Winfield Backus, a fifteen year old boy, also met instant death. They had bought a barrel of gasoline and were returning home about dusk. The night being cold both m en were well bundled about the head and shoulders. The train was a through freight and it is thought that their heavy wraps hindered them from hearing the train until it was upon them. Mr. Wood was a man fifty one years of age.

Headquarters For Magazines and School Supplies v,.r ,.\ . - S . • M S V • » - ..*' W /*.> NOVELTY IS DEMANDED MOST STRIKING FEATURE OF DRESS TRIMMING SITUATION. fivery Conceivable Thlrtg That Will •Give an Air of "Difference" Is Employed— Most Unusual Effects Noted in Consequence. T h e keynote of the dresB trimming situation for the coming seaBon Is certainly novelty. Nothing is too "different" and unusual not to be in demand, and the more curiouB the trimming the greater seems to be its popularity. Fringes are tavored by the fashion makers in Paris and Berlin. Silk ball fringes in every conceivable style, size aad combination of color will be used on the more dressy costumes. Virtually all kinds of bead fringes are in demand, from the simplest to the most elaborate in the medium and narrow widths. Silk fringe will be seen on the gowns of plainer cut. Opalescent bead fringes, jet, black and white and all the shades of amber are great favorites, with gold and silver for use on elaborate evening costumes and some of the handsome wraps for evening wear. Colored embroidered bands are meeting with high favor. These come in all widths and a wide variety of de- • signs, many of them showing metallic threads intermingled with the floss »ilk. Solid metal effectB are largely used. Gold, silver, copper and gun metal embroidered sets at intervals with mock Jewels are wonderful in •their beauty, especially those of orlen- • tal design and rich coloring. Jets In band embroideries and fringes are well liked for trimmings •on black and white gowns; dull jets . are seen on mourning costumes. Very effective are the cut Jet costumes with rhlnestone centers and crystal buttons or all the conceivable colors set with colored Jewels and rhlnestones. Some of the most unusual effects are seen In the chiffon floral trimmings. These are in the form of bands of small or large blossoms, leaves and Tbuds, that can be transferred to the gown simply by catching them lightly from underneath with rather loose atltehery. They can be had in wreaths, lyarlands, clusters and In single blossoms, and there is certainly no question as to their beauty and adaptabilit y in the trimming of elaborate COBtomes for evenltjg and formal occas i o n s in the afternoon. Tunics are in great demand. Odd Bnd fancy styles are especially well liked. Prominent among these are t h o s e that are cut away in front, showing the influence of the dlrectoire period now dominant in Rarments of all descriptions. Other styles are draped .in pannier effect or else slashed at the .jaide, forming long panels in the front and the back. Very handsome models are they that show demi-flouncings, which vogue comes in directly from Paris. Hraids there are in such numbers and varieties that it would be impossible to describe them In a limited apace. Hut all are beautiful in design and texture, and if you desire a trimming for a simple morning frock ..choose braid. FOR THE STREET OR HOUSE Tweed Costume In Green Shade Recommended— Simple Home Dress for Almost Any Material- Tweed Costume.—Green tweed flecked with brown is used for our model. The coat is sacque shaped, trimmed with straps to match skirt. It has a collar of material, below which In front plaited lace frills hang. Straps trim the sleeves. Hat of black velvet, trimmed with a velvet ribbon mount. Materials required: Five yards of tweed 40 inches wide, five buttons, 43-2 yards silk or satin for lining coat. Simple Home Dress—So simple is this, that it might be made in many different materials. The skirt has a wrapped seam up the left side of front, six button* trim the foot. The waist is high and plainly set to the bodice, which is Magyar, and has a low, round neck, braided simply as trimming. The sleeves are trimmed to match. Materials required: Three and onehalf yards 42 inches wide, one-half dozen buttonB, one-half dozen yards braid. Double Skirts. Although the plaited skirt to promised a revival, numbers of the new Paris model suits have still skirts which, although rather tight at the ankles, are ample enough round thfe hips and knees. There are ways of giving spring to theBe gowns, which prevent them from developing intc anything which is likely to recatr the hobble. In some cases the seam is lefi open at the foot In modified dlrectoire fashion, while a still better expedient is that of the two skirts, orfe above the other, and both of which have one open seam in a different place, so that plenty of freedom is gained in thU manner, the skirt remaining, however narrow in appearance and the opening unnotlceable.

MACHINE, NOT A GIRL Rosy Hears That Her Sweetheart Is Crazy About a Typewriter. 3y MILDRED HOUSTON HEMINGWAY. "Then you do love me," he whispered, as he hfcdd her in his arms and tried to reach her lips with his. Rosy made no audible reply, hut gave a little sigh of satisfaction .and cuddled closer in the encircling arms. "You'll never let anything come between us?" he pleaded, this time succeeding in turning the pretty face to his, and preventing any reply by covering the little mouth. At last, however, Hugh managed to gain from the bashful young girl her confession of love, and then the two began planning for an early marriage. This was Tuesday night. Wednesday morning a cloud arose on the horizon of their love. Rosy was singing at her work around the house, when Kathryn Steward ran up the steps. Kathryn had been married three months, and Rosy was extremely anxious to confide her engagement to her friend, so she ran to open the door. Before their greetings were fairly over she began to pave the way for her confession. " "Hugh was here last night," she smiled. "Hugh who?" Kathryn asked, although she knew as well as Rosy. "Hugh Howard." "Well, what of it?" Kathryn asked, going over to the mantel and arranging her hair before the glass. "Why, I—well—he was here," Rosy faltered. Kathryn turned. "You don't mean to say that you are interested in him?" she said. There was real concern in her voice. "What makes you say that?" Rosy cried, her eyes filling with tears. Kathryn forgot her hair, and took her frieml in her arms. "I'll tell you," she said, softly. "Rich knows Hugh very well indeed, and he told me the other night that he was crazy about a typewriter. Those were his very words. Said he could talk of nothing but that typewriter, and you aren't a typewriter, are you?** and Kathryn kissed her little friend. Poor little Rosy began to cry. Perhaps, if left to herself, she might have sent for Hugh and asked for an ex- • , i , » ' v. rtlown front and nearly to foot.

Kathryn Asked planation, but under Kathryn's persuasive direction she wrote him the following note: "I am going tb ask you to forget what happened last night, to treat It as though It never occurred. Do not try to see me, for I never want to meet you again. Rose Parsons." "And now you are coming to our summer cottage with me," Kathryn caid decidedly, and before Rosy recovered her breath, Kathryn had explained to Mrs. Parsons, packed Rosy's suit case, and borne her away. As the cruel letter slipped from her Hngers into the mail box Rosy gave a little sob, and might have written another to recall it, if she had not accidentally come across Hugh on the way to the depot. He did not see her as he was walking beside a remarkably pretty girl, and the two were laughing and talking in an animated manner, although there was nothing ToveTlIko In their attitude.—Still, to Rosy, thi3 was proof positive of his perfidy. Just as Hugh was thinking with joyful anticipation of the evening, he reco'ved Rosy's letter, and could scarcely believe his eyes as he read the few words her epistle contained. "Well, of all things!" he said a t '.ast, drawing a deep breath. , -'"' If ho had been like sjMrto men, he might have retlred^tnto a sulky silence, and pride- would have reared a wall as high as heaven between the two,^>ut Hugh was made of different .material. Instead of visiting Rosy, friead," Hugh cried, more bewildered than ever. "It was something she told RQBV," Mrs. Paraons insisted, and Hugh left the house trying to puzzle out what the trouble could be. Then he went to Richard Steward; and asked him if he knew anything about the matter. "I haven't the remotest idea," that young gentleman returned, and then added: "Come up with me Saturday, and ask Rosy for yourself. We'll say nothing to the girls about your coming, and take them by surprise." In the meanwhile RoBy was anything but a pleasant companion to her hostess, for if the truth be told, she sulked and cried nearly all the time, and Kathryn began to nvlsh Bhe had left her friend in ignorance of what she had found out. On Saturday the two went over to the station to met Richard, and Rosy felt her rebellious heart give a throb of joy when she saw Hugh with her host, although she protended to be very angry, and would not speak to him. They all climbed into the boat which was to take them to the Stewart cottage, and then Hugh asked quietly: "What did you tell Rosy about me, Kathryn?" Kathryn's face grew a little redder than it had been since she first saw Hugh with her husband, but she said stoutly: "I just told her you were crazy about a typewriter. I think you ought to be ashamed of yourself, Hugh." Hugh and Richard looked at each other, and then burst into a roar of laughter, while the two girls looked furious. "So I am," Hugh said at laBt, "but it is a machine, not a girl. I'm going to have the agency for it, and that is one reason I can think/ of getting married at this time." Richard and Kathryn effaced themselves as soon as their guests reached land, and Rosy made up for her willingness to believe evil, although she did ask meekly after a time: "Who was that I saw you with the other day when we were coming to the depot?" "Why, the girl who gives demonstrations on the typewriter. She taught me how to get a high rate of speed from the machines so I could show them to better advantage." Rosy looked up at him with a littie- shame-faced smile, and then burled her face tearfully but happily oh his shoulder. (Ctpyrfgtit.. 19T2; by W. Q. Chapman.) FIRST SHOTS AT A CARIBOU J. "F. 8tudley Fired Seven Times in Val* Because He Had "Buck Ague* What the "buck, ague** fa- like Is described in "The Journal of a Sporting Nomad," by J. T. STudley. The author's- first attempt against the caribou resulted in humiliation. He tells that Johnny, Ms Indian guide, suddenly dropped like a stone into the wet grass and muttered "Stag," and there, sure enough, strolling a*ong the front, was a fine caribouv "I sat down, resting my elbow on my knee, waiting until he should put in an appearance on my side of the rock. I had the riflo to my shoulder and, at last the grand beast walked into view, not more than 100 yards away. He stopped, looking about himv and T drew a bead on his shoulder. Useless! The rifle wabbled all over the place, and for the JTfe of me I coTrfd not keep it still, nor hold my breath. My heart was in my mouth and all the time the rifle trembled and shook. The cr^lbou moved on a few paces and I deterntfjxed that If 1 meant to shoot at all r must obtain better control of my nerves. I still covered him with the sights, or thought I w a s doing so, as r pulled the trigger on the beast that was standing broadside on, with his head turned from me. "I was using a 500 Winchester Express, and it was the work of an instant to pump another cartridge into the chamber and fire again. Still no move ^on the part of my target. He faced the other way nonchalantly, listening with Interest to the echo of the rifle in the distant canyons. I was getting desperate now and could hear the Micmac muttering all sorts of imprecations behind my back, which only made things worse. I fired five more shots at that caribou as he stood as though carved 1n wood, persevere ing until ho turned off calmly Into a belt of timber. "This story is an absolute fact. 1 would not have credited it had I not boon the one to make such a fool of myEclf. My feelings can be more readily Imagined than described—1 could havo cried with vexation and shame.

Why do BO many German children commit suicide? No one Beems to know, but there is- no dispute about the fact. Indeed, it has been said that the majority of suicixJes are those of children, and experts &eem inclined to connect the grisly epidemic with the educational system. That "the weak must go to the walir' has become an axiom that has been extended to the schools, and the undeveloped mind of the child seeks- reftetf in suicide from the discouragement of failure. * It would ho interesting to know if any of the so*caHcd heathen countries of t h ^ worlti have ever experienced such a horrid social phe-twimtma as that ot child suicide.

My hands were disfigured and swollen, and troubled me so that I could not sleep. They were cracked and when the small sores broke a white matter would come out. I could not do any hard work; If I did the sores would come out worse. For two years nobody could cure my eczema, until one day I thought I would try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

In response to a query for building a silo 12x28, about 24 feet above, ground, Hoard's Dairyman makes the following reply: One-half inch lumber will give fully as good, If not better, service than inch lumber. The accompanying illustration showB how the inside sheeting and beveled lath and cement are used in a silo of this kind. The 2x4's may be set on the foundation 16 inches from center to center. We like the beveled lath as suggested in the drawing, for it adds strength to the silo. BREEDING STOCK FOR DAIM In Selecting Cattle Real Test Must Be Scales and Babcock Test—Conformation of Cow. End View. We know of some instances where common lath has been used, but it seems to us better to use the lath made from one-half-inch material. The 2x4's will not need any sort of iron hoops. The inside sheeting and the beveled lath are strong enough to resiBt all lateral pressure. If inch lumber is used and lath as suggested, It would be well to put oh the outside some wooden hoops three feet apart. These hoops may be nailed to the 2x4s. The capacity of the silo is sufficient for 15 milk cows. We believe that a Bilo 11 feet in diameter and 30 to 32 feet high would bo almost better to construct, for it is necessary to remove about one and one-half to two Inches of silage per day, especially in summer, if it is to be kept in good condition. ROOT CROPS FOR DAIRY COW Make Valuable Addition to Winter Rations Beoause They Add to Variety of Feed. No matter what some people tell you, turnips and other roots make fine milk producing feed. Turnips will not affect the flavor of milk If fed at the right time. If turnips are fed in large quantities and two or three hours before milking, they are likely to give the milk an unpleasant taste, but if fed directly after milking no flavor whatever will be noticed. A peck of turnips to each animal per day is sufficient in most cases. A good plan is to feed/directly after hay in the early morning, and once a day is often enough. A little salt scattered over the turnips, which should be chopped in quarters or smaller, add to their palatability. Roots make very valuable addition to the winter ration because they add to the variety of the feed and no animal on the farm appreciates variety more than the dairy cofw. In Wisconsin, Iowa and other western dairy states the root crop is becoming a very Important part of. the crop of the farm. CONVENIENT CART FOR MILK Two Buggy Wheels and Axle Used In Its Construction—Handy for Carrying Fertilizer. I saw a home-made cart, made from the two wheels and an old axle of a buggy, says a writer in the Rural New A Handy Milk Cart. Yorker. It was used to wheel three cans of milk and feed or fertilisers around farm or barn. The illustration shows how it was made. Professor W. J. Kennedy of the Iowa station recommends the following in reference to the selection ot breeding stock tor the dairy: In selecting dairy cattle the real test must be the scales and the liabcock teater. The cow is a machine to convert food into milk, thus she must have a large middle and a strong constitution to insure the best results. She must also have a large udder, large milk wells, large crooked milk veins and good sized teats. Her head should be clean and angular in appearance, with the eyes standing out prominently. The neck should be rather long and lean in appearance. The shoulders pointed, and the backbone rather prominent. The skin should be loose and Boft to the touch. In selecting herd bulls, either mature animals which have already demonstrated their worth as Bires, or younger* animalB from high testing dams and sires only should be used. The best and surest results will always follow the use of a mature sire which has sired heifers with good records. A good dairy bull Bhould be kept until he is 12 or 15 years old, in fact as long as he is a sure sire. Real good sires are so rare that when we do And one, he should die only of old age. All breeders of dairy cattle should secure yearly tests on each and every cow in the herd. Shorter tests do not really mean very much. It Is the cow that stays by her job that it really valuable, MILKING MACHINE IS HANDY Operation Performed by Compression In Device Recently Invented by Wisonsin Man. MICHIGAN HAPPENINGS The Scientific American in describ ing a milking machine, recently invented by O. C. Sibilsky of Algoma: Wis., says: The invention pictured in the illustration in actual use, provides a machine which will cauBe the milking operation to be performed by compression rather than by suction"or stripping; provided a device detachable so as to accommodate it for use in connection with different Bize cows 01 Milking Machine. those having different size udders; provides an actuator for the milkei which is adjustable in acordance witb the size of the teats; and provide a milking machine in which the compression cups are formed and oper ated so as to simulate the form and operation of a person's hand in hand milking.

Beef is high, but butter and cream are higher. Silage may be fed the day after the silo is filled. Thoughtful dairymen will keep up the milk'flow this fall. Back of many a shortage in the dairy business 1B a poor sire. Separating cold milk means that some cream will remain in the skimmilk. Dirty calf pails are one sign that the calves are not getting care enough, If the hired man is careful with the cows a few of his faults may be overlooked. To get rich milk is possible for the average farmer, but It must be through breeding. To get top prices for farm crops, try selling them to the dairy cow or the shoat. A good many cow stables resemble hotels. They have both "roomers" and "boarders." Shade, water and good grass are three essentials for profitable milk production. If the cream is still warm after separating, don't put the lid on the can down tight. Letting the calf run with a hard milker has been found to help matters in many cases. If a farmer, will keep a poor hired man out of sympathy for him, what kind of cows must he keep. The man who leaves his cows out these cool nights will have less manure to haul out. Likewise less milk. It Is highly important to feed producing cows some concentrated feed? in connection' with pasturage and roughage.

But dropping the peanut glory and coming to a golden memory, the former denizen of a village will remember how the dry goods stores would always put their empty boxes on the sidewalk, ou which men would Bit, whittle, chew tobacco and talk politics. Those were great tobacco chewing and spitting days, and politics chimed in happily with them. September and October were the best months for whittling up dry goods boxes and settling national affairs, and those were the days, too, of the peanut and plug tobacco— not the scrap stuff that ruins people nowadays, but real old Virginia plug, that was full of politics.

There was a_time when the wholesome teachings of our mothers had an Influence, when the home Influence was felt after the fledglings had Jeft the nest, and there are still some that are considered by many as "oldfashioned" who believe as our revered parents did, Bays the Washington Herald. Granting that a woman has the same rights as a man, that they can do the same things as man, can smoke, take a cocktail, ride a horse astride, and Buch things that were once considered as purely in man's province, yet the doing of these things have a tendency to bring the good woman down to the level of the company she Is in, to make the telling of a risque story in mixed company a com man matter. We discuss eugenics with our children; they are allowed to read almost any noyel they can get their hands on, and are allowed liberties former generations were strangers to. A return to the "old-faBhloned" ideas of our mothers, to the time when the conventionalities were observed, might bo looked upon as a step backward by tho fast sot of today, but to the thinking man or woman who still believes In tho sanctity •of the homo and home life it would help to establish a purity that is sadly lacking In many families In this the twentieth century. Many persons are of the opinion t h a t the wireless system of communication Is particularly subject to tapping, but, according to the Scientific American, no telegraph system la absolutely secret. Any one familiar •with the Morse code can read ordinary messages entering any telegraph office. At Poldhu, on a telephone connected to a long horizontal wire, the messages passing on a government telegraph line a quarter of a mile away can be distinctly read. It has been shown that it is possible to pick,up at a distance, on another circuit, conversation which may be passing through a telephone or telegraph wire. Oa one occasion an investigator was able to interfere, for a distance, with the working of the ordinary telephones in Liverpool. A s k More T h a n $1,200,000. Secretary Murray, of the_state board of corrections and charities, iuB made his report to Gov. Osborn. — Institutions required to submit estimates of appropriations to the board for approval will ask $1,081,452.28 from the next legislature tor special purposes, Many of the items included were before the last legislature. lu addition to the amounts asked for special purposes, eight of the institutions will ask for |t>li9,0y» £or current expenses. Several ask for money for new buildings with which to house inmates, the demand for quarters having outgrown their facilities. The board recommends several innovations in the laws. It wants authority to inspect city and village jails and house of detention; to ciose jails and infirmaries which are found unfit, upon the approval of the governor or a justice of the supreme court; provide for the licensing by the board of maternity hospitals and private incorporated institutions. The board suggests that legislation be enacted providing for the purchase of lands for colonies of epileptics as well as for colonies for inebriates, and urges that the sheriffs of all counties should be placed Tinder the salary system.

Sugar B a r r e l ! May Clear Up M y s t e r y . An _election mystery in Kalamazoo county may be cleared up by the canvassers,- w-hen they......are. given, a chance to inspect a sugar barrel that was used in Climax township as a repository for votes. With several candidates showing dispositions to asK for an official recount, the county canvassers at a loss to explain the discrepancy that is reported at Climax. The poll lists of that township show that 319 people voted there, while the returns total but 278 ballots, a discrepancy of 41. This number of votos if accounted for, might make a great difference in the result of two or th-ee contests, where the winners carried the county by less than 40 plurality. STATE BRIEFS. The first arrival in New York of apecimens of the tsetse fly of the Congo was noted the other day. The flies were dead and preserved in a bottle of alcohol in the possession of A. H. Hale, who was a passenger on the Bteamshlp Finland. They will be available for examination by medical scientists who desire to study them at close range. The tsetse fly is the carrier of the sleeping sickness, -which is said to have depopulated considerable districts in the heart of Africa. It is a biting fly. Recent students of the stable fly, which is under suspicion in this country, have *n!d that it more nearly resembles the tsetse fly than any other American representative of the fly family. T h e specimens which Mr. Hale has Draught into the country will enable comparisons to put this opinion to the t e s t A man in Berlin advertises for a wife with a wooden leg.

So delightful is David Unruh over the result of the election that he has just announced the gift of one 2-yearold steer to the democrats in the Niles end of Berrien county for a barbecue. Gov. Osborn, who ordered Attorney General Wykes to investigate the alleged fraudulent enrollments in Wayne county prior to the August primaries, has demanded the resignation of eight notaries public. The good roads commission of Berrien county is considering a way to refund $4,000 of road tax money to three townships which built good roads before the present state reward system became effective. Claud S. Carney, of Kalamizoo, defeated democratic candidate for congress, has t'.ed a protest again*', the Kalamazoo County to Make T i l e . Kalamazo county will have a factory for the manufacture of tiling to be used in connection with the good roads work, and it will be operated by prisoners from the county jail. The commission has just purchased a fat-m at Portage Center and will build a factory at once. It is said this is the first move to establish a county reformatory and do away with the antiquated county jail. The Portage farm is in the center of the county and well located for such an institution. Acting under direction of Postmaster General Hitchcock, postofftce inspectors and United StateB marshals in 72 leading cities of the country began practically simultaneous raids for the arrest of 173 persons charged with using the mails to promote criminal medical practices or the sale of drugs and instruments used for illegal purposes. The arrests are made for misuse of the mails, each case being based on the use of the mails to solicit business or dispose of wares. The concerted official action covered the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the lakeB to the gulf. Many of the persons to be arrested are prominent commercially and socially;- in -their--communities. Some are .leading phv.siciansi__pthers are rich and influential busines men; yet others are men who live by their wits and are comparatively littleknown without their own small coterie of associates; and one is a Chinaman, who is alleged to have practiced his calling on women of his own race and upon those of the lower strata of society. All the arrests are to be made for alleged violation of section 211 of the penal code of the United States, which bars from the mails any vile or obscene matter, whether sealed or unsealed; any advertisement, letter or circular proposing or suggesting criminal practices; or any packet containing any substance, drug or thing intended to be used for immoral or unlawful purposes.

The verdict was arrived at, according to the oldest court officers, with a speed unprecedented in the history of first degree convictions in the county. Also the conviction was unique in that it was the first tme four men have been convicted of murder in the county and, so far as could be learned in the state. Like Charles W. Becker, the police lieutenant convicted as the instigator of the gambler's murder and sentenced to death, the gunmen heard the verdict pronounced against them without show of emotion. They stood at the bar looking straight ahead as the foreman of the jury rose to make known the result of its deliberation and they continued to stare stolidly in front of them unil the formalities of the proceedings were concluded.

Robert Cameron, capitalist, consults Philip Clyde, newspaper publisher, regarding anonymous threatening letters he nas received. The first promises a sample of the writer's power on a certain day. On that day the head Is mysteriously cut from u portrait nf Cameron while the latter is In the room. ..... ^. _• CHAPTER I I . Rifle Shots Echo In the Woods. Of conveying even a tithe of the horror I experienced at Cameron's disclosure I am nigh hopeless. The more we discussed the occurrence the less susceptible it seemed of explanation. And what is so terrifying as the Inexplicable, or so dreadful as the intangible? Here, apparently, was an enemy of calm and cunning malignity, who chose to manifest his power in a manner almost ludicrously puerile— save as it pointed with significant finger to some dire and inevitable sequel —yet-with such crafty secrecy as conu pletely to mystify and dismay. Cameron showed me the mutilated portrait. He had taken it down almost immediately; and had hidden it away in a closet of the hall behind an array of raincoats. The cutting had been done, evidently, with an exceedingly keen blade, and very dexterously done. But that it should have been accomplished in twelve minutes, while Cameron sat in the room, not fifteen feet distant, was beyond our comprehension. Absorption in his book was the nearest we came to a solution, and that was Scarcely tenable. For there was the crowded top of the bookshelves. To cut the canvas, the vandal must either have stood upon that or have reared a ladder. There was not room for the foot of a child on the shelf-top; and as for the ladder, it was unthinkable. How could a ladder have been carried in and out without Cameron being conscious of it? From every possible angle we viewed the incident, making every conceivable concession, and no half-way plausible answer to the riddle presented Itself. And though our common-sense told us that the time of miracles was long past, that no Gyges' ring nor Alberich's cloak survived to this day to make invisible their wearers, there persisted, nevertheless, a chill, uncanny sense of the supernatural, qulte( evident to me in Cameron's hushed voice and furtive manner, and in my own unwonted nervous disquietude. We sat very late. I wished, if possible, to learn if at any time in my friend's life he had done aught to engender an enmity to which these strange developments could be traced —whether, for instance, in the hot blood of his youth in some far land he had provoked the vengeance of one whose humor it is never to forget. As we talked I came to know Cameron better than I had ever known him before. He bared to me much of his early career; he gave me a' clearer view of his temperamental qualities; and yet I could not but feel that he left the vital point untouched, that beneath his seeming frankness there lay hidden, shielded, some/ one episode, perhaps, which might fertile light In upon our darkless. F o r ^ n y question was evaded rather than answered. Presently, Ve went back to the letters and dissected them, coldly and critically, sentence by sentence, and while the weird influence which t h e * hid exerted upon me at the first reading Increased, stimulated possibly by the incident of the portrait, still we reached a certain practical, commonsense view as to their origin; for we came to see in them what we believed to be the hand of a religious fanatic. Certain expressions, we concluded, were quotations. If they were not Biblical, they were certainly of sacred genesis., And the discovery was not reassuring. It lent, indeed, an added prick to the perturbation we already experienced. Nor did the absence of a specified date for the second promised demonstration of power tend to relieve our uneasiness. In this silence we found the acme of cunning cruelty. Any day, at any hour, some other mystifying, soul-torturing incident was liable to occur. I tried to argde that the seventh day was implied, inasmuch as the second note was received on the same day of the month as the first, and was a mere continuation of the original threat. But my contention lacked the intrinsic strength which carries conviction. and, as Cameron put it, we could only "watch and wait;" for the communications offered no alternative. They made no demand which being complied with would avert penalty. Only implacable and inevitable retribution, calm/ patient, and determined, effused from every line. ^Batw in spite of Cameron's evident ^depth of the wood, to the left of me amxlety—and in using that term 1 very mildly stating his obvious tio* of mind—he sternly refuse* cpMtrtt either the police or the print* [ detectives.

No, Clyde, whatever is done, must be done by ourselves, and by friends whom we can trust absolutely. I can take no risk of this horrid thing getting into the newspapers. BesideB," he added, with a kindly, considerative Bmile, "Evelyn must be kept In ignorance. Not for worlds would I have her troubled by our perplexing enigma." My suggestion that he should go abroad for a time, or at least spend a few weeks at Newport, was met with similar obstinate refusal. "I admit that I have been somewhat upset by this extraordinary combination," was the way he expressed it, "but 1 am not a coward. I am not going to run. Even if I were inclined to do so, what should I gain? If a man be not safe in his own house, where in Heaven's name is he likely to find safety?" ^ Quite naturally I was led by this expression to inquire whether, ""p~eT=" chance, he mistrusted any ef the many persons who were employed in the house and about the estate. But, somewhat to my surprise, he was almost gravely offended by the mere suggestion. Nevertheless there were several features of the affair, chief of them the manner in which the letters were received, which caused me to dwell with some mental persistence on this as the most profitable ground for speculation. And .when at length, in the morning's small hours, I returned to my home and to my bed, I carried the thought with me. The sowing of this seed in the subconscious garden of my mind brought forth fruit after its kind. I awoke with a perfectly clear understanding of how that which, the night before, had seemed so impossible of accomplishment was, perhaps, after all, merely a harlequin trick, quite simple when explained. With the new day, too, and the sunlight, and the cheery brightness of my own rooms, there came a lifting of that oppressive atmosphere of the esoteric which at Cameron's had set my nerves out of plumb and my reason on the bias. Indeed I was fully convinced that we had been foolishly constructing an Alpine chain out of a miserable little row of mole hills, and 1 determined to lose no time In bringing Cameron, whom I now regarded as most needlessly alarmed, to my own wholesome way of thinking. Directly after breakfast, therefore, I set forth on foot for my neighbor's, choosing the shore road as the more direct of the two routes. Personally, my taste in landscape is for distant view in preference to nearat- hand foliage. My own house, which is fashioned In semblance of a Pompeiian villa, its cream-white walls punctuated with shutters of a somewhat vivid pea-green and crowned by gently sloping roofs of the same bright color, gazes out across Stamford Harbor and the blue waters of the Sound, to where on clear days the pencilled outline of Eaton's Neck shows purple in the distance. There are no towering, umbrageous trees to interrupt the outlook; only low, carefully- trimmed shrubs, adorning a series of marble sculpture-dotted terraces, well below the line of vision. But the Cameron place, reflecting the Townsbury penchant for arboriculture, is quite the reverse. The prospect from the windows and verandahs of the fine old mansion is all green vistas and leafy perspectives, with pnly a glint of sun-sparkled waves, chancecaught between gray boles or when the wind spreads a momentary opening in the foliage. My way to Cameron'B led through a veritable forest of such luxuriant leafage that the path more than half the time was in twilight, while to right and left the shadows deepened into dark in the cloistral recesses of the woodland heart. The silence was profound. No voice of bird nor scurrying foot of squirrel invaded t h e morning hush of those ramous depths. My own footsteps on the soft turf returned no sound. A half-mile or more I had walked in this mute greenwood peace,- when sharp and clear there echoed through the verdurous aisles the crack of a rifle, and I came to a sudden, involuntary halt.'. Then it occurred to me that it was the third day of the open season for rail birds, and that It was the report of a shot-gun I had heard, fired by some sportsman, off on the shore, there, to my right. And so I resumed my tramp, with ears keen for a repetition. Almost immediately I was rewarded, and then I knew that it was no rail bird gunner, for the shot was unmistakably a rifle shot, and it 4aa fired in the Ttirm times more I heard it, in fair- 4sy rapM' succession, and sounding alf # t j s from about the same direction. I say that it gave me any unbut it perplexed me in a mild rYou may not know," he e x p l a i n ^ ] <rs>jy awmatag a passing cariosity as And then, I tarns out Will-kept, gravelled drive ths closs-croppsd, T«1 lawn* and catching sight of Cameron himself, in riding breeches and puttees, romping with one of his picturesquely graceful Russian wolf-hounds, promptly forgot all about it. He came across the sward to meet me, the great, gaunt white hound pressing close to his side, and I thought 1 saw that he, too, had experienced the inspiriting influence of the morning. "I have found an answer," I cried, while he was still fifty yards away, "possibly the answer." He raised his brows in question, and the hound, with open jaws, fondled his wrist. "I had a horseback ride before breakfast," he told me, as he shook my hand. "Then I spent an hour at the kennels. We've a fine new brood of collie puppies. You must see them." "I want to," I returned. "What do you say to tennis?" he suggested, Irrelevantly. "Just a set. It's a fine morning for tennis." "If you can lend me a pair of shoes,*' I consented, glaring down at my boots. "A dozen pairs," he smiled. "Come up to my dressing room. Louis will fit you out." I was scarcely prepnred for this change in my friend's mood, and far from happy over it. He was evidently determined to ignore the subject that had so engrossed us the night before, hoping to find surcease of harassing thought in a restless round of activities. The condition was a morbid* one which I believed should be discouraged; the more so as I possessed what I fancied was a perfectly practical solution of that which hitherto had seemed to us an inexplicable phenomenon. And I was a little annoyed, too, that my good tidings should be thus disregarded. When, therefore, w« had entered the hall and Cameron was leading towards the broad, ascending staircase, I paused. "Do you mind giving me just a minute?" He stopped, turned, and stood in questioning silence. "A minute in your study," I added, in explanation. Reluctantly, it seemed to me, he crossed to the study door, and throwing it open, Btood aside that I might precede him. The room appeared far less grim and gloomy than when I had last entered it. Its windows faced the south; and between the olive-green tapestry curtains the sun poured in a flood, lighting up the far corners, glinting on the gilt ornaments of the writing table, and bathing in dazzling splendor the burnished bronzes on the crowded top of the book-shelves. "I see you are not disposed to resume our discussion of last night," I began, when Cameron, having closed the door behind him, halted just inside, and with hands in pockets, awaited my opening. "But I want to show you that we have been in very much the same position as the wondering children who watch the presttdigltateur. We hare imagined something amazingly like a miracle, which, in point of fact, is capable of a very simple, commonplace explanation." "You mean the cutting out of the head of the portrait?" he asked, with kindling Interest. "I do." "You have discovered how it was done, before my eyes, so to speak, and y e t ~ ? " "I have discovered how it may have been done," I interrupted. He moved his head juBt perceptibly from side to side in skeptical gesture. "The door of this room is seldom locked?" I queried, ignoring the indicated skepticism. "Never locked," he answered. "It would be quite possible for any one, knowing that you were abBent, to spend an hour or so here, uninterrupted?" "Any one?" he questioned. "Any one who had gained entrance to the house," I amplified. "Oh, yes, I ^r^esume so." "They would have ample time to clear a space on the book-shelves, climb up, and carefully cut out the head, or any part, or the whole of* a portrait, if they were so inclined?" I paused for his answer, but he only smiled with a sort of incredulous tolerance. "Would they not?" I insisted. But Cameron was most perverse this morning. "My dear Clyde," he scoffed, "of what use is all this? The portrait was cut, not while 1 was absent, but while I was present. I saw it complete at three o'clock; at twelve .minutes past three, it was mutilated." "My contention is," I explained, quite patiently, "that while you saw it complete at three o'clock, the cut had already been made, but the cut portion had not been removed. In rthar words, the cutting having been deftly done with a thin, sharp knife, it was perfectly feasible to leave ths porrait apparently intact,, though witb be slightest effort ths Incised portion onld sntatxtoantly be released—with, ay, a pises of cord, ghted to tbs back /or tost sspsdal purpose." Now that I had made myself clear, Cameron was quick to acknowledge the possibility of such a method. "And the cord, you mean, led down behind the book-shelves, and perhaps through a window?" he suggested. "Precisely*And was pulled by some one on the outside." "Yes," he said, thoughtfully. "Such an explanation 1s not unreasonable. The thing, really, must have been done in some such way." "And don't you see," I hurried on with my advantage, "how utterly cheap this makes the whole affair? There's nothing, at all impressive in that performance when you find out how it was done. If the next demonstration is no better than such claptrap, you may rest assured you have a very picayunish sort of mountebank villain to deal with. So, cjeer up, my dear man, and I'll shov#you a few tricks at tennis that may be equally eye-opening.-' Unquestionably my friend appeared relieved. But I came to fancy later that the appearance was feigned for my benefit. Certainly he was not convinced, and in that proved himself possessed of an intuition, a world more accurate than my own. CHAPTER I I I . The Target. The set at tennis having finished with victory perching on my banners, I made excuse to put off the inspection of the collie puppies until another time, resumed my walking boots and, with a parting if futile admonition to Cameron to "think no more about it," started on my homeward way. My route lay again through the miniature forest, for the day had Waxed uncomfortably warm with the approach of noon, and there was scant Shade on the high-road between our two houses. In the wood, however, the air was gratefully cool, and I strode on at a good pace, breathing deeply and with enjoyment the bosky odors which greeted me afresh at every step. The dead silence which I had remarked earlier was broken now by the hoarse tooting of a steamboat whistle, somewhere off shore, and by the shrill voices of birds, apparently In resentful protest at this raucous invasion of their sylvan quiet. I had succeeded in putting aside, for the moment at least, all thought of Cameron, his anonymous letters, and his mutilated portrait, and was dwelling on my disappointment at not having caught even so much as a glimpse of Evelyn Grayson during my morning visit lo Cragholt. It is true that I had gone there with a single purpose in mind—to convey to Cameron what I believed to be an Important theory— but underlying this, I realized now, was more than a hope, a confidence even, that. I should sen Evelyn. 1 was tempted, indeed, to a regret, that. I had not waited, visited the kennels, and accepted Cameron's Invitation for luncheon, which would doubtless have insured me a few words at least with my Goddess of Youth. While on the verge of this self-reproach my spirits suddenly lifted, for the steam whistle having died away in the distance and the feathered choristers having relapsed Into a pleased chirp that merely accented the stillness, there broke all at once on the mute calm of the woodland the silver sweetness of a girl's singing. Clear and resonant It rang through the forest aisles; a voice I knew beyond mistaking. Evelyn Grayson was coming towards me over the Bcented turf, Still hidden by a bend in the path, the melody alone measured for me her approach. It was a French chanson she was lilting, a lyric of Baudelaire's, of which we were both fond. Sweet muslr swepp* m* like the sea Townrd my pnle star. Whether thf clouds be there or all the air o*» free, I sail afar. And then she came around the turn. At .first she di8 not sen me, for her eyes -were lifted with her voic<>, and I had time to mark the fascinating grace of her long, free stride, before she became conscious of my presence and checked and shortened it. She wore a frock of white serge, the skirt's edge at her ankles, revealing dainty, snowy buckskin ties and just a peep of white silk hose. And her flower-like face looked out through a frame of Leghorn straw and pink roses, tied snugly beneath her softly rounded chin with the filmiest of long, floating white veils. You can imagine the. picture she made, there in this green glade, with her big blue eyes alight with glad surprise, and the warm blood suddenly risen in her cheeks. "You truant!" I cried, in jocular reprimand. "Are you always going to run away when I visit Cragholt?" Obe pouted prettily. I detest a woman who pouts, ordinarily. There is usually such palpable affectation about I t But Evelyn's pouting was winsome as an infant's. Besides it was only momentary. Then bar eyss flashed and bar foot was planted vary hard, for such a tiny thing, on the green grasa blades. "I'm not a truant," she declared, with feigned indignation, "and I never thought of running away. That's Just your conceited manly imagination, You fancy that everything I do can have but one cause, and that is yourself. How, pray, was I to know you intended paying us a morning call?" "Tut, tut," I caught her up. "What a little spitfire we have here! If you hadn't deserted me so shamefully last evening, I shouldn't have minded this morning, so much. As it 1B, it seemB aeons since I saw you." Now she smiled until her dimples nestled. "That is much better," she returned, gayly, "and deserves a reply, Just as my action of last evening deserves praise, and not rebuke. I sacrificed myself and my pleasure for one I love." "Not for me, surely!" "Did I use thtr-word conceit a mom e n t a g o ? Are. you the- only ..man 1 love?" "I hope so," I answered, impudently. "There is another," she confessed! in monk tragedy. "Behold his face!" I had not noticed that she held a little roll in her hand, for my eyes had been ever on hers; so, when abruptly, she spread out and held before me the missing head from Cameron'B portrait, I was doubly unprepared. 1 know 1 was startled. She paid afterwards that I went very white. I suppose I did; for with the rush of realization came such a chain of supposition as to drive me momentarily dizzy. For a second or more I stood dumb, while my hand went out in eager reach for the scrap of canvas, which, I had observed, instantaneously, bore four perforations, all of a size—the Blze of a rifle bullet. With that discovery had recurred the shots I had heard; and following this, came a maze of conjecture, going back to that first letter, then to the painting's mutilation, and on through devious ways to the morning's target practice; and always with one or another of Cameron's trusted servants as the chief actor. When I recovered my composure I found Evelyn backing wilfully away from my covetous hand. "It is the picture of the man I love," she was saying, teasingly. "A very, very good man," "But where did you get it?" I asked seriously. "Do you know whore it came from?" Suddenly she was as grave aa I could wish. "I found It nailed to a tree," Rhe answered. "Wasn't it odd? Mow do you suppose It r'nrnc thrro? It looks like the portrait that, hung In Undo Robert's study. Do you suppose he srevv to dislike it, nnd cut it up and threw it away?" Now 1 found myself In some llttlo embarrassment. If I was to obey Cameron's injunction I could not tell Evelyn the truth. Yet I was in no position to make light, of her find. On the other hand I must learn from her just where she had come upon it, and so trace, If possible, the person who had fired the shotH which riddled it, "My dear girl," I said, adopting a tone of cajolery, "we have here, I think, a matter In which we both can be of service—very valuable service. Indeed, to that beloved uncle and guardian of yours. But, you must trust me, absolutely, and, for the present at least, you must give to him no hint of what we" have in hand. Do you understand?" She laughed in that merry rippling fashion which I had found not the least of her charms. "Do I understand?" she repeated, laying a hand on my arm in emphasia of her amused tolerance. "Do I understand? Of course I don't, and I shan't, until you have answered at least a half-dozen whys and whats." "Rut ypu must trust me," I insisted, "and as primary cvldrnce of that trust you will proceed at once to hand over to me, for examination, that, somewhat damaged piece fit portraiture which you are holding behind you." Very wide her eyes npenod in an Innocent, almost infantile stare, as she asked: "Do you really moan It, Philip?" "Really," I' answered, gravely. "I'd like to toll you all about it, right here and now, but that might spoil everything, so you must show what a strong womanly woman you are, by keeping silonce and waiting." In token of compliance she gave me the oval piece of canvas. "I wonder who punched the holes in it!" she remarked, ruefully. "Whoever It was, they were shockingly disrespectful." I tried to fancy what she would have said had she known they were bullet holes. Evidently that possibility bad not occurred to her and I was glad that it had not. (TO BE CONTINUED.) That is Unkind.

They were not cigars—not anything that one might expect to And in a cigar box; they were queer little rings and toys of thin beaten gold, rough green stones, dulled circles of goldenbrown amber. The man took them out of the box and held them in his hand. "El Dorado," he said softly, "El Dorado, after centuries. The gifts of the golden man. The treasure of the sacred lake." Out of the Indian legends of centuries ago, the wonder-tales of the Spaniards In the New World. the man with the cigar box explained, had come these strange bits of gold and precious stones. Modern enterprise is discovering the lost treasure of a South American superstition. The sac r e d lake of El Dorado, the water of Guatavlta into which Andean tribes threw their riches to appease their gods, haB been drained; here are some of Its treasures. Hartley Knowles, the man with the cigar box, is an English engineer who has made the excavations and has now brought some of the things t o America, He sayB himself that they are all exceedingly valuable as antiques, and, intrinsically, as gold and gems. One of the Americans t o whom Mr. Knowles has showed his treasures adds that the excavation of the sacred lake of the Andes brings with it a possibility that the excavator has apparently not thought of in discoveries as to the lives of prehistoric peoples and In civilization of prehistoric times. The story that lured a modern Englishman to South America, and Is interesting American collectors in South American discoveries, is the s a m e story that four and a half centuries ago called the Spanish adventurers to conquest In t h e unknown western world. It 1B the story of El Dorado. It Is a tale that moat of UB have heard long ago, and long ago forgotten. It is t h e legend of the holy lake. Upon the original story of the sacred lakes of t h e Chlbcha tribes in the northern part of South America innumerable myths have been built. The «arly tales themselves are well-nigh shrouded in xnyBtery and Bomewhat obscured by legend. Yet t h e story of El Dorado has Its historical foundation, and the tale of the sacred lake of Guatavlta, or Guatablta, Is accredited by historians to- <1ay. Much of the wonder-tale of El Dorado as t h e Spaniards and their followers built it on t h e first substructure Is probably untrue. But t h e story of the lake, BO far as historians have been able to ascertain, is a bit of real history— t h e tale of a people and their sacrifices, the record of wealth thrown away in a religious ceremonial as an offering to the gods, the true story of an ancient superstition. According to the legends told by travelers and t h e facts set down by historians, the Andean tribeB of the Chlbcha venerated the mountain lakes of their province, and into them threw t h e i r jewels. Great feasts and great fastings, the accessions of rulers, the celebration of a pllgirmage, the prayer for the tribe's good fortune— these were all accompanied by gifts of the nods; t h e gifts were thrown into the lake. Of these mountain lakes Guatavlta was the largest and moat important; here most of the feasts were beid, the; offerings made to the gods. And here «2cavators and engineers have gone from England with the latest dredges and engines and set u p modern apparatus to drain the lake. i The lake is drained now as nearly dry as the e&oavators dare to make it. Quantities of pott e t y , gold' and precious stones have been taken o u t . ' T h e excavations are still going on, and it If believe* that the discoveries have only begun. Vhrloua attempts have been made, in the last fijo* centuries, to find the treasure of Chlbcha p t e i ^ ; 1 h i » latest effort is proving successful. ' ft 'ttljmld lay that the gold and gems already tAkjjbV/rom the lake bottom amount to about ffioioi,V Mid Mr Knowles. "How much there • V l t f t ? shouldn't dare to gay. But I think that w * a r V J " * rasttbln* the most interesting part 4 f . e « r work a n d , p u r discovery. ' ft think that nrtart of what we have taken out « p "Cordate Is t r T » the sides of the lake. We C M - M i 3* i|HMilV»M to the t e t t o m . and we before we reach It. But, according to the stories, the bottom of the lake is where the richest treasures are." We have most of us heard in our childhood that t h e Spaniards of the sixteenth century dreamed of -El Dorado," the land of gold, and that they sougfit-for It in strange and savage and ever hopeful ways among strange and savage peoples. We have read how the lust of gold seized the adventurers of Spain, and they pressed into the wilderness and found and conquered more and more land without ever finding the land of gold. But, as a matter of fact, the Spanlsft-- explorers did find El Dorado.. Only El Dorado was not the land of gold; it was the golden man. And the treasure of the golden man's gift was not a treasure that could be found on the land; it lay at the bottom of a lake, and the Spaniards could not drain it. The story of the real El Dorado is the story of the religious festivals of the Chlbchas. The tribes of the Chlbchas, according to recent historians, occupied the plateau region of the northeastern province of Colombia, and were among the richest, the most magnificent, and the most enlightened of South American tribes. In their wealth, their barbaric splendor, and their handicrafts, they ranked with the Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of Peru. Their land was rich in emeralds. Gold they procured in great quantities from their immediate neighbors. Rich textiles and dyed cotton stuffs, as well as the feathers of beautiful birds, added to the wealth and their magnificence. Amber they obtained from their neighbors, and apparently from the other side of the world they procured in some unknown manner some quantity of Jade. Savage, uncontrolled in their indulgence of the arts of pleasure that they had cultivated even more eagerly than the arts of war, they were yet a thoroughly religious people. Their helrarchy of gods and goddesses had passed beyond the simple worship of the forces of nature and Included definite deities with definite powers —deities to be propitiated. Occasionally they offered up human beings to their gods; often they sacrificed talking parrots to avert calamity. But for the most part they gave their possessions to their deities, and worshipped, with barbaric wealth of sacrifice, at the sacred lakes. There were five of these lakes in the district that we now know as Colombia—Guatavlta, Guasca, Siecha, Teusaca, and Uhaque; of the five, Guatavlta was by far the most important, Ubaque being its nearest rival. The people made pilgrimages to all the lakes, but to Guatavlta most of all, and with the richest gifts. And it was at the lake of Guatavlta that the great ceremony of the Chlbcha tribes took place—the Installation of the chief. Guatavlta was the most imnortant center of the Chlbchas, the religious "capital" of the tribe. The chief who came to his kingdom with sacrifices to the holy water of the plateau was an absolute monarch, whose power rested largely on the assumption that he was seml-dlvine. No subject dared look his leader in the face, but in the royal presence turned aside or assumed a stooping attitude. No messenger might approach the chief without bearing a gift, not to win the royal favor, but merely to do homage to the royal state. Over every detail of his subjects' lives he ruled, and if a man of Guatavita wished to alter the style of his dress he must ask his leader's permission and receive the new garment from the royal hand. In his "South American Archaeology" T. Athol Joyce of the British Museum describes the stato of the Zlpa of Bogota: "His garments were of the finest cotton, his throne was of gold studded with emeralds, and he traveled in a litter hung with golden plates. His headdress was of gold, and a golden crescent ornamented his brow; nose and ear ornaments were of the same material, and also the breastplate he wore upon his chest." For five years or more before a Chlbcha chief became his people's ruler he must remain In seclusion, preparatory to the great ceremony of the lake. At the end of his rigorous period of probation—for It was also a period of stern selfdenial— the chief's nose and ears were pierced for the ornaments of his rank, and he made golden offerings to the gods. Professor Joyce, who in his book describes tho ceremonies of the sacred lake as historically attested facta, quotes from the history of the conquest and discovery of New Granada, by Jam ftodrlgues Fresle, written in 1636: "Not only was the ceremonial of Guatavita par ticularly elaborate, but it gave rise to the stories of El Dorado which so fired the imagination of the early conquerors and gave such an impetus to the exploration of the interior. According to Presle, the population of the neighborhood repaired to the sacred lake of Guatavita clad In their finest ornaments of gold and feathers. Innumerable sacrificial fires were kindled on the banks, and the lake was encircled with a cloud of incense. The ruler-elect was divested of his garments, anointed with an adhesive earth, and powdered with gold dust. Attended by his four principal sub-chiefs he embarked upon a reed raft ornamented with gold dust and furnished with four braziers for incense; at his feet was piled a mound of gold and emeralds, and amid the shouts of the multitude and the sound of whistles and other instruments he proceeded to the middle of the lake. There he plunged into the waters and washed off the offerings of gold dust, and the gold and emeralds were thrown in at the same timer the four chiefs making offerings on their own account. The raft then returned and the proceedings terminated with the revelry arnd chlcha drinking so dear to the heart of the Colombians." The chief with his gold-dust coat was in reality "El Dorado," the golden man of Spanish legend and Indian history. Splendid as were the ceremonies attending the consecration of the tribal chief at Guatavita, or GUatabita, as Professor Joyce calls it, the national pilgrimages and feasts were still more important. TheBe pilgrimages were made periodically to all the chief lakes of the country. The northern Chlbcha honored Guatavita almost exclusively, while the southern tribes paid their religions homage at Ubaque, south of Bogota. While the chiefs and nobles were throwing their gold and jewels into the sacred waters, the common people were burying theirs by the' side of the lake or in secret places not far removed from the holy waters. Many curious bits of pottery have been recovered from the neighborhood of the lake of Guatavita. When Mr. Knowles came to America a short time ago he brought with him many of the treasures that he had taken from the sacred lake. Most of the pieces are small. Whatever may be their value as ancient pieces of handicraft, the emeralds are undoubtedly the richest "finds" in intrinsic worth. M. de la Kier of the Royal Institute of Paris is quoted as estimating the probable value of the articles in the lake at several million English pounds. But such estimates are, of course, guesses. The bottom of the lake has not yet been reached, and is still in a semi-liquid muddy state. It is believed that the articles taken out to date were thrown or buried in the sides of the lake and have been, in the ages since, carried toward the center by the pressure of the mud. The number of pottery vessels found seems to substantiate this view. The work done by Mr. Knowles' company— which is Incorporated in London under the name of "Contractors, Limited"—is but the final link in a long chain of explorations that stretches from the times of the Spaniards down to tho present day. In 1562 Antonio de Sepulveda of Santa Pe de Bogota lowered the waters of the lake to fifteen feet, or thereabout, and is said to have taken out great quantities of gold and an emerald of rare beauty. Sepulveda had made his attempt by digging a trench, and before the work could be finished the sides of the trench caved in, and the waters began to riee again. During the three centuries that followed several attempts to drain the lake, always by means of trenches cut from above, were made and failed. ~ In 1897 a small company of native engineers was formed and three years later sold out its rights to Hartley Knowles and his company. "I had read about the legends of the golden man." said Mr. Knowles. who stands sponsor for the foregoing history of the attempts to drain the lake, "and, being an engineer, I thought I Bhould like to have a try. I have been working at it for twelve years. The lake is drained as dry as I want It; if it is completely drained the mud at the bottom may solidify, and we do not want that. What we are after now is to dig down to what was the bottom of the lake 450 yeara ago The present bottom is, of course, a, sediment of years. The lake is cup-shaped. It la about 10,000 feet above sea level in the Colombian Andes. It took four yeara to drain the lake. Now we are excavating. "The government of Colombia has been moat kind In letting us make the excavations and take out the things^, Of course the interest that attaches to the treasure it for aniquadans museums and collectors."

It was a chair that Githers had sat in after dinner for more evenings than he could count. "Why," he repeated, 'can't I go in there and read? What do you mean, mother?" Mrs. Githers approached him and picked a thread off his sleave. "Wouldn't you just as soon sit upstairs with me?" she asked brightly. "I'm going to sew." "What of it?" demanded her husband. 'Don't you usually sew downstairs hero? Don't we always sit downstairs? Why " "My goodness, John!" exclaimed his wife impatiently. "Wouldn't you like a change?" "Elmira," said Cithers, firmly, "you're hiding something—tell me at once!" "Simply nothing," said his wife.. "Only Grace is going to have a caller this evening and I wanted to let the child have the living room—oh, its one of the boys in her class and it's all right, so you needn't glare. She's seventeen and must have friends among the boys as other girls do. Not that she wouldn't just as soon have us there, but we'd embarrass them!" "What the dickens!" growled Githers^ turning-towardthe stairs- "Pret* ty state of things when I can't use my own chair! Callers at her age! Umph!" Mrs. Githers got him nicely arranged in her room and as she reached for the mending basket she paused, hand in air. The front door had slammed and a vast whistling heralded the entrance of the son and heir of the household. Mrs. Githers went and leaned over the banisters. "Rob!" she called In dulcet tones. "Hullo!" came the inquiring answer. "Where are you? Where is everybody Who's sick?" "Come up," said his mother. "Wouldn't you like to sit up here with father and me?" she wheeled as he arrived at the door. "Here's a nice comfortable chair and—" "What's the matter with the living room?" he demanded in amazement. "Why—" Mrs. Githers sighed. "I never saw such stupid men folks!" she declared. "Why can't you do things without having them all explained. I'd like to know? Grace has a caller coming and—" "Whoopee-e-e!" shouted Grace's brother, making a dart for her door. "Who's your beau, si's? Who've you got a crush on—" "Mother!" came Grace's indignant voice. "Make Bob stop! I think he's perfectly horrid! I haven't got a' crush on anybody and you know it, Bob Githers, and I perfectly hate you, so there now!" "Children!" cried Mrs. Githers. "I'm surprised at both of you. Stop it at once!" "Well, I'd like a look at the chump who's so important that I'm barred out of my happy home," protested her son. "Gee! There isn't anything to do up here! I'm going out!" "No, please don't!" urged his distracted mother. "I'll read out loud to you and dad!" "Mother!" called her daughter, frantically. "Come and tell me how my hair looks." Left to themselves Githers and his son stared dismally at each other. "Some doings, eh?" queried young Githers. "Tommyrot, I call it! Will sis be doing this every night forever'n ever till she's married off? I'm going to move if she does!" "This chair," said his father irritably, "was built for a boa constrictor, not a man. And where are the matches?" Mrs. Githers came back and Grace floated downstairs. She played a piece on the piano exactly as though she expected no one and then she wolked about. The men folks fidgeted. Then the telephone rang. Presently Grace called dolefully upstairs: "Tom can't come! He's got an awful cold! Isn't thatvhor-r-id!'» Githers and his son reached the bottom of the stalrB simultaneously. "My but I'm sorry for Tom!" said Githers as he grabbed the easy chair.

When the,, conductor came around to collect the fares he asked the usual question: "How old is the b o y f After being informed the correct age, which did not require a fare, the conductor passed on to the next person. / The lad sat quite still, apparently pondering over something; then, concluding that full information had not been given, he called loudly to the conductor at the other end of the car: "And mother's thirty-five."—Harper's Bazar.

Coffee and tea drinking being such an ancient and respectable form of habit, few realize that the drug—caffeine— contained in coffee and tea, 1» one of the principal causes of dyspepsia and nervous troubles. Without their usual portion of coffee or tea, the caffeine topers are nervous, irritable and fretful. That's the way with a-whisky drinker. H e has got to have hie dram "to settle his nerves"—habit ~ To leave off coffee or tea is an easy matter if you want to try it, because Postum gives a gentle . but natural support to the nerves and does not contain any drag—nothing but food. Physicians know this to be true* a s one from Ga. writes: "I have cured myself of a longstanding case of Nervous Dyspepsia by leaving off coffee and using Postum," says the doctor. "I also enjoy refreshing sleep, to which I've been an u t t e r stranger for 20 years. "In treating dyspepsia in its various types, I find little trouble when I can induce patients to quit coffee and adopt Postum." The Dr. is right and "there's a reason." Read the little hook, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Postum now comes in concentrated* powder form called Instant Postum. It is prepared by stirring a level tea* spoonful In a cup of hot water, adding sugar to taste, and enough cream t o bring the color to golden brown. Instant Postum la convenient; there's no waste; and the flavour la always uniform.

" HAIR CAME OUT IN BUNCHES 813 E. Second St., Muncie, Iud.—"My little girl had a bad breaking out on the scalp. It was little white lumps. The pimples would break out as large as a common pinhead all over her head. They would break and run yellow matter. She suffered nearly a year with itching and burning. It was sor© and itched all tho time. The matter that ran from her head was very thick. I did not comb her hair very often, her head was too sore to comb it, and when I did comb, it came out In bunches. Some nights her head itched BO bad she could not sleep. "I tried several different soaps and ointments, also patent medicine, but nothing could I get to stop it. I beganusing Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment this summer after I sent for the free samples. I used them and they did so much good I bought a cak© of Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment. I washed her head with Cuticura Soap and rubbed the Cuticura Ointment in th© scalp every two weeks. A week after I had washed her head three times you could not tell she ever had a breaking out on her head. Cuticura Soap and Ointment also mad© the hair grow beautifully."

When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when i t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can b« taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces.

Often before a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of • complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance t o keep your nervous system in j?ood condition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. A n n * Kounz, 2ir Mechanic St., Pueblo, Colo., says: "For many years I suffered from nervous prostration; I w a s unable to do any house work and doctors failed t o help me. Remedies I tried from druggists did n o t d o me a particle of good. A neighbor told m y husband about Dr. Miles' Nervine and he procured a bottle. After th« first few doses I showed a marked improvement and aiter taking two bottles I was entirely cured, 1 hav« been perfectly well for years *nd cannot praise Dr. Miles Nervine too highly." If you arc troubled with loss flf appetite, poor digestion, weaknesW> inability to sleep; if you are in "§?• general run down condition ana unable to bear your part of tht daily grind of life, you need something to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what i9 the matter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment. Dr. Miles' Nervine has proven its value in nervous dieorders for thirty years, and merit! a trial, no matter how many other remedies have failed'to help you. Sold by all druggists.

The nu.nber of people in this country who are becoming addicted to the different phases of what is known as t h e drug habit iB so numerous as to excite alarm. Years ago the victims of drugs were confined to consumers of opium or morphine, says the Milwaukee Wisconsin. Now there is a considerable variety of habit-forming drugs, with cocaine at the head of the }ust. At first It was hailed for its usefulness as a local anesthetic. Now it is dreaded for the number of men and women who have fallen under its eway, and whom it reduces to a condition of moral Irresponsibility. Many —probably nearly all—of the victims of cocaine and other habit-forming drugs use them at first for medicine. They are prescribed by physicians to allay pain. The hideous evils that follow slavery to these drugs rarely are dreamed of by those who use them, until after their use has become a htbit, and then the damage is done— for drr • habits, once formed, are inconceivably difficult to break. These drugs shatter the nervous system and blunt the moral faculties and predispose their slaves to crime. No wonder that physicians and officials charged with the administration of the criminal.laws._are banding together to check the sale and use of these insidiousdestroyers of health and morals. FERDINAND FOLLOWING HIS ARMY As our manners improve, have our children as good manners as our fathers or grandfathers had? We do not mean by good manners what the newer term social etiquette implies. Among the so-called Bocial Bets we find changing codes which direct the form of handshaking, modes of expression In meeting people, repetition of useless "don't you knows" in conversation, ability to select from multiform knives, forks and spoons for t h e multiform courses at luncheon and dinner, says the Knoxvllle Journal and Times. We can detect no purpose In theBe flippant forms of fashion excepting as the knowledge is a badge of •fellowship. And there seems to be much Btrlving to get within the circle. But these mannerisms are not good manners. The essence of good manners is kindness and courtesy. They extend below the surface deep into the character. A person habitually polite is one who has transformed into conduct the habit of thinking of others. They are apostleB of good cheer, being unwilling to cause embarrassment or chagrin to either their social confreres or the lowliest person they meet. They pay the waiter for the privilege of being Berved at all, after paying the head waiter to get a table if the restaurant is full. They pay to have their hat and coat kept for them during the meal, pay for getting a taxicab, and after it Is over and pay ,the chauffeur for the privilege of riding home with him In a cab for which the company has had to pay the hotel license fee for the right to use the public streets, says the New York "World. Prom the time they enter a restaurant until after they have left It they are subjected to numerous direct taxes, in addition to the indirect taxes imposed for music and marble corridors, which are but ill-disguised in the exorbitant prices charged for the food. Why should not the Hotel association round out the system of petty extortion by charging for admission? If, as reported, the sultan of Turkey sent a bag of millet seed to the kins of Bulgaria to show his numerical strength, and the king of Bulgaria sent back a bag of pepper seeds to show the style of opposition, the incident typifies the struggle between quantity and Quality which has had but one result since the world began. Mere brute strength and number no longer count in the great contests of the world. The little Irish cow has proved a priM winner at the National Dairy Show in Chicago.

A tentative peace agreement between Turkey and the Balkan allies has been reached. The armistice iiccordinK to an official announcement, paves the way for final peace terms. The new armistice will be general and will brinK about a cessation of hostilities throughout European Turkey. Final negotiations will be carried out on the same basis as that of the armistice. « (J rand Vivnier Klamil Pasha announced the armistice, but did not reveal the terms, lie intimated, however, that they were much better than the original terms imposed by Bulgaria on Turkey. May Pass "Blue Sky Law." A "blue sky law," adapted from a measure now in force in Kansas, will be presented in the Michigan legislature this winter. The bill, which is for ike purpose of protecting the investor from putting money in concerns organized for the principal purpose of belling stock, was favorably considered at the national convention of insurance commissioners at Spokane, Wash.,, last July. At the adjfl.urn.ed convention, which will be held in New ^ork next week, it will be refined and, to some extent, modified. It is proposed to introduce the measure in every legislature in the country through the insurance commissioners of the various states. C".

LABOR LEADERS ACQUITTED Justice Goff, in the criminal branch of the supreme, court, in New York, sentenced Whitey Lewis, Dago Frank, Lefty Louie and Gyp the Blood, the four gunmen convicted of the actual killing of Herman Rosenthal, gambler, to be electrocuted in Sing Sing prison during the week beginning Jan. G. Sheriff Julius Harburger preceded the quartet into court. He had on a long overcoat, with a big revolver in each pocket. From the time he entered the room until the door closed behind him as he followed the last of the four condemned men back to the Tombs, his grip never left the pistols. Hut there was no apparent need for the display, as nothing interfered with the proceedings. None of the men showed the slightest emotion. Dago Frank was the only one to say good bye to counsel, shaking hands with Wahle before he was led out of the court room. It iB expected that a formal notice of appeal, which will automatically act as a stay, will be filed within 10 days. Ettor, Giovannitti and Caruso Freed in Salem, Mass. Joseph J. Ettor and Arturo Giovannitti, leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World, and Joseph Caruso, tried in Salem, Mass., for the murder of Annie Lopizzo, a woolen operative, killed during the Lawrence, Mass., strike last Jar1 nary, were acquitted. According to the instructions to the jury neither Ettor nor Giovanniti could have been found guilty of murder in the first degr.ee. They were accused by the state of arousing a murderous frenzy by their speeches- which resulted in the mill woman's death. So intricate were the chief threads of the case that labor leaders who had been following it declared a verdict of guilty would have established a precedent which would make effective labor strikes in the future an impossibility. When the men heard the words freeing them from the charge, they embraced and kissed each other in the prisnoners' cage. An English woman left $500 in her will to another woman for smiling fleaaaatly at her aa they left church. Such a bequest does more for the sunshine habit than any amount of mere talk. Death's Toll of Deer Season Is 17, The hunting season which closed at midnight, tomorrow, has cost the lives of 17 hunters in northern Michigan and half a hundred hunters bodily injuries, one or two of whom may die. Fewer are reported killed this year than last, however, due to fewer hunterB in the woods, because of the lack of tracking snow until the last three days. Northern Michigan sportsmen want the season extended three or four months or longer, so- fewer hunters will go into the woods at once, and also have each hunter restricted to one deer. Legislate to protect human life as well as the game is the cry. Detroit Aldermen to Be Tried in Mt. Clemens. Circuit Judge James G. Tucker, of Mt.

Alleging frauds and irregularities of many kinds, Wayne county suffrage leaders Saturday morning filed application for a recount of the recent vote by which the county went about 12,000 against the constitutional amendment and thus apparently defeated the proposition in the state at large by a majority of about 700. According to the attorney general's ruling in the Saginaw case there is no statute distinctly providing for recount of constitutional amendments. He does not say that it can be done legally, but infers that courts will probably pass upon the matter. ^ J M B » ..society leader who proposes i#u& dog shall be eaten as a relief ffWA ttt« Wgb cost of meat, should te- 4ltt M i n example.

Telegraphic Communication Is Cut Off i n d Details of the Catastrophe Are Meager—Enormous Damage. That 15,000 people were killed and wounded in a Typhoon that swept the Philippine Islands was reported in cable dispatches to the bureau of insular affairb. News of the catastrophe came in a dispatch from the governor general of the Philippines. No figures of the dead or injured were given, but it was stated that probably half the population of two cities had been lost. The typhoon swept the Visayas Islands and is said to have practically destroyed '1 acloban, the capital of Leyte, on the northeast coast of the island, ana to have wrought enormous damage a n l loss of life at Capiz, the capital of the province of Capiz. Leyte has a population of 14,000. Capiz has a population T>t over 20,- \ 000._Capiz is the terminal of the rail road from Iloilo.It is a most import- j ant. sugar point. The dispatch containing information of the typhoon was sent Thursday. The governor general informed the department that he was rushing ? shipload of food and clothing and all available medical supplies to Tacloban. All telegraphic communication has been destroyed and it is impossible to get other Lhan vague reports of the extent of the destruction. That Tacloban has suffered an enormous loss of life is certain. The scene of the disaster is just ncrth of the destructive typhoon which swept the Cisayan Islands on Oct. 15, inflicting a heavy toll. Following receipt of the dispatch announcing t i e heavy casualties in the Visayas, the Red Cross prepared to uish a rellei fund to the governor general.

CHAPTER Ml—(Continued). "There are two ways of looking at It," I replied, my eyes fixed on the canvas and its perforations. "At first glance It does seem spiteful; but then there la a chance that it is not iconoclasm, after all. It may he, you know, just the reverse. I have not infrequently seen portraits that were so unjust to the originals that they fairly cried out for destruction." "But this is not one l i k e t h a t , " she retorted. "This seems to me a very good portrait. I am sure "Uncle Robert must have looked exactly like it, ten years ago." "Alas, we do not all. see with the same eyes," I assured her, smiling, "The destroyer may have looked on it as a caricature, not having your cultured taste in art." I held it off at arm's length, and after regarding it critically for a moment between halfclosed lids, I continued, "Do you think you could point out the identical tree to which it waB nailed?" "I could try," was her answer. "Is it far?" "Not very. A mile, from here, possibly. Over the ridge." "Near anything in particular?" "Near the trail which leads up from the trout stream to the entrance drive not far from the- Lodge.'* "When will you take me there?" I asked. For Just an instant she hesitated. "We might go now," she replied, "if it weren't that I am expecting Cella Alnslee for luncheon. Suppose we say five o'clock. You can meet me at the Lodge. It's a short walk from there." "Pine!" I approved, thrusting the portrait head beneath my arm and taking possession of both her whitegloved hands. Slender and shapely handB, yet wonderfully capable. "Good-byl" she cried, laughing. "Take care of my uncle!" with a glance towardB her punctured And. "Good-by!" I returned, releasing her. "Your uncle shall have my most faithful concern." The real significance of the words she, of course, did not comprehend. But as I stood watching her until a turn in the path enfolded her from my sight, their echo, ringing in my ears, impressed me with their pregnancy. Her uncle was evidently the focal point of a crafty and vengeful conspiracy, the seriousness of which I bad been foolishly endeavoring to minimize; and as such he was in nted, not only of my concern, but of all the loyal, energetic, and efficient aid of which I was capable. J Y \ t ) m. m£, > CHAPTER IV. The Chinese Servant. Four o'clock found me rapping at Ih© door of Cragholt Lodge. Consld- «ring that it was built thirty-five years ago by one of the Townsbury family who probably read English novels but had never been nearer to England than Coney Island, it possessed a surprising plcturesqueness; due in large part to its covering of dark English ivy. I had anticipated my appointment Witt) Evelyn by * full hour; for I wished to question old Romney, the lodge keeper; and the questions were not for milady's ear. He opened to me promptly, in person, this odd, rugged old man, with his seamed brow and great shock of irorf-gray hair and beard. He was in his shirt sleeves, but on seeing me he reached for his coat, which hung on a peg beside the door. "Never mind the coat, Romney," I said, "don't make yourself uncomfortable on my account. It's a warm * afternoon." "It is warmish, sir," he assented; but despite my protest he was thrusting his arm into the cdat sleeves. "It's been an uncommon hot September. Won't you step inside, sir?" He knew his place too well to Indicate* any surprise at my visit; yet I felt he mnst be curious over an event to*unusuaL "I have an inquiry or two to make, Romney," I told him, as, accepting h i t suggestion, I stepped into his coty, old-fashioned sitting room. "I heard some shooting over this way tfeta morning, and I've been wondering whether the game laws weren't being* broken." He plaeed a cushioned /rockingcTiaJr tor me, and I sat down. "Now <Wd you hear that, too, Mr. CfytieT' bU atked, brightening, as he W t t e d against the low sill of one of **r- daintily curtsfnad windows. * T * M 4 i b 6 i i t t m o*ck>cfc, «trr « little sfstv, vaybt. I wa« doin' * bit of ru-*--^ trlmmin' on the hedge outside, sir, when them same shots set mo a-thlnkin' that very thing. An' right away, sir, I says to myself, says I, 'It's that Chink what Just went up to the house to borrow a rifle.' " "That Chink?" I repeated, puzzled. "Yes, sir. Yellow Chinese boy, sir. He works for Mi» Murphy, the artist, what has the bungalow, down on the shore near Cos Cob. About half an hour before that he tomes by here on his way up to the house. 'What's wantin'?' I asks. 'Mistle Mulfy,' he says, 'wantee bollow lifle, shootee weasel, stealee chickee.' 'All right,' I tells him, and away he goes. So, you see, sir, when I hears the shots-1 thinks right away that Mr. Murphy's Chink is tryln' his 'hollowed line* on some of Mr. Cameron's pheasants, maybe. But 15 minutes later, along comes John again, with an innocent grin on his face, the rifle over his shoulder, and his hands empty as' air. _We_H, to be sure, I_ stops him, sir. 'You been shootin' In the woods?' I asks. 'No shootee/ he grins back. 'Me no shootee.' Then, sir, I swears at him, good and hearty, and calls him what he la. But all he can say is, 'No lie; me no shootee.' Then I asks him if he didn't hear a gun go off. 'Gun?' he says, as if he didn't know what gun meant. 'Lifle,' I explains. 'Yes, yes/ says he, 'me hear lifle shootee. Not my lifle.' *Whose lifle?' I asks him. 'Man with lifle, up load/ he says, pointing back. An' that was all I could get out of him, sir." I should have been amused, I suppose, by old Romney's recital. It was certainly very graphic, and hiB imitation of the Chinaman was histrionically artistic—I fear the stage missed a comedian of merit when Romney took to lodge-keeping—bdt at the flrst mention, of the oriental, I had pricked ray ears, and throughout the narration my mind was busy with those strangely worded letters of Cameron's and those still stranger blots which looked one way like a Chinese junk and the other way like a coolie in a straw helmet. The possibility of a connection, especially in view of the rifle and the perforated painting, seemed to me the reverse of remote. And yet I could hardly reconcile the notion of this apparently ignorant Mongolian being in any wise interested in bringing disaster upon a person so far removed from him In every way as was Cameron; much less in evolving or taking part in such a crafty plot as everything we had thus far learned of it Indicated this to be. My questioning of Romney shed very little new light on the subject. He had seen the Chinaman pass the Lodge on several occasions; he had rarely entered the grounds, however. I tried to ascertain what his "rarely" meant, and finally got him to say that in the past six months, "John," as he calted him, had visited Cragholt, on one pretext or another, possibly three or four times. But Romney's memory for dates was exceedingly feeble. He could not recollect whether one of those times was on or about the twenty-first of August. He was equally at a loss concerning the fourteenth of August and the fourteenth of September. "What do you know of this artist, Murphy, who employs John?" I asked. "Not much, sir," was his answer. "They do say as he Is rather eccentric, sir. He and the Chink lives alone there in the bungalow, summer and winter. He's a big red-headed and bearded fellow, sir. I did hear a story as to him gettin' into a fight up at Garrison's hotel in Greenwich village, and nearly killin' three young watermen near as big as himself." "Has he lived here long?" "Goin' on two years, now, sir." "He paints and sells pictures, I suppose •>,> "Maybe, Bir. I never sees any, though. But they calls him an artist, sir." I determined to visit Murphy on the pretext of purchasing some of his work, and in this manner learn, If possible, something more of his celestial servitor. "Of course you didn't see any one else with a rifle, today?" I asked, in conclusion. "The 'man with lifle up load' didn't materialize?" "No, sir. Not another soul, sir. I asked some of the boys—them as has charge of the deer in the preserve, over the way the shootin' sounded. But they hadn't seen no one, either, sir. Though they did hear the shots." I thanked Romney for his Interest —he knew I was one of the state game wardens—and admonished him to keep his own counsel as to my visit, leaving the impression with him that I wished to round up the culprit, and feared if my activity in the matter were scented my prey would be put on his guard and thus escape me. It still lacked twenty minutes of the hour of my appointment with fSreiytt when i issued from the Lodge, *q4 to occupy the time I entered the wide gateway between the great stone pillars with their heraldic shields, and sauntered leisurely along the smooth macadam drive, bordered by sentinel elms. My thoughts were busy with the new line of conjecture which Romney had unconsciously opened up for me. I wondered whether by any possibility this eccentric painter, Murphy, could be personally involved. Was Cameron acquainted with him? ' Had they ever quarrelled? From what Romney had told me of the affair at Garrison's the artist was evidently of a bellicose disposition. He had come here two years ago. Cameron had cm-necr Cragholt less than a yervr. Perhaps at the time he was preparing the mansion for occupancy he had offended the too sensitive Murphy, who—I was letting my imagination run free—may have wished to take a hand at the new decoration. It would probably be well for me to see Cameron before seeing the artist. The involutions of "my""ftypot-h-etieal train led me, I fear, into many monstrously preposterous conceits; yet, as subsequent events proved, the cogitation in which I indulged on that afternoon walk was not wholly idle. Although the working out was along lines which I waB then far from, foreseeing, It was curious, in looking back, to observe how very closely, collaterally, even at that stage, I came to the truth. In the midst of my revery, the rhythm of horse's hoofs on the drive awoke me to time and place. And as I raised my eyes, I saw, still some distance away, but bearing down upon me at a swift single-foot, the girlish figure of Evelyn Grayson, in white waist and gray habit, mounted on Prince Charley, a buckskin cayuse, which for saddle purposes she preferred to all the thoroughbreds in the Cameron stables. "Am I late?" she cried, reining the wiry little animal to a stand beside me. "Celia Ainslee just left. She was expecting the LentilhonB to stop for her in their motor boat, but they broke down and were delayed, and instead of coming at three o'clock, it was half-past four before they landed." "I fancy you are Just on the minute," was my response, as I consulted my timepiece. "But I'm still a mile from the Lodge," she argued. "And all the nearer to the trail," I condoned. "It must be somewhere about here, isn't it?" "You've passed it. It's just beyond that next bend." And she pointed over my shoulder. "Why didn't> you bring a groom with you to hold your steed?" I asked, smiling. "You, don't expect to ride Prince Charley Into the forest fastnesses, do you?" "I could," she answered, promptly. "I will, if you dare me. He can pick his way like a cat. But it isn't necessary. He'll stand forever, the dear thing, If I drop the bridle rein over his head." My preference was to have her on foot at my side, and BO I did not dare her. And thus it chanced that we left the homely little animal standing with drooping head and dangling rein on the shadowed side of Jhe driveway, and went off together down the narrow, slow-descending trail, the girl in the lead. The slanting sunlight, shooting Its golden arrows in intermittent volleys through the tree tops, made target of her hair, as we passed, scoring brilliant flashes of burnished bronze. Her hat, a broad-brimmed sailor ef coarse straw, was but a poor shield for that shimmering, tawny coil which lay low on her neck, and the darting rays had their will with it. I have never before or since seen hair Just like Evelyn Grayson's. There was such a wealth of it, and its color was so elusive. Under dim lights it seemed a prosaic brown, but with small encouragement it changed to a light fawn, streaked with lustrous topaz ajrands; which in the sun's blaze became a dazzling bronze glory. "I'm pretty sure I can find the tree," she asserted, as she swung along with that free, lissome stride which I loved. "It is an old, dead chestnut, a great giant of the woods, imposing even In death; and it stands only a half-dozen yards off the tralL I was looking for ferns, or 1 never in the world should have come upon it. How do you imagine that tning ever got away off here? And who could have stuck It up on that dead tree trunk?" "That is precisely what I should like to find out," was my reply. "It seems very mysterious to me. About what time was it, when you discovered it?" "Just before I met you." "Had you heard any shooting in the woods, before that?" "Shooting?" she queried, apparently surprised. "No. Was some one shooting?" "I understood so. Poaching, I imagine. After some of Cameron's fst pheasants." "But It's out of season," she declared, promptly. "That makes small difference with a poacher." Her belief in her ability to lead me to the tree of which we were in quest was not unfounded. Twice she paused and peered in between the gray trunks which grew close to our path; once she took a step off the trail, bending in keen-eyed search of certain familiar landmarks. These were the only interruptions to what was otherwise a straight march to ihe goal. When, at length, we reached it, she Identified it beyond question, and I had little difficulty in finding the nail from which the piece of canvas had been suspended. It was one of thin wire, with very Binall head, driven into the tree at a distance of about four and a half feet from the ground. Just beneath It I found four scattering bullet, holes, wjth the bullets too deeply embedded to be extracted with so poor a tool as a pocket knife. From this it was evident that the shots had been fired at comparatively short range, as indeed they must have been, seeing that the trees here grew so thickly as to make impossible any very extended line of sight upon the target. Somewhat, to Evelyn's perplexity I began making a careful inspection ot the ground," not only about the tree, but as far away from it as the range of vision extended. "What are ~you looking for?" she demanded, with a i>ho\v of concern, and, I thought, a little peevishly. "Footprints," I answered laughing. "Behold the American Sherlock!" "Have you found any?" "Only Cinderella's," and that put her in good humor. But I found something of much more Importance than the indentations of shoe soles. I found It very near the foot of the tree, just below where the painting had hung. It was half hidden by underbrush, and at first I mistook it for a stone. Unobserved by Evelyn, I slipped it into my pocket. "After all," I said to her, "there's not very much to be learned here, is there?" CHAPTER V. Found Dead. My motor boat, which had been running swiftly ard smoothly, with the least possible clamor from the exhaust, suddenly missed a stroke and then, after a succession of choking sobs, ceased all effort, and gradually loalng headway, drifted idly with the tide. "Well don«, Jerry," I whispered from my seat In the stern to the capable young Irishman who was bending over the motor—whispered, because, as all the world knows, the -water is a sounding board, and I had no intention of permitting any one on shore to hear my words of approval. To all appearances the motor had broken down, and wo were voyagers in distress. "The tide's settin' in," murmured Jerry. "Unless I miss me guess, it'll land us on his beach inside o' five minutes, sir." The slender scallop of a new moon had set an hour before, but the nigh{ was luminously clear, and the stars blazed with an almost southern effulgence. There was very little breeze and the waters of the Mlanus were scarcely rippled. The air was chill, however, though now and then there came to us a warm breath from the fields which all day long had lain baking iti the fervent sunshine. Along the shore to our left we caught the glint of lights from the summer cottages. To Jerry Rooney every inch of the little bay and river was familiar Each light was for him a landmark; and so, as much by Intuition as careful calculation, he had clogged the engine at a point whence, taking tide and current Into consideration, we might count upon drifting to the water end of Artist Murphy's lawn. As we drew nearer and he stealthily pointed out to me the location, I was able to descry a little grove of trees, black in the starlight, making a horizontal barrier across the limited enclosure, and hiding, like a rope portiere, the bungalow from the river. Through this no lights penetrated, and I began to doubt that, af?er all my pains, I should find at home the object of their taking. A catboat, with sail wrinkling in the uncertain breeze, glided by us, almost too near for comfort, and we caught a sentence, two sentences, In fact, from the conversation of the occupants: "Nobody knows him," In clear, ringing masculine tones; and, "He's handsome, if he is surly," in a woman's voice. I wondered if they were speaking of Murphy. My telephone inquiry of Cameron and subsequent questioning of the men ubxmt my place had proved to me that both observations would apply. No one seemed to know very much of this brawny, sandy giant, in spite of his two year's residence in the neighborhood. Now the shore's shadow was engulfing us, and the next moment, with a gentle swish of waters, we felt the boat's bottom grate on the pebbly beach. There was a landing a short distance further up—a spindling wooden pier—and to this Jerry, knee deep in the black water, turned the boat and mad a it fast. The prospect which confronted ua as we walked shoreward over the creaking planks was about as hospitable as the grim walls of a prison. The tree barrier rose stark and forbidding a dozen yards away. Between it and the river was a combination of pebbles, Band, high grass, and rugged oveigrown lawn, faintly visible In the starlight. On nearerapproach, however, we found an opening in the curtain of trees, a veritable valley of shadow, through which we passed to a strip' of neglected sward and a squat, unpainted weather-beaten cottage of a single story, with vine-screened verandah. And in what seemed, to us the very center of the house front, there shone a tiny glowing point, o.'! red fire. Wo had not come altogether in vain. By all "the"odds "of "chance, it was a safe conclusion that Murphy, In propria persona, was behind that lighted end of a cigar. Then we &aw the point move, describing a half circle, and simultaneously a voice rang out—a deep, sonorous voice, but of churlish intonation: .. "What do you_want_ hero?" _ I suppose he expected me to come to a sudden halt, but I was then only a few steps distant from the verandah, and as I answered him, I covered that distance. "My motor boat ran out of gasolene," I said, "and drifted * to your beach. I was in hopes we might borrow enough to get us home." I saw him now, dimly, in the shadowed recess. He was seated facing me, a creature of great bulk, with huge head and ponderous shoulders. "I don't keep gasolene," was his gruff response. "I thought—" I began, but his next utterance drowned my words. "I say I don't keep it," he reiterated, in louder tones. . "Isn't that plain?" "Oh, quite. You have neither gasolene nor good manners." I saw him rise, a massive tower, dwarfing his surroundings, and take a step forward to the edge of his porch. "This is my house and my castle," he flung at me, savagely, "and I won't stand for trespassers. If you two don't want to be Hung off my property, it would be advisable for you to make haste in going." My laugh was not calculated to salve his ill humor, yet I think he must have gathered from it that I was not to be terrorized by either his size o r ' h i s threats. "Your name's Murphy, I think," 1 ventured, calmly, not moving an inch. But he made no response. "Mine is Clyde," t went on; "I am one of the state game wardens." "I'm not interested in who you are," he' growled. "But I'm interested in learning •what your Chinaman waa shooting this morning, over on the Cameron place." "Then find out," was his courteous retort. "I'm sure I shan't tell you." "Maybe the Chinaman will be more obliging," 1 suggested, and turning to Jerry, who had stood in silence, all the while, a few steps behind me, I said: "Look around at the back, my lad, and if you can find Mr. Murphy's man fetch him here." But before I had quite finished, the big man in the shadow of the verandah was storming: "He'll stop just where he Is. If he dares to come another step nearer this house, I'll throw the pair of ycu over the hedge, neck and crop. Do you hear me?" "And if you dare to interfere with an officer or his deputy in the discharge of his duty, the authorities will settle with you," was my calm rejoinder. "Trot ahead, Jerry! His bark's worse than his bite." Jerry, quick to obey, disappeared on the instant around the corner of the bungalow, and Murphy, after a pretended dash forward, halted on the lower porch step. "See hero!" he demanded, cumbrously. "What's all this, anyhow? You come here after gasolene, ostensibly, and then declare you're game wardens after a law-defying, Chinese poacher."

Naw York When Every Sailor Wore a Queue The sailors' broad collars were devised so that the powder or tar on the wearer's queues should not come off on the blouse. In the old days every sailor wore his hair In a queue and either had the queue powdered or held together by tar. This was not good for the blouse or Jacket underneath. So detachable broad collars were added. Sailors stopped wearing queues a century ago. . But they still wear the wide collar. When Lord Nelson died the British navy went into mourning tor him. Sailors put broad black ribbons on their capt and black ribbons oa their blouses. And the ribbons remain to this day, not only on the uniforms of British sailors, but on those of other navies as well. The broad "bell shaped" ends of sailors' trouser legs were thus shaped so that the wearer might more easily turn his trousers up above his knees when he had to swab the decks. Deck swabbing was a hateful and supposedly degrading task. Hence the sailors called their enemies "swabs" as a terra of contempt. More than one man has failed In life simply because he persisted In having •pats and In wearing them.

N tho left, just past. the w e a t h t; r hen's nest, and not more than two steps from the box where they keep the cuckoo, there is the long bed where rosea bloom all the year round. And they grow like this so that Columbine m a y a 1 w a y s have one to stick in her hair, and that odd, mocking, soft-hearted cynic Pier- Columbine. r o t may cull one now and again to twiddle between his teeth. If you know the way, and the Cheshire cat will let you, you walk down the garden path, past the butterfly lime, and arrive at the neatest little cottage in Olympus. Now this is the dwelling place of the Harlequin set—Harlequin, Columbine, Clown and Pantaloon. It is one cottage in a little colony on the lower slopes of Mount Olympus (where the high gods dwell: Jupiter and the like), and is most- important because it contains the oldest inhabitants. The Clerk of the Weather lives a little higher up. The Four Queens a2id Kings live in a square Ql pagoda-like houses, and are waited upon by the Knaves. Pierrot and Pierrette live in romantic seclusion by a pool iu a tumble-down place covered with blue roses. And away behind the fields of stars where the flocks of clouds graze, there is another village where the Seven Princesses live, and the Third Son and an Ogre, and a Talking Rabbit, and all those peculiar and beautiful people who are entangled in our minds with the memories of -night nurseries, -and__the scent of our mothers who-bent over us in wonderful toilettes, and told us to go to sleep, or they'd be late for dinner. When.it gets to be about Christmas'there is a sort of aroma of excitement on the lower slopes of Olympus, and, especially in the house where Harlequin lives—a delicious sense of something exciting happening. Columbine opens the lid of the well that looks down onto the world, and there comes up a murmur of children's voices, and you can hear the quaintest things being said about the hanging up of stockings, and about Santa Glaus and the likely width of chimneys, and the running power of reindeer. And there is a tremendous rustle of colored paper, and a great run on almonds and raisins, and quite respectable citizens stand in front of shop windows gazing at dolls and dolls gaze back at them, so that the citizens go back forty years at a rush, and the rush is so great sometimes that they get tears in their eyes; for memory is quicker than motor cars, and the road it travels- is often dark and broken. So Columbine leaves the top of the well open all day and all night, and all the people in her cottage sleep with their windows open, so that the sweetly laden air comes up and gives them wonderful dreams. It does more than that. It waves the branches of the Christmas tree that grows at the bottom of the garden, near the sausage frameB, and very soon candles begin to bud on its branches. Now when the candles begin to get ripe, which happens at the same time that geese and turkeys hang in rows in shops and grow rosettes all over them, Harlequin takes an old, oaken pipe from a cupboard under the stairs, and they all sit round while he puts it to his lips and blows. As ho plays, dreams come to them of their ancient days, for Harlequin is first cousin to Mercury, and wears a black mask to hide the light of his face when he visits Columbine, who is Psyche, the Soul; the Clown is Momus, the Spirit of Laughter; and Pantaloon is Charon, who has that grim work of ferrying the souls over the Styx. There's an odd link of memories and of things held all through the centuries, but the most charming is this: Columbine Is a flower-like person, and there is a flower called Columbine, and it is BO called because it Is like four doves with outspread wings, and the French dove is colombe, and the dove is the symbol of the soul. So the world is never allowed to forget beautiful things, even if the burden of history is borne on the back of a flower. And the god-like glow and glitter of Mercury's limbs still shows in the glistening Bequlns on Harlequin's clothes, parti-colored as thoy have always been, to show how he covall ready to be lighted. They are so ready that when Pantaloon looks out of his window before making up his lace for the day he sees that the candles have burst into flame-flowers in the night. Then Columbine takes out a pipe, and she puts some magic soap into nectar and stirs it round with the bowl of the pipe until frothy suds appear. And then she blows bubbles that float up and out of the; window until they reach the Christmas tree, when they turn into great, glittering glass balls, all sorts of colors, and show pictures of the world all colored and shining. The children in the World look up and think they see Harlequin and Columbine floating down as gently as featherc, but they don't say so because their elders would only tell them it was the clouds. But it is Harlequin and Columbine, and Pantaloon end Clown follow soon after, bringing the t r e e w i t h N o w their each to his Columbine to to preparing that m l i s t this, season, easily as ,a in a breeze. his m a g i c , things must tiful n o w, must buy the Indies. And Pierrette. C h r i e t mas them. work begins, own job and hers. Clown the laughter spring up iu and ripple as barley field Harlequin to f o r common appear beauand a penny wealth of the Pantaloon to stirring up old memories in dull people, so that uncles must remember all their nephews in remembering when they were nephews themselves, and had a peculiar hunger at Christmas. Columbine"is awfully practical. Hersentiment extends from the joy of watching the making of baby-clothes to the pleasure of remembering to put nice soap in the spare rooms. It is she who sees that children get the right presents, and when they don't it is not her fault, but the fault of some stupid person in a shop. It is she who suggests the secret delight of keeping presents hidden at the bottom of the wardrobe; and it is she who suggests the secret delight of peering at children when the,y are asleep, There are Pagan Saints who find Arcadia everywhere. Pan pipes as much in the crowded city as on Mount Ida when the sun is high. And Columbine finds roses where the world sees thorns; and Harlequin finds magic in motor 'buses; and Pantaloon digs away for pleasant memories in the most unlikely places, and finds them bright and clean, and as good as new. These half-gods of mine (and yours) come down at Christmas to correct the bilious attitude All thlB, beautified by the essence of Time, like things put away In a cedar chest, comes back when Harlequin blows on his pipe that air the shepherds learnt in Greece from Pan. The next night Clown will take out another kind of pipe, a long churchwarden of white clay, and fill it with tobacco, and then as the fragrant clouds roll up into the rafters, memories come of all the great people of the Harlequinades they play down in the world, all Inspired by them, and they see the figure of Tarlaton, who was the first clown, and Invented the vary clothes they now wear, hand in hand with GriraaldS, that great clown. And they seem to see all the great Italian Harlequins, and the dainty French Columbines, and the old dandies of fifteenth-century Venice whose clothes Pantaloon wears. Do you know that elderly gentlemen rh, the World smell that magic tobacco, or something like it, and they forget their paunches, or their bald heads, and they sit and dream of the time they went to their first pantomime? * Was it •Cinderella," or "Beauty and the Beast"? Or was it that B p l e n d i d t h i n g "Mother Oooae," or that entrancing production "The yellow Dwarf"? Such things are conjured up by just that one pipe of tobacco smoked in the cottage on Olympus, and on that night a gentle breeze blows up through the well, laden with the poignant, eternal memories of childhood, «n4 the candles on Pantaloon. the Christmas tree are of the rest They c o m e s e e d s that ers in the hearts. They ence t h a t give a man instead of a the b e i n g that the busweighs more timent h a d up his stockmas Eve, and feels like to Pierrot. of the year, to sow those grow to flowstill innocent are the influraakes y o u fifty c e n t s quarter. And w h o s a y s iness of life than the senbetter hang ing on Christsee what it find nothing but a hole in it in the morning. And when it is dark these four quaint figures flit through the country, city, town and village like conspirators, Harlequin tapping doors and windows with his magic wand. "Open, open!" .he cries to the Spirit of Chrlstmaa. "Let the rich uncle reward his needy nephew, and the unforgiving father his repentant son. Mothers, forget to be jealous of your elder daughter's growing beauty. Children, forget your spite and naughtiness. Let's be old-fashioned. Let's believe in ghosts. I'll tell you ghost-stories^ storieB of yourselves when you were children and played Pirates on the stairs. And Clown says as he taps on the doors with hfi red-hot poker: "Open, open, you old grousers! And let the Spirit of Pun come into thia house. Romp a hit, and lose your twopenny dignity, for pompous stiffness makes the gods laugh." Pantaloon, taking his turn, taps with his walking- stick, and aays: "Open, open, and let in the flood of memories of the good old times! Holly and mistletoe and robins, and church bellB sounding over the snow. And hampers all packed to be sent away, and plenty to eat at home. And then C o l u m b i n e steals up to the windows, and taps them with the rose from her hair, and she whispers: "Open, open to me all you who have no children Harlequin, and no friends and no hope, and I will bo the warm, nestling tning you covet for your frozen hearts, and you shall feel my soft cheek against yours till the tears come and your heart takes life again. You shall give joy to other people's children. And if you have no friends who have children, are there not a thousand, thousand children who have no friends? Go to them, and give them all you can, and you will be rewarded almost more than you can bear, for there is a link between thoseywho suffer. Are there not some you have forgotten or neglected? This lonely man, that lonely woman whom you have left uncared for, perhaps for years. Put on your hat and your coat, and put your heart on your sleeve, so that all may know your errand."- To see her pleading before black, sombre houses where a thin light shines under a blind; to see her face pressed against the window of some big mansion where a man or a woman sits alone with hearts like stone; to see her tears as she essays to melt an aching heart is to see something so touching and beautiful that one almost wondefs" the doors and windows are not instantly opened to admit the spirit o f love she begs for so pitifully. '» "Look at yourselves, Messieurs et Mesdames Importance, and remember the funny little things you used to be when you bit at coral and bells, and wore bibs, and thought everybody in the world had enough to eat; when you hated to gGkj to bed early, and crept downstairs in your night-^J gowns to listen over the bannisters to the voices ; in the dining room; when no jam for tea was a tragedy. And when your mother's knee was the throne of justice and mercy, for you buried your : head there with her hand in your I hair, and forgot to be afraid'of the dark." Columbine has her own very partucular work, and she calls it in her mind Secret Delights. She calla it that because she delights in making up odd names for emotions, as, for instance, when she pointed out two' lovers to iffe one day in the spring, who were seated under a hedge, yellow-flushed with primroses; they were holding hands and looking at the hills beyond just as If some, wonderful thing was about to come over the hills to tell them what their feelings meant. . And the peace was so greatand the moment so held that the World seemed to have stopped breathing. antT'-something superhuman to have poured out a cup of stillness. And she called it Liquid Velvet. A Liquid Velvet moment. And I understood. It is Columbine who watches that beautiful comedy of the newly mar-j ried, who steal about their house hand-in-hand, fearful of waking the very new servants, fearful of creaking the boards as they gaze enraptured on tho very new furniture, looking with joy on the very new pots and pans in the kitchen, turning the electric lights up and down all over the place to 'see the effect in their new bedroom. And be has a dreadful brooch for her hidden where he keeps his razors; and she has knitted him a tie he will have to wear. But it is all perfectly beautiful. Someone wrote the other day that people who read are more interested, nowadays, in business than in dove, and I'm so sorry for that man. He Is more blind than I thought anybody could be, Business may be the means to an end, but Love is the beginning and the end. And it is just at this season that Love makes business: hence the shops full of gifts. Imagine a poet writing: "Cent, per cent, the moon is rising, Watch the stocks upon the bank; Rubber shares are too surprising, Speculators are surmising Who the deuce they have to thank!" No one can get a heartbeat out of that, and whatever your business man says, he knowB he gets all the good in his life out of heartbeats. So this Christmas Spirit creeps abont the world, mocked at, scorned, but alive.yet. And yon who feel these things may one night Bee this quaint quartet at work, perhaps for a second at the corner, of your street, perhaps just vanishing down the drive, or moving swiftly down a country lane. And you may aay wonderingly: "It Is a cobweb, a moth, and the branch of a tree, and the starlight makes them look like—like something I remember." • But I tell you who they are—Harlequin, Columbine, Clown and Pantaloon! And if you hear a child's laugh ring out suddenly, and it brings a new, quick emotion, one of them has conquered you! „ 0 - ,,, The spirit of Christmas doesn't cling to presents in proportion to their cost—unless y m are very rich; and if you-are very rich the voice of the jeweler and of the furrier and of the motor car maker will seem to you as wise, as the word of a happy poor man, though he were a philosopher. Simple and genuine and glad—strike these notes and the chimes will he very melodiously for you and for those whom you try to make happy. And remember, you can't feign Christmas without being caught as an Impostor, both h7 your own conscience and by the feelings of those about you. The very value of Christmas is that It puts the genuineness of everybody to tat unerring teat Ctown.

A device for holding a bag open and at the same time holding It above the ground—on a fence post, for example, has been invented by a North Dakota man. It consists of a pair of metal bars that are plvotally connected. The short ends of the bars are bent in to form spun*, like the tongs, and Bag H o l d i n g F r a m e . the long endB form a rectangular frame in which the mouth of the bag is fixed. A strong spring joins the long ends near the pivotal point When the outer ends of the bars are spread apart the inner ends spread also and can then be made to embrace a poBt. When the device is let go and the spring contracts it grips the jaws against the post and holds the apparatus in horizontal position, with the mouth of the bag open. TIME FOR UMING PASTURES Late Fall Is Best as Winter Rains Will Work It Into Soil—Spread as Soon aa Alr-SUcked. The latter part of the fall is the best time to lime the pasture, as the winter ralnB and snows will gradually work it into the soil. A medium dressing, about 40 bushels or air-slacked lime spread to the acre, is about the right quantity to use. One bushel of freshly- burnt lime, when air slacked, will make two bushels; 20 bushels of freshly burnt lime will cost six cents per bushel at trSjkiln, which is $1.20 per acre, not counting the hauling. This is an economical dressing for one. acre of grass pasture. The lime should be spread as soon as it is air-slacked. The field should be run over with a sharp iron-tooth harrow, and about ten pounds of a mixture of timothy, red top and blue grass sown to the acre. In the spring sow two pounds of red clover, one pound of white clover, and one pound of alsita cloverseed to the acre. The clover and grass will make; a rapid growth In the spring if the land is in good health. Lime sweetens land; kills out Borrel; rots up the vegetable matter; disintegrates the hard particles of clay and puts the ground in good condition for plant growth. Ground limestone is now quite large-, ly used and has some advantages over burnt lime. Being ground very flne» it may be drilled in with the seed inl any quantity. Ground limestone has a very mild action on the soil, and ia not as effective as burnt lime. It is now recommended for light lands and for land that is to be sown in alfalfa. Two to three tons is said to be the proper dressing forgone acre. Prepared lime or agricultural lime is made by adding water to caustic lime out of contact with air. By this process 56 pounds of caustic lime becomes 74 pounds of hydrate of lime. HOW TO MAKE CORN SHELLER FARMERS GOING BACK EAST Maiy Advantages Offered Worn Out Farms by Adoption of Modern Methods of Agriculture. A good many men at the present time are going east (in many instances these were farmer boys back east before they grew up and went west) and buying worn out, rocky homesteads that have been abandoned, hoping with the money and Ideas they gained in the west to make themselves wealthy on the abandoned acres near the big eastern markets. There should be a great opportunity for active young agriculturists with modern agricultural training in the old eastern states. Many farms there have been abandoned because of the depleted condition of the soil and the fact that competition with the fresh lands of the west was unprofitable on standard crops. It la Bald that at the present time nearly 2,000,000 acres of Idle farm land is lying along the boundary line between New York state and Pennsyl« vania. Surely, with the great markets at the very door of these lands, there are for the eastern farmer wonderful possibilities.

A block of wood! having a sloping notch cut from one end is mounted on three legs asj shown In the illustration from Popu-i lar Mechanics. The notched part as well as the lever ia thickly filled with; <1 Homemade Corn Sheller. spikes driven in so that their heads protrude about one-half Inch. The ear of the corn ia placed in the notched part and the lever pressed down. Two or three strokes of the lever will remove all the kernels from the cob. A box is provided and conveniently located on one leg to catch the shelled corn. ach "mp Buying Machinery. One thing that cuts down the profits on the farm is the expense for new machinery. Usually these* machines are necessities but the first cost is always something of an Item. G A R D E N &»* FARM NOTCS Keen tools save time, labor and do ost efficient work. The man with the silo is not worrying over^wjnter feed. Anything that reduces the cost of maintenance increases the profit. As a general rale, potatoes should be planted on fresh gxound^each yean. A 160-acre farm with a silo wtH .produce aa much revenue as a 180-ai farm without Deep plowing increases the soil's water-holding power, also Its plant* feeding power. The corn that shells off while husk* ing can be saved if a coal shovel is used in unloading. It's a shame to let a vast amount of feed go to waste each year by not using the corn stalks. Asparagus is a hardy plant, ft does not need a winter mulch to keep it from being killed by freezing. » More alfalfa means more homegrown feed and smaller feed bills. It naturally leads to better profits. Borne people have gone so far as to claim that the corn stalks in the silo are worth as much as the ears in the crib. f> Secure an abundance of good, clean straw now, for bedding, thus insuring the'comfort of all animals during the winter months. A few gallons of paint would not be expensive^ but if it were rightly applied It would add a great deal toi the value of the place.

D,—"My trouble of skin disease started merely as a rash on my face and neck, but it grew and kept getting worse until large scabs would form, fester and break, This was Just on the one side of my face, but It soon scattered to the other side. I suffered a great deal, especially at night, on account of 11B itching and burning. I would scratch It and of course that irritated it very much. This rash was on my face for about two years, sometimes breaking out lots worse and forming larger sore* It kept me from sleeping day or night for a couple of months. My face looked disgraceful and I was almost ashamed to be seen by my friends. "A friend asked me to try Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment. I would bathe my face with hot water and a lot of Cutlcura Soap, then I would put on the Cutlcura Ointment. In less than two, days' time, the soreness and inflammation had almost entirely disappeared, and in four weeks' time you could not see any of the rash. Now my face is without a spot of any kind, I also use them for my scalp and hair. They cured me completely." (Signed) Miss Pansy Hutchlns, Feb. 6, 1912.

Figures published by the federal butreau of education give evidence that the rewards of genius engaged in the educational field are considerably below those attainable in oth-r of the learned professions and in many industrial avocations. The highest paid head of a state-aided institution of learning is -he president of th« Uuiver-« Hlty of California, who receives $12.- OOO a year and house. The president •of Cornell university and the University of Illinois, each receive J10,- OOO a year and house, and the president of the University ot Minnesota, \ 110,000 a year -without house. Other presidents 'salaries run dowsx as low as $2,400. The beBt paid full professor •enJoyB an income ot f€,<HK) a year, and the least paid tutor straggles along on an allowance of $50. When it Is considered that there are lawyers tn the country earning from $50,000 to $100,000 a year, that eozne medical men command almost as laTge earnings, and that many engineers, presidents of manufacturing concerns and others engaged in industrial pursuits are equally weil rewarded, one may well marvel that so many men of superlative intelligence devote their liveB to pedagogy. PRESIDENT SENDS ANOTHER MESSAGE .—•___ Tells Congress About the Fiscal, Military, Insular and Judicial Affairs of the Nation, Including Panama Canal and Tolls Established. There are'almost two sides to the simple little facts of life. There is this matter oT drinking water at one's jtteals.Tt has beeli regarded as a miserable habit. The school textbooks teach it that way, and they give very impressive reasons for it. It used to be taught—drink at your meals, if you feel like it; drink all you want; it is good for you; helps digestion. Then came the opposite doctrine, never drink at your meals, and not for an hour afterward, and that Idea has prevailed and is a part of our wlso school knowledge these days. Now comes Professor Hawk of the University of Illinois who has been studying the subject for seven years, and his conclusion is that water-drinking at meals helps digestion, principally by utilizing the protein food, which is, regarded as the most important function of digestion, says the Ohio Journay. Then, fluids help digeBt the fats and throttle the bacteria that rango along the alimentary canal and keep' stirring up all sorts of tumults. So the latest information is not to let' anybody scare you about drinking water at your meals. Just drink what you want and forget about it. Scientists say that the average man eats 60 per cent, more food than he uses. This is a violation of economic law. Hence dyspepsia and kindred ills. The best digestive tonic in the world is hunger, actual, gnawing hunger. ' Let the average dyspeptie try it for a while and see how it "works. The only animal in the world 1hat eats when he is not hungry is a liog—of one kind or another.

While the four years of the administration now drawiriK to a close have riot developed RTeut speculative expansion or a wide field of new Investment, thi; recovery and progress made from the depressing conditions following the panic of 1907 have been steady and the Improvement ha* been cleur and easily traced In the Btatlstictt. The business of the country is now on u Holid basis. Credits are not unduly extended and every phase of the situation seems in a state of preparedness for a period of unexampled prosperity. Manufacturing concern* are running at their full capacity and the demand for labor was never so constant and growing. The foreign trade of the country for this year will exceed 14,000.000,000, while the t>alance rn our favor— that of the excess of exports over imports—will exceed $500,- ¢00,000. More than half our exports are manufactures or partly manufactured material, while our exports of farm products do not show the same Increase of fie-mestle eonsuflvption. U -4« a y«ar of bumper crops; the total money value of farm products will exceed $9,500,000,000. It Is a year when tho bushel or unit price of agricultural products has gradually "fallen, and yet the total value of the entire crop is greater by over $1,000,000,000 than we have known in our history. Condition of the Treasury. The condition of the treasury Is very tintlsfactory. "Thrvr totnt 1 nterest-bt» arin*f debt is $-»«.777,770, of which $134,031,980 con- Rtlute the Panama canal loan. The mminterest- bearing debt Is $378,301.2X4.90. Including $346,671,011) of greenbacks. We have In the treasury $1.-)0.000,000 in gold coin as a reserve against the outstanding greenbacks; and in addition we have a cash balance in the treasury as a general fund of |167,152,478.99, or an Increase of $2-,975,- 562 over the general fund last year. Receipts and Expenditures. For three years the expenditures of the government have decreased under the Influence of an effort to economize. This year presents an apparent exception. The estimate by the secretary of the treasury of the ordinary receipts, exclusive of postal revenues, for the year ending June 30, 1914. indicates that they will amount to $170,000,000. The sum of the estimates of the expenditures for that same year, exclusive of Panama canal disbursements and postal disbursements payable from postal revenues Is $732,000,000, indicating a deficit of $22,000,000. For the year ending June 30, 1913. similarly estimated receipts were $667,000,000, while the total corresponding estimate of expenditures for that yeai', submitted through the secretary of the treasury to congress, amounted to $656/)00,000. This shows an Increase of $76,000,000 in' the estimates for liH4 over the total estimates of 1913. This Is due to an increase of $25,000,000 in the estimate for rivers and harbors for the next year on projects and surveys authorized by Congress; to an Increase under the new pension bill of $32,500,000; and to an increase In the estimates for expenses of the navy department of $24,000,000. The estimate for the navy department for the year 1913 included two battleships, i.'ongress- made provision fur only one.battleship, and therefore the navy department: has deemed it necessary and proper to make an estimate which Includes the first year'H expenditure for three battleships In addition to the amount required for work on the uncompleted ships now under construction. In addition to the natural tncreaae in the expenditures for the uncompleted ships, and the additional battleship estimated for, the other increases are due to the pay required for 4,000 or more additional enlisted men in the navy. and to this must be added the additional cost of construction Imposed by the change In the eight-hour law which makes It applicable to ships built In private shipyards, The president then explained at some l e n g t h the national reserve association s y s t e m recommended by the monetary commission and urged congress to examine the plan impartially from all standpoints and then to adopt some plan which will secure the benefits desired. Concerning1 the tariff he had little to nay in view of the fact that a n e w cong r e s s has been elected on a platform of tariff for revenue only. Army Reorganization. Our small army now consists of S3,809 men, excluding the 5,000 Philippine scouts. Leaving out of consideration the coast artillery force, whose position is fixed in our various seacoast defenses, and the present garrisons of our various Insular possessions, we have today within the continental United States a mobile army of only about 36,000 men. This little force must be still further drawn upon to supply the new garrisons for the great naval base which is being established at Pearl Harbor, In the Hawaiian Islands, and to protect the locks now ra.pl4.ly approaching completion at Panama. [ -fhe force* remaining In the United States are now scattered In nearly fifty posts, situated for a variety of historical reasons In twenty-four states. These posts contain only fractions of regiments, averaging less than 700 men each. In time of peace It has been our historical policy to administer these units separately by a geographical organization. In other words, our army in time of peace has never been a united organisation but merely scattered groups of companies, battalions and regiments, and the first task in time of war has been to create out of these scattered units an army fit for effective teamwork and co-operation. To the task of meeting these patent defects, the war department has been addressing Itself during the past year. A comprehensive plan of reorganization was prepared by the war college division of the general staff. This plan was thoroughly discussed last summer at a series of open conferences held by the secretary of war and attended by representatives from all branches of the army and from congress. In printed form it has been distributed to members of congress and throughout the army and the national guard, and widely through institutions of learning and elsewhere in the United States. In it, for the first time, we have a tentative ohart for future progress. The National Guard. Under existing law the national guard constitutes, after the regular army, the first line of national defense. Its organisation, discipline, training-, and equipment, under recent legislation, have been assimilated, as far as possible, to those o( the regular army, and Us practical efficiency, under the effect of this training, has very greatly increased. Our clti- ,sen soldiers under present conditions have reached a stage,of development beyond which they cannot reasonably be asked to go without further direct aa- ''vtatano* In the form of pay from the federal government. On the other hand, such 'pay from the national treasury would not . bo Justified unless it produced a proper j teulvsle&t in additional efficiency on the part of the national guard. The organized militia today cannot be ordered outside of the hmlta of the United States, and thus cannot lawfully be used for general military purposes. The officers and men are ambitious and euycr to make themselves thus available and to become an efficient national reserve of citizen soldiery. They are the only force of trained men, other than the regular army, upon which wc can rely. The so-called military pay bill, in the form agreed on between the authorities of the war department and the representative* of the national guard, In my opinion adequately meets these conditions and offers a proper return for the pay which it is proposed to give to the national guard. I believe that its enactment into law would be a very long step toward providing this nation with a first line of citizen soldiery, upon which its main reliance must depend in case of any national emergency. Plans for the organisation of the national guard into tactical divisions, on the same lines as those adopted for the regular army, are being formulated by the war college division of the general staff. Porto Rico, Mr. Taft says, continues to s h o w notable progress and he urges the senate to pass the bill g r a n t i n g the Porto Rieans American citizenship. Philippines. A bill is pending In congress, continues the message, which revolutionizes the carefully worked out scheme of government under which the Philippine islands are now governed and which proposes to render them virtua l l y rratrmomous at once and absolutely independent in eight years. Such a proposal can "only be rouTTcTeTI on the assumption that w e have now discharged our trusteeship to the Filipino people and our responsibility for them to the world, and that t h e y are now prepared for s e l f - g o v e r n m e n t as -well as national sovereignty, A thorough and unbiased knowledKe of the facts clearly shows that these a s s u m p t i o n s are absolutely with justification. As to this, I believe that there is no substantial difference of opinion a m o n g any of those who have had the responsibility of facing- Philippine problems in the administration of the islands, and I believe that no one to w h o m the future of this people is a responsible concern can countenance a policy fraught w i t h , the direst consequences to those on whose behalf it is ostensibly urged. Our true course is to ptirsue steadily and courageously the path we have thus far followed; to guide the Filipinos into self-sustaining pursuits; to continue the cultivation of sound political habits through education and political practice; to encourage the diversification of Industries, and to realize the advantages of their industrial education by conservatively approved co-operative methods, at once checking the dangers of concentrated wealth and building up a sturdy, independent citizenship. Regulation of Water Power. There are pending before congress R large number of bills proposing to grant privileges of erecting dams for the purpose of creating water power In our navigable livers. The pendency of these bills has brought out an Important defect in the existing general dam act. That act does not, in my opinion, grant sufficient power to the federal government in dealing with the construction of such dams to exact protective conditions in the interest of navigation. It does not permit the federal government, as a condition of its permit, to require that a part of the value thus created shall W applied to tho further general improvement and protection of the stream. I believe this to be one of the most Important matters of internal improvement now confronting the government. Most of the navigable rivers of this country are comparatively long and shallow. In order that they may he made fully useful for navigation there has come into vogue a method of improvement known as canalization, or the slack-water method, which consists in building a series of dams and locks, each of which will create a long pool of deep navigable water. At each of these dams there Is usually created a long ppol of deep navigable water. At each of these dams there la usually created also water power of commercial value. If the water power thus created can be made available for the further improvement of navigation In the stream, it Is manifest that the improvement will be much more quickly effected on the one hand, and on the other, that the burden on the general taxpayers of the country will be very much reduced. Private interests seeking permits to building waterpower dams in navigable streams usually urge that they thus Improve navigation, and that if they do net impair navigation they should be allowed to take for themselves the entire profits of the water-power development. Whatever they may do by way of relieving the government of the expense of improving navigation should be given due consideration, but It must be apparent that there may be a profit beyond a reasonably liberal return upon the private investment which is a potential asset of the government in carrying out a comprehensive policy of waterway development. It Is no objection to the retention and use of such an asset by the government that a comprehensive waterway policy will Include the protection and development of the other public uses of water, which cannot and should not be ignored in making and executing plans for the protection and development of navigation. It Is also equally clear that Inasmuch as the water power thus created is or may be an incident of a general scheme of waterway Improvement within the constitutional jurisdiction of the federal government, the regulation of nucli water power lies' also within that Jurisdiction. In my opinion constructive statesmanship requires that legislation should be enacted which will permit the development of navigation in these great rivers to go hand In hand with the utilization of this by-product of water power, created In the course of the same improvement, and that the general dam act should be so amended as to make this possible. I deem it highly important that the nation should adopt a consistent and harmonious treatment of these waterpower projects, which will preserve for this purpose their value to the government, whose right it is to grant the permit. Any other policy in equivalent to throwing away a most valuable national asset. The Panama Canal. During the past year the work of construction upon the canal has progressed most satisfactorily. About 87 per cent, of the execavation work has been completed, and more than 93 per cent. «of the concrete for all tho locks Is In place. In view of the great Interest which has been manifested as to some slides In the- Culebra Cut, I am glad to say that the report of Col. Ooethals should allay any apprehension on this point. It is gratifying to not* that none of the slides which occurred during this year would have Interfered with the pass*** of th* ships had the canal, la fact, been in operation, and whan the slop* pressures will have been finally adjusted and th* growth of vegetation will minimize erosion In th* banks of the cut, the slide problem will be practically solved and an ample stability- assured for the Culebra Cut. Although the .official date of the opening has been set for January 1, 1915, the canal will, In fact, from present Indications, be opened for shipping during the latter half of 1913. N o fixed date can as yet he set, but shipping interests will be advised us soon as assurances can Y>e given that vessels can pass through without unnecessary delay. Recognizing the administrative problem in the management of the canal, coni- rress in the act of August 24, 1912, has made admirable provision for executive responsibility i n the control, of the canal and the government of the Canal Zone. The problem q/ most efficient organization Is receiving Careful consideration, so that u scheme of organization and control best adapted to tho conditions of the canal may b«# formulated and put in operation an expeditiously as possible. Acting under the authority conferred on me by congress, 1 have, by executive proclamation, promulgated the following scheduel of tolls for ships passing through the canal, based upon the thorough report of Emory R. Johnson, special commissioner on traffic and tolls: 1. On merchant vessels carrying passengers or cargo. $1.20 per net vessel ton—each 100 cubic ___t--of actual capacity. 2. On vessels in nallast without passengers or cargo, 40, per cent, less than the rate of tolls for vessels with passengers or cargo. 3. Upon naval vessels, other than transports, colliers, hospital ships, and supply ships, 50 cents per displacement ton. 4. Upon army and navy transports, colliers, hospital ships, and supply ships, $1.20 per net ton, the vessels to be measused by the same rules as are employed in determining the net tonnage of mer- . chant vessels Rules for the determination of the tonnage upon which toll charges are based are now In course of preparation and will be promulgated in due season. P a n a m a Canal T r e a t y . Tlie proclamation which I have Issued In respect to the Panama Canal tolls is In accord with the J Panama Canal act passed by this congress August 24, 1912. —We—have -been advised—that the British government has prepared a protest against the act and its enforcement in so far as it relieves from the payment of tolls American ships engaged in the American coastwise trade on the ground that it violates British rights under the Hay- Pnuncefote treaty concerning the Panama Canal. When the protest is presented, it will be promptly considered and an effort made to reach a satisfactory adjustment of any differences there may be between the two governments. Promotion for Col. Goethals. As the completion of the canal grows nearer, and as the wonderful executive work of Col. Goethals becomes more conspicuous In the eyes of the country and o_ the world, It seems to me wise and proper to make provision by law for such reward to him as may be commensurate with the service that he has rendered to his country. I suggest that this reward take the form of an appointment of Col. Ooethals as a major general in the army of the United States, and that the law authorizing such appointment be accompanied with a provision permitting his designation as chief of engineers upon the retirement of the present incumbent of that offlen. Navy Department. Tho navy of the United States? is in a greater state of efficiency and is more powerful than it has been before, but In the emulation which exists b e t w e e n different countries In respect to the increase of naval and military a r m a m e n t s this condition Is not a permanent one, In view of the many improvements and Increases by foreign g o v e r n m e n t s the slightest halt on our part in respect to n e w construction t h r o w s us back and reduces us from a naval power of the first rank and places us a m o n g the nations of the ^ second rank, A year a g o c o n g r e s s refused to appropriate for more than one battleship.

We have no desire for war. We go as far as any nation in t h e world to avoid war, but w e are a world power. Our population, our w e a l t h , our definite policies, our responsibilities in the Pacific and the Atlantic, our defense of the P a n a m a canal, together with our enormous world trade and our missionary outposts on the frontiers of civilization, require us to recognize our position as one of the foremost in the family of nations, and to clothe' o u r s e l v e s with sufficient naval power to g i v e force to our reas o n a b l e demands, and to g i v e w e i g h t to our Influence In those directions of progress that a powerful Christian nation shotfld advocate.

WILLIAM H. TAFT. I W i t TALK PEACE IN KING'S PAtACE BALKAN PEACE CONFERENCE TO BEGIN FRIDAY, T H E THIRT E E N T H , IN ST. JAMES PALACE, LONDON. W I L L BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS IN DEFIANCE OF A L L SUPERSTITIONS. The Outlook for Lasting Peace Throughout Europe Is Considered Promising. The Balkan war situation is practically unchanged. There is no confirmation of the Constantinople dispatches that Greece has affixed a belated signature to the Baghtche protocol for an armistice. As far as can be learned, Greece still refused to join the truce agreement. The other Balkan states and Turkey are continuing their preparations for the peace conference which, in apparent defiance of all superstition, will begin in London on Friday, Dec. 13. Athens dispatches give assurance that Greece will participate in the negotiations^ With peace of some kind, no matter how costly, assured by the protocol, it is agreed that Turkey__has turned her _atten.tiQ.n_ _to a p o l i c y o f diplomacy that will sow the seeds of dissention among the Balkan allies, in order that Turkey might conclude as favorable a bargain as possible. Diplomatists and war experts credit to Turkish mendacity all of the little disquieting rumors from eastern Europe, reports for which no foundation in fact can be discovered. The report that the Greeks had signed a separate and more advantageous armistice with Turkey; that Roumania would insist on representation in the London conference, and a part in the division in the spoils; that the Greeks would hold aloof from the negotiations; that Servia would persist in her defiance of Austria- Hungary, and various other rumors of the same kind were attributed the porte's crafty efforts to stir up trouble. With all of the Balkan belligerents appointing their peace plenipotentiaries and all of the six powers accepting the proposal for the ambassadorial conference, the outlook for lasting peace throughout Europe Is considered promising. 500 Die of Cholera. Cholera is causing great havoc in the native quarters of the Turkish capital. It is officially admitted that over 1,000 cases have occurred during the paBt 20 days and that half of them have been fatal. ThiB total, however, is believed to be much below Ihe real figures. The prefect In a proclamation Issued refers to the great proportions of the epidemic and warns the public that failure on their part to notify cases of cholera to the authorities will be punished by fine and imprisonment.

STATE NEWS IN BRIEF. More than 200 laborers on the Kalamazoo city pay rolls will receive a turkey for their Christmas dinner from the city. Warren Shepard, of Belding, Mich., will get $1,200 in a lump from Uncle Sam as back pension. He will also receive $12 a month. Nearly 1,000 children will be presented with shoes at Chirstmas through the beneficence of the Grand Rapids lodge of Elks. The order will j spend $1,000. West Side Business association of Saginaw adopted a resolution urging the state legislature to take action to insure Michigan being represented at the Pan-American exposition in San FranclBco in 1915. The Michigan crop report just issued shows that the condition of wheat is good. The condition as compared with an average per cent is 90 in the southern counties; 88 in the central counties and 97 in the upper peninsula. Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Buschke, of Saginaw, are the parents of twin daughters, who will celebrate their birthdays on different dates. One daughter was born shortly before midnight Friday and the other early Saturday morning.

Cl«de makes an excuse to call on Murflhy^and Is repulsed He pretends to be Investigating alleged CHAPTER V—(Continued). At last I saw him half-way amenable to reason. Now that he was out of the shadow, I saw too, more clearly, what manner of man he was. His ru- ••':y*,: u v 't through t h e - g l o o m , w a s abnormally large, yet not out of proportion with MB herculean torso. His red hair, frowsy, unkempt, was of such abundance, that, in the dark, its outline had given me a grotesquely magnified impression. His red beard, too, was thick, long, and untrimmed. What little, of his face showed, was sunburned to what, in the dim light, seemed the color of ripe russet apples. Hia eyes were nearly indiscernible, deep set, under bushy red brows. "If you had shown the least bit of humanity to brother men in distress," I responded. In a half jocular vein, "I'd probably never thought of this being your place, and you being you; and the Incident of the morning might have been forgotten." I thought I heard his teeth grit together in his effort to suppress a rising rage. I certainly saw his hands clench; and then, with an assumption of Indifference, ho took a final puff at his cigar and tossed it, sparkling, among the weeds of his lawn. It was evident to me, now, that in spite of the nonchalance he affected, my reference to the Chinaman's poaching, and his presence at Cragholt, had aroused his Interest, and so hoping to draw him out, I continued: "Your man told the lodge-keeper that you sent him over to borrow a rifle." "You don't mean to, tell me you'd believe a Chinaman, do you?" he returned. **It wasn't for me to believe or disbelieve. The lodge-keeper believed him." "And so he borrowed a rifle, and then with one of Cameron's own Instruments of destruction proceeded to destroy Cameron's game? Is that It? What did he shoot? A deer or one of those starved-looking white dogs that Cameron has following him about?" Apparently Murphy knew much more of my. friend than my friend knew of Murphy. "Neither, I fancy. In fact, I'm no/ sure just what he did shoot in the way of game. But he seems to have Indulged in a hit of target practice. He found a piece of an old portrait, tacked it to a tree, and shot holes in i t Rather silly, eh? Foolish for him to chance getting into trouble for child's play of that tort" "How do you know that?" he growled, with an Inadvertent dropping of hia mask. There was no mistaking, now, that I had made captive his attention. "I taw the target," I answered, •Imply. "That's like saying, 1 caught a twelve-pound bass. Here's the hook and line to prove i t ' " "X have a scale of the bass." -A what?" "Something your Chinaman dropped besjde the tree." Phlegmatic though he was, something very like a start followed upon my words. Then, as if to cover the movement, he shrugged his shoulders, and chuckled ponderously. - H i t viflUhg card, I suppose." "Nearly as good," I supplied, "the bowl of his opium pipe." At that moment Jerry cam* %round the oerner of the house and stopped abruptly, stupefied by suiferise; for the open mouth of the giant issued a rosr of hats laughter, reverberated in weird discordthrough the night silences, on bally idiot!" he cried, his gufeoded. "I suppose no persons ex* t Chinamen smoke opium, eh! that betas so, BO Chinaman but my sChinaman could have made a tar* gert of a piece of an old portrait and dropped hit pipe bowl at the foot of a-tnset Go on with you, you make m r tick!" And then, seeing Jerry, who had quickly Joined ma: "Didn't ffiMHttsi eh?

For the time being my consideration of Cameron and his strange problem was suspended. Now and then the subject recurred to me, dragged into the mental light on the train of Evelyn Grayson; but almost immediately it was buried beneath a question of editorial policy or a debate regarding a contract for white paper at an extortionate increase in price. When, however, my business day was ended, and I had boarded the train for Greenwich, the whole involved enigma spread itself again 4>efor* m«r demanding attention. And in the midst of it, dominating it, stretching his great Bhadow over it to the farthest limit, appeared that frowsy red giant. Murphy, a mystery within a mystery; for, though he seemed to pervade it, there was no head, as I had already discerned it p o j n t ~ a t ' w h i c h ' l " c o u W ^dScover "him quite touching it. - In vain I tried to detect a real qonnection. I started with the letters. They bore no single characteristic mark of this uncouth creature. As an artist he might have devised the curious silhouette signature, but there was something about that—some cunning, inventive subtlety—which I could not reconcile with the ogre I had played upon, stung to anger and aroused to curiosity. That he could either have conceived or executed the ruin of the portrait I did not believe possible. The conception, like the letters and the signature, bore evidence of a craftiness too fine for such as he; and to fancy him, mammoth that he was, stealing unobserved into Cameron's stury, was to fancy the Incredible. And so, though the impression of intimate relationship "persisted, I could find no point of cpntact, closer or more definite than through his servant's rifle practice, which after all might have been quite without motive, There was little, therefore, in the line of reason, to convict Murphy of any knowledge of the matters which had so disturbed us. And yet, as I have said, I felt intuitively that he possessed an Intimate acquaintance with the whore affair. At the Greenwich station, \ found my touring car waiting; my mother in the tonneau. My chauffeur touched his cap as I approached. " "You may drive, Francois," I said, and I took the place at my mother's side. "You look tired, Philip," she announced when I had kiBsed her. "Was it very warm in the city?" Her eyes were ever quick to note infinitesimal changes in my appearance of wellbeing. "Not uncomfortable," I answered, indulgently. "I had a very busy day, though. But I'm not the less fit because of it." "We have had some little excitement here," she hastened, eager to give me the news. "* "Old Romney called you up on the telephone about noon. I happened to answer it, myself, and when I told him you were In New York, and would not be back until six, it just seemed he couldn't wait to unburden himself. 'Won't you please tell him, Mrs. Clyde,' he said, 'that Mr. Murphy's Chinaman was found at daybreak this morning, lying dead, just outside Murphy's back door?'" "Found dead'." I cried, in amasement. "That is what he said. Then he added that the poor fellow's head bad been crushed with some heavy Instrument, and that Mr. Murphy had been arrested on suspicion and was In the Cos Cob lockup." For a full minute, I think, I sat in silent amase. Then theories and con* jectures In infinite variety gave chase, one after the other, through my excited brain. But it was more than ever difficult, I found, to reach anything like a satisfactory conclusion concerning th"e position the now lifeless Celestial and his accused mas* ter held in the chain of mysteries I wished so much to solve. That they were both of them more or less Important Huks, however, I had small doubt. "Did you know Mr. Murphy?" my mother asked. And all at once I realised that her question was a repetition. In my absorption I bad not heeded the original inquiry. "Nobody knows him," 1 answered, unconsciously echoing the words voiced by the man in the catboat on the previous night. . "Nobody knows him. But I've met him in a rather casual way." CHAPTER V I . Nell Gwyrms's Mirror. With the approach of the twentyfirst of the month, which Is to say the seventh day following Camamf a tbm aa*f sat tdace for jam ta buy gas-1 receipt of the second letter, I ob- •3 otana, «aa mm esr f apeot at my oflfcevf fmNaw^TwtVbtjay wttk the hundred 4*a*» lb* m to tft* maklaf of a served in him a growing nervous rest- H statu, which with praiseworthy effort la waa •fricjaauy striving to ova* Of as? natt to the rad giant and the tragedy which followed it, he was, of course, informed; as he had been of the incident in the wood, Including the finding of the bullet pierced piece of canvas. Everything, save only that Evelyn was the discoverer of the portrait remnant— which I thought best under the circumstances to keep secret—was told to him in detail, and with all the circumstantiality necessary to an intelligent discussion of even the minutest point. My description of Murphy elicited from him a recollection. He remembered having seen the man once. It was on the Fourth of July. Evelyn and Mrs. Lancaster, Cameron's house- [ keeper, had- accompanied. Gamej-on ip what is called "The Port of Missing Men," a resort for motorists, on the summit of Titlcus mountain. They had lunched there and were returning by a route which took them over a succession of execrable roads, but through some of the most glorious seenery in the whole state of- Connecticut. For a while they had been following a stream, willow-girt, that went babbling down over a rocky bed which at Intervals broke the waters into a series of falls and cascades. At the foot of one of these they had stopped the car and alighted for a better view, and so had come upon the unexpected. Seated upon a great bowlder, his easel planted between the stones of the stream's shallows, was a redheaded, red-bearded Colossus, In a soiled suit of khaki and a monstrous straw hat such as is worn by harvesting farmers. Cameron told me that all three of them made bold to peep over the painter's shoulder at his work, and then, though it was of the most mediocre quality, to shower him with laudatory and congratulatory phrases. "I can fancy how he thanked you," I broke in, smiling. "I suppose he said something very rude." "He said nothing at all. He simply stopped painting, and turning, fixed his eyes upon me. It was as If he saw no other one of us. He seemed to be making a careful appraisement of my every feature. After a moment It grew embarrassing, and though I did not resent it—feeling rather that we, ourselves-had been In the wrong—I very speedily withdrew. To my surprise he rose from his stone seat; and, palette and brush In hand, followed us up the little acclivity to the road, watching in silence,>until we got back Into our Car, and wheeled away." "&)id you gather from his inspection that he recognized you, or thought he recognized you?" I asked. "I gathered only that he meant to be insufferably rude," was Cameron's answer. "And you have never seen him since?" "Never." "He has evidently seen you. He spoke of, the Russian wolf-hounds that go about with you." Cameron made no response. "Well," I added, In a tone meant to be reassuring, "I think we need have little fear of a continuance of this singular method of annoyance. Though we can't trace It directly to Murphy and hia unfortunate. Mongolian, I thoroughly believe that one or (he other was responsible, With the Chinaman dead and Murphy in jail, the persecution will cease, The threat contained in the second letter will never be executed. See if I'm not right!" My hope of putting Cameron at ease, however, was not rewarded. He continued to exhibit tigna of an almost constant apprehension. There was, indeed, a sympathy-stirring pathos about the nervous disquiet of this man, usually so impenetrably self-contained. And at moments, in spite of me, a suspicion gripped and held that he had not been entirely frank; that somewhere in hia past (here was something unrevealed which might serve as a clue, if not an explanation, to the present But these doubts of him were always transitory. • The twenty-first of September fell that year on Monday.' My office demanded my presence, but I arranged affairs as well as possible by telephone and devoted the entire day to Cameron. When I told him 1 meant to do' this he protested, pretending that he was quite without foreboding; while the unconscious tapping of his foot on the rug, even as he spoke, belted his words. We spent the better part of the day golfing over the Apawamla links at Rye, lunching at the club house between rounds, for as a specific for nerves I have ever found that game of rare benefit. In the present in a&ance it more than fulfilled my expectations. Camerom apparently at least, forgot everything save bis o> •Ira to out-drive, out-approach, and out-put me. And when it was over, and with - sharpened appetites wa drove back to Cragbolt for dinner, he appeared stimulated by a new-found The day bad pasted without untoward event, and I felt sure that my 'riend was gradually coming around >o my way of thinking. Neither of us mentioned the subject, but it must have recurred to him, at intervals, as it did to me. And as the hours went by without a sign, the conviction grew that Murphy, with hands tied, was fretting over the coup he'was deterred from compassing. Mrs. Lancaster, whom I have mentioned merely as Cameron's housekeeper, but who was, in addition, a distant kinswoman and acted as a sort of duenna to Evelyn, dined with us that evening, and our little partie carree seemed to me morq than usually merry, owing doubtless to the relaxation .of tho__ strain which both Cameron and I had been under for the past week. It gratified me to see my host so unfeignedly cheerful. I remember how he laughed over Mrs. Lancaster's recital of an incident of the morning. "I had no idea," she said, "that Andrew," referring torthe kennel maBter, "was married. He astonished me when he told me he had a wife and three children. And when I told him he did not look like a married man he seemed rather pleased than otherwise." "It is odd," Cameron returned, "but It seems always to flatter a husband 'o tell him he doesn't look it." And then he laughed as though he had no care on earth. After dinner we had the usual music, and Evelyn sang again that lyric of Baudelaire's, this time in the original French. But the melody brought back to me in vivid vision our chance meeting In the woods and all its train of circumstances. When I had finished applauding, Cameron turned to me. "Do you like Baudelaire?" "I like bis art," I answered, "and his frank artificiality." "He appeals to me," Cameron confessed, "decadent though he is. I have 'read everything he ever wrote, I hink, prose and verse. Did you ever see my copy of his 'Fleurs du Mai'? The casket is worthy of its contents. It is the most exquisitely bound little volume I ever saw. Come, I'll show It to you." I excused myself to Mrs. Lancaster, | an'd~wlth pretended formality bent over Evelyn's hand, brushing it with my lips. "Won't you be back?" she whispered. "I hope so," was my answer. "But I can't promise." "Gh, what a trial it is to have a selfish uncle!" she murmured as I went. Cameron led me through the library, across, the hall, and thence Into his study, where he dove Into a miniature book rack reserved for his favorites. After a moment of fruitless search he said: "It isn't here. How stupid! I took It ifpstairs a week ago, I remember It is in my dressing room. Do you mind coming up?" Did I mind coming up? How glad I was to see him Interested! He was more like the old Cameron than he had been at any lime in the past seven days. My golf prescription had proved even more efficacious than I had dared hope. At the risk of being tedious I must describe Cameron's dressing room. It was not large—probably 20 feet square—with three doors; one on each of the three sides. That which admitted from the passageway faced that which opened into the bath room On the left, the third door connected with Cameron's bedchamber. On the right were two windows, giving upon an outside balcony. Between them was a fire-place. To the left of the bath room door w»s the entrance to a huge closet, guarded by a heavy curtain of old rose velvet. To the right, was a stationary wasb-stand, and above it a rectangular mirror, probably ten Inches wide and a foot leng, and very curiously framed. Across from this, against the wall which divided the room from the passage, was an enormous chiffonier, or chest of drawers. In the room's center was a round table, on which rested a reading lamp. Between the table and the fire-place was a reclining chair. Oth* er chairs, three or four, were variously placed. 1 have given these facts because they are necessary to an Intelligent understanding of what I am about to relate. That tn furnishing and adornment the room was plainly utilitarian Is not so material. But there is one exception to this general declaration which demands to "he specified. The mirror above the wash-stand possessed a distinction quite aside from its practical utility. This was by no means tho first time I had seen It. Cameron had showed It to me, with a. degree of pride, early In our acquaintance, explaining that It was at once a relic and an heirloom. Originally the property of Nell Gwynne, It bad descended to him through The glass was framed in colored beadwork, to which were attached wax figures in highsrellef: at the top, a miniature portrait of Charles n. in his state robes; at the bottom, one of Nell herself, in court dress. The king appeared also on the right, in hunting costume, and on the left was snother figure of his favorite in less ornamental garb. According to tho legend which accompanied this In- •.eresting antique, it was Nell Gwynne's own handiwork. It possessed for me a certain fascinatlon due more to its history than its beauty, for it was not the most artistic of creations, and as Cameron poked about for his Baudelaire. I stood gazing at the glass and thitfk- Ing of all I had ever read of the illiterate, but saucy, sprightly actress whose sole claim to fame hung on her winning the favor of that easy-going, royal hypocrite, Charles II. "Here's the binding!" I heard Cameron Bay, and -turned- from the mirror to the table, where he had found his sought-for treasure beneath a pile of heavier, grosser works. "You know something of bookbinding," he went on, with enthusiasm. "Now examine \hat carefully, and tell me if you ever saw anything more exquisite. I had It done in London, last year. It's a copy of one of Le Gascon's." At first sight it seemed all glittering gold, but on closer inspection I found that the groundwork was bright red morocco, inlaid with buff, olive, and marble leather, the spaces closely filled with very delicate and beautiful polntille traceries,' It was a veritable gem in its way, and I could not blame Cameron for his raptures. When I had applauded and bepraised to his content, he took the little volume from my hand and opening it, with a sort of slow reverence, observed with something like patronism: "I'm afraid you don't quite understand Baudelaire." "Does anybody?" I flung back. "He is not so obBcure as his critics would have us believe," Cameron asserted. "Sit down in that lounging chair a moment, and I'll read you something." And as 1 obeyed, he drew up a chair for himself, speaking all the while in denunciation of Tolstoi and the injustice of his criticism. One poem after another he read, while I lay back listening. To his credit he read them well, though be paused often in mid-verse to explain what he thought I might regard as an affectation or, as Tolstoi has put it, "an Intentional obscurity." There was one verse which Impressed me particularly as he read it, and remained with me for a long while afterward, for, in view of everything, It seemed to have a special apposltiV€ ne88. The lines to which I refer have been translated in this way: From Heaven's htj?h balconies See! In their threadbare robca the dead yenrs cast their eyes, And from the depths below regret's wan smile uppcara. Cameron sat with his back to the door leading to the passageway, and facing, diagonally, across the table, the Nell Gwynne mirror.. My own gaze was on him as he read. .As he finished thja verse, a portion of which I have quoted, he lifted his eyes, I thought to meet mine, but his look rose over my head, and clung, while his lids widened, and Into every line of his face there came a rigid, startled expression, half amazement, half horror And In that instant af tense silence the "Fleurs du Mai" •lipped from his nerveless fingers, struck the table edge, and dropped with unseemly echo to the floor. In a breath I was on my feet and staring where his vision had foc'ussed. ! hardly know what I expected to sea. I am sure nothing would have surprised me. And yet I was scarcely prepared for the, Inexplicable ruin which my sight encountered. The glass of the Nell Gwynne mirror was In atoms. Cameron rose, a little unsteadily I thought, and coming around the table, joined me In closer Inspection of bis wrecked hereditament. I can find no word adequate to the description of what we experienced. Amazement and all its synonyms are far too feeble for the task. We were certain* ly more than appalled. What we saw suggested to me spontaneous disintegration. If such a thing were possible, which 1 believe it is not. It might have explained the condition of the mirror. No other ascription seemed admissible; for, though the glass remained In its frame not so much as a splinter having been dropped, it was fractured into a thousand tiny pieces, resembling a crystal mosaic, Incapable of any bat the most minute reflections.

Even Where Nature Has Denied «3eauty Much May Be Accomplished by the Persistent Use of the Proper Lotions. FOR SUM FIGURES A pretty hand, well kept, with nails rilliantly polished and trimmed, is a ter ornurneut to a woman than most priceless jewel. Even a comnplace hand can be made attractive ing by careful treatment. There- ^ibre>4,he girl to whom Nature has dekiied taper fingers and an altogether •model hand can take heart of grace, 4auttd so improve on the commonplace Chat her hands and nails may excite admiration and envy. I ff the akin of the hands is rough, it c a n soon be softened by the applicat i o n of well-chosen creams or lotions and, the use of soft water _for_ablu-. jttonal purposes, care being taken to tslry the hands thoroughly every time a l t e r washing. Neglecting to do this i s the cause of many a rough-looking stand, and encourages chilblains. The first thing to do in treating the hands l a to get the skin soft and the fingers pliable. Hands that are inclined to be red And rough are often benefited by bei n g washed in oatmeal water. Take a o m e good oatmeal and boil it in waiter for an hour, strain it, and use the liquid to waBh with night and mornfeng. This wash must bo made fresh •«prery day, If toilet borax Is added to rae oatmeal, the whitening effect of <ho lotion will be enhanced. To keep >tbe hands white, some women sleep I n gloveB smeared inside with melted tallow. Five or ten minutes given to the fcoilet of the nails every day and an o x t r a 20 minutes every week will keep t h e m In good order. To keep the finger nails clean the nail-brush and soap and warm water ahould be used dally, and every time fits hands are washed the free edge of 'the scarf-skin, which, If not attended • o , 1« apt t o grow upward over the Saaile, should be gently loosened and pressed back In a "neatly rounded form, by which the occurrence of « r a e k i , hang-nails, etc., about the r o o t s _of_ t h e - n a i l s w i l l be prevented, a n d a graceful oval form and the disp l a y of a crescent-like space of white will be ensured. This scarf-skin as m, rule should never be cut, and should o n no account be torn or picked off, « a Is commonly done. The less It is meddled with, other than in the way recommended, the better. Very often finger nails are disfigured f*y dark coffee-colored rims that He tietween the nail and the flesh surrounding it. This rim should be rem o v e d at once with a strong cleansing 'fluid, for it mars tho beauty of the nana. GREAT AUK'S EGG? Maybe, but Nevertheless, It Arrived at the Breakfast Table in a Scramble. Aceordlon-Plalted Negligee. Among the costume conceits of the •season are to be noted the accordionplaited negligee, which are made of cbiffon net, both plain and embroidered, and liberty silk and satin. These garments are designed in a g r e a t variety of styles, but there is n o n e more fetching for the woman of slender figure and some height than t h e Empire gown of plaited chiffon w i t h an elaborate coat of lace and TWO OF THE LATE DESIGNS Smartneao of the Belted Tailor-Made. For the slim-figured and fairly tall woman the belted coat is certainly one of the smartest and most becoming aspects of the tailor-made costume. So if you can be numbered among these fortunate folks you can quite safely have your new costume made in the style you so much admire, the sketch here providing all the necessary guidance as to detail. A slight opening of the skirt, too, at the loft side, Is not only permissible, but also piquant, always presuming that your footwear be of immaculate shaping and smartness. chiffon and satin to go over it. The coat for a pale pink gown of this sort is more than half of yellow lace. It is a very much cutaway garment, with a frou frou of lace cascades in front and a long tailed back that Is all lace and shirring and frills also. The sleeves are draped lace flounces and there is a wide girdle of pink satin ribbon, which has a huge satin buckle in tho back. J By MARGARET MANNING. Professor Ferdinand Brinckhofen wandered into the kitchen of his summer bungalow, on the Maine shore. His wife was washing the dinner dishes. "Ellen, my dear," he said, "Doctor Cavendish, of the Natural History museum, will be here this afternoon. Can you get up a meal for him? He has to start back tomorrow morning." "I suppose so, Ferdinand," answered his wife, a little tartly. "You know, of course, that we haven't much in tho house to offer a guest. However, I'll do my best, and if he will be satisfied with it he's welcome. Why is he coming all this distance just to spend the night with us?" Professor Urinckhofen put his arm round his wife's waist and kissed her. "I know Vou're busy, Ellen," he said. "Next summer we'll get a maid." And he wandered out, while his wife went on washing. She dried the last plate and set it aside. "I wonder just why Doctor Cavendish is coming here for one night," she said to herself. Professor Urinckhofen engaged a rowboat and pulled round to the railroad terminal, where he arrived just In time to greet Doctor Cavendish as his visitor stepped out of his car. "Well, what did yuu think-of my letter?" he asked, after the customary greetings had been interchanged. Doctor Cavendish took his friend by the arm. "My dear old enthusiast," ho answered, "to be frank with you, the subject until the men oamo in. Then she welcomed Doctor Caveu&sh with smiles. "Gome, Cavendishr;J wapt to .ahpw you my laboratory,'"euld Briiickfcdjfcn, dragging his friend away as soon as he decently could. They wont into tho professor's little bare room and began discussing the great discovery. "Of course it goes to the museum, Brinckhofen," said Cavendish. "It will be worth a thousand dollars to you." "A thousand dollars!" exclaimed the professor, "You are joking, Cavendish. Why, the egg alouo would bring that at auction." "Yes, yes, I'm speaking about the egg," said Doctor Cavendish irritably. "What are you Bpeaking about?" "Why, the auk, of coarse. Don't you know that I put it there so that it would hatch? Why, we'll have a real live bird, Cavendish. I shall sell it to the Zoological Bociety, and I'll patch up the egg after it has hatched out, and I'll let you have that for a thousand. And the bird will lay more eggs, and I'll get a thousand apiece for those too, and—" "I say," interposed Cavendish, "remember it isn't hatched yet. If I were you I 'would tell Mrs. Brlnckhol'en about it." "Tell Mrs. Brinckhofen! Why, she'd tell the neighbors and they'd steal it or do something to it! Never trust a woman. No, it is safest just where it is." They argued with some lack of equanimity until dinner time, when Mrs. Brinckhofen ejected them into the dining room. "Hum! I'm hungry as a bear," said Doctor Cavendish, pulling his* napkin across knees. "What have we here? Scrambled eggs? Fine!" "I don't know whether you like scrambled goose eggs," Baid Mrs. Brinckhofen. "They say they're very nice. I found one under our biddy—It must have been laid by one of Mr. Giles's geese, for it wasn't there last time I looked. So I thought that aa we hadn't many eggs I'd try what it tasted like." "Woman!" gasped the professor, springing to his feet, "do you mean to say you—you scrambled that egg?" "Yes, % dear," said Mrs. Brinckhofen sweetly. (Copyright, 1912, by W. G. Chapman.) HOT BREAKFAST MEANS MUCH Success or Failure of the Day Depends to a Large Extent on First Meal. Ostrich Plumes. Ostrich plumes, like lace, are never allowed to remain in the background for any length of time, and an early return to favor is predicted for them as the season advances. The smaller hat shapes of satin and plush are so chic in form and fabric that they really require but little trimming of any kind. The "Berets" of velvet are very becoming, and real Tam-o'-Shanter shapes In the same fabric denote a tendency to return to the styles ol • 1885. The corsage opens over a plastron like the tablier and the collar and girdle are of garnet velvet, The sleeves j are draped at the bottom over cuffs i of the white satin and are ornamented with motifs of passementerie, which i also ornament the corsage and skirt. | The next model is also of taupe velvet. The skirt Is slightly gathered at the top and cut out at one side of the front over a panel of taffeta to j match. The edges of the velvet are caught together with knots of the taffeta passed through large rings of silk; , the ends of the knots are finished with aiguillettes. T h e upper part of the corsage and the sleeves are of the taffeta ornamented with buttons and buttonholes; the lower part, or corslet, is of the velvet trimmer like the skirt. The collar is of green velvet, the chemisette ia of white tulle. 4 K » njixM afrthe lefi U of taupe vel- *ftfc »Tb*4*irt U slightly gathered « q p f c l t M a d draped In the back; the t v t t t e r % of WjMt* aeeordkm plaited anffa ornamented WKh told buttons *M*^ tatfcpfcols* a** ftnlahed with a aaaiaaa of f a a a % l ^ a w t i n e « • «>l*> ^paaaaa^araa* ggEi mipifTi I t " . . v ~ - Old Raincoats.

If you had told me that you had discovered a buried Indian village or a dozen asterfllds I would have accepted your word without question. But a great auk's egg—no, ray friend. You have probably mistaken the egg of a crested grebe or tufted puffin for that of the auk." "But the great auk did range as far south as Maine in the last century!" cried the professor. "And the last specimen was shot in 1844." "No, Cavendish, in 1912. I tell you it was an auk. I shot the brooding bird, but it fell into the water and drifted out to sea before I could get a boat. But tho egg—it was an auk's egg, and it was warm. I took it home and I'm Incubating i t " "What does Mrs. Brinckhofen think of it?" "She doesn't know anything about it, of course. I don't believo in telling my wife a professional secret. And the joke of it Is"—he nudged Cavendish in the ribs—"It's incubating with a clutch of eggs that she set out last week under one of our hens. It couldn't be safer anywhere." "Show me!" said Cavendish sceptically, and they entered the rowboat and, a few minutes later, rounded tho point of land behind which the Brlnckhofens had their bungalow. "There was where I shot her," said the professor, pointing to tho high, towering cliff. "I didn't mean to, either, but I was so excited that I couldn't bear to think of her getting away. Now, before we do anything else we'll go straight to the clutch." They climbed the hill and entered the little garden of the bungalow. In one corner was the hen house, and, in the center, seated upon a clutch of eggs surrounded with straw, was a gray hen, which looked at them with malignant eyes and half opened her beak as though to protect her treasure. "Shoot" said Profesor Brinckhofen, and the hen slowly rose and retired a few paces, where It crouched with flapping wings and an irate expression. Professor Brinckhofen plunged his hand into the clutch and drew out the precious egg. It was a little larger than that of a goose. "Good heavens, Brinckhofen, it lit It is!" yelled Doctor Cavendish, and, carefully replacing It, he seised his friend round the w a i s t and the two graybeards executed a dance. Mrs. Brinckhofen watched them out of the kitchen window. "I suppose that is Doctor Cavendish," she said pityingly. "I wonder why they a n dancing In the henhouse.'* She t a t down and meditated upon When a singularly successful business man was asked the secret of getting on in the world, he modestly said his wife deserved most of the credit, as she always had a good breakfast ready for him every day In the year, served punctually and piping hot. He further said that poor food, especially ii\ the morning, was responsible for njauy business failures, for the man who sets out on a cold morning with jcoiil, indifferent food in his stomach is ill-prepared for the business battle. •,t takes time and planning, but it pays «» serve good breakfasts. It means .getting up early enough to Insure against rushing about and fretting when things go wrong, but the wise woman counts It no sacrifice to send her husband off cheery and well fed. There are plenty of ways in which a woman without help may manage, and even if she keeps a maid she will find plenty to oversee and correct day after day. The women who riBe early to get breakfast for their husbands unite in saying there are possibilities in the early morning hours realized later in the day. When other women are sleepily getting up, the thrifty housekeepers have their morning work done and aro ready to get the children off to school. There would be fewer failures In school work if all children were sent to the school room well fed in the morning. If they were aroused in time to dress leisurely and eat a hearty breakfast there would be fewer cases of nervous prostration among teachers. A cup of hot cocoa, a poached egg, good toast and well-cooked cerceal served to the entire family in the morning and eaten in a leisurely manner would rob hospitals of many patients and give doctors and surgeons extra vacations every year. Theories About Rainfall. While we in this country have been suffering for some years from a lack of rain, Bome parts of Europe appear, according to statistics, to be getting more rain every year. Observations at the Observatory of Paris show that from 1804 to 1824 the average yearly rainfall was 502 millimeters (an inch is about 25 millimeters). In the next twenty years the average was 507; then from 1845 to 1872 there was an increase to £25; in the next twenty years it was 553, and in the last nineteen years the average has grown to 584 millimeters—about 23½ inches. The commonest theory to account for this is that the smoke and dust rising from a large city favor the condensation of moisture. But this theory runs counter to the experience of London, the smokiest city of Europe, where no such increased rainfall is recorded. And in some of the mountainous regions of France the increase has been as much as 73 per c e n t , as compared with thirty years ago. DISSOLVE BUTTER TRUST Sleeping Changes o l Conspiracy to. Fix Prices Is Cfcarftsd. The Elgin board of trade, popularly known as the "Butter Trust," and the American Association of Creamery Butter Manufacturers was attacked by the federal government In a civil anti-trust suit filed in Chicago, for the dissolution of both concerns. Sweeping charges of a conspiracy to fix arbitrarily the price of butter in the interest of big manufacturers and cold storage concerns and to the detriment of the farmer, other small producers and the consuming public, are made by Attorney General Wickersham. Butter-making has drifted to the large manufacturers, the natural Increase in volume of business has been curtailed and prices to the people have been enhanced, especially during the winter season, by the operations of the "conspirators," according to the government's petition in equity.

Whence does it come? It is a c u r i o u s fact that niost of the o 1 d chroniclers have thrown a veil of mystery a r o u n d t h e Christmas tree and make no attempt to explain its origin. It h a s been ^ stated that t h e tree came to us f r o m E g y p t •a This legend is well propagated in old Irish and Welsh fairy tales. The Idea is that in ancient Egypt they used a slip of the palm tree with twelve shoots on it at certain winter festivities. The tree symbollzed the year with its twelve months. Consequently, any one who is equal to the effort may believe that the modern Christmas tree represents that twelve-shooted slip of palm. Minds of less stalwart credulity may prefer to trace t h e Christmas tree back to Germany only, where they had Christmas trees long before they were ever hearri of In this country of England or France, The Christmas tree was not introduced into England from Germany until after the marriage of Queen Victoria to her German consort, Prince Albert. But wiiere did the Germans get the ChriBtmas tree Idea from? S. J. Adair Pitz Gerald, writing in T. P.'s Weekly, offers an explanation of this by saying that far away back in the ages you find Teutons believing in a mystic ash tree, Yggdrasil, which, with its roots and branches, united the world of the living and the world of the dead. "At the foot of Yggdrasil sit the three Norns, who determine the' destinies of men, and Yggdrasjl's branches bear gifts for men to take." Is that our Christmas tree? Anyhow, the id'ja that Prince Albert introduced it into Great Britain is very prevalent. One of the prettiest and most eagerly looked for events of the Christmastide— that of t h e setting up of the Christmas tree—is associated with the late Empress Frederick of Germany. Queen Victoria, after the birth of the princesB royal, had Christmas celebrated at Windsor in 1840, and "on that occasion Prince Albert introduced the pretty German custom of decorating a Christmas tree. Since that period it has become a welcome custom for both rich and poor, and affords a graceful means of distributing little presents. It was probably first imported into Germany with the conquering legions of Drusus, and is alluded to by„ YirgiL i n the "'Georgics.1' It will be seen by this that the generally accepted notion is that Prince Albert was responsible for the British adoption of t h e pleasing tree and all that it means, symbolical and practical, to t h e youngsters. But on the threshold of this acceptation we are met with thiB statement from the "Grevllle Memoirs," under date Dec. 27, 1829, when Queen Victoria was yet but ten years old. *On Christmas day the Princess Lleven got up a little fete, such as is customary all over Germany. Three trees in great pots were put on a long table covered with linen; each tree wa3 illuminated with three circular tiers of colored wax candles —blue, green, red and white. Before each was displayed a quantity of toys, gloves, handkerchiefs, workboxes, books and various articles, presents made to the owner of the tree." This princess was a Russian, and in her later days lived mostly in Paris. Then again Prof. Ditchfleld, in his "Old English Customs," says that the Christmas tree was first imported Into England by some German merchants who lived at Manchester in the first years of the nineteenth century. In 1900 a writer on folklore said: "Although we a r e accustomed to consider Germany the home of the Christmas tree, it has not been general there for more than a couple of centuries. Old people are still living whose parents never saw one in Germany. The decoration of houses . with olive leaves and .green branches, a s in England a t ChristmaB, is a far more ancient custom, and can he noticed In Bottlcelli'B picture of "The Adoration of the Shepherds," in the National Gallery In London. It is, a s Frita Ortwein observes, a distinct remnant of an ancient heathen custom, as a t the turn of the year during t h e twelve days of t h e Jul festival in Wnor of Woden, greenery could be fetched by all from,the woods without punishment, and every haHi was decorated with green leaves and branches. Again, in old works on English customs we find many references to the decorating of the Interior of the dwellings, as well a t the pious : adornment of the churches with greenery, and the Introduction of a fir tree a s symbolical of the palm. In the halls of the barons and the squires and in t h e gigantic kitchens of t h e farmers a fir tree ever held prominent place, but' whether ordinarily decorated or not Is not specifically recorded. Here we are in doubt In all probability the remaining fruits of the orchards of the year were hung upon the branches a s a propitiation to the gods of the fruUs, of the earth to. insure «ood harvests.

A-. • ">,> ^#^i>^4^f^^iy Christian customs adhered to by the Austrian- German peasant can be traced back to heathenish Germanen rites, some dispute the use of a tree at the Jul festivities; nevertheless, it is certain that in Sweden needle pines and firs were Bet up a t this time before the houses." Teutzel of Saxony, an antiquarian authority on these subjects, says: "The ancient heathen sat before their houses between two croHsed pine treeB and ate and drank at the turn of the year for nineteen days." The Christmas tree was introduced Into Austria Borne eighty years ago by a Duchess of Wurtemberg and spread throughout Germany. About 1840 it is supposed to have taken fresh root in England, and became highly popular. Both Thackeray and Dickens seized hold of the idea of happiness begot of Christmas—gatherings and the Christmas tree, and Charles Dickens in 1850 used "The Christmas Tree" as a title for one of his annual stories. Although Christmas was not celebrated in the first centuries of the Christian era, there are indications in the records of early Roman history of the setting up of a decorated tree at Christmas time and the presentation of gifts of fruit and toys. The Romans are supposed to have taken the idea from the early Egyptians. Centuries old, the customs of Christmas observance have taken myriad forms in the various countries of the world, In many cases they perpetuate some ancient custom which long antedates the advent of Christianity. Such are the customs which have grown up around the mistletoe, worshiped by the ancient Druids of Britain as a sacred and me gical plant. An old English writer, speaking of the Druids' celebration of the winter solstice, our Christmas, says: "This was the most respectable festival of our Druids, called Yuletide; when the mistletoe, which they called all-heal, was carried in their hands and laid on their altars as an emblem of the 8alutiferous advent of Messiah. This mistletoe they cut off the trees with their upright hatchets of brass, called celts, put upon ends of their . staffs, which they carried in their hands. Innumerable a r e these instruments found all over the British Isles. The custom is still preserved, and lately at York on the eve of Christmas day they carry mistletoe to the high altar of the cathedral, and proclaim a public and universal liberty, pardon and freedom to all sorts of Inferior and even wicked people, a t the gates of the city, towards their four quarters of heaven." The lore of the strange plant is prominently in evidence I n the Voluspa and other Scandinavian Sagas. It was with a mistletoe branch—or an arrow prepared therefrom—that t h e blind and heavy-headed deity Hoder aimer his deadly blow at Balder, the god of light or benevolent principle of northern mythology. The inspiration of the use of the mistletoe was, of course, due < to the opposing principle —of darkness or evil. The p l a n t which furnished the deadly d a r t grew on t h e slope of Asgard, and/ was the sole agent k n o w n t o gods or men— a m o n g poL sonous plants —which h a d not given definite promise to Fteya to prove harmless if used against the person of her son Balder, Thus Scandinavian mythical lore accounts for the death of the latter. And accordingly, a traditional idea of the poisonous properties of the mistletoe is found to persist In remote regions of the north and west of Europe, even to the present day. In Great Britain (In the Forest of Dean) it has been' used down to recent date as a popular remedy in the treatment of cardiac troubles. Like t h e strophantbus of African arrow poison fame/ ft proved a reliable substitute for digitalis. , Kissing under the mistletoe i s oil that now re- '}•' mains of a once horrible Druid rite. The ceremonies which t h e mistletoe figured in among the ancient Druids always accorded it a place of honor. The myths that clung around it in their wondering, puzzling minds were many more than the few that have come to us in these later years. But, old as they are, those hoary, heathen myths lack the true flavor of antiquity when it comes to measuring traditions by the centuries. Oh, we do not by any means owe our mistletoe to the Druids. We can go back so much further for the first adventures of the mistletoe that the Druids become merely modorn innovators. It waB one of the noblest of the trees iu Paradise, the lordly treo of good and evil; and on its twig hung the apple which Mother Eve plucked with such disastrous consequences. Alas for Mother Eve and Father Adam! And alas for us, their punished hfirs-at-law divine! But alas, toor for the wicked, handsome, tempting tree-of knowledge which put humanity in such graceless plight! Upon its lofty crown, its massive trunk, its delicious fruit, descended tho universal curse. It shriveled away from tho horrified rjarth; it dwindled to the meanest .sinallncss; it was cast out into the bitter cold; it became a parasite unci beggar, existing by the bounty of vulgar neighbors. Only in the pearly translucence of its shrunken fruit, the most trivial of berries, did it preserve some semblance of its once radiant splendor. And it has preserved some of its pristine virtues, too, in traditional Christian lore, as if it were still hedged about with a vestige of the glory that arrayed it in Paradise. Time was, and time is now, when epilepsy is one of the scourges of mankind; only now we look for its cure, a s we look for Its cause, in quite natural means and conditions. The notion that some poor devil with the falling sickness has been cursed from on high is held scarcely compatible, in popular science, with the principles of eternal justice or with cold observation of cause and effect. Hut in times that wero, in Wales, when an epileptic developed the Symptoms characteristic of the disorder, it was commonly believed that he was being scourged with the "rod of Christ," and that was the name by which the disease went^— althTragtir"lt had- another destgnatlrm as well—St. Valentino's sickness. The cure for it was believed to lie in the Hod of Jesse. The use of the mistletoe as the Rod of Jesse in epilepsy was general and, if faith can work wonders, perhaps the miracle of cure did sometimes attend its employment. Perhaps it didn't, If hard-headed science choose to take a shy at that gracious addition to the list of miracle-working agents. But whether it did or didn't the mistletoe's rare birth and fruition still carry with them the tenderest of Christian faiths, as they carry, too, the story of humanity's most farreaching disaster. It is one of the Christmas greens which has the warrant of religious associations dating back to the very beginnings of man's creation, even as It is accorded the sublime honor of typifying the ancestral origins.of the Redeemer of Man himself. Rut what about the mistletoe kiss? Hm! To tell the truth, if we want to be consistently Christian in our Christmas greens and the purposes to which they should be put, there isn't anything about it, at least of any records which such careful investigators as Alfred E. P. Raymond Dowjlng have dug up while studying the general subject. None will deny that the most consistent Christians have taken to the mistletoe kiss with abundant enthusiasm and a faith in its excellent results that has never been surpassed. But that doesn't make the mistletoe kiss any more Christian than it ever was. Isn't the excellent story of foolish Mother Eve and the original mistletoe apple enough for any reasonable Christmas decorator who wants to justify its employment? And if it isn't, haven't we the legend of the Rod of Jesse to make it distinctly one of the Christmas greens? As for the kisses that are supposed to go with it—well, if you Insist on knowing about them, you'll simply have to take the consequences, same as Eve did when she insisted on tasting of that confounded tree of knowledge. The mistletoe kiss seems not to be Christian a t all—Druidical, probably, and therefore heathenish, and therefore very, very wrong. So, all young men who encounter it, artfully 'suspended where a pair of ripe, red lips must pass, dn you piously refrain or, more piously, tear down the hoary old temptation and flee the accursed roof, as if it were the house of Arria Marcella and you were not Gautier's young Frenchman. And you, maidens, .give ' leave to no pagan rites; remember the fate of your poor Grandmother Eve and beware lest the fruit of the mistletoe, accursed tree of knowledge, prove now more bitter in the mouth than it did in Eden. But if you have Ivy, wreathe it generously, for the Fronch know It a s the herb of S t John, the disciple whom the Savior loved, the emblem of pure friendship, the vine that heeds not decay and death of its beloved, but clings ever more closely as the fall impends and bears up its falling ally against all adversity. Learned students of these legends have surmised, too, that It may be the herb of St. John the Baptist, who is usual- . ly pictured as the boy in bis earners-hair ooat, gazing at his ooasta, the infant Jesus.

Facts ••jtf A town which never has anything to do in a public way is on the road to the cemetery. Anyone who will do nothing for his town is helping to dig the grave. A man who curses the town furnishes the casket. The man so selfish as to have no time from his business to give to the city affairs is making tbe shroud. The man who does not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is pulling back from any pnblic enterprise throws boquets on the grave. The man who is howling hard times preaches the funeral sermon and sings the doxology; thus the town is buried from all sorrow and care. —Tradesman.

Thackeray's noted aphorism "there are nobs and there are snobs," continues to hold good in England, and those to whom the latter designation applies seem to find space for their activities in the newspapers. A London morning paper remarks: "It is Interesting to note that the queen will In future Join the guns for luncheon at the king's shooting parties." Commenting upon this a cynic in London Opinion says: "ThiB Is indeed most refreshing and should greatly stimulate the patriotic •wave in Australia and other distant parts. Queens are Independent people, and assert their right to take a glass of sherry and a biscuit in their hack sitting room if so disposed. 'To know that her majesty will positively pick the leg of a chicken in the society of her husband and friends is a great Joy, and has set me off upon my week's labors with a light heart." When Turkey Had Its "Season." The famous landlords of fifty and sixty years ago who ran the world's finest hotels from Maine to Oregon, men like Paran Stevens of the Revere house, Boston; Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, and the Continental at Philadelphia never served turkey before early October nor later than March 1. Until ten years ago only a few eastern hotels and restaurants served turkey between April and mid- September. Since then the large patronage of eastern hotels, restaurants and clubs by well-to-do western people has made the turkey and the oyster an every-day item on bills of fare prepared by landlords and stewards who used to say that neither turkeys nor oysters should he eaten In springtime, summer or early autumn. Spanish Mutton. Dog meat, we learn from the Frankfurter Zeltung, lsv largely sold In Germany, and more especially In Saiony, but rarely under Its own name. Traders describe It as Spanish mutton, and their customers are less chary of asking for it. Catfish in this country is treated In the same euphemistic way. There was a time when thiB fish was never seen in the shops. Then some •fishmongerlng genius invented the name of "rock salmon," and hestowed It npon the despised catfish, which now has an established place in the m a r k e t L i s t of Zones and Rates.

Wm. Cotter Quits Pere Marquette. Wm. <-'<>tU>r will retire from the Pere Marquette railroad general manngemetit on Jan. 1, having tendered his resignation to the receivers.

Mr. and Mrs. Cotter will go to Houston, Tex., where a brother, George Cotter, is in the lumber business.

At the same time the house refused 181 to 88, to seat George R. McLean, his democrat opponent. It was charged on the floor that he had been guilty of the same practice as were alleged against Bowman. The seat from the eleventh district will be vacant until March 4, when it will be filled by John J. Casey, a democrat, elected in November. Law Is Aimed at " W i l d Cat" Concerns. Rep.

State Board Has Control of P. M. In an opinion handed down by Attorney General Wykes,he holds that the state railroad commission has the same rights of supervision over the Pere Marquette railroad as though that road was not in the hands of a receiver, basing his opinion upon a federal statute. He also holds that a railroad company, whether in the hands of a receiver or not, can properly be held to be a common carrier of perishable shipments, and that the right of a carrier to limit its liability can be entered into by a written contract with a shipper, though not to the extent of absolving the carrier from liability for negligence. by a Not a Greek.

SAVING MAY BE $100,000,000 Postmasters Fear Wilson W i l l Rescind Taft's Civil Service Order and Take Away Their Jobs—Moving Day for Government Officials Approaches. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Men who have made a study of "spending conditions " in the federal service believe and have reported that more than ¢100,000,000 a year can be saved to the government if certain recommendations for economy be observed, and the claim is that this saving can be made without in any way crippling the service. It is probable that before the next congress ends the entire system of making appropriations will be changed, that many bureaus will be consolidated and the supply bills cut many millions of dollars, the money saved to be used for extending the useful services of the government to fields not already covered. When Theodore Roosevelt was president he appointed, what was known as "the Keep commission." It was the duty of Mr. Keep and his colleagues to study business methods in vogue in the different departments and to see how the work could be slJbrtened and yet be "Just as effective as it was under existing conditions. Start Made On Economy. When President Taft came into office one of the first thirfgs he did was to call his cabinet officers together to urge upon them the neces-< sity bf economic administration. Secretary MacVeagh was made the chairman of a cabinet committee charged with the work of economic administration. It was soon discovered that in single departments of the government the different bureaus purchased their supplies Independently of one another arid that different prices were paid for precisely the same article. One bureau for instance would pay two or three cents a dozen, more for lead pencils than another bureau was paying for the same article of the same manufacture. A good many economies, small as compared to the saving which it is lished, were made. It was a start, however, for greater things. The system which was in vogue in the treasury department, or perhaps it had better be called a lack of system, was the same which held in nearly every other department of government. All the secretaries got busy In the saving venturo and there was^ an "economic spurt" all atong- the line. Not long after the first initial economic venturo President Taft appointed a commission on economy and efficiency with Frederick A. Cleveland as its chief. This commission has been at work for more thon two years and it has worked out an elaborate and yet at the same time simple scheme for saving Uncle Sam money. Budget System Approved. President-Elect Wilson has sanctioned the budget system of appropriations which has been urged by the present president and by the commission on economy and efficiency, budget system all the appropriations asked for go to dozens of committees of congress. For Instance, the naval appropriation is acted on by several different committees, each one taking a part and no one of them knowing Just what the other is doing. The result is a scattering of energies and a scattering of money. Under the budget system all the apropriations will be considered by the chairmen of different committees acting together. They thus can get concrete knowledge of the whole situation at once and by intelligent direction can stop many holes of waste. If the economy and efficiency commission's recommendations finally be adopted by congress it is believed that the agricultural Interests of the country largely will be aided. There are bills now in congress looking to this very thing, but the cost is said to be prohibitive because of the present extravagant methods. With a saving of $100,000,000 a year, and some of the experts place it as high as $300,000,00 a year, maqy of the helpful measures now under consideration by the law makers can be passed, the money will be forthcoming, and the treasury will be just as well off as it is now and the benefits to the people will be multiplied. This matter Is going to he a live issue in congress from now on. Postmasters Fear tor Jobs. Naturally the Democrats^ of both house and senate are looking ahead to the glad time when they will come into full possession of the administration in all its branches. The Democratic leaders are nonplussed as to what to do about the blanket oivil service executive order issued by President Taft not long before the election, the effect of which was to put nearly 40,000 postmasters of the country on the civil service list It goes without saying, perhaps that nearly all of these postmasters are Republicans, many of whom have held office for years and who, unless the executive order be set aside, will continue to draw their pay from Uncle Sam for the years to come or until death or misconduct removes t h e n from their delivery windows. There ere few Republican leaders who find any fault at all with their Democratic colleagues for urging that President-elect Wilson set aside the civil service executive order of President Taft as soon after March 4 as possible. A good many of the Republicans are willing to confess that it would have been a hard blow to their party organization if years ago all the postmasters of the cottjfttry ha^j^ been removed from the field Of political appointments. They say they would have resented it and> that they cannot honestly complain because the Democrats now are seeking to prepare to have the order rescinded. The •Republicans of course Bay that the postmasters ought to be kept on the civil service list, but that this fact naturally does not prevent Democratic resentment because the order was issued just at a time to do damage to the faithful who have been waiting long for preferment For years labor has asked that a new department of government should be created to deal alone with labor problems, with a labor member in the president's cabinet as its presiding chief Not long before he set sail for Bermuda, President-elect Wilson expressed a desire to have a labor chief In his family circle. The Republicans in the past have not.been averse to the establishment of a labor department. The Democrats in the main seem to be for it, and so it is probable that one of the legislative acts of moment of the present session will be to establish such a department and to give Mr. Wilson the right to name an additional member of the cabinet. Moving Day Approaches. To a great many people Washington will not be Washington after March 4. The day following the inauguration, or at any rate some day-not far•• removed from it _wll_l be "moving day" for hosts of long time Washington residents, calling themselves temporary residents, but hoping that as the years went on they finally might write the adjective- "permanent" before the noun. What changes will take place in Washington in the personnel of the existing office forces? Well, of course, first and foremost there is the president who must move with his family and his law library to the old home on the banks of the Ohio river. Prior to the day of moving from the White House Mr. Taft will entertain for two days his coming successor as chief executive, and the successor's good wife. Philander Chase Knox, the secretary of Btate, on March 4 will give way to William Jennings Bryan possibly, or certainly to some other good Democrat of the country. Mr. Knox has been in Washington in one official capacity or another for a good many years, and he has a fine old home on K street where with Mrs. Knox he entertains In a hospitable spirit Republicans, Democrats, Progressive- Republicans and Progressives alike, to say nothing of foreigners and the casual Amcricari visitors to Washington. It Is said that Mr. Knox will move "only-from the_atata_department and that he will keep his K street house for nine months a year and will spend the other three months in the state of Pennsylvania which, after he had been attorney general in the Roosevelt cabinet sent him to the senate. MacVeagh W i l l Not Depart. Franklin MacVeagh, secretary of the treasury, is the only other cabinet officer who will not move from Washington when some good Democratic financier takes his seat in the big building where Uncle Sam's money is kept. Two years ago next Christmas day Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh presented her husband with a house on Sixteenth street. Mr. MacVeagh from the windows of his residence at the time saw tho Christmas gift building rising stone by stone only a block or two away, but he had no idea who wa3 building It or who was to live in it. Finally it was completed and, as the children say, the secretary of the treasury found the new residence "in his stocking" on Christmas morning with the "Merry Christmas card" of his wife attached. Mr. MacVeagh, it is understood, will not return to Chicago, but will continue to live in Washington in his holiday gift house. Secretary of Commerce and Labor Charles Nagel will return to St, Louis to take up the practice of the law. Secretary of the Interior Walter L. Fisher will return to Chicago to continue the course of court pleading and of closet counseling which he followed before Mr Taft called him to Washington. l Attorney General George W. Wickersham also will return to the law and probably will become a member again of the old established New York firm with which he severed his connection when bidden to come to Washington. Hitchcock May Enter Business. Frank H. Hitchcock, postmaster general, it is currently reported, has been offered eight different business positions from time to time i f he would consent to give up directing Uncle Sam's mail matters and would return to business life. It is not known whether Mr. Hitchcock will accept one of these former offers or will wait for a new and more attractive one, but the confirmed word Is that he it to enter business in New York city. Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and the Secretary of the Navy George 'Von L. Meyler will go back to the law in the one case and to business In the other. It is possible, however, that Mr. Meyer still may have political ambitions and that he may strive one day to be made United State! senator from Massachusetts.

That electric railways and sim-. ilar properties be assessed, not by local assessing ofheers, but as an entirety by the state board and the levy duly apportioned among the counties. Asks for power to call assessing, officers together, instead of the board being required to visit each county. That the state board of assessors and the state tax commission be consolidated. That all conveyances of real estate name the actual consideration. The board of state tax commission ers made its report _to Gov, lOsbo for 1911 and 1912. It is the mosj: complete ever issued by this board." The report shows that during the past two years the assessed valuations of iron mines have been raised from $19,G2J,508 as assessed by local assessing officers, to $85,567,500 after reviews had been held. "When the board began its work in 1309, the real estate of the state was assessed at §325,858,711, and the personal property at $14&,o20,37G, or a total of both real and personal of $968,189,087. "In 1891 the real estate was assessed at $796,431,830, and the personal property at $156,299,285, a total of $952,731,115, showing an increase for the ten year period of. $29,426,8S1 in real estate and an actual decrease in the assessment of personal property of $13,968,909, and showing a net increase of the whole assessable property in the state for the ten years mentioned of only $15,407,972. "In 1910 the real estate of the state was assessed at $1,348,901,950 and the personal property at $390,750,508, or a / total of $1,739,652,458. This was an increase in real estate assessments of $523,043,239. and an increase in persona! property assessment of $248,- 4207132, or .a total ihcerase oT $771,-" 463.871." "In 1899 the per cent of personal property assessed to real estate as- • sessed was 14.66 per cent. Through t h e ' work of the commission of personal property assessed is now 10. 1 As to the Railroads. Under the old taxation law, the report shows 101 railroad companies, 70 ' car loaning companies, seven express companies and 250 telephone and telegraph companies paid in taxes $1,649,- 175, while under the new ad valorem tax law as administered by the tax board these companies paid the state in taxes $4,857,865 in 1910 and $4,912,- 997 in 1912. During 1912 reviews were held in six counties, resulting in increased assessed valuations by the state board of $98,092,1112. W i l l Reappraise Seven Counties. The state tax commission announced that the commission would start a reappraisal of the counties of Bay, Calhoun( and Jackson in the lower peninsula, and the counties of Alger, Baraga, Ontonagon, Chlppawa in the upper peninsula for the coming year. The work in these counties will probably take the entire year of 1913 and judging from the raises made inthose counties where reappraisalshave been held, there will be some big boosts.

For just a moment Cameron stared in dumb awe. When he turned to me he appeared suddenly to have aged. His eyes were lustreless; and his cheeks wore 9, gray pallor. "My God!" he murmured in 2» klntl of breathless whisper. I would have given a great deal to have been able to allay that terror of the impalpable which was gripping him. But 1 was helpless. Shocked and astounded, myself, solace was not at my command. More to escape (the piteous appeal of his silent gaze than In hope of making discovery, I turned in haste to one of the long windows which onened on the outer balcony. Drawing back the sashes and flinging them wide, I stepped outside and, listening, bent over the railing. But the night was strangely still. There was no sound, even, of stirring leaves. A brooding hush seemed spread over all the outdoor world— that ominous silence which often precedes the breaking of a storm. I looked up to find the heavens wrapped in a pall of Inky cloud. And then, with a feeling of having fled from a lesser to a greater evil, I returned to the lighted room, and closed the window to shut out the horror of the night. Cameron was standing where I had left him He looked woefully tired and haggard. "Explain it!" he cried, hoarsely. "My God, Clyde, explain it!" "I would to Heaven I could," .was my forlorn reply 1 CHAPTER V I I . , "From Sight of Men Into Torment." * Seldom have I passed a more miserable hour than that which followed upon the seeming phenomenon I have described. Cameron was nervously in tatters and my own pdlse was something more than threatened. The sight of a usually brave, strong, selfcontained person of stolidly phlegmatic temperament transformed Into a relaxed, nerveless, apprehensive creature is enough of itself to try one's fortitude, even with the most favorable collateral conditions. And the collateral conditions here were quite the reverse. That which had affected Cameron had exerted an influ* ence upon me as well, knowing, as I did, all the circumstances, and being interested, as I was, in my friend's problem. And so while his plight tore at my heartstrings, my own inability to grapple with the mystery contributed an added mental distress. To my dismay I found Cameron quite incapable of anything approaching a calm, common-sense discussion of the matter, and realized to the full the mischief which this last performance, coming as a climax upon a week of more or less disquietude, had effected. He sat most of the time with head bent forward and knees doubled, his toes touching the floor but his heels raised and in constant vibrating movement, as though stricken with palty. The fingers of one hand toyed Incessantly, too, with the fingers of the other, in a variety of twisting, snakelike involutions. In vain I endeavored to arouse him; to stir In him. a spirit of retaliation. Some one warn playing tricks upon him, and that tome one must be discovered and ought to justice. Common sense Id us that, however mysterious ese happenings appeared, they uld not have occurred ^without hum agency. It was our task to dis- *pver the agent and punish him. This •'•m**' my line of, argument; but fMiuugu It all, Cameron sat unmoved u In*-flttresponsive. And then there came to me again, that unwelcome suspicion that all eJontg he had been hiding something from we; that he divined the cause end tirtv^sboroe of the persecution, hsjt far aoiae reason of his own would s e t divulge them. I r u g for one of the footmen and ««4f btendr brought, and forced to swallow s stiff drtok of | B wkjoe iTjoteed hlat Bat even stinalAat had smaU effect *pcn A ^ * M t i f i p » t a b l.reUsctaasJy throned courage which followed me home, that sleep fled me and left me wide-eyed until the dawn. The tidings which came to me with my coffee that morning were more than half expected. Cameron was ill, and his physician had been summoned from New York. When I reached Cragholt the doctor had come and gone, and a trained nurse was in attendance. Evelyn, meeting me in the hall, conveyed this intelligence in a breath, and then, laying hold upon me, a slender hand upon each coat sleeve, her big eyes pLea/ilng and anxious, she ran on: "It is shock, Dr. Massey says. Deferred shock, he called it. He says Uncle Robert has suffered from some sudden grief, fright, or other dreadful mental impression. His temperature is way below normal and his "You'll find out?" he credulously. "Yes. I'll get your mall that day, myself. I'll tell that monument of pomposity, your butler, Mr. Checkabeedy, that I am to see every letter that comes to the house and know ho\v and by whom it is delivered. Letters can't get here without hands, you know." "Other things seem to be done without hands," was his conclusive comment; and I had no reply for him. Concerning Murphy and the murdered Chinaman, Cameron did not ask, and I was glad he did not. For Murphy had been discharged from custody, for lack of evidence; and though there were some desultory efforts making to place the blame for the Celestial's violent taking-off, I doubted that they would have practicable result. The precautions again3t surprise on the fourteenth, which I had outlined so briefly to Cameron, I carried out pulse is. a. .sort of rapid feeble iiutteivjwith added detail. For instance, I instructed Rom hey to- report-to me every person who passed in or out of tho gates guarded by his Lodge. I had Kilgour, the superintendent of the Cameron acres, Issue similar orders to his men concerning any strangers seen on the estate that day. And, finally, when not fetching the mail from the post office, myself— and four times I made the trip—I sat on guard in Cameron's study, waiting and expectant. But the day passed, it seemed, without the looked-for incident. Every letter, by post or by hand, which came that day, Inside the Cragholt limits was by mo personally Inspected, and amongst them all there was no one which bore the faintest resemblance to those two baleful missives of the two preceding fourteenths. When I had made my last trip to the post office, finished my final inspection, and was almost jubilant over the significant cessation of the threats which, in their ultimate fulfilment at least, had brought my friend so close to dissolution, I made haste to carry to Cameron the glad news. Oddly enough, his condition In the past forty-eight hours had materially improved, and as Dr\ Massey attributed this, in part at least, to the influence exerted by my brief visit, I was now permitted to repeat the treatment at pleasure. It wanted but a few minutes of eight o'clock, and Checkabeedy seized the occasion to inform me. as I passed through the hall, that dinner had been waiting for nearly a half-hour; a fact which I knew quite as well as he, but when I had chosen to disregard in favor of more pressing and important employment. Nevertheless I had dressed before going for the last mall, and as a moment would suffice to assure Cameron that all was well, I relieved the mind of the distressed butler, by assuring him that dinner should not wait over five minutes ldnger, so far as I was concerned. A very light tap on the chamber door was answered by Miss Collins, who came out into the passage and closed the door behind her. "I fear it is not advisable for you to see him, now, Mr. Clyde," she said. "He has suddenly had a return of some of his worst symptoms, and I am sure Dr. Massey would object to his being at all excited." "But I shan't excite him," I expained. "I have the very best of r:ews for him. It is his anxiety over a certain matter, no doubt, "which has brought about the symptoms you speak of. I know I can relieve his mind, which I have reason to believe has been all day under an unusual strain." But still this efficient-looking:, white-clad woman was not wholly convinced. "It must be only for a minute then,' she finally allowed. "You can po la alone. But at the end of Bixty seconds," she added, as she glanced at the little gold w*»-t.ch she wore pinned to her spotless waist, "I shall Interrupt you; and then you must leave." Yielding, perforce, to her condition, I entered. And BB I did so, Cameron half rose on his elbow, regarding me with what I thought was anxiety for my report. "It's all right," I said, quietly. "All right. Not so much as a line from the enemy. They have withdrawn, just as I—" But he interrupted me. "Here, quick!" he was saying. ' T a k e this!" And I saw then that one hand was drawing something from beneath his pillow. The next moment he had given me a long envelope of that thin, waxy texture 1 had learned to loathe. For a heartbeat I stood appalled. transfixed. "Quick!" be insisted, excitedly. "Open ttt Read it! Shell not leave us long and I most know its contents." "Bat how—'" I began, as I tore the Oh, do tell mo what you. know about it. What shock has he had? You were with him last evening. He was gay enough when you and he went from the music room. What happened afterward?" Caressingly I rested my palms upon hej shoulders. "My dear little girl," I satd, soothingly. "1 am sorry I can't satisfy your very natural curiosity." "But it isn't curiosity," she corrected, promptly. "It's interest." "Well, interest then. I'm sorry, I say. Something did happen; but to tell you just what it was, and why it was a shock to him, I am not able. Not now, at least. Maybe, some day, you'll know all about it." There never was a more reasonable young person than Evelyn Grayson. Most girls, I fancy, would have teased and grown peevish at being denied. But she seemed to understand. "Do you want to see uncle?" she asked me. "I don't believe it would be wise," I answered. "Probably I, being a reminder, might do him harm. Tell me how he seems? He isn't unconscious?" "No. He answers questions. But he never says anything for himself. And, Philip, he looks --so-pincired and old and pale! And his hands are so cold. The nurse has taken away his pillows and raised his feet, and— It's gruesome, that's the only word that describes it." "But he'll soon be better? The doctor said that, didn't he?" "Yes. He said that." But the reaction which usually follows shock was only partial In Cameron's case, and for days his life was in danger. Then followed a period of slow, general recovery. As the month of October progressed I feared the liability to relapse. I knew, instinctively, with what dread sensations he must be awaiting the fourteenth of the month. He had been forbidden, of course, to receive any mall, just as he had been denied visitors; but I felt that in an uncertainty that must of necessity prove injurious. And so I took Dr. Massey, in a measure, into my confidence, and gained from him permission to see Cameron for a brief moment. "He has been asking for you," the physician informed me, "but I fancied it better to make no exceptions. Now, however, I see that you may be a help instead of a hindrance." Despite the more or less circumstantial reports as to his condition and appearance which had filtered to me from the sick room, through the medium of Evelyn, Miss Collins, the nurse, and Dr. Massey and his assistant, Dr. Thome, I was not altogether prepared for the marked change which less than three weeks had wrought in my friend. He was peaked and bloodless and tired and old. And his voice was little more than a whisper. He made a brave effort to smile, as I came in, but it resulted In a sad grimacing failure. I lifted one of his thin, clammy hands which lay inert on the coverlid, but it gave me only the feeblest answering pressure. "I'm so glad you're better," I told him, cheerily. "Fancy the doctor allowing me to see you! That shows what he thinks." "Yes," he whispered, "I'm coming round, slowly. And I wanted to see you, Clyde. What day of the month li this?" "The twelfth." "pay after tomorrow, it will come," be said. "Don't be too sure," I replied. "I think they've done about enough to satisfy any ordinary villains." He was silent for a moment. Then, with lust the faintest turn, of his head from side to side, he said: "Bat they axe not ordinary villains." "Well," •ball find 1o usta idho, w" ifI tI tg odto ehs erceo;n ea,n dI Lend of the •ttvelope.

I stretched out my hand, unconsciously, and that lay beneath It, on the counterpane. It crackled as I touched [ it; and I knew then, even before I recognized the feel of it." Sixty seconds! Was there ever such an interminable period? Sixty long seconds before that door would "open with the interruption that would spare me. I fumbled with the devilish paper; let it slip through my fingers; tore a bit here and a bit there; finished the tearing; and then, dissembling, begun tearing the other end. And still the seconds lagged; still the door remained stationary. "My God, Clyde!" Cameron cried, in a frenzy of impatience. "What's the matter with you tonight? Are you never going to get that thing open?" And then I, desperate, too, with eyes fixed imploringly on the door, was about to answer him with the truth—that I did not want to open It; ] that_I would not* could, not read_the contents; that he must wait and trust me, absolutely—when, quite without design on my part, the envelope fell to the rug at my feet. And as I stooped to recover it, I heard the doorknob '..turn. ^/hen I regained the upright, Miss ! Collins was entering, and the letter was in the pocket of my dinner jacket. "And so you see, Cameron," I said, speaking distinctly and with double purpose, the nurse being in ear-shot, "everything is quite right. The matter you spoke of shall be attended to, at once, and I'll report to you, tonight— before ten o'clock, surely." The reproach in his eyes stung me, and the pain of it followed me from the room and stabbed me at intervals during dinner. And yet it was not the part of sanity to have acted otherwise than 1 did. The temptation had occurred to me to invent phrases and sentences expressive of satisfaction over the effort of the previous communications. But 1 doubted that, in my agitation, I should be successful In the deception. And so, my only course had been delay— stupid, bungling, palpable delay It was, I suppose, but after all it had served; and, though it left Cameron in doubt^-it gave me-time and opportunity to arrange some plan for extracting the fangs of this epistolary adder before It could strike its prey. Purposely I delayed reading the letter, myself, until after I had dined. I chose uncertainty as to its contents as less likely noticeably to affect my demeanor than an exact knowledge of the minatosy message which I felt sure It carried. I think I fancied I should be able to conceal my real state of mind. Certainly I willed to do BO. But I was very soon conscious that Evelyn had divined my dissimulation Her eyes became suddenly grave and question; ing, her laughter quieted, and her conversation, which hod been glad and gay, relapsed abruptly into the serious. When the coffee and liqueurs had been brought on, Mrs. Lancaster asked to bo excused, and left us alone together There followed then a moment of silence between us, while I selected a cigarette and lighted it. She had edged her chair a little closer to me —she was sitting on my right, as usual— and leaned forward, her slender but divinely rounded forearms extended across the shining damask of tho tablecloth.' As I dropped my match upon the tiny silver tray which the inimitable Checkabeedy had placed conveniently at my elbow I turned to her and saw her question in her imploring gaze and attitude even before she voiced it. "Tell m e ! " was what she said. And although I knew that she would demand it I was unprepared. To gain time rather than information I bade her be more explicit "Everything," she pursued, inclusively, with a peremptory emphasis which indicated her determination not to be denied. My hesitation resulted in some amplification on her part. She was impatient as well as resolved, and resented what she interpreted as my reluctance to gratify her. "Everything," she repeated. "Everything that you have been hiding from me from the firsr. I am entitled to know. What about the head that was cut from the portrait? What was It that caused the Bhocks which brought on Uncle Robert's lllncfea? Why did you go for the mall four times today, and sit all the rest of the time in Uncle Robert's study? What has. happened to make him worse this afternoon? What is troubling you, now?

AnJ fcor argument prevailed. She knew too much not to know more. Cameron 3 wishes in the matter could no longer fre regarded. Just how tactfully I managed the disclosure, it is not for m.» to Judge. Perhaps I told more than I should. Possibly I revealed too little. I was guided solely by the wish not to alarm her, unduly. And yet, as nearly every feature of tho affair was of necessity STATE NEWS IN BRIEF Grand Rapids.—Frank C.

Bob stood watching her, taking in the delicate lines of her face and the beauty of the "sandy" hair, which, when he was alone and forgot that Sandy was a newspaper woman and his "pal," he was pleased to call golden. "Cut that out, Sandy. You'll be hack. I have a check and it's Christmas Eve. I'm for a treat. I say—did you hear me ask you to go to the; Metropolitan? You take it as calmly as if I bad asked you to go around to Otto's lunch counter. Deuce take it! W%y can't you be a little enthusiastic?" Slowly the girl raised her head, More than a sheet of copy had been holding her attention. But she caught Bob's frown and immediately the mother instinct in her was aroused. She broke into her usual comrade laugh. "All right, Boh. The invitation overwhelmed me. The Metropolitan?

The Metropolitan was filled with the "vulgar rich'' in holiday attire; but Sandy and Bob were happy in true bohemian style as they sat at their little table chatting and joking like two boys.

The tones were perfectly calm. Six yeara of patient waiting had not been without their power. "Margaret!" "John!" "I knew you would come. I saw you last evening. I knew you would find me. Oh, John, I am BO happy!" She rested her head on his shoulder to hide the tears. "My Margaret, now and forever!" "And Constance?" "Constance is gone—and she wished it to be." A long silence.

There was no response, BO without hesitation I offered my services. He took me at once into the stateroom and introduced me to a worried-looking young man. There was no need to ask his trouble. On the couch tossed a little girl of five or six years, her cheeks and eyes bright with fever. I had a few simple remedies with me, but the child showed rather alarming symptoms of an aggravated cold. Deciding to take no risk, I sent a telegram ahead, and when we reached Chicago a physician with necessary medicines came aboard and accompanied us to Buffalo. Dorothy escaped all of the maladies with which she was threatened and by the time we reached New York was very much better. However, Mr. Singleton, her father, retained me, and the three of us went to a fashionable hotel The little girl continued to improve, but the spontaneous gayety of childhood was lacking. Christmas was approaching and Dorothy was now able to go about. I was instructed to take her to shops and matinees—in fact, to do everything to afford her amusement. , Her father suggested that she give a Christmas tree for twenty less fortunate little girls, and he kept the btg limousine car touring the shopping district while we played Santa Claua. One day we had been out all of the afternoon Dorothy had selected twenty dolls, and in retrospect I viewed my own meager childhood and fancied what such a glorious aftersoon would have meant to me, but the child appeared even more listless thao usual Peeling rather anxious, X took her temperature, gave her some atUgbJ|tlng nourishment and asked her to get into, my lap while I read to her Dorothy had the beautiful old-young n\anj&rs in. wJUch. jfcft Utile, children of the ricfc "are "drTTTe<f, Tfrid always treated me with careful consideration and politeness, regardless of her own wishes. Obediently she climbed into my lap. put her head against my shoulder, and 1 began to read aloud a wonderful Christmas tale, We are all of us children at ChriBtmas and I, found enjoyment in the story. Dorothy was very quiet, and as I turned a page I looked down to see if she had fallen asleep. To my consternation, the wide blue eyes were brimming with tears, fast overflowing and running down the child's white cheeks. As I dropped the book and clasped her closely in my arms she gave wax to convulsive sobs. Mr. Singleton came in. The opening of the door r o u s e d Dorothy, and, seeing her father, she stretched eager arms to him and cried out: "Father, dear, I don't want a tree. I Just want mother f o r Christmas." I placed the child in her father's arms and left the room. An hour passed and then Mr. Singleton rapped on my door. He told me the story. Mrs. Singleton was not dead, as I had supposed; she was in Paris, and if the separation of which he told me was caused by fault of hers he did not so much as hint at it. Mr Singleton cabled at once to Paris. There would just be time. Christmas Eve came and still no word, and though Mr. Singleton's face looked thin and strained, he started out with Dorothy at noon, telling her they were going to have a srand and glorious time that afternoon I was left to attend to the last details of the tree that stood in glittering bravery in the center of the sitting room. There was a lot to do. and I was bustling around when the door flew open and a radiant young woman rushed in, calling: •Dan! Dorothy!" Stopping quickly, her look arrested by my uniform, she exclaimed: "He— she—oh, who is 1U?M She faltered, going white. My smiling assurance that all was well brought forth a thousand questions, and we both talked at once, and I helped her off with her wraps. She cried in my arms and kissed me with fervor when I told her of how Dorothy had ?begged for her. and then she bubbled over and we had a gay afternoon finishing the tree. Mrs Singleton was on the stepladder laughing down at me when Dorothy and her father came l a The laugh dledTon Eer lips; butTcaug"htliTs gTorfc fled look and heard Dorothy's glad cry.

Over at Howell, two oases bave been decided in justice court which have caused merchants to scratch gravel for county clerk's office to get registered. A firm at Oak Grove sought to collect a bill against a customer. The prosecution proceeded to tell its sad, sad story when the attorney for the defense jumpee} up and sprang a surprise. Says he, sarcastically, "This firm has not complied, with the law and filed a list of its members with their respective interests with the county clerk." f$l)e judge scratched his head, looked wise, and says, "Old boy, yon're right, you've got 'em skiined," and threw the case over the transom mnd took a fresh chew of tobacco. A case from Howell met the same fate. Listen to this! The fileB ID the county clerk's office shows that only comparatively few firms have made their filing and are protected with any right in court. This is serious, because the same law includes a fiue of not, less than 125 nor more than DlOO against each member of a firm doing bnsints* io Michigan, which does not file as provided by this act.—Are there any firms in Pinckney not in the fold?

No package weighing more than 11 pounds can be sent under the new parcel post law. it should be said right here that on the long hauls the parcel post may not be able to compete with the express companies, but that on shorter hauls It can so compete. It was the expressed desire of the legislators and of the postofBce officials that the parcel post system should be made of particular use' to persons having farm and factory products to transmit to customers. It is probable that producers must study the rates of postage and the convenience of trjSntrulttal and. compare them wtth the cost and convenience under present methods before individually a manftfean determine whether he is to profit or not by the change. Then there is another thing to be considered and which only can be known definitely when, fuller regulations have been made to specify exactly what kind of things can be sent by parcel post. It can be satd in a general way that anything catr hw sent which is properly wrapped and'which wVU not Injure other mall matter with^which it may come in contact. >i * ' - V Copy foreign Ceuntrlea. ' It Is probable that ihe government will adopt a .means of. transportation tot certain, ||n.ds.,Qf its merchandise much like those which have been adopted In parcel post countries abroad.' What the English call hambasket- like arrangements, proby will be adopted, and ae these can be, kept separate from the ordinary mail matter it is believed that the regulatlfnay-as finally adopted will allow the sending of eggs, butter, dressed poultry, live poultry, honey, fruit, s,nd otheY prtduots of the country. The ll-nott$d limit for a single package may wotk at first agalnat any very oextende4_ use of the parcel post for some of the articles which have been named.4 Of course, more weight can be sent if 1t is sent In different parcels, but the cost in that case would be heavier because the t&- trease per pound on a single package ta not great up to 11 pounds,, and probably It would increase at no greater rate If the government were to raise the limit of weight which is now fixed To make It simpler, it wilt l o s t more to send two packages of 11 pounds than, tt ' would. ^ 1 send one package of 22 pounds if the government eventually should allow a hapvi er single package to be carried and should charge. In proportion Just what it does now for one package of 11 pounds weight Every postmaster in the United States will have a parcel post map like the one which is here reproduced except that the zone lines, will be shown with the unit of his poatoflce as a center. AH that a postmaster will have to do when a pareel ia presented for transportation is to Bad out in what tone the destination^ of the package lies. His fable will show him Instantly the rate per pound ftjom :1 it.

The parcel post will take nothing but fourth-class mat ter. Printed matter is still In the third-class designation. Therefore books cannot be sent by the parcel post system. This the postofflce authorities seem to think is in a way unjust and may work a hardship. It may be that in the future the law will be changed so as to Include all printed matter. It seems to be certain that an attempt will be made to bring about this change as speedily as possible. Postmaster Qeneral Hitchcock has ordered that postmasters be advised that parcel post packages cannot be accepted for mailing unless they beaj a distinctive parcel post stamp and have attached to them the return card of the sender. A series of distinctive stamps is now in course of preparation for this class of mall as required by the law creating the parcel post system. Consignments of these stamps will be ready for shipment to all postofflcea in asaple time tor the establishment of the new system oh New Tear's day. The poetofflce department has given Instruction to every postmaster in the country to enlighten his patrons as much as possible on the general subject of the parcel post and especially on the use of the special stamps and the necessary attachment of the return card. The law requires that all fourth-class matter mailed a'ier January'' 1, Mt, without parcelr powt stamps attached shall be treated at "Held for postage" matter. Parcel poBt packages will be mailable only at poatofflceB, branch postofflcea, lettered and local named stations, and such numbered stations as may be designated by the postmasters. Rate on Seeds Not Affected. U should be said that the act of congress whloh putB a parcel post plan into operation does not In any way affect the postage rate on seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants as fixed by section 482 of the postal laws and regulations. The classification of articles mallable as well as the weight limit, the rates of postage, zone or zones and other conditions of mallabllity under the act of congress, if the postmaster general ahall find on experience "that they or a n y of them are such as to prevent the shipment of articles desirable, or ahall permanently render the coat of the service greater than Che receipts of the revenue therefrom, he la hereby authorized, subject to the consent of the Interstate commerce commission after Investigation, to reform from time to time such classification, weight limit, rates, zone or zones or conditions* in order to promote the aervice to the public or to Insure the receipt of revenue from, such service adequate to pay the cost thereof.'' Through many yeara different mem* hers of the house and senate have been interested In prompting parcel post legislation. Among the men most active in securing the legislation which soon Is to go Into effect as law are Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon, Representatives Davrd J. Lewis of Maryland and William Gutter of New York, who has just bean elected governor of that state. APPROVES RULES FOR PARCEL POST Postmaster General Issues Regulations Governing System. WHAT MAY BE SENT BY MAIL Gives American People Opportunity to Send Farm and Factory Producte by Mail From and to Any Point in United 8tates. Postmaster General Hitchcock has just approved the regulations which cover In detail the articles which may or may not be sent by parcel post These regulations are now being turned off at the government printing office on a "rush order" and they will be distributed as rapidly as possible.

Paris has decreed that once again the winter gown shall be diaphanous, carried out in chiffon or muslin Telvet, or at very thickest crepe de Chine or almost gauzy satin. Except in the severest weather there Is something to be said for these dresses, when they are worn by the possessors of magnificent furs, A long fur coat is far too warm to be healthy, if worn over a thick* dress, except on very exceptional days. Unfortunately a .fashion/may be intended for, one class/but it will be copied by others, and the result of eueh a mode as that of the thin winter gown spells pneumonia for a.good many people However, at least the frocks,are, pretty, especially when trimmed, with fur. Pur and old lace o»mhi&ed. are a very fashionable trimming at the moment,, although; a famous French, dressmaker has denounced the mixture as In bad taste, and being; bad art. For the evenings, of course, thin gowns-have it all their own way. Bven brocades have now been brought to seek, a degree of lightness and cuppleKess that they are practically like gauze. Indoor gowns are still being trimmed with pink or pale ground cameos, and they were also seen on hats a*4 coats, so those who possess these fine ornaments can still wear them In this very effective manner. SMART CRAVATS AND STOCKS Old Fashion, WMch Has Much to Recommend It, Will Be Welcomed Back to Favor.

Severe as it is, this t i t h e moat becoming form Of neckwear possible, and if the lawn 'turnover is not starched (but the laundress will stiffen it if she gem the chance) the severity is by DO means too great. The finishing toadies of the cravat, too/help to remove the touch of sternness. Neat and small the bow may be—but with what pointed ends, and with how much daah In its crisp lines! A very smart' notion is'to Thave the boV?at the base of the throat made of "narrow ribbon, three-quarters of an inch wide.

' 'is—- [By Gurd M. Hayes.] If the wishes of Governor-elect Ferris are respected, and there is every reason to believe that they will be, the inauguration of the first democratic governor elected in Michigan In more than two decades will be entirely devoid of ostentation or unnecessary display. In keeping with the quiet, dignified personality of the man who is to preside over; the destinies of ths> Wolverine state for the nefcti two years, Woodbridge N. Ferris will be ushered into the executive chair without the blare of trumpets or the flashing of gold lace. Plans for the inauguration have been perpared by Edmund II. ShleldB, chairman of the democratic State central committee, at the request of the governor-elect. Major itoy <;. Vander- .cock, commander of the flret battalion of field artillery, and adjutant general of the Michigan,National Guard, haa been commissioned to extend an invitation to the state officials and justices of the supreme court to participate iff he evens of he day. As the clock tolls the'hoh'rof twelve at noon on the first day of January Governor-elect Ferris and the other state officials will stand on the front porch of the capitol building and re* oelve the oath of office which will be administered by Chief Justice Joseph B. Moore of the supreme court. As soon as the gray-haired jurist pronoupces the words that will bind Woodbridge N. Ferris to the people of Michigan, the governor's salute of 17 guns will, be fired by the artillery. If weather conditions prevent the holding of this ceremony on. the. capitol steps, the officers will receive the oath of office in the senate -chamber. In view of the fact that this is the first time in more than twenty years that a democratic governor is to be inducted into office democrats from far and wide In the state are planning to come here for the inauguration and special attention is to be paid to these visitors. Patriot democrats have announced that they are coming out in two special trains. After he has received the oath of of- Oce Gov. Ferris will hold a reception for half an hour to state officers and members of the legislature, andthe has extended an invitation to Gov. Osborn to assist him. After the legislators and state offiolala have passed through the receiving line the ezcutive parlors will be thrown open to the general public, this reception being particularly for the out of town people who will not remain over night. In this feature an entirely new custom is established, previous governors not haying' invited their predecessors of a different political party to share wiih them in the events of the day. In the evening (fr$m 8 o'clock. Gov. and Mr*, Ferris, thelf son, Carlton and. wife, their son, Phelp's, the justices of the supreme court, the state offloers aad their wives, will hold a re* caption in the excutive parlor. At both receptions the First Battalion Field Artillery, In full dress uniform, will furnish the ushers and have control of the crowd, while the artillery battalion band will render a concert fn the routunda of the capitol. The Oil inspector. Governor-elect Ferris-1s In favor of abolishing two jobs that Governor OSborn, looked upon with disfavor when he came into office two years a g o - state oil inspector anil state salt inspector. The legilatiire refused to heed the request of, Osborn that these two departments be abollahfid* and it is extremely doubtful whether the next chief executive wil lbe able to aoconv plish much along thialtee. The democratic governor-elect says that hit message will be brief and to the point. If this Is true, it will be somewhat of an Innovation, as it hat required some governor* fn recent years nearly an hour tov read their in* augural at the first joint sesslon'of the two housei. .^ ,,.

Farmer,'',of Liinvtngston county wHl aspire to'the nomination in the democratic caucaa There has been some talk to the effect that the democrats and progressives will align themselves with the disgruntled republicans In an effort to control the house and elect a speaker, but little credence is given to this in Btate political circles. Whoever the speaker of the next house may be, he will be able, if he sprinkles his committee appointments judiciously, to became a powerful factor in the politics of Michigan. Some of tl»e most important propositions that have been considered in years will be up to the 1913 legislature, and as usual, the committees will be the big factors in determining the fate of some of the proposed measures. Congressional Districts. Under the provisions of the new constitution adopted in 1908, it la required that the legislature of 1913 shall reapportion the congressional, senatorial and legislative distracts of the state. Therefore, if Is expected that there will be a general scramble among the mtmbersof the house to secure the appointment as chairman of the committee on apportionment. The present congressmen will naturally want the congressional districts arranged to their best advantage, while the members of the house who have ambitions to become state eenatorsr will -endear* or to have the senatorial districts blocked out to suit their convenience. When the last United tSates census was completed, It was found that Michigan's Increased population entitled this state'to one additional congressman. This condition was met by providing a congressman to be elected from the state at large and Patrick H. Kelley, former lieutenant governor, i$g chosen as the thirteenth congressman at the recent election. All indications point to some \lvely wire pulling and intricate maneuvering when the proposition of redisricting the state comes up for consideration at the next session. Because of its population the city of Detroit will ask that It be allotted two congressmen. At the present time Wayne county Is split Into three different congressional districts, It will be impossible to add to the number of state senators or representatives as the constitution provides that there shall not be more than 82 senators or more than 100 representatives. No changes have been made in the congressional districts In more than twenty years and the attempt of the lawmakers to make a revision is sure to bring on one of the warm* est battles of the session. Taxation of Mortgages. Members of the Btatd grange, the farmers' clubs, and many legislators stand in favor of repealing the mortgage fax law passed at the last regular session two years ago, as it Is pointed put that the act. has not fulfilled the expectations, of those who framed it and that it is generally unsatisfactory. Use of >uto License Monty. Another Important proposition that the legislature wRi be asked to consider, will be a law authorizing the use of money reecived from the sale of automobile licenses, fp rthe construction of good roads,. Secretary of State Frederick ¢. M&rtlndale used this as. one of the planks la his platform when he was a candidate for the renublloan nomination for governor, and he tayt that he will exert hit Influence to have such a law passed next year. Automobllists are enthusiastic over this proposition aa they feel that inasmuch as, they are taxed for driving their motor cars oycr^the public high* Ways, that this money should "be used in the 'construction of better roadt,Ifiteead of tttrntng the fees received from the sale; of Mcenses, into, the general fund of the state treasury. ,U is expected that there will be at ileaet 60.000 licensed automobiles and motorcycles in Michigan next yaat and as each machine adds f8 to tin reHaiM of the state, such a change la die law.would add mora than 1150.- •000 annually to the good roads fond.

Jack and a few others voiced the same desire, and our consuming ambition became to add notches to our alpenstocks. Early next morning we ascended Rlgi to see the sun rise. What an. inspiring sight! Far below flowed the River Reuse, and there was Lu-, cerne surrounded with its wails and nine toll houses, resembling a "fairy city" held in the fastness of the mountains by some powerful enchanter. The pink-gold light of dawn heralding the approach of day touched ; each tip of the towers, then spread • over the flowery fields of the valley. | This seemed strange when we were ] surrounded by snow fields. ! The following week we went to Lake Brleng and crossed to inter- { laken. Here the incomparable Jung- I frau loomed invitingly in the distance. i The mountain would not come to us, ' so, like Mohammed, we went to the mountain. At Lauterbrunnen village i ire took the cable oars, which lifted us 2,200 feet to the famous little alpine village, ef Murren. Here we had a wonderful view of j Jnngfrau. This maiden of the Alps j appeals strangely to one. She is' surpassed in beauty by Monte Rosa and In grandeur by the Matterhorn. To me ahe is the loveliest of mountains. | We reached the summit at sunset i I never imagined such wonderful coloring possible! The evening clouds and shadows gathered, and finally night enshrauded the peaks with its dark, silent pall. We descended halfway down the mountain and spent the night at a picturesque Swiss Inn, { where we sat around the huge flre» place relating strange experiences. The following day we Journeyed to Byaon's Lake Geneva, with Its romantic castle of Chillon, spending two weeks there. Then we came to Zeri matt I am a real mountaineer now. j You should see me attired in a rough suit,, with spiked shoes, green hat adorned with a sprig of edelweiss and my "ruck-sack" strapped to my back. I somewhat resemble Pilgrim on his rough and weary way. First we ascended Monte Rosa, and two days later braved the Matterhora. I did not enjoy climbing this mountain, sad you will hardly blame me when you have heard all. Six of us started out, tied to the same guide. After climbing for hours and hours I became frightfully fatigued and while scaling a rugged crag I slipped and turned my ankle again. To proceed was impossible. The guide told us of several huts built to shelter stormbound climbers, Instructing us to remain there until he returned, and not to attempt a . descent Jack assisted me—in fact, • I was almost helpless—to the hut, a »suarter of a mils from the path. He ; built a fire and bandaged my ankle, giving me instant relief, and I fell asleep. I awoke several hours later, to And a tempting spread, the contents of our ruck-saokv We were ravenously hungry and ate everything In sight At three o'clock a terrific snowstorm, in all its fiendish fury, burst upon the mountain. I tried my best not to appear frightened, but as the hours wots oh and Inky darkness enveloped us, I wondered if the guide had forgotten to come. All night long we strained our ears for any sound which might foretell the a*pproach of the party. Morning found" the storm still raging. Jack showed signs of worry. Our food was entirely gone. At two o'clock the sky cleared and we started to descend. We badnt gone'far whan wa were met by a searching party. Two of tbsw escorted us to Zeros*.

It is virtually certain that the Republicans will have something to say to the Progressives about this committee membership matter, but as there is a stronger partisanship feeling between the Republicans and the Progressives than there is between either of them and the Democrats, the chances are that the Progressives will refuse to accept any favors at the hands of the Republicans.

Washington already is . making preparations for its "greatest show on earth" Every fourth year the capital for tv.o, months and a half is la the proverbial, and perhaps bromidic, "rush of preparation." It is the intention of the Pernocrats to make Woodrow Wilson's inauguration a record-breaking event and neither money nor pains will be spared to accomplish the end in view. Prior to every presidential inaugural ceremony two committees are appointed "to put the thing through." There is the- congreastoual xommitte* which tills year already has been authorized and the local Washington committee, much larger in member ship than the other and which really does a greater amount of work. Congress ha* provided for the appointment of three members of the senate and three members of the house ot representatives tc make the necessary arrangements from the law makers' point of view for the inducting into office of the ttemocratic presidentelect. Alt Kinds of Clubs Expected. Already^it is known in Washington that it is the Intention of the local committee acting through leading Democrats in all parts of the country to have every state in the Union represented by political organizations, by marching clubs of ariy proper kind which can make a good parade showing, and by any business bodies which can be represented properly without giving the Impression that their endeavors are partisan.

JSsfi*jri&0^*RO*B)-'' tn>tho list. Perhap* he tMaks B y / Q l o m i CLINTON. Washington.—Secretary of the Na*y Mey*r has asked for three new battleships. Last year congress authorised only one battleship, and did not authorise that one until there had been * pretty warm controversy on.the subject in the house of representatives. It is said that the Republican secretary of the navy haa been prompted torask for three battleship* by the fact that the Democratic platform adopted at Baltimore pledged the<4 »*rty to care for the needs of the navy. Last year, when the naval bill was before the house committee, it became known that the members of the majority party were divided as to the advisability of adding battleships to the navy. Most of the committee members were in favor of the increase, but the opposition was strong on the floor of the house, and particularly strong because some of the recognized party leaders were very much opposed to an enlarged building program. A compromise was effected and one battleship and several smaller ships were authorized for construction. ' Trying Roosevelt's Method? Tt is believed by many members of congress that Secretary Meyer has in mind Just what Theodore Roosevelt had In mind some years ago. Mr. Roosevelt wanted two additional battleships built for the navy, but he knew that congress was opposed to any great increase in the naval strength at that time. So it was that Mr. Roosevelt, wanting two ships, asked for four, and the two were forthcoming ia the nature ot a compromise, a compromise which probably made the president chuckle, because he. got just what he wanted and just what he was afraid he would not get It is suggested that Mr. Meyer hopes, through the compromise plan, to get two ships, whereas if he only asked for two he might have to be content with one. Th« United State* navy Is today third in strength among the naval powers of the world. Great Britain and Germany lead this country, and Prance follows it as the possessor of fourth place, although the French navy is nearly as strong, on paper at any rate, as the navy of Uncle Sam. The navy department wftats more sailor*, and it has asked congress, through Senator Perkins of California, who has introduced a bill to that effect, to increase the enlisted strength Of the navy by one thousand, bringing the total strength up to 63,600 sailors. An increase is asked for the marine corps ot 20 per cent, and If it is granted there will within the next year be ten thousand five hundred marines ia the service of the country. May Revive Tariff Board. The tariff board, which went out of existence because of a refusal on the part of congress to renew an appropriation for its support, may possibly come back Into being again after the tariff has been revised by the next congress. There is a strong organisation, known as the National Tariff Commission association, which is working hard to arouse public Bentlraent in favor of a permanent commission, which shall study business conditions at home and abroad and make specific reports on the schedules to congress, with the view of having them adjusted, so that from time to time the tarlffon certain articles may be changed without disturbing the whole tariff list. Already congress is being memorialized by associations and by individuals to give force and effect to a real national tariff commission. It has just been announced that there will be a convention of the advocates of the tariff commission, to be held in Washington, probably simultaneously with the opening of the extra session of the new congress. Only One Minority party? There have been happenings fithin A few day* in congress which point to the injection^ of trouble for the Republicans and Progressives in the n<xt house. It is now currently reported and believed, from what the Democratic leaders have said privately, that it is the intention of their party In the house and senate, when congress meets in extra session, W recognise only one minority party, namely, the Republican. Oh (he face of it, it would not seem that this would create, any particular amount, of trouble, hot when the matter of the committee* is taken. Into consideration and the present method of appointing members to them is thought on, trouble loonis largo.

In his reply Madero admitted his Inability to cope with the situation, practicaly refused the consideration of Indemnity for Americans whose property had been destroyed, and Intimated that the Americans who have died there deserved their fate. The reprisals threatened against Mexico in Taft'3 ultimatum .would permit revolutionists against Madero to use this country as the base of their operations, it was poipted OMt< It would inevitably mean the fall of the present Mexican government. However, officials figured out that in such a case the United States probably would be but little bettei* so far as securing protection to American citizezns and their property in Mexico was concerned, than at present since the 'revolutionary movement ih Mexico Is more" 6r TesS disorganlged and includes the very element against whose outrages the United States Is complaining. The Mexican situation was rendered more acute by information to the state department that Americans in Cananea, Sonora, were In grave danger from 1,000 Mexican miners, employed in American mines, who have gone on strike.

"There's your bit of wreckage," 1 ob- { served, smiling. "Poor devil!" he exclaimed, aym-" pathetically. "He seems more dead, than aljve. "He's breathing, sir," announced Brandon, the lirst officer, "and ndt much more. We'll take him below, and see what can be done for him, sir." He appeared to be about forty years of age, a somewhat shrunken, weather- beaten creature, with face deeply lined and half hidden behind possibly a week's growth of dark beard. It Is not easy to read a man with his eyes closed, but I was far from prepossessed by what of this fellow's features waa on view. Ordinarily I should have given him scant heed, but today was no ordinary day. and my suspicions were superactiye. Even the most trivial occurrences took on significance. And this was not a trivial occurrence. Certainly it was not usual. Fishermen blown to sea In storms and overcome by exposure, hunger and thirst were common enough, perhaps, but within the past week there had been no storm; the weather had been aa mild as that of June, with an August day or two thrown in. How was It possible, then, for this bit of flotsam to have come where it was and in the condition it was? To Cameron I gave no hint of my reasoning, but to Captain MacLeod I put the question without hesitation. "It does seem a bit odd, Mr. Clyde," he returned, judicially, "but you see his mast and sail had gone by the board and his oars, too. It looks to me, sir, as if he'd been run down, maybe, and nigh swamped. Of course we can't tell till he gets his senses and lets us know." Though this put the matter in a new light, it did not by any means relieve my anxiety; and I aBked Mac- Leod to have a sharp watch kept on the fellow, adding that I would come to him later for anything he might team. I took care, too, to caution him to make no mention of the affair in the presence of-Carperon. It was not until after dinner that evening that I found opportunity again to question the captain. I came upon him in his stateroom, a comfortably commodious cabin, far forward on the upper deck. On his table was spread a chart, over which he was bending when I entered. A briarwood was gripped firmly between his teeth and the grateful odor of clean pipe smoke greeted me as I entered. "He's come around, Mr. Clyde," be informed me, turning about; in his swivel chair, "and I'm just trying to check up some of his statements by means of this . chart here, and. our weather record." "And how do they check so far?" I asked, a little dubiously. "Quite to a dot, sir," was his answer. "There's no breakdown anywhere, so far. According to his story, he sailed out of Oloucester harbor on Monday morning. His name's Peter Johnson, and he lives in East Gloucester. He says the wind was strong from the westward, and he made the banks all right without rolahap. But about noon, the wind died, and a thick fog came in from the northeast, chill and sopping, sir. . He kept moving about, and finally in the thick of it lost his bearings. It had clouded over and after a little it began to rain. He made a try for Gloucester harbor, but must have sailed southeast Instead of northwest. Then tht night came down, and the fog was like a dosen blankets, ha says. His food was gone and most of his water, but he said he'd seen worse than that many a time, and judt prayed for the fog to lift and give him a sight of the stats. And the next thing that happened was what I suspected, sir. He heard "a steamer's whistle. He had bis sheet out and was running before the wind, arid that steamer coming upon him out of the fog, caught his boom; ripped out his mist and nearly capslsed his dory. When she rltfnted, the steam* el's lights were fadthg into the' fog agaia^his boat wis half full of water I and his oars were washed away. Well, sfcv to make • long: story short, he mast haee caught s* current that carried him well out beyond Cape Cod, and then slewed him around the eouthermoet ead of 'Nantucket island.-| r questioned him about lights and fog fork hair mat- jetgnals, and making due allowance for his condltioa, his yam works out pie* if /jtnlgfct He'd been drifting about for- three1 days When we picked him up- and ^was half dead of thirst mid out what appeared to me to be a sea* going tug or pilot boat, steaming, I thought, with rather unusual speed for a vessel of her class, It was not much of a •discovery, but the wateni had been, very barren that morning, especially for the last two hours, and insignificant as this object was I felt in a manner rewarded for my vigil. Half an hour later she had slipped out of sight and I was busy in an effort to pick her up again, when a cry from the lookout forward directed my attention to a floating speck possibly two miles or more dead ahead, and not more than a point off our, course. "Come," I said to Cameron, "let's go up on the bridge apd have a look!" "And have our trouble for ouV pains?" he returned, incredulously. "It's probably some bit of wreckage, a box or a cask." "Very well," I agreed, starting off alone. "Even a box or a cask is worth \ while as a variation/' When on nearer approach the drifting object proved to be a fisherman's dory, with a man, either dead or unconscious, plainly discernible In the bottom, I should hardly have been human had I not experienced a degree of, satisfaction over Cameron's failure as a prophet. That, however, was the least abiding of my sensations. In an instant it had given way to anxiety concerning the boat's occupant and Interest in the business-like manner in which MacLeod, the stocky young executive officer of the Sibylla, was preparing to pick up our And.4 The engine room had been signaled half-speed aheed, and already a aailor with a coll of rope In hand was stationed at the forward gangway.

I thought of having a look at Peter Johnson, myself, for I was somewhat curious to study that face again when it was sentient, and nad eyes open, but on second thought I decided to wait until morning. It seemed silly to suspect thir seemingly honest but Unfortunate fisherman.- We had not been speeding so well during the afternoon; there was some trouble reported from the engine room, and It was a question whether we had made over fifteen knots an hour since two o'clock. I know that at ten o'clock that night, when the moon went down, we were somewhere oastrof Nantucket, and directly in the path of the transatlantic liners. The night was balmy as a night in springtime, and Cameron and I in light overcoats sat on the after-deck, watching the moon slide slowly below the dark horizon line. Our chairs, were close together, facing the lee rail; his the farther astern. We talked ofmany things, I remember. He was always interested in my work, and especially in my ambitions to make The Week a power for national good; and, I remember that we discussed several projects I then had in mind for bringing about reform in high places. But the subject which then interested me most, and regarding which I still experienced a vague, unreasoning uneasiness, he had avoided throughout the day and evening, with what seemed to me studied Intent. The sudden cessation of hostilities on the part of those whom he had been given every reason to look upon as his implacable enemies, was certainly strange enough to have Invited endless debate; and I marveled that, after having accepted my falsehood as truth, he had not chosen to go over with me the whole marvelously perplexing business. His mind, I knew, was relieved by what I had made him believe, or he would not now be the man he was; but despite that, it appeared to mo. it would be most natural for him, on this day of all days—the twenty-first of the month—to question, at least, my previously emphatically stated conclusions* There had been a moment of silence between us, and these reflections were dominant with me, as six bells, ringing out musically, announced that midnight was but an hour distant. At that instant, while in time to the bell's strokes, there echoed in my brain the1'words'? "Know then, that before the morning of the efghth day hence—" Cameron, lowering his cigar, turned to me witbi "Clyde, I wonder If you have forgotten what day this is!" I doh't know why, coming at Just that particular Juncture, the question should*he more upsetting than If it had come at some other time of day, but I know it seemed so to me. For a little space my tongue refused its office. There was a lump in ray throat which demanded to be swallowed, and 1 made a pretence of coughing to hide my plight. At length I answered, a bit lamely: "No, I haven't forgotten. It's Wednesday, the twenty-first of October." He returned his cigar to his lips and smoked in silence for a full minute. Then, he said, quietly: "It's seven days aince that empty envelope came." /'Yes," I returned. There was another slight pause and he went on: "I have been thinking that possibly you were wrong about the significance of that empty envelope. Possibly those enigmatical peraons Intended that absence of a definite threat to imply the inconceivably terrible." Now that he had started to talk about it, I wished that be had continued his silence. 1 could not understand how I had convinced him be^ fore, knowing all the while that I was without truth to support me. Certainly, now, pervaded as I was with that grim disquietude, it would be even more difficult to carry conviction with my words. "Whatever they intended," I ventured, yielding a fraction of a point, "it seems to me that they'll have some difficulty in carrying it out. There are no portraits hero to mutilate and no mirrors to smash. For the previ- I WM quite sure, of counev bujr i ^akwrfeo smoke*!, 0|.duletly; fo* a while in'a ruminative mood,- Eventually he threw the end of his cigar over the rail, and leaned forward. 'TtfdfVt know,'" h*' said perplexedly. "I don't know." This I hoped was to be the end of the matter, for tonight at least; but presently he began to talk of those first two letters, to conjecture, to wonder, to dissect phrases, to dig out subtleties of meaning from euphemistic expressions. And then I knew that, he had every word memorized, JuBt as I had. Seven bells had struck and we were still talking. But now and then there were pauses in our converse—Intervals of silence of varying length—during which I sat with my gaze stretching out over the black waters and my hearing strained for any unusual sound. . More than once during the evening I thought I had detected far off the pounding note of a motor boat's exhaust, but had put ths notion aside as too Jmprobab.V (QT entertainment. Now, faintly, I s*emed to hear it again; not so distant, but muffled. I got up and stood close to the rail, and listened with ear Ijent. Then I determined to go. to m> cabin for a. night glass which. I had included among my traps. But at that moment the sound, which I had made sure of, ceased, and I stood a second or two longer, expecting it to resume. Altogether it was not over a minute or two that 1 stood there. It seemed much less than that. Then I turned with a question for Cameron. I wondered whether he had heard the sound too. "I say, Cam—" I began, and stopped, startled, with his name half uttered. His chair was empty. He was not on deck. I ran to the saloon. He was not there. I flung open the door of his stateroom. He was not there, either. I had the yacht searched for him. ' He was not on the yacht. CHAPTER IX. A Craft Without Lights. Composure is second nature with me. I claim no credit for it; it is a matter of temperament rather than \ cultivation. But now my temperament was all awry, and my composure fled me. I waB excited. More than that, I waa frantic, distracted, rattled. I wanted to do a dosen things at once; to get answers to a score of questions in a single moment. And the consequence may be Imagined. For five—ten minutes, nothing waa done whatever. Then the search-light was got into play, sweeping the waters on all sides, far and near; but with paltry result. Five or six miles astern we made out a power boat, similar to* that which I had seen through the glass earlier in the day. To the eastward a steamer with two funnels was just coming into range. The white sails of a coasting schooner showed to westward. Trailing in our wake was our squalid salvage, the dory of {the fisherman^ MacLeod, trained to coolness, ret. talned his wits. Systematically he set to work. Likely and unlikely places aboard the yacht were looked into. Before I knew what he waa about, we were going back over the way we had come with the searchlight swinging in a circle and a halfdozen sharp-eyed seamen scanning every square foot of rolling wave. "I can't understand it," I kept repeating aloud, with senseless iteration. "I can't understand it." I was standing alone, well forward, leaning over the rail. Presently Mac- Leod laid a hand on my shoulder. "We can't do anything more than we are doing, Mr, Clyde," he said in his matter-of-fact way. "For my part, I can't understand it, either; but since Mr. Cameron's not aboard, there's only one conclusion, and that is that he's overboard. And aince there was no one interested in throwing him there, then it seems very clear that he must have jumped." —^Jumped!" I cried, in • Irritation. "My God, man! Don't I tell you that I was not three feet away from him, and only for a minute qr two? How ceuld he have Jumped without my bearing him? How could he even have got out of his chair, without my hearing him?" The captain shrugged his shoulders. (TO BE CONTINUED.) z HAD AO. TflE htvujfdirES, '•'. • , v ; •; - '«• < • j , . ' • !

It cost a total of 2,164 lives in the first ten months of 1912. Tuberculosis was a close second with 1,870 and cancer was next with 1,796. Measels were the mildest disease with bat 79 fatalities. There were 458 deaths from typhoid fever, Which is the lowest in twelve years. E p - idemics at Marquette ancT Port Huron helped to make the number larger or a record would have been made that would stand for years. •enabling1 a small housefly, in June. These flies lay th*ir eggs on the upper wheat leaves. The eggs hatch, into the little greenish-white worms with the small black feeding hooka at one end. These* worms crawl down the wheat Jeaf and feed on the stalk, causing the part of the stalk above where they are feeding to turn white. This brood ot worms stays in the straw till July or August, when it changes into another brood of flies. The flieB, by laying eggs on volunteer wheat and on grasses, produce another brood of flies by September or October. It was this third brood that laid the eggs Which hatched into the little green worms we speak ot This brood 'of worms does damage by working its way down into the crown of the wheat plant, often cutting off the central stem and in this way causing considerable damage. If it were not for the numerous parasitic enemies of thls^ wheat pes4 J.t might become more dangerous O n the Hessian fly, which it resembies very mucj in its general habits. In one respect it is even worse than the Hessian fly, in that it can f«cJ on many other grasses beside wheat There are few practical measures of controlling the pest Rotation of crops and late planting of winter wheat are not as effective as with Hessian fly. Wheat Bulb Worm or 8tem Maggot* The most practical thing which man can do to control wheat bulb worms is to burn, the straw and stubble after harvest, destroying the worms of the second brood before they come out of the straw to change into the fly form. The Nebraska station suggests that wheat planted in October Is less liable to trouble, although not entirely free. COUNTRY ROADS OF CONCRETE One That Cannot Become Muddy and at All Times Provide Secure Safe Footing Is Desired. It is becoming, more and more evidant to farmers and those interested fin good country roads that a more lasting material than earth or the ordinary macadam must be used. Near Coshocton, 0., two concrete roads have been built which have successfully withstood one severe winter and show no wear either from* traJflo or weather. The first view shows a 10-foot con* Crete strip laid on the old roadbed. The second shows an IMoot strip of the full width of the road. The latter Joins the macadam read which Is deeply worn and rutted. Concrete in the first case replaced a block stone read, which had given away under heavy floods and travel, and the other, a limestone macadam road, whose life was only one year, due to heavy traffic At present the 18-foot strip road carries all travel from the concrete road and also from another brick road and shows much less wear than the brick. • country road which cannot become muddy, which will give at all times a secure footing for horses and which will need little or no repairs, would be the greatest Improvement In farm conditions that has been made In recent years. Concrete seems to be the only material combining these qualities with low cost • decade from now, our country roads of concrete may equal our city pavements In efficiency under all conditions of weather.

"Now, that It's got warm enough to ait, outdoors," pursued young Borgui, stretching his long legs over three steps below him, "we can shake the parlor in there! .Gee, but it was fierce last winter, never to get a word with you without a lot of old women butting in with, 'Excuse me, but I am looking for my crochet work! Lovely evening, isn't it, Mr. Borgusf or glaring at us for being there at all! Or having callers of their own! Nice, chatty conversations we could carry on that way, couldn't we?

"Just wanted to find out what we were talking about! Catch her sitting out there by herself! We'll circle the block and see!" When they got near enough again to see the steps young Borgus gave a low gurgle of triumph. The steps i were empty. "Come on," he said. "Let's go get some ice cream. Just as sure as we go back there somebody else'll come out!" r In a sympathetic sort of disgust they sought the brillmntlz lighted candy store on the corner\and found e vacant table. "Strawb'ree for me," said Miss Clancy. "I just wonder, Jimmy, that you haven't got tired before this and quit me. It's fierce, going to see a girl that hasn't a parlor of her own to entertain company in! We've sure been chased around enough by them other boarders!" "Well, were's away from 'em right now," said young Borgus. "Let's make the most of it I—" "Why, the idea!" broke in a highpitched voice at the next table. "If it isn't Miss Clancy! Oh—how do you do, Mr. Borgus!" There was an arch inflection to-the greeting—that was Intended to carry the idea that the speaker appreciated the sentimental situation. "How-do, Miss Binks?" said Miss Clancy stonily. Miss Binks was forty, dressed like twenty and fondly thought .she looked like sixteen. She made eyes at young Borgus, who turned purple. Then, she arose with her plate of ice cream and fluttered into the vacant chair at their table. 'It's so lonesome by myself," she purred apologetically. "I was so thirsty I just had to come out after something cold, but I shrink from going out la the evening unescorted..It's more sociable tills way, dont you think?" "Oh, my, yeB!" agreed Miss Clancy with sarcasm that was totally lost. "Sorry, we're just through.

It is perfectly apparent that here 4s ft situation which demands Immedia t e action, and that this action should fjring about the vigilant protection for all time, and in all partB of the country* of all insectivorous birds. Many tX £he most useful of these birds are already on the tobogganslide toerard extermination, as the result of atupld state legislation, or the lax enforcement of such laws as have been enacted. To be explicit: There are seven states in which the m>bin is being legally killed by the "tens of thousands annually as "game"! "These states are Louisiana, Mississippi pi, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Maryland. The black bird is legalized "game," and suffers the same fate In four fststes—Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee and Pennsylvania—and the ^District of Columbia besides. Dotes are slaughtered by the wholetsale In 26 states, much to the loss of "t&e fanners, for this bird is .a great •eater of weed seedB.

A Useful Bird Which la Rapidly Becoming Extinct. exterminated, and other curlews greatly reduced. . . . So adverse to the shorebirds are present conditions'that the wonder is that any escape. In both fall and spring they are shot along the whole route of their migration north and south, The accompanying illustrations present portraits of a group of birds, most of which the average person probably knows by sight, though I fear that only a small minority have a clear idea of their very great economic worth. The jacksnipe (or Wilson's snipe) is one of the shorebirds (referred to by Mr. McAtee), which, as a family, are being rapidly exterminated. It destroys large numbers of worms and larvae, for which it probes with its long bill in the soft earth of corn and potato fields—thereby doing the farmer a great service—as well as along the shores of ponds, lakes and streams. It also feeds on grasshoppers ahd other injurious insects. It should be carefully protected, especially during the breeding season. The kildeer plover iB another valuable and beautiful shoreblrd which is being hunted to death, it frequents meadows and pasture lands, as well as shores, and devours great quantities of moBquitoes, crane files, grasshoppers, army worms, cut worms, caterpillars, cotton-boll weevils, cloverleaf weevils, rice weevils, marine worms, wire worms and crayfish. Doubtless everybody knows the robin, perhaps the most democratic ef our birds, beloved in the northern states for his cheerful bong and hiB handsome appearance, glad everywhere to be the companion and the friend of man when he is well treated, and highly valuable a» a destroyer of harmful gmfyt wogns aa£ jj}#ecu. Yet thie bird*|e murdered lftenkllv $y the thousands for>'pot-pies by negroes and poor whites in the southern states above mentioned, and is more or less hunted in other states. Mr. E. A. Mcllhenny, who lives on Avery Island, Le., says that during the ten jdays or two weeks of the "robin season" (in January when the berries are rrpe) at least 10,000 of these useful and beautiful birds are slaughtered dally for the pot "Every negro man and boy who can raise a gun is after them," says Mr. Mcllhenny. Although this bird causes some loss to small fruit growers, it certainly does vastly more good than harm. It is constantly at work on lawns and fieldc hunting for destructive insects, which it Is exceedingly difficult to keep In control. It devours many caterpillars, including hairy species, which infest the orchard, woodland and shade trees., Forty per cent, of its food Is insects, and 43 per cent, wild fruit. It would pay the farmer well to go some expense in order to keep the robins away from his fruit trees and berry bushes rather than shoot these birds which are so useful to him In many ways. To murder them for pot-pies is, of course, nothing short of barbarous. The purple martin is also fond of the society of man, and when not molested by the villainous English sparrows—and still more villainous men by whom it is shot for food, chiefly in the south—it is glad to breed in birdhouses near human habitations. It ma'ies a charming neigh- T..& #ir*gfc BSss^sJCPiuS£flRffi<iBfaj£«'' • The KHdeer Ployer. Another Valuable Shoreblrd Which Destroys Great Quantities of Worms » and Insects. The Purple Martin.

One observer records that 32 parent martins made* 3,275 visits to their young in one Jay, each visit meaning, probably, anywhere from one to half a dozen Insects. The nlghthawk (also called "bullbat") 1" probably one of the most useful of birds. It feeds exclusively on Insects, and ranks next to the golden-winged woodpecker (flicker) as a feathered destroyer of ants, which it takes when they are in the winged stage. Potato beetles, cucumber beetles, leaf hoppers, bugs of various kinds and enormous quantities of gnats and mosquitoes are found in their stomachs. They are entirely harmless, -for they never feed on fruit, grain, grass or vegetables. Yet they are being hunted for sport and are being exterminated. The loggerhead (or southern) shrike is a champion pest destroyer, a large The Nlghthawk. One of the Most Useful of Insectivorous Bird-} Which Is Being Hunted for "Sport" and Exterminated. percentage of its food being harmful rodents and destructive inserts, the latter Including grasshoppers, crickets and moths, which It frequently impales upon thorns or sharp twigs. It sometimes catches young birds (though this'is more characteristic of the northern shrike, or butcher bird,) .but its diet is chiefly insects and small rodents. It is, therefore, very valuable to the farmer. The golden-winged woodpecker (also called "flicker," "highhole," etc.) is an industrious tree protector, and the most efficient of all feathered anteaterB. It is also feeds freely upon beetles, grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, ano* other harmful insects, as well as on weed seds. Yet it 1B rapidly growing rare because it Is much hunted for food. It should be protected everywhere and at all times. In view of the decrease already accomplished in the general volume of bird life in America, in view of the enormous losses annually inflicted upon the people of this country by the ravages of insects, and in view of the destruction of wild life which is now furiously proceeding throughout America, the McLean bill, which is now before congress, to provide for the federal protection of all migratory birds, becomes the most important wild life measure that ever came before that body. In view of the annual economic IOBS that will continue as long as a federal migratory bird bill fails to pass, it is impossible for anyone to put forth one good reason—unless if. be on purely technical groundp—against that measure. The Weeks bill, before the lower house of congress, is precisely like the McLean bill, and it matters not which one passes first. Unless the people of this country wish to shut their eyes to their own interests, and pay out millions of dollars annually in the form of increased, cost of living due to the losses caused by insect pests which would be destroyed by the birds, they should demand that a federal migratory bird bill be at once enacted into a law. It is Senate Bill No. 6497, and on the senate calendar it is No. 60C. We cannot afford to wait until 1914 or 1915, and congress has full power to act this winter.

The domestic arrangements of the sultan are entirely different from those of his subjects. Most Turks have one wife; the sultan has no recognized sultana. Turks of high rank .marry into their own class; the sultan forma unionBV with women of alave origin. The ordinary man may not look upon an unveiled woman except she be his relation or'servant; the sultan has the right to talk with any wotnan in the land face to face. Turks of position model their households more or less on the European plan; the sultan's household is oriental. That does not mean that in the imperial palace you would find women sipping sherbet or smoking narghilehs or clad In baggy trousers. On the contrary, you would niid them smok' ing nothing more oriental than a cigarette, sitting on a European chair —and, yes, wearing corsets?

And the royal favorite of the moment will have transitory importance on account of the influence which she may exercise over the sultan. Royal princesses are considered inferior to the mother of the sultan, who is the real queen of the little world of the harem, has absolute authority, a large staff of officials and the supreme title of "Valide sultan." Thus it happens that a woman of slave birth may, if she be the mother of an heir to the throne, eventually become the highest woman of the land. Every royal princess has her daira, or separate apartments, slaves, servants and so on, the management of the household being given over to her kalfas, or ladies in waiting—that is to say, Turkish women of good birth who have remained unmarried. Royal princesses rarely take a husband of their own rank. They are generally married by the sultan to the sons of men of wealth and position, such as pashas, officers of state, high civil officials and the like, a policy which is founded on a very practical reason, namely, that the arrangement makes the existence of a heriditary aristocracy impossible. One of the paradoxes in Turkey 1s that the poorer a Turkish woman Is the greater her freedom. The rich woman canont move a step unaccompanied. She sees Constantinople only from the windows of her eloeed brougham or through a roll thick enough to act as a mask, She may dress as exquisttetly as a mannequin In • Parts dressmaker's showroom,- but she must not display so m u A as an inch of embroidery in ptfbtyf. > When her husband wants to take a second wife, or grow* tired of her ahd wishes to divorce; heir, lie has both the opportunity anU the m e a n t ,tf he Is a rioh man.

The woman of the poorest classes can go out slope. Custom does not oblige her to wear her veil down. Should her husband, In a fit of anger, wish to divorce her, he must first of all produce the Nekyah, the dowry, In ready money, not an easy matter for a poor man. The real danger to domestic happiness in the great mass- of Turkish homes is the growing tendeney of divorce, and a divorce wholly favorable to the man as against the woman. The payment of the modest nekyah arranged at the time of his marriage is a simple affair, and it is seldom enough to keep the divorced wife for the rest of her days, s h e is forced to take refuge with her parents or to find shelter with some of her friends. > Day on Which Women Rule.

We used to eat mashed potato with a knife till someone with supercilious manners dame along and told ns the fork was the proper utensil for that important duty. Formerly people'poured out their hot'coffee into saucers, "blew" tt cold and then drank it from saucers, all unconscious of the terrible Impropriety involved. Nor was it formerly considered an indication of boorish origin for one to sip tea from a spoon. Oh, these changing times! Suspenders gone the way of the bicycle and the crocheted necktie! Is no one bold enough to do them reverence? Fashion is a tyrant It takes no cognisance of man's various shapes—his embonpoint, his fullness or deficiency of girth—it merely issues a flat and expects all to obey. The time is opportune for a new declaration of independence. Let every man who prefers suspenders to a belt buy a pair forthwith and wear it in defiance of the world. Some people are determined not to let Christopher Columbus reBt in peace. Not long ago a celebrated Jewish rabbi insisted that the great explorer was a Jew, and now comes a member of the Royal Geographical aooiety with the claim that Columbus was a Spaniard and not an Italian. The Spanish scientist says that the •ell of mystery that has for four centuries enshrouded the cradle of Columbus has at last been torn aside to reveal hjm without doubt or argument as a .Spaniard. Dr. Horta says that the Italian lineage of the discoverer was accepted because there was no "authentic, respectable and authorized hlBtorlc documents'! to prove to the contrary. On the other hand, the Spanish historian says the only accepted proof of the Italian birth of Columbus was his own statement that he was born in Genoa. An Englishman in Shanghai was twitting the eldest son of Dr. Sun Yetsen about his father's cosmopolitanism. "Nobody knows for certain where your father was born/' he said. "Canton claims htm and so does Hon. olulu. Before the revolution he had not been here InOhina for-maay years. The English port of Hongkong was the nearest he ever approached. I don't see how your father can call himself a Chinaman, and in fact,, I don't know what to call him." "Part of what you say is true," answered the son of the famous patriot "For fifteen years my father was a man without a country, but now," and the bey smiled proudly, "a country has been made for him."

The Abolition of the Land Commission and Some of the Appointments to Be Made Are of Special Interest [By Gurd M. Hayes.] There is every reason to believe that the next legislature will enact a civil service law for all state departments and that an effort will be made to eliminate politics to a large exetrft in determining the class of men and women who will transact the business of the commonwealth. Ever since he came into office two years ago Governor Osborn has stood for a civil Bervice law for all state employes, in recognition of meritious service. "Every employe in the state should be under civil service rules that are honestly made and honestly enforced," said the governor. "However, I am not speaking of a political service that works solely to the advantage of the parties. There is no reason why competent help in the employ of the state, after their duties have been learned well, should be replaced for merely political reasons, than there is that business firms should engage men for a short period, to turn them loose after that time has been served." In his ex-augural message the retiring chief executive will advocate the passage of a civil service law, and the newly elected governor, Woodbridge N. Ferris says that he is heartily in favor of such a measure, and niany members of the legislature are already pledged to support such a bill. Some of the departments have already inaugurated a civil service system. State Treasurer^elect John W. Haarer, has already announced that he will appoint the present cashier in the treasury department to the deputyship the first of the year, while the chief clerk will be advanced to cashier and so on. Auditor General O. B. Fuller has paid more attention to efficiency than political pull, while Secretary of State Frederick C. Martin* dale has many employes In his department whose political activities ceased years agOi-Martindate says that a civil service law would not cauae him to make a single change in his office, as he declares he would discharge a state employe found to be incompetent as quickly as he would turn a poor worker out of a private enterprise. For a man to run {or office on a platform that he is to abolish that office once he has been elected to it, Is somewhat of an innovation in Michigan politics, but that is what Augustus C. Carton, secretary of the public doman commission, and land commissioner- elect, promised the people of the state, and he proposes to make good his pre-election pledge if the legislature will assist him In the proposition. Abolish Land Commission. When the public doman commission was created two years ago A. C. Carton, then deputy land commissioner, was elected its first secretary. Under the statute creating the public domain commission, its members are composed o fthe board of state audit* ors, including the secretary of state, state treasurer and commissioner of the land office, together with one regent of the University, one member of, the state agricultural board and one member of the board of control of the Michigan College of Mines. Secretary Carton is an enthusiastic adherent of the "back to the soil" movement and has done much, during the two years that he has been conlected with the public domain commission, to encourage immigration and induce fanners from other states to take np tracts of land in the northern countte*of the state. Tb preserve the natursr'resources 61 the state, to assist in the development of the agricultural lands of Michigan and to encourage immigration, are among the few things that the commision has endeavored tb accomplish. ..Carton believes that the time has errtvedrwhea voty .little stats Ian* will he sold in MielHgsij and brieves that the work-of the las* commission it pra^JtlosJIy-finished. Therefore ho consented to-nc a candidate for the place with the understanding Uutt -the land commission would bssooifshed and the work should be turned over to the pnbUo domsin commission. AMH for t * # f t H mm$. »;•**, Nlif framed sod - "^lWW-1***^ AW'mi* set- *m.y:-,. fopertnteftdeat Clarence B. Holmos, the Michigan School fur the Blind] T^htm reooamonded to Gov. Osborn that the chief exeottttvwmsk the legislature to appropriate aprodamteiy rwo,oon 4D# thst institution next year. At the sssksastit tfistft the •yv- Ik; >! w ^ A r f * • fc^ueoftoaft dreds of blind children in the state who are unable to gain admission owing to the limited facilities of the institution. At a recent session of the legislature a law was enacted requiring compulsory education for all blind children in the state, and Superintendent Holmes points to this* as a sufficient reason why sufficient money should be appropriated to care fo rthose who are being neglected at present. It 1B pointed out that in many cases the parents of these children are unable, because of adverse financial conditions, to educate them in private schools, and as a result they grow* up and become objects of charltyf> where ^hey might be developed into self supporting citizens had they received the advantages afforded at the Michigan School for the Blind. The educational course at the Michigan School for the Blind compares favorably with the advantage! afforded In regular grammar and high schools of the state, and in adltion, each pupil IB taught some trade. Superintendent Holme* wants to add 40 acres to the school property in order that a course in agriculture may be added to the curriculum. From observation in other states he has learned that agriculture is a pursuit that may be followed to considerable advantage by blind persons, and he says that polltry arising is another industry favorable to those who have lost their sight. The legislature has always dealt generously with the School for the Blind and there is every reason to believe that the arguments of Superintendent Holmes will carry considerable weight at tho coming session. A Warm Election. There is sure to be a warm contset over the election of a secretary of the senate to succeed B. V. Chilson, who has announced his retirement after serving in that capacity for a number of essions past Chilson says that his business demands all his time and he is forced to drop out of politics temporarily. The secretaryship of the senate is worth $10 per day and carries with it considerable political prestige. Consequently it is much sought after and friends of the respective candidates are already soliciting the support ef the various members of the upper house. Dennis E. Alward, of Clare, for a number of years secretary of the republican- state centra! committee is being prominently mentioned for the position. Alward was secretary of the senate for a great many years previous to Chilson's election and It is thought that his experience will militate in his favor. During the last primary campaign Alward was defeated for the republican nomination for congress in the eleventh district. Sidney Hall, of Detroit, who has been journal clerk in the house during the past two seslons, announces that he is in the race for secretary of the senate and callms to have the solid support of the Wayne delegation. The election of a secretary will be one of the first duties that the senate will be called upon to perform and much wire pulling iB expected before any of the candidates secure the desired number of votes. New Man in Office. Governor-elect Ferris has announced that he will send the name of John T. Winshlp, of Saginaw, to the senate for confirmation as insurance commissioner to succeed C. A. Palmer. This position pays $3,500 annually and is one of the best plums that the democratic chief executive will have at his disposal. Winshlp has for years been one of the democratic stalwarts and was the democratic candidate for United States senator against Charles E. Townsend two years ago. It has also been definitely decided that James Helme, of Adrian, will be appointed dairy and food eommieioner the first of the year. Helme was appointed deputy dairy and food commissioner' under Oilman Dame. Owing to the fact that Helme was a democrat, his appointment as deputy by Gov. Osborn was entirely non-political. Helme was picked because of his fitness for the position and his expert knowledge of the dairy business. Ferris has officially decided upon James Scully, of Ionia, as the successor to George W. Dickinson, of Pontiac, as a member of the state railroad commission. This is another of the choice pieces of patronage at the 'disposal of the new governor, as Scully's term will be for six years, and the salary Is $3,000. When the railroad commission was created four years ago, Scully was appointed one of the commissioners by ex-Governor Fred M. Warner. Going Abroad. When Governor Osborn retires from the executive office the first of the year, It may be some time before he steps foot on Michigan soft again, as he says that hie intends to spend much Of his time in travel and wfl prdbsbfr start for some foreign climate si.enee. The chief executive was a newspaper pnlntshetrfor s> great many years and has waste* as-a reporter on MISS HELEN GOULD AND HER FIANCE Miss Helen Gculd, the phUanthroplcal daughter of the late Ja7 Gould, Is to wed Finley J. Shepard, assistant to the president of the Missouri Pacific railroad. MEXICAN FEDERALS SLAIN. Ascension Attacked and Captured by Insurrectos. Refugee federal soldiers arriving in Juarez report that the 250 federal Irregular troops garrisoning Ascension practically were annihiliated when rebels attacked the town. The attack was made shortly after midnight, and fighting continued only for a few hourB. The garrison commander reports by letter to General Trucy Aubert at Juarez that he knew of only fifteen of his men escaping besides himself. He is hiding at a ranch, he writeB. The fate of 150 regulars at Guzman, nearby, 1B not known, but it is believed the town was taken by rebels before Ascension. -- — Through Consul Thomas Edwards, at Juarez, the American state department requested Mexican military officials to rescue J. I. Morris, an American railway man. Morris was taken captive by rebels when he attempted to save a bridge on the Mexico Northwestern railway, which had been flred by rebels. Since Morris carried federal passports, it is feared he will not be given any consideration at the hftnds of the rebels. __ Pneumonia Causes 180 Deaths in State. There were 2,830 deaths in Michigan and 4,691 births during November, according to the mortality report of the secretary of state. By ages, there were 465 deaths of infants under one year of age; 156 deaths of children aged one to four years, both inclusive; and 957 deaths of elderly persons. Important causes of death were pulmonary tuberculosis, 175; other forms of tuberculosis, 30; typhoid fever, 32; diphtheria and croup, 48; scarlet fever, 11; measles, 10; whooping cough, 11; pneumonia and broncho-pneumonia, 180; diarrhea, enteritis under two years of age, 56; meningitis, 24; influenza, 7; cancer, 159; violence, 187. Taft Escapes Big Explosion. A few moments after President Taft and his party entered the National theater, in Panama, where they were guests at a Christmas ball given by President Porras, a terrific explosion wrecked a kiosk in Central avenue, the town's principal street. The president had just passed that way and the firemen and police guard were still on duty. Investigation showed that the explosion was caused by dynamite. One man was seriously hurt and many persons slightly injured. * The president and those with him smilingly attempted to belittle the incident, saying that they believed the explosion had no connection with the presence of President Taft Nevertheless, a rigid investigation was begun by the authorities at the command of President Porras Immediately after the cause of the disturbance became known. GOV-ELEGT FERRIS' MESSAGE. Primary Reform Issue to Receive Large Measure of Attention. Gov.-elect Ferris has completed his inaugural message—a document that for brevity, straight-arm jabs, and incandescence will rank with the strongest documents of similar nature filed in the capitol, it is declared. Gov. Ferris has left the democratic state platform to speak for itself, according to close friends, and in his message he does scarcely more than mention most of the measures formally advocated by the party. One of the exceptions will be the primary election laws, it Is announced, as Gov. Ferris has always made the alleged lack of worth in those laws a nobby. CONGRESS WILL BE BUSY Seven Important Hearings Scheduled for Session After Holidays. An Investigation possibly unprecedented in the history of the house will be ushered in when congress reassembles in January. Members of the house will divide their attention among seven distinct investigations scheduled to begin immediately after the holidays. They are: Inquiry into the so-called money trust; hearings before the ways and means committee preliminary to tariff revision by the next congress; the probe into the New Haven-Grand Trunk railroad situation In New England; the Judiciary committee's hearings on general trust legislation; the Inquiry into the ramifications of the so-called foreign and domestic shipping trust by the merchant marine committee; the Glass sub-committee's Investigation incident to the framing of a currency bill, and the inquisition Into the affairs of the office of superintendent of insurance in the District of Columbia. The Insurance inquiry will begin Dec. 26, with the District of Columbia commissioners on the witness stand. These committees will endeavor to complete their work by the end of tho session. It Is estimated that the investigations wilt cost more than flOO,- 000. et the Isigest papers .In.-Hit Msntryjf Tnent Consequently* if he desires to enter ftte jwtrtanttln —Id agst* he iNRnot he out of s "job" as som%'bl <h**»*> est aewsps»ers and mUgesfnsi ra the tJntted S*st«s fcgve seed* him sftract. tve off trs to sei as ws^ correspond- Out of 730 postcard queries In regard' to a commission form of government for Bay City about 760 were returned, and air were in favor of the commission.

One. provides for the erection of a workhouse in Lansing similar \p the one in Detroit, to be used to house prisoners from counties of central Michigan. Such a structure Is In great demand owing to the fact that Detroit will no longer contract with counties. Catlln's proposed second measure would oausej the present mortgage tax law to be repealed, substituting the law on the statute books of 1891, which provides mortgages to be deducted from estates.

CHAPTER IX.—Continued. 'There's no other explanation," he decided, conclusively. "You mean he committed suicide?" ^Call it what you like, sir." "But there was no reason for him to do such a thing," I objected. "I understand he's been pretty ill, sir." "He was 111, yes. But he was on the road to recovery." And then, with the realization that I was speaking of Cameron in the past tense, as though it were already settled that I should never see him alive again, a shiver of horror swept over me. I know Mac- Leod observed it, for he said: "There's been a drop in the temperature, In the last half-hour. It'll be more comfortable in my cabin, sir, If you don't mind coming in, and talkjjhe thing over a bit." Heavens, MacLeod," I exed, turning on him with nervous wmm ery, "do you expect me to sit down and talk calmly at such a moment? I can't It's all I can do to stand -sttth here-, for a- minute at a time. I feel I must do something. It's torture to have ene's hands tied this ay." I^think I know how you fesl, sir. " "Walking the deck will do ho good, f you could calm yourself enough k It over quietly, we might get n to something that would guide so to speak." Guide us?" I repeated. "Yes,5 sir. It's not Impossible, you know, sir, that when he went overboafd he was picked up." The light from his cabin porthole illuminated us both, and now as he looked at me he must have seen my perplexity. "You said yourself, sir," he explained, "that you thought you heard the exhaust of some sort o' craft not far away." It was. this reminder, I think, which brought back my wool-gathering wits and steadied me to a perception of the real importance of the captain's plea. Of one ^hing, at least,. I was assured: Cameron was not a suicide. How he could have gone over the taffrail without my seeing or hearing him, I: should never taxable to understand. But gone he was, and it lay upon me to discover by whose assistance thia marvelous disappearance was accomplished. "And so 1t eame about that, controlling my futile unrest, I was presently seated in MacLeod'* swivel chair, while he, from a place on the aide of bis berth, fired pointed ques-| tio** at^_ me, which I-either answered as best t could or returned in kind.. "Kow maybe it'si none of my business, Mr\ Clyde, but In view of tonight's occurrence I think it's petti. nent to know why there was such a •I?.'- V;?J / Sfc ;•*.<. r%xorougti inspection of the Sibylla before we sailed, and such a lot of can- Uon regarding the crew."

"You see," i went o«, In-.elucidation, "Mr. Cameron djtf ndti know.about this last threat. JJe^atftll when the letter came, andrwe^'fcepi ^ tron» him" It was evident to ine tbsfcvthe captain disapproved,, but _ he/Held his peace. JV ' "What were the previous threats?" he asked, presently. . "Nothing definite," I answered. "Simply that on certain fixed days the writers would demonstrate their power." "And did they?" "Most marvelously." Again MacLeod was silent for a space. "Under the circumstances, Mr. Clyde, don't you think It would have been better if you'd told me about thia?" "Mr. Cameron was very anxious that no one should know." The captain compassed his right knee with hiB locked hands. "All the same," he said, "he'd never have been spirited off this yacht if I'd a' known what was in the wind." This statement annoyed me, and I resented it "What could you have done?" I asked. "I was with him almost continuously." There came a strange, half-meditative, half-bqld look in /the man's eyes, and I was wondering what it portended, when, quite ignoring my question, he began speaking: ' "You see there oughtn't to be any misunderstanding between you and me, sir. This is too serious a business to be bungled because I am only captain of this yacht and you are the owner's friend. So, If I speak plainly, sir, you'll understand why, and not think me disrespectful." I smiled to reassure him, still puzfled, and added: "Go straight* ahead, captain. You are perfectly right." "Well," he began, "111 tell you, Mr. Clyde. Your story, as you told it to me, has some weak points in it. You say, for instance, that you were with Mr. Cameron almost continuously. Now I'm not mentioning the little while you were in here, early in the evening, but during the last quarter of an hour before you gave- the alarm, you weren't with him, either." I stared at the speaker for an instant in absolute dumb amaze, "I don't know why you say that," I said, at length, more hurt than angered. "I told you that from the moment I last spoke to him, seated beside him there on the after-deck, until I turned from the rail and found him gone, not more than two minutes elapsed. And that was God's truth." "You said you were listening for what you thought sounded like a motor boat, didn't you?" "I did." "And you were leaning over the taffrail, looking for it, weren't you?" "I was." "But you didn't see it?" "No, I didn't See it; and I couldn't hear It after the first few seconds." The eaptain had fixed a gase on me that seemed aimed to penetrate to my soul's fiber. After my answer he was silent a moment Then he said: "Where were you, Mr. Clyde, when that boat—motor, tug, or whatever she was—crossed within ten feet of the dory we are towing?" Had he struck me in the face ! could not have been more dumfounded. "What do, you mean?" were the only words that came to me. "I mean that the craft you have been^alking about came up and went astenr of us, ten or twelve minutls before1 you gave the alarm that Mr. Catneron bad vanished under your eyes. I was on the bridge and saw it myself—Just s bUck_|hape, without lights, and, her exhaust muffled, Just as you say* You tell me that you and Mr. Cameron had been sitting there for three hours, at least; that you neartVoevefr belle strike; that It was not moce than fifteen or twenty minutes after thia that you.got up and went to the rail, end that jou only stood there two minutes." went to the rail. My impression is f that it was not. I'll admit it is mysterious. The whole awful thing is mysterious." My candor seemed to relieve him. "Well, Mr. Clyde," he said, with equal sincerity, "maybe I was outspoken, but I wanted to know what you'd say.to the points that were puszling me." "You did perfectly right," I told him. "As you have said, there must be no secrets between ua." And then, as-1 resumed my seat, I asked: "What about the fisherman? He hasn't evaded his guard, has he?" MacLeod sat down again too. "He's in where I put him, now," he answered with a Bhade of reluctance, "but—I'm not sure; it's almost aB myBterious as the other—but I could have sworn I saw him come up that for'ard hatchway and go sneaking aft while I was on the bridge." "When was that?" I pressed, eagerly. "About a quarter of twelve." "What did you do?" "Nothing, just then. I waited. And while I was waiting I saw that black, spooky craft, come out of the dark, and go skimming astern of us. A little after eight bells I came down from the bridge—I stopped there for just a minute to have a word with Brandon when he came up—and then I went myself to look after Johnson and the man I'd set to watch him. The fisherman was in a bunk sound asleep, and the man swore he had been lying there snoring, for the past two hours. 'Who was it came up the ladder twenty minutes ago?' I asked. He looked at me as if he thought I was gone suddenly loony. 'Before the watch changed?" he asked. I nodded. 'Not a soul came or went,' he said, 'since I been here.'" "And the boat without lights?" I questioned. "Did yon inquire about her? Who else saw her?" "I asked the lookouts; but—well, no, Bir—and that's very strange to me —neither of them saw her. I g&ve them both a rating. If they weren't asleep I don't see how they could have missed her." The thing was growing more and more baffling. MacLeod was the last man to be accused of imaginative fancies. He was thoroughly in earnest in what he had told me; and yet for neither of his statements had he the smallest corroboration. For my own part I was sure that, at the time he mentioned, no vessel of any description had passed anywhere near us. "What did you make the craft out to be?" "Well, sir, I couldn't say exactly. She was in sight only a minute, coming in range of our own lights. She looked more like a tug than anything else;, but she had more speed than any tug I ever saw. She hadn't the lines of a yacht." "She wasn't a pilot boat?" "Oh, no, sir. New York pilots don't cruise this far east, and the Boston pilots wouldn't be so far away from home either." I offered the captain a cigar, which he declined, filling his pipe in preference. When I lighted a cigar myself, I asked: "I suppose you have some theory, MacLeod. You don't seriously think | l t was suicide?" As usual he was slow to answer, After a thoughtful second, he said: "I'd be sorry to think that, Mr. Clyde. Taking into consideration what you told me about the threat, and connecting that boat with it It looks—" and then he paused, thoughtfill again. "It's not in possibility," he went on, after a second, "that they could have plucked him off with a line. But if that fellow I saw going aft—Oh, Lord, no, sir! It's past me to see a way out All the same, we are keeping that craft in sight *o4 if we can only get thirty knots out of the Sibylla again, well find out what sire is and what her business Is, before morning."

' CHAPTER X. A Woman of Intuition. Ill tidings, always a heavy burden, never .weighed more .heavily on any one than, on me that • dismal, rainy Sunday morning, on which I stepped from the S,ibyllafe Isunch.to the stone . I water step* of Cragnolt. For two days y, wo bad searched the bays and Inlets from ProvTBcetown to Plymouth and fiotn ttttsco»*drto Providence; qtxes- ' tioning at*" •very pier' ami landing stage; making iiKjairy in every town smd hamlet; but w K t e t fetUmbteror of profit tot our n*m6 <** tliat Waok craft, with dimmed light* and mufled •ttgine*, ibad emuled otsf pursuit on the sight ef> Ganges) V4iis9$ejjaftCf so for forty-eight kours She had baJNd «pr quest. Ne I knew her; no one had seen herv • >t| ^Jge**w**t those thfiike amnietoOd, 1 As for that shaken, frayed, pallid weak and wasted, and with as little brains as sinew. So, with enough money for a new mast and sail, we had put him and hiB dory ashore at our firpt landing, and had forthwith forgotten him. MacLeod had been inclined to continue the search, but I argued that any further efforts in that direction would be only a waste of time. The craft we were looking for might have come from any one of a thousand places and returned to any one of a thousand more. Some more effective, general and far-reaching atepB must be taken, I held, and taken quickly. Indeed I felt now that to keep secret longor the conspiracy, as indicated in those mystic letters, would be little short of criminal. The aid of the police and the press must be invoked at once, and nothing left undone to trace the crime to ItB source. But my first and most onerous task was to acquaint Evelyn GrayBon with the facts as I knew them. How I shrank from that duty is beyond anything I can put into words. I know it would have been far easier for me to have carried her definite news of her uncle's death. What I had to tell was horrible in its stark obscurity. And yet, If I could have foreseen just what was to follow, I might have spared myself a goodly share of distress. I imagined I knew Evelyn Grayson, before this. I thought I had sounded the profundities" of her forWtude and courage on the night that I spread before her and read with her that third and last letter. But my fancy did her an.injustice. She wa3 even more of a woman than I dreamed. Recently I chanced upon these lines by Thomas Dunn English, which must have been inspired by such a one as she: Bo much <• clear, Though little dangers they may fear. When greater perils men environ. Then women show a front of iron; And, gentle in their manner, they Do bold things in a quiet way. Evelyn Grayson did a bold thing in a quiet way that morning. I have not yet forgotten how marble white she WBB, and yet how bravely she came, with springing step and lifted chin and fearless eyes. I had waited her coming in the music room, with its score of reminders of happy evenings in which he had participated. The chair he usually chose, in the corner, near the great bow window against which the east wind was now driving the rain in gusty splashes, took on a pathos which moved me to weakness. The Baudelaire lyric, spread openpaged upon the music rack of the piano, stirred memories scarcely less harrowing,. A photograph, an ash tray, a paper knife, all commonplace objects of themselves, but so linked to him by association,! became, suddenly, instruments of emotional torture. In this environment, under these influences, I rose to meet her, wordless. Yet my expression and attitude must have spoken loudly enough to confirm the dread that was in her heart, for even before she spoke 1 was sure that she knew. And then she had taken ray two outstretched hands in hers and raised her brave eyes to mine, and low-voiced, but sure and tremorlesB, was saying: "I feared it, Philip. From the very first, I feared it." And when I told her all, to the smallest detail, it was as though she. were the man and I the woman; for the recital had been for me a very painful confession of my own incompetence, and its conclusion left me more nervously unstrung than at any time since the night of the strange catastrophe. With what heroic fortitude she heard the narrative may best | be indicated by the statement that throughout It all she sat calmly attentive, but unquestioning, and with no sign of emotion beyond her continued pallor and a recurrent tensing of her small, white hands. At the end I leaned forward and* with left elbow on knee rested my forehead in my palm. She sat beside me on the same settee; and now she drew closer, and laying Her cool right hand over my own disengaged one, began stroking my hair with her left. For a full minute she said' nothing, then, 1A soothing accents: "I am glad you didn't find the boat That means he Is on It. If you.had found it, it would have been son* ordinary thing having no connection with this affair, whatever;* : It was odd reasoning, but.very feminine, and in an esoteric way, forceful. 'But you made one mis take, Philip,* I had not expected to find such development of intuition regarding worldly matters in one so young, and so fresh from conventual seclusion. And then her judgment seemed to keep pace' with her auguries; for when I Bpoke of Inviting the aid of detectives and the newspapers, she begged me to consider. "I am afraid for him," she pursued gravely. "Publicity might mean death. If they discover they are being nought, they may murder him. Somehow, I fe-el he is still alive; and so we must do nothing that will incite them to further violence." "But," I returned, conscious of the force of her argument, yet failing to see how this paution could very well be axercised, "we can't find him without seeking." wNo, but we can seek him in secret The newspapers must not tell ths world." "The police would of course tell the newspapers," I added. "We can do some things, without the police," was her next assertion. "There are some things that I can do; and there are more that you can do." She was thoughtful for a moment, and then: "I am so sorry about Peter Johnson! You should never have lost sight of him." "We gave him money and God speed," I reminded her. "Captain MacLeod must go back there, where you left him. Where fwas It? Sinsconset? He must trace him. His trail won't lead to Gloucester, I'm sure cf that." My self-esteem was not being vigorously stimulated by the young lady at this juncture. Indeed, I was being made to feel more and more my strategical lirferiority. "And I," she continued, with the methodical expediency of a commander- in-chief, so curiously inapposite in one so young and Inexperienced as she: "and I shall find out about those letters." "Find out what?" I asked in astonishment. "Find out what manner of man wrote them," she amplified. "But how can you?" I inquired. "That seems a pretty big undertaking of itself, for one so small." "I have, thought of a way," she declared, noncommlttally. "And what am I to do?" was my next question, feeling miserably small beside this efficient child. "You must give me the letter you have, and help me look for the others." The first part of the command was easy enough of obedience; for At this 1 raised my head a** tod her with something, lis* ssfn^sje-{that ^fternooc, Just *• i w e * * • * * * ready to run for my trote* I hoard Bvelyn'e voice over the t a b o o s , I f* fisherman, Pster Johnson, h« appeared below, seriat than above, oue>J pKrtou. ft my knowWswoT men went tat anything he waa W M f e r i o ! both W ^ * 1 * y j'eJe^g^^el^^eV e^gg ^^gge^g* ep^s^s^sa-, ge^sejs^r e^gj|Vgg4gejgg^ ^H^^RP', i iment.- : "He was one of them," e hi a tone of eonviction, "How can you say tbatrvi ftefcad* little netted.

There were those connected with the work of securing settlers for western Canada who laut spring prophesied that there would te as many as 175.0OQ new Bettlera from the United States to Canada during the present year, and there were those who doubted that the previous year's figures of 132,000 could bo increased. Recent computation made by the officials of the immigration branch at Ottawa show that the largest estimates made by officials will be 'beaten and that the 200,000 mark from the United States will be reached. As great an increase will be shown In the figures of those Who will reach Canada from other countries this year. The results of the year's work in Canadian immigration will give upward of a total of 400,000 souls. But this is not to be wondered at when It Is realized what is offering In the three prairie provinces and also in the coast province of British Columbia, which is also bidding strongly and successfully, too, for a certain class of settler, the settler who wishes to go into mixed /farming or fruit raising. When the central portion of this province is opened up by the railway now being constructed there will be large areas of splendid land available for the settler. Reference has frequently been made of late by those interested in developing the American west to the large numbers who are going to Canada, high officials in some of the railways being amongst the number to give voice to the fact. The more these facts become known the more will people seek the reasons and these are best given when one reads what prominent people say of it. What the farmer thinks of It and what his friends say of It. James A. Flaherty, eupreme knight of the Knights of Columbus, was In western Canada a short time ago. He says: "If I were a young man I would sell out my Interests in less than two months and come right to the Canadian Northwest, where so many opportunities abound."—Advertisement. Patriotism. A quaint little Incident Is related by a French war correspondent, which sheds light on the enthusiasm and nervousness with which the Greeks entered upon their war with Turkey. When the mobilization orders reached the little town of Chalkls, all owners of horses and mules hastened to comply, but there were no soldiers to escort the animals to Athens, where they were urgently needed, the military being already on the frontier. Thereupon the mayor of Chalkls set an example, which was followed by the j two or three of the oldest lawyers, letter was in my pocket at the mo- pchool teachers, doctors and hotel ment.

Either Cameron had destroyed the letters, or he had them on his person when he vanished from the yacht. At Evelyn's request, however, I wrote copies of those two strangelycouched, malevolent epistles, as nearly as I could remember them; and save, perhaps, for possibly two or three verbal errors they were, I think, quite accurate. "And now," I asked again, "what am I to do?" It was nearly midnight, and I was leaving her, my car waiting in the sopping driveway to carry me borne. "You are not to worry any more than you possibly can help," she told me, with a brave little smile, "for we are going to succeed. And tomorrow you must go to your office, and keep very, very silent abort what has happened. And then you are to come to me again in the evening, and I will tell you nil I have learned With which she gave me her band to kiss, in the odd little French way she had—a way that could scarcely have been a part of her convent teaching. As I come to review these matters now, It seems singular that I should have so readily consented to be guld ed by this girl's will In a case of such grave Importance; yet I cannot but believe there was something provlden tial both In her assumption of leader ship and In my own unquestioning ac quiescence.

The fooling of instinctive revulsion against parasites of all kinda which eharacterioea humanity generally, and which la due to something mnoh more than the mere pain or annoyance that their bites might inflict, become more interesting as further discoveries show the role of Insects in the spread of disease. Unfortunately this natural abhorrence has not been enough to protect man under conditions of poverty and uncleanliness from harboring such parasites, and now thoBe who understand how much more than a mere personal annoyance is in question from the exlstence of parasites most take up the problem to eradicate them. The possibility of the bedbug conveying relapsing fever, typhoid and leprosy has been suggested and apparently there is no parasite of man that may not be a mode of disease conveyance. Flies, fleas, mosquitoes and bugs not only are all under suspicion, but most of them are also actually demonstrated as ordinary and frequent conveyors of diseases of various kinds. Health authorities must now take up the problem of getting rid of insect parasites in order to stamp out disease. — From the Journal of the American Medical Association.

'us Incident Showing How Hard K la to Force Sanitary Rules on Dirty People. The trials and tribulations of a milk Inspector trying to force Insanitary people to live according to sanitary rules are shown In the Issue of the Healthologlat, the official organ of the Milwaukee health department. The story follows: A Milwaukee milk inspector during a farm inspection, came upon a place hopelessly filthy, disorderly and run down. A motherly person with a big heart, but firm and weird convictions, listened to the young man's suggestions. Then looking over her spectacles pityingly, she said: "Boy, my mother was ninety-seven years old when she died. She was dirtier than I am, and lived In a dirtier house and drank dirtier milk. If she could stand It I guess there, ain't no'reason why I and the city folks that get milk from this farm can't stand It too." And not being able to answer that argument, the milk Inspector left her —kindly withal, but yet voicing her Indignation over "them there new tangled ideas of cleanliness.** FLAIHriELD Mr. George Montague visited at A»hel Duttons last Thursday, Jetues (jaskey and wife ate Xraas dinner at the borne ot Ira Kings.

A beau Is one who arranges Ms curled locks gracefully, who ever smells of balms and cinnamon, who hums the aoags of the Nile and Cadis, who throws bis sleek arms into various attitudes, who idles away the whole day among the chairs of the ladles, who Is ever whispering In soma one's ear, who reads little bllletdotoc from this quarter and that, and writes' them in return; who avoids ruffling his dress by contact with his neightor's aleeve, who knows with whom everybody Is in love; who flutters from feast to feast; who can recount exactly the pedigree of Hirplnus.

The theatrical man just in off the road waB recounting to the New Tork manager bis qualifications for a boi office post. "I don't see that you are any better than a dozen other men I can take my pick from," said the manager. "You say you can sell tickets. So can they. Nobody can sell tickets If people don't come to buy." "No, they can't," said the man, "hut I have the knack of seating people so an audience of 60 people will look Uke 400, and the house will never look empty." "There's a good deal in that," said the manager^ and he gave the man the Job. How Ha Treated Her. A certain osteopath was treating a young woman who had very weak ankles and wrists. As she lived in a: town quite a distance from his ewn. city, he waa forced to leave the city Saturday of each week and go to the town In which the yoong woman lived, give her the treatment Sunday, and return- to the office Monday.

T H E HOUSE A N D SENATE F U L L Y ORGANIZED BEGINS WORK. Weather Was Fine, No Fusat Feathers Or Gaudy Display; Republican Officials Take Oath With Governor, at His Request. settlsof water. Aatuer Woodbridge N. Ferris is now governor Michigan and the first democratic chief executive to be at the head of the state government since Edwin F. Winaus assumed the reins of office 23 years ago. In keeping with the personal request of Governor Ferris the inauguration was simple and devoid of unnecessary display. Apparently the elements were in sympathy with the occasion, for the weather was ideal and the ceremony waB conducted on the east portico of the capitol building and several thousand persons viewed the event from the capitol lawn. At the request of Governor Ferris the republican state officials were sworn in with him. This party included Lieutenant Goveronr Ross, Secretary of State Frederick C. Martindale, Land Commissioner A. C. Carton, State Treasurer John W. Haarer and Auditor General O. B. Fuller. Democrats from practically every county in the state were on hand for the ceremony and they made the most of the occasion. It was the first opportunity they have had to participate in an event of this kind for many years and they enjoyed themselves to the very limit. Currie Is Speaker of House. Efforts to bring about a fusion of progressives, democrats and republicans who opposed the election of Rep. Gilbert M. Currie, of Midland, as speaker of the house, in an effort to make Rep..Noble Ashley, of Detroit, presiding officer, did not materialize and when the roll was called Currie received one of the 54 republican votes. The democrats turned their ^4 votes over to Rep. Farmer, of Livingston county, while Rep. McBride, of Shiawassee, received the votes of the 12 progressives in the lower house. When the republican caucus was held the night preceding the election 14 representatives failed to attend, and State's First Democrat Governor in 20 Yean. Woodbridge N. Ferris. it was feared that some members of the Wayne delegation fyuj succeeded in their efforts to defeat Currie,' but the differences were adjusted and Rep. Currie wiH wieM the gavel during the present session. Clerk Charles S. Pierce, who has had experience in several sessions was re-elected by unanimous vote. Rep. Charles McBride, of Ottawa county was elected speaker pxotem of the house. Over in the senate Dennis Alward, of Clare, was chosen as secretary to succeed E. V. Chilson, who voluntarily retired after several years in that capacity. Senator Frank Scott, of Alpena, was the unanimous choice of the senate for president pro tern. Senate Bills Launched. Republicans in the senate started work early in launching their progressive measures, as several bills of considerable importance found their way into the legislative hopper the first day of the session. Senator Samuel O'Dell, of Oceans county, sent up bills covering the proposed short ballot, which would eliminate from the ballot the names of many state officers; a bill providing for the direct election of United States senators, under a scheme whereby every legislator would have to file a pledge to vote for the men selected e t the primary, and a bill to provide-for state life insurance, limiting the amount of policy for each insured to $3,000. Full Australian Ballot Senator W. Frank James, of Hancock, followed with a bill to establish the full Australian ballot system In this state, under which party label will not be used on ballots, on the theory that it will make it easier for a voter to avoid a mistake in marking his ballot. James also presented a bill to establish a mtoitmim wage scale'for womenland a corrupt practices act1 intended to put an end forever to the use of money in election campaigns. Senator Leonard Verdier, of Rent, came forward with a resolution to approve the proposed amendment to the federal, conetlthttpn which could provide for, the election by the people of United State* senator*. ,, Following is the list of senatorial committees as announced by Lieutenant Governor Ross: Taxation—Wlpplns, Flzg-ibbons, W i n e - gar, Hanley, Smith.

Spooning, by which is meant that form of affection described by the sage Noah Webster as "acting with demonstrative or foolish fondness," hae been placed upon a solid and responsible bubie in the Lynn high school. Hooks on etiquette for the young usually deprecate spooning, or omit to mention it at all, but in this high school ooys and girls who deuire to spoon have merely to get a permit from their parents. To be more explicit, the principal of the school, observing some mushy scenes In the corridors of the building, recently announced that public lovemaking must stop; but he added that pupils desiring to spoon must bring a written permission from their parents. Spooning thus is reduced to a practical working basis, says the Boston Globe. If you produce the parental permit, presumably you may spoon. So girls who like spooning, and evidently there.are some in Lynn who do, must produce their permit or go unloved. "Mamma, you haven't made me out a spooning permit yet," may be heard in the homes of Mary, Margaret and Estelle, while In another part ot the city, Paul, Henry and Oswald are saying, "Pa, just sign this spooning permit, before you go downtown." When the permits are issued and have been O. K.'d by the principal, there will be an opportunity for organized labor to establish Snoopers' Union No. 1 in Lynn. T H E FINANCES OF T H E STATE ARE IN BEST CONDITION AND STATE PROSPEROUS. MRS. WHITELAW REIO FEW • RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE TO LEGISLATURE. In Leaving The Executive Office Ex- Governor Qoborn Gives Advice In Scriptural Quotation. Every other nation except Great Britain that has opera at all has it in its native tongue. France, Spain, Italy, Germany and even Russia have the masterpieces of music sung in words intelligible to the people that bear them. Only we that speak English are content to listen to songs we do not understand and to follow emotions that might as well be rendered in pantomime. The assertion that English is not a singing language was born either of ignorance or of impudence, says the New York World. Our language contains some of the most beautiful songs in the world, and some of the greatest of singers have delighted to render them, Any opera singer could surely learn to sing English as easily as Russian. The first case of stealing an aeroplane occurred the other day at the Puchem aerodrome at Munich. When the pilot, Belat, arrived In the morning he found that some one had broken into his hangar and that the monoplane was missing. On inquiry he found that several persons in the neighborhood had heard the noise of a motor, about 2 o'clock In the morning. Apparently some enterprising pilot had flown away with the machine. In the suburbs of Munich policemen were kept busy scanning the horizon in search of the flyer. Up to the present the" machine has not been recovered. For centuries before Marconi wireless telegraph was known the mystery of swift communication has puzzled many civilized explorers of barbarian regions. In the heart of Africa a missionary discovered the method of hollowing a large gourd, which was then dried, and round it was stretched the skin of a kid, hard and thin as parchment Beaten with a padded drumstick this instrument gives a sound which can be heard eight miles away. And each village contains the expert who can tap the message and send It on. The specialists in tuberculosis, reporting to the French Academy of Sciences, declare that as long at a man retains one-sixth of the lung capccity, with which he is endowed by nature, bit vltalitV remains unimpaired. This la to be noted as encouragement lor victims of consumption. As long as one-third of the original tract of the lungs remains, there is a chance that (cicatrices may form and the wounds of the disease may heal, and this onethird will constitute lung capacity sufficient for the patient to do business upon to the end of a long life. •'IC> .'v: If it Is id become the fixed custom for the women to burn their hats ,when they gain the suffrage, a Question arises which may affect masculine votes.

To the People of the State of Michigan, and their Forty-Seventh Legislature: Section five ot Article six of the Constitution of the State ot Michigan, relating to the duties of the Governor, it as follows: "He shall communicate by message to the legislature, and at the close of his official term to the incoming legislature, the condition of the state, and recommend such measures as he may deem expedient." Obedient to that mandate of the people, I find satisfaction in reporting to you that, although the state had a deficit two years ago to the amount of near a million dollars and was conpequently in diograce, it Is now out of debt and has a surplus in the treasury of near a million dollars. The rate of taxation hae been lowered and should continue to lessen Hundreds of millions of dollars in property have been added to the tax rolls, More should bo added at once. Conditions throughout the state are good. Institutional and departmental efficiency has increased. New economies are bejng practiced and there are many others that may be resorted to. Progressive laws should be enacted comprehending more equal taxation and the assessment* of porperty tangible and intangible now escaping taxation; Insuring greater purity and honesty in elections and returns; conserving the rights of the masses and improving their conditions; divorcing the organised liquor interests from politics; practically and effectively checking the devastation of alcohol, the too easy supply and consequent excessive use of which cause measureless misery; realizing the responsibility of the strong to the weak, the duties of public brotherhood and of the state to all of its. citizens; concentrating responsibility In visible officials chosen by votes in wJeldy election districts; and keeping step with the onward march of better public business, highe- humanism, applied ethics and pure morals. There Is little danger that such new and needful legislation will be created too rapidly for practical adjustment to it of the life and affairs of the state, but heed to this may well be given. It may also be remembered that the form of government Is best that is best administered. I do not need to urge you, as legisaltors, to whom has been delegated all the power of the people of Michigan whose average of citizenship is ihe highest in the world, to be true to your trust, because I have faith that you will be. I do not need to suggest to you that citizenship should take precedure of partisanship and that the welfare of the state is to be thought of before any consideration U given to party politics, because you are as well seized of these axioms as I am. I do not need to request your respectful and patriotic co-operation with the distinguished citizen who bar just been inaugurated Governor of the State, because you will contribute such an attitude of your own free will. And I do not need to obtrude a long message of suggested legislation which would only tend to confuse the new order if remembered, and be of LO 'value If forgotten, because I have conferred with Governor Ferris and he understands the needs of the state as I see them. My administration of affairs is my message to the people. Now permit me, in closing, to quote the eighth verse of the fourth chapter of the Epistle of Paul, the Apostle, to the Philliplans, upon which may rafely be builded the strong and permanent structure of state and In which may be discovered a safe rule of guidance for every action: . "Finally, brethren, whatsoever* things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things aw lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be *ny virtue, and If there be any praise, think on these things." Respectfully, CHASE S. OSBORN. Mrs. Reld is the widow of the late American ambassador to England. Applauds Words of Ferris and Osborn. Governor Woodbridge N. Ferris made his initial bow to the legislature of the state of Michigan Thursday. The retiring governor, Chase S. Osborn, in the same hour faced the legislature in the administration of his office, yet for the last time by right of his office, ^ n d delivered his final official word to the people of Michigan. The occasion was impressive chiefly in the harmony which was shown in the views of the two progressive governors of opposite political allegiance, and in the non-partisan spirit with which each was applauded by the crowd which packed the legislative chamber to hear them. Gov. Ferris repeated almost vebatim one of the paragraphs in the inaugural message of his predecessor and commented on the fact. Mr. Osborn, with delicate ethical restraint, refrained from making any detailed recommendations because, he said, if heeded, his views might embarrass the new governor and, because, he declared, he had abiding faith that the new governor will view public questions as he views them. Balkan League May Disintegrate. Excitement is growing among the Balkan allies, whese union, although maintained in ail official manifestations, is in reality threatened with disintegration. The greatest fear is entertained that Bulgaria, through her representatives in the present peace conference, is working chiefly for her own advantage. Accordingly the series of conversations between Hechard Pasha, head of the Ottoman delegation, and Dr. Daneff, leRder of the Bulgarian envoys, are watched suspiciously. Moreover Greece complains bitterly because Bhe Is no* allowed to retain Saloniki and the Chalcidice peninsula, which is as Greek at Attica, and is lorced to yield Monastlr to Servla, although ' that town contains 20,000 Greeks and only 150 Servians.

He died before doctors who had been hurriedly summoned could do anything to aid him. He was born in Little Rock county, May 6, 1862, and served as district attorney, attorney general and governor, and was elected U. S. senator in 1890. He was married in October,. 1911, to Miss Celia Qarter. At the time he was a widower. He is survived by three sons and four daughters by his first wife. / As.governor "Jeff" was unwise and extravagant and at times sensational his popularity never failed him.

The Indrakula, W i t h a Big Hole in ' Her Side, Headed for the Beach and Grounded In Time to Save Her Crew. After being rammed by the British steamer Indrakula off Tangier bar in the Chesapeake bay, the tramp steamship Julia Luckenbach was practically split in twain and foundered. Though within easy wireless reach of 10 steamers, 14 liveB were lost after a desperate battle with the seas. Among the drowned are Captain H. A. Gilbert and Mrs. Gilbert. Captain Gilbert and Mrs. Gilbert lived at Itaspeburg, near Baltimore. Nineteen of the crew, were lost. Eight were saved by the steamer Pennsylvania, and six others were rescued by the Indrakula according to a wireless message received at Newport News from the revenue cutter Apache, which went to the Indrakula'B assistance. First Officer Hunt, half crazed by his terrible fight for life, and by the remembrance of the tragedy through which he had passed, at first said that 22 persons had gone down with the ship, but subsequently it was learned that only 28 in all were on board the Luckenbach including the crippled wife of Captain Gilbert. The Luckenbach sank five minutes after the Indrakula, coming out of the fog, dealt her a death blow. Only those on the top deck had time to escape. First Officer Frederick Hunt and seven members of the crew climbed into the rigging and hung there for six hours in the terrible cold until the Danish liner Pennsylvania rescued them. The others, caught below decks, died without knowing what had happened. The Indrakula, with a big hole in her Bide, backed away from the sinking ship and headed for the beach. She was grounded in time for all of her crew to be saved. The Luckenbach reached the capes late Thursday. She ran into the gale blowing but was able to make the passage into the Chesapeake bay. She was slowly working her way up the bay when the Indrakula, driven at a high rate of speed by the gale, bore down on the Luckenbach and the collision occurred. W2&BMETKB H SUldDE. Portugal Uneasy.

Attorneys for the imprisoned dynamite conspirators won a victory in the U.

All will be released, it is believed, except Hockiu. Attorney Zoline presented the petition m behalf of the convicted ironworkers, and argued in support of it, aa did Attorney Krum.

As the result of the conferences between President-elect Wilson and democratic leaders in congress during the holidays, these features of the democratic legislative program have been tentatively agreed upon: Congress will be called in extraordinary session March 15 to revise the tariff. A complete scheme of tariff revision will be laid before a caucus of the democratic members of the new house early next March by the democratic members of the ways and means committee. This will include an Income tax if the constitutional amendment on this subject has been ratified by threefourths of the states, and an excise tax if it has not. It will- also include the administrative features of the new law embracing a substitute for the present maximum and minimum clause. Any changes in the internal revenue taxes made necessary by reductions in the customs tariff also will be laid before the caucus. The democratic caucus will decide whether the schedules will be reported and passed by the house separately or as one bill Michigan.

V " Rs •6- CHAPTER X.—Continued. Very briefly she explained that she had seen the professor that morning, and had laid before him the original letter and my copies of the others, and that he had kindly promised to make a careful ctudy of them and acquaint her with the result later in the day. She thought It better, however, that I stiould call upon him for his conclusions, she said, as they would probably be verbal, and she doubted her own ability to convey them to me "with entire accuracy. Of course she had told him nothing as to the circumstances surrounding the letters. As they bore no dates, and were unaddreased, she had him to infer that they were autographic curiosities belonging to her uncle, In which we „were all three Interested. I had met Professor Griffin on several occasions. Once or twice he had { contributed articles to The Week, and while we were scarcely Intimate, we were on terms of friendly acquaintanceship. He was an oldish, whitehaired gentleman, of rather the ascetic type, with long, somewhat peaked face, and light, watery blue eyes, which seemed to bulge behind the strong lenses of his gold-bowed spectacles. He received me In his study, a spa-' clous, book-lined room on the second floor oft his old Colonial stone house. "I have been deeply interested, Mr. Clyde," he began, "in the autographs and copies which Miss Grayson brought to me. They are unique specimens of English composition, in that the Oriental Influence is so clearly demonstrated throughout. Do you, by any chance, know where Mr. Cameron obtained them?" I was hardly prepared for this question, but I answered as promptly as possible that they had recently come into my friend's possession, I believed, but from Just what source I had not learned. The three sheets lay before him on the writing-shelf of his old-fashioned mahogany secretary; and now he took up one /ot the copies, holding it at some distance from his eyes, as though his glasses, thick as they were, were not as powerful as his sight required. ' "The three writings," he went on, in the tone of a class-room lecturer, "evidently form a series, of which, I take It, this Is the first" , "The one which says, Take warning of what shall happen on the seventh 4ayT' I queried. T e a . That Is th* first. The other of the copies, In which occurs the phrase 'once more/ it, of course, the second. And the original autograph U the last? "Exactly," I agreed. It teemed to f me that all this was very obvious, but i» cotirtesy X could not say so, "AH three," he continued sagely, "begin, at you mutt have observed, wfth the'tame sentence, That which you have wrought shall in turn- be >t upon you/ That it a quota* quoUion!" I exclaimed, to sur- ;.4*& 1 v- •X. quotation from Menoiut, the expositor of C$nfnclut, who lived £/Q«m V» 3tf. In the drigfngl, * word meaning *Bewire< precedes the warning, and a more literal traotlattoB of the. pateage would be: •Beware! Vfrtt'prtceeds from you wtt return t* you a g e h V - It teetoed toMM t h * wit taking a great deal for granted. I feared that the profettor, like m*7 J f W t t ^ H ,ftbjehosed m* ,,,, r , .,, ;..... l < *» i**"1 through the series, other quotations that are unquestionably of Chinese origin. The first letter, for example, concludes with: 'The ways of our God are many. On the righteous he showers blessings; en the evil he pours forth misery.' This is from the Book of History, or 'Shu King,' in which are the documents edited by Confucius himself. It usually has been rendered in this way: 'The ways of God are not invariable. On the good doer he sends down all blessings, and on the evil doer he sends down all miseries.' That is the more exact rendering. And again, In the second letter we find—" He paused a moment, takng up the second sheet, and focusing .lis dim eyes upon the lines. "We Ind," he went on, ".'Fine words and i smiling countenance make not virue,' which Is from the Lunhu, or Analects' of Confucius, In which the lews and maxims of the sage are etailed' by his disciples. 'Smiling ountenance' is hardly the best transition. 'Insinuating appearance' is lore nearly the English equivalent, nd I should prefer/ 'are rarely connected, or associated, with virtue' to make not virtue.' " "Those, of course, are unmistakably rauslatlons," I agreed. "And so are the concluding sentences of the third, the autograph, letter," he assured me. " 'Say not Heaven is high above! Heaven ascends and descends about our deeds, daily inspecting us, wheresoever we are.' I find it in one of the sacrificial odes of Kau, and it is the best rendered of all the excerpts." "So your conclusion as to the authorship is—?" I queried. "Chinese, undoubtedly," he answered. "These were written, I should say, by a Chinaman, educated, probably, in this country. His English 1B the English of the educated Oriental, but the quotations from Confucius and j his commentators are characteristic. With the average Chinaman, to know Confucius is to know all; what he said is all-sufficient; what he did not say Is not worth saying. Another identifying feature is the effort to make afraid. Their religion is fear." Having concluded his exposition, Professor Griffin was disposed to enter upon a more or less lengthy discourse on Chinese character and literature in general. However illuminative this might have been under ordinary conditions, I was assuredly in no mood to listen to It at this time. The information he had given me, while it merely verified suspicions which I had held from the first, set me to speculating on the individual source of the letters; and with so modern an instance at hand I was naturally disinclined to consider the authorship of writings dating back often a thousand years and more beyond the Christian era. With what grace I could, therefore, I discouraged a continuance of the theme, and having thanked him most [.heartily, pocketed the notes with which he was good enough to furnish me, and prepared to depart. But as I stood at his study door, his lean, scholarly hand resting in mine, he detained me for a final word. "The symbol!" he exclaimed, his pale eyes lighting at the recollection. "We forget the symbol!" ' "Oh, yea," I returned, my Interest revived, "that silhouette at the bottom." "It is unmistakably Chinese," he said. "I am not very familiar with the symbolism of the East, not as familiar at I should be, possibly; but Chinese writing, you know, in its origin, it picture writing with the addl* tton of a limited number of symbolical and conventional designs. This figure, I should say, represents a lorcha, or small Chinese coasting junk, and you can rest assured that the threats contained in the letters were with & view to reparation for tome crime or injury connected In some way with such a vestal. That it at near at I can interpret i t But if you would like to know more—if you would like to get something more nearly definite—I can refer you to one who can, I think, give yon the information." "By all meant," I implored, "I shall appreciate it greatly." "An authority on this subject it living not very far from here. He spent 1 many years in China/ la something of fan artist himtelf, and made, I understand, a study of Oriental tymbolitm. He lives at Cos Cob> a»d his name "MurphyV r interrupted, a t a flood of illumination swept over me. "Philetus Murphy. Yet. Do you know M a t " -1 have mot him," I returned short-) iy." t- • • ' ' ^ And thaaWng the profester v once more, I hurried away, with a coarse 61 action already shaping to my mind. « / CMAPTWt XI. *&.*:»>> ^ V „ *>• < The 6ftlitt*» MeroJiant . It was while Professor Grtffla was tt^v«"g of Csiaste charactettttlet tfcftt « *tO« Ms* <%e* t t t i something about the average Chinaman's disinclination to speak of death, directly, and how he invariably employed some euphemism. The phrase "pass from sight of men into torment" the professor pointed out as an illustration. And then I remembered little Mow Chee, who was in my class at Yale, and how, once, in speaking of the demise of a fellow classman, he had used the odd expression, "he has saluted old age," which I afterwards learned was quite a common form in China. It was now a year or more since I had seen Mow Chee, but I recalled that at our last meeting I had made a note of his address; and so on reaching my deBk the next morning I looked it up. Curiously enough a private detective agency which 1 had arranged* to consult chanced to have Us office in the same building ou lower Broadway as the Pacific Transport company, by which Mow. Chee was employed; and thus the plan which had been shaping mentally the previous afternoon, as I hurried away from Professor Griffin's, was readily set in motion before noon of the day following. In the evening I had discussed it with Evelyn; and though the detective feature did not at first meet with her approval, she eventually conceded that it was a necessary part of the project. It was agreed, however, that the real purpose for which that aid was invoked should not be divulged. Philetus Murphy was to be shadowed and dally reports wero to be made to me. That he had been under suspicion of brutally murdering his Chinese servant Was sufficient reason for the proceeding, and to the detective agency I gave no hint of any further consideration. As for my Celestial classmate, I waB not by any means sure that I should find him at the Pacific Transport offices. I knew that for some time China had been calling upon her sons of western education to return to their mother country for service, and I feared that little Mow Chee might already be customs taokai of Shantung, or some other imperial province., But my miBgivings were very promptly allayed; for no sooner had I stepped within the outer office than he saw me. and came hastily forward, with a smile of greeting on his square, flattened, yellow face. His desk was just back of the long counter which ran the length of the room, and a glance at its piled contents showed me that he was very busy. Moreover, there was no opportunity here for the privacy which I desired; so after an exchange of greetings, and a few conventional inquiries* I invited Mow to lunch with me at the Savarln, at whatever hour would best suit his convenience. Somewhat to my dismay, he fixed upon one o'clock. As it still wanted ten minutes of noon I now had over an hour of leisure, which, as may be imagined, promised to hang rather heavy* the more so, aB I was impatient to make some real progress in my quest. Wall street being at hand, I concluded to call on a friend there who usually handles my investments, and make a convenience of his office. On the way, 1 bought an afternoon paper, and as my broker happened to be at the Stock Exchange, I had ample opportunity to read it from first column to last. It proved about as thrlllingly interesting as the early afternoon reprints of what one has already read at breakfast usually are, and I was about to drop it to the floor, when my eye caught a group of headltnea on the latt page, which, up to that moment, had escaped me,* but which now suddenly riveted my attention: CELESTIAL CLAIMS -MYSTERIOUS BOX ON FALL RIVER PIER. Anything concerning Celestials, I suppose, would have attracted me, jutt then, but the burden of this was so peculiarly pertinent, that it teemed at if it mutt have Intimate connection with the tangle I had undertaken to unravel. With the paper gripped tightly in both hands, and my head bent intently forward, I raced through t h e frtvo> loutly-written article which followed; and from a superabundance of cheap wit and East tide slang managed, to extract the somewhat meager facts. A truck, driven, by a Chinaman, it teemed, had that morning taken from the pier of the Fall River Line* a square box, meaturing about Ave feet each way, and perforated with a number of auger holes. The brilliant space-writer had 'given hit imagination free rein as to the contents, speculating as to the possibilities, from edible Chinese dogs to smuggled opium, but he had omitted \o furnish the name and address of either the oon* ttgao* of consignee. "The* truck/ draw* by the sltaJt-eyeA white horse, aftfl drtven by the phlegmatic Chink, clatter** away in the , direction, of Mott street*" the account coucrsded. After all, it was a very common nation. Nevertheless, I thrust the paper Into my pocket. Mow Chee might throw some light on the matter. He would know, in all likelihood, what sort of goods were shipped by way of the Fall River Line to his countrymen in New York. We secured a corner table in the Inner room at the Savarln. It was not so crowded there and it was less bustling and noisy. My companion attracted some little attention, of course, but not sufficient to prove annoying. New York, as a rule, pays small heed simply to the unusual, and Chinamen are common enough not to be absolute curiosities even in the big downtown restaurants. A very dapper little fellow was Mr. Mow; neatly and inconspicuously clad, and well brushed and combed. He was for recalling old college days, when he was coxswain of the class crew and.I pulled the stroke oar, but my time was too precious for such reminiscence, and as speedily as possible I broached the subject I had at heart. "Now," I began, perhaps less delicately than I should, "there's a saying, you know, that the only good Indian is a dead Indian. That wouldolt apply to the Chinese, would it? And yet, while there are some very excellent Chinamen, there are some pretty, bad ones, aren't there?" He grinned, exposing his fine teeth. "Oh, yes," he answered, "there are good and bad, but the percentage of had is less In my country than in some others." I caught the significance of IIIB remark, and realized that I deserved the rebuke. "And amongst the educated Chinese, here in Now York?" I went on, without stopping for comment, "There are a few bad?" He was still Bmiling. "Bad?" he queried. "What do you mean by bad? There are Borne who have vices, yes. Some gamble, some smoke opium; some get the best of a bargain." "Are there some who would kill?" I asked, bluntly. "Oh, no, no!" he protested, without raising his voice. "I certainly should hope there are none such among the educated." And then I told him about the three letters, and what had happened, omitting only Cameron's name and place of residence. Imperturbable little chap that he was, he listened without emotion. When I concluded he said: "You are sure they were Chinamen who did this?" "Would men of any other nationality quote Confucius and Mencius?" I asked. "No, I think not," was his reply, "and yet It might be done by crafty persons to mislead." But I could not agree with him. "We are not revengeful as a nation," he said, "we are rather long-suffering. If Chinamen did what you tell me, it wa3 In return for some very great injury; some crime, I should say, against their parents or near kinsmen." "But my friend was never In China," I declared. "And he was the last man in the world to harm anyone." For a little while Mow Chee ate In thoughtful silence. Presently he looked up. "Clyde, my friend, I know so little \ of my own people here in New York. But one man I know, a merchant, who is very prominent and very upright. He is a big man in the Six Companies. I will give you a card to bim; you can speak to him in confidence, and if he can help you, he will, not only because I sent you, but because he stands for all that Is beat, and- desires that my countrymen In the United States shall have the respect they deserve from your cltiaent. I would send you.to the Chinese Con tul, but-my friend, Mr. Yup Sing, i* better." < My hand was on the newspaper in my pocket, but I did not ahow ff to Mow Chee. I would reserve it for the encyclopaedic Yup Sing, whose ud« dress, at written on the card which my classmate furnished me, was on Mott street, a few doors from Pell. New York's Chinatown it a much more familiar locality to the transient visitor than to the average citizen. In all the years of my residence in the metropolis, of which I am a native, 1 had never before had either th,e occasion or the desire to dip into this mott foreign of all the city's foreign sections. . To me, Chinatown was as a far country. Vaguely I had an idea of its location It lay, I knew, east of Broadway and west of the Bowery ;< but its latitude was not dearly defined. My impulse was to hail a cab, give the driver the number of the Mott street establishment, and so, without farther Individual effort, bo whirls? away tenry dettmatioo. But there are no cab stands on lower-Broadway; and to walk to Broad,street, where the cabman lift stl day fa wait for the prosperous stock broker and bis sitsjstostsr, MtBjgsrtsr tspra van place, everyday occurrence, f»robably , ^ a t ^ t r boles were omTy t?»o^ holes,, ...... . ^..^-.--,, -L to grant. Therefore I boarded a Bxoadway car and was drawn haltingly northward, until, on reaching ) -Canal \ street, I alighted in sheer d and turned eastwards * Here a letter, carrier, of whom I Inquired, Bpetl me straight to my goal— a couple of blocks as I was going, a turn to the right, a few blocks more, and th<? bulk windows of the Yup Sing Company would come into view. I found the establishment easily enough. But had it not been for the name printed in big Roman lettering, I should never have imagined it a Chinese business house. There waB no display of goods in the big windows, which were screened half way up by light blue shades, giving the front an appearance similar to that of the average American wholesale house. Having passed inside, however, there was no such illusion. All about me were the characteristic products of the Orient, from brilliant silken embroideries, and exquisite gold and silver and bronze work, to cheap cotton and linen fabrics, lacquer furniture, and straw slippers. And the atmosphere was further enhanced by the half-dozen or more Chinamen who were lounging in the middle and far distance, each with shaven crown and coiled queue and each in the more or less brilliantly colored native dress. One of thetse, a comparatively darkly- a-;tircd young man with full, round visage, came forward as I entered. "Is Mr. Yup in?" I asked. He was inclined, I saw, to hesitation and so I produced Mow's card. "Oh, yes," he said, after studying it for a moment. "Oh, yes. Mlsta' Yup! Ho in." With which he left me, and taking the card with bim disappeared behind some draperies at the back of the big crowded store. Between the others, who regarded me for a moment only with idle interest, there was, while I stood there, a rapid exchange of observations In their native tongue, mingled with a sort of high-pitched cackling which I assumed to be laughter. I had turned my back towards them, but presently a shuttling of fe<?t along the floor informed me of the approach of what I imagined was my returning emissary. On whirling about, however, it was to face an elderly man in purple silk garments and a black skull cap—a man of thin, almost cadaverous yellow visage, whose upper lip and chin were adorned with a sparse growth of silky blue-black hair, and upon (he bridge of whose nose rested a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles. "You would see me, sir?" he asked, and I noted that there was scarcely the slightest indication of tne foreigner in cither pronunciation or accent. "If you are Mr. Yup," I smiled, "you can, I fancy, from what Mr. Mow tells me, give me the Information I am in search of." Ho did not smile in return, but his thin face assumed an expression of benignity that was as much of an invitation to lay my problem before him as were his words. "Anyway I can serve a friend of Mr. Mow," he said, "will be a pleasure." But, aB he spoke, the benign expression passed. Once again that thin saffron- hued face, with its hollow cheeks, and small deep-set eyes, had become unfathomable. At least two of his partners or salesmen were within car-shot, and I turned a significant glance towards them, as I said: "The subject is a confidential one, Mr. Yup. If I could speak to you—" "In private?" he finished. "Certainly, sir. Will you kindly step this way?" He led me to the rear of his store, holding aside a curtain of heavy embroidery, through which I passed into a smaller room, furnished in carved teak wood and ornamented with magnificent specimens of Chinese porcelain and pottery. A little Chinese girl, not over eight years old, and wearing a blouse and wide breeches of a pale cerulean silk, stood beside a table. Before her were several small sheets of rice paper on- which she was makleg designs in water colors. Ignoring the child, he Indicated a ohair near the only window, screened, [Ike the windows In front, with a blue shade. And when I had sat down, he drew up a chair for himtelf opposite me. His manner, in spite of the benignity of a moment before, waa not encouraging, and for a little I was embarrassed as to just where to begin. At length, however, I said: "I fear, Mr. Yup, that tome of your countrymen have recently made a terrible mistake." "A mistake?" he echoed, gravely. "A mistake that I trust it is not too late to repair. Briefly, they have kidnapped a gentleman of fortune and influence, one o r my dearest friends, in a manner most mysterious, after first subjecting him to the annoyance of a series of anonymous letters and a succession of lingular, nerve-torturing acta of trespass." Mr. Yup glanced at Mow Chee's card, which ho still held. (TO BE COIfTINUED.) GET THIS FOR COLDS Prescription for Positive Resulu Don't Experiment.

TOLD HER LIFE'S AMBITION §mall Girl Somewhat Crudely Expressed Her Desire to Be a Teacher When She Grew Up. At one time or another during the ward school life of a little girl there prevalTs the -ambition to become a teacher. Perhaps it is the Indisputable authority possessed by the hand that wields the rules or the nonchallant display of wisdom on topics surrounded by the moat inaccessible difficulties to the small boy and girl. They will nearly always tell their ambitions to a well liked teacher, and one rather surprising declaration was given by a little maid in one of Miss Clara Townsend's room before she became principal of the James school. Among the special favors coveted by the youngsters is the permission to stay behind after school and clean the blackboards. One evening a little girl was given the desired privilege, and while engaged In the task she struck up a shy sort of conversation with Miss Townsend. Finally the usual confession was made. "When I grow up, I am going to be a teacher," she announced. "That so?" pleasantly asked Mist Townsend. "And why do you want to be a teacher?" "Well," was the rather surprising anBwer, "I'll have to be either a teacher or a lady, and I would rather be a teacher."—Indianapolis News. Shopper's Cramp. , Simeon Ford, at a dinner of hotel men in New York, discussed a new disease. "There's a new disease called shopper's cramp," he said "It appears early in December, becomes violently epidemic about the middle of the month und ends suddenly on the evening of the 24th. "Women feel shopper's cramp la the arms, the limbs, everywhere; but it attacks the husband only in one place—the pocket." Balanced. Representative Pujo was talking In Washington about the currency. "It must balance," he said. "It must balance automatically and delicately. It must resemble the Christmas husband." " 'Oh, John, dear,' said this chap's wife, 'I'm so sorry you've got all those heavy parcels to carryt* "'Well, you see,' John panted, reassuringly, 'my pocket is very much lighter now."" A Weakling. "I am sorry to say," remarked the young wife, "that my husband see ma to lack initiative and decision." "What has caused you to think so?" her friend asked. "I have to suggest It every time when he asks for a raise In salary, and then he hesitates for a long time about doing it." Keeping Her Word, Josephine—Do you know to whom Stella Is engaged?

What the White Rose Saw The world teemed very fair and beautiful that summer morning wben I first awoke to a consciousness of lti axiatence and of my own life and fragrance, and thrust a tiny white petal out from among tbe close green leaves to take my flrat view of it I was very. happy in those early days. The bees and humming-birds kissed me aa they floated lazily by and whispered sweet messages of the garden life. They flattered me until I thought I was the most beautiful thing in the garden until she came, and then I lost my heart. A dream of loveliness she was aa she came down the path clothed all in clinging pink, just the color of the moss rosea that grow near me, with. hair like the sunlight that Ilea sparkling on the soft grass, and eyes like dark violets. They told me ehe was a human. One day she stopped by the bush and told us she was very happy, but would soon be much happier; then she patted us and called us her bridal roses, and declared no one should touch ns until she gathered us for her wedding day. The next thing I remember was one beautiful night when I heard steps on the gravel, and looking up saw my ' loved one coming, and with her anoth- | er human, taller and not nearly so ' pretty; he did not look like a flower I at all, unless it were to remind one of the tulips. I never did care much for them. My love was all in white, and looked like the tall lilies that grow near the gate. He was speaking to her in low tones. X could not hear what ne said, but I could hear her voice plainly. She was saying: "Maurice, if there is any truth in this, tell me—I cannot, bear to think you would deceive me." Then I looked up in his face—it looked very white in the moonlight. Then he said: "Ruth, you do not understand; I ASTOEUUS. Aubrey Gilchrist and family ot Pinckney visited at the borne of E.

I heard him plead with her—then he turned suddenly and left her standing quite near me. She stood motionless, as though listening to catch the last sound of his footsteps—the click of the gate sounded in the distance, and then all was silent At last she gave one sob and fell aU In a heap on the gravel near me. How I longed to comfort her—and I think she must have felt my sympathy, for after a while she put out her hand and raised me to her lips and kissed me so tenderly, that even now, though I am old and yellow and shriveled, I thrill at the recollection. After awrhtle she arose and carried me Into the house and up to her ro^p—this was a new world to me, and I wondered what was coming next. She stood for a long while looking out at the moonlit garden, caressing me soft* ly. Finally, she murmured: 'It la no use, I cannot face it" Carrying: me over to a closet she took out a tiny bottle and slowly drank Its contents. 1 had a confused sense of her fingers tightening around me, and then she staggered backward and fen to the floor, and I was still In her hand. All through the night I lay there watching her, wondering why she lay so still and white.

How I longed to be down wtU my companions breathing in the toft sweetness of the summer morning.

BARNARD The new parcel post law has been viewed with a great deal of misgiving by retail merchants everywhere. However, it should give them new opportunities of which they have had little conception. It improves their position as respects distant mail or der houses. A mail order house 200 to 500 miles away must p*»y 62 cents to get a ten pound parse mailed, The local merchant serving the same article to a 50 mile territory, can get the same thing carried for 32 cents. He can send it for local delivery, including such rural routes as may start at the come postoffice for 14 cents. A mail order house over 1,000 mile* away must pay 91 cents to get such a parcel mailed. It should be possible for the local merchauta to develop % good trade in the outlying country for material to be delivered by the parcel post. The possibilities for the development of t,hi« business are unlimited and in the outlying country around this city, there is thus a great potential trade waiting for someone to get it.

Since that momentous and epochmaking event nations have risen to _ mighty power, only to go down to •decay and oblivion. Unpeopled plains have been converted into hives of induHtry, and hives of industry have reverted back to unpeopled plains. •New lands have -been discovered and peopled and new seas have been navigated and charted. Everywhere progress has changed the physical condition of the people. Everywhere progress has changed the historical and geographical importance of na- Afcma and countries. Here, alone, in the Mount Btatl Valley, where the nation that gave us the Savior first sprang into prominence, progress has stood still. Surrounded by the peaks ot the "Forty Martyrs," all is hushed and still on the plain where once the hum of thousands of voices was heard, and Where the valley rang with the resounding march of the hosts of Israel &&***• *K ••SM OD the peak of Ras-es-Safsafeh, the cross, the symbol of Christianity, has been planted on the very •pot upon which Mo3es, the great law giver and leader of the Jews, stood and gave to his people itfc» ten commandments, the basis of all religious (beliefs and the foundation of all law, moral and cIvIL Now unpeopled and deserted, the very loaesomeneflB of the place is awe-inspiring, and Ihe "silence of the tomb" is not more impressive tibeei tfre "veil of silence" that envelops Ras-cs- BafcaFeh and its surroundings. T%e mount on which God is said to have revealed himself to Moses is situated in the southern half of the so-called peninsula of Sinai, projecting into the northern extremity of the Red sea, between the Gulf of Suez on the west and the Golf of Akabah on the east, This park of the peninsula consists of a mass of granite and VOfpftyry mountains which may be divided Into yfase groups, a northwestern, reaching in Jebel Ceibal a height of 6,712 feet; a central, includi n g Jebel Musa (Mount of Moses). 7,363 feet.

Ad&pvsi^G&iTri^&uyG^ Loja the traveler who for days has been wearied by the sight of nothing else but they monotonous blue of the burning sky and the dreary desert all about him is exhilarated, pleased and rested by the night of those beautiful cypress trees with their cool, dark foliage down in the wadi—the Arabic name for hollow or valley. One can scarcely imagine anything more dreary than the valley where these trees raise their heads above the rock-bound hollow in the desert. They stand in all their majesty in the gardens of the monastery of the Sinaitic monks on St. Catherine, one of the mountains of the range called the "Forty Martyrs," and great pride is taken by these men of Ood in these trees, which for a thousand years . have broken the monotony of the desert waste and have cast their welcome shade wherein the weary traveler and the travel-stained caravan may rest and take shelter. For more than a year the Israelites were encamped in the valley of Sinai when they again took up their wanderings in search of the promised land. Through Asia Minor they proceeded to the land of Canaan, their great leader, Moses, dying as they came in sight of the country which God had promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. One of the most Important places in Asia Minor, on the road from Constantinople to Konia, Is the ancient town of Aflum Kara-HisBar, whose extraordinary citadel, rising 800 feet in its, very center, was the Byzantine fortress of Aeroenas. where in 730 A. D, the Arabs, under the leadership of Sid el Battel el Qhazl, were defeated by the Turks in its very shadow. To get a view of this mogt picturesque town a climb up the stairway cut in the rock of the citadel brings one to the very summit where there still remain the mediaeval Turkish fortifications >• Like all other towns in Asia Minor, Aflum Kara-Hissar Is built of mud bricks. Its streets run in every dfrection of the compass. Although the language spoken there is Turkish, there is a large Armenian population. It fa as dirty a place as one can imagine. Overrun with halfstarved, howling doga in the day, the night is made hideous by their mad attempts to clean up the refuse thrown in the streets. It is a good place to be avoided by the fastidious. The town boa8t3 of a fine basaar, churches for the Armenians and mopques for the Turks, as well as schools for both classes, The Armenians have made a commendable effort to make their part of the town Inhabitable and sanitary. The story of the birth and infancy of the founder and first legislator of the Israelite nation Is one of the treasured gems of Hebrew literature He was of the tribe of Levi, -and k his mother. Jochebed (his father's name' wae Amrantt. hid him three months in defiance of the edict of Pharaoh, who, to prevent the growth of his Hebrew slave population, had ordered all thetr inale children to be put to, death at birth. At* Mhe> danger of discovery became great the fnfant was placed in an ark on the Nile, was found and; adopted by the daughter of, Pbamoa, and was trbught Up aa #n Egyptian trlncf- Bat ate heart waa wit* alt enslaved brethren, aad his slaying of one of their oppressors necessitated his flight to Midian, where he received the divine call to be the deliverer of his people from' Egypt. After considerable trouble he led them forth, crossed the Red sea, in which the pursuing Egyptians were drowned, and then, during a forty years' residence in the deBert, organized the religious and social polity of the nation. Moses stands out as a sublime and unique figure, without whom neither Judaism, Mohammedanism, nor Christianity could have been what they are. BEAR WAS HIS INDIAN W I F E . Where the Hunter Shot Her Is Now Called Bear's House. Along one of the branches of the Cheyenne river in South Dakota there stands a bill called Matoti, or Bear's House. Tradition tells this Indian legend about it: Once upon a time an Indian hunter was out on the chase. He wandered for many a day through forest and plain, over.hill and dale, till he finally came to a spot, where Bear's House now is. Here he hunted for a while until one day he met a beautiful Indian woman. As soon as he saw her he wanted to marry her. Long and hard was the wooing, for the Indian woman was unwilling to marry the stranger. At last she consented, but she made the stranger promise that he would never in the future hunt or kill the hear. This animal waa her totem, sacred to her and an object of her worship. The hunter falthfuly promised to obey her wishes and to hunt all other animals and leave the bear unharmed. Then they were married and lived on in happiness and contentment for many a day. Once it happened that the hunter started on the chase. Early he went and roamed all through the neighboring forest without killing a single ihJng. At lastiae became weary and tired.from lhe chase and resolved to return to his wigwam. Aa he wae approaching his home he saw In the dusky twilight the dark and shaggy form of a huge bear making straight for the wigwam. "Now my wife will be lost." he thought, "for if the bear reachea there before me he wilt surely kill her." Doubt at first stayed hia hand, for he remembered his marriage vow. But fear and anxiety overcame hia doubts. He raised hie bow to his shoulder and aimed at .the animal. One arrow sent straight to the heart laid the animal low. When the Indian came near he saw instead of the bear the lifeless form of his wife. The Mil where they lived is still called the Bear's House, or Matoti Hill. i . "*V Not for Publication.

Baltimore, l i d . Ovoid When a woman suffering from some form of feminine disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course frightens her. The very thought of the hospital operating table and iha surgeon's knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder. It is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stags where an operation is the only resource, but thousands c£ women have avoided the- necessity of an operation by takirg Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This fact is attested by the grateful Tetters they write to us after their health has been restored. These Two Women Prove Our Claim. Gary, Maine.-*'I feel i t a duty I owe to all suffering women to tell what Lydia E. Fiakham's Vegetable Componad did for me. One year ago I fotmd myself a terrible sufferer. I had paiaa ia both sides and such a soreness l o o u l d scarcely stalghten up at times.

Not so, however, with the members of the house. Of such a progressive nature during the last regular and special sessions that it was willing to push through any sort of a, measure, the house attracted considerable attention for its willingness to act, but this year it i3 apparent that some of the old time leaders are bucking over the traceB. Already some of the progressive republicans in the house are complaining that the leaders of the G. O. P. majority are not acting for the best interests of the party and the people of the state, and the whole trouble has apparently arisen over the adoption of the resolution introduced by Rep. Farmer, the democratic leader, that all recounts shall be discontinued and no action taken. Rep. D. G. F. Warner, who has been an avowed and open supporter of the liquor interests in the house for several years, aided the democratic leader in the passage of the resolution. Every democrat, a number of progressives whoso seats were to have been contested, and several republicans, supported the resolution. The republicans who were anxious to have some of the districts recounted allege that it was a move on the part of the liquor interests. This statement has apparently caused a fine little split in the ranks of the republicans in the low.er house and there is no telling to what lengths the controversy may be carried. Calmer heads over in the senate are already urging the recalcitrant members of the house to bury the hatchet and assist in putting through some good legislation. Shipments of Live Stock. Rep. Dunn, of Sanilac, has prepared a bill compelling railways to give live stock precedence over ordinary freight A movement ha3 been started in Michigan and surrounding states by live stock buyers and shippers, which is based on the fact that the railways have made stock shipments feel the brunt of the delays. The bill establishes a minimum rate of speed for stock shipments of say 15 miles per hour while in Michigan territory, Shippers claim the railroads made it a business to hold up stook in prder to add feeding charges and then only furnish feed enough for a tenth of the number shipped. State Tax Commlsslowo. If the senate affirms the appointments of Governor Ferris the democrats will control the state tax commission as the chief executive has named Thomas Kearney, of Ann Arbor and. Orlando, F» Barnes, of Roscomnlon to succeed Thomas D. White and W. B. Mershoa,—Barnes -has twice been the democratic candidate for land commissioner and a number of year* ago was democratic mayor of the city of Lansing. Kearney has long been a prominent democrat in Washtenaw county. Free Text Books. There Is considerable opposition already being manifested againBt the bills provid4ng for free text books and uniform text books. One prominent member of the legislature says that If the present law was applied there would be no demand for free text books, as the law specifically provides that school districts can purchase books at wholesale and either sell or give them away to school children.

During the two years that he occupied the executive chair Osbt>rn never visited the apartments of any of the state's elective officers and when hie presence was required at a meeting of the board of state auditors, the meeting was held in the executive office. "I shall visit all of the state departments, as I believe that It is'the duty of the chief executive to be on good terms with the men who are transacting the state's business," said Ferris. "I shall visit the legislature sometimes. I do not think that it is beneath the dignity of a governor to call upon the lawmaking body of the state. Even though I might want to stay away, r am sure that my curiosity would get the better of me and I would visit both the house and senate." Per Hospitals, Ete. If the bill introduced by Rep.

It was anronnced at Jackson prison recently that in the future all prisoners parried will be ordered to return to the t on nties, from which they were sentenced. The step is so taken because of the Urge number of prisoners wbo remain in the city, after being parole«i and the subsequent danger of having these men so near their former prison "Cheese It, fellers, cheese it! cop!" There' was a scurrying of <feet and] a confusion of grimy hands in the! struggle to recover the dice and pen-] nies scattered within the snug circle] of excited newsboys gathered far up] D — lane enjoying, apparently heed-i less of consequences, a midday1 gamef of much-forbidden "crap." In the wild scramble to save their] ''gambling Implements" and nevertheless, escape the bluecoated official I striding upon them, nobody thought of pcor Billy. But, with his papers under one arm, his crutch resting beneath the other and an empty trousers leg dangling in the breeze, Billy, with hfe companions, sought selfpreservation. D lane, for the surefooted was none too good walking, and a treacherous spot found Billy in his misfortune and brought him heavily tothe ground, his papers in an untidy pile beside him an.d the crutch quitebeyond his reach. The corners of his mouth drooped ever so little as he looked up from; bis uncomfortable position and beheld the officer towering above him. "Well, my lad, you seem to be the one to go along with me. All the rest have made good to get out of the. way. I'm mighty sorry I've got to take you-^pne of the others would1 have suited me better—much better. But the sergeant detailed me especially to stop this crap shooting. Me says' it can't go on." The policeman spoke not unkindly, but Billy, from his seat of earth, heard, and knew that a plea for release would be wasted, "Here's your crutch, my boy. Come -on " ' "Aw. let him off, can't yer?" Billy and the policeman wheeled about at this unexpected Interference from the rear. There, crawling from beneath an empty barrel set forth by one of the many restaurants along the lane, bis face and hair generously streaked with a covering of flour taken on In his place of refuge, came a boy not much larger than Billy himself— one of the circle of former "crap shooters." "I say, Billy ain't done nothing He warn't ehootln' with the bunch. The last I see of Billy he was settin* there eatln' his handout Weren't you, Billy?" Billy nodded complacently. "Yer pinchin', a *nnooent man, boss; straight goods. "Now," the boy went on pushing his hands deep into his pockets and broadening his base, "now, Fm one of the' bunch. I've got a pull with the gang.

"You know right from wrong and—ah, here comes the sergeant— well let him settle it." Billy shrank closer to his champion as he felt his own tiny atom of self completely overshadowed by this formidable giant with shining buttons and chevrons. The contact lent the Intercessor strength for a final appeal. "Sergeant, can I speak to you for Billy? I don't mind for myself, but Billy just can't go to the lockup." Nervously the child's fingers locked and Interlocked, but his gaze met that of the stalwart officer of the law unflinchingly. Breathlessly, he rushed on. "Billy's mother 1B home sick In bed.

Look about as you walk along the street and see how many children you Ran count chasing after or riding on the endB of wi^ons in the streets. The odds are heavy that you canuot fall to Bee such a bight every time you take the trouble to look Everybody sees the sight and nobody does anything about it. Would you believe that it is just as much against the law for a child to catch behind as it is for a stranger from out of town to stop his vehicle within ten feet of a hydrant. Let the stranger try It on and he soon finds himself in the clutches of the law, says the Hartford Courant But let a child try it on and there he is. Now the inevitable result of thiB utter neglect to enforce a law that makes tor safety is simply to invite peril. Pretty soon, possibly on another page of the paper in which this article appears, there will be an account of another automobile accident. Some excitable observers will likely call it an automobile outrage. It will be the story of how an automobile ran over a child that had been playing catch behind andshad jumped off the vehicle It was stealing a ride on. The one way to prevent these killings for which drivers are not to blame is to impress on the children and their parents that this business, which the law forbids, must stop. i l*$f{> *L- V fmS / ' * ' • A baby never laughs, an aged person very rarely. But the smile, like the pleasures of the palate, according to Brlllat Savarin. belongs to all the seven ages of man and with normal persons it is universal. Imagine a never- smiling human being, and you must assume that he is either a physical or a psychological eccentricity, or both. The Greenpolnt youngster who shot himself in Central park, Manhattan, and died a few hours later, is said to have been known among his schoolmates as "the boy that never smiled." He could work, he could study, he could think. He appears not to have been without affection. Yet suicide at the age of sixteen was the climax of a tort of abnormality which science never had #an opportunity to analyze or classify. The child that never smiles demands scientific attention. In this rather Jumbled up universe occasions for smiling are everywhere. Breaks in symmetry are everywhere. An eye that does not see, a mind that does not comprehend such breaks, is unusual enough to be made a study of for the TQlfinaTe benefitoTtherest of the race. Napoleon was the greatest egotist of history. He was not disposed to give credit Unduly to other people. Vet he wrote of his mother: "It is to ray mother, to her good principles, that I owe my succerrs and all I have that is worth while. I do not hesitate to aay that the future of the child depends on the mother." All through life he ordered his brothers and sisters around, and paid slight heed to rela tives of any sort. Yet he always treated his mother with respect, and she in her turn never lost her head, bu' thriftily laid aside resources for the days of adversity which she saw were bound to come. This influence of mothers is inevitable, sayB the Kansas City Star. The father is away from home a large share of the time. It Is to the mother that the child turns. She it his closest companion for the first few years of his life. In all the period when his habits are forming he is constantly in association with her.

Until Michigan has a "blue sky" law, the Northern Development Co. or any similar organization will not be able to obtain leases from the public domain commission of state landB to be used for oil prospecting. Secretary of State Martindale has refused to sign the leaseB. He said that he with other members of the commission had discovered that practically the same officers composing the present corporation seeking leases had recently issued a prospectus in which stock was offered for sale in a similar company and in his opinion the only value there was to the stock was based on certain leases the company has acquired. „:, The commission was afraid that if granted the leases the development company, now^cxpitatized~ar~tttr,00u7" would proceed to Increase its capitalization and other stock for sale, the value based solely on the leaseB obtained from the state. This is what the domain commission has been trying to avert, and at the last minute made the discovery that led to refusing the leaseB. Despite reports to the contrary, members of the public domain commission have refused to annex their signatures to leases giving the development company the right to prospect for oil on 135,000 acres of state land in several counties in the state. It is astonishing how prosperous we jahould be if there were no waste and flosses. We are now told that cattle ticks cost the country 9100,000,000 a Year. If we remember aright, the de- .partment ot agriculture has told us that rats coat us at much as that, and ^several other varieties of vermin and 'injurious Insects rob its of as much or larger sums.

Battle Creek May Buy Coal t< The city council of Battle has sent Aid. W. N. Dibble, a former coal dealer, to Buffalo* to Inspect coal offered by the Scully company, of Detroit, at $6.90 (egg) and $7.15 (chestnut), a ton, delivered in Battle Creek. If the coal is satisfactory, Dibble has full authority to buy 25 carloads, for Immediate shipment, and the city will enter into the coal busines. The council was not unanimous in sending Dibble. The coal dealers, who are selling at $8.75 and $9, don't like the innovation. When the city recently asked them to explain why they had to charge such prices, they balked. This balking did more to influence the aldermen to buy and sell coal than any of the arguments that had been presented. Mrs. Catherine Burshaw, aged 93, was burned to death in a Are which destroyed her home in Petoskey. The sale of Red Cross stamps in Port Huron netted $370, of which amount $166.50 will bo used in forming a local society. A number of business men have offered to support to a proposed movement here to build shacks and better care for tuberculosis patients. MAJ. W. V. JUDS0N Jas. A. Patten Held to Trial. By upholding certain disputed counts against James A. Patten and others, charged with a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law in running a so-called cotton corner, the supreme court of the United States sent the case against the men to trial in the lower courts. The decision of the court is to the effect that a "corner" in any commodity is a violation of the Sherman law. Patten is the former wheat king.

"Mr Clyde," he said, wtth no more amotion than he might have exhibited had I told him I wished him to sell for me a Chinese bronze on commission, "Mr. Clvde, I do not see, exactly, why you come to me."

You must glVe the names and the places and the dates.** r -did give him the names and the places and the dates. Mow Chee had toW toe I could rely upon him, Implicitly, and I told him all, without reservation. I gave him even the letter, the only one of the three that remained to us—the last letter in which the final threat was made. At I look back on it, now, I cannot understand why I did this.. It was the only piece of proof, the only clue left And yet, when he asked to Keep it for a little, I consented without so much as a demur. I ,ajgued, I suppose, that he was a reputable merchant, with an established business, and that, therefore, treachery on his part was not to be considered. "And your friend," he said, aB he folded the paper, "was never In China?" '«N*v*r," I affirmed., "How do. you know?" "He has told me so." It was neither a smile nor a sneer which floated for just a moment across those sphinx-like feature*. It was a look of pitying tolerance, a patronizing gleam, merely, from the small, deeptat, almond eyes.

CO., tention was on the swiftly moving brush of the little Chinese maid, as, deftly handled, it now blocked out with bold black strokes a silhouette upon the piece of rice paper before her—a familiar silhouette of a short, clumsy curved boat with broad lugsail. CHAPTER X l i . "We Were in Peking Together." At my evening conference with Evelyn Grayson, reviewing the day's events, I dwelt with some insistence upon the singularity of that episode at Yup Sing's. "It was Impressively significant," I maintained, "even if it was only a coincidence. Incidentally it convinced me .that nothing escaped Mr. Yup's observation. I had no intention of referring to my discovery. I chose rather to have him think I had not noticed the figure the child was painting. But my choice was not to be gratified. He knew that I had seen and noticed it; and so, to relieve the situation, he frankly directed my attention to the symbol, explaining that what I had regarded as mysterious was most commonplace. 'It is one of the first things that Chinese babies learn to draw,' he went on, 'it is like the pothook and hanger of the American primary schools. First they draw houses, then ships, then men; and the houses, the ships and the men are all alike, just as are your A's, your B's, and your C's. 'And when signed to a letter,' I queried, 'what does your ship stand for?' He shrugged his lean shoulders in a manner almost Gallic. "Who shall say?' he returned." "And do you believe the pothook and hanger explanation?" Evelyn asked, pointedly. It was her way to probe at once to the heart of a matter. "I can't say that I am altogether convinced," I answered, non-committally. 'In spite of Mow's enthusiastic encomium, I was not very favorably impressed by Yup Sing. His wall of reserve is too high and too thick, It is neither scalable nor penetrable. And yet he stands' well; I believe, in the community." We sat in the music room, where a fire of drift wood wove a woof of "green nrrd violet strands through the red warp of the blaze, for the weather had turned chill. Evelyn wore a clinging gown of black panne velvet, with purple orchids at her waist. It had a wonderfully mature Effect for one so young as she, but it was not unbecoming. Indeed it effectively accentuated the deep ,raw gold tints of her hair and added to the transparency of her unwonted pallor. I was marvelling once agfiin over her outwardly brave upbearing in spite of the constant anxiety of which, pallid cheeks were the only visible sign, when she said: "I was sure we should hear from Captain MacLeod today." "He has probably met vlth rough weather," I consoled. "It isn't, child's play rounding Point Judith 11 this season, you know." "Rough weather or not," she insisted, "he must have reached Gloucester by now. And if he found I eter Johnson, or if he didn't, he was to telephone* you remember." "Gloucester Is something of a place," I explained ,^ adopting the vernacular. "It includes no less than eight villages and five thousand men are engaged there in the fishing Industry. MacLeod can't be expected to learn in five minutes whether a man named Peter Johnson is one of the five thousand." "But the whole community would know if one of their number had such an experience as he Just passed through." And for this argument I had no answer ready. Fortunately, however, none was required of me, for at that moment steps were audible crossing the hall, and when our ayes turned downward tb*y encountered the dapper figure of Louis, Cameron's French valet, baiting respectfully on the threshold. "Mademoiselle." he said, bowing, "mais void das lettres qui Jal trouve." And we saw, then, that he carried a tin despatch bos. Evelyn directed him to place it upon the table by whloh she sat. It seemed that she had" not given over the Idea that the letters for which we had searched so diligently on Sunday were somewhere In the house, and had directed Louis to bring to her anything in the way of writing that r*st/oa Doyarg street. ,<€*»• **> nine he could lay hi* tends upon. ft <•* •:/•• # / 4. /From my pocket Ldfvw on* tb«<*opy of the afternoon paper, and pointed to ^ the artiets^b<mtth»CiUiiUal and t*>* j —Da ye* suppose that omaeVaav*T' bearing on thsj '4" matterr • ' .

I verily believe he would willingly have suffered martyrdom to serve her. As he withdrew we fell avidly upon the contents of the box, yet with small hope of finding what we sought; tor the letters it contained were all, apparently, of distant date; letters, for the most part, of a private, personal nature, carefully assorted, and arranged in red-taped or elastic-banded bundles. It was no more Idle curiosity which impelled us to read many of thorn. We were in a position which may best be described as anomalous, Though Cameron was my dearest friend 1 knew little of his life prior to our meeting, and Evelyn, his niece and ward, was scarcely less uninformed than myself. In the letters just brought to light there might, we decided, be found some clue of incalculable service in the task now before us. And so we untied the tapes and stripped off the bands and set ourselves to careful painstaking examination. Seldom have I engaged in a labor so deadly uninteresting at one moment and so keenly engrossing at the next. There was correspondence here which meant nothing to us whatever, and there was correspondence which threw a search-light upon portions of Cameron's career, baring good deeds and follies alike, without discrimination. It was only natural, I suppose, that we should dig up a romance—a gem of luster shining amidst dun, sordid surroundings. Evelyn and I came upon two of its facets, simultaneously, and paused,in our work to question its disposal.'It seemed to us a holy thing, too sacred for a strange touch, and, even at the risk of passing over what might prove our one agent of revelation, we folded it away again with a sense of guilt at having dared to lift even the corner of the veil. For a full hour I had scanned one letter after another in absorhed in" tentness. but with small profit. Evelyn, across the table, had been quite as busy. Rarely had we interrupted our employment, with exchange of words. But now the writing which I HterdTxrovoked-excrftmatteft. "Addison!" I cried, so sharply exiting the silence that the girl started. "Addison! Rid you ever hear of him?" She gestured a negative. "Not that I remember," she qualified. "Why?" "Because we must find him," I declared, a little excitedly, I imagine; for the letter seemed wonderfully important. Instantly she was all alert. "What is it?" she asked, springing up and coming to my side. "What have you found?" "Look!" I commanded, the sheet of paver *.n one upraised hand, a finger of nr* other hand pointing to a passage. "Look! In 1903, your uncle Robert was In Peking; and yet he gave me his word that he had never visited China." Resting an arm on my shoulder and bending forward she read for herself: "Jdst to think! We were in Peking together and neither of us was aware of It until too late! What a foregathering we missed! Even five minutes' chat would have been something; but I no sooner saw you, than the crowd on Legation street swallowed you up." "Have you read it all?" "Not to the end," I told her, "Just the beginning and the signature. Come," I added, "we'll read it from first to last, together." It was written from Cairo, and bore date of December 7, 1903. "My dear Cameron," it began, "I am wondering whether ycu are back In New York again. However, you will probably be tfeere- ierCbristmaa and therefore this letter wuhaot-long await yon. We have been making a rather leisurely tour of the «aat Arrived here two days ago and shall remain until some time in January." The writer then gave a general outline of his travels. "Yon will probably be surprised to learn that once yon and I passed each other as ships in the night, save only that we did not even speak each other In passing," he went on. "It was my last day—indeed my last hour—in northern China. Otherwise I should have mad* search for you. Just to think! W« were In Peking together, and neither of us wae aware of it until too late. What a foregathering we missed! 8v*n five minutes' chat would have been something; but I no sooner saw you, than the crowd on Legation street swallowed yon up. Half an hour later I was on the train for Tientsin," The rest of the totter was rather confusingly personal in its reference* to mutual friend* and interest*.

"Several is Indefinite. Too Indefinite. Too Indefinite. Suppose wc have him in here and find out exactly. Possibly be knows Mr. Addison." When Louis came, however, be knew nothing. lie had never heard of a Mr. Addison or of a Mr. Addison Something, in all the three years and eight months of his service with Mr. Cameron. So Evelyn thanked him once more in her own gracious way and we continued ouzvwork, directing our efforts especially now to unearthing further Addison-signcd letters which might prove enlightening. "Why hhould Fnclo Robert tell you he had nrver been in China?" Evelyn asked me, looking up suddenly and dropping to lur lap the letter she was at that moment examining. "I can't understand that." "Nor I," I admitted. "If I had asked him out of idle curiosity he would have been jusMlled perhaps in misleading me; but he must have known that it was in his interest I made the inquiry." For just a moment she sat in silence, her narrowed gaze on the glowing embers in the fireplace. Then she turned to me again. "Do you think. Philip, it was bocause he iiad something to hide?" she asked, seriously. "Something lie was ashamed of and feared might become known?" Instantly I sprang to my friend's defense. "No," I assured her, with emphasis. "No, Evelyn. Whatever his molive was, I am satisfied it-had no dishonorable basis. If he told mo a deliberate falsehood it was not to spare himBelt'. Possibly—yes, probably, it was to shield others." I was perfectly sincere in this, but even had I believed otherwise I should have been tempted to prevarication could I have foreseen my reward. Hefore 1 quite realized her purpose Evelyn was out of her chair, had slipped over behind me, and encircling my •-neck with her arms, had pressed her llpfr-sqftly to my check. "Oh/lrow glad 1 am to hear you say that! YouS<ievo in his bigness—in his nobility, just-^3 I do, don't you, Philip, dear?" \ . —"I'm mire h<: could~JH*ver-^have been Euilty of anything dishonorable/.'^1 declared again, imprisoning her hitrrtl^.

"Voila, mademoiselle!" he exclaimed, delightedly. "Je vlcns de trouvant co livre." It was a hock of addresses, and the valet, nervously turning the pages, put his finger upon the name of Horatio Addison, M. IX, with the air of one who had discovered buried treasure. I am Inclined to think that we were ourselves almost as demonstratively elated'as he, for though we could not be sure that this was Cameron's correspondent, the odds certainly favored that conclusion; and unless' the physician had died or moved away since the entry was made, we were now in possession of his address, which chanced to be an apartment house on Madison avenue^that I knew to be given over entirely to doctors' oflice*. v - This time Evelyn assured Louis that he was not merely a* "good boy" but as Incomparable assistant, and the richness of the reward came nign to totally wrecking his composure, for, a* he started to back from the room, 1 detected unmistakable tears glistening on bis lashes. ^.

"Let's play the game ot 'Truth,'" said Marjory, as she poured the coffee from her new percolator. "I thought this society was formed for the purpose of discussing topics of the day and not for frivolous pursuits," declared the lofty browed, spectacled Imogene. "Well, it was," put in Amy, "but we needn't be intelligent every second of every meeting." "Perfectly right," said Inez. "We've sifted the tariff question, immigration, municipal ownership and the child's welfare this afternoon. If we argue any more there won't he anything left for next week's meeting." "I don't know how to play 'Truth/ I never heard of such a game in Bucyrus," said Bernice, the visiting girl. "Well, all you do is Just to tell every girl here exactly what you think of her," explained Edith. "You must tell her good qualities and her bad qualities. But it must be the plain, unvarnished truth, Irrespective of anybody's feelings." "Oh, I couldn't do that In a million years/' gasped Amy. "I think you are all perfect dears." "But everybody plays 'Truth,'" declared Marjory. "It's fascinating. Besides, it's good for any girl to learn her faults. Some great philosopher said, 'Know thyself.' I forget who he was, hut he said it, anyway. And none of us will get angry, no matter what is said, will we, girls?" "No, indeed," returned an emphatio chorus. "We are too broadmlnded for that." "Come, Helen, you begin the game," suggested Marjory. "All right, I'll start with Inez," assented Helen, without hesitation. "Inez, you have a sweet, lovely disposition, and you are lots of fun, but you have no idea of style or dress. It's a pity. Amy said only yesterday, 'How can that girl wear that impossible white polo coat when she is so fat and dumpy?'" "Why, Helen, how dare you say such a thing?" demanded Amy, indignantly. "I never said that!" "You know you did," calmly answered Helen. "It isn't kind to make fun of one's physical imperfections," declared Inez, haughtily. "I did'nt dream that my dearest friend would do so ignoble a thing. I'll never forget it." "You know, Inez, we promised at the beginning that we wouldn't get angry," said Marjory, putting her arm around the offended one. "I'm not angry. No, indeed. Not at all. F&r from it. But I'll have to be going. Goodby." And as Inez left she slammed the door behind her,— "Who will tell me the truth?" inquired Edith, breaking the silence. "I will," eagerly offered Imogene. "You are a stunning looking girl, but you can think and talk about nothing except dress and men. You are man crazy. It's absurd!" "Well, thank goodness, I'm not always quoting Latin that ^nobody cares about or understands," snapped Edith, "My brother said last night, 'Preserve me from that walking bookshop.'" ' Imogene opened her mouth to speak, then closed it firmly and held her hands over it. "Will some one tell me something?" begged Bernice of Bucyrus. "I'm not easily offended. I think this game is awtully cute." **If you really want me to, I'll say that if you didn't whine so and if you wore your skirts shorter and your waists longer, and if you combed your hair in 1911 style, instead of 1492 fashion, and if you didn't say 'How cute!' a dozen times a minute, yon might make a presentable visiting girl," vouchsafed Edith. "Oh, water, please—I'm faint," gasped Bernice of Bucyrus. "Now I'm going home to mother." Then Marjory was told that she wasn't sincere because she was too sweet to everybody, and Helen was faformed that she bad no tact and that she wasn't amiable enough to be popular. When the last girl had departed Marjory rushed into her mother's room, threw her arms around her mother's neck and promptly burst into tears. "Our club has disbanded," Bhe sobbed. "Every girl is angry at every other girl. "I haven't a friend in the world. My heart is broken. OH, that horrible, horrible. game! Why doea anybody ever tell the truth?" Found Riches In Australia.

PLUMMET*.) to the storm cloud From early times there has been a belief that certain trees more than others are likely to be struck by lightning. The elder Pliny said: "Lightning never strikes the laurel." This tree was also called bay, and wreaths of Its leaves were worn by ancient rulers both as a symbol of victory and as a protection from the lightning of the gods. Seneca and Plutarch held a similar belief, which may be traced down even to modern times, but the theory as now held includes a number of trees, different in various countries. This belief was so firmly established that such trees as the beech, locust, holly, olive, walnut, birch, elder, mistletoe and llve-for-ever, supposed to be effective in warding off lightning, were placed near dwellings. To this day there are many who still InBist that the beech is never struck, while in parts of the United States the aspen is considered Imjnune from lightning. On the other hand, it was believed that such trees as the oaka, particularly cork oak, had a very bad reputition for attracting lightning, and this belief prevails even now. There is a proverb: ""Avoid the oak, -flee-from-the spruce^ but seek the beech." And also: "Beware the oak, it draws the stroke. Avoid the ash, it courts the flash. Creep under the thorn, 'twill save from harm." Natives of South Africa have said regarding the mopane tree, which 1B often struck, "Lightning hates it;" but they say that the morala tree is never touched. The Portuguese share this belief. There was once a widespread belief in Europe that conifers were almost immune from lightning, but records Yellow Pine, Arizona, Completely Shattered by Lightning. made there showed that conifers rank third in liability to stroke. The persistent popular .belief regarding immunity of some trees and liability of others have given rise to the following theories regarding treat tooit likely to be struck: 1. TaJl jfrrees; Becauta they reach high .toward the electrically charged cloud, arid therefore lessen tha distance with the flash must traverse through the dielectric (air). Such trees are coneelvad to be a part of the earth, extending upward and inviting the stroke. 2. Treat with pointed crowns: Because they invite, to their one apex, a tingle full-pressure flash. Trees with rounded crowns, favor tha diffatfoa ¢1 tha **ttttato»a spaay. a. Treat with pointed leaves: Because static electricity lumps moat easily to and from pointed terminate. 4. Treat with smooth or shiny leaves: Because a smooth surfaoe invitas flashes, while a hairy or woolly surface, presenting a multitude of flat polnta, favors diffusion. I. Treat with deeply grooved bark: | Because bark deeply grooved longitudinally guides tha current to tha ground, aad- because tat moist septaaaaof tha fletnree> ' T T ^ f q m * |aoJatf4;. Jtoetate they are t M only marka for the flash end afeaV'V^aUtaatt^kav?***' ** '' * *'' ''' 1 Treat m bigh groend they are nearest strata. 8. Trees on damp soil: Because the moisture nfakes a good contact between the tree and the earth. 9. Trees deeply rooted: Because the long roets give a better grounding and finish a more direct path to deeper and moister earth strata. 10. Trees with dead branches: Because they present alluring points. 11. Trees whose wood has high electric conductivity: Because the flash will select the path of least resistance. 12. TreeB whose tissues are. composed mostly of longitudinally arranged fibers and other elements: Because this arrangement would favor the transmission of the electric current. 13. Trees rich in starch: Because starches and Bugars are better conductors than OIIB, resins and waxes. But years of careful study and experimenting show that any kind of tree is likely to be struck by lightning. /^ In temperate climates thunderstorms, with lightning, occur most commonly during the summer usually In the afternoon. In the United States they are four or five times as frequent east of the Rocky mountainsxr^est; omitting from consideration parts of Arizona and New Mexico. This is due, as explained later, to the generally mountainous condition of the west. Lightning is most frequent In Florida and Illinpis. In Cuba severe thunderstorms are rrequent, and treeB are often struck and killed. The pine only is reported ignited. Lightning is extremely rare in Alaska, and no forest fireB are known to have resulted from it. It does not follow that the trees most liable to ignition by lightning are the ones most responsible for forest fires. While in general one species may be more inflammable than another, the degree of inflammability varies with the locality and season. The tree most often struck and ignited in the west is the western yellow pine, which grows in open, park-like stands, where the fire hazard is Email. A tree may be set on fire by lightning and burn for days without the flames spreading to other trees or to the ground, and if the latter be free from litter, as is often the case In western yellow pine forests, the chances of the Are spreading are small. It is probable that the majority of forest fires caused by lightning striking trees is due to the presence of dry duff, humus or litter at the base of the tree. Another possibility is that some forest fires are started by lightning striking the ground and igniting the soil cover.

"Lungs inactive, heart insipid, brain torpid," reported Dr. Philetus Derringer, and he tapped his patieyt, Thomas Maltby, three times and made a mental note of a fifty dollar bill for his advice. "Humph!" observed the wealthy old bachelor—"generally laty, eh?" "Worse than laziness, my friend," responded the notable physician gravely. "Your late suppers, lack of exercise and indolent ways generally have j a whitehead and eat—why, that mogrouoiLj Wt9*lte^&*grf,he*lAt arouaf to tha kttfcherf andhras given a .treat Alice., at bread aatt butter.

"It's great!" he oJpcUad, aa ho rolled onto the trundle? bed that nitfht, healthily tired out for the first time ia ten years. Inside of a week Thomas Maltby had forgotten the club, late dinners and his automobile. The "boys" went fishing, swimming. They played one old cat,- mumbiety-pea;, bi-apy. They got up big healthy appetites. Tttomaa cherished two "mlba," a glass alley and a "faisle" agate with more pride that he had a 11,000 profit on the stock exchange. "It's famous," he told an august comrade, an astronomical student, foi the time being a frisky, delighted lad. No more dizzy spells; I canvrun like lasses cake and those flapjacks take me back 30 years and make life worth living." On one side of the resort was a high brick wall. Strolling near it one day Thomas caught a tennis ball that came over its top. There were feminine cries of distress. Then a ladder top . appeared.- Peering over It wat a fair, mischievous face, half hidden la a quaint childish sunbonnet. yoa tee the ball, Mattie?" askbelow, you, boy," called out the 3h Mattie to the astonished ias—"toss that lost ball over will you?" ten Thomas found out that the Ik wall enclosed the domain of Prof. Gregg, who superintended 'girls'department" of the juvenile [venation system.

"Yes, and won a splendid wife and a comfortable home through tt all," declared Thomas. "We live next door to a glorious family with 11 children, and we're all just like kids.

Turkey's decision, as indicated by dispatches from Constantinople, refusing to cede Adrlanople and the Aegean islands, it is believed will lead to the resumption of hostilities within a week. The Balkan allies, after considering the whole situation among themselves decided to wait until the middle of next week for. the answer of the Porte to the joint note of the powers, and if then the reply was not received or was unsatisfactory, to address a communication to the Turkish delegation in the form of a definite ultimatum, allowing Turkey 48 to 72* hours for a final decision. Should Turkey at that time be unable or unwilling to come to the allies terms, the Balkan plenipotentiaries decided that a rupture of the peace conference was inevitable. Sofia, Belgrade and Cettlnje would denounce the armistice and four days later the war would be resumed. All Support Bulgaria* The allies do not admit, or to be more exact, do not see the possibility of such proposals from Turkey or the powers as would allow of a resumption of negotiations! unless the Porte openly declared its readiness to give up . Adrianoplef So far, the instructions of the Bulgarian delegates do not admit of a discussion of a proposal that Turkey retain Jidrlanople, even dismantling the fortifications or conditions of peace leaving the question of Adfianople to be disposed of last. Servia, Monfengro and Greece all support Bulgaria in this attitude. The success of Bulgaria would mean an easier accomplishment of their wishes, especially in the case of Greece which in the conquest ©1 Adrlanople by Bulgaria sees the Greek occupation of Saloniki less likely <to be disputed. In addition, the -allies feel that the time will never be more favorable for tbem to act. TurkAjrmy In~<Fcolv5ftape. It is evident that the Turkish' resources are not in the best of condition, while on the other hand the allies, as the result of their long preparation, are nerved to a high pitch. The seven weeks' armistice has restored their armies and .they have been gathering their forces at ;the .Independent points. Throughout all the Balkan states, according to the plenipotentiaries in London, from the largest towns tto the humblest hamlets -only one -cry goes up: "War to the bitter end—until «our eternal enemy is driven out off JKnrope forever." Judge Robert W. Archbald of the eonunerce court was voted guilty of graft by the United States senate, sitting as &• court of impeachment This means his expulsion from office and that he never again can hold any office of public trust or honor in this nation. There were 13 articles of impeachment sent by tbe house of representatives to the senate to be voted on separately by the senators. It was only necessary that the accused be found guilty on one charge to expel him. Thus when the first vote was announced his fate had been sealed. A two-thirds vote was necessary on each ballot to sustain the charge then being voted on. .Archbald was found guilty on the firBt charge by a vote of 68 to 5. The impeachment proceedings against Judge Archbald were started early In 1912, when complaint was made to the interstate commerce commission, and later to Attorney General Wickersham and President Taft, that Judge Archbald had been concerned in influencing railroads to grant him certain favors in, connection with coal land deals, and the settlement of cases Involving coal properties.

CAVKHLV, Pub, FJNQS^SX. - - - ' YOUNGEST EUROPEAN CITY. Odessa is one of the youngest ot B|uroi>ea'n cities. Only 120 years ago. Hdji Bey, a little Turkish settlement, nestled ou the cliffs that overlook the harbor and dozed und.r the sultan across the Black sea, writes Sydney Adaimson in Harper's Magazine. The long uriu of Hussiu reached out and took it, and planted there, upon the plateau overlooking the bay, the beginners of a commercial city that now holds between 500,000 and 600,000. The revolution in France soon sent refugees scattering over the world, and noble names came to Odessa, and one may read them still on street corners —Daribas, Richelieu and Langeron. Later Englishmen came and brought ships to carry away Russian grain, and then the Crimean war swept across this friendly relation. But the English staid when the war had passed, and then Germany came, md afterward Americans, with reapers and plows and steam traction engines, to help the Russians to. grow more richly the grain that the English and the German ships carried out to the world. Last of all came the Jews, and they cut the business so fine thnt the English starved and gave up; so the business of exporting today is mainly in the hands of the Jews. A few hardy Germans and English are left. The Mercury de France has been making some inquiries as to the respective popularity of the various modern languages in the schools of Europe, and it finds that French is still far ahead of all competitors. It says that in England German finds less and less favor, and that pupils who have at/y optipn in regard to a modern language always choose French. in France, however, since 1870, German has perhaps secured a preponderance over English in the Lycees, says the Westminster Gazettre. In Germany the study of French has progressed to the detriment of English, but the government has intervened in order to develop the teaching of English, which it regards as of great Importance in commercial matters. French 1B now taught in Italy more than ever before, but German Is also gaining some ground, especially in the north. In Spain "F-rench-h** more-pupila. than any other foreign language, and English comes next. The passion for censorship seems to be on the increase It may properly be considered as a by-product of the NEWS FROM THE STATE BASIC 8YSTEM OF T R U N K LINE STATE ROADS TO BE B U I L T BY CONVICT LABOR. B I L L FOR STATE WIDE PROHIBITION COMING UP. The Session of the Legislature Is Now Growing More and More Interesting to the People Each Day. I By Gurd M. Hayes.] William H. Allsweed, national progressive senator from the twentyfourtli district, will be the good roads advocate of the present session. His ideas on the need of good highways are a little advanced of even the average enthusiast on good roads and his scheme for a basic system of trunk line state roads is attracting attention and general commendation. lie has been busy for some time preparing measures to pave the way for a system of Michigan trunk line highways. He has the plan worked out and is now getting bills ready for introduction to put them into execution. His scheme calls for three trunk line highways in the lower peninsula. One of these is the Western Michigan lake shore line project to extend from Niles to Mackinac, another is a central north and south line on the meridian and another across the state line from Detroit to St. Joseph. Another project calls for an upper peninsula road. The idea is to construct this 1,000 miles of state road, using convict albor and drawing upon half the automobile tax to cover the expense. He claims it will cost about $2,000,000 and can be completed in two or three yean. Changes In Compensation. Important changes in the workingmen's compensation act are advocated by Senator Frank James, of Hancock, in a bill introduced in the upper house. The changes have been approved by the labor leaders of the state and are well received by the members of the _legislatur-e-—One post office bill we have the first stages of a censorship of the press. There Is -also a censorship of the moving picture Industry, which will doubtless in time bo extended to the whole theatrical field. Already this is true in England, says Life. What is really needed, however, Is a censorship to suppress the truth. The truth is getting very bold In these days, and unless some measures are taken to curtail her activities, lamentable results will follow. The governor of Michigan urges a sort of church uniform dress for women, plain and inexpensive, which all can wear. So guileless a theory ought to be followed up by a proposal that horse races should be conducted with a view of affording artistic enjoyment by the easy grace of horses, with all betting eliminated. change provides that no compensation shall be paid for an injury which does not incapacitate the employe for more than one week. Under the present law the limit is two weeks. Another provision sets forth that compensation shall begin growing paternalism on the part of on the eighth day after the —ear- government. -In the -newspaper:\ 1 njuryr instead ot 15 day's", as under A great joke was played upon President Hadley at the recent banquet ft* the Harvard football team by th#\Jtat> ton alumni.

Governor Favors Suffragists. Governor Ferris gladdoned the hearts of the suffragists of this state when he declared at the annual meeting of the Michigan Equal Suffrage Association that he was absolutely in favor of their cause and that he would do everything In his power to assist them when the constitutional amendment is submitted to a vote in this state again. The democratic chief executive declared to the women that victory would come to them either at the n « t election or in some rteti* *© ttltfW. prsssia the belief that be possible for him te take the stump In their behalf, owing to pressing duties in the executive office, Governor Ferris informed the delegates that they could call On him for assistance in any other way. Contests AH Settled. All ot the contests in the house and senate reaulted In favor of the candidate! to Whom certificates of election had previously been Issued. However, the battle in the senate between SenatOi James McGregor ,the democratic member from Ypsialntl, and Frank Covert, the defeated republican from Ponttac, nearly reaulted in a fine little row. Many republican stalwarts came here to intercede in Covert's behalf, but the senate held that the intent of the voters was clear despite the apparent irregularities in conducting the election in one precinct, and by a vote of 22 to 9, McGregor was permitted to retain his seat Stenograph le Reports There ie a possibility that the proceedings of the Michigan legislature, including all the debates will be recorded by tteaograthers and that the report will be at complete at the congressional record at Washington, Son. ator Jama* Murths, tbe democratic noor leads* Introduce* a resdhition to make a eomplett report of the session, but Inserted A provlatoato the-effect thai no ^utfttfeerew^ attaches ootid be read tat* the record. State WWe Prohibition. Despite the fact that many members were anxious to avoid It there ie every Indication that the liquor question will play a prominent pert in the deliberations of present legislature. Rep. Dunn of Sanalac county, Btarted the ball rolling when he introduced a concurrent resolution to be submitted to the electors of'Michigan'at the fall election in l e t 4 : providing for state wide prohibition. One of the great features qt tht* Dunn resolution is the unqualified support given the state wide prohibition movement by .the Michigan Anti-Saloon leagued Here tofore the league and the prohibitionists of the state have not worked in harmony, the league leaders claiming that prohibition was sought after, but was not practical. This year the leaders are evidently Inclined to the belief that the time is ripe for success and the league is willing to devote itself to prohibition for the whole state instead of confining its efforts to local option. The method of submitting the matter as an amendment to the constitution is deemed to involve more work but if successful is certain to be more secure. In a long interview J. F. Burke, state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league commends the resolution and the state wide prohibition However, it is not expected that the Dunn resolution will have an easy time going through the two houses and it would not be surprising if the measure is killed outright. It is known that there will be strong opposition to it and it is doubtful whether the supporters of the stato wide prohibition movement will be able to muster two thirds of the upper house in its favor. Re-elected U. S. 8enator. United States Senator William Alden Smith has been re-elected by the republicans of Michigan to Berve another term of six years as one of Michigan's representatives in the upper house of congress. Party lines were closely drawn when the legislature ratified the primary vote. Each of the 74 republicans stood firmly for Senator Smith, the 40 democrats rallied to the support of Alfred Lucking, while the 17 national progressives voted as a unit for Theodore Joslin. Lucking's vote was the largest that any democratic candidate for United States senator in Michigan has received in a great many years. As a gejieral rule there is a top heavy republican majority in the legislature and democratic candidates for_ this henor-have stood little^or'no chancer When the final decision was rendered at the joint session Senator Smith was present and addressed the members. It was not so very many years ago that Senator Smith, then "Billy" Smith, was a page in the legislature, TWO WAIFS OF THE CARIBBEAN SEA THE BAROMETEB OF THE « OFFICE, THE**64NNe OF WHICH SH0W&. fESTER* CAWttA* ft •Vfc A . 1 * has been elected by the legislature to serve the people of Michigan as the United States senate. It is generally believed that a Michigan legislature has performed this function for the last time as it is the opinion of a majority of the lawmakers that United States senators will be elected by direct vote, before 1917 when Senator Charles E. Townsend's term expires. Repeal of Telephone Law. Some of the small, Independent telephone companies through the state have already learned that the celebrated Giles law, passed at the session of 1911, was not the peoples' measure it was painted. The public is awakeningvto the fact that some one slipped one over in the Interests of the telephone mergers, and the freezing out of the little companies, and Rep. John Schmidt of Osceola county haa introduced a bill for a repeal of the law. Schmidt says the little companies' have gotten the worst of the deal and he claims that the grange influence that was directed in favor of the Giles •":'- ago ^tf*y.j\ipnds for Ita repeal. Various Bids. Willie Gee of Jamaica is a verlUble "waif of the sea." Down where Willie lives the bathing Is always fine, and he "takes to water like a fish." While the old eteamer the Foxton Hall was plowing along near the, Windward passage Mate Donnelly eBpled a monster cocoa&ut tree, to which a human being was clinging. The being turned out to be a little ten-yearold Jamaican pickaninny, almost starved to death, but clinging to his dog, They had been blown 100 miles out to sea Jn & hurricane. Inequality Found in Parcel Post. Patrons of the parcel post in the northern part of the United States have discovered they are unable in all cases td send packages the full fifty miles prescribed as the extent of the first zone. This is due to the fact that a degree— of- longitude-, -ts considerably shorter in the northern than in the southern part of the country. The phenomenon has led to the complaint that parcel post patrons are being overcharged on first zone distances and to the suspicion that a mis- , . , take was made in the working out of r u n m n g - t h e ^ w ^ - i h e ^ n e m b s ^ of the house. For the second time he ^ho wever, itUh„a»t ^th e var,i«a*t<io n ii.s unavoiud - able and that no Injustice is involved. Power Firms Liable to Fines The state of Michigan, through the state railroad commission, is in a position to pick up about $100,000 a day in penalties from power and light companies in the state. Only 34 had filed tariff schedules with the commission, and all had been ordered to have their rates on file by Jan. 15. There is a penalty of $300 for disobeying this order of the commission and the law states that each day shall be considered to constitute a separate offense. U. S. interested In P. M.'s T r a i n . Postmaster General Hitchcock is g o - ing to take a hand in the proposal by the Pere Marquette railway to discontinue train No. 1, running between Detroit and Saginaw. If the Pere Marquette persists it may forfeit every mall-carrying.con>^>. tract It now has with the United States. The head of the postoffice depart* ment is known to take the stand that it is not proper for railroads, for the sake of escaping a temporary loss, to discontinue the operation of federal mail trains, - : It is further known that Postmaster General Hitchcock is of the opinion that railroads should not be allowed thus to disarrange the mail service on one route without being made to suffer on other routes. Many mail contracts are renewable about this.time and if the train in question, which carries heavy mails, is withdrawn. It is likely to affect negotiations as to other routes in the state. 25,000 Albanians 8laln by Serbs.

"The wishes of President-elect Wilson will be complied with," said Mr. Eustis. "The* committee will take official action later." Gov.

During the pastyear hundreds of new postoffices were established, many of them at remote points from the railway, but all forced upon the country on account of the new settlements that have taken place during the year. It ia said, of the Canadian government that in itsimmigration and settlement policy there is nothing left undone to take care of the people and their welfare, whether it be in the new town along a new line of railway or in the remotest hamlet This solicitude and care are not confined to the postoffice, but with every branch that hat to do with, organizing new districts. Bridges have been, built, roads con* structed, the district policed, and a dozen other things have to be done and are done. Is it any wonder that with the splendid land, the' high yielding land, the land that is free to the homesteader or open to purchase at reasonable prices from the railway and land companies, that the Canadian immigration records for 1912 will Bhow arrivals of upwards of 400,000, one-half of this being from the United States. The new literature being sent out by the immigration branch at Ottawa, and its agencies throughout the United States dealt with many of the new and interesting features that will mark the work of that branch for the year 1913.—Advertisement. i UNKIND INFERENCE.

I have reason to know it—& particular reason to know it." After all, how easily the information I craved had come to me! And yet I would have bean glad to hear.the contrary; for Cameron bad assured gne, in all solemnity, that be bard never been in China, and it jarred upon my conception of the man's character to discover that be had tried, to deceive me. I could only conclude that bis * " cs*h& - of individual* and vehicles. I was In a. carriage, myselfr and Cameron was afoot, walking in the opposite direction. As we passed eaah other, he did not seem to see me, though 1 called 0 film loudly; This, however, did noviuTprise in*, for there was an ungodly racket in progress. Instantly, I had the carriage turned about, but before I could overtake him, he was lost in the crowd. I was leaving Peking that afternoon, and so had no chance to look him up. I--wrote" him afterwards and told him of the incident, and how I regretted having to go away without exchanging at least a word with him, To my amazement he not only denied havinS ^ 6 1 1 i n Peking, but in.the Chinese empire at all.. When we met in London, the following spring, and I recalled the matter, asking "Why he had refused to admit what-1: knew to be the truth, he became icily indignant; and that was the beginning of the end. If I had conceded the possibility of mistake on my part, all might'have been well, I suppose; but there was no euch possibility. I had known Cameron for twenty-odd years, and I could not have made an error. I had seen him distinctly, clearly, at midday in the open. It was he beyond all peradventure, and from that time to this I have been unable to conceive why he lied to me, and why he choso to end our friendship rather than admit what was Indubitable fact." -His explanation finished, he reached for a pen, and, as he dipped it in the ink, he added: "I trust you will pardon me, Mr. Clyde. I have detained you." "You have interested me," I assured him. "And that more than I can tell you." Which was quite true; yet I was even more perplexed than interested.

I suppose Mr. Yup is to be trusted, but at the same time, you must remember you. are going into the enemy's camp, and you should be careful." But I laughed at the notion of taking a body-guard. "I'm to meet him at nine o'clock," I told her, "in a public restaurant. Besides, there'll bey a crowd* of those 'Seeing New York' people down there about that time, and Chinatown will be on its best behavior. So never fear, little girl. Do you want";me to telephone you when I get uptown? You know I'm going to stop tonight at my rooms in the Loyalton." "Of course I want you to telephone me," she returned, emphatically. "It shouldn't take you very long to hear what Mr. Yup has to tell, should it? I shall be expecting you to call me up between ten and half-past, or by eleven at the latest; so don't dare to go for supper first." "As if I could think of supper," I said, looking at her in a way I fwiL /'when I might be hearing your voice!" Could I have foreseen what tbe night was to bring forth I certaialy should have discouraged her waiting, for my message. But the power of provision is given to few of us, and of those few I am not one. Assuredly I had no misgivings as, after dining at the University club stepped. Intn an <kKV CHAPTER XIV.

She bad been in no mood to wait any longer4han was absolutely necessary for tidings of my visit to Br. Addison; and, moreover, she had news of her own which she was anxious to convey to me. I have often wondered why it is Chat the I-told-you-so passion is Inherent in all woxnftn. There are those who manage to control it with admirable success under average circumstances, but soooner or later, even the most courageous battlers against this maternal heritage succumb, and indulge in a sort of disguised orgy of reproach. Evelyn might have told toe, for instance, that Captain MacLeod, after careful investigation, bad been unable to discover either hair or hide of Peter Johnson in Gloucester or elsewhere, and stopped there. That is what a man would hove done, together admirable though wot* Wfc*t«vtr~Tt way »**• bees tft Hit pptt, t b « e > e d * i Cbtailmrn of Ifrii •««•—* to hit, •et^rardly at least, a reasonably law-abiding section of the borough of Manhattan. And was not 1 that night the guest of one of its most honored dtisens? What, there-^ fore, had I to fear? . On the contrary, as we turned from the Bowery into that little semicircular thoroughfare which is perhaps the most characteristic of Chinatown's three principal streets, I was pleasantly interested. This was quite a different place from that which I had visited the afternoon before. Then, a sort of brooding quiet reigned over what was so ordinary as to be scarcely distinctive; for that part of Mott street on which the Yup Sing establishment is located, I have since learned, is merely one of the gates of the iee into the" comparatively glowing radios of the street lamp opposite. I taw then that it was a man, thin to emaciation, round-shouldered, and crooked limbed. Whether some one jostled him, or a voice from the roadway startled him, I don't know. But for some reaaoa be turned his head sud4«s3r, and the lfght from the lamp foefl IW itfOtt a face, stubble-bearded, deep4toed^mdTe»«ll€nt, the jace not_ ot a Chinaman but of a white man; * tafce fhto which I had looked but twice, and then but for a brief moment; yet a face as indelibly nxid in my 'memory as were the grim fronts of the buildings now behind it—the face of Peter Johnson, tho pretended castaway. ter I should bo set upon, was nervous torment so hideous that in sheer despeitttlon I plucked my match box from my pocket, drew forth a match and straek it to a blaze. As It flared forth, routing the shadows in disorderly, if but temporary, retreat, I made quick searching survey of my dungeon. To my amazement I was apparently quite alone. Relieved, in a measure at least, I employed another match and still an- )ther, hobbling painfully about the rimy, low-oeiled basement, in diligent inspection. My first thought was that rohnson was In hiding, and having lo- :ated me by my own lighted matches, waited now only an opportunity to throw himself upon me from behind. But I very soon discovered that he had fled. Evidently he had retraced is steps up the rude ladder to the street, closing the doors after him to |check my further pursuit. The place into which I had followed liii was evidently a Chinese candy lanufactory and cake bakery. To the light of the entrance were rows of ^helves containing Jars of what 1 [ecognized as sweetmeats peculiar to is celestial. In a large bowl on a ^ough table or counter was the granutted flour with which these confec- I;ons are invariably powdered; und [ere, too, were boxes of roucd, jumbleike eakeB. I saw now that the apace Ipon which I had fallen was so restricted that I wondered how it was osBible for my quarry to have reaclithe steps and renscerided without >uching me or at least acquainting ie with hlB movement. And I maraled, too, that twisting my ankle as I d, 1 bad not plunged at a slant and ruck my head upon one or another the crowding tables and boxes with bleb Hie cramped basement was fur- Lsbed. My third match disclosed a narrow Dor in the broad partition at the rear, [id fancying thut perhaps the elusive eter Johnaon had escaped by that ieans while I was getting to my feet, [lost no time In seeking to investigate [hat was beyond. I waB somewhat surrised to find the door unfastened. Kice open, It revealed a Bmaller and \ore crowded room, warm and fetid, ^to which were packed no less than ilf a dosen barrels of raw and cook- |l peanuts, arranged about a low ?ve oc which a pcanut-fllled cauldron was slowly steaming. Curiously interesting as all this Would have been under ordinary circumstances, I experienced only a Burprised relief, for with my injured ankle 1 was in no fettle to cope with even the weakest adversary. Indeed, now that this easement was afforded me, my sprain suddenly asserted Itself with renewed exacerbation, sharp twin&es of pain shooting to my knee FARMER'S WIFE ALMOST A WRECK Restored to Health by Lydia £.

And, as misfortune would have it, I must needs catch my heel on the edge of one of the treads, and go sprawling on"my hands and knees; while a poignant pain shooting cruelly through my ankle told me that a sprain was added to myjalahap. For a minute I lay as I had fallen, prone and motionless; and in that space I realized the foolhardtneoi of my whole course of action. My very intrepidity had contributed to disaster. Instead of accomplishing a capture I had cast myself, disabled, into the. mesh of the. enemy. "" . The inky darkness and profound silence of the place augmented, of course,.my sWBenension.

Content ment enfolded me, which, if I thought of it at all, I attributed, I suppose, to the reaction from the agony which I had Just been suffering. I remember thinking that I would rest a few minutes and then take my departure as I had entered, for I realized that cellar doors are fastened only from within, and that there could, therefore, be no impediment to my going when 1 chose. I.distinctly recall that I was conscious of a crrtain strange incongruity of situation, but could hardly comprehend in Just what the incongruity con. srsted. I knew only that 1 ftlt pleasantly warm and drowsy; and my sprained ankle had ceased altogether to pain or annoy.

It was not remarkable that the story should be ona of finance; his position with the trust company gave him a knowledge of the theme and an acquaint* ance of many men.

And I did not know enough about it to write it up. The story is fiction." John entered*the station with an indescribable Irritation coursing through his veins. "I didn't know that Seabury could be so foolish," he muttered. His train did not go out for five minutes, so he made no attempt to pass the man who stepped out of the crowd to speak to him. "Hello, Falton, so you've been BcrlbbMng, I s#e." "A little," John admitted. Ha tried to forget Seabury and to act naturally. "Have you read it?"

I suppose you've known of more than one deal of that start?" —"None at all/' snapped Joan. "O, I thought you'd taken It from something that you'd got on to." "It's a story, fiction, every word." Forty minutes later John closed the door of bin home with a aigh of relief. -Mother," he called, and she came hurrying to him. "0, John, I've so much to tall you.

LINCOLN'S FAME FOREVER FIXED IN HISTORY i*.& • ) . ' ; • > • • ffi • . > , » ' ' • iv.. sir <i v< - E flood of orations and editorials throughout the land, in which t h e loved and honored name of Abraham Lincoln appears, has for many years passed be- ..fore our: eyes, and the reader of them tfs able to see what an immense fame the name of Lincoln has already achieved, and to what an extent the popular estimate of the man verges •upon hero worship, For if wo wuold know popular feeling concerning a great name, these public memorial addresses and newspaper editorials, for t h e most part attuned to the public pulse, are a better guide than the mora cautious andv unemotional estimates to be found In the works of the teat* .historians. The mass of the .people do not read the ponderous histories; they do read the newspapers and listen to the glowing periods of the popular orator on ceremonial or commemorative occasions. A' prominent western paper has declared that Uncola Is universally regarded a s "the one indispensable man* of the Civil war period. Rev. Br.

But Lincoln, however much he-may suffer-In the future from overpraise, Is still fortunately fljed on the stage of the world's past, and whatever reaction there may be, even in the minds of scholars, Is not likely to assume the dimension* of real controversy. Historians will never quarrel over him as they do over Cromwell and Napoleon, or even Jefferson.

Perhaps the reason »why- Lincoln will never arouse much controversy like these other towering historical figures is that the work he wrought and the cause he personified are less open to honest differences of opinion. For two centuries after Cromwell's head was hacked from his dead body and made a public show as a mock to his name, good men were sharply divided «as to whether the anti-monarchical cause in England had been in any way grounded in reason or Justice. Over the work of Napoleon men today violently differ, and centuries may have to elapse before a final cpnaeasus of opinion regarding him wtU b e 4 * possible. In Lincoln's case, the>att-| Port Huron.,— It is understood that Prank Schell of this city received 115,000 from the Detroit United railway for the loss of 'a-leg in an accident near St. Clair a year ago. Schell refuses to deny or affirm the report. It is known that he turned down an offer of $12,000 by the company and held out for a larger amount. Flint.—Charles F.

It is no disparageent of great men to say that tfteir amet come to represent far tHft than anything they actually were, is the flesh.

The injured man was struck over the temple from behind, a severe gash being cut in his head. He wandered about for nearly an hour in a dated condition before being able to notify the police.

IWISTRIAL BOARD'S GROWTH Tobai Of *,«44 Bmploysrs pperetlng vUnds^r Accident Insurance Law. That the state industrial accident aoard is fast, assuming large proportions is shown by statistics compiled by Secretary Drake. The figures show a total of 5,644 em-, ployers in the Btate operating under the act. These employers represent a total of 363,608 employes. The statistics prepared by Secretary Drake show that up to Jan. 13 there were 8,159 accidents ,in the state and i total of 2,946 settlements since the week beginning Nov. 30. Of the injured persons 7,591 were males and 208 females. The accidents classified are is follows: Fatalities, 168; amputations, 936; serious injuries, 2,708, and minor injuries, 4,347.

When I think i have them killed out some neighbor brings a lousy sow for breeding and aa % result there are plenty of lice left to stock the entire herd. Then 1 have to make a fight against hog J lice again. If the sows have only a few lice when the pigs are farrowed the entire litter will eoon be polluted with^lce. 1 have seen numbers of half grown lice on the pigs before they were a week old. ^ Last spring I mixed hog's lard and kerosene oil, about equal parts, and greased the sows with It about ten days before they were due to farrow, then in a few days I went over them again with the grease. This killed the lice out so there was not a louse found on the pigs from the time they were farrowed until they were weaned. Either the kerosene oil or the lard will kill the lice all right, but the kerosene by itself win irritate the skin and will soon evaporate while the lard will stay on the hogs for several days. This mixture will not injure the akin. I mnmsmm Mulh TN Csfl safely Buy Or.

Well oif, good looking, a first-rate sportsman, a favorite with men and women alike, the Fates spinning busily had smiled upon him at birth and had woven only gold threads in the woof of bis life* For years he had lived the life of the smart young man about town. Be had dene the same thing In the usual ?ay,'he,had been neither very good, tfor bad; in his own Words, the favorite words of British youth, he had always "tried to play the game." It was because he felt it incumbent upon him to ylay the game that he decided to tell the woman he waB going to marry of a certain newly closed episode in his life. The consideration that perhaps It would be aa well for her to-'hear the tale from him firsthand, instead of embroidered with lies on a foundation of truth, as she might hear It from some one else.gnay have counted for something, too. But the reason he gave himself aa he knotted his tie carefully before the mirror on the fateful morning of confession was that he "must play the game." "I hardly know how to tell you, dear/i'he began awkwardly, standing tall and, perfectly groomed on the hearthrug tbat afternoon. It's so difficult to speak to women—pure women, like you—about certain things, but the fact of the matter is, I've been, an awful rotter, Evelyn, and I feel It's up to me to own it. You're not marrying a saint, you know." The fair-haired woman In the big big armchair looked up at him sweetly out of innocent blue eyea: "Dear, I do know," she said gently. He moved uncomfortably. "But it's just what you don't know," he told her, "that I'm worrying about I'm not thinking of cards and racing, and things like that It's about women I want to speak to you. Especially one woman." He paused, and bit his lip nervously. "Ah!" said the woman Boftly, looking down, "She was a nice little thing," went on the man. "Not quite a lady, you know, but very pretty and all that. . . . Her father drank. She ran away from home. Hadn't a friend in the world when I picked her up, Only the streets in front of her. A good woman like you, Evelyn, can't realize what the horror of that means. . . . I took a flat for her." "Ah!" said the woman softly, looking down. "I lived with her more or less for three years,' 'went on the man, gathering courage from her passlveness. "She was very grateful for all I had done for her; she was really quite a nice little thing. Bat, of course, that's all-over and done with now. I settled up finally with her today. I shall never see her again. There was no reason for you erer to know, Evelyn, only that I felt it wouldn't be quite playing the game not to tell you." "What has beoome of the glrir asked the woman, still softly and still looking away. The man shrugged his shoulders. "Still in the flat, I presume," he said carelessly. "The rent is paid up till December." Hit voice became persuasive. He bent down so that his faee was very near the coils of fair hair wound smoothly round her head. "Don't let's talk about her any more," he urged. "It's aU finished and done with. Now, don't frown, but just kiss me, and aay yon forgive me." "You're a very naughty boy, Jack," said the woman reprovingly, but she let him wind her smooth white arms round hie neck* an he knelt beside her on the floor. IPhen if you promise never, never to do it again, I'll forgive yon,** ahe said prettily. He caught her, flushed and1 smiling to him fiercely. "My saint!" he breathed upon her mouth.

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 members of the legislative committee of Detroit 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 of 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. Harmon, chairman; Walter C. Woolley, William E. Roney, Homer Warren and Richard Q. Lambrecht. President Judson Bradway, Secretary E. B. Tyrrell and others participated in the conference. In reference to the attitude of the real estate board President Bradway 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 believe the least we can do is to Bee that it is given a chance in Michigan." "To repeal the mortgage tax law will simply make a let of liars and crooks 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 law 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 office show that since the mortgage tax law has been in operation, about 15 months, the aggregate value of mortgages on which the filing tax is paid has been increased to approximately three times what it was before the law became effective," says Secretary Tyrrell, of the real estate board. In the conference, Homer Warren pointed out that since the tax law has been in force, many persons have bought mortgages and that should the law now be repealed, considerable hardship would be inflicted on widows and: others, who have placed their funds in that form of security. \W It aw** be awftl to get into a tttHob «4 jCMnot* political reformers who ara baseball fans and listen to the*> oommente on the. new govern i**16 campaign ,jaaj».'*»< *h» latiprttoMOn of toe dssVf force* of Montcalm county .IBM* at t l * MUM time. ; * rV" A Kansas City saloonkeeper, » a 0 B«v»f bad a cash register but tract Ms bartender Implicitly, died iSttV B?8$»^j*V&4 Time for Recall, Says Martindale. In an address before the members of Capitol Orange, in LanBing, Secretary of State Martindale declared himself in favor of the initiative, referendum and recall. He said the time has passed in Michigan when the- politician can tell the people what measures are best for them. "I believe the time has arrived when the electors should have the right to recall any official who Is derelict in his trust of conserving their beat Interests," said Martindale. "and at any time when the legislative power does not respond to the demand of the people in regard, to the enactment of legislation essential to the conservation of their property and well being then I believe the people should have the right to initiate such legislation. "I do not think, however, that the initiative should be the usual way of promoting legislation, but it Bhould certainly be a means by which the people can secure deBired legislation when their represetnatives either refuse to act or are ignorant of the people's real needs.''

Short courses under the auspices of the agricultural college have been announced tor five hi^h schools. But even these courses do not seem to be sufficient, and Snpt. A. H, Clark, <tfi*iiN€ the Kingstey school has evolved 4? plan which, he believes, will hOjh> fll^t; the demand. Beginning with Februarytf 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 ne,eds. To start, stress will be placed upon those parts of chemistry, mineralogy, zoology, plant life, and physical geography 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 sohools 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.to 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 asserted that the state has not the rlght.to own and operate railroads. After some confusion the house reconsidered the Glasner resolution and then tabled it. A fight to take it off the table is said to be certain. wwifltr MJJUltS WurnUoLtll!

There Is a possibility that an attempt will be made during the present session of the legislature to repeal the law prohibiting the use o^ oleomargarine in state institutions. Secretary Marl T.

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. A rollicking farewell was given to the Tait administration at the annual dinner of the Gridiron club. , , At, the same time the club mem> bera 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 awatttog Preident- elect Wilson and his advisers were portrayed in the absurd funny fashion which originated with the Gridiron club. There were even an inaugural parade, and it was witnessed by a splendid array of cabinet officers, foreign ambassadors and others. i 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 bass drums was heard from behind the scenes and the fun was on.

By a vote, of 47 to 23, the Jfifftrkft. 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 (he 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 he 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. 2,000,000 Britons to--Strike for8 Hours.

'HockafeUert Jry spd^y^gave • out a atement expljlni*g»%|he «^J||p» work and plans of' that institution. .The bureau, he said, came into existence abcVt two years ago as a result of the work of a special grand jury ap-' pointed 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 eubject 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 laBtlng 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 organization would have, among other advantages, a certain freedom from publicity and from political bias, which a publicly appointed commission could not so easily avoid. "Therefor*?, as the initial step, in the winter of 1911 the Bureau of Social Hygiene was formed. Its present members are Miss Katharine Bement Davie, superintendent of the New York state reformatory for women at Bedford Hills, N. Y.; Paul M. Warburg, of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co,; Starr J. Murphy, of the New York bar, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. As the 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 Mies Davis' direction. In this laboratory it is proposed to „gtjudy_fjnm the physical, manlaC social and moral side each person committed to the reformatory. This Btudy will be carried on by experts and each case will be kept under observation for from three weeks to three months, as may he 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 ihat 1! us 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, and lead to lines of action not only more scientific and humane but also less wasteful than those at present followed•'*.. . 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 stodiee will be followed by others in various American cities, and it is the hope of the bureau that based upon aH of them, may be devised a practical plan for dealing with t i p social ovfl. In conclusion Mr. Rockefeller's statement saya: "It cannot be too strongly emphasisad 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 scientific as well as humane Interest in a great world problem " ' ed or the commission win .kentf ^ wmhurt yon M> fatt. vestlgatora to that «**, W c j i a r g e ^ ;» **» ?<*?*JM ?«? ^ettsy, .the fob* __ __ n «a4« that Saginaw i a t « ^ ^ garerwise, orYpslfs^Ncrmai, aadH ^ 0 0 0 *•** Le*tfing*,tlfb^h two?.!

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 hired a new* bell boy recently, and gave him the usual warning: •Remember," he warned, "if anything 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 boy, demanded to know the trouble.

And I myself possessed a certain degree of faith in feminine Intuition.

It Is now Saturday, November 14« If by this time Tuesday afternoon-we are not, at least, on the track of something tangible, I shall be on my way to Mulberry street." Sunday was with me a day of impatience. I fretted now at confinement, for my ankle was quite strong again, and I was perfectly well inother respects, too. But my physician had set Monday for hay first day out, and he refused to concede even a twenty-four-hour change of plan. But I chafed more even at the inactivity to which I had agreed concerning Cameron than at the confinement. All at once, I had become Imhued. with a necessity tor prompt and strenuous measures. Some awful thing. I knew not what seemed ominously imminent, i*nd remorse tore at me tormentingly. Early Monday, I telephoned Miss Clement for tidings of her progress, but she could only implore me to wait. She bail nothing to report, but she was encouraged.

And before I had read five lines I came upon-the name of Robert Cameron. If I was to believe this introductory paragraph, my friend was tc Crystal Consolidated what John D. Rockefeller was to Standard Oil, yet in the monthB of our intimacy he had made no reference to this connection; and, though I was thoroughly familiar with the "great glass trust," as it was called, and with the name of its multimillionaire master, strangely enough I had never connected the Cameron I knew with this Cameron, the Captain of Industry. "I am," he had said, in all modesty, "largely interested in a certain line of industrial enterprises." That was all. I suppose I should have known; and yet, "no prophet is without honor, save in his own country." The newspaper article I now read, however, left no room for doubt on, the subject; and, incidentally in a single sentence, revealed the secret of how Cameron had succeeded in escaping that general recognition which is usually the penalty of greatness. "He has never sat for a photograph." But, while this part of the article interested, that which followed startled and perplexed me: "Crystal Consolidated fell to 103 today," it went on, "because of a persistent rumor that Robert Cameron is seriously ill, in a New England sanitarium. The greatest secrecy has been maintained as to his malady and his whereabouts by those who are in a position to know. It has been ascertained, however, that after spending a quiet -ttmmer at his country place, Cragholt, on Long Island sound, near Greenwich, he started on October 21, on his fast steam yacht Sibylla for a cruise along the New England coast. Ten days later the Sibylla returned, but Mr. Caraeron^sMs not on board. "It is known^tbat he has been in ill health for months, and there are those who now declare that he baa sought the seclusion of an institution near Boston, his condition being critical. "Inquiry, today, at his Fifth avenue home in this city, and at his Connecticut country seat, was fruitless.

His name is Simms—Howard Simms— and he was interviewed at the Company's office. Didn't you see It?" I confessed that I had missed every evening paper but one. "It was he, I think," she went on, "who, becoming alarmed at Uncle Robert's long silence, mentioned It to some one,, who In turn spread the damaging reports." "Then he is a very incompetent private secretary," I commented, "if not, Indeed, a dangerous one. I shall make a point of seeing Mr. Simms as early as possible tomorrow. Tonight I am going to call on Tony Hatch—I have a nodding acquaintance with him—and assure him that when I last saw Robert Cameron less than a month ago he was in perfect health, and that I am satisfied he is not in any sanitarium or suffering from any mental or physical disorder. If he approves of tbe idea I shall give out a statement to the newspapers, implying that your uncle has gone on a -little journey of which his family are entirely cognizant, and that his return* may be expected almost any day, I think that ought to turn the tide in Wall street tomorrow. Meanwhile^ my dear Evelyn, continue to be 'not at home.'" But neither at his home nor at any of his clubs could I find Mr. Hatch, though I searched for him diligently until long after midnight. Evidently he was intent on evading the sleuth hounds of the press, and had successfully taken to cover. And then, Jpn my way back down the avenue, to the Loyalton, that happened which made all subterfuge, all tact, all dissembling, unnecessary. For on the sidewalk, opposite the cathedral, I found the best of answers to all the questions raised by tbe rumor monjgers—the animate^ refutation of every disturbing waif word. CHAPTER X V I I . Opposite ths Cathedral. Fifth avenue at two o'clock in the morning is fast asleep. There are localities in New York which are more widely awake at that hour than at any other time of day, but the highway of fashion is not one of them; and in the neighborhood of Fiftiefti street, its repose "is, as profound as at any point of its long, undeviatingly straight course. For over an hour I had waited in that sumptuous white marble club edifice of the plutocrats which ostentatiously punctuates the avenue at Sixtieth street, and, tired of sitting, nervous and disappointed, I had chosen to walk down to my rooms, believing that the exercise in the clear, frosty air would serve to counteract, in a measure at least, all three of these vexations. . To the limit pf sight there stretched away a double, converging chain of twin lights marking the curb line for endless blocks, and illuminating the nearer sidewalk and roadway, if not to effulgence, certainly with a clearly defining radiance. Now and then I met • a o.ulc*>tteppjmg pedestrian; usual ly in evening dress with cigar alight; and at more or less brief intervale limousined motors and taxlcabs with gleaming lamps sped by me at top speed. Once a hansom pasted, the sounding jarringly against the night silence. At Fifty-fourth street 1 cut diagonal- ^*i^ - ^ . . ly across the avenue to the west side, ? U i l 5 ? * f u r ? L w ! ! ! K 2 ^ 5 * H « * . eontrnulnr my^ way southward! {absorbed in the problems confronting me, had been for a little quite lost to encodrpassing objects. Then, suddenly tearing lest In my abstraction 1 should pass -the street on which mjM rooms wens located, I aroused myself to get an idea of my location. Across the way the grim facade of the Cathedral rising dark and »1100 as a fortress made an clear. But, on my own side of the areata there had been no such distinguishing mark. The brown stone, dwellings, monotonously {ugly. wttK their high stoops and bsluav traded areas, were no more enlightening than the stone ifestfa* of. the side* walk or the asphhlfof the roadway. Scores of blocks presented practically the same aspect as this. But at with crftical gene I measured one after another of these combinations t was air from intemperance. At closer view, however, I tempered my judgment. The possibility of illness or injury intervened, and I paused Samaritan-like to offer succor. The wayfarer was evidently a man of middle age, if I might judge from the contour of hie back, which was towards me, and I saw at once that he was struggling to keep upon his feet by sheer muscular handhold of the railing's iron uprights, for his knees were bent threateningly and his arms were extended and tense. Until I was cloBe beside him he gave no sign of realizing my presence. Indeed I think it was not until I spoke that he half turned his head towards me, and, for the first time, I got sight of his features. Whether or not I uttered a word, or made a sound, or stood for a long moment silent, I cannot say. I know only that I doubted my eyes and questioned my reason; for, if these were not playing me false, the profile thus revealed to me waB the profile of Robert Cameron. To try to set down in detail just what followed must be an idle effort, with fancy providing the bulk of the ingredients. Surprised, amazed, astounded even, are all too feeble terms to apply to my emotional condition. Dazedlyy I was floundering in what seemed a veritable sea of unreality. When the commonplaces began to readjust themselves, I was standing at the curb, my arm wound supportingly about Cameron's waist and, his arm pressing heavy on my shoulder. Drawing in to us was an empty hansom cab, provided by Providence, and hailed, 1 suppose, by me, though I swear I have no recollection of it. The cabman helped me to lift him in, and at this the pity of his plight smote me, tempering the Joy of having found him, and quickening within me a spirk of angry retaliation against his enemies For the man now at my side was far different from that man who had sat with me on the after deck of the Sibylla, only four weeks ago. He was, Indeed, it seemed to me little more .than the busk of the Cameron I had known. In facial conformation the chsAfe was not so marked, though his expression was pathetically at variance with anything I had ever before seen him wear. The lines of his face were drawn, as wi{h pain, and his eyes were dull to vacancy. He Iplied, REALLY NAMED FOR STATE Miwionippi ~R4ver Stcamerg Originated Cognomen That Has Now Become Universal. sieazily, in a crumpled heap in his corner, like a spineless manikin; and though I plied him eagerly with a flood of questions, he might have been a deaf mute for all the answers he accorded me. Once I thought he shook his head in negation, but I was later forced to conclude that this was involuntary, being caused by the roll of the Cab as one of its wheels encountered a depression in the roadway. Yet In Bplte of his sorriness of pres-' ence and demeanor—In spite too of the tormenting mystery of his return, which was scarcely less baffling than the mystery of his departure^—it was at least a relief to know that he was alive and out of the power of those that were bent upon his harm. Good nursing, coupled with skilful medical attention, had just worked wonders for me, and I was confident that it would do the same for him; and then we should have facts and not theories to aid us In our quest for the culprits, and, eventually, in the administration of justice jo, the guilty. I had given the cabman, the number of the Cameron house and admonished him to make all possible speed; so, the morning, greeted me with becoming imperturbalillty. I recognized him as one of the men from Cragholt, and called him by name. "Stephen," I said, with an effort to disguise the excitement with which my every pulse was throbbing, "your master is outside in a cab. He is very weak and will need assistance. Get another man to aid me, and then awaken Mr. Checkabeedy and Louis. And make haste. No, I can't come in; I'll wait outside." He turned away in obedience io my directions, but I checked him. "And, Stephen," I charged, "no word to any one else, as you value your position; especially no word to Miss Grayson." I marvelled at tho man's preserved unemotion. His "Very good, sir," was uttered with all the stolidity which marks a response to the commonplace; and yet I knew that he was fully conscious of the eventfulness of this late and unlooked-for home-coming. And the footman who joined me a few minutes later was not less well-trained. Together, he and I lifted Cameron from the, hansom and carried him up the broad flight of granite steps, between the massive guarding lions, and placed him in a great chair in the hall, before the wide, sculptured fireplace. And though this would probably prove the moBt exciting topic of the servants' hall for weeka to come, he gave not the smallest sign that he was taking part in other than the usual. Checkabeedy, the butler, however, though no leaf? perfect a servitor, was more privileged; and Louis, volatile as the most characteristic: of his countrymen, collapsed utterly, without effort, apparently, at any restraint whatever. The former's interest was evidenced in a commlseratingly lugubrious visage and a few blunt questions, but the Frenchman wept and sobbed in wordless sympathy. And I had it not in my heart to blame either, for a more pitiful picture than the one presented by the restored Cameron as he sat there in his own spacious ball, gazing with lack-luster eyes at the dead and dying embers on the hearth before him, I hope never to see. The butler, ruddy and rotund, and looking for all the world like a wellfed monk, for he wore a bathrobe of somber hue and his crown was barer than any shaven^ tonsure, stared" fi moment in sad silence. Then, to me, he asked: "£?ut what has happened to Mr. ero'n, sir?" "I wish I cohld tell you, Checkabeedy," was my unguarded reply. "I wish he could tell us himself." "But he is so wasted, sir! And his clothes. I never saw Mr, Cameron la such clothes." It was quite true. They were of what Is galled, I believe, a pepper-andsalt mixture, coarse of texture and illcut, yet not much worn. "He does not recognize us," Checkabeedy went on, "and still he is conscious. May I afik you, sir, where you brought him from?" ' I chose .to Ignore the question, m sudden realization of the neocfsity Of'J caution. "And he has been missing a month, they say, sir. Is that true, Mr. Clyde?" "Missing!" I repeated. "Who says lie has been missing?" "The servants all say so, sir." "Then the servants must get rid of the idea, at once," I said, sharply. "Mr. Cameron has merely been out of town for a while. He went away for his On the Mississippi river in olden days the passenger steamboats went very ornate affairs, vying with each other in garish glory. One owner hit on the idea -of naming his steamboat's cabiuu instead of numbering them. So he named them in honor of the states of the union, each havfng above the door the gfit title of some stute, the big central cabin being called tho "Texas," after the largest .state. Other boat owners took up the idea, and thus the word cabin was gradually alternated by "state" room. For years the best cabin was still known aB the Texas. Then that sobriquet died with the ebbing glory of the old river steamers. But tb» word "Ktateroom" became incorporated into our language, and in time even broke into the dictionary, as doea 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.

Having given over the effort to obtain from my fellow passenger even a geatured answer to my most pertinent Inquiries, I. turned . my mind to what lay before us, The hoof-beatt of the hard-driven hone re- ] Cameron establishment would doubtless be faat locked in slumber as well as otherwise, but I made small question of my ability to rouse some of the servants. My hope, however, was not to awaken Evelyn. It conld mean only a night's rest lost for her, for she conld gain nothing by seeing her unci*) at this hour, considering his condition. I was still busy planning when a mighty hand on the linos brought our horse to his haunches, and ourselves nearly out tfcrodgh the suddenly parted apron; and the Cameron residence loomed massive and dark on our right As 1 stepped to the sidewalk the driver descended, too," out 1 motioned him back. , "Never mind, thank you," I said.

Checkabeedy bowed, assenting, and Louis, still whimpering, wiped his eyes. It was nearly four o'clock when the physician left his patient and joined me in the library downstairs. His face was very grave. "1 have examined Mr. Cameron thoroughly," be said, "and I can assure you that he Is not seriously Injured/' The phrase opened up a new line of thought to me.

That i8 advertising. He personally solicit* trade or adopts some other means of advertising his business. Bnt one thing is certain, if any business is ever built up it is built up through the medium of adverising. Every business man must admit this, or why not start a business under ground and the proprietor sit down waiting for business to to oome to him? A well kept store in a good location, stocked with good goods at reasonable prices is an advertisement. A ' merchant cannot hide his light under a bushel and be a success. He must advertise. There are vorious ways of advertising, and for the sake- of convenience and in the order of their importance we give them here: 1st Personal Advertising—where the merchant personally solicits business, 2nd Personal Letter Advertising—where the merchant write* pgiiosrtl letters to stiimnlate business. 3rd—Newspaper Advertising— where through tbe newspaper the indiehsfit gives business news each week to thousands 4th Circular and Other Advertising—where through circulars, bills, bill boards and all other means of publicity effort is made to infiaeaoe the trading public. $here is no denying the advantage to a merchant in personally soUeUing business, either visiting prospective customers personally or writing tfceai personal letters. These are very effective ways of advertising, and at the same time very expensive ways of advertising. 1U w a i t e r advertising ie the next beet means of advertising and, prise eqsrideted, it to *f far the fret advertising.

High Wind Friday Does Considerable Damage The miniature cyclone which struck Southern Michigan last Friday did not alight Pinckney. A number of chimneys were blown down,roofs torn off and signs blown away. The electrtc light service in certain parts of the village had to be discontinued owing to broken wires and many telephone lines especially in the rural districts were put out of commission. The Mag pole at the school house was blown down and the front of one of the stores owned by George Heasou torn off. At one time it was thought that the steeple of the Catholic church would fall. Although quite a little damage was done here still in comparison to the losses suffered in other towns, it must be admited that Pinckney was indeed fortunate in escaping so easily.

' 1 ' ' S it possible to make a ship unsinkable? At least, can't a craft be made far less likely to founder than under present systems of construction and yet be fit for the service for which she. is designed? The sinking of the Tttalnlc brought these questions before the public sdme months ago. Since then the skill of one man has . . developed a method which bids fair 4 w f 1 to add greatly to the margin of safe- JLSSJ ty"to any steel ship which may suffer serious damage below the water* line. The invention is a new application of prin* •ciples which have been employed for other purposes for many years. In 1908 the cruiser Yankee hit the Hen and •Chickens reef, Just outside of Newport. Various well-known salvage companies tackled the wreck, •but abandoned the work, declaring that It was •'.•Hxk'^M'-M\ • * ' - " 'f,.*.**- # m V rnr :¾¾¾-. m owe iil ( r ':i a IS •quite impossible to refloat thfe cruiser. Then two young engineers, W. W. Wotherspoon and R. O. King, attacked the task along new lines, obtaining the financial assistance of the late John Arbuckle. These enthusiasts—for such was the spirit in which they approached what others had pronounced hopeless—broke away from traditional practice and resorted to the use of compressed air « s a medium for salving the Yankee. The ship had landed high on the reef, and the jagged rocks had torn her bottom plating in many places, making it impossible to pump her out In the usual way. These innovators sealed up the 'hatchways leading to the various holds. Then 4hey pumped compressed air into the compartanents, and the sea was driven out again through t h e rents by which It had entered. The ship was thus made buoyant enough to be dragged from the rocks. Unfortunately she was run into and • o a k while being towed to harbor. An entirely new problem then presented Itself. lastead of making use* of cumbersome pontoons and other external buoyant auxiliaries, Messrs. Wotherspoon and King eettled upon the plan of. t u n i n g the Yankee into her own salvage apparat v * In other words, it was decided to utilise ^he snip's own compartments as buoyancy chambers toy draining them of the very Water which had carried the craft to the bottom. Ton will probably declare offhand that there is nothing original In this; anybody knows that a foundered vessel would rise if you could get the water out of her. But don't be too hasty In your eoftClusiont. The difficulty lies in the danger £hat when the air has forced the water out, the treasure of the overlying water will crush the *uH. How, then, did these young engineers -guard •against this danger? They did not try to pump out the cruiser in the 'literal sense of the word; they drove the water •out under the Impulse of compressed air and they ^balanced the contending forces so nicely that the *afclp's structure was substantially a neutral dlvtia) kM between them, the air pressure being just av trite in excess of the pressure of the water which' It forced outward from the buoyancy1 comapartments. Do you realise the engineering cunusing involved here? The compressed air actually ^constituted a stronger support for the burdened >;<4eck than the water whieh had previously filled t h e underlying space! As the cruiser rose to t h e surface > the pressure was progressively re* ftnced so that it Just maintained an excess of force against the exterior water. This method of floating the Yankee suggested to Mr. Wotherspoon a medium by which the tttfuettrre trt a vessel not yet sunk could be utiliz* Isje to keep her afloat when otherwise lnruahing 'water would certainly carry her to, the bottom. Wotherspoon's first adaptation of this syswaa for naval purposes, to provide means by which ma injured ship of war could survive the wader water attack of either torpedoes or subsnartne mines, and probably be kept on an even start eo that she eould still fire her guns effecttirel* against an enemy. ferom- the keel of a fighting ship up to a height of stvvral feet above the water line it is the prac- •fk* to subdivide her as far as possible into a lasts number of separate water-tight compartjprata, the idea, of course, being to confine the of injury. By making use of these o«rapait« ]&&*&&&? <3* JV&? j4A7S-JZXtV0B&0U3 <&47tyf was finished, to surrender to the navy department a large percentage of the weight allowance originally granted him. Take an empty tumbler, turn It bottom upward and press it down into a basin of water. The further you submerge it the smaller grows the air space, the air becoming more and more compressed. If you could slightly Increase the prassure of the confined air the encroaching r^ater would be driven outward. If the bottom of the tumbler were pierced, on the other hand, the air would escape and the water would rise and fill the space. Substitute a pipe instead of a free opening in the bottom of the glass and lead this pipe to a reserveir of compressed air. When this compressed air is poured into the tumbler the water will be driven out or the glass will rise and free itself of water. In either case then the space will be filled with air. This is substantially what Mr. Wotherspoon has planned shall happen when a ship's compartment or compartments are flooded through under water damage of any sort. Air will displace the water due to leakage and make the craft float well nigh as If she had not been injured. Of course this is upon" the assumption that the wound has occurred at the bottom and not the. top of a watertight subdivision; otherwise the 'chamber will remain flooded. But it takes a good deal of air to All most of the big divisions of a fighting ship, and there must be piping to carry the air to these hundreds of separate chambers. How did Mr. Wotherspoon provide for all these and yet not exceed the weight allowed him by the naval officials? He did it by making use of facilities actually already provdled for other services. Foul air, gases and heat beyond a fixed degree must be guarded against in a man-of-war wtthln the various under water compartments. To accomplish this end two pipes lead to each of these chambers, one to carry fresh air and the other to drain off the foul. Also every fighting ship is furnished with air compressors and there are a number of tanks in which this air is stored at a very high pressure. Normally this air is for the charging of the torpedoes, for some kind of mechanical work and for blowing the residual gases and bits of smoldering remnants of the powder bags out of the big guns before the breeches are. opened for reloading l The very fundamentals of Mr. Wotherspoon's system were thus already installed and a few inexpensive connections alone were needful to complete his requirements. All that was necessary was to tap the air supply system by flexible hose and Join the connection to the supply duct leading to any desired compart* ment, at the same time closing the exhaust -vent Thus compressed air under perfect control could be led intc the flooded chamber and the water quickly expelled. That is not all; the system makes it possible to enter the injured subdivision through a neigh- \zroe7y? CMJKKSA># 7&e jzp££>//%&r/w boring intact compartment for the purpose of effecting repairs. The workmen go into the c o n n e c t i n g chamber, dose it; and air is then admitted until the pressure equals that of the flanking dama g e d o n e . T h i s done, the dividing door is opened and the workmen can proceed with their task. Theoretically all the compartments of a fighting ship are supposed to be water-tight; practically some are not so. Here is where the safety system which Mr. Wotherspoon provides has another field of usefulness. Compressed air is very searching, much more so than water, and it has the added advantage of sounding an alarm wherever it manages to work its way through, even in a small measure. Dry air, unlike water. Is not destructive, and a compartment full of stores, electrical apparatus of any other things sensitive to water could be flooded with compressed air for test without doing the least harm to the contents. The value of this has already been proved in a number of instances recently and upon one occasion the draining of a leaking comparement and the charging with air of the surrounding compartments filled with stores resulted in the saving of probably $12,000 or $14,000 worth of property. In a few moments after the automatic alarm gave warning of the flooding the compressed_ jajr was in_serylce_ and the water ^JrWen overboard again. Perhaps the most striking example of Ihe effectiveness of this system for keeping an injured ship afloat and making it possible for her to proceed to port was that of the U. S. 8. collier Nero. The vessel Btruck Brenton's Reef, Rhode Island, in July of 1909. Ordinary salvage operations failed to dislodge her from the rockB, and it was not until certain of her decks were sealed hermetically and a number of the intervening spaces turned into closed compartments and compressed air pumped into her that she was released and floated. She reached the Brooklyn navy yard. Difficult. Representative Dudley M. Hughes of Georgia is called a farmer statesman and devotes much of his time to the agricultural Interests of hie district.

It is really no use putting up a statue or any other kind of memorial in London, for in a year or two unless seen to right along, it will be practically enveloped in a pitch black cloak of London soot, some 6,000 tons of which, according to an engineer's recent estimate, is always hanging in the atmosphere of this metropolis. The statue of "America" which has just been discovered adonis the front of the Cannon street hotel, which adjoins one of the biggest of London's railway stations and is a favorite place for big political and other gatherings. It was put up in 1866, since when its walls have not been cleaned, hence for forty years or more all of the rather elaborate decorations which cover them hare been hidden from sight ss completely as if they never had existed.

IATE WASHINGTON MATTERS OF NOTE THE PRESIDENT WILL TRY TO HARMONIZE FACTIONS ON THE TARIFF BILLS. TrtE INCOME TAX WILL CAUSE SOME HARD FIGHTING. Why the Policy Toward China Was Changed by the New Administration Is Cleared Up, The struggle within the ways and means committee for control between the conservatives and the radicals continues to be the subject of greatest interest to the politicians in Washington for on the outcome will depend the general character of the forthcoming tariff bills. President WUson has been appealed to. and during the next week it is expected that he will confer with all Interests, to arrive at some position where the factions may meet harmoniously, if such a thing is now possible. The situation as a whole so strikingly resembles that of four years ago, preceding the special session of congress called by President Taft, alsofor tariff revision, as to give it unusual significance. What the outcome will be nobody pretends to know, but everybody is watching developments from day to day, and doing his best to get at ail the facts. That Income Tax. A fight on income tax legislation, which may equal the coming battle on the tariff, is fomenting in Washington, and will break with the convening of the sixty-third congress, according to those conversant with the situation- . Behind the fight are believed to be some of the most wealthy men in the United States—men whose fortunes run into the hundreds of millions and whose share of the income tax rayst necessarily be heavy." As the matter now stands the democrat party has gone on record aa favoring the enactment of this legislation, but there is yet to be drafted a bill defining the nature and amount of the tax to be levied upon fortune*. Knox's Policy Changed. The purposes which actuated the Wilson administration, in repudiating Secretary Knox's policy with regard to the proposed six power loan to China, have been clarified in the last few days. _ • Briefl y stated _th_e _ad m in i st ration 'a attitude with regard to the proposed" loan is this: Once the bargain with the five other powers had been entered into the bargain would have to be kept. Possibly eventualities might have put this country into the position of being a party in a scramble for Chinese territory, in the event of failure on the part of China to fulfill the conditions of the loan. The administration desires to remain able, if such a scramble comes, to deter these ambitious powers, acting as the friend of the new republic. Germany and the United States each without territorial ambitions in China, long have been the restraining influence in the Chinese situation, according to administration officials. Russia and Japan, once this influence were removed, might feel free to satisfy ambitions for expansion which they are now said to entertain. President Wilson and his advisers concluded that the maintenance of this restraining influence on the other powers is far more important from the standpoint of friendliness to China than would have been the financial benefits which would have accrued to American commerce and banking from participation in the loan.

A man in handling v the ordinary pitchfork, raises the load on the fork waist high in order that he may throw it from him. This meaus that it would be useless to make a lower top rail than what we build, as there would be no advantt ge in loading. OUR MACHINE LOADS easily from any direction—the seat turns over I out ot the way in front and ics just as easy to load onto this machine as it is to • throw it in another pile on the ground. i DON'T FORGET. The Self-Cleaning apron, No-Choke box, Bull Dog cylinder and Oil Packed main bearings are exclusive Litchfield features You •till look for them in vain on any other spreader. High Under C l e a r a n c e A PECULAR FACT. The LitchBeld Down-Low baa substantially the '• same Under Clearance that our High Standard machines have. We use (he :• tame site wheels—the axles are the same distance from the ground. This gives . Ds from sixteen to eighteen inches of general clearance under the machine, and •ame clearance under the front axle that we have always had in the high machines. Just compare this with the eight or tea inches clearance found under othsr low down spreaders. i , * . * <'•.*/! ! » • • * • i * . r PON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE of buying a Sled when you pay your money for a manure spreader. Any machine soon becomes a sled in muddy and rough ground if It does not have sufficient' uuder clearance. Like every- Jfeiagelae, the tendency toward low down manure sqreaders has gone in most a little to far and this is a serious objection—Too Close To The Ground. Short Wheel Base •"WE MOUNT" OUR SPREADERS on the rear wheels so that these traction wheels take a sufficient proportion of the load and have sufficient traction Improperly operate the unloading machinery. We get away fiom the heavy «mft that if a part of all long coupled wagons and spreaders. We turn in a Spotter circle and in a smaller place and our machine hat much more activity a^ai if moeh stronger and more substantial than a machine that is hung between tfoiroot and the rear wheels instead of being mounted on the rear axle. This faeana light draft, strength, durability and convenience. _ , , v| We have samples of the Litchfield and New Idea f;J^anure Spreaders for inspection and will take pleasttre in showing and will make better terms than you W get elsewhere. •SXeepje }{ardware Company /.>.'•*. mm mm • • " • ^ v .

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION, HOWEVER. Short Ballot Bill Beaterw-That Boxno Commission—Federal Patronage and the Governor.—Other Legislative News. [By Gurd M. Hayes.] The bill Increasing the mill tax appropriation" of the Michigan Agricultural College from one-tenth to onefifth of a mill, which it is estimated will increase the allowance for the college from 1250,000 annually to about $500,000, has been reported out favorably in the senate and is said to stand an excellent chance of passing Lhe upper house. Whether the bill stands any show is a question over which there is a difference of opinion, some members claiming that in view of the attack on President Snyder there is small chance for success, while. others claim sufficient votes can be rallied to push the bill through. Students and the college and alumni In various parts of the state are sending letters to members of the legislature, urging them to lay aside any prejudice they may have against President Snyder and use their influence to advance the best interests of the institution by voting the school more money. It will be some time before a governor of Michigan appoints the various state officers. The proposed amendment to the constitution providing for the short ballot has been beaten again in the house and no further attempts will be made to raise the question during the present session. Rep. Jensen, who made a stirring speech against the proposed amendment declared that the people of the state have never made any demand for this innovation in the government and declared that if they adopt the initiative and referendum at the spring election, they will have the power to initiate such an amendment if they think such a change is really needed. Speaker Currie and other progressive republicans voted against the amendment, and the friends of the bill were unable to register the two-thlrda majority necessary for its adoption. y Governor Ferris does not take kindly to the proposed bill of Rep. Martz creating a boxing commission and legalizing ten-round bouts in this state. "Boxing as it should be conducted, suitable for the Y. M. C. A. and the gymi\aslum is permitted under the present law," said Gov. Ferris, "I would not endorse anything more than this. I am unalterably opposed to prize fighting and from the investigations I have been making, I am inclined to believe that many of the so-called boxing contests are nothing but prize fights. Anyway, since there is no law preventing decent boxing contests, I fail to see the need of a boxing commission or any law to legalize prize fighting and I would be opposed to any such proposal." The question of federal patronage is a problem that is causing considerable discussion among the democratic members of the legislature and Gov. Ferris has had numerous callers who wanted his indorsement for postmasterships and various other jobs. "There will be no repetition of the obnoxious 'referee' system as far as the federal patronage is concerned," said Gov. Ferris. "Of this I am assured by both members of the national committee and the state chairman. I have been asked to make suggestions and I am informed that information and recommendations as to the fitness and efficiency of the candidates, aa well as party service, will be solicited and welcomed from every source. "I cannot in Justice t othe duties of this office give the time necessary to make the required investigations for all of the hundreds of offices in Michigan. I was elected governor of Michigan and not the official dispenser of patronage. 1 will do »11 I can for worthy democrats and will conform to the policy of the administration and use my best efforts to promote harmony and advance the welfare of Michigan as well as to uphold the president in his ideals and standards aa to principles and appointees." At the election this spring the people of Michigan will be asked to pass judgment on several Important amendments to the state constitution. The equal suffrage amendment is the one that is attracting the most attention at present The Initiative on constitutional amendments, initiative on state statutes, the referendum and the1 amendment providing for the pensioning of members of city fire departments, will also he on the ballots. •Jt Senator Robert Walter, chairman of the fish committee appointed to meet with the Wisconsin legislature to {rame uniform fish legislation for Lake Michigan, has just received word from the game warden of Wisconsin, commending the Clark commercial fisheries bill which just passed the house. The Wisconsin expert says it is the best measure of its kind he has ever seen bearing on lake fisheries and rill ask the Wisconsin legislature to adopt it for that state as the basis for uniform fish laws. Michigan and Wisconsin never before have been able to agree absolutely on the commercial fisheries legislation and the difference has been a source of no little trouble to the game wardens of the two states and the commercial fishing interests representing the two sides of Lake Michigan. The complications have been so numerous and troublesome that Senator Walter determined this year to make a light for uniformity. With but little opposition the house committee on revision and amendment of the constitution reported out the resolution to Bubmit state wide prohibition to the people of Michigan. It cannot be said that the members of the house received the measure with great glee for many have asserted their personal disinclination to support such a measure but adding thereto a statement that probably they would vote for the bill if the committee turned it loose, and the indications now are better for success for the resolution than in any previous session, In both houses. The action of the committee this session comes as something of a surprise, observers point out, in view of the fact that such other measures such as equal suffrage, the initiative, referendura and recall, have the call on public attention, while in other years delegation after delegation came here to fight for such a measure, and petitions by the thousand were filed without effect. This year with little or no agitation the resolution is placed in position where'it is generally admitted there is a chance for its passage. The committee was not agreed on the matter, and the report is without favorable recommendation for the resolution by the committee. On the question of reporting out the bill the following members voted in favor: Reps. Skeels, Hulse, Flowers, Middleton, Pray, Wieland, C. H. McDride, Stevens, Rice, while Chairman Ashley and Reps. Suttari, Freeman and Foote favored indefinitely postponing consideration of the matter. raitCTIVE STORM SWEEPS MANY UVES ARE LOST AND TOWNS ARE LAID IN RUINS BY DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO.

Fires Follow Wind in Stricken Cities and Destruction by Fire Is Great Owing to Inability of the Firemen to Work Effectively During die Storm. Better and cream must hereafter be All doubts as to the progressive nature of the senate were dispelled when the upper bouse in a single afternoon passed the resolutions providing for the submission of constitutional amendments that would give the people of the state, the initiative and referendum on legislation, the recall, the initiative and referendum on constitutional amendments and the short ballot. Five years ago there measures would have been considered fit only for the discussion of statesmen of socialistic tendencies. And yet, such changes have been wrougt, that all these measures hardly brought out an antagonistic comment from the floor. In this day of primaries when every aspirant to publie office must explain his action and his vote to the folks at home, the people really have come to rule. "The people want ft," is excuse enough for anything in this progressive day. Old legislators who had in the house and senate of five and ten years ago fairly gasped aa the. initiative and referendum slipped -through the senate. There was no further discussion of the short ballot proposal of Senator QdeTl. Some of the members of the sen* ate did not want It, but they were of the opinion that it would be killed in the house. A terrific windstorm causing widespread destruction and loss of life and practically wrecking the already demoralized telegraph service raged over the central west and middle states late Sunday. Reports from Nebraska, Kansas, iowa and Indiana indicate heavy damage, but owing to the wrecking of the telegraph lines, the reports are fragmentary and lacking in detail. Omaha, Berlin, Ashland and Yutan, Neb.—the latter towns near Omaha— Marshalltown, Ackley, Woodbine and Carroll, Iowa; Terre Haute, Ind., and Abilene, Kan., are places from which scattering messages carrying news of grave destruction have been received. The death list at Yutan was placed at 15 and the injured at 50. For more than four hours no word was received from stricken Omaha. Tate bulletins report that half the city was swept by a tornado. All wires were down, and Berlin, a neighboring town, was said to be in flames. The message was received over a single long distance telephone wire, which worked at intervals. Terre Haute Hard Hit. Terre Haute. Ind., suffered severely. Scores of persons were injured, an unknown number were' overwhelmed in the ruins of houses blown down by the wind, and many fires were started in different parts of the city. First reports from Nebraska were that the towns visited by the storm had been wiped out and that the wreck* age was on fie. Trains loaded with rescuers, nurses and physicians were struggling toward the scene, being compelled to feel their way without running orders, owing to the paralysis of the telegraph service. Iowa Escapes Worst. The loss of life and property in Iowa was less severe, according to messages from the swept district. Dust storms, rain, hail and tremendous, electrical disturbances prevailed over Kansas and Nebraska thegreater part of the day. Where railroad service was impossible motor cars were pressed into service and surgeons and supplies were rushed to the wrecked towns at the best speed possible over the washed out roads. With no warning the terrific gale swept down upon the district. Parts of the Root Glass company's plant were flattened. The end of the foundry room of the Garland factory, a solid brick wall 18 inches thick, was caved in. Brick and stone structures suffered alike. Lightning set fire to many houses. Men, women and children were crushed to death in bed. Some escaped to the cellars. Whole structures were blown away by the force of the tvind. The- maimed were rushed to hospitals as fast as they were extricated. Rain Saves Scores. Difficulty was experienced in obtaining doctors and the firemen frere un ablr to cope with the flames which swept the district. The heavy downpour of rain is all that prevented scores of injured from being burned in the debris of their homes.

Advocates of the measure asserted the standards required are those adopted by the general government, and it is declared the bill will bring prestige to Michigan butter as well as to protect the buyer from purchasing a large quantity of water in his butter. would be blVghted if the state~made a reduction by force in the debt of the Pere. Marquette railroad was the declaration made by Frederick W. Stevens, former general counsel for the road and now with J. P. Morgan A: Co.. at the close of Friday's testimony before the legislative committee investigating the increase of the funded debt of the Pere Marquette from $25,000,000 to $70,000,000 in 14 years. He said that all of the stock issued by the Pere Marquette had the stamp of approval of the state of Michigan uopn it and was bought by the holders with the assurance of its legality. If the state attempted a forceful reduction of the debt, the common stock would be the first item that would have to be reduced, next would be the $5,000,000 in debentures issued to the stockholders who contributed that sum to the road in 1904, and next would come the $8,000,000 In notes issued in 1911 to defray legitimate expenses, making a total of close to $39,000,000, all of which would pome from people who had acted in godd faith with the road. Senator Allswede's horse power tax on automobiles which is a preliminary or auxiliary measure to the trunk line highway now pending in the senate has been passed by the senate on third reading. This carries a tax of 50 cents per horse power on pleasure vehicles and 25 cents per horse power on com* mercial cars. The difference is accounted for by the fact that commercial vehicles practically are limited to the use of streets in cities and do not contribute to the wear on country roads. The senate has agreed to (he, semimonthly pay D|11. This ts a compromise between the monthly pay day request of employers and the weekly pav day demands of employes. The Eaton Case.

Haggerson, a justice of the peace, in Bessemer, for the last 25 years, filed ~hts resignation with the city council and It was promptly accepted. Charges against him had been filed with the governor, which, upon investigation, were substantiated, and a peremptory notice to either resign or be removed followed. The city's other justice, Andrew Anderson, also resigned a month ago, which leaves the city without any justice at all until after this spring election. Boy Electrocuted. George Morris, aged 24, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Morris, of Carmel, was almost instantly killed at the Charlotte plant of the Commonwealth Power Co. He was taking the temperature of the oil tank when he received a shock of 4,500 volts. A similar accident at the plant a few duys ago nearly cost the life of Marco Martin, of Jackson, another employe, who received 2,300 volts. Weather Man Resigns. Willis L.

"He la not ill?" he questioned. "lYou mean—" "Confidentially, Doctor," I admitted, "we haven't the faintest notion juBt how he is. He may be in excellent health or he may have ceased to exist." "Good God!" he exclaimed, and his face was as white as his linen. "Our best Information is that he Is on a steamer—a tramp—bound for China, but we have no particulars, and worse still, no verification." It was neither fair nor consistent to conceal longer from one so Justly interested the whole truth, and so, without reservation, I told Dr. Addison the story. Before I had quite concluded, Miss Clement was announced, and when she was shown into the library, instead of permitting the physician to leave, as he made offer of doing, I presented him and insisted upon his remaining. "I want you to tell Miss Clement about your patient, Doctor," I said. "Miss Clement is a very good friend of Miss Grayson's." Graciously he complied, making it quite clear that sedatives and sleep would undoubtedly effect a prompt recovery. "And now Miss Clement will tell us something," I added. "She has had a patient, too, who died this morning, as you may have seen by the afternoon papers—the Eurasian who was shot by McNish." Up to that moment I knew but little of what Soy had divulged, for the missionary, in her two or three brief telephonic talks, had given us scarcely more than promises of important revelations when opportunity could be made for a meeting; and I was impatient for the fulfilment. , She had chosen a seat at some little distance from us, but now, at my solicitation, she accepted a more comfortable chair, which I placed in confidential Juxtaposition with our own. "Itj's rather a long story," she began, in her sweetly quiet voice. "And as It came to me piecemeal, I'm afraid it will be rather disconnected. You see this poor fellow suffered horribly at times and when he-was hot suffering he was under the influence of opiates, so ordinarily I doubt that it would be safe to accept as fact a good deal said under such circumstances. It appears to me, however, that in hie case, these very conditions only strengthen the probabilities; for his njind seemed to hold only the one theme, and his statements could hardly have been either spontaneous or studied fnventions. On the other hand, they were rather a sort of involuntary recital of the particulars of a subject which had engrossed him for years to the exclusion of almost everything else." Dr, Addlscn nodded his head, encouragingly. "I quite understand, Miss Clement," he said. And I, too, assured her that her reasoning appeared to me logical "It was significant," she continued, "that so far as I could fix dates, he made no references at all to any happening prior to sixteen years ago. The tragedy of that time was the begin* ning of what I think I may call his mania. Everything he told me had to do with i t It came at the beginning, at the apex, and at the end of every revelation." "The tragedy of sixteen years ago?" inquired the physician. "The tragedy of what has been called T h e Sable Lorcha,'" X reminded him. "Oh, yes, of course." "Yon know of that, then?" asked Miss Clement. And briefly I ran over what Yup Sing had told me. "John Soy, I understand, waa the cook whom McNish imprisoned In the galley," I added. "It seems he broke his way out Just as the lorcha was sinking. McNish had waited until he had gone to his bunk for his usual hop, and had chosen the hour he was sleeping to get away and scuttle the vessel. For five days Soy floated about on a bit of wreckage without food or drink, and was finally picked up by a proa and taken back to Macao at the mouth of the Canton river, where, after weeks of delirium, he, told his story of the lorcta's fate. From that day tb* search for McNish began. It seems that he had a partner, an Irishman, named Moran. who for a time waa suspected of having been la the conspiracy; for, yon moat remember, it was thought then that the sinking of the lorcha had been planned from the first, the idea being that it was simply a scheme to get the passage money from the poor coolies, and then drown Uiem." "Horrible!" ejaculated the physician. "But the Chinese are Just," the missionary continued. "They discovered that a certain United States cruiser that had been warned Of the attempted smuggling, did, om that particular day. f t o sheas to a tarobe, which and, ultimately, this same Moran became the most openly bitter of all the avenging horde that for over a decade and a half scoured the four corners of the globe; for it seems that McNish had not only made off with his share of the receipts of their Joint enterprise, but had left him with a ruining lot of debts to settle as well. There was something, too, I believe, about a Chinese woman whose loyalty to Mcran, McNish undermined, but I cor* fess that part of the story was no*: very clear to me: At all events Soy. the half-breed, and Moran, the Irish man, who appears to have been a rov ing blade, a sort of soldier of fortune with some talent for painting, becam? the prime movers In this relentleef quest, in which they were backed hy what is known as the Six Companies All the tongs, no matter how much it variance on other points, were a uili in this instance, and unlimited mousy was always available to prosecute the search." A footman, appearing at this Juncture with the inevitable tea paraphernalia, interrupted temporarily the current of Miiss Clement's narrative. Birt our Interest was such that we limited the cessation to the briefest possible period. Dr. Addison, whose-professional engagements were being toppled over one after another, politely urged her. to continue, directly her d p was In her hand. "Think, Miss Clement," he said, with an Ingratiating smile, "of the rapt audience you have! I trust it is at once an inspiration and a compensation." "It surely is," was the good lady's prompt acknowledgment. "And, by the way, I must not forget to tell you how this man, McNish, actually had the temerity to return to China a few years ago. He appeared to think either that his crime had been forgotten or that knowledge of It was limited to the Southern provinces, for in the early fall of 1903, under one of his many aliases, he arrived at Peking, by way of the Trans-Siberian Railway." , The doctor and I exchanged glances. It was odd how confirmation of the error he had already avowed should thus come about from the lips of one who knew nothing of his story of a shattered friendship. "Oddly enough, Moran happened to be in the city at the time and every arrangement was made to capture the long-sought prey and convey him to Canton for some exquisite torture devised especially to fit his crime. In some way, howeyer, the Intended victim got wind of what was proposed, and came within an ace of escaping unscathed from under their very fingers. Indeed, he did escape in the end, but not before Moran had very nearly put a finish to him by a knife thrust in his back." Once more I exchanged glances with the physician, for scarcely half an hour before, I had told him of the scar under McNlsh's left shoulder blade, received as I had been told, in Buffalo. "Moran fled from Peking after this encounter, not knowing whether his enemy were dead or alive, and for awhile, I believe, latd very low,' as they aay. In spite of all the efforts of the combined Chinese organizations, McNish, warned now of bis constant danger, eluded their search, but at length Soy himself succeeded in tracing him to Canada and thence to Buffalo. There Moran came, posthaste, and once more there waa a street encounter. Moran was arrested, and McNish charged him with assault with intent to kill. The result was that Moran waa convicted and sent to prison for a term of years; and once again the earth seemed to close over McNish." The discrepancies between Mis* Clement's narrative and that of Yup Sing 1 did not regard as sufficiently vital to raise a question ever, yet I must admit that I could hardly foresee a conclusion without a much graver antagonism of facts as'I knew them. The missionary having paused to sip her tea, Dr. Addison asked permis- ^sion to smoke a cigarette, which she readily granted. "On Moran'* release from prison," Miss Clement continued, fortified by the fragrant Oolong, "be appears for the first time to have considered the advisability of adopting some sort of an incognito. Prior to this time he had. Soy told me, been carefully clean shaven and close-cropped. Now he grew a beard and wore his hair long, and, in addition, be doctored it with henna until it became a fiery red. He also changed his name from Moran to Murphy, and instead of frequenting the busy marts of mefe, he retired to an isolated /country place on the Cos Cob river and posed as an artist. He employed always a Chinese servant, and at least once a week, without fail he visited Chinatown, keeping always in touch with the powers there, which west still unrelenting in their efforts to trace McNish." She same now to Murphy's so-ceilel himself bad already told rae. I would have savc3*h«e!r this recital, but It was new to Dr. Addisou and BO I allowed her to proceed. "It was plainly evident to Moran," she pursued", "that McNish—or at least the gentleman he supposed was McNish—did not recognize hira, and his delight at this discovery was unbounded; for it gave him opportunity, quite unsuspectedly, to arrange all his plant] for a most ingenious campaign of torture. What that campaign consisted of, of course, you already know, Mr. Clyde, and I presume Dr. Addison does, too." "Yes," I replied, "I have told the doctor." "What you don't know, though," she added, "Is how it was managed." "We have been told something about amyl pearls," I suggested. "Amyl pearls?" queried Dr. Addison, curiously. With as much clearness as possible I explained to him what I meant by using thlB admittedly Inaccurate term. "Incredible!" he exclaimed. "Can it be possible that there is such an anaesthetic as this, and we have never even heard of it before?" "There can be no doubt about its existence," I answered. "I myself have experienced its effects, though 1 have never actually seen it put in operation." But it was Miss Clement who was most convincing. "I have never seen either it or its effects, Doctor," she said, "but I am willing to believe even more marvellous things than that where the Chinese are concerned. You must remember that as a race they are most Jealous of their knowledge as well as their possessions. Just now, after all their many centuries of a civilization greater In some respects than our own, we are beginning to learn something of them and their ways, and I should not be at all surprised to discover that in chemistry, in medicine even, they have forgotten more than we know. Soy assured me that not only for days, but for weeks, he himself came and went about Mr. Cameron's— or, as he called it, McNlsh's— country place without being either Been or heard, simply by using this ether of invisibility. It was he who delivered the three letters. It was he who cut the head from the portrait, and it was he who broke the mirror; and yet no one saw him on the grounds or in the house, and Indeed there were very few who saw him in the vicinity. Again and again, he assured me, he could have taken his victim's life but that he was intent on Inflicting a punishment more protractedly horrible than mere Budden death." "Who wroto the letters?" I asked. "Moran." "I thought so. And Moran killed the Chinaman who worked for him." "No; there you are wrong, Mr, Clyde." "Then who did?" "Soy himself. He learned of how that boy, unable to control his hatred ofjhe man who h a d s I a i n some oneor 'more^-of his klnspeople, carried back the hea,d that had been cut from the portrait, borrowed a rifle from Mr. Cameron's own gamekeeper, and shot the canvas full of holes. It seemed to Soy, then, that in spite of all his and Moran's careful preparation this would surely involve trouble, and that once more their quarry would slip through their Angers. And to prevent the possibility of any more unrestrained fervor on the boy'B part, Soy beat him to death." "I know Soy, or Peter Johnson as he called himself, managed the kidnapping from the yacht," I said, "but 1 shall never understand how it was done. Did be speak of that?" "Over and over again, ft was he who learned of the intention to take the cruise. At first they thought they would have to change their plans and carry their enemy off before he had a chance to take to his yacht. But Soy maintained that that would be too crude a method; whereas to let him think that he had escaped and was safe away, and then, at the very moment, of bis triumph, to snatch him from seeming security, would be the very refinement of cruelty the avenger so much desired. And so the properties were secured at some fabulous figure—1 forgot Just what they paid for that fast power boat—the scene was set, and the great act of the drama, with Soy still the star, was carried to a successful- climax." "But," ! made question, "I don't see how Soy could take such a risk. If it had been McNish instead of Cameron, be certainly would have recognised him, when he was brought aboard from the disabled dory." sesntasny dlsapgssred in the lag. en* - iO cb "He thought of that, but yoir must remember- th*t*-t* ..all-v.ihes*. *.U£*$tt years McNish had never once seen Soy.

I saw that myHelf, you know, Miss Clement. He recognised him and was terror stricken." Miss Clement smiled tolerantly. She was armed at all points. "You did not know, I suppose, Mr. Clyde, that that was not their first meeting," she explained. "Soy met McNish on the night you found him. It was he who assaulted him, somewhere about Seventh avenue and I'^iftleth street, and would have killed h/m then had not the police arrived at the moment. The officers probably thought McNish was intoxicated and let him go, seeing that he could stand, and so he staggered on to Fifth avenue; and there you discovered him." "No, I did not know that," I admitted, a little crestfallen. "What followed?" "You remember I told you that Chinatown was in a state of frenzy, the next day? You can understand now, why. Soy, of course, reported that McNish had escaped from the steamer—" "What steamer?" I cried, suddenly realizing that the one really vital piece of information we should have obtained, had all this while been delayed. "What steamer? Did he give you the name of it?" "In just a moment, Mr. Clyde," she said, with a smile that I confess exasperated me. "Pardon me," I returned, Insistently, "but you do not realize, I tear, what minutes even may mean in this matter." "No," 3till very calm, "I really don't. The steamer has been at sea now twenty-five days. It is bound for Hong Kong. If there was a chance of overtaking it. I—" "There's every chance of overtaking it," I interrupted onoe again. "Tomorrow, or next day, or even today, it may put into Rio. We must telegraph the United States Consulate at every possible port." And then, for the first time, apparently, Miss Clement seemed to appreciate there was a real urgency. "The steamer is the Glamorganshire," she said, quickly: "A freighter; a tramp, I suppose; ho u n d for Hong Kong. She sailed on Wednesday, the twenty-eighth of last month, and Mr. Cameron was put aboard, halfdrugged, as one of the crew." Monyon's Paw-Paw Hi«i asp unlikeailotsQ er lasatfvesor cathat* tics.

CHAPTER X X V I I . The Tortoise and the Hare. Although Miss Clement's interesting -.-chapter" of disclosures was by no means ended with the name of the steamer and its date of sailing, it there came, so far as I was concerned, at least, to an abrupt intermission. For, as though the delay and inaction of the past month but served to swell the flood of my eager energy, the tide, so )6ng checked but now set free, careering like an unleashed spring freshet, overrode all barriers. With scant apology, I sprang to the telephone, and if Miss Clement continued her conversation with Dr. Addison, I was deaf to what she said. What I sought, first of all, was corroboration Did a steamship, named the Glamorganshire, sail for Hong Kong on October 28th? In less than five minutes, the facts were mine. Such a steamer had sailed for the east on that date. Her agents were Bartlett Brothers. Their offices were in the Produce Exchange Building. Another minute, and Bartlett Brothers were on the wire. No, the Glamorganshire did not take the South American route. Her course was through the Mediterranean and the Sues Canal. She carried no passengers. She was British, She was very slow. She had called at the Azores and then at Gibraltar, where she had been delayed In coaling. Yes, she would make several Mediterranean ports. If all went well, she would reach Port Said about December 6th. Certainly not before that. Probably a day or so later. I dare-say it was exceptional that I secured all this information with so little trouble, and wttfriut giving any hint as to why I desired it, but merely on the statement that I was Mr. Clyde,, of The Week. ,, ^ (TO BE CONTINUED.)
