate red, as it adds to the appearance of the finished dish. Cut the stalks into pieces an inch long, cover witk a couple of slices of lemon. Add sugar to taste, heat to the boiling point and chill before serving. Some prefer to add a few seeded raisins with the slices of lemon, and for those who like this fruit the combination can be recommended. Rhubarb is really a spring medicine and is invaluable at this seasomof the year. To Clean Wringer Rollers. To clean the rubber rollers of your wringer, which have become Boiled or stained so that they cannot be used, rub them, well, or scrub them with a little stiff hand-brush* using coal-oil in plenty. This will loosen, all the dark marks and will take ott the most of the coloring matter which the rubber absorbed from the ff/ed material. Later a good wash in hot soapsuds would restore the wringer, for further tise^or the finest white clothing lo the wash. Sugar Dish. A pretty dish of beaten silver is made to hold the French or domino sugar; this is quite a delight, and a contrast to the sugar bowl; the dish itself is made longr and flat with two tiny handles, tray fashion, and the sugar fills it in two compact rows, each piece standing on its side edge in daintiest and most attractive manner. Danish Hot Cakes. Mix at night a quart of buttermilk and flour enough to make a/thin batter, a little salt In the ^morning a coTFple of eggs beaten well; add a tea* spoon of baking soda, Mix the soda in a little lukewarm water. Stir In the batter and fry your, paacaket. Hubby will want them every <morn« ing. How to Merttf Granttewar*. Hold your pan over the fire and torn in a little shellac L e t i t cook on hard.

OSK1SON AS * " T H E N E ^ T person y o u meet to tell you why you ought to save money. Y Q U w i l l be likely to hear some such answer as, " W h y , I don't exactly know—I suppose to provide for the future/* I n a sense the answer w i l l be sound. B u t only i n a general sense. More important is the duty to save i n order to make the woi#k of today lighter and more profitable. There is a good old expression, "making a start," which seems to be falling into disuse. I t ought not. Behind i t lies one explanation of j£merican enterprise and success. I t implied that every young fellow was expected, when he turned twenty-one and began to consider marriage, to branch out from the old folks and make a start* i n life for himself. I t might mean buying a farm, a store, a shop, setting up as a doctor, dentist, lawyer, surveyor. Usually i t meant that the old man would help the young man to make that start for himself. One reason why the expression is disappearing is that parents are becoming less and less able to supply their sons with the money and credit needed to make that start on a business or professional career. L i v i n g cost, population increase and actual lessening of opportunities are the explanations. The start calls for money or credit—more than ever. ' 4 Save money, then> to ease the present as well as to cushion the future*^ Save money to keep the boy i n school, to send him to college, to give h i m I the start i n life which you think he ought to have. Save money to buy yourself a comfortable house i n a yard somewhere among the flowers and trees. fSave for buying the good, nourishing food you and yours need i f you are to continue cheerful and efficient. Save money, not merely as a spur to ambition, but as a very real step i n realizing that ambition. Why save money? T h i n k i t over. M a n C a r v e s O u t H i s O w n D e s t i n y B y F r a n k Crane) Doing clears the mind. Physical activity has a peculiar luminous effect upon the judgment. T b e soundest views of life come not from the pulpit or the professional chair but from the workshop. To saw the plank or nail down a shingle, to lay a stone square or paint aTlause^fvenly, to run a locomotive or raise a good crop of corn, somehow reacts upon the intelligence, reaching the very inward essential cell of wisdom; provided always the worker is brave, not afraid of his own conclusions, and does not hand his thinking over to sonw guesser with a large bluff. Doing makes religion. A l l the religion that is of any account is what we thrash out with our own hands, snffer out with our own hearts and find out with our own visions. Doing creates faith. Doub£ comes from Sundays and other idle hours. The only people who believe the ten commandments are those who do them. Those who believe the world is growing better are they that are trying to make i t grow better. Doing brings joy. The sweetest of joys is the joy of accomplishment. Make love and you will feel love. Quit making love and you w i l l doubt love. Be kind, steadily and persistently, and you will believe ^ k i n d n e s s . Be unclean and you wiU soon sneer at anybody's claim to virtue. So a man has his own destiny, his own creed, his own internal peace, his own nobility i n his hands—literally i n his hands. F o r all the worthwhile wisdom or goodness you have i n your head and heart was soaked u p from your hands. ^ti <. & . l ' . l . ; t til Mm.mif'wssL S e v e r a l " D o n ' t s " i n F i g h t i n g F l i e s tty W . D . D i g g e r s . D e t r o i t . M i c h , T h a t "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" is a well-received axiom. Both cleanliness and godliness are virtues to be desired. "Cleanliness" according to this truism comes first, and next comes Godliness, but with cleanliness comes relief from flies and the long train of evils which result from the activities of the fly. " A n ounce of prevtntion is worth a pound of cure." T h i s is the time to use all means for the prevention of the spread of flies. Begin early and then keep everlastingly at it. T h e vigilant fly w i l l use everj opportunity that he gets, remember that. Here are several "don'ts" that w i l l aid you i n fighting the fly: Don't dine at a hotel, boarding house or restaurant where flies are tolerated. Don't allow the flies i n your house. Don't permit them near your food, especially milk. Don't buy food where flies are permitted. Don't aljow them i n a sickroom. Don't let them crawl over the baby or the nipple of i t ^ u u r s i n g bottle. Screen every window an<| door of your house and ketp the screens on t i l l you stari up your furnace. Have separate screen covers for food whicji 'must be exposed i n pantry and kitchen. Let Cleanliness, and Cleanliness, apd yet more Cleanliness be your motto all summer long. Let me say, after eighteen years of experience, that life has no other happiness as great as that which is attained i n the married state. Although my husband died after ten years of illness, I always felt that I had a husband's love and protection. We a l l long for companionship, more so in toiddle life than earlier. A n d there's no place like one's own fire* •side* where husband and wifejean look out .for each other's comfort. EW YORK.—The exterior of a rich man's home is a pretty fair index generally to his tastes and his character. If it is a city house, the passerby, looking at it from the street, usually can make a shrewd guess as to the sort of man who caused it to be built. The architect constructs the house around hiB patron's ideas. Nowhere else do the bomeB of multi-millionaires reflect their owners' individualities as they do in New York. This is especially the case in the new residence that John D. Rockefeller, Jrl, is having built Ih West Fifty-fourth street. Every one knows that John D., Jr., has so much money jUe could turn a whole city block into a garden as a setting for his mansion, if he wished, and do it without worrying about the cost. Charlee M. Schwab did something like that, but his house on Riverside drive stands unoccupied fr6m one year's ena" to another, Schwab built his palace, it, is said, with the idea of making a splash in society. Young Mr. Rockefeller and his wife care as little for society SB they do for show, and that is not at all. They have four children, however, the youngest about two years old, and tley wanted a bigger house than the one they have been living in at No. 13 West Fifty-fourth street. So they planned tbe one that is nearing completion. It is just opposite, at No. 10 of the same street, and just west of John D„ Sr.'s, home. It is without doubt the biggest private residence in New York, and one of the plainest of the homes of millionaires. Inside and out it is severe in its simplicity, but there are few mansions in America that can approach it in comfort, though more than one along Fifth avenue and the side streets may surpass it in cost. By experts in such matters it ia considered the most perfect structure for a home that modern Ingenuity haB devised. It Unique in Height. Other mansions—such as the Vanderbilt house, between Fifty-seventh and Fifty-eighth street, on Fifth avenue— cover more ground, but they are less than half In height. The new Rockefeller house is 40 feet wide and 109 feet deep. It Is nine stories, or affout 100 feet in height.. Yet it looks neither like an apartment hotel nor a fashionable club, although with a little remodeling it would fit either purpose. Between the four-story red brick and brownstone vine^clad mansion of John D., Sr., and the xfew house of his son there is a sweep of lawn, with flowerbeds and trees that is big for that J?art of New York, although it covers not more than three city lots. To tbe east of the older Rockefeller house are more grass and trees, a strip ot about 60 feet in width. There is even a summer house half hidden by trees and foliage. If a man who had seen John D. Sr., once and was told to walk through Fifty-fourth street from end to end and point out his house, he could not faU to pick the right one. Like fts owner, It seems to be i n serene enjoyment of a green old age. It is the Same kind of a houBe that Mr. Rockefeller would have built had -he made a moderate fortune and set* model, no doubt, i t 1# satisfactory to 'JJMt^X^^jff.mma, are not nearly sol-to 0 W W f » ••4 wouli.not have it 1 changed for anything. Probably 30 or 40 years from now young John D's, -'^^tf^V;><''>A necessary in a husband as the ability to r one's self aty&nlf person, able to share any burden that may fall. 1 1 ^ ^ 1 * ¾ J $ $ x * * n y .earn and nve enough for . protir be- ^1^¾}¾ all will £o welt : the plumbing and heating In i t may ing over the edge of its roof,^fc*ls in residential architecture what the 1913 model is in automobiles, .the last word for the present. Roof Garden a Feature. Its walls are of Indiana limestone, which is considered as enduring, as marble, but rather less expensive and capable of more artistic treatment architecturally. Counting the Stories from the street outside the careless eye is likely to number but eight, but the ninth is under" the mansardlike slope of the roof, which makes what otherwise would be the attic the ninth story. Here, at the top of the house, overlooking all the other Buildings in tbe^ neightyirhopd, and secluded from the view of all except those in distant skyscrapers, is a sort of roof garden. In summer it will be a real sylvan retreat, far above the noise of the city. There will be a big, vine^clad pergola, grass and shrubB.' In one corner will be a sand pile for tho children to play in. Opening off of this are, several rooms that can be used for open air sleeping apartments in summer or winter. The Rockefellers are great believers in fresh air and plenty of it, even in their offices. There is plenty of room to pitch a tent or to make a children's playground down on the lawn, but that would attract so much attention that the Rockefeller yard then would be one of the most photographed spots in the United States and every sightseeing bus would advertise it among the attractions of the city. Away up on the roof, however, there is nearly the space of two city lots. There are no shade trees—although no doubt that could be arranged also, if de-/ Bired—but the roof as it is designed gives absolute privacy, which is the thing the very rich are willing to pay tbe highest prices for. Fine Squash Court Provided. The ninth floor, large as it is, has no room for tennis or other athletic exercises, but on the floor below there is one of the finest squash courts in America. For the benefit of those persons who do not know What the game of squash is, it may be explained that it consists in standing some distance from a wall and batting a ball against it with a racquet. When the ball bounds back it is caught by the other player of the two-handed game, and is batted against the wall again. It is splendid exercise, and, as a game, simplicity itself. On the same floor there is a large gymnasium, fitted with every apparatus for children, as well as grown-ups. A l l through this great house, it will be noticed, the dominant idea is for comfort and healthy development of the children. Off the gymnasium are several shower baths. On the same floor fa an in* firmary Buite, so that if any of the children or any one else falls 111 they can be isolated there if necessary. A t any rate, the infirmary suite is a miniature hospital of the most modern sort. Every scientific device for cleanliness and comfort has been incorporated in i t Noise may be excluded, and the air that enters will be filtered. On the sixth and seventh floors are the servants' quarters. Generally, even1 tied i n TJtuBvUle or Oil ^Clty. Though in rich men's houses, the servants sleep up in tbe attie or down i n the not be of this, or even of last year's, »basement in tiny, stuffy rooms. The house will have taken on the time-mellowed appearance, hut today, with the last of the derricks still peep- Rockefeller servants will he better •lodged in this new house than they would he if they were gtmti at some fashionable hotel at $6 a day. The Rockefeller staff of servants, In both houses, is the o1d*foaMonod. domestio hind that keep their places year after y e a r ^ S ^ grow old. On^ the .fifth floor KJW* the guest suites. They are S W C I O U B . I J W ^ t o r p l e ~ r o o m j £ There ^TO be j£jree: of them on this floor, each of course with its bath and dressing room. Whej* it is considered that the total floor area of the average six-room apartment- is about 1,200 r.quare f e c t that the area of one floor In IJils big Rockefeller house' Is about 4,000 MuareUiat, it.. JjLSflfc to M^M idea of how large the room* are there are but three to the floor. E r r l f r * F l o o r f o r C h i l d r e n . ;^The children's rooms are on the floor below. TWs entire floor is "their house." Here they will eat and sleep and play; and study. No one will'bother them and they will bother no one. There are four children, BabetfcQ, who Is now nine years old; John D., 3d, aged six; Nelson Aldrich, aged four (named after his grandfather, the senator from Rhode Island), and a baby son who was born in 1910..,. On the third floor are Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller's rooms and the library— three rooms in all. On the second floor are the drawing room, the music room* and the dining room. The ground floor is taken up by the main hall, the reception room and the lowar sweep of the grand Btaircase. This stairway, which as it rises becomes a spiral, is of Caen stone^ It goes to the top of the house, but; of course, is smaller the higher it ascends. There are two elevators, one for the servants and for freight and the other for the rest of the household. In the basement are the kitchens, and in the subbasement is the plant of machinery for heating, water circulation, etc. A l l in a l l the house is aS completely equipped with every possible device for comfort as the most modern and expensive apartment hotel. The interior walls are as plain as those out- Bide. The only decorations are in the molding of the plaster, and these are as simple, yet as beautiful as their simplicity, as the rest of the structure. Everything is severely -pram, but in a way that is extremely expensive. House Built to Last. That young John D. has planned to make thic his home as long as he lives and later the home for his children and their children as well, is evidenced in many ways. The house is built as strongly as steel and stone can be combined, and should last for centuries. So that undesirable neighbors will not encroach, John D., Jr., recently has bought the properties at 13, 19 and 30 West Fifty-third street, in the rear of his new house. He has torn down two of the houses at Fiftythird street so as to give his own house a southern exposure, and will have the grounds laid out in gardens in connection with those that are about his house and that of his father. It is said he probably will continue purchasing property in the neighborhood, so that in time he absolutely will control, by ownership, the block where he lives and the block that his house faces. Though this will require a good deal of money-Mand there is worth $4,000 or $5,000 a front foot, or whatever one cares to pay—the investment is not likely to prove a losing one, for where the Rockefellers live Is one of the creamiest residential sections in New York city.

The Irishman who appeared before Magistrate Emely several days ago in a complaint against a neighbor, the owner of a scrappy bulldog, was not specific enough in his answers to suit the court. He left entirely too much to the imagination, the magistrate afterward said. At one point in his testimony he told of a vicious attack by the dog up on himself when he had gone into his neighbor's yard on business. He described how tbe dog growled and came at him, and how he fled, and how his wife screamed, not forgetting the details in the setting. "But you said the dog bit you?" asked the magistrate. "Shure, and he did bite me. Indeed he did," said the witness, starting off again. "Yes, but now you've told me all about everything except hoy he bit you." "Why," exclaimed the man, who began to get excited, "haven't I just been after telling you all about it?" "No, you have not," declared Emely. "You have been telling me about everything but the biting. Now, tefl me, where did he bite you?" "He bit me," replied the witness, "just betwixt the back porch and the fence."—Philadelphia Times.

At the time of this occurrence I had been in the * tench capital for one week, being carried there by the announcement of the sale of the Countess Boccalini's jewels. On the night of which I am writing, my trading was done, and a ridiculous promise to go to the Opera ball alone kept me in Paris. How the promise came to be given to my friend Tussal I cannot remember; but he had assured me that the ball was the event o t April. By the terms of his invitation I was t o meet him at ijie Grand cafe at midnight, and thence was to proceed to the opera house at half-past twelve. I had determined to'dine quietly at my own hotel, and afterwards to spend the Intervening hours at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin; for which purpose I dressed at a comparatively early hour; and dressing, received the stiff-necked Gascon's message.that a lady,wished t o see me. Yet for what purpose she came, or who she might be, I had not an idea; and I turned over a hundred theories in my mind as Ldescended to the little reception room of the hotel, and there found Iter sitting by the uncovered table with a railway guide before her, but obviously agitated, and as obviously pretty. "I am Bernard Sutton " said I; "if it la possible that I can be of any service t o you, the privilege is mine—" , "Thank you, a thousand times," said she, speaking with an accent which added to the charm of her English. "I h a v e heard of you often from Madam Carmalovltch, whose husband owned the famotfs opal; you were very kind t o her—" "I was exceedingly sorry for her," I replied; "are you a relation of hers?" "Oh, no!" she exclaimed; "I am Mademoiselle Edile Bernier, and I live' w i t h my mother at 32, Rue Boissiere. You wilffaugh t o hear why I come to y o u .

"I won't waste your time by being ambiguous," said I; "ydu have come t o consult me about s o m e jewels; pray l e t m e see them." There was no one else i n the salon a t that time, the few people in the h o t e l being at dinner.

It concerns the bracelet, of course?' "Ye—yes," said she, "but I am very much afraid^ you will laugh at me. I wanted to ask you if, in your judgment— that is, with your experience— there is any reason why I should not wear my present at the Opera ball tonight?" Her confusion, when thus she had unburdened herself, was overwhelming. "Mademoiselle Bernier," said I, "the most important part of the Intelligence you meant to bring to me remains unspoken. * Let me encourage you to tell me everything freely, and be assured that without your express permission nothing you may say will be remembered by me." "Thank you very much," she said quietly, evidently regaining complete confidence; "but I have nothing to conceal. A week ago, Mons. Barre gave me this bracelet with the stipulation that I should wear it at the ball tonight. Two days ago, I received this letter, which I hesitated to show even to you, lest it should be an injustice to the man I love." She passed, with her words, a dirty scrap of a note to me, the leaf of a sheet of the commonest lined scribbling paper; and I read upon it, written i n very bad French, the warning: "Mademoiselle. If you wear tne topaz bracelet at the Opera ball tonight you carry death upon your arm." Thrice I read this; and as I read the words, the third time aloud, I saw, shaping about the simplicity of the girl, a mystery which seemed as deep, and at first sight as unfathomable, as any that I had known. "Mademoiselle," said I, "you speak to me of very deep matters, I fear. But, of course, you have shown this letter to your relatives?' "I have but one relative in the world," said she, "my mother, who is a paralytic. I dare not menton such a thing to her; she would die of fear." I had now begun to pace up and down the room, being in a very whirl of theory and conjecture. And, in truth, the problem presented so many possibilities that it might well have troubled a man whose whole occupation was the solution of mysteries. "Tell me," said I, stopping of a sudden before her, "what led you to me?" "Madam Carmalovltch," said she, "I went to her first, but she knew you were in Paris, and would not rest until I had consented to see you. She wou^crtave eome with me, but is latterly almost always unable to face the night air." "You have no one else you would care to consult in such a case?" "No one," said she. "And if you go to the ball to-night without your bracelet—?" She looked up at me with tears i n her eyes when she answered: "Georges would never forgive me." "Since you are determined to be there to-night," said I, "perhaps you will give me Mons, Georges Barre's address?" "Oh, for the love of God, don't tell him!" she cried; "he would never forgive me If I distrusted his present." "My dear young lady, I quite understand that. Really, you credit me with being a very poor diplomatist. When I Bee him I doubt if I shall evep mention your name to him." "You promise me that?" "I promise you, at least, that he shall never know of your coming to me. But I* must exact another promise from you—it is that you will not wear the topaz until you have my permission." "But Georges expects me to wear it at the ball." "He would not expect you to risk your life. And there is no reason* so far as I can see, why I should not be able to give you permission, or to refuse it, by eleven o'clock. You do not go to the opera until midnight, I pre- " N o v e r f o r a m o m e n t , c o n v e n t u n t i l l a s t y e a r i 1 : ^ \ij< a p t .

We will both dine now; but first let me look at your bracelet once more." She handed me the case again; and I , leaving her f o r a m o m e n t to. fetch my glass, put the jewel under the strong light of the chandelier, and examined every inch of it - within -and without I discovered then that which had escaped me upon first acquaintance with i t . In one of the crevices of the clasp there was a blood-atain, unmistakable, even freBh, yet so concealed by the embossment of the jewels that I did not wonder she had remained in ignorance of it. But when I gave it to her again I doubt not that I was very serious, and this she observed, and made comment upon. "You see something now which you did not see ten minutes ago," she cried; "you will surely tell me?" "I see a very pretty n£nk topaz," said I, forcing a smile, "and a young lady who is missing her dinner. Come, have some confidence in me, and put all these thoughts out of your mind until I ask you to remember them again." "I will," said she, "and can never thank you enough; you do not know what a trouble you frave taken from my mind." Here was the end of our interview, for we had come to the door of the courtyard as we spoke, and I put her at once into the neat little brougham which was waiting for her. There were but two other men, the concierge, and a short, exceedingly dark man i n evening'dress, about the place at that time; and as the brougham drove away it occurred to pie that the latter fellow was watching me rather closely, upon which I had a good look at him; but he turned away sharply to the coffee room, while I" went to my dinner i n as fine a state of bewilderment as I have known. I determined to call upon the sculptor at once, and to use every device at my command in the interests of the "Of course!" "Mother of God! she is a dead woman then." It is often possible to tell from the chord of voice a man strikes in conversation whether he be friend or enem y . I knew from the sympathetic note i n this earnest exclamation that I had to do-with * one w h o ; wished well to Mademoiselle Bernier. "Look here," said I, "this i s no time for words like this. Come into the cafe with me, and I will pay you fifty pounds for what you know. I t shall be worth a hundred i f you convince me that you have done a substantial kindness to Mademoiselle Bernier." "First," said he, "tell m e , U i d mademoiselle speak of a letter s h e had received?" "She not only spoke of it, but she gave it tQ me to read," I replied. "Well," said lie, "I wrote it." "I gathered that from your words," said I next; "and of course you wrote it for very good reasons ?" u. , "You Shall hear them," said he, sipping freely of his drink. "That bracelet was worn at the MKfareme ball i n Marseilles by a girl named Berthe Duv a l She was carried from the ball room stabbed horribly, at one o'clock in the morning. She died i n my arms, for in one week she was to have rbeen my wife." "And the assassin?" I asked. "Was hunted for by the police in vain," he continued. "I myself offered every shilling that I had to find him, but, despite the activity of us all, he was never so much as named. Let us go back another year—it-- is painful enough for me because such a retrogression recalls to me the one passion of my life—a passion beside wElcE The affair at Marseilles is not to be spoken of. God knows that the memory of the woman I refer to is at this moment eating out my heart. She was an Italian girl, 16 years old when she died, and I think—why should I not?—that the world has never held a more beautiful creature. Well, she wore the ma fickleness, by the riches of the men who sought her. "But arrivons! In the end of the January of last year, I, struggling to embrace a career in which I have failed because I have genius and . no talent, obtained a commission from the Dominican monks to go to the valley of San Bernardo, and to take up my ment a man, young but ragged, w1it Mh Mm full-bearded face, .and* the cape of a priest about his5 shoulders, stood swinging his lantern before me, and looking down at the tomb of the jewels by our feet.

It was now near to ten o'clock, and, having dined hastily, I passed through the courtyard on my way to the Hotel Scribe. There I saw, to my "surprise, that the lll-visaged Italian—for so I judged he wTas-^stiil loitered about the place; but again appeared to avoid scrutiny. This second appearance of his seemed to me—t knew not why—as the shaping of a story from the air; but I had no courage then to speak to him* and I walked on down the boulevard, perceiving as I wept that flambeaus already lighted the great opera house, and that the canaille were preparing for the riot. When at last ' I came to the hotel, and sent up my card, the answer was that Mons. Barre had just left, and was not expected to return until the next morning. How completely this answer undid my purpose I could never set down. The, man was my (nly possible hope. I quitted the passage of the hotel, being still bent upon the journey to the Rue Boissiere, and was again upon the pavement before the cafe, when I saw the Italian for the third time. He stood upon the very edge of the curbstone, undisgvisedly waiting for me, so that upon a sudden impulse, Which had wisdom, in it, I walked over to him, and this time he did not turn away. "Forgive the question," said I, in my miserable French, "hut you are betraying ati interest in my movements which is unusual; in fact,you have followed me from my.hotel, I think?" "Exactly," he replied, having even less of the tongue than I had, though I make no attempt to reproduce the vagaries of his idiom.

She had drunk poisoned coffee, and no man but one knew by whose hand the death had come to her." "You say no man but one; that one was—" "Myself!" "Then you knew who killed the other victim at Marseilles?" "I knew, as you say; but to know and to arrest are different things." "Have you any idea as to the man's whereabouts now?" "Every idea; he was in Paris three days ago—he was in Paris to-day. I should judge it more than likely that he will be at the Opera ball to-night." Before ne could say more I rose from my chair and summoned the head waiter of the place to me. Then I wrote an urgent message upon a leaf of my notebook and dispatched it by a cab to 32, Rue Boissiere. The message implored Mademoiselle Bernier, as she valued ber life, to leave the bracelet at home for this night at any rate. 1 "Now," said I, "we can talk still at our leisure. You have taken me back to Marseilles fourteen months ago; let us have the chapter i n your life which precedes that one." He finished off his absinthe, and called for another glass before he would answer me. A t last he said: "You ask me to speak of things which I would well forget. I have sufficient confidence in you, however, to trust my safety in your hands. The story Is not a long one. Three years ago I was a struggling painter in Savona, giving half my life to a study o f the pictures in the cathedral—you may know the Work of Antonio Semini there-Mmd the other half to the wort h e H o t e l ; R o y a l . N e e d l e s s t o t e l l y o u o f toy p o v e r t y , o r o f m y b e l i e f i n m y - s e f f V I l i v e d t h e n i n t h e d a y - d r e a m s w h i c h c o m e a t t h l s e e d - t i m e o f a r t ; t h e y w e r e b r o k e n o n l y b y t h e w a y w a r d a e s s o f t h e g i r l , , b y h e r w o m a n l y j l i g h t ,ef,, a of the more modern and more faded pictures i n the sanctuary of Nostra S l g n o r a d l Mlsericordia. The shrine and village lie in the mountains five miles above Savona. The former is now regaining its splendor, though grievously pillaged by the French and by later vandals. The work would have been recreation to me had it not been for Pauline, whom I left to the persecution of a fat and soulless trader, and to the solicitations of her father that she should marry him. "It was at the end of the third week that my thoughts were ardently recalled to her byj a circumstance which cannot fail to appear remarkable to you. I was walking in the late afternoon o f the Sunday in the path which leads one high amongst the mountains, here rising green and purple, and afar with snowcaps above this lovely spot; and, chancing to turn aside from the road and to plunge into a shrubbery, I sat at last upon the log o f a tree perched at the side of as wild a glen as I have seen in Italy. Below me were rocks of marble-black, yellow, red—all colors; aloe trees flourlshe'd abundantly, springing from every cranny of the dell; and though the reign of winter was not done, flowers blossomed everywhere, and multitudinous shrubs were rich in green and buds. Here I sat for an hour buried in my musings, and when at last I.left it was by an overgrown l>ath across the dingle. I found then that the opposite side of the place was vastly steeper than the one by which I had descended; i n fact, I mounted it with difficulty; and when near to the summit, I clung to the saplings and .the branches for sheer foothold. This action brought all my trouble, for of a sudden, just as I had come to the top, a shrub to which I was holding gave at the roots and, giving, sent me rolling to the bottom again with a great quantity of soft earth all about me and my bones achjng indescribably. "For some minutes I sat, being dizzy and shaken, on the soft grass. When I could look around me I saw a strange thing. In a mound of the mold which had fallen there was a crucifix of gold. Thickly covered with the clammy earth as it was, dulled and tarnished with long burial, the value of the thing was unmistakable. Rubies were set in the hands for blood, there was a crown of diamonds for thorns; the whole was ornamented with a sprinkling of jewels, whose Are was brilliant even through the pasty clay which clung upon the cross. I need scarce tell you that all the curiosity which is a part of me was whetted at this unexpected sight; and. believing that I had come upon a very mine of treasure, I shook the mold oft me and went quickly by the easier path to the hill-top and the place of the landslip. "Twilight was ndw rushing through tho mountains, and a steely light, soon to turn into darkness, fell upon the ravine; yet I was able still to see clearly enough for my purpose—and for my disappointment. It is true that the slip of the earth from the hillside disclosed a cavernous hole which had been dug, no doubt, many years ago; but of the kind of treasure whose image had leaped into my mind I saw little. The few bright things that lay about in the part of the trough which remained were entirely such vessels as serve priests in the mass. There was a pyx in silver, a paten in gold, and two smaller ones; a monstrance with some exceedingly fine diamonds and the topaz in it, and a gold chalice much indented. I judged at once that these things had been buried either when the French plunderers came to Italy, or after the trouble of '70. It was equally clear that they were the property of the Dominicans whose house was hard by; and either that their present hiding place was unknown, or that they had been left in concealment for some reason of diplomacy. In any case, the value of tbe stones in thtoLmonstrance was unquestionable; but 1 f i am an Italian, as you see, and I believed then, as now, in nothing but omens. For a long while no thought of touching these things, scarce even of handling them—so strong i n human flesh is the grain of early superstition —came to me. I sat there gazing at them and watching the light of the topaz sparkling even above the radiance o f the smaller diamonds—sat, in fact, until it was quite dark and the miasma rose from the valley. Then, in one of those flashes of thought which often mean much to a man, I had it in my mind that both the diamonds and the topaz above them would sit well upon the arms of Pauline; I even saw her in my fancy coquetting to me for the present. I began to laugh aloud at the other thoughts, to call t h e m echoes o f childish schooling, to handle the chalice and the ring o f jewels, and to tell myself that there would be n o bigger fool in Europe if I did not take them. Need I tell you that the reasoning convinced me? and quickly, as the cold o f the m i s t grew m o r e i n t e n s e , I took the baubles i n my hand, s t i & l a c k - ing the courage t o secure t h e C h a l i c e and t h e crucifix, and r o s e td l e a v e t h e p l a c e . > " N o w , f o r the first t i m e , I t h i n k ; y o n a r e b e g i n n i n g t o s e e t h e p o i n t o f m y s t o r y .

Terror, human terror, i s no word for my experience. , "Thus I stood facing the man w h e n he opened his lips to curse me. * I believe now, and shall always believe, tnat he is nothing but a lna^ma^ whose brain has failed from long fasting. Be that as it may, his words ring yet in my ears. If you search tho world through, read the curse upon Barbarossa, and all the volumes o f anathema, you will never find such, a. blasting accusation as the man spoke when he saw the monstrance in my hand. So dreadful was it that I reeled before him; and, losing all command; I Btruck him down with my stick and fled the place. The next day I quitted the valley of San Bernardo, and In a week.Pauline was wearing the topaz, set by her father aa a bracelet, and the diamonds sparkled upon her fingers. She covered me with kisses for the gift, and in her embraces I forgot the madman of the hills and my melancholy passed. "The rest of my story you know. Pauline wore the topaz at the Mardl Gras ball, and died ton minutes after she had entered the room. A year later, having fled from Italy, I became engaged por passer le temps to Berthe Duval at Marseilles'. A man has many love affairs, but only one passion. I was not in love with her, but she was rich, and troubled herself to get a smattering of art-talk, which amused me. One day she found the topaz in my studio and begged it of me. She died as you have heard; and I, poor as always, and now pursued by the damning curse, came to Paris, selling the topaz on my way here to M . Georges Barre. I have never ceased to regret that which I did; I have lamented it the most since I saw the exquisite creature who is to be his Wife. And when, three days ago, I discovered the madman who had cursed me at San Bernardo in the very Rue Boissiere where Mademoiselle Bernier lives, I determined to save her though the deed cosf^ne a confession and my 1 inertt y." s h i p o f P a u l i n e d i C h l g i , t h e d a u g h t e r o f a s i l v e r s m i t h w h o l i v e s o v e r a g a i n s t | f a l l e n u p o n t h e r a v i n e - - a t t r o s e t o q u i t i t , a n d t h a t m i s t s r o s e t h i c k f r o m t h e v a l l e y w i t h t h e e a r l y n i g h t T o u w i l l , t h e r e f o r e , e a s i l y u n d e r s t a n d m y d i s - c o m f i t u r e w h e n , r e f l e c t e d u p o n t h o w h i t e c u r t a i n o f f o g , I s a w f h e d a n c i n g J t t too,neit m* Come," said I, "presuming that your picture is not highly colored, it I s quite time we were at the opera; it l a striking half-past twelve now. You know what women are. Mademoiselle Bernier may wear the bracelet in the face of everything I have said; and I am Inclined to think with you that i t is not wise for her to do so." "God forbid.that she should," said he; and with that we went out together. -It was with tho greatest difficulty that I reached Tussal's box, and therefrom looking down-upon the wild carnival, seeing at tho first but a medley of form and color, a reckless horde of dancers, grisettes, shepherdesses, o v e r whose heads confetti hurtled, or t h e spirales which the youths loved What with the dust and the scream of voices, and the chatter of the thousand tongues, and the heroic efforts of the fiddlers. I t was almost impossible to locate anything or anyone; but the Italian, readier than I, pointed out to me at last the one we sought; and I observed her sitting i n a box quite close to us, where she seemed to talk with all a girl's esprit t o the young sculptor a t her ei$e. A fairer spectacle never w a a than that of this childish creature, quaintly dressed in a simple gown of white and black, with a necklace of pearls a b o u t hor throat, and a bouquet of roses in her hand; but the very sight of her turned me sick with fear, for she wore upon her arm the cursed topaz, and you could see the light of it half o v e r the house. The Italian and I perceived the thing a t t h e o n e time. "For the l o v e of Heaven go t o her!" said he; "tell the whole story to b o t h of them; s h e may not b a v e t e n m i n - utes t o l i v e .

In one of those appalling alternations from sound to silence she heard a humap ery—an answering ery to her own? It came from the hills be- .fcind her. It must proceed, she thought, from the man. She could not meet thatNaan, although she craved human companionship as never before* she did not want his. She could mot bear i t Better the wrath of God, the fury of the tempest. Heedless of the sharp note of warning, of appeal, i n the voice ere It was drowned by another roll of thunder, she plunged on in the darkness. The * canon narrowed here; she made her way down the ledges, leaping recklessly from rock to rock, slipping, falling, grazing now one side, now the other, hurling herself forward with white face and bruised body and torn hands and throbbing heart that would r falu burst its bonds. There was onoe a n ancient legend, a human creature, r menaced by a l l the furies, pitilessly ^pursued by every malefic spirit of earth and air; like him this sweet young girl, innocent, lovely, erstwhile .happy, fled before the storm. * .Then tbe heavens burst, and the fountains of the great deeps were broken open and with absolute litttoralness the floods descended. The bursting clpuds, torn asunder by the wild winda, driven by the pent-up lightning within their black and turgid breasts, disburdened themselves. The water came down, as it did of old when Ood washed the face of the world, In a flood. The narrow of the canon was filled ten, twenty, thirty rfeet in a moment by the cloud burst. T h e black water rolled and foamed, .surging like tire rapids at Niagara. The body of the girl, utterly unpre- • pared, was caught up In a moment and flung like a bolt from a catapult down the seething aea filled with the trunks of the trees and the debris of the * mountains, tossing about humanly in the wild confusion. She struck out strongly swimming more because of the instinct of life than for any other reason. A helpless atom In the boiling flood, growing every minute great- /er and greats as the angry skies disj gorged themselves of their pent-up ^torrents upon her devoted head. } CHAPTER VI.

There he reveled in his isolation. What had been punishment, expiation, had at last become pleasure. Civilization was bursting through the hills in every direction, railways were being pushed hither and thither, the precious metals were being discovered at various places and after them came hoards of men and with them—God save the mark—women; but his section of the country had hitherto been unvisited even by hunter^ explorers, miners, or pleasure seekers. He was glad, as be, hag grown to love the sftot where he had made his home, and he had no wish to be forced, like little Joe, Jo move on. Once a man who loved the strife, noble or ignoble, of the madding crowd, he had grown accustomed to silence, habituated to solitude. Winter and summer alike he roamed the mountains, delving into every forest, exploring every hidden canyon, surmounting every inaccessible peak; no storm, no snow, no condition of wind or weather daunted him or stopped him. He had no human companionship by which to try his mettle, but nevertheless over the world of the material which lay about him he was a master as he was a man. He found some occupation^ too, In the following of old Adam's inheritance; during the pleasant months of summer he made such garden as he could. His profession of mining engineer gave him other employment. Round about him lay treasures inestimable, precious metals abounded in the hills. He had located them, tested, analyzed, estimated the wealth that was his for the taking—it was as valueless to him as the doubloons and golden guineas were to Selkirk on his island. Yet the knowledge that It was there gave him an energizing sense of potential power, unconsciously enormously flattering to his self-esteem. Sometimes he wandered to the extreme verge of the range and on clear days saw far beneath him the smoke of great cities of the plains. He could be master among men as he was a master among mountains, if he chose. On such occasions he laughed cynically, scornfully, yet rarely did he ever give way to such emotions. A great and terrible sorrow was upon him; cherishing a-great passion he had withdrawn himself from the common lot to dwell upon it. From a perverted sense of expiation, in a madness of grief, horror and despair, he had made himself a prisoner to his deas in the desert of the mountains. Back to his cabin he would hasten, and there surrounded by his living memories—deathless, yet of the dead! —he would recreate the past until dejection drove him abroad on the hills to meet God if not man—or woman. Night-day, sunshine-shadow, heat-cold, storm-calm; these were his life. Having disburdened his faithful animals of their packs and having seen them safely bestowed for the winter in the corral he had built near the base of the cliff upon which his rude home was situated, he took his rifle one morning for one of those lonely walks across the mountains from which he drew such comfort because he fancied the absence of man con* duced to the nearness of God. It was a delusion as old nearly as the Chris* tian religion. Many had made themselves hermits in the past in remorse for sin and for love toward God; this man had buried himself in the wilderness i n part for the first'of these causes, i n other, part for the love of woman. < In the. days of swift and sudden change he had been constant t o o remembrance, and, abiding i n his determination for five ~ swift moving years. The world for him had stopped its progress in one brief moment five years back—tbe rest was silence. What had happened since then out yonder where people were mated he did not know janjj^he did not greatly care. J In his visits to the settlements he asked no questions, he bought no papers, he manifested no interest i n the world; somethings in him had died in one f e ^ moment* and there, had been, as yet, no reaurrection. Yet life, hope, and ambition •6¾., not die, ithey are indeed eternal. ;* Resurgam! . L i f e with Its tromanitous activities, its awful anxieties, its wearing strains, its rare triumphs, its ^opportunities [for, achievement, for service; hope with Us Illuminations, its encouragements, fits expectations, ambition with US stimulus, its force, its power; and greatest of all, love, itself alone— iall three were latent In him. In touch and a master among men, rather than the hermit and the recluse of the solitudes. He did not allow these thoughts to come into his life; indeed, it is quite likely that he scarcely realized them at all yet; such possibilities did not present themselves to him. Perhaps the man was a little mad that morning, maybe he trembled on the verge of a break—upward, downward, I know not so it be away—unconsciously as he strode along the range that morning. tion so far as a mere man could, be thoroughly understood and appreciate ed, and whose modesty he fain wdi spare, having not forgotten to be] a gentleman in five years of bis own ^society— high test of quality, that. He climbed out upon the bank, uprooted a small tree, rolled the bear to him. He was prepared to withdraw instantly should circumstances warrant, and he was careful so to conceal himself as to give no possible opportunity for her to discover bis scrutiny. With a beating heart and eager eyes he searched the spot There lay the bear and a little distance away prone clear of the heap of woman's clothing on the grass, clothed hut whethand marched straight ahead of him up I e r j Q her right mind or not he could the canon and around the bend. n o t tell, lay the woman.

He scrambled down the rocks and found himself in a thick grove of pine. Making his way slowly and with great difficulty through the tangle of fallen timber which lay in every direction, the sound of a human voice, the last thing on earth to be expected in that wilderness, smote upon the fearful hollow of his ear. Any voice or any word then and there would have surprised him, but there was a note of awful terror lp this voice, a sound of frightened appeal. The desperation in the cry left him no moment for thought, the demand was for action. The cry was not addressed to him, apparently, but to God, yet It was he who answered— sent doubtless by that Over-looking Power who works in such mysterious ways His wonder to perform! He leaped over the intervening trees to the edge of the forest where the rapid waters ran. To the right of him rose a huge rock, or cliff, in dewing his forehead, and the sweat dressed herself before either of these had not come from his exe/tions. In things happened. She lay motionless one moment the whole even tenor of I under his gaze for so long that he his life was changed.

There was a woman there! He had time for but the swiftest glance; he had surmised that the voice was not that of a man's voice instantly he heard it, and now he was sure. She stood white breast deep i n the water staring ahead of her. The' next second he saw what had alarmed her —a Grizzly Bear, the largest, fiercest, most forbidding sneclnian he, had ever seen. There were a few of those monsters still left in the range; he himself had killed several. The woman bad not seen him. He was a silent man by long habit, accustomed to saying nothing, he said nothing now. But instantly aiming from the hip with a wondrOuB skill and a perfect mastery of the weapon, and Indeed it was a short range for so huge a target, he pumped bullet after bullet from his Winchester into the evil monarch of the mountains. The first shot did for him, but making assurance double and treble sure, he fired again and again. Satisfied at last,that, the bear .was, dead, and observing that he had fallen upon the clothes of the bather, he turned, descended the stream for a few yards until he came to a place where it was easily fordable, stepped through it •Sjeohs ha threaded Ills w i y w j f e «*> vourst these grave cbihes s*U«vound | without a glance toward the woman ward the bend which Concealed him from her ahd theft%e 'Stopped. Had be any right to intrude upon her! privacy? He must of necessity be an unwelcome visitor to her; he had surprised her at a frightful disadvantage, he knew instinctively, although the fault was none of his, although he had saved her life thereby, that she would hold him and .him alone responsible tor the outrage to her modesty, and although he had seen little at first glance and had resolutely kept his eyes away, the mere conscious* .nesa of her absolute helplessness appealed to him—to what was best and noblest i n h?«% too. He must go to her; yet stay, she might not yet be clothed, in which event—. But no, she must be dressed, or dead, by this time, and in either case he would have a duty to discharge. It devolved upon him to make sure of her safety; he waa i n a certain sense responsible for it, until she got bach to her friends, wherever they might be; but he persuaded himself that otherwise he did hot want to see 'ber again, thai he did not wish to know anytying about her future; that he did hpVcare whether, it was well or ill with, her; and H was only" stern, obligation which d^ove Dixit toward hef-^bh, fond and foolish man t He compromised with himself at last by climbing the ridge .that bad. not. He could not. Tbe pressure upon him was not yet strong enough. A half dozen times as he watched her deliberately sitting there eating, he opened his mouth to cry to her, yet he could not bring himself to i t A strange timidity oppressed him; halted him, held him back. A man cannot stay away five years from men and women and be himself with them in the twinkling of an eye. And when to that instinctive and acquired reluctance against which he struggled in vain, he added the assurance that whatever his message he would bo unwelcome on account of what had gone before; he could not force himself to go to her or even to call to her, not yet. He would^keep her under surveillance, however, and if the worst came he could intervene in time to rescue her. He counted without his cost, his usual judgment bewildered. So he followed her through the trees and down the bank. Now he was so engrossed in her and so agitated that his caution slept, his experience was forgotten. The storm In his own breast was so great that it overshadowed the storm brewing above. Her way was easier than his and he had fallen some distance behind when suddenly there rushed upon him the fact that a frightful and unlooked for cloudburst was about to occur above their heads. A lightning flash and a thunder clap at last arrested his attention. Then, but not until then, he flung everything to the winds and amid the sullen and almost continuous peals of thunder he sent cry after cry toward her which were lost in the tremendous diapason of sound that echoed and re-echoed through the rifts of the mountains, "Wait," he cried again and again. "Come up higher. Get out ot the canon, Y o u l l be drowned." But he had waited too long. The storm had developed too rapidly; she was too far ahead of and beneath him. She heard nothing but the sound of a voice, shrill, menacing, fraught with terror for her, not a word distinguishable; scarcely to her disturbed^ soul even a human voice, i t seemed like the wierd cry of some wild spirit of the storm. It sounded to ber overwrought nerves so utterly inhuman that she only ran the faster. The canon swerved and then doubled back, but he knew its direction. Losing sight of her for the moment he plunged straight ahead through the trees, cutting off the bend, leaping with superhuman agility and strength over rocks and 'otfs' until he reached a point where the rift narrowed between two wars and ran deeply. There and then the heavens opened and the floods came and beat into the open maw of that vast crevice'and filled it in an Instant. As the deluge came roaring down, bearing onward the sweepings and scourings of the mountains; he caught a glimpse of her white desperate face rising, falling, now disappearing, now coming into view again, in the foamy midst of the torrent. He ran to the cliff bank and throwing aside his gun he scrambled down the wall to a certain shetf of the rock over which the rising water broke thinly.' Ordinarily it was twenty feet above the creek bed. Bracing^imself against a jagged projection he waited praying. The canon, was here so narrow, that he could have leaped to the other side and yet it was too narrow for hiisrto reach her if thejivater did not/Sweep her toward his feet It was all done In mm Dictograph, The dictograph consists of a series of sensitive metal plates set in a hard rubber cylinder, In-its elements it ia a telephone transmitter magnified Used in^a business way it enable** a man to sit at his desk in his private office alone and talk off his correspondence without tbe stenographer being present Tne stenographer; may r be In the next room or on the o£ber side of the building, but she hears tho wards as distinctly as though she were at his elbow, and /seta them . j a second., Fortunately a^projection'on Ti^SlSS^S^SS mf doup a* the pl*c. ao memorable [ tha other aide threw the force Of i^ttS^i wSffSiSpt i / torrent toward him and with it cam# the woman. She was almost spent She h been Struck by a log upheaved some mighty wave, her hands were* moving feebly, her eyes were closed; she was drowning, dying, but indomlt ably battling on. He stooped down and as a surge lifted her, he threw his arm around her waist and then he braced himself against the rock to sustain the full thrust of the mighty flood. As he seized her she gave way suddenly, as if after having done a i l that she could there was now nothing left but to trust herself to his hand and God's. She hung a dead weight on his arm in the ravening water which dragged and tore at her madly. He was a man of giant strength, but ihe struggle bade fair to be too much even for him. It seemed as If the mountain behind him was giving way. He set his teeth, he tried desperately to hold on, be thrust out his right hand, holding her with the other one, and clawed at the dripping rock i n vain. In a moment the torrent mastered him and when it did so It seized him with fury and threw him like a stone from a sling into the seething vortex of the mid-stream. But In all this he did not, or would not, release her. Such was the swiftness of the motion with which they were swept downward t h a t ^ e A f ^ g ^ a g ^ e d to his only J ^ ^ ^ H ^ ^ ^ v P a u * head above w a t ^ M ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ H from being dashed a g a i n s H H J P P P that tumbled end over encT*or whirled sideways, or were jammed into clusters only to burst out on every hand. He struggled furiously to keep himself from being overwhelmed in the seething madness, and what waa harder, to keep tbe lifeless woman in his arms from being stflcken or wrenched away. He knew that below the narrows where the canon widened the water would subside, the awful fury of the rain would presently cease. If he could steer clear of the rocks In the broad he might win to land with her. The chances against him were thousands to nothing. But what are chances in the eyes of God! The man in his solitude had not forgotten to pray, his habits stood him in good stead now. He petitioned shortly, brokenly, in brief unspoken words as he battled through the long dragging seconds. Fighting, clinging, struggling, praying, he was swept on. Heavier and heavier the woman dragged in an unconscious heap. It would have been easier for him if he had let her go; she would never know and he could then escape. The idea never once occurred to him. He had indeed withdrawn from his kind, but when one depended upon him all the old appeal of weak humanity awoke quick response in the bosom of the strong. He would die with the stranger rather than yield her to the torrent or admit himself beaten and give up tho fight. So the conscious and the unconscious struggled through the narrow of the canon. Presently with the rush and hurl of a bullet from the mouth of a gun, they found themselves in a shallow lake through which tbe waters still rushed mightily, breaking over rocks, digging away shallow-rooted trees; leaping, biting, snarling, bearing at the big walls spread away on either side. He had husbanded some of bis strength for this final effort, this last chance of escape. Below them at the other end of this open the walls came together again.. There the descent was sharper than before and the water ran to the opening with racing speed. Once again in the torrent: and t they would be swept to death in spite Of'*all. - ' .;• w Shifting his grasp t o the woman's hair, now unbound, he held her with one hand and swam hard with the other. The current still ran swiftl/ but with no gigantic upheaving waves as before. It was more easy to avoid floating timber and^delnfo and on one side where' the ground sloped somewhat gently the quick water flowed more slowly. He struck nut desperately for l t v forcing himself away from the main stream into tbe^ shallows and evef dragging the woman, ' Was it hours or minutes or seconds after that he gained the battle and neared the shore at the lowest edge?

Captain Murrell, a friend or the Qulntards, appears and asks Questions about the Barony.

While he was still speaking,, he had produced a jug from behind the quilt that screened his bed, and now took himself off into the night. Left alone, Cannibal gravely seated himself at the table. What the judge's lardar lacked in variety it more than made up for in quantity, and the boy was grateful for this fact. Presently he heard the judge's heavy, shuffling step as he came up the path from the road, and a moment later his gross bulk of body tilled the doorway. Breathing hard and perspiring, the judge entered the shanty, but his eagerness kept him silent v untll he had established himself in his chair beside the table, with the jug and a cracked glass at his elbow. Then, bland and smiling, he turned toward his guest. "My tenderest regards, Hannibal!" and he' nodded over the rim of the cracked glass his shaking hand had carried to his lips. Twice the glass was filled and emptied, and then again, his roving/ watery eyes rested meditatively ou the child. "Have you a father?" he asked suddenly. Hannibal shook his head. " A mother?"

"Bless you, Hannmal!" cried the judge, looking wonderfully cheerful, despite his recent bitterness of spirit. "I'm not experiencing any of the pangs of mortality now.

You can dig up the dirt under the shuck tick with tt—which helps astonishingly. What would the world say if it could know that Judge Slocum Price makes his bed with a hoe!" Hannibal retired behind the quilt. "Do you find it comfortable?" the judge asked, when the rustling of the shuck tick informed him that the child had lain down. "Yes, sir," said the boy. "Have you said your prayers?" inquired the judge. "No, sir. I ain't said 'em yet," "Well, say them now. Religion is as becoming In the young as it Is respectable in the aged.

A whispered curse slipped from between his Hps. Aloud he said: ""• • "Is that you, Mr. Mahaffy r ' He got no reply, but the tall flfcure, propelled fcy veryjbn$ legs, stalked into the shanty and £ pair of keen, restlees eyes deeply set under a high, bald head were bent curiously upon him. *1 take it I'm intruding," the newcomer said sourly. "Why should you think that, Solomon Mahafty? When has my door been closed on you?" tbe judge asked, but there was a guilty deepening or the flush on hit face. Mi? Mahaffy glanced at the jug, at the half-emptied giace, lastly at tt* judge himself. «... ure. By the river had come Mr. Mahaffy, as unfit as the Judge Wmseif, and for the same reason, but sour and bitter wi|b the world, believing always to the possibility of some miracle of regeneration. At the Judge's elbow Mr. Mahaffy changed hia position with nervous suddenness. Then he folded his long arms. "You askedVif there was any news, Price; while we were watting for the boat a raft tied up to the bank; the fellow aboard or it had a man he'd fished up out of the river, a man who'd bean pretty weir cut to pieces.4' "Who was he?" asked the judpe. "Nobody knew, and he wasn't conscious. I shouldn't be surprised if he never opens his lips again. Wbe* the doctor had looked to his cuts, the fellow oh the raft cast off and went on down the Elk." It .occurred to the judge that, be himself bad news to impart He must account for the boy*e presence. "While you've been taking your wbitt of life dew* at the steamboat fctrtto* Mabgffr, I < * r t » e » eiaat* "Have either of you gentlemen seen a boy go through here today?" Murrell glanced from one to the other. Mr. Mahaffy's thin lips twisted themselves into a sarcastic smile. He turned to the judge, who spoke up quickly. "Did he carry a bundle and rifle?" he asked. Murrell gave eager assent "Well," said the judge, "ho stopped here along about four o'clock, and asked his way to the nearest river landing." • • • • • • • • "Hannibal—" the judge's voice and manner were rather stern. "Hannibal, a man rode by here last night on a big bay horse. He said he was looking for a boy about ten years old —a boy with a bundle and rifle." There was an awfuipauSe. "Who W^s that man. ^annibal?" "It Were daptaih. Murrell." Tne judge raised his fist and brought It xiown wtth a great crash ou the table. "We don't know any boy ten, yeatrs old with a ride and bundle!" he said. ; t"PJeager^ypu won't let him take me away* jud^e— I want to stop with fouV cried Hannibal. He slipped from fris.chair, and passing about the table, seized the judge by the hand. Tike Judge was visibly affected. '!No!" he roared. "He shan't have you. Is he kin to you?" "No," said Hannibal "He trted to §et me away from my Uncle Bob." • "Where is your Uncle Bob?" "He's dead." And the child began to weep bitterly. The judge bent and lifted him into his lap. 'There, my son—" he said soothingly. "Now you tell me when he died, and all about it." "He were killed. It were only yesterday, and I can't forget him. I don't want to—but it hurts—it hurts terrible!" Hannibal buried his head In the judge's shoulder and sobbed aloud. Presently his small hands stole about the Judge's neck, and' that gentleman experienced a strange thrill of pleasure. "Tell me how he died, Hannibal," be urged gently. In a voice broken by sobs, the child began th© story of their flight, a confused narrative. The judge shuddered. "Can such things be," he murmured at last. Then he remembered what Mahaffy had tqld him of the man on the raft "ttarinlbal/' l i e said, "Solomon Mahaffy, Who was here last night told me he saw down at the river landing, a man who had been fished up out of the Elk—a man who had been roughly handled." "Were it my Uncle Bob?" cried Hasarfbal, lifting a swollen face to fata. "Dear lad, I don't know," said the Judge sympathetically. "It were Uncle Bert)! I know it were my Uncle Bob! I must go find him! 7 and Hannibal slipped from tbe judge's lap and ran for bis rifle and bundle. "Stop a bit!" cried tbe Judge. "Now, If it was your Uncle Bob, he'll come back the moment he is able to travel. Meantime, you must remain under my protection while we investigate this man Slosson."

It shall be unlawful for any board of election commissioners to have printed On any official election ballot prepared for tbe use of the voters at any November, spring, charter or other election the name of any candidate unless suoh candidate was elected under tbe authority of this act, and this prohibition shall operate against any candidate selected in a mass oonvetionn or by any so called independent voters at caucus or convention." That 15 per cent olause will make it quite difficult in some counties for the minority parties to secure a ticket\There seems to be many interpretations as to what that 15 per cent really means, whether it is the per cent ot tb* party vote or the candidate vote* seems to be the question* Norma Curiett and Dr. H.

S. W. Smith of Pontiac is in the race for renomination. Mr. Smith has proved himself to be the right man in the right place. Always on the right side of every question of national importance, he has always worked for the best interests of his con stituents. There was never a request made by any person in the sixth district to him for his Official assistance but what received from him prompt attention and a reply and if he could aid in any way he was always ready. He espoused the cause of rural mail delivery in its infancy and did as much as any member of congress to make it general so that the farmers of the country could be in touch with the whole world every day. His personal work in congress for the reduction of the cost of carrying the mail on the railroads of the country resulted in a saving of over five millions of dollars. The old soldiers of the district have reason to appreciate his service to them. In fact, he has been a true representative of all the people ot the sixth district, and we predict his nomination at the primaries and his election in November.—Livingston Republican. Norbert Lavey who has been in Fowierville witb Jas. Roche for some time helping him train his horses at the fair grounds there was borne tbe first of the week. A. F.

Most or this lumber is No. 1. \ ^ *0> Keep to the Right Just remember that the safe way is always to Keep to the Right If an automobile comes up behind you and wants to pass, Keep to the Right. The woods are f nil of automobiles these days. As yet only a few farmers have purchas ed machines, but thousands of farmers are looking into the matter and in tbe next five years will be driving machines. There will be hundreds in use very soon. There is only one safe way, Keep to the Right. No matter who comes up behind, keep to the right side of the street, to the right side of the road, to the right side of the sidewalk and you will always be safe. If you are passing a team or a rig always turn to the left. Just these two rules will save many a mishap. Always slow down on coming to a street crossing and look for the man coming at right angles on the cross street. Also in turning a comer keep to right side of the street—go clear around |he intersection to the right and you will be in no danger and will endanger nobody. - ••.•'•JT M-VMXV / FOB A L I T T L E BIT O F MOSEY •t: We make a special e&orf; to make reaoh as far as possible an^or^sr eroise care in buying just what is needed sides, we are careful to keep tbe best qtialtty %y Come in and see ns. •A ALWAYS IN THE MARKET FOB BUTTER AN0&fi$ «S)e 1^.« '.f r". •'Ml S t a r t l i n g S i l o S e n s a t i o n ; N e w S a g i n a w F e a t u r e Anchoring the base of stave silos as the ^ ^ : | r o ^ M anchor for centuries the great oak—the final ;Sia9p til making complete the stave silo* ^ Eventually all silo users recognize the J&eit that the stave silo keeps silage perfectly ^ am| to overcome the last objection, the the stave silo blowing down, ^and tomak^*** even better and stronger 3 ¾ we hav#J&$ eagerly searching for new ideas.

And there, In the rain, by that raging torrent whence he had drawn her aa it were from the jaws of death by the power of his arm, in the presence of the God above them, this man and thh3 women looked at each other and fife" for both' of' them was ho longer the'same. its approach. A t best the three i n the camp could not have discovered It until ft was high In tbe heavens. Now e clouds #$re already approaching ;e noonday sun. Kirkby was alive to e situation at once. He had the rare ability of men of action of awakening with all his faculties at instant command. He did not have to rub his eyes and wonder where he was, and speculate as to what was to bo done. The moment tbat his eyes, following Pete's outstretched arm, discovered the black mass of clouds he ran toward Mjs. Maitland and standing on no cerimony he shool; her vigorously :fcy the shoulder. / "We'll have to run f o r our lives, ma'am," he said brieuy. "Pete, drive the stoc*: up on the hills, fur as you kin, the hosses pertfklei?? Siey'll be more to us an' them bur roe'must take keer of themselves." Pete needed no urging. He was off like a shot in the direction of the improvised corral. He loosed the horses from their pickets and started them up the steep trail that led down from the hogback to the camp by the water's edge. He also tried to ctart the burros he hag Just yggndfid "J}'{ft ths lame direction. Some of them would j go and some of them would not He I had his hands full in an instant. gMean while Kirkby did not linger by "he. side* of Mrs. Maitland. W i t h i n - redible agility for so old a man he an ov^r to the tent where the stores* wensjkept and began picking out such articles of provision as he could easiest carry. "Come ovei* here, Mrs. Maitland,*' he cried. "We'll have to carry up on the* hill somethin* to keep us from starvin' till we get back to town. We hadn't orter camped In this yere .pocket noways, but who'd ever expected anything like this now?" "What do you fear?" asked the woman,, joining him as she spoke and waiting for his directions. "Looks to me like a cloudburst," was the. answer. "Creek's pretty full now, an' if she does break everything below yere HI go to hell on a run." It was evidence of his perturbation and anxiety that he used such language, which, however, in the emergency did not seem unwarranted even to the refined ear of Mrs. Maitland. "Is it possible?" she exclaimed. M 'Taint only possible, It's sartin. Now, ma'am," he hastily bundled up a lot of miscellaneous provisions in a small piece of canvass, tied it up and handed it to ber. "That'll be for you," ned his own old battered, soiled rain clothes and bad grabbed up Pete's. "I brbught the children's- coats along," said Mrs. Maitland, extending three others, "Good," said Kirkby. "Now we'll take our packs a n ' ^ - " "Do you think there is any danger to Robert?" " "He'll git nothin' worse 'n a wettin'/' returned the old man confidently. "If we'd pitched the tents up on the hog back, that's all we'd a been in for." "I have to leave the tents and all the things," said Mrs. Maitland. "You can stay with them," answered Kirkby. dryly, "but if what I t h i n k ' s goin' to happen comes off, you won't have no need of nothin' no m o r e - Great God, here she comes." As he spoke there was a sudden, swift downpour of rain, not in drops, hut in a torrent Catching up his own pack and motioning the woman to do likewise with her load, Kirkby caught her by the hand, and half led, halt dragged her up the steep trail from the brook to the ridge which bordered the side of the canon. The canon was Q^uch wider here than further up and there was mucH more room and much more space for the water to spread. Yet, they had to hurry for their lives as it was. They had gbne up scarcely a hundred feet when the disgorgement of the heavens took place. The water fell with such force, directness and continuousness that it almost beat them down. It ran over the trail down the side of the mountain in sheets like water falls. It required all the old man's skill and address to keep himself and companion from losing their footing and falling down into the seething tumult below. The tents went down in an instant. Where there had been a pleasant bit of Meadow land was now a muddy, tossing lake of black water. Some of the horses and most of the burros which Pete had been unable to do anything with were engulfed in a moment. The two on the mountain side could see them swimming for dear life as they swept down the canon. Pete himself, with a few of the animals, was already scrambling up to safety. Speech was Impossible between the noise of the falling rain and the incessant peals of thunder, but by persistent gesture, old Kirkby urged the terrified, trembling woman up the trail until they finally reached the top of the hog back, where under the poor shelter of the stunted pines,they to the merciless fury of tbe storm, a thought came suddenly to Mrs. Maitland. She leaned over and caught the frontiersman by his wet sleeve. Seeing that she wished to speak to him, he bent his head toward her lips. "Enid," she cried, pointing down the canon. She had not thought before of the position of the girl. Kirkby, who had not forgotten her, but who had instantly realized that he could do nothing 4or her, shook his bead, lifted his eyes and solemnly pointed his finger up to the gray skies. He had said nothing to Mns. Maitland before. What was the use of troubling her. * "God only kin help her," he cried. "She's beyond the help of man." Ah, indeed, old trapper, whence came the confident assurance of that dogmatic statement? For as it chanced, at that very moment the woman for whose peril your heart was wrung was bein^ lifted out of the torrent by meadow land, trunks of trees torn up by the roots had lodged against them. It was a scene of desolate and miserable confusion and disaster. "Oh, Robert, don't you think she may be safe?" asked Mrs. Maitland. "There's Just a chance, I think, that she may have suspicioned the storm an' got out of the canon," suggested the old frontiersman. "A slim chance," answered Maitland gloomily. "God, I wouldn't have had this happen for anything on earth." '^Nor me. I'd a heap ruther It had got me than her," said Kirkby simply. "I didn't see it coming," continued Maitland, nodding as if Kirkby's statement were to be accepted as a matter of course, as indeed it was. "We were on the other slope of the mountain until it was almost overhead." "Nuther did I.

Maitland bitterly reproached himself for having allowed the girl to go alone, and In those self-reproaches old Kirkby Joined. They were too wet and cold to sleep. There was no shelter and II was not until early in the morning they succeeded in kindling a fire. Meanwhile the men talked the situation over very carefully.

The two men from the east had to go back with the others, although they pleaded gallantly to be allowed man to man and then Robert Maitland, standing in the midst of the group, bowed his head in the sunny mornipg, for the sky again was clear, and .^poured out a brief prayer that God would prosper them, that they would find the child and that they would all be together again in health; and happiness.

After the .first awful deluge of the cloudburst It moderated slightly, but the hard rain came down steadily, the wJnd rose as well, and in spite of their oilskins they were soon wet and cold. It waa impossible to make a fire, there waa no place for them to go, nothing to be done. They could only remain wtiere they were aad wait After a half hour of exposure a man's hand! And, yet, who shall say that the old hunter was not right, and that the man himself, as men of old have been, was sent from God? "It can't be," began Mrs. Maitland in great anguish for the girl she had grown to love. "Ef she seed the storm an' realized what it was, an' had sense enough to climb up the canon wall," answered the other, "she won't be no worse ofTn we are; ef not— Mrs. Maitland had only to look down into the seething cauldron to understand the possibility of that "If." "Oh,", she cried, "let us pray for her that she sought the hills." "I've been a doin' it," said the old man gruffly. He had a deep vein of piety in him. but, like other rich ores, it had to be mined for in the depths before It was apparent By slow degrees the water subsided, and after a long while the rain ceased, a heavy mist lay on the mountains and the night approached without toy further appearance of the veiled sun. Toward evening Robert' Maitland, with the three men and the three children, Joined the wretched trio above the camp. Maitland, wild with excitement and apprehension, had pressed on ahead of the rest It was a glad-faced man indeed who ran the last few steps of the rough way and clasped his wife in his arms, but as be did so he noticed that one was missing. "Great God," he cried, releasing his wife, "Where is Enid ?" "She went down the canon early this mornin' intendin' to stay all day," slowly aad reluctantly answered oid Kirkby. " a n 1 — - " He paused there. It wasn't necessary for him to say anything more. Maitland walked to the edge of the trail and looked down Into thervalley.

"I jpushed on ahead, George, Bradshaw and Phillips are bringing Bob and tbe girls. We must search the canon." "It can't be done tonight, old man," said Kirkby. "I tell'you we can't wait, Jack I" "We've got to, I'm as willln* to lay down my life for tbat young gal as anybody on earth, but in this yere mi8t*an' as black a night a& It's goin' to be, we couldn't go ten rod without killin' ourselves an' we couldn't see nothin' noways."

"You say/' asked Maitland, as they surveyed\the canon,- "that she went down the stream?" "She said she was goin' down. I showed her how to cut across the mountains an' avoid the big bend. I've got no reason to suspicion that she didn't go w'ere she said," "Nevertheless," said Maitland, "It. is barely poaslble that she may have changed her mind and gone up tbe canon." "Yep, tho feemale mind does often change unexpected like," returned the other, "but w'ether she went up or down, tho only place for us to look, I take It, is down, for if she's alive, if she got out of the canon and is above us, nacherly she'd follow it down yere an' we'd a seed her by this time. If she didn't git out of tbe canon, why, to remain with the two who were to take up the hunt for Enid. Maitland might have kept them with him, but that meant retaining a larger portion of the scanty supplies that had been saved and he was compelled against his will to refuse their requests. Leaving barely enough to subsist Maitland and Kirkby for three or four days, or until the return of the relief party, the groups separated at daybreak. "Oh, Robert," pleaded his wife, as he kissed her good bye, "take cars o f yourself, but find Enid."

T A B L E S , S e a F ' a n c U c o 1TT PERSON with little of this worlds goods, dependent upon himself for a livelihood, has no more important possession than his health; therefore, he should husband it with the greatest possible care. He may. skimp easily enough on his food to a limit, i. e., a point io go beyond which would jeopardize his health. Should his finances be such that he must either go for some time without plain, nourishing food (if he be a person possessing no more than an average constitution), or without some new/garment, it would be far wiser for him to again clean and repair his old garment and wear it until he may have a new one, without injury to his health. Moreover, one dressed in clean,-well-cared-for clothes is never really poorly dressed, even though the clothes show wear. Even should a person deprive himself of proper food, and in that way manage to make a good appearance for a time, thus enabling himself ta secure a start which would make him a financial success in life, if ill health came with or before the success, as a result of his having undermined his constitution through lack of proper nourishment, what real pleasure or satisfaction could he have? Another point: every one knows that there is a wonderful satisfaction, which is often beneficial, in appearing prosperous; but, personally, how I appear to myself is quite as important as how I appear to others in making me feel satisfied. I am sure, therefore, that with worn but clean and well-cared-for clothing, and a stomach not asking, for what is rightfully its due, I could make a much more self-respecting appearance than I could with-the most up-to-date raiment covering an abused and complaining stomach. I know if I were hungry I should make a gaunt and hungry appearance, though I might be ever so well dressed. M a n y M e n o w L a c k o f R e a s o n i n g * P o w e r B y E. L.

It seems N $ h \ V ' *° m e *'n ^ e m a J o r ^ y of cases they do not. Man in his monumental egotism has placed himself far above animals in intellect and reasoning power, but often he shows himself absolutely devoid of reason. Take, for instance, a man who is all ambition for hoarding up money. He has worked the best part-of his years, spent all his energy, denied himself the necessaries of life, sacrificed even his children upon the altar of greed, and accumulates enough filthy lucre to last,.l^m^(W^ years if he should live that long. But. do$e he stop tryin|^|^|^|^^ money? Does he realize that he has fofatyt; he cea^>j^|tarj|^ upon his fellow man who is less fortuna^^haii himself? M^i^deo^y not. The lower animals take better care of their offspring. Where, then, does man's reason come in ? And at last when he dies some dissolute relative will squander this money that comes to him through inheritance. And this dissolute one wili/also be totally devoid of reasoning power, as he will spend it all as fast as possible in riotous living and then be destitute and broken down in health in his old age. I could cite many more instances where man bhows lack of reasoning powers. The more I think of these cases, the more my heart goes out to these poor dumb animals who are very much maligned and misjudged through the colossal ignorance of mighty man. In spite of all that may be said to the contrary one's first duty in life is to one's f V j m * « self. You should see to it that your .men- ^ tal and physical affairs are at all times in prime condition. « ^ . The patriot somewhat correctly Stella J U U i y you that your first duty in life is to youi country; to be patriotic, to yell yourself hoarse when the flag is raised on the Fourth of July. But your yell will be the squeak of a mouse if you have frittered away your lungs by living and sleeping in canned air. Again, truthfully said, your first duty is to your family. The great warrior Lee forsook the Union he loved so much for the blood kin he yet-loved better. But how can you, with impoverished body, be a good parent or breed up the race or escape seeing your children a curse to themselves if they are constant patrons of the doctor, and drug store or are walking hospitals arid too early prey for the undertaker? 'Your employer properly claims that during business hours your first duty is to the work in hand. Once get your body oxygenated by living right, no small part of which is to live and sleep in the open air, and all vwork becomes a pleasure instead' of drudgery. You will get to work on time, instead of a few minutes late, as is the custom with canned air sleepers, followed by the inevitable promotion, raise in salary and success in life. After all, one's first duty is to get well and stay well. A recent article in a prominent maga* ^ine dwelt upon the necessity of disinfecting books giyen out in the public libraries.

Well, and subject entirely to his orders and directions as * to the management thereof, In , | order that he may have the full ] enjoyment and benefl^ thereof as*J 1 long as he may live." NE W YORK.—Behind a will filed in the Surrogate's office the other day lies the story of a life of romance which did not even die with death. The will was ma'de by Katherlne Lee Doyle Barringer, wife for five months of Walter M. Barringer, a rich member of the Chicago Stock Exchange. She left nothing to her husband out of her $100,000 estate, not that they were not the best of friends. But she did leave to her sweetheart of other days her home. It is a beautiful place at Deal Beach, N . J., and Mr. Weil is to have it for his own as long as he lives in memory of the happy days when they loved each other but could not marry. It is a story of love spoiled by a will of long ago. Some years ago young Mr. Weil inherited an estate which is today estimated In the hundred thousands. There was a string to the money. He could not marry out of his faith, and he was a Hebrew. Miss Doyle was a Protestant. They met. It was love at first sight. And' then the provisions of the other will—Mr. Weil could marry a girl ot the same birth as himself. Their Sacrifice for Love. "Very well." he said to Miss Doyle, "if 1 can't marry you I won't marry anybody.'* She told him her love, too, and more. ' T i l give it all up for you," said Mr. Weil. "And I won't let you," answered Mies Doyle, "much as I love you/1 Poor Mr. Weil fairly wept as he confronted the'beautiful girl who was giving her love that he might keep his estate. And few could have blamed him. There were few fairer girls in New York ten years ago than "Kitty'* —Miss Doyle. She was tall, ravenhaired, with a complexion of ivory ,nd rotfe, a lissome figure and the poise ot a princess. Many a New York swain had succumbed to her charms only to be jturaed down. For ten years young Mr. Weil kept up. his suit, but it was all to no purpose— Miss Doyle absolutely refused to marry Wm and force him the loss of his estate. They were together constantly, and their friends, not knowing the provisions of the will, predicted that they would soon be married. But Katherlne Doyle's love was too great for that^=she declined to marry a man only to disinherit him. , Few Knew the Secret. Things went along for several years. Young Weil showered gifts upon the girl he knew would never be his bride. Many of their mutual friends wondered why there never was the announcement of an engagement—only a few in the secret actually knew the real reason why. "It can never be," answered the girl to all questions, "but more than this I can't say.'\ Sttll there was no sign of any loss of the love that each bore the other. Mr. Weil carried Miss Doyle's photograph In a gold locket and a chain Just as a man would wear a watch. They were always together—out on an automobile jaunt, at the theater, in the restaurants, at the beaches—everywhere. Now^ Miss Doyle's family are well to do. Her.sister, Mrs. Julia H . Plaacke, lives in a handsome Colonial house at No. H I Harrison avenue, Jersey City, Her mother, Mrs. Lucille C. Gorman, has a home at No. 3 West Eighty-third street, New York City. And JVfiss Doyle had a fortune of her own—in fact, she had received something like $100,000 from Mr. Weil in Jewels and real estate alone. Southings ran along. Miss Doyle'a Wealthy Woman. By judicious'investments Miss Doyle increased her estate until it came to be worth more and more. Some say today that it may realize as much as $400,000, but a more conservative reckoning will make it nearer $100,000. No estimate of the amount of its value or the value of the real estate has been filed with the will. Then came a sudden changer--Miss Doyle met Walter M . Barringer, a wealthy member of the Cl/icago Stock Exchange, who makes his headquarters most of the time in/New York and at the Holland House./ Barringer, good-looking, well-dressed man under forty, promptly fell in love with the fetching New York girl, and it wasn't long before he proposed marriage to her. j$ "There's Mr. Weil/' answered the girl. Mr. Barringer knew all about the old days and the love of the two for each other; and he knew, too, that they could never marry. He would listen to npne of Miss Doyle's arguments, and finally she succumbed. Last November, they were quietlyvmarried. Mr» Weil sent his congratulations as soon as he heard o f 4 b e ^ w i d i n g ^ b e had see* Miss DoyJe .the dayjtefore and, |jie hadnt said a word to him ajfout f Honeyjr.opn Ended by, Deatf). There was a b#ef honeymoon and a long- trip to Chicago* where the couple t were ideally happy. It was a bad winter* and young Mrs. Barringer felt tbe Chicago cold keenly. She went to her home at Peal Beach in the hope of recuperating. It availed little. Soon she failed so suddenly that her husband was sent for, and he arrived in time to be with her when she passed away with pneumonia on April 23 last. After the funeral the bride's will was found. It gave her home as at ^No. 3 West Eighty-third street, and recited that there were kept .her clothes, paintings, furniture and jewels. She left $1,000 each to her two uncles, Donald Swain and Chapin Swain; $500 to her cousin, Earl Swain, and $100 to Delia Dimly, her maid. Then came the provision leaving to her mother, Mrs. Gorman, the Deal Beach property, with the exception that it was to be Mr. Weil's during hfcL lifetime. Everything else was left to Mrs. Barringer's mother, who was named as executrix. It was the will that revealed the earlier romance in the dead woman's life. Mr. Barringer Satisfied. "I don't think there was anything peculiar* about my wife's w i l l ^ said Mr. Barringer. M I knew nothing of Its provisions beforehand. I suppose she* thought that as I was comfortably off and did not need her money she had better leave it to some one who did. "We had only been married about five months when she died. There had never been any quarrel between us. We loved each other devotedly and were sweethearts to the last." Mr. Weil lives at No. 644 Madison avenue; New York, and makes his business headquarters with the stock brokerage firm of H . Content & Co., No. 751 Fifth avenue. He said that he had been friends of the family for years and that there was nothing strange in that the use of the Deal Beach home had been willed to him. More than that he did not care to be quoted. "Kate was a splendid girl," declared Mrs. Althea Geddes, one of the witnesses to the will, who lives with Mrs. Gorman. "Her taking off was all so sad, and just when she seemed BO happily, married." And now it takes the formal legal wording of the will to recall the romance of other days. H A R D W O R K O F A U T H O R S H I P Years of Patient Preparation Required . to Produce a Book That Will Endure. Those who have never carried a book through the press can form no idea of the amount of toil it involves. Livingstone, the African explorer, declared that he would rather,cross the African continent again than undertake to write another book. For the statistics of the negro popu-, lation of South America alone Owen is said to have examined more than 150 volumes. It is said one of Longfellow's poems that it was wrritten in four weeks, but that he spent six months in revising and condensing it. Bulwer declared that he had rewritten some of his briefest productions as many as eight or nine times before their publication. One of Tennyson's poems was rewritten 50 times. Gibbons spent 20 years on his "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire;" Adam Clark, 26 years on his "Commentary," and Carlyle 15 years on his "Frederick the Great." A great deal of time is consumed in reading before some books are prepared. George Eliot read 1,000 books before she wrote "Daniel Deronda." Alison read 2,000 before he completed his history. Modest Kit. Christopher (Kit) Carson touched the wild life of the weBt at more points than any other person of any time. But he was always modest, declares a writer in the Century Magazine, and disliked anything which savored of flattery. One day In 1862 the great frontiersman chanced to stop at Maxwell's ranch on the Cimarron river, in New Mexico, a well-known, point, on the Santa Fe trail, when a regular army officer of high rank who was there, ex* claimed exuberantly: "So this is the distinguished K i t Carson who has made so many Indians run!" Carson silenced his eulogist by quietly remarking, "Yes, I've made some Indians run, but a good deal of the time they were running after me." An Expert on Eggs. "When is an egg bad?' is the query sent out from the pure food department at Washington. This is tbe Downs (Kan.) News' answer: "Scientists differ as to the exact moment when decay sets in, but generally speaking, when it explodes with a A J sound not unlike that of a cannon cracker; when Its breath resembles that of a ward politician the morning after election; when its interior mechanism no longer retains its party solidarity; when the atmosphere surrounding it causes you to think involunarrily of the Lorimer investigation—then, we believe we are safe in saying the egg IB bad."

I have known the time when a sudden sight draft for less than four figures would have seriously embarrassed me." "You figure in the cents In that statement, I suppose/' said the ptucjio" loafer. r . . "I might even go as far as that/'-assented the artist. "Did I ever tell y o i i how I got my start?" he continued, "Well, I'll tell you; it was in triplicate portrait work." "Portraits of triplets,?" inquired the Btudio loafer. "Dobber told me he did dime museum posters, too, at one time." ~ 'He ought to have stuck to that branch of art/' remarked the artist* "No, you misunderstand me. I'll tell you how It was. There was one, win* ter I was pretty well on my uppers. A t that time I got acquainted with GJotto< Parkinson, and I tell you he was a godsend. He had a studio In the Grosvenor and he didn't use it nights, besides having a samovar that he got i a the Ghetto and plenty of alcohol. T h e Grosvenor doesn't favor light housekeeping, but I was pretty careful hovt I threw my scraps out of the window.* "One day Parkinson gave an exhibit. He knew quite a few people in respectable circles and he thought therewas a chance that some one of them might buy a picture of his if they got well under the influence of a proper" art atmosphere and Russian tea. I stuck up a few little things of my own with his to furnish the art atmosphere and he provided the the samovar. It turned. There was a co* those present aad' to the point of oi portrait of her tefljj "She-brought hinf next day. Parkinson was' low and he let me have the shop for the job.

A t last I got it.j "Two days later the picture was; done and the sigh of relief that I heaved made the windows rattle, t notified the baroness and,she and the baron came to look* at it. He seemed' to have been brought under compulsion and to, be but mildly interested- I had learned that he was merely stepfather to the brat, so I didn't wonder so much at it. But the baronessthrew fits of ecstasy over the picture and ordered two more at the sameprice, after trying in vain to beat me? down. "I won't tell you what I went, through within the next month with, the heir apparent, how day by day t grew to loathe the little wretch more - and more. The dear angel had performed a large variety of interesting: tricks around the place to relieve the' monotony of the sittings, and he wound up by coming early one afternoon and coloring Parkinson's cher*- ished Florentine prints in oil in o u r absence. When I remonstrated he gave me a choice line of sass, whereupon I took my little man across m y • knee and laid merrily on. "Nearly two weeks later the coafc baron caught me in.

B u r n s D e t e c t i v e A g e n c y Ay DAVID CORNELL M Y F I R S r C A S E {Copyright by tbe IsternailoxuU Press BUXWMI) "Getting? the Man Who Hung a Jury Up to the day that the manager of the New York office of the Burns Detective Agency handed me an order for |6p expense mon£y and started me Dip the Hudson river on my first manhunt, I had never Mono anything in tny life that might have been suspected of even remotely resembling detective work. I probably knew as little about the business as anybody in the country, and I had never had any yearning or intention to become a detective. But I was 36 years old^ out of Work, almost broke—in New York! —had a family, to support and, most Important of all, I happened to have met the celebrated detective who is the head of the agency by which I came to be employed, the largest reputable private detective agency in the country. That was why I became, and am, a private detective. ' One morning I found myself a t \ 2 d street and Broadway, looking at *the newspaper bulletins and wondering how long "my money would last and where i n the world I should turn for a Job. -One of tbe bulletins read: "Detective Burns Nabs More Bribers/' That bulletin did the trick. "He may remember me," I thought, "and he may know of a job to fit me." I went straight down town to the Office of the agency of which the big man is the head and asked if he was in. , nt of him?" asked -£aid: "I know Job." fcr, went into an a while, and reappeW* SlgjJ^?ring an application blank. The office, and everything in it, was just as it would be in an up-to-date business office. The business of the place might as well have been selling Insurance as hunting criminals. The application blank had all the conventional questions of such a paper, and In addition these: "Were you ever connected with any police force, or any detective agency? Are you acquainted with any police officials, or any one employed by detective agencies? "Were you ever employed by any railroad? "Do you know anything about the newspaper business? "Have you a large number of acquaintances, and can you keep your occupation from your friends and acquaintances ?" " F i l l that out," Said the office manager. He had not even asked me if I wanted to become a detective, and but for tbe last questions on the blank I would not have known that he was considering me as an applicant for such a position. "I've never done any detective work in my life," I said. "Good," he said. "If you had, we wouldn't have you. F i l l out the blank." When it was filled out he took it and disappeared again. He was back in three minutes. "All right," he said, sitting down at his desk and picking up some papers. "There's a man up in Peeksville (a small town on the Hudson river near New York), who hung the jury in a damage suit. Want you to go up and get him. Here's the dope." He began to read from the papers in his hand. The gist of it was that one Kellner, a New York contractor, had done $100,000 worth of work on tbe water supply system of the town of Peeksville. When the time* came fpr him to render his bill he had been approached by one of the town's political powers, Bruley by name, and commissioner of public works, who let. It be known that if he would make out a bill for $130,000, it would be allowed i h full without protest or question, and that $5,000 of the $30,000 overcharge would go to him as a reward for placing certain officials in the> way of fingering $25,000 of the people's money. Kellner had-refused. When he rendered his rightful bill for $100,000 the powers i n the city hall calmly Cut it to $85,000, claiming tbat portions ot the work were poorly done; that parts of the contract had "been awarded Illegally, ,but i n reality merely getlag even with Kellner for refusing to assist them t o some easy graft Kellner promptly sued. H e had a ease a6 Strong, and public opinion was so strongly aroused over the exposed scandal, that recovery of his 113,000 seemed a foregoes conclusion. But the would-be grafters had managed to place'the nigger in the woodpile in the shape ofnpne of their clan on the jury. Eleven of the jurymen on the first ballot had voted for a full judgment for Kellner. The twelfth man had voted "no" on that ballot, and on the second, and the third, and -on every,ballot for the next twentylour hours* He had hung the jury, and the case was a mis*triaK The man's name was Harry Donlin, a real estate agent. ^fifcat'i the^nan yiu've got to get," said the office manager. "He did the trick; and Iw's been s e n d i n g money since* We've r 4 to have a full confession from him that we can use as evidence, and it's got to be i n writing and sworn to, or told in the hearing of at least two people: who gave him the bribe, when, and what for. And we've got to get it i n a hurry, too. because tfte new trial is coming on in less than a month. Have you got any money?" I didn't have enough to be worth mentioning. He drew a p i n k p a d to him, wrote out an order on the cashier for $50 and handed it to me. "Get up there right away," he said. "You can get a train every hour on the even hour. Here are some report forms. Write a full report of your doings every day and mail it every evening. Don't forget -to make your report cover all your time." That was how I entered this business. £ had been accustomed to seeing things move with businesslike expediency in other offices, but this beat all records. Thirty minutes before I had entered the office inquiring for the chief. I had not seen,the chief, had not been questioned.; but here I was handed $50, sent out on what seemed to me like a complicated case of detective work, and being calmly told to get a full confession from a man I knew no more about than about Adam. "They are Just trying me out to see how I act," I thought, as I took the money order. So I said: " A l l right. When shall I report here again?" "We will let you know," was the answer. v ~ ' I caught a three o'clock train on the New York Central and took a seat in the smoking car. Across -the aisle lolled a tall, lanky, good-natured young fellow whose ticket, stuck in the seat in front of him, showed that he was going to Peeksville, my destination. On thfe, chance that he lived in the town, or knew something about it, I took out my pipe, stuffed it, and began to search, ostentatiously, for the matches I pretended not to have. I drew his attention first, then said: "You don't happen to have an extra match, do you?" "Sure," ha said, and began to dig. I crossed over and sat down bes^fe him. As I accepted the match and prepared to light my pipe I stuck my ticket in the sea*t before us, where he could not fail to see it. "Going to Peeksville, too?" he said, genially. "Yes," I said, puffing away. "You going'there?" "Yep," he said. "I live there. You don't live there, do you?" "No," I answered. "Thought not," said my friend. "I know, eV€rgiody there. Peeksville is a might)Mt0ceslittle place." He looked me over, I was prosperous looking. "Say," he said, "if you're thinking of buying a place up there you want to see Donlin by all means. He's the agent for the best real estate bargains in town. I'm a friend of his, and I know he's right." Donlin was the man I was after. I pretended to misunderstand the name. "Who? 'Donaldson'?" "Donlin," he corrected. "Harry Donlin. I'll introduce you to him if you wish when we get up there." I did my best to get on a friendly basis with my good natured young friend, and by the time we neared our destination I knew that his name was Daley, he knew that mine was Cornell, and we were getting along so well that when we stepped from the train we walked straight across the street to have a friendly glass of beer. In the barroom we ran into a short, heavy set man, with a nervous, twitching mouth, and • restless eyes. He was one of the most worried looking men I have ever seen. "Ah, hello, Harry!" bawled Daley. "Say, Harry, I want to introduce you to an old friend of mine from Chicago. Mr. Cornell, like to have you meet Mr. Donlin. M r . Donlin's an old pal of mine, too." Mr. Donlin's expression relaxed a little when he heard that I was "an old friend of Daley's." It was obviously a relief to him to hear that 1 was known by one of his "pals," and he showed it by greeting me i n a hearty manner, and by insisting on buying drinks. I told him that 1 might be interested i n a house i n Peeksville. and he began to treat me with considerable deference. When I left him for the evening* we had made 'an appointment for ten o'clock next morning to make a tour of inspection of the desirable houses for sale i n Peeksville. We drove through the, town and looked at half a dozen little houses. I was not particularly impressed with any of them, Of at least pretended not to be. There was one that I told Donlin might do—if I decided that the town was to my liking. F o ^ t h e next two days he spent about h a l t ^ h t e t i m e and some of his money proving to me that he was a good fellow, and thai the town was full Osgood fellows. On the second day he waB calling me by my first naxde, and I was reciprocating. He was an easy-going, not over-brilliant Irishman, who apparently was afraid ever to become entirely sober, and who never wanted to be without a congenial companion to talk to. H e was plainly living under ja,;, great strain. •: Ou the third day a letter f r o m the Office directed me to *ome inVJtp the in Peeksville for the purpose,©! keep- Nan Vfliiir r\*Hi%*x +La4 niT&nitiat New York office that evening. ^ ,¾ . T***A loaf td«i*ila KJ%. "Go in and aee the, chief," s l i d the office manager when I reported. The chief was in his private office with my reports on his desk .before him. "Well,'; he said,^ without troubling about/a greeting,*"you're showing considerable speed for a big fellow. 1 guess you'd better begin to do the crook stall right away. You're from Chicago. You got into a little trouble out there and you had to leave. You are keeping out of sight of the Chicago authorities, and you picked out Peeksville as a likely place to hide In. You understand, don't you?" : "I'm to pose as a crook?" "Certainly. This man Ponlin is a natural blabber, who'll talk if you get close to him. You have got a good start by pretending to be looking for a house. Now, tomorrow you stall about being afraid of going out so much; keep under cover. Stay in your room a lot. Begin to fight shy of the house proposition. Let your man know that you're a little afraid of him. Keep away from him. Make him come to you. Then let him^emp it out of you that you're hiding, and that you cleaned up big on a crooked deal in Chicago. We'll have a letter written to you from the Chicago office. Lose this letter where your man will find and read it, and your stall as a crook will make go^l. And if he begins to show any inclination to tell you his own secrets, at. first tell him you don't want to hear them; that you've got troubles enough of your own. Understand? And the next time you come into the office cover your tracks by going through some building with two entrances before coming here." I went back to Peeksville, and the some iort of trouble, and ihit I was Ing o u J l ot s i g h t ^ The ^ast wfords he 'said w i r e ; ' "Don't worry, old man. We're your friends. The bunch here is right." Two days later the fake letter came to me from the Chicago office. It was "mailed* in a plain envelope and professed to come from my brother. It read: v "Dear Dave: "I have been talking with Mr. Grimmer, and you are mistaken in believing that he only wants to hurt you; all that he cares 'bout is getting his money back. I told him tbat he could take his choice, either go on and stir up a lot of noise and discredit you here forever, and get no money back, or else get his money and keep quiet. He said: 'Give me my money; that's all I rare about' I then told him that he was mistaken when he paid the amount you had got was $38,000. 1 said that you had got less than $25,- 000, and that in moving around the country you had spent $3,000, so all you had was about $22,000. He didn't believe It, but he is so greedy for money that he agreed to drop everything, and sign a paper clearing you if he gets back $22,000. "Now, I think that was a pretty fine piece of business on my part, and that it is the best thi^g you can do. Even if you go into court and fight him and show him up for what he is, he is going to show you up, and you'll be ruined i f he does. If you return $22,- 000 you clean up $16,000; which will help some. My advice is that you do this. At all events let me know at once what you are going to do. "Don't forget to burn this. "Your brother, " F R E D . " Donlin took me buggy riding to look jects. As soon as we reached N York I made a pretext of calling 'up to find at what time the boats left, and called up the office and told the whole situation. "Well," said the manager in a casual sort of way, "we ought to get him tonight on the boat. I'll reserve a stateroom for you on the C. W. Morse, of the Hudson Line. You just hold your man off until you get him in there, and then get him to talk. That's all you need to trouble about. We'll do the rest. You get your boat at 6:30 at One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street, and when you enter your stateroom take off your hat and wipe your forehead so our men will have a spot down* WeU, Jtbere'a one satisfaction* I'll take some of 'em with'me when. X go down." * nS "Hew much did you get out ot ttP demanded Donlin suddenly. I looked at him and knew he had read the. letter. "I'll come through with about $19,« 000," I said "But I wouldn't go through this *orvy again forr ten[limes that much." "Hell," he gi^wled. "And you're kicking! What would you say to taking a measly little twenty-five hundred from a dirty bunch oi rich crooka and going around with everybody suspecting you of having done it?" "Say, Cornell," he said, striking the side of his chair. "You think you've been steered up against it and thrown down, but let me tell you that you don't know what a raw deal is. Here now, listen to me. I want to tell you this; you've got to listen. Why, darn Jt, man, you've got to listea. I'll go crazy if I don't tell somebody." He loosened his collar and went OIL "Here a little over a month age \old man Smythe, our mayor, and next day I stayed i n my room. I had my meals sent up and sent, a boy out for some magazines to read. I went out for a walk at night, keeping entirely, to the dark side' streets. The clerk eyed me rather strangely as I returned, and I knew that soon Donlin would hear about my strange conduct The next day I did the same thing. In the evening there was a knock at my door. "Who is it?" I demanded, sharply. "Ponlin," came the answer. "What's the matter, old man? Feeling sick?" After delaying a moment I opened the door a little, looked out, as if to assure myself that It was Donlin, and let h i m in. H e looked at me curiously. "You aren't sick, are you?" he said. "No," I seid. "I Just stayed i n my room, that's all." He kept looking at me steadily "Anything gone wrong?" he said. . "Oh, no," I said. "No, I Just get tired of showing myself—of running around so much;" I had never had any experience in acting before, but let me say here that such success as I have bad as a detective has been due more to the fact that I possess a certain natu: i talent for playing parts i n a way VJ win the confidence of the man-I am after, than anything else. Before Ponlin left me tljat evening he had fully drawn the c o l l u s i o n thai I was in at another house that afternoon. We on you and know that everything is * . . . mmr~ — mm • « . « . ,4-: were chums by this time. When I left him I managed to slip the letter, without the envelope, into the seat where I had been sitting without being observed. I never saw or heard of tbat letter again, but Donlin found it and read it and It did Its work, as I discovered later. One day just three weeks after I came to Peeksville, he came up to my room slightly more under the influence of liquor than usual, and told me that he had quarrelled with his wife. And through that I "got" n y man. I had won his confidence; he trusted me even before his wife. "That's been my whble trouble all the time," he said. " M y wife won't let me alone. First it's one thing she's nagging about, then another. I'd never been in any trouble if it hadn't been for her. She's always hollering about me not giving her enough money. Well, here a short time ago I had a chance to put one over, and I did— $2,500 worth. And t ^ w she starts asking rae where I got the money I'm giving her and begins to bawl me out. I quit. I just walked out, and she'll whistle another tune before I gov back." The/truth was that his wife w^s disgusted over his drinking, / "Skip out for a couple days and iot her eeol down," I suggested. "I tell yon what let's do; let's take a night boat up to Albany and hang around thfre for a couple of days. I'm getting king of tired of this place myself. What do you say?" "I'll go you," he said. "I don't care where I go. Damn i t A fellow can get into more trouble when things aren't right at home than he knows how to handle. If she was the kind of woman you could tell things to—" "Don't talk to me about that, Harry," I interrupted. "I'm the one whb knows what that means. To be frank, that's why I left Chicago, because things weren't right at home." "Yes, but take my case here," he protested. "I—" "I don't want to hear your troubles," I said. "I've got all I can do to hold down my own. Let's go down to New York on the next train and hang around there today and go up the river on the night boat." "Come on," he Baid. Had I given him a chance to talk he might have spouted out his whole story on the train going down to the city. That was all that was.troubling him; he needed somebody to whom he could tell the story of his crime. But I kept interrupting and leading the conversation away to other sub^^ruley, the commissioner of public works, and the rest of that bunch of high-binders that runs things In Peeksville, got into4 a mesB. They'd tried to get a contractor named Kellner to help them sting the city tor $30,000. He turned on ,em and wouldn't giv^e 'em a chance, and to get even with him they cut down his—charge for work on the waterworks contract $15,000. Well, he comes out and sues them. He's got a cinch case,, see, and the best they can hope for is to pack the jury and get a disagreement. "Old Smythe says, 'Donlin, you're drawn on the venire for the jury that is going to try this case. We want you on there, you understand; we want to have one of our friends oa that jury. We're glad of the chance to have you on because we know you're one of us end we all want to stick together. We will see that you get on that jury—don't worry about that—and there'll bs a little envelope slipped into your pocket as you leave here, and—the worst we want is a disagreement. Understand?'" "How long ago was this?" "Only a' little more than a month ago," he said. "Just three days before the trial—the night of May 23rd. Well, as I was saying, I went out, and When I got home I felt in my pocket and there was the envelope—with $2,500 in it." "Didn't you see them slip the envelope to you?" I aHked. "Sure," he paid. "Druley slipped It into my pocket and winked and slipped me on the shoulder when he did it. Well, they got me accepted jJor the jury all right, Then Bruloy cornea to me and s*ys: 'day, Donlin, don't forgot you'rexene. of us now. You've got to deliverthe goods/"; W e l l , I delivered the goods, a l l right. The other eleven men wanted" to kill me, but I Lung out. 'No judgment,' I said, 'or I'll stay out until Christmas.' I earned that $2,500 all right—we disagreed. And tho other day Mrs. Smythe gives a lawn ptffty and never a word about inviting Mrs. Donlin, Oh, yes, I was one of them all right—when they needed me." "Pshaw!" I said. "You hung a jury for 'em for wenty-flve hundred and now they're turnl g cold to you?" "Yes. That's the kind they are." "Pshaw!" I said. "Now let's go and get something to eat. I'm desperately h u n g r y / ^ I haven't given Donlin's complete conversation here, but only the gist of his confession. But Donlin himself had a complete typewritten report of his talk in the stateroom handed to him in the hotel in Albany two days later. The Chief and the office manager called on him unexpectedly In his room and, handing him a carbon copy of his conversation, asked him if there were any inaccuracies to be corrected in it. "I guess that's about right," said the Chief casually. "We knew all the time that the reason you hung that jury was to save those fellows, and we knew you weren't doing it for your health; but we wanted to get .you to tell us all about it yourself, se we got it when you were talking to your friend on the boat the other night. Now, Donlin, we've got the goods on you," said Burns ."You've got two chances. One is to make us) put you in prison for accepting a biJtbe; the other is to go with us and help US to make those crooks, who paid y o v pay our client his (16,000 without « s r more lawsuits. What are yon solas to do; go to jail, or come on our side?" Donlin was staring at tne report i n dazed fashion. There i t was, every word that he had said, every questina that I had asked, down i n cartas? and we had been in a locked state* room while we were talking, and he had been with me evef since. He was dumbfounded for a wfcile. Then *e expressed the universal curiosity, oyer detective work. Ho looked -XkP^jm amazement at the Chief and said: "Well! How i n the d*v11 did yet ever do it?" %: But it was not the Chiefs diftposV cion to give away ttfe tricks of the trade.

"We want to miss the work, but be on hand for the celebration." "I suppose we may confidently look to you to favor us with a few eloquent words?" said Mr. Mahaffy. the judge. "An(d why not, Solomon?" asked The opportunity he craved was not denied him. The crowd was like most .southwestern crowds of the period, and no sooner did the judge appear than there were clamorous demands for a speech. He cast a (glanced of triumph at Mahaffy, and nimbly mounted a convenient stump. He extolled the climate of middle Tennessee, ihe unsurpassed fertility of the soli; he touched on the future that awaited P'oasantville; he apostrophised the jail. * Presently the crowd drifted away *n tfie direction of the tavern.

"Now, Judge Price, you know a lieap better than to ask me that!" isho answered, shaking her head. "No offense, ma'am," said the judge, hiding his disappointment, and with Mahaffy he quitted the bar. The sudden noisy clamor ot many voices, high-pitched and excited, floated out to them under the hot sky. " i wonder*—" began -the judge, and paused as he saw the crowd stream Into the road before the tavern. Then s cloud of dust enveloped it, a cloud of dust that came from the tramping . of many pairs of feet, and that, swept toward them, thick and,impenetrable, end: no higher than a tall man's bead tn the lifeless, sir; "I wonder If we missed anything?" continued the Judge, finishing what ho had. started •to say..., * The scere or more of men were Quite near, and the Judge and Mataffy m*de out the tall ligure of the sheriff [in the lead.

"I can explain—" "Speak to them, Solomon—you know how I came by the money!" cried the Judge, clutching his friend by the arm. Mahaffy opened his thin lips, but the crowd drowned his voice in a roar. A tall fellow shook a long linger under Mahaffy's nose. "You scoot!" Mr. Mahaffy seemed to hesitate. Some one gave him a shove and he staggered forward a step. Before he could recover himself the shove was repeated. "Lope on out of here!" yelled the tall fellow. Mahaffy was hurried toward the road. Twenty men were in chase behind him. Then the woods closed about him. His long legs, working tirelessly, carried him over fallen logs and through tangled thickets, the voices behind him growing more and more distant as he ran.

Mr. Cavendish's paternal grandparent had drifted down the Hoiston and Tennessee; and Mr. Cavendish's father, in his son's youth, had poled up the Elk. M r . Cavendish now de termlned to float down the Elk to its Juncture with the Tennessee, down the Tennessee to the * Ohio, and if need be, down the Ohio to the Mississippi, until he found some spot exactly suited to his tasto. With this end in view ho had tolled through the late winter and early spring, building himself a raft on which to transport his rew belongings and bis numerous family. ] Thus it happened that ap Murrell and Slosson were dragging Yancy down the lane, Cavendish was Just rounding a bend in the Elk, A quarter of « s i U e ^ W f p t g fatamtogv loosely s g l l i i i ^ t b l ^ k B b s ^ v i i ^ o c hty sw**p,' ne'was watching the lane Ol bright water that ran between the black shadows cast by the trees cm JeUher'btok,,,,,;, , Y V ' He lieard a Auil splash, and csught sight of some object In the eddy test swept alongside U r .

It was a face, livid and bloodstreaked. Dropping on his knees be reached out a pair of long arms and made a dexterous grab, and his fingers closed on the collar of Yancy's shirt. He drew Yancy close alongside, and pulled him clear of the water. Mr. Cavendish began a hurried examination ot the still figure. "There's a little life here—not much. Polly!" he called. This brought Mrs. Cavendish from one of the two cabins that occupied the center of the raft When she caught sight of Yancy she uttered a shriek. Her cry had aroused the other denizens of the raft. ' Six little Cavendishes, each draped in a single garment; tumbled forth from their shelter. "I reckon we'd better lift him on to one of the beds—get his wet clothes off and wrap him up warm," said Polly. "Oh, put him In our bed!" cried ail the little Cavendishes. And Yancy was borne into the smaller of the two shanties, where presently his bandaged head rested on the long pillow. Then his wet clothes were hung up to dry along with the family wftsh, **> ^ i J L ^ * • • • The sheriff had brought the Judge's supper. He reported that the crowd was dispersing, and that on the whole public sentiment was not particularly hostile; indeed, he went so far as to say there existed a strong undercurrent of satisfaction that the Jail should have so speedily Justified itself. Presently the sheriff went his way Into the dusk of the' evening, and night came swiftly to fellowship the Judge's fears. A single moonbeam found ita way Into the place, making a thin rift in the darkness. The Judge sat down on the three-legged stool, which, with a shake-down bed, furnished the jail. Where was Solomon Mahaffy, and where Hannibal?. He felt that Mahaffy could fend for himself, but he experienced a moment of genuine concern when he thought of the child. Then—there was a scarcely audible rustle on the margin of the woods, a dry branch snapped loudly. Nest a stealthy step sounded in the clearing. The Judge had an . agonised vision of regulators and lynchers. The cautious steps continued, to approach. A whisper stole into the Jail. "Are you awake. Price?" It was Mahaffy who spoke. "Ood bless you, Solomon toahaffy! cried the Judge unsteadily. "I've got the boy—he's with me, said Mahaffy. ' ' : "Odd bless you both!" ropeated the Judge brokenly. "Take care of him, Solomon. 1 feel better now, knowing he's in soodhasde^ Please, Judge—" it was HannlbaL 2Yes, dear lad?1 "I'm mighty sorry that ten dollars I loaned you was bad—but you don't need ever to pay It back! It were Captain Murrell gave It to me." "I consecrate myself to his destruction! Judge Slocum Price cannot be humiliated with impunity!" "I should think you would save your wind, Price, until you'd waddied out of danger!" Mahaffy spoke gruffly. "How are you going to get me out of this, Solomon—for I suppose you: are here to break Jail for me," said the judge. VWell, Price, I guess all we can do Is to go back to town and see If 1 can get into my cabin—I've got an old saw there. If I can find it, I can come again tomorrow night and cut away one of the logs, or the cleats of the door." "In heaven's name, do that tonight Solomon!" implored the Judge. " W h y procrastinate ?'V "Price, there's a pack ot dogs in this neighborhood, and we must have a full night to move in, or they'll pull us down before we've gone ten miles!" "You're right, Solomon; I'd forgotten the dogs." Mahaffy closed and fastened the shutters, then he and Hannibal stole across the clearing and entered the woods. The Judge wen£ Jo bed. He was aroused by the arrival of his breakfasT, wnich the sheriff brought about eigh{ o'clock.^ .*.,^*^****^ "Well, Tf I was In your boots I couldn't sleep like you!" remarked that official admiringly. "But I reckon, sir, this ain't the first time the penitentiary has stared you in the face/' It was nearlng the noon hour when the Judge's solitude was again invaded. Ho first heard the distant murmur of voices on the road and passed an uneasy and restless ten minutes, with his eye to a crack .Jn the door. He was soothed and reassured, however, when at last he caught sight of the sheriff. "Well, Judge, I got company for you," cried the sheriff cheerfully, as he threw open the door. " A hoasthief!" He pushed into the building a man, hatless and costless, with a pair of pale villainous eyes and a tobaccostained chin. The Judge viewed the newcomer with disfavor. As for the horse-thief, be gave his companion In misery a coldly critical stare* seated himself on the stool, and with quite a flerCe air devoted all his energy to mastication. He neither altered his position nor changed his expression until he and the judge were alone, then, catching the judge's eye, he made what seemed a casual movement with his hand, the three fingers raised; but to the Judge this clearly was without significance, and the horse-thief manifested no further interest where he was concerned^ He did not even condescend to answer the one or two civil remarks the judge addressed to him. As the long afternoon more itself away, the Judge lived through the many stages of doubt and uncertainty, for suppose anything had happened to Mahaffy! Standing before the window, the judge watched the last vestige of light fade from the sky and the stars appear. Would Mahaffy come? The suspense ^ a £ Intolerable Suddenly ou? o f Ihe silence "sounded a longdrawn whfstle. Three times It was repeated. The horse-thief leaped to his feet "Neighbor, that means me!" he cried. The moon was rising now, and by its light the Judge saw a number of horsemen appear on the edge of the woods.

PRICK BAKING POWDER CO., CHICAGO MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED Situation improved, but Further Work Is Needed to Stamp Out Tuberculosis. Only four states, Mississippi, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming, have no beds whatever in special hospitals or wards for consumptives. Eight years ago when the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis was organized, there were 26 states in which no hospital or sanltorium provision for consumptives existed, and the entire number of beds in the United States was only 10,0001. "While these figures would indicate a remarkable growth in anti-tuberculosis activity," says Dr. Livingston Farrand, executive secretary of the National ascociation, in commenting on the subject, "there are still practically ten indigent consumptives for every one of the 30,000 beds, including those for pay patients. In other words, we have from 250,000 to 300,000 con* sumptives in this country too poor to provide hospital care for themselves. If tuberculosis is ever going to be stamped out in the United States, more hospital provision for these foci of Infection must be provided."

Contracts were let some time ago and work started at once on what will be the prettiest and altogether most attractive building at the Fair Grounds and at the same time the most interesting building. This structure will be 90x200 feet and in connection with Dairy barn will give 28,000 square feet of floor space devoted to dairying alone. The new structure will be one story in height and with its white roof towering dome In.white with red trimmings and flag pole 75 feet in" height will be a structure to catch the eye. The structure will be red brick to the sills and then frame to the eaves. When Gov. Osborn, T. P, Marston, Superintendent of Jthe Dairy Department and €olin C. Lilley, chairman of the State Dairy Commission, traveled around to the fairs of six states in 1909, they gathered ideas for this building .and every advantage of all other Jmiidings wfcfla none of the disadvantages was worked into the general plans. The milk given by the cattle of many breeds provided with food grown on the grounds* "will be passed through the three channels, commercial, butter "and cheese and the records of each of the eowe-will be kept correctly, and that record will be prominently displayed on the stanchions of each stall. The cows will be milked by electricity, the food will be sent to the stalls by carriers, the' manure will be carried away i n the same way and in fact every modern device known to dairying will :be Ahpwn. A huge,lee box requiring three car loads of ice during the week, will be maintained, JL lecture room will seat 800 people anS *flTbe used for lectures upon dallying during the week of the Pair.

Secretary of Agriculture to Preside at Opening of Great Event, The Hon. James R. Wilson, secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture has received an invito tfon to open the Michigan State Fair^ Sept. 16. The directors of the state fair feel that Secretary WUson will be so much interested in this fair, owing to the many innovations that have been brought forth that he will accept the invitation. The state.fair of this year with the "Boys' . State Fair School," and v.*ith the ''Miniature Model Farms," is putting* forward ideas which if adopted all over the country by other state fairs will serve to stimulate agriculture. To the 83 boys, one from each county of Michigan, who won in < the examinations held recently, there will be added 50 or more boys to the State Pair School, some of whom will pay their own expenses, while others will be sent by the county supervisors. Popular collections will be made In other > counties to provjde the funds and other means will be devised to allow those boys who "were runners-up for the .successful,candidates, to gain that knowledge "which they are so anxious to obtain. ' ' In one instance farmers of 28 years, 30 years and even older have asked permission to take the course pre scribed for,the school, Many of the Detroit school boys joined the colony a£ the Miniature Mode) Farms now being, tilled at the fair' grounds;' apd 22 youh& farmers busilj* employed each day preparing the ground and planting late crbps.

Yesterday and Today on the f a r m Panning twenty-five years ago on land valued at $50 per acre and with hired help at (15 to $18 per month and farming to-day with land valued, at $150 to $275 per acre, with hired help at $28 to $85 per month .vane two different propositions. t was bom in 1865 on a farm in the southern part of Michigan and after attending a district school until I reached my eighteenth year.! helped father on the farm. Father was considered a very successful farmer. He owned one hundred and ninety acres of land and we pastured about twenty steers and four cows on sixty acres. We would summer fallow about fifty acres for wheat, would raise about thirty five aires of eorn^ten ef oats and cut about thirty acres of hay. We kept two or three' brood sows and fatter* the pigs. We sold from $2,500 to $3,000 dollars of products from our farm each year. We kept two men in the summer and one in the winter. Confronts Serious Farm Problem In 1888 father moved to town and I took the farm to work on one-half shares. I worked it in the same wa» as my father did, but wheat got cheaper," beef got cheaper and I found when I only secured onehalf share front the farm, that it would/ bother me to make very much money. I,worked along till 1900 when I took up; eighty acres of my own. I tried-working it as father had taught me but soon found that I had to make my farm produce more. I was raising' a family, and m r expenses were more, labor was getting higher and land was increasing in value. I found that I couldn't afford to pasture stock nor could -I afford to summer fallow and oiHy get a crop of wheat in two years.,, . I had been'studying h'0w I could make the farm, prod nee more. I read .nat I could make a pound of butter with the same seed that .would make a pound of beef and baiter was from 20 to 25 dents apoumf and beef from/ 44 to 6 cents per. pouud. 1 read of a few putting in silos and the results} and realised that to make cheap feed I had tohaviasito. -v*. I '<herefor> bobght a good stave silo— because I consider the stave.silo keeps silage perfectly—added 22-cows to my herd and after feeding them one year found that I couldn't afford to pasture them, % for I could keep them much cheaper by fe^ding- fHemsj&ge the year around, winter and summer:' Iffwredited in my > purchasing another silo. 0 Saginaw Silo Makes Dlv - X want to say right here that I never i m w e & m u c h money or expected)to-make as much money as I did, tbe day I ordered a Saginaw silo for my farm. I fed those cows winter and summer for nine years and at the present time am keeping them on about one and one-quarter acres apiece. I summer fallow the same as rather did except that I plow a little earlier and plant it to corn. I take good care .of that corn for when I am working the corn I am also working my summer fallow. Last season I took from our summer fallow at the present price of* feed over $175.00 per acre. Then understand I had a fine seed bed, something you could not get by plowing oat or wheat stubble without a lot of work. I saved enough labor right there to more than offset the cost of patting the corn in my silos, AsSE when yon can do anything to save labor you have made that much money. In 10061 bought twenty-six acres more land, so I now have one hundred and six acres. My son has just finished school and has started toJvork the farm, He is potting in fifteen pore cowsand has already started to make butter — • e l l i n g It direct Jo, the trade where I had soM the ereatn. Tbe next move we are going to make is to put up another silo— ear third silo. We raise our heifer calves, so with thirfr- seven cows we will have* about fifty to sixty head of cattle on oar ,one-haadred and six acres. We keep eight brood sews and breed them twice a year and fat the pigs. We raise on our farm fifty acres of corn, fifteen of wheat, five of oats and ten of squash for the canning factory. We cut fifteen acres of aifafa hay and we have some small fields to pasture the hogs. Our wheat last year went forty bushels to the acre, after, understand, we had taken off the corn and it only took four days' work with oar team to put in the crop; simply ran over-the Jaaa with the cultivator and followed tip 'with the drill and we were done. Last Year's Prodsce Last year sold forty-seven hundred dollars worth of produce, besides keeping two families. The produce as follows: Butter $2,000.00 Wheat 540.00 Squash 550.00 H o g s . . . . . . . • • 1 . . • > • • • > .< 1,610.00 Bernier That all the merchants of Gregory will take subeoriptions for the GAZETTE.

Honestly 11 think tne farmer to-day has too much la6d. He does not farm it thoroughly. We must strive to keep more stock and so build up the fertility of our farm. The great amount of wild land in tbe west is now being cut Up in small farms. The time of cheap beef is past for we have more people and' a greater consumption of beef. There is little doubt but what twothirds of our farms could be made to produce nearly as much again as they do at the present time if properly handled. I could not keep my cows without sHos. They would eat their heads off of h\&i priced feed and they would not be conditioned as they are to*day on a balanced ration with silage a larger portion of their feed. Farmers! Stop and think a moment. Land has doubled in value, the cost of labor has doubled. and it costs us more to make this beef, pork and butter than it did ten years ago. Bo we must adopt what science has proven to us about better and cheaper feed—the feeding of stisge. We most keep more stock and through the added fertility of our land, produce more to the sere.

You don't have as many weeds and the richer it is the easier it works. I don't cSre what yon feed—build a silo and feed ^jfage. 1 he green succulent silage feed in the winter time will keep a uniform milk flow, and you can produce even in the winter time with no pasture, milk, cheaper through feeding si lege than you can in summer with cheap land to pasture. Finally, I would say that in comparing conditions of to-day with conditions as they were at the time I worked on my father's farms we have one-half the land, the same •mount of labor, doubled the value of our land and we have doubled the product.

(By GEORGE G. AINSLEE.) In many cornfields, especially i n the South, a heavy wind late in the season, before the corn Is matured, does great damage by breaking the plants off at the surface of the ground, thus ruining them. An examination of these broken stems will in most cases show that they have been greatly weakened by the burrows of a caterpillar known as "the larger corn stalk borer." Its work Is largely within tne stem of the plant, and is so concealed that in most cases, unless weather conditions make it conspicuous, the presence of the Insect passes unnoticed. This insect seems to have been originally an enemy of sugar cane and to have first transferred Us attention to corn i n the sou thorn part of this country, where corn and cane are grown over the same territory. It occurs in many countries where sugar cane is the staple crop, and has caused great damage In the West Indies, British Guiana, Australia, and Java. The bulk of the evidence goes to show that it was first brought into this country with the importation of sugar-cane cuttings from the West Indies and Central and South America, where, since early times, it has Larger cornstalk borer, a . Summer formed larva; b-c, hibernating forms; d-e-f-g, Abdominal segments. interfered with the production of this staple. Corn is damaged by these caterpillars in two ways. First, in the <^axly part of the season, while the pJants\ are small, they work in the "throat" of the young corn, and if the tender growing tip and the protecting leaves are once damaged all chances that the plant will become a normal productive specimen are gone. In many sections this i3 commonly known as "bud-worm" injury, and though there are several other insects which cause a similar mutilation of the leaf, a very large proportion of the so-called "bud-worm" damage may be charged to this insect, The other form of serious damage chargeable to this pest occurs later in this season. The larvae, having then left the leaves and descended to the lower part of the stalk, tunnel in the pith. If the larvae are at all numerous in the stalk, their burrows so weaken u.e plant that any unusual strain will lay it low and destroy all chance of its maturing. While frequently ten or more larvae may live and mature in one plant, it must be remembered that any infestation, however light, will lessen in some degree the vitality of the plant and cause a corresponding loss in the quality and quantity of the harvest. Immediately upon leaving the egg in spring the young larva of the first generation, spinning a silken thread behind it, wanders down into the throat of the plant as far as the wa- ' C h e e r U p !

If the burrow reaches the tender terminal bud where the future joints are being formed, further growth at that point ceases and the plant becomes stunted and misshapen, with no tassel. As the plant continues to mature, the larva "grows out," as the farmers Bay. It is more likely that it is the evidences of its work and not the larva itself that "grows out;" but for whatever reason, the caterpillar soon leaves the more leafy portion of the plant, and attacks the stalk at or near the ground. Here a hole Is cut through the outer wall of the stalk and the larva burrows upward for a short distance, after which it seems to run aimlessly through the pith, frequently even leaving the stalk entirely and re-entering it at another point. Turning upward, the caterpillar, when fully grown, bores toward the outside and cuts a circular hole in the outer wall of the stalk. Then, after spinning a few loose threads across this opening to keep out undesirable visitors, it retreats a short distance, a. Female moth; male; c. Pupa. b. Wings of plugs the burrow below with digested pith, and in the chamber thus created slowly changes to the next or pupal stage. , Seldom is the stalk damaged above the third joint from the ground, although the larvae, when small, are found in the large midribs of the lower leaves and later In the season, when the food supply Is restricted, even in succulent nubbins farther up. They sometimes also penetrate the underground part of the stalk in feeding and enter some of the larger brace roots for a short distance. The larvae of the second generation work in a similar manner, except that at the time they appear the tassel has been formed; hence the damage is now confined altogether to the lower stalk. Thus, instead of arranging to pass the pupal stage i n the upper stalk, they penetrate to the root to hibernate and there, as larvae, pass the winter in a quiescent state. ^Rotation is one of the best general preventives of injury from insects affecting field crops. Experience has shown that where corn has followed itself upon the same field for two or more years there has been a much Mutilation of leaves of corn caused by larvae of larger corn3talk borer. greater loss from the borer than where an.annual change of crop has been practiced. This is especially noticeable where stalks or stubble from the previous year have been allowed to remain undisturbed throughout the winter. The moths, upon emergence in the spring, finding themselves surrounded by the young corn, commence egg laying at once and escape the dangers encountered in searching for another field of corn. A forced journey i n search of young corn results in many of the females being eaten by birds or being destroyed because of rain, cold, or failure to find the object of their quest. A few moths will always succeed in' their search, but the successful proportion will be greatly de* creased by persistent crop rotation.

Soil lacking i n fertility must be well manured, as alfalfa requires a large amount of plant food. Inoculation of the soil will generally be necessary and must not be hegnected. Soil from a feood alfalfa field or from a place where sweet clover is growing should be used for inoculating. Alfalfa is an excellent feed for a l l kinds of stocje.

Something of a Novelty Is One Calling for Fresh Garden Peppers- Onion Soup Brought to Per- - faction In France. An housekeeper whose family doesn't care very much for flesh food in summer can find any number of delicious vegetable; soups to take the place of meat decoctions, and having once formed the habit of using them it Is likely to be a. lasting one. The following soup, calling for fresh garden peppers, is a novelty: Mince three large peppers and three small onions together and stew them gently, till tender, in a little butter—about two tablespoonfuls—without browning. Then thicken to a paste with a generous tabtespoonful of flour and gradually stir the mixture into a quart of boiling milk. Season with salt and pepper. Gradually add also, stirring well, the yolks of three eggs, and then remove from the fire Immediately and serve very hot with croutons. Do not let it cool long or it may curdle. If one or two of the peppers are a bright red, instead of green, they will lend pretty tints to the soup. For French onion soup, which returned travelers describe as food for the gods, fry four onions in two tablespoonfuls of butter or very nice soup fat The latter is to be preferred because it is cheaper. When they are quite brown add a scant half cupful of flour, stirring all the time. When the flour is brown mix in carefully (a little at a time) about three pints of boiling water or stock. Season the whole with salt and pepper and put the soup near the back of the stove, Where it will merely simmer for half an hour. Mash two potatoes and add enough warm milk to them to make a puree. Stir this puree into the soup and if too thick add a little fresh milk. Then strain and boil ten minutes. Serve very hot with croutons. The following combination of rice and lettuce makas^a delicious soup: Have ready the large loaves of three good-sized heads of lettuce. After draining, chop them up and put them in a saucepan with about a fifth of a pound of butter and cook for five minutes, stirring frequently. Stir the whole into two quarts of white stock. Season with a tablespoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of pepper, half a teaspoonful of grated nutmeg and a soup bouquet. Stir in also four ounces of well-cleaned rice. Cover the kettle and let it cook for three-quarters of an hour. Then strain the sdup through a fine sieve. Let the soup heat once again, but do not let it boil. Stir in a pint of sweet cream, and serve very hot, with croutons. I5HSP Chocolate Sponge Pudding. Beat lightly two eggs, add one cupful of sugar and beat for three minutes more. Then add one cupful of flour, into which has been sifted one teaspoonful of baking powder. Stir well and add a half cupful of boiling water, cea&on with one teaspoonful of vanilla extract, pour into a square pan anoTbake in a moderate oven. When cool cut in two inch squares and pour over a cream made a3 follows: Place in a double boiler one* pint of milk, and when hot stir in half,a cupful of sugar, into which has been mixed one tablespconfurof corn starch, a bar of unsweetened chocolate, grated fine, and a small lump of butter. Stir until smooth and pour over the squares of cake. Boiled Cider Sauce. Delicious for fruit pudding. Rub to a light cream, two cups of white sugar andt three-fourths cup butter; beat Into itjjradiially one-half teacup boiled cider. Just before serving set into a kettle of boiling water; heat it hot, but do not let it boil. Pour over pudding made as follows: One cup buttermilk; one-half cup sugar; one tablespoon lard (melted), flavor vanil* la, one egg. Put in enough flour t o make cake batter; one teaspoon baking powder sifted in flour. Put cherries or any fruit in teacups, three tablespoonsful; fill cups to one-half full with batter.

The table can be utilised for cards by means of a board covered with green cloth that fits into the tray. Borax for Laundering Lace. In laundering lace bows and so forth, try rinsing in a solution of borax which will give them just the required stiffness. Two helping tablespoons to five quarts of water is the*, proportion.

That I consider a shrewd observation. Whatever may be your nature, whether you feel yourself to be an artist, or experience within yourself the movings of poesy, it is well to learn to do something that will enable you to exist with self-respect by taking yourself off other people's backs. ^ The one work to take up is some kind of work the world is willing to pay for. You may be created to do something wonderful or beautiful or wise, but primarily you are created to do something for men that will persuade them to feed and clothe you. First earn your salt, then come on with your message. In the olden days the Jews taught every child a trade. The youth might grow up to be a learned rabbi, but on a pinch he could mend chairs. Saint Paul was a tent maker. He discharged his debt to the race by Xnaking tents; he threw in his gospel as boot. It is what you do to boot that brings you*glory and honor, praise and power. But don't forget your main duty, which is to earn your wage. If you don't have to work for a living it is too bad. You may amount fco something, but the chances are against you. I A few endowed gentlemen and, ladies have helped the world along I& little, in the course of history, but no enough to matter. I Most people look upon a condition where they would be freed from (the struggle for bread and butter and house rent as a heaven devoutly to fee wished. I Hence we have erected universities and scholarships and endowments eo that superior folk might devote all their energies to higher things.

Wage labor is work. What you do after you work is play. Your play is the best thing you do. All true art, philosophy and religion is the soul's play. There's no wage for it, and there never can be. £ If you work all the time you become stupid, like the huge money •getters. I If you play all the time, like the endowed folk, you become silly, probably also Vicious. If therefore you would be normal, healthy and happy, do something fcach day that mankind is willing to pay money for, put forth some effort reducible to the common denominator of hurnan activity—money; do that first, then do something that cannot be paid for. «fr Perhaps you can do both atthe same time. Nature F a v o r s Active a n d B u s y Life I r i Connoisseurs say that fish living lazily in dee}) pools where existence is easy are poor in quality, whereas those in running water where food is hard to get. and dangers are all around to be guarded against have the finest, the real exquisite flavor. So it would seem that nature favors the strenuous life—not that purposeless, result* less^buzzing about in the squirrel cage wmch some people call life, any more than the eternal sitting with folded hands and empty brain, but the great common lot, that of hustling for a living for self and loved ones. Plenty of love, work-and play are what are good for us—play to build us up when we are weary, work to keep us from getting into mischief, love to make work worth while. And if we are unhappy, most likely there is something wrong with that great life trinity. The ideal lot would be congenial work—that into which one could put one's very best, loving and being loved by delightful people, and having the means of real recreation—that which verily recreates— always at hand. But in this very practical world, which is only a training school anyhow, it would seem that it is enough for the average ma i!" these three are present, even in imperfection. Most of us must love very ordinary folks, for wcjire. ourselves of the ordinary sort; most of us haven't had the time or means to develop, all that may be in us, much less find the round or square holes that exactly fit our round or square shapes; most of us can't choose between golf, automobiling, tennis, horseback riding and fancy gymnastics at the athletic club, but must content ourselves with walking home from business or a game of ball with the boys in the back yard. But only when we love heartily and work well and play whenever we get a chance will life be wholesome, human, real. Subtle Nerves H a r d to Control By WILLAIAltMoo nGa.. JOFmH. NSON* In a railway or other accident a man may be scared within an inch, or even within half an inch, of his life; he may get such a fright as will all but kill him, but unless the fear leaves permanent and pain- - ful physical effects, lie has no redress in a A > F © \ I suit for damages. 'A decision handed down by a North Carolina court says that "mere fright is not actionable." A person must suffer both in body and in mind and be made sick in order to recover damages. That sounds like good cdmmon sense, and it is doubtless good law, but can a general rule be applied in all cases? Suppose •two persons occupy a seat in a railway car that is wrecked, but neither is injured physically in the least. Suppose also that one of the two is hardy, robust, courageous, with a strong nervous organization, while the other is weak, timid, with shattered nerves.. The shock might easily cause the nervous person to suffer both in mind and in body and be made sick, tfhile the other escaped with no unpleasant permanent effects whatever. Would the fright in one case be actionable, and not actionable in the other?. Would the, railway company be held responsible for the nervous condition of all the passengers? In that case it might be necessary to haVe specialist to examine passengers before they board the trains or trolley- cars, in order that the company might not be liable. Such delicate and subtle things as nerves are hard to"control, cyan by profound and well-established principles of law. ' « , KOODOO RING THAT PARTED _ FOND HEARTS NEW YORK.—When Frank M . Ladd stood on the end of the Iron pier at Atlantic City the other day with Miss Jeanette Carljerry and threw a carat and a balf solitaire diamond ring as far as he could into the waters of the Atlantic some of the spectators thought him insane. But as the ring flashed and sank Ladd turned and said, "Thank heaven it's gone," and Miss Carberry sighed happily. Tbe act probably dispensed for all time with the hoodooed engagement ring that four times caused Mr. Ladd to figure ln broken engagements and which five times he placed upon, the finger of Miss Carberry, where now a new cut diamond flashes. Unless some luckless loving couple dallying in the sand at Atlantic City some time dig up the solitaire the hoodoo will remain with the mermaids. The story of the i l l luck that has followed the ring and its peculiar adventures leads toward the realm of uncanny mysteries. No explanation yet has been offered, no theory evolved beyond that the whole thing must have been the work of some human enemy of either Ladd or his fiancee. Nothing Extraordinary in Principals. Mr. Ladd is a New Yorker; that is, he has a business in New York but resides in Brooklyn, down in the Prospect park south district. Miss Carberry lives in the same neighborhood with her parents, and until two years ago was assistant buyer for a big New York wholesale millinery establishment. Mr. Ladd has a small apartment and takes breakfast with a family named Brescher, consisting of the father, mother, and one child, a boy of twelve. While on friendly terms with the Brescbers, it cannot be said that Ladd is at all intimate with tnem. He sees them at breakfast, but seldom at any other time, as he lunches in New York and usually dines in town and returns to his apartment during the evening. Their First Meeting. Ladd met Miss Carberry in the fall of 1909. They fell in love with each other and their engagement was announced in January, the date of their marriage being set for June 27. Evidently Ladd felt tolerably certain that he would be accepted even before he made the formal proposal, as he admits, that the week before they became engaged he gave an order for a pure white diamond solitaire and ordered it set in a high ring of old red Guinea gold. Miss Carberry first put on the ring the evening of January 7 when she accepted Mr. Ladd's proposal. She was much pleased with the ring itself, besides she seemed unusually happy and wore the ring proudly. The following Friday Mr. Ladd called to take her to the theater. CShejwore the ring and distinctly remembered that after Mr. Ladd kissed her good-night and started away she turned out the light, and as she started to her boudoir Bhe stopped on the staircase and kissed the ring. The following morning the ring was missing. The Ring Disappears. Miss Carberry made a ha«ty search of her room and her bed, then summoned her mother, informed her of the loss, and told her to take everything in the room and hallway to pieces and find the ring, as Mr. Ladd was going to call that evening and she would not want him to know. Her had been ln the house five mmutfs, and observed that the ring w a / gone. "So soon, sweetheart?" he asked. Then Miss Carberry confessed. "It must have slipped off while I slept," she said. "I never, never would have taken it off. But we have searched high and low and can't find it." Breach Widens to Final Break. Mr. Ladd pretended that it did not matter, but evidently he felt a little hurt The girl imagined that he was suspicious, and when day after day passed with no trace of the ring she grew proudly silent and refused further explanations. They parted in anger and she wrote a note breaking the engagement—and both of them were miserable. Two days vaftef"that the ring reappeared inside the wrapping paper around a piece of meat from the market, which Miss Carberry unwrapped when she tools it out of the icebox. The girl, at the insistence of her mother, wrote to Mr. Ladd, returning the ring and stating that she had found it in a peculiar place and expressing regret that its loss had caused them to quarrel. Ladd hurried to her as soon as he got the note and begged her to forgive him and to wear the ring again. Again Wore Engagement Ring. As no one outside the immediate family knew of the broken engagement, they kissed, made up, vowed never again to allow such trivialities to mar their perfect happiness. Miss Carbe: y wore her ring again, proudly exhibiting it to her friends. Four days later Miss Carberry accepted Mr. Ladd's suggestion to meet her at luncheon. They had a jolly little luncheon, and Miss Carberry and Ladd both remember that she had the ring on her engagement finger when they were eating the salad. A man friend of Mr. Ladd's entered and stopped at the table to speak to him, and was presented to Miss Carberry proudly as his fiancee. Miss Carberry extended her hand, and the ring was missing. She observed its loss almost immediately, and as soon as the Mend had passed on she whispered: Disappeared at Luncheon. "My ring! It's gone!" There was a quick search.

Miss Carberry returned from the office and together they searched the entire house. The girl was mortified and distressed. Instead of telling Mr. Ladd, she telephoned him that she was sick and for him to come the following night. She remained at home from the office and searched the house again. That evening Ladd came. She hoped he would not observe the fact that the ring was missing, but as luck would have it he tried to kiss her hand before he It was not on. the floor, on the table, anywhere, "Maybe you slipped it off for fear Joe would see you were engaged," suggested Ladd hopefully and tactfully. Miss Carberry indignantly denied this, and called his attention to the fact that she had been proud when he introduced her as his fiancee. They parted with increased coldness. Ladd j said he was glad the ring was lost, but he did not say it as if he meant it. Another misunderstanding that lasted for weeks resulted, and then there was a quarrel, and tho engagement was broken again. The day after the breaking of the engagement the ring made its reappearance. Miss Carberry found it in an envelope on her desk at home. She waited almost a month before she notified Ladd of the recovery of the ring. Although both had been so positive that she wore it at the luncheon, they agreed they must have been mistaken. That time Miss Carberry wore the ring exactly seven days, and was so careful that she placed a tight guard ring above it on her engagement finger. On the seventh day, a Sunday, she went to.spend the day with some friends. Guard Ring Remains on Fnger. After dinner, late in the afternoon, she went to a room upstairs with three other girls to prepare to return to the city, and the ring disappeared. Oddly enough, the guard ring was on the finger, and so far as she could recall, it never had been off. She was almost frantic with anxiety, fearing another break in her engagement She determined to make every effort to recover the ring, and not let Mr. Ladd know of its third disappearance until Tuesday evening, when he was to call. He did not call Tuesday evening. Instead there came a cool little note asking her to explain why she had left the ring on his desk and rious than anything else. The details are not complete, because Mr. Ladd is rather reticent in regard to the intermission in their courtship. It is known, however, that he met a Miss Mat MacCallum of Albany, that they became engaged, and that he gave her the engagement ring. Probably he became Miss MacCallum while losing Miss Carberry. Miss MacCallum wore nearly a month. Then it disappeared as mysteriously as it had done before. The girl either was deceitful or rather frightened ov,er the loss, 'and instead of confessing it she wrote and broke the engagement and stated that she never had cared enough for him to marry him and that their engagement had been a mistake. She did not mention the ring. Ring Returns to Owner. Three days after he received the letter from Miss MacCallum lie received a nice little note from Miss Carberry. She thanked him for sending the ring, showing her that in spite" of misunderstandings he still trusted her, The ring, she said, was left on her desk in the office where she was employed, without a message, but she understood it to mean that he was weary of their foolish quarrel. - Puzzled and upset over the affair, Ladd called upon her, and after being convinced that there was no danger he confessed everything and was forgiven. They agreed to be married in three weeks and Ladd jokingly insisted that a wedding ring was necessary to hold that engagement ring on her finger. Ring FcAjnd on Ladd's Desk. Two nights afterward the ring disappeared again, while she slept, Miss Carberry insisted, and the following day Ladd found it circling a twisted spile of paper on his desk. On the paper were two words, " H a ! H a ! " written in a large, bold hand, and those two words furnish the only clew to the mystery. Instead of writing Ladd went direct to the home of his fiancee and demanded to know whether she were trifling5 with him. The result was another quarrel and a separation, more tears, and they parted, Miss Carberry declaring she never wanted to see his face again. He stood it a month, then wrote, begging forgiveness. After proper time he was permitted to call to "explain." Ladd proved resourceful that time. He brought a new engagement ring, and he pledged himself to throw the other away if she would accept him again. She agreed that if the new ring would remain on her finger for two months she would marry him and they would know that the other ring was hoodooed. For two months the new ring sparkled on the third finger of her left hand. Then the date was set and a short time ago the*y ran down to Atlantic City for a little outing and threw away the hoodooed ring that had caused them so much trouble. The first soldier to win the coveted medal of honor was Julian Scott, a fifteen-year-old drummer boy in the Third Vermont Infantry in 1862. The ,act which gained him the medal was performed several months before the congressional act instituting the reward was passed. The medal of honor is the highest decoration for personal valor awarded to the soldiers and sailors of the United States. It is to Americans what the Victoria Cross is to the English or the Iron Cross to the Germans. The act of congress ordering 2,000 of these medals to be prepared was approved by President Lincoln July 12, 1S62, and the first medal was issued the following year. It was a flve-pointed star of gun:metal, tipped with trefoil, each point containing a victor's crown of oak and laurel. On official occasions, says TJncle Sam's Magazine, it was worn suspended around the neck and under the center line of the n chin by order of the president. A bowknot of ribbon isworn in the lapel of the coat in the absence of the medal. In 1868 the Grand Army of the Republic organization adopted a design so similar that it was misleading and steps were taken by the Medal of Honor Legion to have a new design issued to replace the old one. Congreas in 1904 adopted the new medal. It is of silver, heavily electroplated i n gold. The five-pointed star has been retained and in its center, appears the head of the heroic Minerva, the highest symbol of wisdom and righteous war. It was on the morning of April 16< that the afterward famous Vermont brigade—Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth regiments—was ordered to advance and to attack a strong fortification masked in a forest near Lee's Mills, or Burnt Chimneys, on the right bank of Warwick river. When the command reached the bank of the river under cover of the fire of a light battery four companies of the Third regiment, in one of which Julian Scott was serving as a musican, despite desperate regagement why she did not say so and have it-over with instead of indulging in trickery with the ring.

When Sir Thomas Lipton was a small boy in Scotland, he dropped Into a church one Sunday morning and was put by himself in a pew directly in front of the minister, who preached a sermon on the text, "Am I my brother's keeper?" The parson, who was unusually eloquent, talked on this theme for about forty minutes, and finally worked up to the climax of his remarks. He kept his gaze; fixed directly on the little Lipton, who began to fidget and look very self-conscious.

Scott Pulled Him to Shore. sistance by the enemy, hidden among trees and a dense underbrush on the opposite Bide, succeeded in wading across. . The water midstream was breast high and soaked the paper cartridges carried in little leather boxes on the back. The rest of the brigade failed to come up, but the plucky advance guard dMve the Confederates from their position and had pursued them some distance before they rallied. Then, unsupported and with worthless ammunition, the Vermonters- fell back. As soon as the enemy realized that the retreating companies had no defence but bayonets they subjected them to a merciless fire. The climax to the catastrophe came when the Vermont companies reached the stream they had forded ah hour earlier and found it a roaring flood- While the fighting had been going on the Confederates had opened the floodgates at the mills above and had cut off their assailants. Many of the Vermonters tried to swim the stream, but were drowned. Others were shot as they hesitated on the bank. Young Scott.plunged into the water and struck out for the opposite shore. In midstream he sfbpped to rescue a wounded comrade who was shot through the neck while swimming beside him. Scott pulled him to shore and laid him on the bank out of dan- '> ger and again and again returned to the stream, rescuing wounded and exhausted men until he had drawn 11 of his comrades to safety. Even then, faint from the long struggle and suffering intensely from a bad wound in his head, he went back once more to have a twelfth man, also wounded, from being carried down with the flood. The man died as Scott laid him on the bank. It was by such service that the first medal of honor was won. Julian Scott lived not'only through the war, but for many years after it, and is buried now in a Plainfield, N. J., cemetery. (Copyright, t>y W. G. Chapman.) At the age of 32 Dr. George Matcham was a highly respected member of the New York medical fraternity. A n k*>^3«n her and Capt Channing must Investigator of unusual skill and acuteness, the discoveries he made and the papers he had written concerning them gained him a wide reputation in professional circles. We were close friends, and when^ on his returo fcraaa a prolonged visit to Ka.iy trc called at my house,*I was shocked by the change in the man. He was thin, haggard, yellow of complexion, and it did not astonish me when he volunteered the information that he was suffering from malaria in a peculiarly malignant form. It did, however, surprise me when he stated that he had resolved to allow nature to take its course, and would not enlist medical aid to fight the disease. He remarked calmly that he was doomed, and no argument to the contrary proved of any avail. Furthermore, he declared that when he died a .manuscript explaining his indifference to death would be placed in my hands. Three months later the event which -he prophesied came to pass. He was found dead In his study, having finally succumbed to the inroads of the malady. A manuscript among his effects, sealed and addressed to me, was duly forwarded to its destination. It contained the following history, which I will give ln Matcham's own ^ords: It was about a year ago that "Manson's published discoveries with regard to malaria aroused my interest, and I determined' to make investigations on his lines for myself. For this reason I resolved to pay a visit to the Campagna near Rome, and carry on my investigations in the most malarial districts of this unhealthy spot. The cause of malaria was known and its spread was all but proved, but I hoped that it might be my privilege to discover the remedy. I was deeply in love with a young girl named Rachel Denza, whom I had known since ^u>e~was a child. Her father was aifex-colonel in the United States army. Col. Denza adored his only child, and she lived only for her father. It was on the day before I left New York for Italy that I ventured to speak openly of my love to Miss Denza. To my astonishment and rage she gently but firmly refused me. 1 controlled myself, however, and having promised my old playmate that we should always remain good friends, took my departure. Outwardly I was calm, but inwardly a tempest raged in my breast. If I had intended Rachel to be mine before I asked her, I was now like a man possessed on the subject. The next day I sailed for Italy. The time of year was favorable for my project, Rome being distinctly malarial in the month of August. I began to make my investigations at once. My experiments from the start were more for possible cure of malaria than on the cause of its dissemination, but in order to attain the one I had to investigate the other. It is now no secret that the parasite which causes malaria in the human subject is to be found in the bodies of certain mosquitoes. The special mosquito which disseminates this terrible disease has spotted wings and lays boatshaped eggs. For the mosquito in question, when it bites a man infected with malaria, conveys the disease to the next healthy person whom it bites. Up to the present only the mosquito with spangled wings, the anopheles, is believed to be capable of conveying this dire infection from man to man, but in all probability there are many others of the species which can perform equally deadly work. As anopheles abounded on the portion of the Campagna where I had placed my patent mosquito hut, equipped with wire gauze doors and windows, I had abundant opportunities of studying them. Haviag taken the necessary precautions, and being in any case, as I considered, impervious to the bite of the mosquito, I remained free from the dread disease. I had been a month on the Campagna when one morning I received a letter from Rachel informing me that she was engaged to marry a certain Capt. Channing, formerly in her father's regiment. I wrote a formal note of congratulations to Rachel and posted it. Before the arrival of that letter I was practically a human scientist who loved his work and wished to benefit his fellow men. N6w, every thought was concentrated on one idea—how I could frustrate •Channing and make Rachel my wife. Befo/e I slept that night I took the first step. % I had a distant cousin by the name of Marian Fletcher. She was a tall, dark, handsome girl, over whom I had always exercised considerable influence, although I was not vain enough to suppose that she loved me. It occurred tb me that she would be a useful tool at any rate. She was visiting the Denzas at this time, and I wrote her a letter dealing principally with ordinary matters; but toward the end I mentioned that I had heard of Rachel's engagement. I asked her to tell me all she could about Channing, and in a short while I received a.reply which ran as follows: "My Dear George: It Is in my power to give you much information with regard to Rachel Denza's engagement In the first place, the marriage bebe performed between now and the first of January, next year, for by the will r& Geoffrey Channing's late ecwiteiG uncle, Edward Marbury, he , ) ^ s a large estate unless he marries before that date. Geoffrey is well off without this money, but with it he will be extremely rich, able to give his wife every luxury. You-will be surprised when' I tell you that Geoffrey and I are first cousins; that Edward Marbury was the uncle with whom I spent the greater part of my youth; and that if by any chance Geoffrey should fall to marry before the first of January has expired, I, Marian Fletcher, would come in for the property which ^Sei-^nd I went at once to the sick man's would like to see him?" she queried, significantly. I looked at her and nodded. 4T know the manager," she said. "I will go and speak to him. She jumped up and left me. In a few minutes she returned. *T believe Mr. Aldis will see you," she said. " A message has been sent to his apartments. He is very i l l , but has refused to see any of the doctors of the place. I managed to have the information conveyed to him that you are a specialist i n malaria, a celebrated American scientist, and it is possibleXthat you may be allowed to prescribe for, him." tt "In that case," I said, "I will leave the hotel for a few minutes. If a message comes in my absence, keep it ,for me, will you?" I went straight to Shepheard's. I reached my own room and secured the bottle containing my pet mosquitoes. O p e n ' ^ this with extreme care, I translerred two of the winged insects to another and smaller bottle. These I christened on the spot Lucifer and Diabolis, my instruments of vengeance. They immediately settled at the bottom of the bottle. They appeared to be languid, doubtless because of the lack of their proper food. I slipped the bottle into my pocket and went back to the Continental. The concierge met me and said that Mr. Aldis desired me to pay him a visit, would lose. His match with Rachel is certainly a love affair, for they are both very devoted. Forgive me—I have sometimes fancied that you had a tender place i n your heart for the lovely Miss Denza, Do you, too, lose by this marriage? If BO, we ought to' sympathize with each other, for if you lose the woman,i£ lose the fortune. Before concluding 1 may mention that Col. Denza has not been well, and his doctor has ordered toim to winter in\ Cairo. The entire party go to Egypt about the middle of November, Where they will remain until after the wedding. Capt Channing, of course, accompanies them, and so also does your .humble servant I wonder if the congratulations you sent Rachel were really from your heart "Yours sincerely, Marian Fletcher." Marian's letter was the beginning of a correspondence between us, the result of which was that one day I packed up my traps and started for Egypt a week after the Denzas had gone there. I had made up my mind to winter also in Cairo. The Denzas and their party put up at the Continental hotel, but I took rooms at Shepheard's. For various reasons I preferred not to be under the same roof as Rachel. But I had not been six hours in Cairo before we met. I went to the Continental and she introduced me to her fiancee, Capt. Channing. Col. Denza and Marian were present, and the latter called to see me at my hotel on the following day. "We need not mince matters, G^rge," said she. "I know you of old, and I alone noticed your agitation when you met Rachel and the man she loves. The wedding takes place in three weeks. You are content, of course." "It shall never take place," I answered fiercely. "I have vowed and I mean to keep my^yow." "Well said, George," she responded. "I, too, have good reason to complain If this marriage takes place. A big fortune comes to me if Channing fails to marry before the first of January. I do not care so very much for that, though; something else influences me—it is my love for you. You have vowed to marry one woman, while another woman has vowed to marry you. We shall see how it all works out. Meanwhile, I am ready to help you all I can." She laughed and glided away without waiting for a reply, and I proceeded to arrange the primary details of a plan which I had already outlined in my mind. The spangled-winged mosquito, small, light as air, almost transparent, scarcely visible to the caked ;leye, carried within its tiny body a weapon of death almost as certain as the assassin's knife. Before leaving the Campagna I had secured several of these mosquitoes in a bottle. The bottle was provided with a breathing apparatus, and i n order to keep the insects alive I fed them on banana; but I knew to insure the truth of Manson's theory I must give the moscjuitoes a malarial 'victim to feed upon. How could I find such a victim? I examined my treasures and found them in good condition. On the following morning I took a stroll through the far-famed bazars of Cairo, and when leaving a booth noticed a man standing by the counter,, intent of making a purchase. A spasm of mingled delight and pity crossed my heart. He was a sad-looking object; his*face was so thin that the* bones protruded under the sallow, sickly skin. He was a European, perhaps an Englishman, beyond all doubt he'was * suffering from malignant malaria; I recognized the symptoms of the dread disease at once. As he left the bazar, he grew suddenly weak, staggered and would have fallen had not I caught his arm. He spoke to me in English, and I assisted him to a carriage outside. He thanked me gratefully and bade the Jehu drive him to the Continental hotel. He was the very subject I needed as a tool to execute the deadly work I had in hand, and that evening I had a private conversation with Marion. "There is a man In this hotel very, ill," I said. "Do you happen to know him?" "Are you alluding to Mr. Aldis?" she asked. "Perhaps so " I replied. "I met him today at the Silver bazar; he is suf* fering from malignant malaria." "It is the *ame; I suppose you room. He was far gone, indeed, with acute malignant malaria. He told me that he had contracted it i n New Guinea. "I shall never go out aagin," he said, "until they carry me away from here. I have declined, however, to go to a hospital, and I do not want a nurse. I can manage myself." As he spoke he cowered close to the fireplace. I took out my small bottle, aivd, unperceived by him, removed the cork and let one of the spangledwinged mosquitoes free. I then turned and sat down near the patient Presently there sounded on my ears the well-known musical hum of the In any case I get the fortune," sue mused softly. "WThat am I to do tonight, Dr. Matchem?" I took a glass ^bottle from my pocket. "In this," I said, "is a mosquito. Captain Channing's room is on the same corridor with the rest of your party. Go upstairs some time this evening when no one is by, enter the captain's apartment, open the curtains of his bed and let the Insects which rests in this bottle have its freedom inside the curtains. When you are certain it is safe inside, tuck the curtains down again and come away." I thrust the bottle into her hand. Diabolis was full-fed and ripe to pursue his deadly work. The next morning, by invitation, I breakfasted at the Continental with the Denzas. I observed Captain Channing rub his cheek, and I saw the small but sure bite of a mosquito in the little red patch which irritated him. Rachel noticed her fiance's action and remarked: "So you were the victim last night; I was bitten the night before." "You refer to the mosquitoes," he said. "It is strange that they should ^be active at this time of the year. A most persistent brute got inside my curtains and worried me a lot, but I finally managed to kill i t " So Diabolis was dead! I smiled to myself. Captain Channing jumped up and he and Rachel went out together. Marian and I were alone. "When will the poison begin to work?" she asked. "Probably this afternoon." "Is one dose sufficient?" "It would be safer to give a second, Marian. Can you help me to do it?" "Certainly. Will you let me have the bottle which contains the insect before night?" • I nodded. She stared at me steadily. "You clearly understand what my collaboration in this matter means?" "You get the money," was my reply. "And the man?" she queried. "We will speak of that later," I said. My work could not be spoilt now. I \ti one of the spindle-winged moaquitoea tree. mosquito. It came nearer, and pass- f Rachel, deprived of fortune and lover, ed me by, it selected the sick man as must assuredly turn to me. I must a victim. A moment later and my soothe and satisfy Marian later on, spangle-winged beauty alighted on the ; but at any cost she must finish what invalid's hand. He was about to brush j she^ had begun. Just then Rachel came it off, but I Interposed, "One moment," j up to us, looking pale and anxious. I cried; "this is most curious. Let me secure this mosquito; it is surely rot one of the ordinary kind one finds here." As I spoke I laid my hand lightly on come prison. I secured it and slyly slipped it back into the bottle. The invalid gazed at me in surprise. v "The brute has bitten me," he said. "It Is early in the year for mosquitoes in Cairo, but I have been bitten before." "Indeed!" I answered, with eagerness. "Yes, I see you have mosquito curtains round your bed." "The season has been so warm that they have not died off as is their usual habit," he replied. "I think I shall go to bed, doctor; 1 feel a chill coming over me." From that hour Frank Aldis was my patient, and I visited him a couple of times a day. I had fed my mosquitoes one by one from the veins of the malarious victim, but Lucifer and Diabolis I still kept in a bottle by themselves— they were fully primed to do what mischief lay In thc'ir power. Christmas day arrived, and two days afterward the wedding was duo to take place. On Christmas night I knew that the time had come to strike. I sought "I am so glad you are here," she said. "Geoffrey is not well; he complains of shivering and headache. His symptoms are just like those from which Mr. Aldis suffers." the insect. It fluttered in its ran upstairs and saw Channing. He had slight rigor, which I knew would increase; he had also sick headache. By evening he was very ill, and it was clear that all thought of the morrow's ceremony must be abandoned. Marian had taken her place as nurse for Channing, and I managed to slip the glass bottle into her hand. Early the following morning I visited the patient. Channing had got over the first attack and was lying on his bed, weak and indifferent. Colonel Densa asked mc what I thought of the case. "It is a clear case of malignant malaria," I replied. "The fact is, he ought not to marry for some time." "He must marry before the first, or he loses a fortune!" exclaimed the colonel aghast. "Tomorrow is the last day of grace." "I don't believe he'll be able to go through with it," I said. Just then Rachel passed, going with feeble steps to her room, I was struck by her languid bearing and hastened after her. "Are you i l l , Rachel?" I asked. "Is Marian Fletcher and told her I needed this disappointment more than you can her help to further our plans. "I will help you on one condition," she said. "You must marry me." "You ask the impossible," I replied. "Lwant to remove a certain man from stand?" "It is not that," she said. "I don't know what is wrong with me.

"Listen, Marian," I said softly. "We will discuss the conditions afterwards. If you fail to help me tonight it will bo toe late.** clutched at my heart. I went downstairs and found Marian reading a magazine. She rose when I approached. "Dr. Matcham," she said with sneering emphasis, "I asked you for a promise last night which you would not give. So, to-mako ftll safe, I took matters into my own hands. It does not suit me that Captain Channing should die and Racheflive, beautiful and free. I think you- call your favorite mosquitoes Diabolis and Lucifer. Well, Diabolis poisoned Channing on the night of the 25th; Lucifer poisoned Rachel last night" "What do you mean?" I cried. "Just what I say. They are both i l l now, and It is your doing and mine. (Jure them if you can.". I was incapable of speech and made no answer. Turning away from Marian i went upstairs to where the Denzas' room were located. Rachel's door was slightly ajar and I heard voices within. Her father was standing by the bed on which the girl lay. She had not troubled to undress, but from where I stood I noticed the frightful rigor which caused her to shiver violently. The colonel saw me and asked me J o enter. "WThat can you make of Rachel's symptoms, doctor?" he asked. I went up to the bed and took hold of the girl's small, hot hand. The pulse was galloping; it did not need me to lay my finger upon it to know that her temperature was very high. "You must get into bed, Rachel," I said, gently: "You are more i l l than I thought you were; I will procure a nurse from the hospital to see after you. Tell me, were you bitten by a mosquito last night?" "Why, yes," she responded. "One got inside my curtain; it bit my little finger and my wrist. See how inflamed they are. My head aches frightfully and I am very giddy." I motioned to the colonel and we both left the room. "Your daughter is infected with the same malady from which Channing suffers," I said hurriedly. "I will do all I can to cure them, but you must follow my instructions implicitly. ^1 must have professional assistance, so nurses must be brought from the hospital. Do not allow Miss Fletcher near the patients; we cannot risk amateur bungling, the cases are far too serious. As to the marriage, it must be postponed; you may thank heaven if I am able to save your daughter's life." I rushed from the hotel. I was like a madman, and yet I was not as guilty as when I awoke that morning. It was given to me to repent at the eleventh hour. I cared not if Rachel married the man she loved. A l l I wanted to do was to save her life. While studying the malaria question on the Campagna I had thought much of the blood. 1 had made extensive experiments in this direction, and gained great faith in a certain disinfectant which I called by the name of spirleen. It was a mixture-of more than one strong disinfectant and could be introduced by inoculation into a healthy or infected subject at will. Up to the present 1 had found no definite results, but 1 believed in the potency of the cure and was determined to try to inoculate Rachel. I went to my rooms, shut myself in, worked up my subject carefully and then returned to the Continental. The manager met me in the hall. "I trust this sickness Is not going to assume the form of an epidemic, doctor," he said anxiously. "My guests are beginning to get frightened, and several of them have left. Mr, Aldis is worse, and Miss Fletcher, one of the colonel's party, has already started for Alexandria, en route for America." It was a relief, at all events, to know that Marian was out of the way. I went to Aldis' door and knocked. A feeble voice responded and I entered. The man was lying on his bed, his face cadaverous; the signs of approaching death were manifest. If I saved him, and surely in such a case any experiment was justifiable, then Rachel at a much earlier stage of the complaint could be delivered. I went straight up to the patient and bent over _him. "I have something here that will either kill or cure you," I said. "May I try it?" He nodded vaguely. I doubt if he really understood me. I had my syringe ready and inoculated him atonce. I then sat down and awaited results. I knew when his fever would begin to return; the temperature ought to rise within an hour. I sat and watched the clock as a man who is drowning watches to see whether the saving rope will reach him. When the hour struck I took Aldis* temperature. It was normal; there was no rise. I took it again in half an hour; still no rise. . "An excellent sign," I said. "Your attack is not coming back." His eyes were a shade brighter, and I gave him a stimulant. I sat there another hour; still no rise of temperature, no sign of the recurrence of the terrible fever. Already the mau looked b e t t e r ^ e was able to turn in his bed and watah me. I gave him a second dose of th&disinfectant and left him. I went straight to Rachel's ropm. She was in a paroxysm of extreme misery. The nurse who Denza had summoned was seated by the bedside. Rachel was delirious; she did not know anyone. "It is a very sharp attack, doctor," said the nurse in French. "It is," I answered. I took the girl's white hand, pushed up her sleeve and introduced the spirleen. My faith in my discovery was justified. As though by a miracle, Rachel, Channing, and last, but not least, Frank Aldis, crept back from the gates of death. Step by step I watched them as health and strength returned to them. They all spoke of me as their savior and I dare not disillusionize ihom. There came a day when Channing and Rachel drove to the church arid wore married. I crept back to Shepheard's hotel after I had been present at, the wedding. I was ill, for I myself had been bitten by the deadly mosquitoes, heeding little what they did to me during those hours when I fought for Rachel's life. Should I administer the spirleen and save myself? No, it seemed useless. The desire for life had left me, and 1 welcomed the penance which I was doomed to undergo. I resolved to return to New York while I was yet able to travel,- and die . at .hoBue^, I have written the formula for making the spirleen on a separate sheet of paper, enclosed with this manuscript Test it, Halifax, when I am gone; it will work wonders in jfotir hands. Thus ended Matcham's confession of crime and repentance. Regarding his discovery, I used the spirleen with good effect in several cases, and there is no doubt that however the dead man may have erred, he was a benefactor of suffering mankind.

This young man, a scientist and an inventor, had been taken into partnership by Carl Zeiss, and on the death of the founder, he acquired sole possession of the works. Two years later he created the Carl Zeiss Stiftung. To this foundation he translerred the ownership of the business and a controlling Bhare In the affiliated glassworks. That is, he translerred the ownership of the Zeiss works to itself. A l l workmen are guaranteed a definite weekly wage which is the minimum they may receive. But all work is done on a piece baste and the weekly income is supposed to be in excess of the minimum wage. In addition to this at the end ol each year a part of the surplus is also distributed. This, during the last fourteen years, has averaged eight per cent- of the wages. Russian Ice Breaker. The breaking of ice in the harbors of Russian seaports has always been a ficrious problem. According to newspaper reports the Russian government has accepted a new 1,800 ton ice breaker, Peter the Great, which will assist vessels through the perilous Gulf of Rfga. This harbor has heretofore been dependent on the ice breaker Yermak of Reval. The new vessel was built at Gothenburg Jts length over all is 180.5 ieet, its greafest breadth ,r>0.8 ieet, and its draft twenty-one feet. Most, of the ship's hold is taken up with .the machinery, which includes main engines ol' l!/h ') horse power and a l.l!<in horse power engine for the forward propeller. The vessel has a rounded bottom and considerable Mare to its sides. The two centrifugal pumps V r tilling the sido tanks ol tho ship can be n-nJ lor savage- operations by means of dock couplings. The ship is lighted by electricity and equipped with a po.'irchlight. The engines, under lorced draft, indicated !5,!j2f> horse power on the vessel's trial trip, and gave a speed of 14½ knots. The total cost ol the vessel was 1,010,000 marks ($240,380), Unknown Gives Gold to the Blind. , An extraordinary gift of igold to a blind man by an anonymous donor took place recently, in the Potteries, says the London Mail. A well-known blind man of Kent street, Hanley, who is regularly to be seen in the principal thoroughfares playing a portable organ, was standing in Lamb street, H^n\ey, when a gentleman, who is unknown to him, pressed a small parcel into his hand, and asked him to put it into his pockut The man did so, and half an hour later the gentleman returned, and asked him if he had opened the parcel. He replied in the negative, and his unknown benefactor then informed him that the parcel contained money, the recipient then asked the gentleman his name, but the donor had disappeared. When tho blind man reached his home he foundtyto his great amazement that tho parcel contained $100 in gold. This fs the second gift of gold within a fewj^eeks to blind men in t.be Potteries. Th tho first case an unknown donor drobped ten sovereigns ln the blind man's can. Cause For Not Refusing. The Countess Howe always had very strict religious scruples, and never accepted any invitation on Sunday, but always devoted that day to her serious duties. On one occasion at Windsor, when she was in attendance on the queen, some party was proposed by^tbe king for Sunday, at which he was anxious that she should be present. But the countess could not be induced to deviate from her fixed plans of seclusion on tbat day. The queen, who was a witness of the discussion, was surprised at the countess's firmness, and could not help baying afterwards to her: "1 wonder at your resolution. I am sure, if the king had been BO urgent with me, I could not have refused." "Madam," replied Lady Howe, "hia' majesty is 'your husband." ' Her Exact Words. Housekeeper—How's this?

LAbout noon of the second day they me to an immense log Jam where tne stream BOW broadened and made audden turn before it plunged over a fall of perhaps two hundred feet fin to the lake. It was the end of their quest If they did not find her there, *4hef would never do so. With still liearts and bated breath they climbed out over the log jam and scrutinized at. A brownish gray patch concealed beneath the great pines caught their ryes. They made their way to it. , "'It's a b'ar, a big Grizzly," exclaimjed Klrkby. i The huge brute was battered out of a l l semblance of life, but that it was a Grizzly Bear was clearly evident. (Further on the two men caught sight :ftuddenly of a dash of blue. Klrkby stepped over to It, lifted it In his hand -land silently extended it to Maitland. at was a sweater, a woman's sweater. JThey recognized it at once.. The old pnan shook his head. MalUand groanten1 aloud. , "See yere," said Klrkby, pointing to vJfhe ragged and torn garment where do all that, of course, but now, after we search this Jam o' logs I guess there's nothln' to do but go back, an' the quicker we git back to the settlement, the quicker we can git back here. I think we can strike acrost the mountains an' save a day an* a half; there's no need of us goia' back up the canon now, I take it." "No," answered the other, "the quicker the better, as you say, and we can head off George and the others that way." They searched the pile eagerly, prying under it, peering into It, upsetting it, so far as they could with their naked hands, but with little result, for they found nothing else.. They had to camp another day, and next morning they hurried straight over the mountains, reaching tbe settlement almost as soon as the others. Maitland with furious energy at once organized a relief party. They hurried back to the logs, tore the Jam to pieces, searched it carefully and found nothing. To drag the lake was impossible. It was hundreds of feet deep and while they worked It froze. The weather had changed some days before, heavy snows had already fallen; they had to get out of the mountains without further delay or else be frozen up to die. Then and not till then did Maitland give up hope. He had refrained from wiring to Philadelphia, but when he reached a telegraph line some ten days after the cloudburst, he sent a long message east, breaking to his brother the awful tidings. And in all that they did he and Kirkby, two of the shrewdest and most experienced of men, showed with singular exactitude how easy It is for the wisest and most capable of men to make mistakes, to leave the plain trail, to fall to deduce the truth from the facts presented. Yet It is difficult to point to a fault in their reasoning, or to find anything left undone In the search! Enid had started down the canon; near the end of it they had discovered one of her garments which they could not conceive any reason for her taking off. It was near the battered body of one of the biggest Grizzlies that either man had ever seen, it had evidence of blood stains upon it; still loration still reere'd bin blood tried toaltland; *not e b t i « # £ : i ^ i * i d the oj wtth solemn, finality,. -..-•Heir "Or in ,tbe, ia*e^;answered Kirkby. s ^ m i i y .

Mr. Stephen Skaltland had a caller. He came at an unusually early hour. Mr. Stephen Maitland, Who was no longer an early riser, had indeed Just finished his t * ' " 1 breakfast when the card of Mr. James Armstrong of Colorado was handed to him. "This, I suppose," he thought testily, "is one of the results of Enid's wanderings into that God-forsaken land. Did you ask the man his business, James?" he said aloud to tbe footman. "Yes, sir. He said he wanted to see you on important business, and when I made bold to ask him what business, he said it was none of mine, and for me to take the message to you, sir." "Impudent," growled Mr. Maitland** "Yes, sir, but he is the kind of a gentleman you don't talk back to, sir." "Well, you go back and tell him that you have given me his card, and I should like to know what he wishes to see me about, that I am very busy this morning and unless it is a matter of Importance—you understand?" "Yes, sir." "I suppose now I shall have the whole west unloaded upon me; every vagabond friend of Robert's and people who meet Enid," he thought, but his reveries were shortly interrupted by the return of the man. "If you please, sir," began James hesitatingly, as he re-entered the room, "he says his business is about the young lady, sir." "Confound his Impudence!" exclaimed Mr. Maitland, more and more annoyed at what he was pleased to characterize mentally as western assurance. "Where is hq?" "In the hall, sir." "''Show him into the library and say I shall be down in a moment." "Very good, sir." It was a decidedly wrathful individual who confronted Stephen Maitland a few moments afterward in the l i - brary, for Armstrong was not accustomed to such cavalier treatment, and had Maitland been other than Enid's father he would have given more outward expression at his indignation over the discourtesy in his reception. "Mr. James Armstrong, I believe," began Mr. Maitland, looking at tbe card in his hand. "Yes, sir." "Er—from Colorado?" ^And proud of it." "Ah, I dare say, I believe you wished to see me about—" "Your daughter, sir.'*5 "And in what way are you concerned about her, sir?" "I wish to make her my wife." "Great God!" exclaimed the'older man in a voice equally divided between horror and astonishment. "How dare you, sir? You amaze me beyond measure with your infernal impudence." "Excuse me, Mr. Maitland," interposed Armstrong quickly and with great spirit and determination, "but where I come from we don't allow anybody to talk to us in this way. You are Enid's father and a much older man than I, but I can't permit you to " "Sir," said astounded Maitland, /drawing himself up at this bold flouting, "you may be a very worthy young man, I have no doubt of it, but it l§ out of the question. My daughter—" Again a less excited hearer might have noticed the emphasis in the pronoun— "Why, she is half-way engaged to me now," interrupted the younger man with a certain contemptuous amusement in his voice, "Look here, Mr. Maitland, I've knocked around this world a good deal. I know what's what I know all about you eastern people and I don't fancy you any more than you fancy us. Miss Enid is quite unspoiled yet and that is why I want her. I'm well able to take care of her, too; I don't know what you've got or how you got it, but I can come near laying down dollar for dollar with you, and mine's all clean money —mines, cattle, lumber—and it's all good money. I made it myself. I left her two weeks ago with her promise that she would think very seriously of my suit. After I came back to Denver— I was called east—I made up my mind that I'd come here when I'd finished my business and have It out with you. Now you can treat me like a dog if you want to, but if you expect to keep peace in tbe family you'd better not, for I tell you plainly, whether you give your consent or not, I mean to win her. All I want ls her consent, and I've pretty nearly got that" ' M r . Stephen Maitland was black with anger at this clear, unequivocal, determined statement of the case from Armstrong's point of view.' "I would rather see her dead," he exclaimed with angry stubbornness, "than married to a man like you. How dare you force yourself into my house and insult me in this way? Were I not an old man I would show you, I would give you a taste W your own manner." The old man's white mustache fairly quivered with what he believed to be righteous indignation. He stepped over to the other and looked hajd at him, his eye* blazing, his ruddy [ cheeks redder than ever. The two men confronted each other unflinchingly for a moment then Mr. Maitland touched a bell button in the wall by his side. Instantly the footman made his appearance. "James," said the old man, his voice shaking and his knees trembling with passion, which he did not quite succeed in controlling, despite a desperate effort. "Show this—er—gentleman the door. ^Good morning, sir; our first and last interview is over." He bowed with ceremonious politeness as he spoke, becoming more and more composed as he felt himself mastering the situation. And Armstrong, to do him Justice, knew a gentleman when he saw himrand secretly admired the older man and began to feel a touch of shame at his own rude way of putting things. "Beg pardon, sir," said the footman, breaking the awkward silence, "but here is a telegram that has Just come, sir." There was nothing for Armstrong to do or say. Indeed, having expressed himself so unrestrainedly to his rapidly- increasing regret, as the old man took the telegram he turned away In considerable discomfiture. James bowing before him,at the door opening into the hall and following him as he slowly passed out. Mr. Stephen Maitland mechanically and with great deliberation and with no premonition of evil tidings, tore open the yellow envelope and glanced at the dispatch. Neither the visitor nor the footman had got out of sight or hearing when they heard the old man groan and fall back helplessly into a chair. Both men turned and ran back to the door, for there was that In the exclamation which gave rise to instant apprehension. Stephen Maitland now, as white as death, sat collapsed in the chair gasping for breath, his hand on his heart; the telegram lay open on the floor. Armstrong recognized the seriousness of the situation, and in three steps was by the other's side. "What is it?" he asked eagerly, his hatred and resentment vanishing at the sight of the old man's ghastly, stricken countenance. "Enid!" gasped her father. "I said I would rather see her—dead, but—it is not true—I— James Armstrong was a man of prompt decision, without a moment's hesitation he picked up the telegram; it was full of expllclty, thus it read: "We were encamped last week In the mountains. Enid went down the canon for a day's fishing alone. A sudden cloudburst filled the canon, washed away the camp. Enid undoubtedly got caught in the torrent and was drowned. We have found some of her clothing, but not her body. Have searched every foot of the canon. Think body has got into the lake, now frozen, snow falling, mountains impassable; will search for her in the spring when the winter breaks. I am following this telegram in person by the first train. Would rather have died a'thousand deaths than had this happen. God help us. "ROBERT M A I T L A N D . " Armstrong read it, stared at it a moment, frowning heavily, passed it over to the footman and turned to the stricken father. "Old man, I loved her," he said, simply. "I love her still; I believe that she loves me. They haven't found her body, clothes mean nothing. I'll find her, I'll search the mountains until I do. Don't give way; something tells me that she's alive, and I'll find her." "If you do," said the broken old man, crushed by the swift and awful response to. his thoughtless exclamation, "and she loves you, you shall bare her for your wife." , "It doesn't need that to make flme find her," answered Armstrong grimly, "she Is a woman, lost In the mountains in the winter, alone. They shouldn't have given up the search. I'll find her as there is a God above me whether she's for me or not." A good deal of a man, this James Armstrong of Colorado, In spite of many things in his past of which he thought so little that he lacked the grace to be ashamed of them. Stephen Maitland looked at him with a certain respect and a growing hope, as he stood there in the library, stern, resolute, strong. Perhaps the bear aa he splashed through the creek and tramped across the rocks and trees down the canon, at least she had not seen him full face, but she recognized him Immediately. The thought tinged with color for a moment her pallid cheek. "I fell into the torrent," she said feebly, putting her hand to her head and striving by speech to put aside that awful remembrance. "You didn't fall in," was the answer, "it was a cloudburst you were caught in it." "I didn't know." "Of course not, how should you?" "And how came I here?" had not weakened. Now his earning desire was to get this woman a b o a fortune—good or ill!—had thrown upon his hands to his house without delay. There was nothing he could do for her out there in the rain* Every drop of whiskey was gone, they were Just two half-drowned, sodden bits of humanity cast up on thai rocky shore, and one was a helpless woman. "Do you know where your camp is?" he asked at last. He did not wish to take her to her own camp, he had a strange instinct of possession In her. In some way he felt he had obtained a right to deal "What Is It?" He Asked Eagerly. C H A P T E R IX. "Over the Hills and Far Away.*9 Recognition—or some other more potent instantaneous force—brought the#woman to a sitting position. The man drew back to give her freedom of action, as she lifted herself on her hands. It was moments before complete consciousness of her situation came to her. The- surprise was yet too great, she saw things dimly through a whirl of driving rain, of a rushing mighty -wind, of a seething sea of water,-but presently it was all plain to her again. She had caught no fair viow of, the man who bad shot "I was lucky enough to pull you out." s "Did you Jump into the flood for me?" The, man nodded. "That's twice you have saved ray life this day," said the girl, forcing herself, womanlike, to the topic that she hated. "It's nothing," deprecated the other." "It may be nothing to you, but It is a great deal to me," was the answer. "And now what is to be done?" "We must get out of here at once," said the man. "You need shelter, food, a fire. Can you walk?" "I don't know." "Let me help yoi£" He >qse to his feet, reached aown to her>took her hands in the strong grasp ©This, owa and raised her lightlyJo-heTTeot i n an effortless wajy which showed his great etren& h . , She ^ i d ^ not Wore than put tbe weight ot her body slightly on her left foot when a spasm of pain shot through her, she swerved and would h"ve fallen had he n«* caught her. He sat her gently on the rock. "My foot" sre said piteously. *-f don't know what's the matter with It." Her high bco's were tightly laced, of course, but Jie could see that her left foot had been badly mauled or sprained; a l r e ^ y the slender ankle was swelling visibly. He examined It swiftly a moment. It might be a sprain, it might be the result of some violent thrust against the rocks, some whirling tree trunks might have caught and crushed her foot, but there was no good in speculating as to causes, the present patent fact was that she could not walk; all the rest waa at that moment unimportant. This unfortunate accident made him the more anxious to get her to a place of shelter without delay. It would be necessary to take off her boot and give the wounded member proper treatment For the present the tight shoe acted as a bandage, which was well. When the man bad withdraws himself from the world, he had Inwardly resolved that no human being should ever invade his domain or share his solitude, and during his long sojourn In the wilderness his determination with her as he would, he had saved her life twice, once by chance, the other as the result of deliberate and heroic endeavor, and yet his honor and his manhood obliged him to offer to take her to her own people if he could. Hence the question, the answer to which he waited so eagerly. "It's down the canon. I am one or Mr. Robert Maltland's party." The man nodded, he didn't know Robert Maitland from Adam, and he cared nothing about him. "How far down?" he asked. "I don't know, how far is it from here to where you—where—where— w e — " "About a mile," he replied, quickly fully understanding her reason for faltering. "Then I think I must have come at -least five miles from the camp this morning." : "It-swill be/four,xnUes away, then,- said the man. The girl nodded. "I couldn't carry you that far,," he murmured half to himself; "I question if there is any camp left there ^anyway. Where was it, down by the war ter's edge?" "Yes." "Every vestige will have been swept away by that, loek at i t " ha pointed over to the lake. "What must we dor* she asked in* stantly, depending upon his greater strength, his larger experience, his masculine force; ' "I shall have to take you,,, to my camp." • "Is it far?"

"Now, Tom," said Betty, with a little air of excitement as she rose the breakfast table that first morn ing at Belle Plain, "I want youHo show me everything!" "I reckon you'll notice some changes," remarked Tom. He went from the room and down the hall a step or two i n advance of her. On the wide porch Betty paused, breathing deep. The house stood on an eminence; directly before i t at the bottom of the slight descent was a B m a l l bayou, beyond this the forest stretched away in one unbroken mass to the Mississippi. "What is it you want to see, anyhow, Betty?" Tqm demanded. "Everything—the place, Tom—Belle Plain! Oh, isn't it beautiful! 1 had no idea how lovely it was!" cried Betty, as with her eyes still fixed on the distant panorama of wood and water she went down the steps, him at her heels—he bet she'd get sick of it all soon enough, that was one comfort! "Why, Tom! Why does the lawn took like this?" "Like what?" inquired Tom. "Why this—all weeds and briers, and the pathos overgrown?" Mr. Ware rubbed his chin reflectively with the back of his hand. "That sort of thing looked all right, Bet," he said, "but it kept five or six of the best hands out of the fields right at the busiest time of the year." "Haven't I slaves enough?" she asked. The durl color crept Into Ware's cheeks. He hated her for that "1!" So she was going to come that on him, was she? "Don't you want to see the crops, Bet?" The girl shook her head and moved swiftly down the path that led from terrace to terrace to the margin o f the bayou. A t the first terrace she paused. "It's positively squalid!" cried Betty, with a little stamp of her foot Ware glanced about with duH eyes. " I ' l l tell you, Betty, I'm busy this morning; you poke about and see what you want done and we'll do it," f he said, and made a hasty retreat to his office. Betty returned* to the porch and seating herself on the top step, with \ her elbows on her knees and her chin sunk in the palms of her hands, gazed about her miserably enough. She Was still there when half an hour later Charley Norton galloped up the drive from the highroad. Catching sight of her on the porch, he sprang from the saddle, and, throwing his reins to a black boy, hurried to her side. "Inspecting your domain, B e t t y r i he asked, as he took his place near her on the step. "Why oidn't you tell me, Char ley— or at least prepare me for this 7" she asked, almost tearfully, "How was I to know, Betty? 1 haven't been here since you went away, dear—what was there to bring me? Old Tom would make a cow jMKure out o f & e Garden' of Eden, wouldn't he—a beautiful, practical, sordid soul he i s ! " 1 Norton spent the day at Belle Plain; and though he was there on his good behavior as the result of an agreement they had reached on board The Naiad, he proposed twice. Tqm was mistaken' in his supposition that Betty Would soon tire of Belle Plain. She demanded men, and teams, and began on the lawns. This interested and fascinated her,. She was out at dun-up to direct her laborers/ She had the advantage of Charley Yortoh's presence and advice for the greater part of each day in the week, Ind Sundays he came to look over what h^d beeh accdmpllsn'ed, a£d, as Tom firmly believed, to put that little tool up to fresh nonsense.

A number of house servants were rescued from the quarters and she began to instruct them i n their new duties. Betty's sphere of influence extended itself. She soon began to have her doubts concerning the treatment accorded the slaves, and was not long ln discovering that Hicks, file overseer, ran things with a heavy hand. Matters reached a crisis one day when, happening to ride through the quarters, she found him disciplining a refractory black. She turned sick at the sight. Here was a slave actually being whipped by another slave while Hicks stood looking on with hia hands l n his pockets, and with a brutal, satisfied air. "Stop!" commanded Betty, her eyes blazing. She strove to keep her voice steady. "You tfhail not remain at Belle Plain another hour." Hicks said nothing. He knew It would take more than her saying so to get him off the place. Betty turned her horse and galloped back to the house. She felt that she was i n no condition to see Tom just at that moot, and dismounting at the door, ran upstairs to her room. Meantime the overseer sought out Ware ln his office. His manner of stating his grievance was singular. He began by swearing at his employer. He had been insulted before a l l the quarter—his rage fairly choked him; he could not speak. Tom seized the opportunity to swear back. "Sent you off the place, did she; well, you'll have to eat crow. I'll do all I can. I don't know what girls were ever made for anyhow, damned if I do!" he added. Hicks consented to eat crow only after Mr. Ware had cursed and cajoled him into a better and more forgiving frame of mind. Later, after Hicks had made .his apology, the two men sjnoked a friendly pipe and discussed the situation. Tom pointed out that opposition was useless, a losing game; you could get your way by less direct means. She wouldn't stay long at Belle PlaiQj, but while she did remain they ,must, avoid any more crises or the sort through which they had Just passed, and presently she'd be sick of the place. In the midst of her activities Betty occasionally found time to think of Bruce Carrlngton. She was sure she did not wish to see him again! But when three weeks had passed she began to feel incensed that he had not appeared. She thought of hi*h with hot cheeks and a quickening *of the heart. It was anger. Then one day when she had decided forever to banish all memory of him from her mind, he presented himself, at Belle Plain. She was in her room Just putting the finishing touches to an especially satisfying toilet when her maid tapped on the door and told her there was a gentleman in the parlor who wished to see her. "Is it Mr. Norton?" asked Betty. "No, Miss—he didn't give no name, Miss." When Betty entered the parlor moment later she saw her caller standing with his back turned toward her as he gazed from one of the windows, but she instantly recognized those broad shoulders, and the fine poise of the shapely head that surmounted them. "Oh, Mr. Carrlngton—" and Botty stopped short, while, her face.grew rather pale and then crimsoned. Then she advanced boldly and hold out a frigid hand. "I didn't know— BO you are alive—you disappeared so suddenly that night—" "Yes, I'm alive," he said, and then with a .smile* "but I fear before you get through with me we'll both wish I were not, Betty. "Do you still hate me, Betty—Miss Malroy—la there anything I can say, or do that will make you forgive me?" He looked at her penitently. But Betty hardened her heart against him , and , prepared to. keep him in place. "Will you sit down?" she indicated a chair. He seated himself and Betty put a safe distance between them. "Are you staying in the neighborhood* Mr; Carrlngton?" she .askefl, rather; unkindly. w » ? : ; , ..-. , ••Np,; I'm not staying in. the neighborhood, i When I left you, I rxuide up my mind I'd wait at New Madrid until * I could come on down here and say I was sorry." * "And it's taken you all this time?" Carrlngton regarded her seriously.. "I reckon I must have come for more time, Betty—Miss Malroy." i n spite of herself, Betty glowed under the caressing humor of his tone. 'tteaily—-y<w muat^have chosen poorly tjien w^en you selected;-New Madrid, i t couldn't ha** been.a good piaot-tor your wfrm.". "I* think If I could have made up my mind to stay there long enough, it would have answered," said Carrlngton. "But when a down-river boat tied up there yesterday it was more than I could stand. You see there's dapger in a town like New Madrid of getting too sorry. I thought we'd better discuss this point—" , "Mayn't I show yqu Belle Plain?" asked, Betty quickly. But Carrlngton shook his head. "I don't care anything about that," he said. "I didn't come here to see Belle Plain." "Then you expect to remain i n the neighborhood?" "I've given up the river, and I'm going to get hold of some land." "Land?" said Betty, with a rising Inflection. "Yes, land." "I thought you were a.j1ver-man?<" "I'm a river-man no longer. I am going to be a planter now. But Til tell you why, and a l l about It some other day." Then he held out his hand. "Good-by," he added. "Are you going?—good-by, Mr. Carrlngton," and Betty's fingers tingled with his masterful clasp long alter ho had gone. C H A P T E R The Shooting-Match at BoggsV The Judge's faith In the reasonableness of mankind having received a staggering blow, there began a somewhat furtive existence for himself, for Solomon Mahaffy, and for the boy. They kept to little frequented byways, and usually It was the early hours ot the morning, or the cool of late afternoons, when they took the road. A certain hot afternoon brought them Into the shaded main street ot 1 * r race-track, straight down the road, and you'll find that out—everybody's there to the hoss-raclng and Bhootingmatch. I reckon you've missed the boss-racing, but you 11 be in time for the > shooting. Why ain't you there, Mr. Carrlngton?" "I'm going now, Mr. Pegloe," an* swered Carrlngton, as he followed the judge, who, with Mahaffy and the boy, had moved off. "Better stop at Boggs'I" Pegloe called after them. But the judge had. already formed his decision. Horse-racing and shooting- matches were suggestive of that progressive spirit, the absence of which he had so much lamented at the jail raising at Pleasantvllle. Memphis was their objective point, but Bongs' became a side issue of importance. They had gained the edge of the village when Carrlngton over; took them. He stepped to Hannibal's side,. "Here, let me carry that long rifle, son!" he said.. Hannibal looked up Into his face, and yielded the piece without a word. Carrlngton balanced It on his big palm. "I reckon i t can shoot—these old guns are hard to beat!" he observed. "She's the closest shooting rifle I ever sighted," said Hannibal prompt' ly. Carrlngton laughed. There was a rusty name-plate on the stock of the old sporting rifle; this caught Carrlngton's eye. "Whafs the name here? Oh, Tur* berville." The judge, a step or two ln advance, wheeled ln his tracks with a startling suddenness. "What?" he faltered, and his face was ashen. "Nothing, I was reading the name She Instantly Recognized the Bread Shoulders, I a straggling village. Near the door of the principal building, a frame tavern, a man was seated, with his feet on the horse-rack. There was no other sign of human occupancy. "How do you do, sir 7" said the judge, halting before this solitary individual whom he conjectured to be the landlord. "What's the name of this bustling metropolis?" continued the judge, cocking hie head on one side. As he spoke, -Bruce Carrlngton appeared in the tavern door; pausing there, he glanced curiously at the shabby wayfarers. "This Is Raleigh, ln Shelby county, Tennessee," said the landlord. "Are you the voice from the tomb?" inquired the Judge, ln a tone of playful sarcasm. Harrington, amused, sauntered toward, him. •That's one for you, Mr. Pegloe!" he said. "I am charmed to meet a gentleman whose> spirit of appreciation shows jhls; fa^miUar^y witfj a literary, allusion,'* said the judge, bowing. . "We fin'V so. dead as we^ook," said Pegloe. "Just you keep on to Bofgs' here; It labours, sir, I suppose?" said Carrlngton. "No, sir—no; my name is Price— Slocum Price! Turberville—Turnerville—" he muttered thickly, staring stupidly at Carrlngton. "It's not a common name; you seem to have heard it before?" said the latter. A spasm of pain passed over the judge's face, "I—I've heard it. The name is on the rifle, you say?" "Here on the stock, yes." The Judge took the gun and exam* ined it in silence. "Where did you get this rifle, Hannibal?" he at length asked brokenly. "I fetched it away from the Barony,, sir; Mr, Crenshaw said I might have it."

Mate AotMDoHles Far Hie TAX Many people favor a policy of more and better roads. It is suggested that the state maintain a good roads fund that would be sufficient to provide excellent roads. It is also suggested that the automobile tax that now goes into the general fund be diverted to the good roads fund. The tax is $3 per car, there are from 40,000 to 50,000 cars in Michigan, which makes the total tax return $150,000. But the suggestion in regard to automobiles goes further than this. According to some ideas on the subject the automobiles in the state should be exempt from local taxation and provisions made to substitute a higher state tax on each car, A tax of $15 or $20 would not meet with any opposition on the part of car owners, and would make the amount available for the improvement of highways one million dollars.—Ex.

Under the supervision of the local commercial organization of Battle Creek a thorough test of C. W. Post's theory of artificial rain making will be given there July 23rd or 24th. The utility of the plan has been repeatedly demonstrated near Post City, Texas. The theory is that repeated discharges of dynamite along a firingline two* miles in length will prr> duce rain. It is based upon the historical fact that rain invariably follows a battle in which the cannonading has been heavy. National and public officials, agriculture experts and newspaper men from Michigan and surrounding states have been invited to attend tbe demonstration and it is anticipated that several thousaud people will visit Battle Greek to witness this unique experiment.

This proves what the better physicians are more and more frequently declaring, viz, that there are adequate substitutes forantoxicants and that they are not necessary i n any branch of medical practice. Man as a Machine. It is a little startling to learn that man is superior to nil mechanisms. In the best artificial machines the efficiency is only 14 per cent. The hu man machine gives a profit of from 25 to 30 per cent on the fuel^ in other words, on the food ronsumed. *X man always wastes energy during the first five minutes of work. Monday's labor in man is the worst and Tuesday's the beat in tbe week—that is, according to a large number ef experiment* made by a distinguished professor Man. he considers, is more liable to make mistakes in tbe afternoon than In the morning.

DENTON S t a r t l i n g S i l o S e n s a t i o n : N e w S a g i n a w F e a t u r e Anchoring the base of stave silos as the ^iant roots anchor for centuries the great oak—the final step in making complete the stave silo* Eventually all silo n*ers will recognise the fact that the stave silo keeps silage perfectly; and to overcome the last objection, the fear of the stave silo blowing down, and to make an even better and stronger silo, we have been eagerly searching for new ideas. Many W years ago we developed the Saginaw Al- • Steel Door Frame, adding convenience, solidity and great strength to the entire structure. The same enterprise, together with keen foresight, developed in 1911, the Saginaw Inner Anchoring Hoop one of the great successes in modern silo construction. And now--1912--with all wondering what possibly Licensed under could be added to the Saginaw Silo, cur engineering Harder Patent No. «27732 department has created and proved through exhaustive tests, a device wonderfully effective and remarkably simple in design and construction, and like all great inventions, "It's a wonder it wasn't thought of before/' This invention will be known to the world aa The Saginaw Base Anchor Like all important Silo improvements ifou get the Base Anchor only in the Saginaw. We will be glad to tell you more about this wonderful improvement. We have a new book shnwinjr dozenb or int< lar^e plants.

She was by no means a light burden, and he did not run away with ber as the heroes of romances do. Elut he was a man far beyond the verage in strength, and with a stout heart and a resolute courage that had always carried him successfully jthrough whatever he attempted, and he had need of all his qualities, physical and mental, before he finished that awful Journey. | The woman struggled a little at prst, then finally resigned herself to that day the sweat stood out on his forehead, his legs trembled under him. How he made the last five hundred feet up the steep wail to a certain broad shelf perhaps an acre in extent where he had built his hut among the mountains, he never llnew; but the last remnant of his force was spent1 when he finally opened the unlatched door with his foot, carried her in the log hut and laid her upon the bed or bunk built against one wall of the cabin. Yet the way he put her down was characteristic of the man. That last vestige of strength had served him w e l l He did not drop her as a less thoughtful and less determined man might have done, he laid her there as gently and as tenderly as if she weighed nothing, and as if he had carried her nowhere. So quiet and easy was his handling of her that she did not wake up at once. So soon as she was out of his arms, he. stood up and stared at her in great alarm, which soon gave way to reassurance. She had not fainted, there was a little tinge of color in her cheek that had rubbed up against his rough hunting coat; she was asleep, her regular breathing told him that Sleep was of course the very best of medicines for her, and yet she should not be allowed to sleep until she had got rid of her wet clothing and until something had been done for her wounded foot It was indeed an embarrassing situation. He surveyed her for a few moments wondering how best to begin. Then realizing the necessity for immediate action, he bent over her and woke her He Stared at H t r In Great Alarm. the situation; indeed, she thought jwfftly, there was nothing else to do, she had no choice, she could not have peen left alone there in the rocks in jthat ralnf she could not walk. He p a * doing the only thing possible. The compulsion ot the inevitable was upon Jthem both. * They went slowly, the man often Stopped for rest, at which times he rould seat her tenderly upon some iPrtfstfate tree, or some rounded boulder, until he was ready to resume his jtaskv He did not bother her with explanation, discussion or other conversation, for which she was most thank- ^JftiL Once or twice during the slow progress she tried to wajfc.fcu^the slightest p r e r ^ " ^ L ^ . J W {foot nearhff ci featteuno land she foead up. Again she stared at him ln bewilderment until he spoke. "This is my house," he said, "we are home." "Home!" sobbed the girl. "Under shelter, then," said the man. "You are very tired and very sleepy, but there is something.to be done; you must take off those wet clothes at once,' you must have something to eat, and 1 must have a look at that foot, and then you can have your sleep out." The girl stared at him, his program,' if a radical one under tbe circumstances, was nevertheless a rational one, indeed the only one. How was it to.^e ca^iesj out? The.man easily " aoughts anoth gaze with his own. "I am a woman, absolutely alone, entirely at your mercy; you are stronger than I, I have no choice but to do what you bid me. And in addition to the natural weakness of my sex I am the more helpless from this foot. What do you intend to do with me? How do you mean to treat me?" It was a bold', a splendid question, and it evoked the answer it merited. "As God is my Judge," said the man quietly, "just as you ought to be treated, as I would want another to treat my mother, or my sister, or my wife"—she noticed how curiously his lips suddenly tightened at that word— "if I had one. I'never harmed a woman in my life," he continued more earnestly, "only one, that is," he corrected himself, and once again she marked that peculiar contraction of the lips. "And I could not help that." he added. "I trust you," said the girl at last, after gazing at him long and hard as if to search out the secrets of his very soul. "You have saved my life and things dearer will be safe with you. I have to trust you." - "I hope," came the quick comment "that it is not only for that. I don't want to be trusted upon.compulsion." "You must have fought terribly for my life in the flood," was the answer. "I can remember what it was now, and you carried me over the rocks and the mountains without fakerlng. Only a man could do what you have done. I trust you anyway." "Thank you," said the man briefly as he bent over the Injured foot again. The boot laced up the front, tho short skirt left all plainly visible. With deft fingers he undid the sodden knot and unlaced it, then stood hesitatingly for a moment "X don't like to cut your only pair of shoes," he said as he made a slight motion to draw it off, and then observing the spasm of pain, stopped. "Needs must," he continued, taking out his knife and slitting the leather. He did It very carefully so as not to ruin the boot beyond repair, and finally succeeded in getting it off without giving her too much pain. And she was not so tired or so miserable as to be unaware of his gentleness. His manner, matter of fact business like, if he had been a doctor one would have called it professional, distinctly pleased her in this trying and unusual position. Her stocking was stained with blood. The man rose to his feet, took from a rude homemade chair a light Mexican blanket and laid it considerately across the girl. "Now if you can manage to get off your stocking yourself, I will see what can be done," he said, turning away. It was the work of a few seconds for her to comply with his request. Hanging the wet stocking carefully over a chair back, he drew back the blanket a little and carefully inspected the poor little foot He saw at once that lt was not an ordinary sprained ankle, bu* it seemed to him that her foot had been caught between two tossing logs, and had been badly bruised. It was very painful, but would not take so long to heal as a sprain. The little foot, normally so white, waa now black and blue and the skin had been roughly torn and broken. He brought a basin of cold water-and a towel and washed off the blood, the girl fighting down the pain and successfully stifling any outcry. "Now," he said, "you must put on this gown and get into bed. By the time you are ready for it I will have some broth for you and then we will bandage that foot. I shall not come i a here-for some time, you will be quite alone and safe." He turned and left the room, shut* ting the door after him as he went out. For a second time that day Enid Maitland undressed herself and this time nervously and in great haste. She was almost too excited and apprehensive to recall the painful circumstances attendant upon her first disrobing. She said she trusted the man absolutely, yet she would not have been human If she had not looked most anxiously toward that closed door. He made plenty of noise tn the other room, bustling about as If to reassure her. She could not rest the weight of her body on her left foot, and getting rid of her wet clothes was a somewhat slow process in spite of her tvs^ade more so by her extreme . M N M M H M M I V The gown he gave her w a g f a * t o o W g f o r h e r , b i r t soft and «ad 9to^m^ ^mm. H4t^i posed herself when he knocked loud upon her door* "May I come in?" he asked. When she bade him enter she saw he had in his hand a saucepan full of some steaming broth. She wondered how he had made lt in such a hurry, but after he poured it into a grnniteware cup and offered it to her, she took It without question. It was thick, warming and nourishing. He stood by her and insisted that she take more and more. Finally she rebelled. "Well, perhaps that will do for tonight," he said; now let's have a look at your foot" She observed that he had laid on the table a long roll of white cloth; she could not know that he had torn up one of his sheets to make bandages, but so it was. He took the little foot tenderly ln his hands. "I am going to hurt you," he said. "I am going to find out if there is anything more than a bruise, any bones broken." ' There was no denying that he did pain her exquisitely. "I can't help it," he said as she cried aloud, "I have got to see what's the matter. I am almost through now." "Go on, I can bear it," she said faintly. "I feel so much better, anyway, now that I am dry and warm." "So far as I can determine," said the man at last, "it is only a bad, ugly bruise; the skin is torn, it has been battered, but it T3 neither sprained nor broken, and I don't think it is going to be very serious. Now I am going to bathe it in the hottest water you can bear,! and then I will bandage it and let you go to sleep." He went out and came back with a kettle of boiling water, with which h»» laved again and again the poor, torn, battered little member. Never In her life had anything been so grateful a3 these repeated applications of hot water. After a while he applied a healing lotion of some kind, then he took his long roll of bandage and wound it dexterously around her foot, no* drawing it too close to prevent circulation, but just tight enough for support, then as he finished she drew it back beneath the cover. "Now," said he, "there is nothing more I can do for you tonight, is there?" "Nothing." "I want you to go ,to sleep now, you will be perfectly safe here. I am going down the canon to search " "No," said the girl apprehensively. "I dare not be left alone here; besides I know how dangerous it would be for you to try to descend the canon In this rain; you have risked enough tor me, you must wait until the morning; I shall feel better then/' "But think of the anxiety of your friends." "I can't help It," was the nervous reply. "I am afraid to be left alone here at night." Her voice trembled; he was fearful she would have a nervous breakdown "Very well," he said soothingly, "I will not leave you till the morning." "Where will you stay?" "I'll make a shakedown for myself in the store room," he answered, "I shall be right within call at any time." It had grown dark outside by this time and the two in the log hut could barely see each other. "I think I shall light the fire," continued the man, "it will be sort of company for you and it gets cold up bere nights at this season. I shouldn't wonder if this rain turned into snow. Besides, it will dry your clothes for you." .Then he went over to the-fireplace, struck a mAtch, touched it to the kindling under the huge logs already prepared, and in a moment a cheerful blase was roaring up through the chimney. Then he picked up from the floor where she had cast them in a heap her bedraggled garments. He Btraightened tbem out as best he could, hung them over the backs of chairs and the table, which he drew as near to the fire as was safe. Having completed this unwonted task he turned to the woman who had watched him curiously and nervously the while. "Is there anything more that I can do for you?" "Nothing. You have been as kind and as gentle as you were strong and brave." He threw his hand out with a deprecating gesture. "Are you quite comfortable?" Yes.1 ' "And your foot?" "8eems very much better." ^ ^ * a « D * uigbt, then. 1 will coil you the » o n t f u i U* said tbe girl gratej O ^ . M e s f r you for a true en latch and no lock. Closed it served to hide the occupant of one room from the view of the other, otherwise it was but a feeble protection. Even had it possessed a lock, a vigorous man could have burst it thrQugh in a moment. These thoughts did not come very clearly to Enid Maitland. Few thoughts of any kind came to her. Where she lay she could see plainly the dancing light of the glorious fire. She was warm, the deftly wrapped bandage, the healing lotion upon her foot, had greatly relieved the pain in that wounded member. The bed was hard but comfortable, much more so than tbe sleeping bags to which of late she had been accustomed. Pew women had gone through such experiences, mental and physical, as had befallen her within the last few hours and lived to tell the story. Had lt not been for the exhaustive strains of body and spirit to which she had been subjected, her mental faculties would have been on the alert and the strangeness of her unique position would have made her so nervous that she could not have slept For the time being, however, the physical demands upon her entity were paramount; she was dry, she was warm, she was fed, she was free from anxiety and she was absolutely unutterably weary. Her thoughts were vague, inchoate, unconcentrated. The fire wavered before her eyes, she closed them In a few moments and did not open them. Without a thought, without,a care, she fell asleep. Her repose was complete, not a dream even disturbed the profound slumber into which she Albeit the room was smaller tharj the other, it was still of a good size. He walked nervously up and down from one end to the other as ceaselessly as a wild animal impatient of captivity stalks the narrow limits of his contracted cage. The even tenor of his life had suddenly been diverted. The ordinary sequence of his days had been abruptly changed. The privacy of five years which he had hoped and dreamed might exist aa long as he, had been rudely broken in upon. Humanity, which- he bad avoided, from which he had fled, which he had cast away forever, had found him. Ablit, excessit, evasit, erupit) And, lo, his departures were all in vain! The world with all its grandeur and its insignificance, with all its powers and its weaknesses, with all its opportunities and its obligations, with all its joys and its sorrows, had knocked at his door; and that the knocking hand was that of a woman, but added to his perplexity and to his dismay. He had cherished a dream that he could live to himself alone with but a memory to bear him company, and from that dream he had been thunderously awakened* Everything was changed. What had once been easy had now become impossible. He might send her away, But thougn he swore her to secrecy she would have to tell her story and something of his; the world would learn some of it and seek him out with insatiable curiosity to know the rest Eyes as keen as his would presently search and scrutinize the moun-~ tains where he had roamed alone. They would see what he had seen, find what he had found. Mankind, Ha Walked Nervously Up and Down. sank. Pretty picture she made; her head thrown backward, her golden hair roughly dried and quickly plaited in long braids! one of which fell along the pillow while tbe other curled lovingly around her neck. Her face in the natural light would have looked pallid from what she had gone through, but the fire cast red glows upon it; the fitful light flickered across her countenance and sometimes deep shadows unrelieved accentuated the paleness born of ber sufferings. There is, no light that plays so many tricks with the Imagination, or that so stimulates the fancy as the light of an open fire. In its sudden outbursts lt sometimes seems to add life touches to the.sleeping and the dead. Had there been any eye to see this girl, she would have made a delightful picture tn the warm glow from the stone hearth. There were no eyes to look, however, save those whicji belonged to. the man on the other side of the door. On the hither side of that dopr In the room where the fire burned on the hearth, there was rest in the heart of the occupant, on the farther •side where the fire only burned in, the heart, there was tumult Not outward and visible, but inwsvd and spiritual, and yet there V a * no lack of apparent manifestation of the turmoil in t b ! man's soul , V gold-lusting, would swarm and hive upon the hills and fight and love and breed and die.

W . J . Y O U N G . G a l v e s t o n . T e x a s w H A T shall we do with the youthful criminal ? That is a problem that requires serious thought. Some of the greatest intellects have pondered over that momentous question, and yet all reforms bearing on the subject are still in an experimental stage. To prevent and protect our children from becoming youthful offenders should be our first endeavor. , Modern municipal hygiene does not attempt to stop the ravages of disease by merely treating those afflicted. The purity of the water supply, fthe sanitary regulations governing dwellings and buildings, the efficiency iand completeness of the sewer system, etc., are given the required attention. Time, thought and money are expended judiciously to protect our physical well being. Protection is the watchword in the municipal department safeguarding our health. • The moral health of our children needs to be guarded and fortified. |If we can check or reduce the number of wayward youths the problem twill be partially Bolved. Many parents feed, clothe and send their children to school, but for* iget to instill into the plastic minds of their offspring the love of truth, (honesty and consideration for the rights of others. Character building in the home is essential to good morals. Parents should co-operate with school teachers and religious instructors in the training of children. "The high instincts of reason, of conscience, of love, of religion—how beautiful and grand they are in the young heart!" Undoubtedly heredity plays an important part i n the character of a ichild. I firmly believe that good and worthy examples, the proper environment and a moral and religions training exert a powerful influence in controlling and eradicating hereditary evil tendencies. Give youthful offenders a chance? Why, of course. Teach them the means to earn an honest living, then give them work and put enough tin their pay envelopes to enable them to live respectably. Lack of employment and insufficient wages produce a harvest of criminals. The wonder is that we have not a larger crop of young lawbreakers. fWhat qhance have children of tender years working long hours in mills, imines and factories? Stunted bodies and minds are not productive of letrong moral characters. Men waxing rich on the profits derived from ichild labor not only dwarf the minds and bodies of the poor, unfortunate •children in their employ, but they kill their souls as well. Give youth the best chance by abolishing conditions that produce youthful criminals. Boys and girls who stray from the straight and narrow path should not be herded with older and more hardened criminals. A little more classification in jail and a little less out of jail might be beneficial to humanity. Confirmed law breakers are professors of crime, and all professors, whether good or evil, take pleasure in instructing the young. Minor offenders should not be treated like seasoned jailbirds. There are many pitfalls for the unwary, and a step downward often means a toboggan slide to the gutter. You, on the height, throw out the life line; there is always a chance that it may be grasped. Publicity should not be given to the petty crimes of first offenders. It does not help the youth to retain or regain his self-respect, and self-respect, if not wholly destroyed, leads to reformation. ny wit SHE RD1A1NS UNMARRIED" MRS. JAMES CUSHING GREEN. M u c h C r u e l t y U n c a l l e d a t W e d d i n g s By Robert N. Fulton, Indianapolis There has been general regret on the part of the more enlightened members of the community regarding the unfortunate display attending the departure of a recently married couple on their wedding journey. Could not a campaign be instituted to inform backward intellects unable H V l l * *° distinguish between fun and decency? It might be ;well to impress on those "not yet under the yoke" that one of the first duties of a husband is to shield his wife, n/>t alone from insult, but from annoyance and humiliation. Even the uncultured might understand that fair play hardly permits the opposition of half a dozen against the necessity of one. The majority of human beings, who have succeeded in emerging from !barbarism, find no special pleasure, either, in the anger of a man or^ the tears of a girl. One is tempted to reverse the judgment of that wise and witty handbill, and agree with New England's great educator, Dr. Elliott, when he observed that bachelors were a mischievous and disorderly class and a detriment to society. A more charitable view, however, might suggest that, in the parting episode of the handcuffs the "beloved friends" bestowed a girl with which 'they had become profitably familiar. It is devoutly to be wished that ipeople may not judge the bride and bridegroom by the company they kept, ffor they certainly proved their desire to escape it, and to depart, unheralded and untonnented upon the "deep, dark and troublesome sea of matri- Inony." G i r l s a s W i v e s o f W e s t e r n F a r m e r s Why do not more city girls become the wives of western farmers? The reason is # ^ | | — - I that a city girl who is willing to work at ^-4**y I stenography or bookkeeping or any other honest employment is too self-respecting to pick up with a western man whom she knows nothing about and to cross the country to be inspected before marriage, even though the westerner is generally wijling to send money for the girl to come out till he \ gets a look at her. We know he is simply longing for her, as some kind of girl is necessary to preside over his shack and keep the cows and chickens from roaming too far from home. She can help remove the litter ifrom in front of the only dopr when it becomes too cluttered up, cook if or tbe men on the ranch and mend and wash for them. True, there is not much housework to be done, as there are generally iltwo rooms in the shack and All the boasted fresh air they can enjoy in •itfce winter months is that which comes through the cracks in the walls. ^.:^3^^ one who knows— "Far-offihills look green." This westi;'^^'^^ iXf^^ is largely a myth and a seltrespecting girl should think ^ ^ • J » g h l y i o £ ierJifeto nut after a man. By Wk B O E , O t M h a , N e k . How shall a widow choose—love or money? Already there have been all sorts of discussions regarding the wills of some of the Titanic millionaires who died that their wives might live. Colonel John Jacob Astor left the vast bulk of his $100,000,000 to his Bon Vincent and $5,000,000 to his beautiful young widow, Madeline Force that was. But it ia not to be hers in case Bhe marries again. William Augustus Spencer, another millionaire who died with Colonel Astor, left the bulk of his fortune to* his Wfciow, Marie Eugenia Spencer, unless she remarries. Then her inccrme is cut to $12,000 a year. What will they do? Nobody knows. Only the other day Mrs. James A. Garland, Jr., heiress to the income of $10,- 000,000 left by her husband, answered the question in her way. She married, despite the proviso of the will that she loses the income of every penny of it should she find another husband. And only last autumn Mrs. Mary Corling Dunlop, widow of the late David Dunlop, Sr., gave up the income of $2,- 000,000 to marry Archibald M. McCrea, cutting down her portion to the trifling Income of $50,000. But let Mrs. Garland of New York and Boston tell how she solved her problem—she gave up her $10,000,000. "Money Not Everything." Today she is off honeymooning with her new love, Francis Cushing Green, for whom she gave up her princely fortune. And let it be said here that though Mr. Green is a prosperous lawyer he has nothing like the wealth which James A. Garland willed to his widow less than six years ago—willed with the proviso that should she ever marry again the income of the $10,- 000,000 Bhould go to his three elder sons and at their deaths to Harvard university. "No, money isn't everything," repeated Mrs. Garland—it was on her wedding eve. "Certainly, I'm marrying for love. And love—oh, it's everything— or nearly so. Besides," she added as an afterthought, "he has enough for us both. Do you know, we are going to be farmers and live down on Cape Cod. We're going to lead jthe simple life, t "And what's to become of the $10,- 000,000? Oh. that will remain in the family, I guess. My three boys—James, Hamilton and Charles—will have the income of it, all right. My fourth boy, Tudor, has already been provided for by his grandfather, and so has my little daughter, Hope. No, Harvard won't get the money yet awhile." And pretty Mrs. Garland, so soon to , be Mrs. Green and million-lees, laughed long and merrily. To look into her dancing eyes and to see the proud smile of love mantle her well-molded features whenever Mr. Green's name was mentioned, no one would have thought that she was giving up without a murmur an income of something like $400,000 a year for love alone. In such a way did her millionaire husband hedge his great fortune roundabout. Not even Mrs. John Jacob Astor will have to forfeit so much shuld she marry again. In Colonel Aster's will she receives the income of $5,000,000 BO long as she shall remain unmarried. Mrs. Green gives up twice as much. As for Mr. Green he was all eat asm, too. He took the com! flee of his wife-to-be as the n i ter-of-fact thing in the wo J to tell of tbe more mat wedding to come.. "Why/' he eapl have known Mrs. Garland ever since we were youngsters and played together. We were always the best of friends, and I always admired her. We grew • up together and she married and all that, and when her husband's estate needed proper care I attended to that So I became manager of the Garland estate; that's all there ls to It. "Mrs. Garland takes a personal interest in the raising of cows and horses and chickens, and we're going to be farmers down on Cape Cod at the place at Bourne. Really, there isn't much about farming that Mrs. Garland doesn't know. We are both exceptionally fond of country life, and so we expect to live in the open the rest of our days." Which may be all very true, but Mrs. Garland-Green loves society, too, and Bhe dotes on • yachting^ and New York has many attractions forher, as has Europe. So the newlyweds' best^friends take.all the simple life talk with Just a teeny-weeny grain of salt and predict that the winters won't see Mr. and Mrs. Green shivering down on Cape Cod, though it may be fine in the summer there. Romantic Life History, Romance has played hide and seek through the life of dainty Marie Tudor of Brookline, Boston's smartest suburb. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederic Tudor and one of the belles of Boston even before her formal debut. Harvard swains went wild over her brunette beauty, but when she met James A. Garland, Jr., Harvard '93, then a senior, his fate was sealed. The cpllege youth didn't have to wait to carve a niche In the world for himself before he could marry. His father, James A. Garland, Sr., vice president of the First National bank of New Y^ork and one of the organizers of the Northern Pacific railroad, was many times a millionaire and doted on his handsome son. So, three months after he was graduated from Harvard, there was a big out-of-door wedding at Brookline, where he was the bridegroom and fetching Miss Marie Tudor the bride. But ten years ago something broke that completely upset Boston society —the Garlands were airing thel* domestic troubles in a divorce court. The wife filed serious charges; the husband came back with some equally disconcerting. He demanded the custody of his four sons and the wife disputed him. Meanwhile his father bad died, leaving him a large portion of his immense fortune, invested in gilt-edged bank and railway stock and in large parcels of real estate. Young Garland, junior no longer, had become a multi-millionalrs. F Wife Proved the Victor. The case was bitterly fought on both sides. In the end the wife won with $15,000 a year alimony, but the husband gained permission to see his sons. So Mrs. Garland withdrew from society and made herself a cou home with her hoys. Mr. Gar! hastened to New York to go into ary work. But he tired of this a n t ] made a world cruise In his big st yacht Barracouta. "I can't forget her; I lev he confl who her" eider sister Mrs. Hlgginson began to devise ways and means. It was a delicate mission, this one of the Bister's, but w k h her native woman's wit she devised a .scheme. There should be a family picnic aboard the Barracouta, so that the boys might see their father again, and, of course, their mother must needs go along to take care of them. Mr. Garland readily agreed, and one pleasant summer's day the Barracouta steamed into quiet Hyannisport harbor and dropped anchor. A launch put ashore, and when it came back— why, there were the boys, and blushing Mrs. Garland, and smiling Mrs. Hlgginson. The boys clambered aboard and were soon inspecting the yacht—it was so long since they had been aboard of her that they had almost forgotten her. Luncheon was soon served, and it looked like old times to see Mrs. Garland at the foot of the table, pouring the tea and doing the honors while her ex-husband looked on proudly from the other end. And there were more picnics, too, with Mrs. Garland along always with Mrs. Hlgginson to chaperon. Boston began to hear about them, too, and held up its hands with all Puritan horror. A divorced wife being seen with her former husband—the idea of it! And dining together in public restaurants and going to the play, Just the two of them! Wasn't it awful? Staid Boston Horrified. "Things can't go on this way," was the burden of the talk of the outraged Bostonians—such people as the Von L . Meyers, the Shaws, the Higginsons, the Hoopers, the Peabodys and the Gardiners—all of the Myopia set in which Mrs. Garland had been such a prominent member. Well, they couldn't. So, one bright day in late September, the Ban* racouta started up Narragansett bay and put in at Bristol. There "Rev. W. L . Hood was sent for. Two relays tives of the bride's, Henry and Thomas Tudor of Boston, happened along and this made up the wedding party. The knot was tied with so little ceremony that the clergyman didn't know the Importance of the parties nor the broken romance which was now i a the mending. The Garlands tried to regain their old position in Boston; they failed. So they cut the conservative Hub oft the map, and Hamilton, too. They sold their Beacon street mansion and their beautiful estate at Hamilton, and went straight to New York. There they took a house at 67 Bast Fiftysecond street, in the most fashionable part of the city, while they could plan a proper mansion on upper Fifth avenue, near Eighty-second street Next, young Mr. Garland bought more than 700 acres of land on the north end of Prudence Island, near Newport, In Narragansett bay, where he laid out a,wonderful estate. 8econd Marriage Happy. Things went BWimmingly. No one would ever have dreamed that it had only been two short years before when the wife left her husband's home in the middle of the night, only half dressed. They were devoted as two sweethearts. In New York a little daughter was born of the second marriage; they named her Hope. New York society, not as prim as Boston's, received the rich young pair with open arms. They were busy on the plans of the mansion they were to build at 1023 Fifth avenue when young Mr. Garland fell ill in 1906. He was hurried to his country home on Prudence island, but gradually grew weaker. As a last resort he was removed to Hanover, Mass., *where he could be nearer the specialist who had his case, but it was of no avail. He died in his wife's arms in September, 1906. The will was read. There were generous bequests to relatives and retainers, and some art gifts, but the entire residuary estate went to the widow, the income to be hers until her death and then to revert to the three elder sons. However, there was a string to the $10,000,000. Mrs. G a r land was to lose the income in case" she remarried. The only bequest to her in fee simple was the Prudence island estate. That was left to her outright. Growth of Mutual Love. Mrs. Garland expressed herself as perfectly satisfied and bought another summer home at Bourne-ori-the-Cape, The will named three executors, and so great were their responsibilities that they were required to give bonds in $1,000,000 each. The estate, too, needed a legal adviser and manager, and what could be more natural than that the young widow should turn to her old friend and playmate, Mr. Green? He took charge at once and under his wise administration the property increased very largely In value as the years rolled by. Business gradually threw the widow and the bachelor lawyer together more and more. To cut It short, as time passed the two began to realise that their relations had become very much more than counsel and client Mr. Green found out that he loved the widow whose estate he had In his keeping, and he told her so.

A sketch of tbe incidents leading to the capture of the Pointe Coupee* Battery at Nashville is given by Theodore G. Carter, captain. Co. K, 7th Minnesota, in the National Tribune as follows: "At Nashville the 5th Minn, was o n the left of the Second Brigade, First. Division, Sixteenth Corps, front line. Its left flank resting on the Granny White pike. The Pointe Coupee bat-* tery was in front of my company. On: Dec. 15th we had charged and driven the enemy's forces from two forts or' redoubts, without stopping to place* guards over the guns, colors and other captured property. Our colonel., W. R. Marshall, was in command of the Third Brigade on the 16th, and "Lay Down Your Arms and Surrender.- he was the only brigade commander who led his brigade in that charge of the Sixteenth Corps, and he was on horseback at that. A lane ran along the front of and below the high, woodland upon which the Pointe Coupee battery was, and tbe Confederates* took the inside fence rails and placed them on top of the outer fence, with, the ends resting on top of the fence* and sloped towards us, the lower ends covered with dirt to keep them in place. They were. laid close together, and it was difficult to climh them. A shell had knocked out, & part of the obstruction. As I was. looking towards the battery (it was pouring grape, canister and shrapnel at us all the time), I did not noticethe movement of the regiment to theright; consequently when I Baw it there was a break in my company o f some 75 or 100 yards.. I told the remaining eight or ten boys that we* would go to that gap and go over. The boys 'boosted' me up, and as I gained the top I saw Col. Marshall come galloping down from the right. He rode out into the crowd of fleeing; Confederates, calling out: 'Lay down your arms and surrender.' I jumped down, and telling the boys to follow me, ran after the colonel, giving the same call.. There were apparently thousands of them trying to get over the hills to the Franklin pike. Our left claimed the capture of that battery, too, yet we had been in possession quite awhile before their linehad fairly started." Sykes' Dog and Hood's Army. After the battle of Nashville a friend* asked President Lincoln if he expected! any more trouble from Hood's army. He replied: "Well, no, MediTl; I think Hood's* army is about in the same fix of Bill* Sykes' dog, down in Sangamon county. Bill had a long, yellow dog that was* forever getting Into the neighbors** meat houses and chicken coops. They had tried to kill it a hundred times, but the dog was always too smart for them. Finally one of them got a small" bag and filled it up with powder, tying: a piece of punk around the neck. WbeJj he saw the dog coming he fired this punk, split open a hot biscuit and put the bag in, then buttered it and threw It out The dog swallowed it at a gulp. Pretty soon there was an explosion, and piece* of the dog fell a l l around. Bill Sykes came along, and, seeing the scraps lying around, said: 1 guess that dog, as a dog, ain't of much more account' There may be fragments of Rood's army around, but I gieas his army, aa an army, ain't o f sjuK* more account* . w '«44. .answer.

Burns Detective Adencv By DAVID CORNELL (Copyrigiit by tbe International press Bureau.) THE HOLLISTER JEWEL ROBBERY The Story of a Mysterious Theft One Monday morning i n AuguBt, 1910, the Independent Burglary Insurance Company called up the office of the Burns Detective Agency and requested that an operative be sent to their offices at once. "Cornell" Bald the manager to me, "you haven't had any experience in the burglary insurance line, but I guess you can handle the work. Go over and see what's up. And, say, Cornell, remember this: this agency ia retained by the year by this insurance company. One of our big customers. Treat their work accordingly." I found the offices of the Independent Company In a Forty-second street building not lar from Fifth avenue. On presenting my card I was ushered at once into the private office of the vice president, Mr. Blaney. "Ah! The man from the Burns Agency?" said Mr. Blaney. "Cornell is the name? Ah, yes; glad they sent you, Mr, Cornell. We've heard something of your work. You've never handled an yof our cases, have you?" "Not any," I saM. "Well, fortunately this isn't a complicated case, or at least we don't think it is. It's merely a case of investigation to assure ourselves of the propriety of a policy holder's claim. A mere matter of form, almost. We always investigate all claims for payments, you know. Sometimes we are convinced that something is wrong; then we instruct your agency to find something for us to start a fight on. In this case, it isn't anything like that In brief, Col. Malcom P. Hollister's home up on Long Island sound was entered by burglars Saturday night and Mrs. Hollister's diamonds and pearls, valued a $75,000, and insured with us for $50,000, were stolen. There is scarcely the slightest possibility that there is anything wrong in the case. Col. Hollister is a fine, highminded man, a gentleman of the old school. He has paid this company thousands of dollars in premiums for the last ten years and never presented a claim before this. We are all of the opinion that we will pay his claim in full, in due time. But—as a matter with a twinkling of his eye. "He isn't rich, you know, not New York rich, but he's comfortably fixed, very comfortably fixed now, since he took my advice and handles the family pocketbook himself." He laughed reminiscently, and I chuckled with him. "Yes," he went on, "the old man had to be advised a little bit some time ago. I advised him. Mrs. Hollister— fine woman, lovely lady, hut inexperienced in handling large sums of money, you know—had been given a free swing at the colonel's bank account. By jove! I tell you she tore a hole into it for two or three years. Yes, sir! Nearly had the colonel off his feet. I said to him, 'Colonel, only one thing for you to do. Shut down on Mrs. Hollister. Don't let her handle a dollar. Otherwise you'll be selling that happy home of yours up on the Sound.* " "And he shut down?" I asked. "Yes, yes. Closed down on her tight. For about a year she's had to go to the colonel for every cent she got, and, believe me, sir, the colonel has been careful, very careful, indeed. O, yes, the colonel is safe enough financially. Anything up t6 a million I should say. I thanked my hew found friend for his friendliness and confidence, and went further On my way, rummaging around Wall street to find all I could about the state of Hollister's finances. There was little enough to find. Apparently the colonel was sound so far as money was concerned, and Glavis was the only man who knew that there ever had been any financial difficulty between him and his wife. Everywhere that I investigated I found Hollister spoken of in the highest terms. He was a fine, honorable gentleman. Mrs. Hollister wasn' so well known among the colonel's friends/ In order to make my investigations thorough I got on a Broadway car and rode up to the theatrical district, to the office of a friend of mine who conducted a booking agency, There I gathered that Mrs. Hollister, formerly Margaret Wynderly, was not as happy with her rich husband as she had expected to be. It seemed that Mrs. Hollister had expensive tastes. The colonel did not approve of them. At one time, BO tho gossip of the Rialto had it, Mrs. Hollister had gone so far as to threaten to go to be an actor someUines, and a pres* agent occasionally, and fatts down on both jobs." "What does he live on?" "Search me. He always has money, though. I've heard that old Hollister sort of takes care of him. Don't believe it, though. The boy is a cheap, brjight-light Bport," I went back to the hotel, and sat around! 'and smoked for awhile until the clerk again- fell Into conversation with me. I led the talk back to the Hollisters. "Was that bunch of theatrical people up there last Saturday night?" I asked. "Sure thing," was the reply. "Was the brother O i t h them?." "O, yes. But I didn't see him drinking around here that time." I bought the clerk a cigar and strolled away toward the Hollister home. Instead of going at once to the house I walked twice around the place sizing it up as if I were a burglar looking for a place to enter. One could hardly imagine a harder prospect from the burglar's point of view. The house vras upon a bluff overlooking the Sound. A l l around it ran a red brick wai! 12 feet high. On top of the wall were long iron spikes. On the side fronting toward the Sound was the lodge of the boatman; in the opposite corner of the grounds was a small living house, evidently the home of the gardener, while in another corner were the stables and garage, with living quarters for coachman and chauffeur. To enter that house a burglar would have to scale the wall, risk detection from one of the three outlying houses, cross a long open space, and break into a house which obviously was well protected with safeguards. The more I looked at the house the more I became interested. If a burglar had ent e r e d and stolen those jewels he must be a man whom it would be an interesting task to run down. But had a burglar entered? Were there any burglars out of prison just then who "would venture such a task? I ran over the list of two-story men' think yotf may not believe things are all right." He rang off. At the Hollister .house I was ushered at once in to Col. HolUster On informing the butler of my mission. "Rather late in getting here," said the colonel. He was an old man, and he was not happy, judging by hia expression. He called Mrs. Hollister. She was a young, charming woman, yet somehow I could not get rid of the Impression that she was still—there in her own home—playing a part. Together they took me over the scene of the robbery. Mrs. Hollister had been accustomed to keeping her jewels in her dressing table in her room. The room was on the second floor. Saturday night, while they were having an informal little dinner downstairs, the window of the room had been opened, the jew$l drawer had been forced and the jewels taken. "A plain case of robbery by someone who had studied the premises for a long time," said the colonel. I asked a score of questions to throw them off the scent, and in the meantime I took a careful look at that window, It was 30 feet from the ground, in a flat wall. I looked at the marks on the frame; and then I nearly whistled in surprise. The marks were made by some clumsy round instrument not at all resembling the efficient jimmy of the experienced burglar. "An amateur's job," said I to myself. I looked more closely, and saw that the window never had been forced open at all. l t had been left unlocked! The marks had been put in for a blind, or I was no judge. To force open such windows as were in the Hollister 'house requires considerable leverage; and the marks of the tool used are sure to sink deep into the wood. In this case, the surface of tbe frame was only bruised— scarcely dented at all. The windows were not locked when the burglar came to do his work! Whoever had done the job had done it from the inside. The window had no part in it. I thanked the Hollisters for their courtesy, excused myself because it was growing late, and said it would we'd find something queer about it." "Why?" I asked. "Because," said he, "Mrs. Hollister's brother's reputation is no secret to me. And Mrs. Hollister's affection for him is known to be almost like a mother's." We sat still and looked at each other for several long, silent seconds. The Chief waited for me to speak. "Chief," I cried, "we'd better find this brother right away." He burst out into his hearty laugh. "Right, Cornell," he said. "But don't worry. I've had the whole office combing Manhattan Island for him ever since you telephoned in what you had found. If we don't find him soon the chase may be a long one. "Why?" I asked. "Because—unless we're all fools at reading the signs—that boy knows something about who got Mrs. Hollister's jewels, and if he does I'm afraid he wouldn't be disposed to stay on this side of the water any longer than he can help." "Why?" I asked again/ .< ^I'The Hollister jewels are too well kr^own on this side to be sold here. | And the brother, if he is in on this,will * want to be in at the sale. Fortunat?- ly, you saw the light in a hurry and reported at once. I immediately got into communication with every ocean steamship line and tOid them to keep an eye open. Hollister hardly can get out of this country unless he's already lett the city to take boat at some other port." While we were sitting thus a telephone call came for the chief. It was from Slavin, one of our men in this city. "Hollister ia under shadow," was Slavin's report. "He's just reserved a birth on the Franconia, to sail tomorrow morning. He's sticking close to his room in the Delmont Hotel in the meantime." "Don't lose eight of him on your life, Slavin," said the chief, and rang off. "That about settles it," he said, turning to me. "Cornell, call up Mrs. Hollister, get her on the wire, and ask her if she will see you alone. If of form, you understand—we're send ing y o u j o w n . t o Jookthe^ thing oyer. b a c k ° t o ~ t h e stage" to" earn"money To Be careful, Mr. Cornell, but be care gratify her whims. ful of our interests as well as the feelings^of Col. Hollister and his family. Assure yourself that the burglary was committed, that Mrs. Hollister's Jewels were stolen, and report. That is the case." That was enough, for before' I had got through with it the Hollister case had developed into a case so sensational, so full of strange features that the Independent Burglary Insurance Company never dreamed of, that even today it is spoken of in the office of the agency as "The Hollister Job." Being new to the work of investigating burglaries for the insurance company I went about the task i n a way considerably different from that employed by the experienced investigator. I did not go to the scene of the robbery. The Hollister home lay up among the hills of Long Island on the sound. I had heard of it as a good example of what taste and moderate wealth—moderate for New York —could do in making complete a home. I had heard of Col. Hollister, too, in the same indirect way. He was a retired bond broker, approximately 65 years old. His first wife All these minute investigations may seem to the layman to be. superfluous in a case like this. What could the Hollister's family affairs have to do with the advent of a burglar in their home? I could not answer this question any better than the reader at the beginning of my search, but successful detective work is largely a matter of watching the small things. It is the small things that the wrongdoer fails to cover, not the large ones; and it is among these small things that the careful detective will often find the tiny item that puts-him on the trail of something big. I had no definite plan i n so carefully looking up the Hollister family circumstances, I only knew that it was my duty as an investigator of this case to find out all about them that I could. I ran down all the information I could scare up i n New York; then, next morning, I bought a ticket to the station on the Long Island Road, where the Hollister home was located. I arrived at the station, Soundhurst, near noon and registered at had died many years before. ' Five the little hotel in the village. The years ago he had married again, this ] clerk at the hotel dined at my table time taking for his bride Margaret ( and I led him to talk about the Hollis- Wynderling, the Margaret Wynderling t ter family.

After the wedding this opposition was said to have simmered down until now report had it that Colonel and Mrs. Hollister were happily at peace with all the world, especially Including Hollister's two grown sons. I had seen pictures of both the Colonel and his young wife in the society sections of the papers. The Colonel was an ardent member of the Nassau Hunt Club, and Mrs. Hollister was credited with having developed a great interest in aviation. This served to keep them bofh In print often enough to make them comparatively well known.

I'm afraid we'll have a hard time recovering your Jewels, Mrs. Hollister! if we ever do." As I said this I watched her closely and I thought that a slight look of relief seemed to flicker ln her eyes; but instantly she began to lament. "O, I hope you do recover them. I never, never will be able to find such perfect stones in another set" But all the time the impression was with me that this woman still was flaying a part, still was acting. r A t the hotel I entered my room i^^tftopped short in surprise to see M*.

"I bee now how this thing is going to work out, and—and I want to spare Mrs. Hollister. Darn it, man, women are made queer. We'll give Mrs. Hollister a chance to—to save her brother." I called up Mrs. Hollister and asked If she would consent to see me alone without her husband's knowledge. "Why?" she demanded. "I cannot say over the phone, Mrs. Hollister," I replied. "But—it is about your brother." There was a silence of several seconds. Then came the answer: "Come to the house at once." "Good," said the chief, "I'll go with you." It was night now, and at the Hollister home we were ushered into the library by a maid. Presently Mrs. Hoi* lister came i n alone and closed the door behind her. ' J y ~ h a i i s I t ?

Her eyes ran from one to the other of us, seeking to read what w e knew. She wasn't acting now, and 1 felt sorry for her. "How do you know that?" she asked. , "Isn't it a fact," continued the chief, "that Colonel Hollister refused to give you any more money to give your brother?" She sank into a chair and sat staring at us in terror. "Mrs. Hollister," said I as gently aa I could, "when you saw me looking at that window didn't you see that I knew just as well as you did tbat no burglar ever had forced his way i a there?" , She was dumb witb terror; s h e strove to speak but the words w o u l d not come. "And don't you know that my suspicions naturally pointed to your brother? And just now we've learned that he's booked to sail on the Fraa* conia in the morning." "And, Mrs. Hollister,' said the Chief with a gentleness I never had SHS* pected him of, "we'd have to arrest your brother on suspicion if he a t - tempts to sail—knowing what w e 4 0 * "What do you want me to d*f* she cried suddenly, flinging out her a n a s . "Don't hurt that poor boy! W h a t dO you want me to do?" I looked at the chief.

Our duty at present merely is to report that we do not advise the payment of your claim without further investigation. Then we will be instructed to continue our investigation at once. Which means that our duty would force us to take your brother into custody." She thought it over for a few minutes. Then she went into the hall and called for her wraps and tbe big touring car. "Where are you going madame." asked the maid. "I've got to run in to the Delmont Hotel," said Mrs. Hollister calmly, "I have an appointment there for UuV evening." Late that night Col. Hollister called up Mr. Blaney of the Independent Burglary Insurance Company. "I say, Blaney," said "drop that claim we presented for Mrs. Hollister's jewels. T,uckiest thing ln the world just happened. Mrs. Hollister's brother just -came out to the house and took a walk down by tbe beach and found the jewel case with the stones all in it lying under a bunch of sand grass. Yes, yes; found them—all of them—yes; the burglars must have dropped them In making their escape.—Yes; probably escaped in a motor boat up the sound.—Yes. Smart boy, that Mrs. Hollister's brother, Blaney. I'm going to do something handsome for him.—Yes; drop the claim completely. The jewels are back here safe in the house, and that's all we care for. Good night, Blaney, good night." A few days later the news of tbe attempted burglary of the Hollister home leaked out, and the newspapersmade a great ado oyer the finding of the stolen jewels. But I wonder what they would have done had they known at the time that what I have told here is the real story of how the Hollister jewels did not disappear.

T h e J u d g e r e c o f "We got here just today, Miss Betty/' said Hannibal. Mr. Ware, careless as to dress, scowled down on the child. He had favored Boggs' with his presence, not because he felt the least interest In horse-racing, but because he had no faith in girls, and especially had he profound mistrust of Betty. She was so much easily portable wealth* a pink-faced chit ready to fail into the arms of the first man who proposed to her. But Charley ^Norton had not seemed disturbed by the planter's forbidding air. "What ragamuffin's this, Betty?" growled Ware disgustedly. But Betty did not seem to hear. "Did you come alone, Hannibal V she asked. "No, ma'am; the judge and Mr. Mahaffy, they fetched me." The judge had drawn nearer as Betty and Hannibal spoke together, t s c s \ l n t h e b o y . t h e g r a n d s o n o f a n o l d _ m e f r i e n d .

"What do you know of the Barony, ^Hannibal?" "I lived at the Barony once, until Uncle Bob took me to Scratch Hill to be with him," Bald Hannibal. "You-^you Hvod at the Barony?" repeated the judge, and a dull wonder struck through his tone. "How long ago—when?" he continued. "I don't know how long It were, but until Uncle Bob carried me away after the old general died." i< 'The judge slipped a hand under the child's chin and tilted his face back so that he might look into It. For a Jong moment he studied closely those small features, then with a shake ot the head be handed the rifle to Carrington, and without a word strode forward. Carrington had been regardi n g Hannibal with a quickened Interest." "Hello!" he said, as the Judge moved off. "You're the boy 1 saw at Scratch H i l l ! " Hannibal gave him a frightened glance, and edged to Mr. Mahaffy's side, but did not answer. ^ The Judge plodded forward, his -shoulders drooped, and his head bowed. For once silence had fixed Its seal upon his lips, no inspiring speech fell from them. He had been suddenly swept back into a past he .had striven these twenty years and more to forget, and his memories shaped themselves fantastically. Surely if ever a man had quitted the'wbrld that knew him, he waa that man! He had died and yet he lived—lived horribly, without soul or heart, the empty xbcll of a man. 1 A turn in the road brought them - v n t i n sight of Boggs* race-track, a "v.fldc, level meadow. The Judge -reused Irresolutely, and turned his 1)!cared face on his friend. •"We'll stop here, Solomon," he said rather wearily, for the spirit of boast and jest was quite gone out of him. ;Ho glanced toward Carrington. "Are -you a resident of these parts, sir?" he ;aetked. "I've been in Raleigh three days al- 'together," answered Carrington, and they continued on across the meadow in silence. Here were men from the small Clearings in homespun and butternut <or fringed hunilng-shlrts, with their worsen folk trailing.after them. Here, too, in lesser numbers, were the lords of the soil, the men who counted their acres by the thousand and their slaves by the score. There was the , flayer oi^skirts among the moving jgroups, the nodding of gay parasols that shaded fresfct young faces, while occasionally a comfortable family' car* rioge with some planter's wife or .daughter'rolled silently over the turf. The judge's dull eye kindled, tpe haggard lines that, streaked his face erased themselves. This was life, opulent and fuIL these swift-rolling carriages with their handsome women, jtthese well-dressed m e n on foot, and splendidly mounted, all did their part toward lifting him out of his gloom. ' A cry from Hannibal drew his attention. Turning, he was in time to the boy bound away. A n instant JawfV to his astonishment, he saw a <p0ttng girl who was seated; with two Often to an open carriage, spring to the 4 * | t o d F a n * dropping to h e r fcirees ' te^ered , U t l e ^Why, Hannibal?" cried Betty Malr o y V * ' M t 0 f Betty! Miss Betty!" and annibal buried his head on her it was different with the Judge; the native magnificence of his mind fitted him for any occasion. "Allow me the honor to present myself, ma'am—Price is my name— Judge Slocum Price. May I be permltted to assume that this ls the Miss Betty of whom my young protege so often speaks V Tom Ware gave him a glance of undisguised astonishment, while Norton regarded him with an expression of stunned and resolute gravity. Betty looked at the judge rather inquiringly. "I am glad he has found friends," she said Blowly. She wanted to believe that Judge Slocum Price was somehow better than he looked, which should have been easy, since it was incredible that he could have been worse. "He has Indeed found friends," said the judge with mellow unction, and swelling visibly. Now Betty caught sight of Carrington and bowed. Occupied with Hannibal and the Judge, she had been unaware of his presence. Carrington stepped forward. "Have you met Mr. Norton, and my brother, Mr. Carrington?" she asked. The two young men shook hands, and Ware Improved the opportunity to inspect the new-comer. But as his glance wandered over him, It took in more than Carrington, for It included the fine figure and swarthy face of Captain Murrell, who, with his eyes fixed on Betty, was thrusting bis eager way through the crowd. Murrell had presented himself at Belle Plain the day before. For upward of a year, Ware had enjoyed great peace of mind as a direct result of his absence from west Tennessee, and when he thought of him at all he had invariably put a period to his meditations with, "I hope to hell he catches it wherever he is!" More than this, Betty had spoken of the captain in no uncertain tones. He was not/to repeat that visit. As Murrell approached, the hot color surged into Betty's face. As for Hannibal, he had gone white to the lips, and his small hand clutched hers desperately. Murrell, with all his hardihood, realized that a too great confidence had placed him in an awkward position, for Betty turned her back on him and began an animated conversation with Carrington and Charley Norton. Hicks, the Belle Plain overseer, pushed his way to MurrelTs side. "Here, John Murrell, ain't you going to show us a trick or two?" he inquired. Murrell turned quickly with a sense of relief. "If you can spare me your rifle," he said, but his face wore a bleak look. "Don't you think you've seen about enough, Bet?" demanded Tom. "You don't care for the shooting, do you?" "That's the very thing I do care for; I think I'd rather see that than the horse-racing," said Betty perversely. Betty now seated herself in the carriage, with Hannibal beside her, quietly determined to miss nothing. The judge, feeling that he had come Into his own, leaned elegantly against the wheel, and explained the merits of each shot as it was made. "I hope you gentlemen are not going to let me walk off with the prize?" said Murrell, approaching the group about the carriage. "Mr. Norton, 1 am told you are clever with the rifle." "I am not shooting today," responded Norton haughtily. Murrell stalked back to the line. "At forty paces I'd risk it myself, ma'am," said the Judge. "But at a hundred, offhand like this, I should most certainly fall—" "It would be hard to beat that—" they heard Murrell say. "At least It would be quite possible to equal It/' said Carrington, advancing with Hannibal's rifle in his hands. it was tossed to his shoulder, and' poured out its cqntents in a bright stream of flame. There was a moment of silence. "Center shot, ma'am!" cried the Judge, "I'll add twenty dollars to the purse?" Norton addressed himself to Carrington. "And I shall hope, sir, to see it go into your pocket." "Our sentiments exactly, ma'am, are they not?" said the Judge. "Perhaps you'd like to bet a little of your money?" remarked Murrell. "I'm ready to do that too, sir," responded Norton quietly. "Five hundred dollars, then, that this gentleman In whose success you take so great an interest, can neither equal nor better my next shot!" Murrell had produced a roll of bills as be spoke. ft* it, Hannibal; what is it, &fethg, d**r T » 00 gJtod to find vald nls t e w away. Norton colored with embarrass* ment Carrington took in the situation. "Walt a minute," he said, and passed bis purse to Norton. "Cover his money, sir," he added briefly. "Thank you, my horses have run away with most of my cash," explained Norton. "Ycur shot!" said Carrtagton shortly, to the outlaw. Murrell taking careful aim, fired, clipping the center. As soon as the result was known* Carrington raised his rifle; his bullet* truer than his opponent's, drove out the center. Murrell turned on him with an oath. "You shoot well, but a board stuck against a tree ls no test for a man's nerve," he said insolently. Carrington was charging his piece. "I only know of one other kind of target," he observed coolly. "Yes—a living target!" cried MurrelL ~ TEXT WAS'N£W T O - H ^ A R ^ ^ German's struggle With^tho English t i n g u w e 3 Prajsetyo^ny^ul fcome- *• 'what Mlfth provoking!

"This^—" the speaker was Judge Price; "this is the place for me. They are a warm-hearted people, sir; a prosperous people, and a patriotic people with an unstinted love of country. I'd like to hang out my shingle here and practice law." The Judge^and Mr. Mahaffy were camped in the woods between Boggs' and Raleigh. Betty had carried Hannibal off to spend the night at Belle Plain. "I crave opportunity, Solomon—the Indorsement of my own class. I feel that I shall have It here," resumed the judge pensively. "Will you stroll Into town with me, Solomon?" he asked. Mahaffy shook his head. "Then let your prayers follow me, for I'm off!" said the judge. Ten minutes' walk brought him to the door of the city tavern, where he found Mr. Pegloe directing the activities of a small colored boy who wa« mopping out his bar. To him the judge made known his eoeeda "Goln' to locate, are you?" said Mr. Pegloe. * "My friends urge It, sir, and I have taken the matter under consideration," answered the Judge. "Well, the only empty house in town ls right over yonder; it belongs to young Charley Norton out at Thicket Point Plantation." The house Mr. Pegloe pointed out was a small frame building; it stood directly on the street, with a narrow porch across the front and a shed addition at the back. The judge scuttled over „to i t The Judge's p«Ise quickened. What a location, and what a fortunate chance that Mr..-Norton was the owner of this most desirable, tenement! He must see him at once. As he turned away to re cross the street and learn from Mr. Pegloe by what road Thicket Point might be reached, Norton himself galloped into the village. Catching sight of the judge, he reined in his horse and swung himself from the saddle. "I was hoping, sir, X might find: you," be said. "A wish I should have echoed had I been aware of it?" responded the judge. "I was about to do myself the honor to wait upon you at your plantation." v; "Then I have saved yon a long walk," said Norton. He surveyed the judge rather dubiously, but listened with kindness as he explained the business that would have taken him to Thicket Point. "The house is quite at your service, sir," he said, at length. "The "ren>—" began the judge. But Mr. Norton, with a delicacy equal to his own, entreated him not to mention the rent The house had come to him as boot la a trade, i t had been occupied by a doctor and a lawyer; these gentlemen *ad each decamped between two days, heavily in debt at the stores and taverns, especially ihe taverns. And thus handsomely did Charley Norton acquit himself of the mission he had undertaken at Betty Malroy'e request That same morning Tom Ware and Captain Murrell were seated in the small detached building at Belle Plain, known as the office, Whore the former spent most of his time when not la the saddle.

I was moved in that direction by the rare patience and Imagination of one little boy. His example convinced me that patience was one of the qualities I needed most, and in seeking It I grew into that work. I was in a hospital on visiting day, while the doctors were changing a plaster cast which held the crippled boy'B limb. The operation was exceedingly painful, I was told. To my surprise, the little sufferer neither stirred nor winced, but made a curious buzzing sound with his mouth. After the doctors left I said to him: "How could you possibly stand It?"

Of the many ways in which the middie- aged woman may vary the effect ot her afternoon gowns none is simpler than the use of a collar and cuffs of white voile edged with scalloping and embroidery in a floral design. Another change may be the frock set of white chiffon with border of black malines, and still another is the one of black net hemstitched with silver thread. Some of these collars are so long in front that they terminate only at the waist line, where they cross in surplice effect and are tucked away under the girdle. An excellent model of this sort is of light blue lawn embroidered with black dots, and a second is of white agaric trimmed with tiny folds of broadcloth, alternating with eponge. Too Eager. Fred Poyner, a Chicago dentist, was recently at a banquet given by the Dental association. He said: "On one side is the right of things and on the other is wrong; sometimes the difference between the two is slight. As the following story shows: A gypsy upon release from jail met a friend. 'What were you in for?' asked the friend. " T found a horse/ the gypsy replied. , l 'Found a horse? Nonsense! They would never put you in jail for finding a horse.' " 'Well, but you see I found him before the owner lost him.' " Voice of Conscience. A western Kentucky negro was in jail awaiting trial -for stealing a calf. Hia wife called to see him. On her way out the jailer, whose name was Grady, halted her. "Mandy," he inquired, "have you got a lawyer for Jim?" "No, sah," said his wife. " E f Jim was guilty I'd git him a lawyer right away; but he tells me he ain't guilty, and so, of co'se, I ain't aimin' to hire none."

A bright lady teacher found this to be true, even of, an ordinary light breakfast of eggs and toast. She says* t "Two years ago I contracted: A.«very annoying form of indigestion. My stomach was in such condition that a simple breakfast of fruitr toast and egg gave me great distress., "I was slow to believe that trouble <*ould come from .such a simple diet, but finally had to give it up, and found a great change upon a cup of hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream, for my morning meal.

A separate state organisation is formed and a resolution was adopted declaring in favor of new party state, county, congressional, legislative, city, township and ward tiCKets. Former Republican State Chairman Frank Knox had made himself the leader of the stateticket faction. He fought hard against the third tickets locally. It was plain that the Knox faction were in a bad way before the convention convened and with the arrival of Sen. Dixon and his declaration for the gothe- lirait policy, Knox surrendered. When the resolution introduced by W. H. Hill, of Detroit, declaring for tbfe third state, county and local tickets same up for discussion, Knox took the platform and said: "Col. Roosevelt has seen fit to change his mind as to the course we should pursue. The first orders 1 took from anybody as a boy just o"t of college were from Col.

We favor the initiative, the referendum and the recall. We favor the recall of all officials when corrupt or incompetent. We condemn the.usurpation by the judiciary of those functions of government which belong to the legislative department by giving to statute law the force and effect not intended by the elected legislative servants of the people. We favor the separation of the Judi- 'clary from politics. We favor principles rather than men. We favor a law which shall compel M candidates for ofllce upon the state ticket and candidates for , United States senator and congressmen and each candidate for the legislature to file with the secretary of state, at 'least 30 day's before election of principles upon ( state and national issues. We favor the passage of a corrupt practices act governing botii primaries and elections, with ample pen* al ties for violations of the same.

Barnes, superintendent of the Rhode Island state sanitorium, the earnings of the ex^ patients of that institution during theyear 1911 would amount to over $266^ 000, This is a sum three times aa^ large as that spent each year for maintenance of the institution, including< four per cent, interest and deprecia-{ tion charges.' • The actual earnings in 1911 x>f 170! ex-patients were obtained by Dr. Barnes. These ranged from $2 to $31 per week, the total earnings for the year amounting to $102,752. 0 ¾ this basis, Dr. Barnes computes the figures above given. He says, however: "Wfcile institutions for the cure, of tuberculosis are good investments, there is good reason for thinking that institutions for tbe isolation of faradvanced cases. would be still better investments." Out of a total of 46,450 hospital days' treatment given, 39,147, or 84 per cent, were free, the treatment costing the state on an average $200 per patient. Out of 188 free cases investigated, 56 had no families and no income on admission to the sanitorium. Out of 132 patients having homes, the number in the family averaged 5.2, and the average family earnings were 5.46. In 59 cases the families had no income, and in only five cases were there any savings, none of which amounted to as much as $100.

Women tourists especially are always anxious to take away souvenirs In the way of a plant, and do not simply pull the flowers, but dig up the plant.

It^ also came on my scalp. It began to itch and I began to scratch. For eighteen or twenty years I could not tell what I passed through with that awful itching. I would scratch until the5 blood would soak through my underwear, and I couldn't talk to my friends on the street but I would be digging and punching that spot, until I was very much ashamed. The itching was so intense I could not sleep after once in bed and warm. I certainly suffered torment with that eczema for many years. "I chased after everything I ever heard of, but all to no avail. I saw the advertisement for Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a sample. Imagine my delight when I applied the first dose to that awful itching fire on my leg and scalp, in less than a minute the itching on both places ceased. I got some more Cuticura Soap and Ointment After the second day I never had another itching spell, and Cuticura Soap and Ointment completely cured me. I was troubled with awful dandruff all over my scalp. The Cuticura Soap has cured that trouble." (Signed) L . R.

State Fair Features With members of the National Grange whom N. P. Hull, Vice- President of the Michigan State Agriculture Society and Gland Master of the State Grange interviewed while in the east at the Democratic National Convention the Michigan State Fair proved most interesting and so much so that Oliver Wilson, Grand Master of the National Grange promised to be the guest of the State Fair on {Gleaner's Day and address the members of the Boys State Fair School and the young tillers of soil now at work on the miniature model farms. The demonstration of good road building, the new dairy building with demonstrations of butte* and cheese making and commercialising of milk, the land show and many other in- Doviations were all so interesting that it was also purposed to Mr. Hull that an invitation be extended to Gov. Woodrow Wilson, nominee for president of the United States that he be present to open the Fair and this was accordingly done. The prospects according to Mr.Hull are very bright. The object of the directors of the Fair is to creat an annual event of both agricultural and industrial interests, a Fair to show the real resources of the State was commended heartily by the members of the Grange who believe that a step in the right direction has been taken. Poor J i i m n t ' We have arrived at the conclusion that most of the trouble in this world is caused by so many men and women using poor Judgement, but for heaven's sake don't etl them so. A man who cannot sit besida a keg of beer twenty minutes and keep outside of it, exercises poor judgement. The man who tries to make love to every pretty girl he meets uses poor judgement, ar i usually winds up in the bug house with his carbuerater busted. The man who goes forth looking for a scrap uses poor judgement; yea verily, for he shall return with his slats caved in and his nose listened. The man who expects to beat a money slot machine uses poor judge, ment in dropping in the first nickel— they are fixed to win. The man who disputes a muscular women with a rolling pin uses poor judgement—him for the hospital. A married women who goes skylarking around making goo goo eyes at the men and neglect a good home uses poor judgement, and gets alt that is coming to her before the sun finally sets in her life. The gambler, the thief, the gossip, the dope fiend, the agnostic, the drunkard, the wayward in all walks of Hfe use bad judgement. M people an but S, A.

John Mitchell, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor, today was sentenced in the District of Columbia supreme court to nine months1 imprisonment for contempt'of court growing out of the Bucks Stove & Range Co. case. An appeal was taken and $4,000 bail furnished to abide by the decision of the upper court. In the same case President Samuel Gompers recently was sentenced to one year and Secretary Frank Morrison to six months. Mr. Mitchell was not in court, but sent a written statement waiving his right to be present. He was to have been sentenced last week, but Justice Wright then declined to pass sentence because he objected to the form of waiver submitted for Mr. Mitchell. New Party Has 50 for Legislature.

Colonel Goethals is a fighter and he will fight a trust as readily as he will fight a labor union. Whole cargoes of tainted meat have been shipped back by the commissary, because the beef trusts' goods were not up to sample. Thousands of square yards of screening were condemned and left unpaid for, as soon as it was discovered that the copper trust had put in so muc|» Iron that they were rapidly falling to pieces with rust.

Enid discovers that her ankle is sprained and that she is unable to walk. Her mysterious rescuer carries her to his camp. Enid goes to sleep In the strange man's hunk. C H A P T E R X—-(Continued.) Have you ever climbed a mountain early in the morning while it was yet dark and having gained some dominant crest stood staring at the far horizon, the empurpled east, while the "dawn came up like thunder?'* Or Ibetter still, have you ever stood within the cold, idark recesses of some deep valley of river or pass and -watched the clear light spread its fcars athwart the heavens like nebulous mighty pinions along the light touched crest of a towering range, until all of a sudden, with a leap almost of joy, the great sun blazed in the high horizon? You might be born a child of the dark, and light might sear and burn your eye balls accustomed to cooler deeper shades, yet you could no more turn away from this glory, though you might hate it, than by mere effort of will you could c,ease to breathe the air. The shock that you might feel, the sudden surprise, is only faintly suggestive of the emotions in the breast of this man. Once long ago the gentlest and tenderest of voices called from the dark to the light, the blind. And it is given to modern science and to modern skill sometimes, to emulate that godlike achievement. Perhaps the surprise, ike yamfeement, the bewilderment, of him who having been blind doth now Bee, if we can imagine It not having been in the case ourselves, will be a better guide to the understanding of this man's emotion when this woman came suddenly into his lonely orbit. His eyes were opened although he would not know it. He fought down his new consciousness and would have none of I t t"et it was there. He loved her! With what joy did Selkirk welcome the savage sharer of his solitude! Suppose she had been a woman of his own race; had she been old, withered, hideous, he must have loved her on the instant, much more if she were young and beautiful. The thing was inevitable. Such passions are born. God forbid that we should deny i t In the busy haunts of men where women are as plenty as blackberries, to use FalstafTs simile, and where a man may sometimes choose between a hundred, or a thousand, such loves are born, forever. A voice in the night, a face in the street, a whispered word, the touch pt a hand, the answering throb of another heart—and behold! two walk together, where before, each walked alone. Sometimes the man or the woman who is born again of love knows it siot, refuses to admit it, refuses to recognize i t Some birth pain, must jwa^en the consciousness of the new If those things are true and possible* under every day .conditions and to ordinary men and women, how much more to this solitary, He had seen tips woman, wbite breasted like the foafm, rising as the ancient goddress from the Paphian seji. CJfirerthat ^collection, as he was a gentleman and a Christian, he would fain draw, a mlaM .ttf-greet' a ,wall. He must not dwell'upon that fact, he. 'would not i m « « ^ v — t m i • son by tbe blaze lay on the white pillow— and he loved her. God pity him, fighting against fact and admission of it, yet how could he help it? He had loved once before in his life, with the fire of youth and spring, but it was not Uke.jthis.,'He did not recognize this new passion .in any light from the past; therefore he would not admit it. Hence, he did not understand it. But he saw and admitted and understood enough to know that the past was no longer the supreme subject in his life, that the present rose higher, bulked larger and hid more and more of his far-off horizon. He fe!t like a knave and a traitor, as if he had been base, disloyal, false to his ideal, recreant to his remembrance. Was he indeed a true man? Did he have that rugged strength, that abiding faith, that eternal consciousness, that lasting affection, beside which the rocky paths he often trod were things transient, perishable, evanescent? Was he a weakling that he fell at the first sight of another woman ? He stopped his ceaseless pace forward and backward, and stopped near that frail and futile door. She was there and there was none to prevent His hand sought the latch. What was he about to do? God forbid that a thought he could not freely share with humanity should enter his brain then. He held all women sacred, and so he had ever done, and this woman in her loneliness, In her helplessness, in l&r weakness, trebly appealed to him. But he would look upon her, he would fain see if she were there, if it were all not a dream, the creation of his disordered Imagination. Men had gone mad in hermitages in the mountains, they had been driven insane in lonely oases in vast deserts; and they had peopled their solitude with men and women. Was this some working of a disordered brain, too too much turned upon itself and with too tremendous \ pressure upon i t producing an illusion? Was there in truth any woman there? He would raise the latch and open the door and look. Once more the hand went stealthily to the latch. The woman slept quietly on. No thin barricade easily unlocked or easily broken protected her. Something intangible, yet stronger than the thickest, the most rigid bars of steel guarded her; something unseen, indescribable, but so unmistakable when it left the latch, It fell gently, he drew back and turned away trembling, a conqueror who mastered himself. He was awake to the truth again. What had he been about to do? Profane, uninvited, the sanctity of her chamber, violate the hospitality of his own house? Even with a proper motive, imperil his self-respect, shatter her trust, endanger that honor which so suddenly became a part of him on demand? She would not probably know; she could never know unless she awoke. What of that? That ancient honor of his life and race rose like a mountain whose scarped face cannot be scaled. He fell back with a swjft turn, a feeling almost womanly; and more men, perhaps, If they lived in feminine isolation, as self-centered as women are so often by necessity, would be as feminine as their s i s t e r s - Influenced him, overcame him. His hand went to his hunting shirt Nervously he tore it open; he grasped a bright object that hung against his breast. As he did so, the thought came to him that not before in five years had he been for a moment unconscious of the pressure of thaft locket over his heart, but now that this other had come, he had to seek for it to find it. The man dragged it out, held it in his hand and opened i t He held it so tightly that it almost gave beneath the strong grasp of his strong hand. From a nearby box he drew another object with his other hand. He took the two to the light, the soft light of the candle upon the table, and stared from one to the other with eyes brimming. Like crystal gazers, he saw other things than those presented to the casual vision. He heard other sounds than the beat of the rain upon the roof, the roar of the wind down the canon, A voice that he had sworn he would never forget, but which, God forgive him, had not now the clearness that it might have , had yesterday, whispered awful words to him. Anon he looked into another face, red, too, with no hue from the hearth or leaping flame, but red with the blood of ghastly wound3. He heard again that report, the roar louder and more terrible than any peal of thunder that rived the clouds above his. head and made the mountains quake and tremble. He was ^conscious again of the awful stillness of death that supervaded. He dropped on his knees, unconscious woman slept quietly on. The red firelight died .away, the glowing coals sank infe&^ray ash. Within the other room the cold dawn^stealing through the unshaded window looked upon a, field of battle—death, wounds, triumphs, defeats—portrayed upon one poor human face, upturned as sometimes victors and "vanquished alike upturn stark faces from the field to the God above who may pity but who has not intervened. So Jacob may have looked after that awful night when he wrestled until the day broke, with the angel, and would not let him go until he blessed him, walking, forever after with halting step as memorial, but with his blessing earned. Hath this man's blessing won or not? And must he pay for it if he hath achieved it? And all the while the woman slept quietly upon the other si<|e of that door. C H A P T E R XI. for the man. In her helplessness she thought of his resourcefulness with eagerness. The man, however, did not appear, and there was nothing for her to do but to wait for liim. Taking one of the blankets from the bed, she sat down and drew it across her knees and took stock of the room. The cabin was built of logs, the room was large, perhaps 12 by 20 feet, with one side completely taken up by the stone fireplace; there were two windows, one on either side of the outer door, which opened toward the southwest. The walls were unplastered save in the chinks between the rough hewn logs of which it was made. untranslatable emdtions that she studied this picture, 'She marked with a certain resentment the bold beauty quitefapparent, despite the dim fading outlines ^of a photograph never very good. So far as she could discern,* the woman was dark haired and dark eyed —her direct antithesis! The casual viewer would have found little of fault in the presentment, but Enid Maitland's eyes were sharpened by what, pray? At any rate, she decided that the woman was of a rather coarse fiber, that in things finer and higher she would be found wanting. She was such a woman, so the girl reasone/i acutely, as might inspire a passionate i W > . T V - thi The Log Hut in the Mountains. What awakened the woman she did not know; in all probability it was the bright sunlight streaming through [ ' the narrow window before her. The cabin was so placed that the sun did not strike fairly into the room until it was some hours high, consequently she had her long sleep out entirely undisturbed. The man had made no effort whatever to awaken her. Whatever tasks he had performed since daybreak had been so silently accomplished that she had not been aware of them. So soon as he could do so, he had left the cabin and was now busily engaged In his daily duties outside the cabin and beyond, earshot. He knew that sleep was the very best medicine for her, and it was best that she should not be disturbed until in her own good time she awoke. The clouds had emptied themselves during the night, and the wind had at last died away toward morning, and now there was a great calm abroad in the land. Tho sunlight was dazzling. Outside, where the untempered rays beat full upon the crests of the mountains, it was doubtless warm, but within the cabin it was chilly. The fire had long since burned completely away, and he had not entered the room to replenish i t Yet Enid Maitland had lain snug and warm under her blankets. She presently tested her wounded foot, by moving it gently, and discovered agreeably that it was much less painful than she had anticipated. The treatment the night before had been very,successful. She <&tfd not get up immediately, but the coldness of the room struck her so soon as she got out of bed. Upon her first awakening she was hardly conscious of her situation; her sleep had b66ti too long and too heavy, and Jjer awakening too graJuat Tor "any" Sudden appreciation of the new condition. the Wi time*, (hat she realized where she was and what had happened. When she did so she arose at once. Her first impulse was to call. Never in her life had she felt such deathlike stillness. Even in the camp almost always there had been a whisper of breeze through ttie pine trees, or the chatter of water over the rocks. But here there were no pine trees and no sound of rushing brook came to her. It was almost painful. She was keen to dress and go out of the house. She stood upon the rude puncheon floor on one foot, scarcely able yet to bear even the lightest pressure upon the other., There were her clothes on chairs and tables before the,fireplace. Such had been the heat thrown out by that huge blaze that a brief inspection convinced, her that everything was thoroughly dry. Dry or wet, she must needs put them on, since they were all she had. She noticed that there were no locks on the doors, and she realized that the only protection she had waa the sense of decency and the honor of the man. That she had been allowed her sleep unmolested made her the more confident on that account She dressed hastily, although it was the work of some difficulty in view of her wounded foot, and of the stiff conditlon of her rough, dried apparel. Presently she was completely clothed, for that disrobed foot With the ' "- ,4 He Caught It Up Quickly, m Over the fireplace and around on one side ran a rude shelf covered with books. She had no opportunity to examine them, although later sho would become familiar with every one of them, I N , TnTo the walls on the other side* .were driven wooden pegs; from some of IfieiQ hung a pair of snow shoes, a ! M U l U U j # £ k ^ heavy Winchester rifle, fishing tackle alls of the rude cabin for some- and other necessary wilderness paraisy bandages upon it, she could >r stocking over it, and even In that, she could in to put on ber boof - - " t w a r d , the pre- rjggs wearing for her phernalia. On the puncheon floor wolf and bear skins were spread. In one corner against tho wall again were piled several splendid pairs of horns from the mountain sheep. The furniture consisted of the single bed or berth in which she had slept, built against the wall in one of the corners, a rude table on which were writing materials and some books. A row of curtained shelves, evidently made of small boxes and surmounted by a mirror, occupied another space. There were two or three chairs, the handiwork of tbe owner, comfortable enough in spite of their rude construction. On some other pegs hung a slicker and a sou'wester, a fur overcoat, a fur cap and other rough clothes; a pair of heavy boots stood by the fireplace. On another shelf there were a number of scientific Instruments, the nature of which she could not determine, although she could see that they were all in a beautiful state of preservation. There'was.plenty of rude comfort In tbe room, which was excessively mannish. In fact, there was nothing anywhere which In any way spoke of the existence of woman—except a picture in a small, rough, wooden frame which stood on the table before which she sat down. The picture was of a handsome woman—naturally Enid Maitland saw that before anything else. She would not have been a woman i f that had not engaged her attention more forcibly than any other fact i n the room. She picked it up and studied It long and earnestly, quite uncon* •clous of the reason for her Interest and yet a certain uneasy feeling might have warned her of what waa toward In her bosom. v This young woman had not y e t had fo get ber bearings.

She was nun* gry, ravenously so. She began to bef a little alarmed, and bad just about made up her mind to rise and stum* ble out as she was, when she heard steps outside and a knock on the door. "What is it?" she asked in response, "May I come In?" "Yes," was the quick answer. The man opened the door, left It ajar and entered the room. "Have you been awake long?" he began abruptly. "Not very." "I didn't disturb you, hecause you heeded sleep more than anything else. How do you feel?'* "Greatly refreshed, thank fon*t$i "And hungry,, I suppose?" "Very."

A few men make money suddenly or inherit a considerable amount and become sudden investors. The rule is that a man must be a saver of money for a considerable time before he becomes a buyer of securities. So the first and most vital question is, "What shall I do with my small savings ?" There are more than forty forms of co-operative, mutual benefit, savings and pther similar associations i n the United States. They are organized to take care of savings i n any ^amount from the smallest to the greatest sums. Many of them are excellently managed, honest i n intent and are worthy of encouragement Some are properly looked upon with suspicion. Most generally used, of course, are the savings banks. They have been 'tried by fire. Speaking generally, they are the most secure financial institutions we have. Our states have wisely regulated their operations— most of themjja^ve) Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Y o r k have done best. Ohio has a good law. Less protection for the savings bank depositor is offered i n the south and west than is judged wise to furnish i n the east. Here are some of the prohibitions the New York law puts upon its savings institutions: They cannot loan money on notes, drafts, bills of exchange or any personal securities whatever. They cannot buy stocks. They cannot buy bonds or other forms of security issued by any industrial, manufacturing or street railway company. They cannot buy or loan money on farm lands nor on mortgages outside of New York state. They cannot buy bonds which are not, at least i n part, first mortgages on the property bonded. They cannot buy real estate bonds or mortgages until after a committee of the bank's trustees makes a thorough examination of the property on which the bonds or mortgages are to be placed. All of these restrictions are salutary. They indicate some of the safeguards a prudent man ought to throw around his savings and also the tests he ought to make of his investment selections.

N. BUNN, M. D., Chicago Upon the authority of a Chicago physician it was recently asserted that to deprive the human race of salt for even a few months would have a disastrous effect upon the health of the people. This, I believe, has always been the teaching of our textbooks, and I am not prepared to dispute its truth, i n so far as civilized man is concerned. , There are, however, upon this earth many animals, wild or domestic, which get little or no salt and yet are healthy. True, they have a craving for it, as is shown by T. LOUIS,—Frances Bloom no longer rejoices in the appellation of "the meanest girl in S t Louis." Seven weeks in the workhouse have cured her of a deal of what she calls her "meanness." She is willing, nay,.she is eager, to be good. A l l that she desires now is to get out of the workhouse. If he i i convinced of the honesty of her refomation Judge Earl Kimmel, the "Golden Rule" poUce judge of St Louis, may parole Frances Bloom. "Oh, I will be good when I get out," she said at the city hospital, where she is at present. "I have had enough of being bad. "There is nothing in being bad. You just fight the world and yourself and you get tired of it. When you are bad you are always in trouble. Life is hard. First, there are the police to flght. Then there are the judges. Then comes the workhouse, the. guards and prison discipline, and all that. "| tell ytfifit is enough to kill a man of steel, let alone a woman, to flght society and the agents which society employs to make you good." Frances Bloom is not quite 19 years old. Yet she has four years ln the Girls' Industrial school at Chlllicothe to her discredit. She has been mar* ried almost a year. She has six months in the workhouse before' her. Was Charged With Vagrancy. •It all came about when Frances waa arrested at Sixteenth and Market streets May 14 charged with vagrancy. Patrolman Thies, who made the arrest, says that Frances "pulled a hatpin on him" and stabbed him through the arm. Frances says that it all came about through Patrolman Thies putting his arm around her head and'hat when he took her to the patrol box to "call the wagon." "He stuck the hatpin through his own arm," she said. "I admit that afterwards I bit and scratched him. But that was no way to treat a lady. Now, honest, was it?. How would you like the fact that when given the opportunity ihey devour it in astonishing quantities, and hunters have long taken advantage of the fact that wild animals will return to the salt lick. But •when there is no such spot known to them they live their whole lives rwithoutit . Of the use, of salt for seasoning and preserving their food the North iAmerican Indians knew absolutely nothing, yet all authorities agree they | your own wife, sweetheart, sister "or were a particularly healthy people, until they were afflicted by the white j daughter to be treated that way?" You shudder and admit that it does not appeal to your idea of the courtesy due a lady of your family. "They put me in the' lockup, and next day took me before Judge Kimmel. There was my first streak of luck. I have been in hard luck ever man's vices and the white man's diseases. I t is true there are some accounts to the effect that their medicine men had noted the action of animah above referred to and administered salt to their patients, and they may thus have benefited individual cases. But as a race they were a meat-eating people, without salt, and yet a healthy people. Furthermore, white men who went among them and lived as they lived scarcely missed the salt after they became used to its absence. C r u e l t y t o P o o r W o r k i n g G i r l s The other day it was suggested again that instead of going into factories women J P I A and girls should turn more generally to O l O p housework. The suggestion is all right, but there is a big field for improvement i n the life of the average woman who does housework for others, and the leading American women could do lots of good for their sex by introducing a better plan for the poor girls who do the housework. At the present time and for as long as I can recollect girls have had to work from 6:00 a. m. to 8:00 or 9:00 p. m., without time to eat properly or to take care of their .bodies. I know positively that many girls are nervous wrecks after doing this kind of work for some time. They have Sunday evenings and Thursday afternoon to themselves, hut most of them are too tired to enjoy their few hours. In no other country are the girls forced to work so fast or to do so much i n so short a time as here: Stop this cruelty and the girls w i l l not go to the factories or be w i l l - ing to marry lazy men, drunkards and gamblers. By MARIE J . MOBEfiAM, Boston T e a c h e r s M u s t B e T a u g h t T h e i r B u s i n e s s Pedagogy is the most neglected of all sciences. Before there are good pupils there must %e good teachers. I f a school system turns out inefficient, stupid graduates and that same system is responsible for the turning out of the teachers—how can the latter be anything except stupid and inefficient? The pedagogues teach the pupils—-but who teaches the pedagogues? I t is a l l a vicious circle. The teaching faculty is a distinct faculty. A man may know a l l there is to 1 "^bomes, ^ ^ j * ^ w i t h know about chemistry, say, aiid yet not be t h e * since I lost my father, ten years ago. But Judge Kimmel is a nice man. He gave me nine months in the workhouse. I felt like thanking him. He 'did it so nicely. "I liked it fine at the workhouse, too. Mr. White, the superintendent, is true to his name. He is a white man. He treats you as if you were a human being, not a dog. They told me that once he was a policeman, too. I can hardly believe it. He treated me simply grand, talked to me and made me see that I was a very foolish girl to act wildly. • "They sent me to the hospital. I am getting well fast" Tells Her Life Story. In response to questions' ttys waif of the world told the following story: "I was born in Chicago. My father Was a shoemaker. He followed his trade in various large and small cities. I have lived ln New York and in small townst in Ohio, Illinois and Missouri, where my father worked. But for fifteen years I have recognized S t Louis as my home. "Ten years ago my father and mother separated. My mother married again. I guess I gave her a lot of trouble. I was wild, but not a bad kid. Perhaps my stepfather did not like me. In any event, I was sent to the Girls' Industrial home at Chlllicothe. I was 14 at that time. 'That Is one thing they do for you at Chlllicothe. They give you a good education. I had gone to work at 10 years old in a factory. I never had any education at home. But I learned to read and to write and to sew and to cook and do a lot of useful things in the Industrial school. "The trouble is not with the authorities. It is with the girls themselves. |You see, there is no separation of girls. Innocent young girls who *V : sent there fttaptf because little girl was wild. Her face is a wild, wilful face. She is strong and willful and full of energy, an energy that If directed rightjy might be a power for good, Misdirected it might be a power for evil. ^ Quite evidently her parents failed her. This might be taken as an argument against parental and in favor of state control, the argument of the Socialists. When Frances Bloom's parents failed her the state took her in charge. Just how well the state fulfilled its duty to 14-year-old Frances Bloom her story of her life at the state industrial school sets forth in full. "When my parents failed me," she says in effect, "I knew nothing of evil. When the state took charge • of me I learnt, everything that was evil." Claim of the State. Now the state which failed Frances Bloom claims that she owes it a debt of good conduct and of proper behavior. It has sent her to the workhouse for 270 days and demands that Bhe shall pay that debt, $600, in full. Frances Bloom is paying the state what the state claims she owes it for infractions of its "be good" rules. How can Frances Bloom collect from the state what the state owes her, the state which declares that all men and women are born free and equal and have got an equal right to happiness and to prosperity? What has the state done for its ward, Frances Bloom? It put her in a "home," where she learned evil. True, she admits her debt to the state. She admits that it gave her a scholastic education. for the evil that Frances Bloom, product of the school, may have done? Evidently she owes but little to her parents or to the state. But every human being owes something to society. Frances Bloom owes that common debt. It is up to her npw to make good the debt. Her entire past is against her. Calvin White's Opinion. N "There may be some hope for m«n who come to the workhouse," says Calvin White, superintendent. "There is no hope for the women who come here. "They are all weaklings. They should all be in homes for the incompetent, for the weak, for the hopeless." What good will keeping Frances Bloom in the workhouse do? What is to be done with this strong, energetic young girl, whose parents failed her and whose state sent her where she learnt little save what was evil? I 4 Clearly, it is a question that, Booner or later, society must answer in the full.—Republic. Associated WKh Thieves, But ln giving her that education it obliged her to associate with thieves and with immoral women. "Innocent young girls, whose only crime is that they have neither pasents nor homes," says Frances Bloom, "are obliged by the state to associate with thieves; and with immoral women,'* * Is the state fulfilling its whole duty to "innocent0 young girls whose "only crime is that they have neither parents nor homes?" "What will you do when you become a free agent again?" was the Question ukejl of Frances Bloom. "I will go to the home of my married sister," she said. "She has been good to me. I will work.

Gufflng Wilcox in the New Orleans Times-Democrat I was taken, one dark, rainy night, by an affable old negro woman to her cabin, in the outskirts of the city. She came to me in tears: "Doctah, I des wisht yoh come an' see my' Samson. He 'pears mons'ous cur'ous, an' he acts des-like he 'stracted." At her cabin I found her son, a tremendous fellow, as black as a coal and evidently-an athlete, with no evidence of a wound upon his body, but with a tendency to bear off to one side as he walked, an apparent inability to talk, and possessed of a persistent effort to march and keep time to martial music, which he could not. do. Aunt -#annah told me that her son had always been strong and healthy, and that when he left Washington ,-with the army he was perfectly sound fend "des like de res' of de folks; but Bey fotch him back to his po' ole •mammy dee like yoh se him, doctah, an' I des skeered plumb outer my senses, dat I is." I examined Samson carefully and could find not the slightest thing the •matter with him, and half believed! that he was shamming. The room was whitewashed and I noticed a streak entirely around it .that was so evenly drawn that it attracted my attention, but in the stir- ?ring events of those days I really paid scant heed to so trifling a case as Asamson's, and so apparently trivial an ^Indication as was that level streak on the wall. I spent several years in Paris and in Germany after the war, and it waa not until 1886 that I was back in Washington. We had an international convention there at the time, and were taken to various public institutions, among With a Tendency to Bear Off to One Side. which was a little asylum for poor and insane negroes. In one room, as we were passing the door, I happened to observe on the whitewashed wall a well-worn streak drawn so level and circling the room so perfectly that it called to my mind a vision which fnad wholly forgotten. Before noon the next day we had* Samson's small room looking like a hospital operating room, and the great black frame lay on the table under the influence of ether. I cut open the right side of the thick skull, and sare enough, a splintered piece of bone from an old depressed fracture pressed into the brain. I lifted it, dressed it with aseptics, and replaced skull and scalp and placed him in bed. / Then we set about reviving htm. Presently Samson opened his eye* and stared about him.

G. Chapman.) On the twelfth of November, 1899, toward the end of a morning during which I had seen many patients, a lady giving the name of Mrs. Tankerville asked for an interview. She was admitted and one glance told me that she was not an ordinary patient. Her eyes were dark, restless and filled ' with nervous force and determination. Her whole face was very much lined, her cheeks sunken. "I khave come, Doctor Halifax," she said, "to beg of you to save the reason of a miserable woman." "You allude to mental trouble?" I Queried. "Yes; to heartbreak, shame and distress. I came up to the city last night, wondering to whom I could turn for aid. A friend had once told me of you, and I resolved to seek your sympathy." "I will give you my best attention, Mrs. Tankerville," I said, "as soon as I have dispensed with several patients who areswaiting for me in the reception room.'^v Having finished With my callers I returned to Mrs. Tankerville. She was standing by one of the windows, and I noticed with surprise that she was reading a manuscript of mine which I had been preparing for a medical journal and had left open on the table. The paper dealt solely with technical subjects, and I wondered what she found of interest in it. She laid it down when I appeared and without seating herself began to speak. "Doctor Halifax, I will tell you the cause of my trouble in a moment or two. But, in order that you may clearly understand my position, I should first like to give you some particulars of my past life. I married young; I had a husband who deeply loved me. We had plenty of private means and one child, a girl. Six years ago my first sorrow came; my husband died'. After his death all my love was lavished on my girl, Susanna, and she was worthy of all the affection I bestowed upon her. Between three and four months ago came the beginning of that awful tragedy which causes me to seek your aid today. Susanna was invited to visit an old relation of her father's, an extremely wealthy and eccentric woman. Her name was Stuart; and was unmarried, and^ lived in a lonely oottage on the outskirts of Westchester, N . Y. Miss Stuart was a confirmed miser, and it was reported that she had much treasure hidden away. My husband was Miss Stuart's firBt cousin, and she wrote expressing a strong wish to make the acquaintance of his daughter. Susanna wrote back that she would come if her mother was also ^-itf'vjted, but Miss Stuart refused, stating that Susanna was her own blood relation, but that I was not. Susanna thereupon declared that she would not pay any further attention to her, but thinking that my girl might benefit by it in the future, I insisted upon her going to Westchester by herself. She had been- with Miss Stuart for six weeks, when one day the door opened, and Susanna walked in. I started with amazement at the sight of her face.' A l l the color had left her cheeks, her eyes were filled with a wild look of terror. She came straight up to me and caught hold of my hands. "'Hide me, mother,* she wailed; "'hide me. I have run away/ "'But why, my dear?' I asked. *What have you run away from ?'': " 'Something terrible has happened,' she answered. 'Cousin Jane and I were alone in the house last night. We went to bed early, for I was tired; I had walked far in the country during the day., I fell asleep and began to dream. The night was a moonlight one, and the light of the moon streamed into my room. In my dream a man came into my room, took up a knife of mine, laid it down again, stared hard at me and went out. A great horror seized me, for it seemed that I knew the man and that his face was quite familiar. I awoke, and there was no one there—I called out, but there Was no answer. The room was empty save for myself; After a time I dropped asleep again. In the morning I rose early, and went Into my cousin's room. Mother, she was id. She had been r&urdefed in^the. Borne one ha had completely unnerved her, and she scarcely knew what she was doing. Two hours later the police came; they had little difficulty in tracing her, and arrested my child on the charge of having murdered Miss Jane Stuart of Heath Cottage, Westchester, During the trial everything went against Susanna. I had the very best legal advice that money could procure. My lawyer asked her about her curious dream, but she had nothing new to tell him. "'It was a queer and vivid dream,* she would repeat. 'I have certainly seen the man's features before. I know his face quite well, and it was he who laid my knife on the chair.' " 'Were you asleep or awake when you saw him?' Mr. Minchin asked her. " 'I was- asleep,' she said. 'It was only a dream.' "Mr. Minchin had to admit that there was nothing in this dream, and although it was just mentioned at the trial, no stress was laid upon it. Anff my child was declared guilty. She is to be electrocuted on the 5th of December, in less than three weeks' time. Do you believe in dreams, Doctor Halifax?" "There are occasions when dreams seem to prophesy-coming events," I replied. "I am glad to hear- you admit as much. You will be then merciful to my dream. My daughter has dreamed, and so have I. I have dreamed that the murderer is a man, and that he is to be found in the west. I have dreamed that his accusing conscience is driving him mad, and that he will confess if given time. The governor ofJ the state has already refused to grant a reprieve, but he must be appealed to again." "What! on the plea that you have' dreamed a dream, and that your daughter has done the same?" I exclaimed. "You speafc like the others," ehe said slowly. "My lawyer refuses to interfere. Will you do thfe thing for me? I have heard of your goodness of heart, doctor; Burely you will not condemn me to despair?" "I would most readily help you to appeal if there was the slightest chance of success, Mrs. Tankerville," I responded. "But it would be wrong to deceive you—there is none. Dreams are not tangible evidence. Have you nothing further to go upon? What other relations had the murdered woman besides your daughter?" "Some nephews and nieces in California; no one else." "Now, Mrs. Tankerville, I wish you would give me an outline of the evidence for and against your daughter." "There were witnesses to prove that Susanna disliked Miss Stuart from the start," she answered. "The old servant, Peggy by name, gave graphic accounts of her mistress's terrible temper, and the many ways in .; which she tried to curb and annoy Susanna, who was a high-spirited girl. Her final taunt was that Susanna had come to visit her in the hope of inheriting a portion of her money. On one occasion, a few. days before the murder, old Peggy happened to be passing through the room and she heard Miss Stuart say to Susanna that it had been her intention to leave her $100,000 in her will, but that she meant to alter it and had written to her lawyer for that purpose. Susanna's reply to this was a mocking laugh, and she ran out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Miss Stuart turned to the old servant and said: " 'That girl thinks I am not in earnest, but I will prove my words. She shall never have a cent of my money.' "At the Bame time Miss Stuart spoke to old Peggy of her relations in California and said that they would not be forgptten in her will. But the part of the evidence which most strongly pointed to my child's guilt was the following: "Peggy had a daughter in a distant part of the state, who was i l l , although not dangerously so. She wanted to go and see her, and Susanna begged that she might be allowed to remain away for the night Miss Stuart refused; but Susanna pleaded, offering to undertake Peggy's duties in' her absence* Finally?Hiss Stuart insane with terror/ Hitchin went to fetch a doctor and the police. The house was examined, and the garden knife which Susanna had been known to purchase a week back was found in the girl's room on a chair, stained with blood. Then Susanna, disappeared. "Her flight made suspicion doubly strong and her arrest followed. You can see-what a fatal .web-«of< circumstantial evidence was thus woven around my girl. The motive was supposed to be discovered in my daughter's desire to get the old woman out of the world before she altered her will, and the fact that Susanna had a large fortune of her own made no difference in the feelings of judge and jury against her. A l l I ask for is a postponement of the execution, doctor. If I*can secure that, something tells me that my child will ultimately be saved. She must not be executed on the 5th of December. I am obeying an impulse stronger even than maternal love. A voice is commanding me, and I must obey it." "What is the name of the family in California, the relations of the murdered woman?" I asked. "They bear the same name—Stuart, and live in Los Angeles, on the Orange Flower ranch." "What do you know about these people?" "Scarcely anything. After the death the old'lady's papers were read, and there were several from a man named Robert. Each letter contained an earnest appeal for money. The last letter which Miss Stuart must have received six weeke before her death contained an urgent request for $1,000." "Was it granted?" "I do not know. Miss Stuart kept no copies .of her own letters " "Has this family of Stuarts ever been in the East?" "So far as I can tell, no." "Nevertheless," I said, "I believe that it is in the West we must look for the murderer. Mrs. Tankerville, my opinion is not worth much, but as far as it goes I am with you heart and soul. Your child never killed' Miss "Stuart A girl such as you describe daily prepared for an important experiment, which you would not under stand. In an ordinary case It would give typhoid of the very worst type." "You must pardon me, doctor," she said. "I am unstrung, nervous, and hardly know what I am doing or saying. I did not know all that when I tried to take the bottle. And now I must go. I thank you for your kind sympathy." When she had gone I sat down to think matters over. The woman was a widow, and. the child awaiting a shameful death was her only one. The innocent child—for I felt that she was innocent—had aroused 'my keenest sympathy. There seemed to be no way out of the trouble, but T could .not rest until I had gone to Westchester and looked over the scene of the crime. It was all useless groping in the dark, but I felt impelled to do something, anything that might have some bearing on the case. Like Mrs. Tankerville, it seemed as though I were obeying the command of .an unseen power. When I had forwarded the telegram to Los Angeles I boarded a train for Westchester. It ramed heavily when I got there, and I put up at a hotel, intending to stay over night and visit the cottage in the mornjng. I did so, but my examination of the inside and outside of the premises yielded no information calculated to throw a new light on the mystery. I questioned a red-haired man who was acting as caretaker. He was willing enough to discuss the tragedy, but I derived no particular benefit from his conversation* I also interviewed the servant, old Peggy, and the man Hitchen, but learned nothing more than had been made public by their testimony at the trial. Having discovered nothing I returned to the city to be met with the information that a burglary had been committed on my premises the previous night. Some plate and a sum of money had been removed from my consulting room. My cabinets had been burst open, and many of my surgical instruments thrown about. The thieves had entered through one T h e ~ content* of that bottle a p e l l D e a t h ! " your daughter to be would be incapable of such an act. Now, I have a proposal to make. I want to telegraph these California Stuarts, Please give me the exact address cf the cottage, and your daughter's age." "Tbe name of the cottage is Heath Cottage, Westchester. My girl was nineteen on the 10th of last month." "Do you happen to know the hour fixed for the execution?" "Eight o'clock in the morning." I wrote a telegram as follows: "Stuart, Orange Flower R? nch, Los Angeles, California. Susanna Tankerville, aged nineteen, is to be executed at eight o'clock in the morning, on the fifth of December, for the murder ,of Jane Stuart, of Heath Cottage, Westchester. Evidence to save her life earnestly requested." "It won't do any good," said Mrs. Tankerville, sadly, when 1 showed her the message, "but send.it, if you want to.

So far the police had been unable to secure a clue to the thieves. Days passed—my money and plate were still missing, but my mind was too full of Mrs. Tankerville and her daughter to trouble much over the matter. No response had been received to my telegram to California. At last the fourth of December arrived. About three o'clock in the afternoon Mrs. Tankerville made her appeaiance. Her eyes were bright and eager, but her face looked more drawn and white than ever. "Dr. Halifax," she burst out impetuously, "I have something to confess to you. First of all, you know that the execution is fixed to take place in the morning at eight o'clock. But judge, jury, governor, chaplain, warders may all be nonplussed, for a greater than they interferes. Doctor, my child lies at death's door. She is dying of virulent poison, and I gave it to her. When I last visited you, and you had left the room for a short while, I read that paper of yours. The Information I thus obtained drew my^ attention to tbe little bottle on your table.

So we took some of your plate and money. But your property is safe and will be returned to you in a day or two. The only thing you will lose will be the little bottle, for its contents are working their own mischief, also their salvation, in the body of my child. ^1 bad learned enough from your manuscript what to do. I took the bottle to my child, and when the keeper's back was turned, I told her by means of the deaf and dumb alphabet exactly what to do. She followed my directions implicitly. In a very few days my girl got ill. She became delirious, was removed to the prison hospital and placed in a ward alone. Dr. Hudson, the prison doctor, pronounced her case enteric of a severe type. Tomorrow is the day fixed for the execution, and up to vhe present I ha-ve heard no word of its postponement. Something must be done, and you must do it. A girl, delirious, almost, unconscious, cannot be dragged toW the electric chair. It would not bn decent. A l l America would rise up and cry out at such an outrage. You must come with me to the Tombs, see the apparently dying girl, and interview the prison dofctor. You won't refuse?" "No," I said, "I will come." Half an hour later we were within the gloomy precincts of the Tombs. Mrs. Tankerville was admitted to the hospital to see her daughter, and a warder, having taken my card to the prison doctor, showed me into the latter's private apartment. Dr. Hudson was a tall, slight man, quite young, with an eager face and kindly eyes. "How do you do, Dr. Halifax," he g toj his hand. "Off reputation, and am pleased to meet you. Is there anything I can do for you?" "Yes," I replied. "My object in coming here is to see a prisoner named Susanna Tankerville. J am the mother's friend in this terrible business. Is it possible for me to see her?" "The girl is practically dying," answered Hudson. "Not that it makes much difference, for she is to be executed at eight in the morning." "|Jut surely such a sentence cannot be carried out on a dying girl?" "As far as that goes, all those unfortunates condemned to death are dying," he responded. "But 1 admit that I have been much troubled over this affair. More than a week ago the disease declared itself as enteric. She is very ill indeed tonight." "In that case a wire to the governor would surely insure a postponement of the execution." "It .would only be postponement, remember," said Hudson. "As soon as the unfortunate girl is well enough she will be taken to the place of execution and the extreme penalty of the law will take effect." "May I see her?" I asked. "It is unusual, but I cannot-object." He led the way at once, and in a few moments I stood at the bedside of the dying girl. Mrs. Tankerville was kneeling beside her. The face of the unconscious patient was white, the cheeks were sunken, the temples hollow, but the long lashes, black as jet, the thick black hair, pushed away from the delicate forehead, the contour of the lips, told me that in her hour of health her beauty must have been considerable. I took her hand and felt her pulse. I noted the temperature chart which hung on the wall above her head. Hudson's eyes followed the direction of mine. "She has been in a comatose condition for the past two hours," he whispered. Wt were both about to leave the room when a movement in the bed caused us to turn back. The girl had opened her eyes. She looked full at Mrs. Tankerville, and spoke distinctly: "Mother, I remember. At last, mother, I remember. That man I dreamed about, I know who he is now. Look in the album—his photograph is there—the man from the West." The last words were almost inaudible. The brief period of unconsciousness was merged into a deeper* lethargy. I took Hudson's arm and led him from the room. "You must wire at once," I said. "You cannot by any possibility allow that execution to take place in the morning. That girl has found a memory which she had lost. This may mean nothing or everything. But de- Jay is of consequnece. Her illness has earned it for her; let her have i t " "I will telegraph the governor at once through the warden," he answered. He left me for a few minutes, and then returned to say that the message had been forwarded to Albany, and that an answer could be looked for shortly, with the certainty that a postponement would he granted. He had scarcely finished speaking when Mrs. Tankerville, her eyes alight with excitement, rushed into the room. "Susanna has said those words again," she exclaimed, "and I believe they mean a great deal. I am going at once to Westchester and visit Heath Cottage. I want to confirm my child's words. She spoke of a photograph. There is an album in Miss Stuart's little drawing room. The photograph she refers to must be there." , I nodded encouragingly. "You are X said. "Go, and may Heaven our errand.'' ; ' erward the reply to the 'And now," I said, as I bandetMfce- «8 once, "It is her/ message back to Hudson, "we have something to work for. '%pu know lor a long time that we burje hoped to find antidotes to all those bacilli which destroy life. For some we have already found them; but not yet for the typhoid bacilli. And yet beyond a doubt such an antidote exists, I mean one that will destroy typhoid bacilli without injuring the life of the -victim. Now, for some time I have been experimenting with this partjjcu* lar matter in view. I have lately cultivated a bacillis to which I have not yet given a name, which I believe will kill the typhoid poison without hurting the patient. I brought a bottle of the prepared serum with me. X should like, with your permission, to experiment on the victim." Hudson agreed eagerly. I had appealed successfully to the scientiflo side of the man. He realized that lt might be the lot of Susanna Tankerville, even in dying, to bestow a boon on t h e f i p ^ world. With his aid I introduced Ihe new bacilli into the girl's system. During the rest of that night Hudson and I watched by her bedside. By almost every known means and stimulants we kept death at bay. It would be several hours bo» fore the injection would take effect Our object was to keep the patient in the land of the living during those hours. The night gave place to dawn, and dawn to broader daylight. Eight o'clock boomed from the prison bell. The poor girl was still in a state of collapse. Suddenly the nurse entered. "Will you go downstairs at Dr. Halifax?" she whispered, urgent." "Go, Halifax; I will watch said Hudson. As I was turning to leave the room I saw a streak of red on the girl's pale cheek. She opened her eyes and looked around her. "Where am I? What has happened?" she asked feebly. I nodded triumphantly to Hudson, "She has taken a turn for the better," I said, and went downstairs. A warder met me and led the way to Hudson's apartment. There I found Mrs. Tankerville and a man, who waa standing by the window. Mrs. Tankerville came to meet, me. "But for the fever my innocent child would be out of the world now,** she said. "Look, Dr. Halifax." In her hand she held an old-fashioned photographic album. It was open. She pointed to a* cabinet photo of a man of small stature ALC4 fair face. Underneath it was nrittrri, in the neat handwriting of Miss Stuart: "My nephew, Robert Stuart, of California." At the same moment the man by the window came forward into the 'ight, and I started in surprise. Feature for feature, his was the same face as that in the photograph. "This.was the photograph to which Susanna alluded last night," said the mother. "And here is the_man—Robert Stuart, of California. He has told me his story. Let him tell it to you now." - The man was trembling violently. His lips twitched convulsively, and finally he spoke in jerky accents: "The execution has been deferred; otherwise 1 should have been "too late, lt was your telegram that did fof, me. My conscience didn't trouble me much until that came. Then the d e w ils of remorse began to whisper in my ears. They nearly drove me mad.

The girl's room was at the end 1¾*~> of the passage. I entered it, The** room was full of moonlight To my horror she opened her eyes and looked at me. At first I thought I was discovered, but then I saw that she waa looking at me in her sleep. Her garden knife lay on a chair. I smeared the blade with blood, left it there and went away. I tramped to the next station to Westchester and boarded"a train for the West. I reached CalV fornia in safety. Nobody suspected me, and as I avoided reading tbe papers, I knew nothing about the consequences of my own action. On the day that the telegram came, I received* a letter from Mrs. Stuart's lawyer, saying that I was entitled through my cousin's death to a large fortune. But that telegram finished me. I have known no rest from the mocking devils since, and I have come to give my* self up." ' " I caught Mrs. Tankerville's out*, stretched hands in mine and pressed them warmly.

I therefore resolved to, try the rightside, though not without misgivings, on ac- *count of the snow slopes and forbidding-looking ^precipices. I concluded that if I succeeded in -tracking this right side that I should be able to work roimd and above the sheep. After wait- Sng for an hour, the fine .beasts made things somewhat easier for me by feeding down and behind a s k a l l ro*fcy point.

' Chanting this, however, afid judging I knew my Moifgol, I started off up the stream.

H e r e was where the local knowledge of the man > o n the spot would have been invaluable, for I liad not been able, up to tfcia, to discern that t o reach the high ridge immediately aboVe the .fiheep was impracticable.

I congratulated myself on thus getting a second chance, and watched them as they went "stiltily" along, in the way they move when scared. At length the procession stopped, and they lay down on the steep side of the slope, from whence they commanded the whole of the valley. Off I went again, over huge, sharp boulders of broken rock; but I was soon held up on coming to a large open patch of deep snow. There was nothing for it but to wait patiently and make myself as comfortable and warm as possible among the boulders. After an hour or so, about 1:30 p. m., they rose, stretched themselves, scanned the whole country-side, and again moved slowly off, away to the north. They were evidently in a nervous mood. Following them, after a while I crossed the snow patch, ploughing through the snow, which ln places was up 'to my middle, and following in the deep tracks of the herd. It was stiff work, and was followed by a still stiffer climb to the top of a razor-backed ridge. This I descended, the rams still in view. The ground here was quite open; but wild sheep usually look for dagger from bejpw, and I remained unnoticed. They finally disappeared slowly round the Blope of a high rounded hill, about eight hundred yards ahead. T quickly started eff to gain the crest of this hill, hoping to intercept the game, but was doomed to further disappointment. There was not a sign of them. My aneroid here registered eleven thousand feet, and we had reached the highest part of the downs. A cold wind was now blowing, mists came rolling up out of the valleys and it looked like snow.' Taking up a couple of holes in my belt and a pull at my flask, I follbwed along the north face of the mountain. Avoiding the patches of soft snow, in which t noticed the marks ot sheep's hoofs, suddenly1 on the opposite side, and some way below, I saw my five old friends, evidently bent on shifting their quarters still further to the' weBt. They must have got my wind. Clouds occasionally hid me from the sheep, so, under cover of these, ^ determined to make a dash back for less open ground, and to mcve down and try to get ln a shot.

Leaving camp at 4:30 one morning, shortly before dawn, the t w « hunters and I had not been long at work when the Kalmuk pulled up short, but too late, for we had been seen first by a flock of nine ramsy who were taking their early feed on the side of a steep ravine. Off they went, towards higher ground, but 1¾ no great haste. Riding up to the ricjge along which they had disappeared, we dismounted, and seen viewed them again. They were some distance off, feeding on an open slope, which appeared tfo be secure from attack; but there was one weak spot. After scanning the herd and noticing three or four good heads among them, I started off with Husein to stalk.. A warm job i t proved, up that steep, loose shale slope, and the pace was perforce 6iow. At length we made the crest, and took it easy to study the situation. The wind, though light, was^ shifty, but' all seemed well, for the herd were busy feeding. They were what appeared to be about one hundred and fifty yards oft, but on a slope somewhat below us. The difficulty was to select the finest head, for to raise eneks self more than enough to just peep over would have soon ended matters. Under such circumstances one is always apt to be. Received as to which head is going to beat previous records! The question, however, was brought to an abrupt conclusion by the herd getting their heads up and beginning to look suspicious. In another second they would have been off, so, taking a quick aim, I fired at the chest of what looked like tlte largest, as be stootl head towards me. A rush and a stampede ensued across the soft face of the steep slope below us. Tbe animals were so bunched up that it was impossible to pick out the largest, and the r ^ u U of my three shots was to bowl over a moderate-sized one only. The herd then disappeared at racing speed, and' when next seen they were in the big valley a long way be low. We descended and cut up the dead sheep. This finished, and the old Kalmuk carrying thfc head over his shoulders, we rode off round the. slopes after the herd, eventually pulling up.and dismounting at the end of a long spur. Here, while on the look-out, we suddenly saw the herd, now only seven in number, come bolting back towards us, evidently disturbed in their flight by' my fellow-sportsman, who just then appeared on the top of the mountain. The oves looked: like charging straight at us, but swerved bit and made up the mountain, except one, who, over*; come by fright or curiosity, forgot his usual cun* nlng and stopped to have, a look at me.

The scene at the opening of the story ls laid in the library of an old worn-out southern plantation, known as tbe Bar- ,ony. The place is to be sold, and its history and that -of the owners, the Quintards, is the subject'of discussion by Jonathan Crenshaw, a business man, a stranger known as Bladen, and Bob 'Yancy, a farmer, when Hannibal Wayne Hazard, a mysterious child of the old southern family, makes his appearance. Yancy tells how he adopted the boy. Nathaniel Ferris buys the Barony, but the Quintards deny any knowledge ot the :boy. Yancy to keep Hannibal. Captain j Murrell, a friend of the Quintards. appears and asks questions about the Barony.

Yancy awakes from long dreamess sleep on board the raft. Judge Price eakes startrJng_41scoveries in looking up ml titles. ( C H A P T E R XII—(Continued). "So your Bister doesn't like me, Tom—that's on your mind this morning, is it?" Murrell was saying. "Make it worth my while and I'll take her off your hands," and Murrell laughed. Tom favored him with a sullen stare. , There was a brief silence, during which Murrell studied his friend's iface. When he spoke, It was to give the conversation a new direction. "Did she bring the boy here last night? I saw you drive off with him In the carriage." "Yes, she makes a regular pet of tbe little ragamuffin." "Is the boy going to stay at Belle Plain?" inquired Murrell. J "That notion hasn't struck her yet, for I heard her say at breakfast that she'd take him to Raleigh this afternoon." v i 4 Thafs the boy I traveled all the way to North Carolina to get for Fentress." "Eh—you don't say?" cried Ware. "Torn, what do you know,about the Qulntard lands; what do you know about Qulntard himself?" continued Murrell. VHe was a rich planter; lived in i North Carolina. My father met him when he was in congress and got him to invest in land here. They had 'some colonization scheme on foot— this was upward, of twenty years ago —but nothing came of i t Qulntard lost interest." , "And the land?" "Oh, he held on to that." "Qulntard has been dead two years, Tom, and back yonder in North Carolina they told me he left nothing but the home plantation. The boy lived there up to the time of Qulntard's death, but what relation he was to the old man no one knew. Offhand, Tom, I'd say that, by getting hold of the boy Fentresa expects to get hold of the Qulntard land.1 1 •That's likely," said Ware; then struck by a sudden idea, he added, "Are you go^ng to take, all the risks and let him pocket the cash? If it's the rand he's' afteY; the stake's big enbhgfr to drride." u "H* can bave the; whole thing and welcome.

Ware shifted and twisted In his seat "Do you want the land and the niggers? I reckon you'll have to take them whether you want them or not, for I'm going to have the girL" C H A P T E R XIII. Bob Yancy Finds Himself. Mr. Yancy awoke from a long dreamless sleep; heavy-lidded, his eyes slid open. For a moment he struggled with the odds and ends of memory, then be recalled the tight at the tavern, the sudden murderous attack, the fierce blows Slosson had dealt him, the knife thrust which had ended the struggle. Therefore, the bandages that now swathed his head and shoulders; therefore, the need that he should be up and doing—for where was Hannibal? Suddenly a shadow fell obliquely across the foot of his narrow bed, and Cavendish, bending his long body somewhat, thrust his head in at the opening. He found himself looking into a pair of eyes that for the first time in many a long day held the light of consciousness. "How are you, stranger?" he demanded, in a soft drawl. "Where am I?" The words were a whisper on Yancy's bearded lips. "Well, sir, you are in the Tennessee river fo' certain. Polly! you jest step here." But Polly had heard Cavendish speak, and the murmur of Yancy's In her wake •» came Connie with the baby, and the three little brothers who were to be accorded the cherished privilege of seeing the poor gentleman eat. Cavendish presented himself at the tfpenlng that did duty as a door. "This looks like bein' alive, stranger," he commented genially. "You-all ain't told me yo* name yet?" said Yancy. "It's Cavendish. Richard Keppel Cavendish." "My name's Yancy—Bob Yancy." Mr. Cavendish ' exchanged glances with Mrs. Cavendish. "Stranger, what Fna again* to tell you, you'll take as beln' said man to man," he began, with the Impressive air of one who had a secret of great moment to Impart "Ever • hear tell of lords?" "No." Yancy was quick to notice the look of disappointment on the faces of his new friends. ^4Are you ever heard of royalty?" and Cavendish fixed the Invalid's wandering glance. s "You mean kings"?* "I shore do." . • Yancy made a mighty, mental effort. •There's them Bible kings—" he ventured at length. Mr. Cavendish shook his head. "Them's sacred kings. Are you familiar with any of the profane kings, Mr. Yancy?" "Well, taking them as they come, them Bible kings seemed to average pretty profane." Yancy was disposed to defend this point "You must a heard of the kings of England. Sho', wa'n't any of yo' folks in the war agin' him?" "I'd plumb forgot, why my daddy fit all through the war!" exclaimed His Pace Went White and the Book Slipped From His Fingers; hard VtSB^sV - voice in reply. Now her bead appeared beside ber husband's. "La, you are some better, ain't jftm* alrt? ss^srtsfr. fmU1ngndi»»vea Yancy. The Cavendishes were immensely relieved. "Now you-all keap^stttl," said Cavendish.,"! want M r . Yancy should get tbe straight of this here! Tbe varies of royalty are kings, dukes, ^ifrds. Barls is tbe*third beap» but lords "My grandfather said he never knpwed a man with the same aversion agin labor as his father had. Folks put it down to laziness, but they misjudged him, as come out later, yet he never let on. "Then one day he got his bands on a paper that bad come . acrost In a ship from England. A l l at once, be lit on something In the paper, and he started up and let out a yell like he'd been shot. 'By gum, I'm the Earl ot Lambeth!' he says, and took out to the nearest tavern and got b l l l n ' full. Afterward he showed 'em the paper and they seen with their own eyes where Richard Keppel Cavendish, Earl of Lambeth, had died in London. My great grandfather told 'em that was his uncle; that when he left home there was several cousins—but they'd up and died, so the title come to him. He never done a lick cf work after that. "I'm an orphan man of title now and It's been my dream to take Polly and the children and go back to England and see tbe king about my title. Don't you reckon he's got the notion "the Cavendishes has petered out?" Mr. Yancy considered this ijkely. The furious shrieking of a steampacket's whistle broke* in upon them. "It's another of them hawgs, wantin* all the river!" said Mr. Cavendish, and fled to the steering oar. C H A P T E R XIV. The Judge Sees a Ghost. Charley Norton's good offices did not end when he had furnished Judge Price with a house, for Betty required of him that he should supply that gentleman with legal business as well. Thus it happened that kludge Price, before he had been three days in Raleigh, received a civil note from Mr. Norton asking him to search the title to a certain timber tract held by one Joseph Quaid. The judge, powerfully excited, told Mahaffy he was being understood and appreciated. The immediate result of Norton's communication had been to send the judge up the street to the court house. He would show his client that he could be punctual and painstaking. Entering the court house, he found himself in a narrow hall. He entered the county clerk's office. He was already known to this official, whose name was Saul, and he now greets^ htm. "A little matter of business brings me here, sir," began the judge, with a swelling chest and mellow accents. "I am In some haste to look up a title for my client, Mr. Norton." Mr. Saul scrambled up out of the depths of his chair and exerted himself in the judge'* behalf. "This is what you want, sir. Better take the ledger to the window, the light in here ain't much." He drew forward a chair as he spoke, and the judge, seating himself, began to polish his spectacles with great deliberation. "You've set on the bench, sir?" suggested Mr. Saul. "In one of the eastern counties, but my inclination has never been toward the Judiciary." He was turning the leaves of the ledger as he spoke. Suddenly the movement of his hand was arrested. "Found it?" asked Mr. Saul, But the Judge gave him no answer; he was staring down at the open pages of the book. "Found the entry?" repeated Mr. Saul. "Eh—what's that? No—" he appeared to hesitate* "Who ls this man Qulntard r "He's tbe owner of a hundredthousand- aere tract in this and abutting counties," said Mr. Saul. "Who bas charge of tbe land?" "Colonel Fentress; he was old General Ware's law partner. I've beard it was tbe general who got this man Qulntard to make tbe investment, but that was before my time." The judge lapsed into silence. A step sounded In tbe narrow hall. An Instant later tbe door was pushed open, and grateful for any interruption that would serve to take Mr. Saul's attention from himself, tne judge abruptly turned bis back on the clerk and. began to examine the record before him.

Started like little white pimples, looked like an old scab of blood and matter. His whole head was covered for a. few months, then it went to his ear, shoulders, and his whole body. It seemed to come out thick and sticky on his head, while on the other parts of his body it was more like water coming out of the skin. He would scratch until the eruption would be all covered with blood and gradually spread. The least little stir or rub would cause the sores to bleed, spread and Itch. Never had a full night's sleep, restless all night. '"The sores were horrid to look at. It lasted until he was about two and a half years old. Then we saw an eczema advertisement in the paper to u 8 e , but it did no good. Then we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. We put the Cuticura Ointment on thick at bed time and put a tight hood on so he could not scratch the sores. Then we washed it clean with Cuticura Soap' and warm water twice a day, and he was completely cured." (Signed) Mrs. E. F. Sulzberger, Dec, 30, 1911.
