T H E SAVING HABIT. One of the most difficult and at tho

same time most essential of habits to form Is that of saving. Of course, there are many persons In all walks of life who, although they are in com* fortaple circumstances, are so penuri­ous as to be absolutely opposed to parting even with their pennies. Their very lives are controlled by the Idea of getting along with as little as pos­sible even at the risk of earning for themselves a reputation for stingi­ness. Such persons, however, make up a class all to themselves, and gen­erally deserve the contempt in which they are held by their fellow-beings. On the other hand, the spendthrift de­serves as much, if not more, condem­nation, perhaps, for the facility with which he allows his often hard-earned money to slip through his hands. There is a golden mean Between these two extremes of character and it is found in the ability of a man to save from his earnings sufficient for the proverbial rainy day. The advantages of saving may be demonstrated to us In many ways and on many occasions, but it remains for necessity to im­press its importance upon our minds. It may be that the manner of living may account in large measure for the universal habit of spending all that wo make—the opportunities for doing so are very great and at the same time seem very real and Imperative, and it is only after the pocket is emp­ty and we face stern necessity that we are able to discriminate between opportunity and temptation.

Palestine is fast becoming one of the great orange-growing countries of the world. Much fruit of excellent quality is being shipped every year to London and other markets in north­ern Europe, and this year the crop of the district near Jaffa, the port of Jerusalem, is estimated at 1,500,000 boxes. Farther up the Syrian coast Tyro and Sidon are expected to reach a total of 400,000 cases of oranges ex­ported and 200,000 cases of lemons. For a B m a l l country Palestine has many interesting and valuable prod­ucts. Its olive groves aro as produc­tive as they are ancient, and its vine­yards yield grapes of fine quality in great abundance. Notwithstanding the drawback of a sometimes very defici­ent and usually scanty water supply, Syria produces a large quantity of ex­cellent food. 13ut It is not easy to think of Palestine's exports of oranges without thinking of the immeasurably more important exports and ideas and ideals from that little country,

^ y comparison with the moral and spiritual forces which have gone out from Syria to enrich the world, all the products of the soil which can be shipped from the ports as long as the earth shall endure will be of little significance.

There has been a great deal of gos­sip to the effect that the little Don Jaimo, younger son of King Alfonso of Spain, is physically and mentally ^defective. A recent dispatch from Madrid announces that nine phys­icians recently held a consultation on his case and pronounce him per­fectly normal, though hef is afflicted with an affection of the cars which has persisted since his birth. When there is any shadow of basis for sen­sational statements concerning mem­bers of royalty, correspondents who thrive on gossip are sure to make the

Xorth i iciflc whalers are not unan­imous in acc« w 4 'n« the theory that whale fisheries are prating out on ac­count of the extinction of tho whales. One captain who notes that his ship and another made a ki l l of 187 last year and only 54 this year, thinks tho recent volcanic disturbances have made changes in ocean current* that have diverted the small fish on which the whales depend for food. He thinks that in time the whales will be back In their old-time haunts, or discovered In their new ones.

The United States consul at Prague cays there are practically no flies in Bohemia: He attributes the phenome­non to the fact that "everything is made of brick, stone or concrete, and the streets are cleaned several times a day." The reason why the fly is feared is that his habits are so dirty. Yet where he is numerous, his num­bers indicate the presence of dirt. Un­doubtedly the best way to get rid of flies is not to "swat" them, but to clean up.

Merchant Marine Flotilla Follows-Two Thousand Members of

Detroit's Board of Commerce ' Lake Trip

Proudly plowing the waters of the Detroit riwer, with flags and pennants fluttering in the invigorating October breezes and bearing men represena-tives of the various branches of com­merce and industry, a flotilla of 23 ves­sels, giants of the great lakes merchant marine, excursion and government craft, passed through the new Living-jtone channel Saturday afterncon, thus marking the formal opening of one of Uncle Sam's proudest engineering feats and an epoch in American marine history.

The booming of the national salute of 21 guns fired from the United States revenue cutter Morrell, the hoarse whistle blasts of big freighters .and the shrill screeches of yacht and mo­tor boats sirens marked the progress of the flotilla through the "cut r" the channel approach from the north, while thousands of enthusiastic men, women and children lining the shores of Grosse He, Boi3 Blanc Island and the great piles of limestone on either side of the channel, added their voices to the general din and noise-making.

Handles Steering Wheel. William Livingstone, president of

the Lake Carriers' association, dis­tinguished Detroiter and the man whose efforts more than those of any other made the new channel a reality, stood in the pilot house of the big freighter which bears My name and directed the course of the vessel which led the majestic procession clown river from Detroit and through the channel into Lake Erie.

Battle Creek Gets National Meet Battle Creek has landed the 1913 na­

tional encampment of the uniformed rank, Knights of the Modern Macca­bees, for Aug. 21 and 22. This will be one of tho biggest Maccabeo events ever held in Michigan, 15 of fho best drilled companies in the United States entering for the prizes in national competition and many more coming for tho parade and encampment.

The encampment will be combined with Battle Creek's annual fraternal outing day- a festival not duplicated in America—in which pratically every lodge in the city goes on a monster picnic, following a parade introducing the various drill teams, degree teams, and floats representing the work of the lodges.

Tn addition to the fraternal organ­izations in line, Battle Creek hopes to have a regiment—of stato troops for the occasion, and a commit toe will call upon the governor, alter election, to show its pla»s for handling the troops'and financing the proposition. One or two crack dril l learns that ap­proach the professional type also will be secured for exhibition purposes, the Jackson Zouaves, the Toledo Cherry Pickers and the hiKtV famous "white

• coftTpany" of Battle Creek, winner of national honors in competition, being considered.

May extend Labor Law to Waitresses Although he does not state positive­

ly that he will make a recommendation to the governor that the 54-hour law be made applicable to waitresses in hotels and restaurants, Labor Com­missioner Perry F. Powers strongly in­timated that he would take this action.

At the present time women and girls in stores and factories may note be kept at their tasKs more than 54 hours each week but there is no limitation on hotels and restaurants and cases have been known where these girls have been kept at work from 12 to 14 hours a day.

State Baptists Convention. The Baptists of Michigan closed their

state convention in Bay City with a program which presented two of the most forceful speakers of the denomi­nation, Rev. Henry F. Cope, D. D., of Chicago, and Rev. Samuel Z. Batten, D. D., of Des Moines. The former spoke on "The Educational Mission of the Church," and the latter "The Unfinished Task of the Baptists."

At a meeting of seven district super­intendents in-Grand Rapids it was de­cided to hold the next Michigan Met­hodist annual conference in Battle Creek, next September.

The Dynamiters Trial A ruling of considerable importance

was made by Judge Anderson in the dynamiting cases, when he denied a motion of the defense for permission to have access to all the books, papers and records taken from the offices of the iron workers, and now in the,dis­trict attorney's possession.

The court said that the defense should not be embarrassed by the rul­ing, as it would see that the defense is permitted to examine and introduce in evidence any specific documents for which it may make an application at the proper time.

Mr. Miller declared the motion of the defense was a false and fraudulent one, as it set out that the papers had been seized by private defectives and by police officers and had been turned over to the district attorney, whereas they came into custody of the district attorney under an order from the federal court.

Kimmel Case Again Soon Several Miles peopel have been noti­

fied to hold themselves in readiness to report for duty in tho court at St. Louis, Mo., next week, when the fam­ous Kimmel insurance case is to be brought on for another trial, this time in the state instead of tho federal court.

Discovery of Artificial Milk Synthec milk is the latest product

of the chemical laboratory. The new milk is the discovery of three German chemists at Frankfort-on-the-Main. It is the same color as the animal liquid, and scientists' accounts of the recovery assert that it is more nour ishiug and more easily assimilated than rho cow's product, and non-tuber­cular.

The artificial milk is composed en­tirely of vegetable ingredient, digest­ed by machinery instead of iy the cow, and 13 said to krep sweet longer than ordinary milk. Its strength, it is said, can be standardized for the use of family, infant or invalid. Accord­ing to the reports which have reached this city, the new product can be pro­fitably manufactured to retail at six cenis a quart.

Doctors Fcund Him Much Fatigued In Consequence of His Activities

During Saturday

Colonel Roosevelt plunged back into the campaign Saturday afternoon in earnest, picking up the fight for the\ Progressive party where it was cut short in Milwaukee last Monday night.

To Francis J. Heney, also scarred by the bullet of an assassin, the colo­nel gave his answer to a challenge, now half withdrawn, hurled at him by his political opponents. He dictated a message for the California prosecu­tor to carry into Wisconsin that sketched in vigorous phrases the full details of the Progressive trust pro­gram.

The issuing of the statement fol­lowed close upon the heels of an announcement by the attending Bur­geons that the colonel would be per­mitted to leave Mercy hospital Mon­day morning.

Fatigued by Strenuous Day. The doctors found him much fa­

tigued in consequence of his activ­ities during the day. In fact, he was so tired that the doctors were ap­prehensive for a time that he might have a serious setback, an&jthey made the most thorough examination of him that they have made since his arrival in Chicago from Milwaukee.

"The colonel simply does not realize what a serious matter his wound is." Dr. Murphy said as he was emerging from the hospital.

"We took him severely to task for his strenuousness during the day and we simply must save him from him­self. He seems almost beyond holding in check.- .

"Tho colonel must remain abso­lutely quiet all of tomorrow. The very suggestion of his taking a motor ride is preposterous. He cannot see any­body tomorrow except the members of his immediate family."

Bulgaria Sends Army Into Turkey Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 18.—A striking

proclamation to the Bulgarian nation has been isteued by King Ferdinand.

In it he recounts the sufferings of the Macedonian Christians and the efforts of the European powers to se­cure better treatment for them, and finally says that he has called his people to arms only after the patience of the Balkan nations has been ex­hausted.

The proclamation opens wth a re­ference to King Ferdinand's peaceful reign of 25 years and says he had hoped that it would have so continued; "but. Providence judged otherwise. Tho moment has come when the Bul­garian race is colled upon to renounce the benefits of peace and to have re­course to arms for the solution of the great problem.

"Our work is a just, a great ar.d a sacred one.

"Wi th faith in ihe protection and support of tho Almighty, I bring to the cognizance of. the Bulgarian na­tion that this is a war for human rights.

"I order the brave Bulgarian army to march on to Turkish territory"

"Forward! , May God be with you!"

S T A T E NEWS IN BRIEF

City churches are thriving, . but churches in the smaller towns are losing ground, was the declaration of Dr. Lee McCollester of Detroit in a report to the joint conference of Uni-versalist, Unitarian and Independent churches iu Grand Rapids.

Dissention over awarding francheses is so strong among charter revision commissioners that Battle Creek may not get a chance to vote on a new charter next spring. Despite t^iat the commissioners represent both repub­licans and democrats, the body has agreed that Battle Creek shall be operated under the commission form of government, subject to the voters' approval.

The members of the state military board and Dr. Hayes, the special mili­tary commission, are looking over a proposed site for a permanent Michi­gan national guard camp. The site is at Portage Lake, about four miles from Grayling. Thirteen thousand acres surrounding the lake is offered the state without cost by R. Hansen.

Confession of the robbery of" the ^Riverdale postofflce, the night of Octo-

tser1-10, has been made to Assistant United States District Attorney J . Edward Bland by Charles Easthan, arrested in Bay City October 11, on a charge of drunkenness, under the name of Charles Burke.

"It hardly seems possible that the state has nearly $2,000,000 more money in the treasurer today than a year ago," remarked Auditor-General Fuller. A year ago Oct. 15 there was a balance in the state treasury of $226,-6S9.&4, \yhile now there is $2,162,026.55.

The story of the Big Farmer \\n Western Canada, and the immense profits he has made in the g r o w i n g s grain, has been told atiid retold. He-has been found in a)J PHrts ot |ne provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan* >and Alberta. Jtfis.splendid farm budd­ings have been pictured, "his tractlbn outfits described and his princely sur­roundings, resultant of his success, in^. growing grain, have been portrayed 1>y letter, press and camera. It certainly is not to his discredit that by suc­cessfully applying common sense ahd< up-to-date methods to the conditions; that climate, a good soil, and splendid; market have placed at hand, that he; has made the best use of them. He is not too proud to admit that he came-to the country a very few years ago handicapped as to money, leaving be­hind him unpaid mortgages in his old home land (which are now wiped out), and he is still today the same good-hearted fellow he was in the days that he had to work for a neighbor, while the neighbor broke tho land on his homestead, which went to make up the: settlement duties.

Then, there, too, is the farmer and the farmer's son, already wealthy, who has bought large holdings in Western Canada, in either Manitoba, Saskatche* wan or Alberta, who has made forty to one hundred per cent, on his invest* ment, whose big grain crops and

.whose immense cattle herds are help­ing to improve the country. Health and strength, energy and push, and bull dog grit are as essential in West­ern Canada as in Ohio, Indiana, Ill i­nois, Iowa, or any of the states from which so many of these people come, *and then, when you have added to that a fair amount of means, with which to make a start, the land which is only waiting for the ski l l of th^ husbandman will quickly respond.

But there is the smaller farmer, the. man who has not made sufficient in four or five years, that he might com* fortably retire if he felt like it. There are many of them in all the three Provinces. It is not the less to his credit that he has earned his home* stead by the three years residence, that he is free from debt, and has a reasonable bank account. He, too, came to the country handicapped by debts, and with very little means. He is contented, has a good home, land free of encumbrance, some stocfc, and with good prospects. One of these writes: "I formerly lived near Day* ton, Ohio, on a rented farm, had as good a chance as the average renter, but after ton years of hard work, satis­fied myself that if I ever expected to secure a home, I would have to under­take something else. Hearing of West­ern Canada, I investigated, and seven years ago last Spring settled in a homestead and purchased (on time) an adjoining half section, arriving with a carload of household effects and farm implements, including^ four horses and three cows, and $1,800 in money—my ten years' work in Ohio.

"The first year our crops gave us feed, the second year 100 acres of wheat gave us $1,800; no failure of crop since starting here. I have now 22 head of horses, 15 head of cattle, and 35 hogs. We own 1,120 acres of land, and have same all under cultiva­tion. Was offered at one time $35.00 per acre for a half section where we live, and all the other land could be* sold today on present market at $30.0fr per acre. Should we care to dispose of our holdings, could pay al l debts and have over $30,000 to the good, but. the question is where could we go to. invest our money and get as good re­turns as here?

"We have equally as good, if not bet­ter prospects for crops this year, as we had three years ago, when our wheat reached from 30 to 48 bushels per acre. ©I never believed such crops could be raised until I saw them my­self. I had 15 acres that year, that made 50 bushels to the acre. Our har­vest wi l l be ready by the 12th. We* have this season in crop 400 acres of wheat, 125 of oats, 90 of flax, and run three binders, with four men to do the stooking.

"We certainly like this country, ;and V, the winters, although the winters: are cold-at times, but we do not suffer as one would think. What we have ac­complished here can be duplicated in almost any of the new districts. If anyone doubts anything I have said In this letter, tell them to come here, and I can prove every word I r have • written."

The name of the writer can be had , from the Superintendent of Immigra*. tlon, Ottawa, Canada, who can give.- A the names of hundreds of others/ equally successful. Adv. r v#

he said thickly. He took his purse from.his pocket and counted out the amount due Hicks. He named tho total, and paused irrestfretely.

"Don't you want tho fire lighted 7" asked Hicks. He was familiar with his employer's vacillating moods.

"Yes," answered Ware, his Hps quivering; and slowly, with shaking fingers, he added to the pile of bills In Hicks* hand.

"Well, take care of yourself," said Hicks, when the count was complete. He thrust the roll of bills into his pocket and moved to the door.

Alone again, the planter collapsed Into his chair, breathing heavily, but his terrors swept over him and left him with a savage sense of triumph. This passed; he sprang up, intending to recall Hicks and unmake his bar­gain. What had he been thinking or —safety lay only in flight! Before he reached the door his greed was in the ascendant-. He dropped down on the edge of his bed, his eyes fixed on the window. The sun sank lower. From where he sat he saw It through the upper half of the sash, blood-red and livid in a mist of fieecy clouds.

It was In the tops of the old oaks now, which sent their shadows Into his room. Again maddened by his terrors, he started and backed toward the door; but again his greed, the one dominating influence of his life, vanquished him.

He watchsd the sun sink. . He watched the red splendor fade over the river; he saw the first stars ap­pear., He told himself that Hicks would soon be gone—if the fire was not to be lighted he must act at once! He. stole to the window., it was dusk now, yet he could distin­guish the distant wooded boundaries of the great fields framed by the dark­ening sky; Then in the silence he heard the thud of hoofs.

CHAPTER XXVI.

The Judge Names Hit 8econd. "Price—" began Mahaffy. They were

back in Raleigh ln the room the Judge called his officer and this was Ma­haffy's first opportunity to ease his mind on the subject of the duel* as they had only Just parted from Yancy and Cavendish, who had stopped at one of the stpres to make certain purchases for the raft. , "Not a word, 8oiomon-*it had to come. I am going to kill him. i shall feel better then."

"What if he kills your demanded Mahaffy harshly. The judge shrugged Ills shoulders.

"That is as it may be." "Have you forgotten your grand-

sept?" Mahaffy's voice was still harsh and rasping.

"I rega:^ my saeeting with Fentress i s notbit i M s man a sacred dntr b aim.?

"We know no more than we did this morning," said Mahaffy. "You are mixing up all sorts ot side Issues with what should be your real pur­pose." '

"Not at all, Solomon—not at all! 1 look upon my grandson's speedy re* covery as an assured fact. Fentress dare not hold him. He knows he is run to earth at last"

"Price—" "No, Solomon—no, my friend, we

will not speak of it again. You wil l go back to Belle Plain with Yancy and Cavendish; you must represent me there. We have as good as found Hannibal, but we must be active in Miss Malroy's behalf. For us that has an important bearing on the future, and since I cannot, you must be at Belie Plain when Carrlngton arrives with his pack of dogs. Qiva him the advantage of your sound and mature Judgment, Solomon; don't let any false modesty keep you in the back­ground.

"Who's going to second you?" snapped Mahaffy.

The judge was a picture of indif­ference.

"It will be quite informal, the code Is scarcely applicable; 1 merely in­tend to remove him because he Is not fit,, to live."

"At sun-up!" muttered Mahaffy. "I intend to start one day right

even if I never live to begin another," said the judge, a sudden fierce light flashing from his eyes. "I feel that this is the turning point in my ca­reer, Solomon!" he went on. 'The beginning of great things! But 1 shall take no chances with the fu­ture; I shall prepare for every pos. sible contingency. I am going to make you and Yancy my grandson's guardians. There's a hundred thou­sand acres of land hereabout that must come to him. I shall outline in writing the legal steps to be taken to substantiate his claims. Also he wil l inherit largely from me at my death."

Something very like laughter es» caped from Mahaffy's lips.

"There you go, Solomon, with "your Inopportune mirth! What in God's name have I if I haven't hope? Take

don't live to enjoy what's mine, my I'll warm the cockles of your.heart with imported brandy. I carry twenty years' hunger and thirst under my wes-coat, and I'll feed and drink like a gentleman yet!" The judge smacked his lips in an ecstacy of enjoyment, and dropping down before the table which served him as a desk, seized a pen.

"It's good enough to think about, Price," admitted Mahaffy grudgingly.

"It's better to do; and if anything happens to me the papers I am going to leave will tell you how it's to be done. Man, there's a million of money in sight, and we've got to get it and spend it and enjoy it! None of your swinish thrift for me, but life on a big scale—company, and feasting, and refined surroundings!"

"And you are going to meet Fen­tress in the morning?" asked Mahaffy. "I suppose there's no way of avoiding that?"

"Avoiding it?" almost shouted the Judge. "For what have I been Jiving? I shall meet him, let -the consequences be what they may. Tonight when I have reduced certain facts to writing I shall join you at Belle Plain. The strange and nielancholy history of m^ life I shall place in your hands fo£ safe keeping. In the morning I can be driven back to Boggs'."

"And you wii l go there without a second?"

"If necessary; yes." "I declare, Price, you are hardly

fitted to be at large! Why, you act as if you were tired of life! There's Yancy—there's Cavendish!"

The judge gave him an indulgent but superior smile,

"Two very worthy men, but I go to Boggs' attended by a gentleman or i go there alone.. I am aware of your prejudices, Solomon; otherwise I might ask this favor of you."

Mr. Mahaffy snorted loudly and turned to the door, for Yancy and Cavendish were now approaching the house, the latter with a meal sack slung over his shoulder.

"Here, Solomon, take one of my pistols," urged the Judge hastily. Tom's stammering speech, he was

if tho dogs were to be ased with any hope of success he had no time to spare, and this was the merest sus­picion, illogical conjecture, based on nothing beyond his distrust of Ware. In the end he sprang from the saddle, and leading his horse into.,the woods, tied it to a sapling.

A hurried investigation told him that rive men had ridden in and out ot that path. Of the five, all coming from tho south, four had turned south again, but the fifth man—Ware, in other words—had gone north. He weighed the possible significance of these facts.

"I am only wasting time!" he con­fessed reluctantly, and was on the point,o f turning away, when, on the very edge of the road and just where the dust yielded to the hard clay of the path, his glance lighted on the print of a small and daintily shod foot. The throbbing of his heart quickened curiously.

"Betty!" The word leaped from his lips.

That small foot had left but the one impress. There were other signs, however, that claimed his attention; namely, the boot-prints of Slosson and his men; and he made the in­evitable discovery that these tracks were/ all confined to the one spot They began suddenly and as sudden­ly ceased, yet there was no mystery about these; he had the marks ot the wheels to help him to a sure conclu­sion. A carriage had turned just here, several men had alighted; they had with them a child, or a woman. Either they had re-entered the car* riage and driven back as they had come, or they had gone toward the river. He felt the soul within him turn sick.

He stole along the path; the,terror of the river was ever in his thoughts, and the specter of his fear seemed to flit before him aud lure him on. Pres­ently he caught his first glimpse of the bayou and his legs shook under him; but the path wound deeper still into what appeared to bo an un­touched solitude, wound on between tho crowding tree forms, a little back from the shore, with an intervening tangle of vines and bushes, l ie scanned this closely as he hurried

FOR THE IDEAL PUMPKIN P i t Why Wait Until Thanksgiving to En­

joy This Exclusively American Delicacy ?—Make lt Nov<

Our neighbor came to call early this morning with lips stained a dark purple from a saunter through the arbor; on his arm he carried a basket of grapes and in each hand a big red apple, and in his bottonhole a spray of golden rod, and the first red autumn leaf made him quite gorgeous. Under his arm he carried a pumpkin, so we Invited him to breakfast.

One should not wait until Thanks­giving for the first pumpkin pie, but begin putting their appetite in train­ing for the feast by some preliminary work on the American pastry.

Steam the pumpkin instead of boil­ing it, and when cool press it through a fine sieve or vegetable press.

For each pie allow a pint of this strained pumpkin, one cup of rich milk, one egg, one-half cup of sugar, one teaspoon of ginger, one-half tea­spoon of allspice, one-half teaspoon of cinnamon and a little salt. . If the milk is brought to the boil­ing point before the other ingredients are added the pie will bake more smoothly.

The crust should be baked before the filling is put in, as this prevents it becoming soggy- Unlike most cus­tard pies, pumpkin requires to be baked quickly. Wrhen the top is brown, firm to the touch and glossy it is done. —Henrietta D. Grauel, in the Cleveland Loader.

TRY THE CASEMENT SCHEME One of the Most Effective and Eco­

nomical Window Dressings That H a s Been Devised.

One of the neatest and prettiest ways of dressing the window of a room in which it is not desirable to have flowing draperies is ro use the casement scheme of decorations. For this purpose there comes a specially sheer and fine cotton material called casement cloth, through which the light shines although the interior of the room is shielded from outside eyes, but a similar charming effect may be produced by cotton voile, by Chinese or waeh silk, none of which materials are costly. The arrange­ments of the drapery aro simple. It is shirred scanily at both its ends upon flne sliding rods of brass which fit into grooves at top and bottom of the casement, if it be a full length French window and against the sliding case­ments, if the window is of the Ameri­can type, Another advantago of this scheme of window dressing is the ease with which the draperies may bo laun­dered, for, being straight, guiltless of ruffles and always unstarched, the merest tyro may wash, iron and read­just them.

The Judge waved this aside. "The means will be found, Solo­

Presently Carrlngton's glance ceas­ed to follow the windings of the path. He stared down at the gray dust and daw the trail left by Hues and his "You may need lt at Belle Plain. Good by, and Qod bless you!"

CHARTER XXVII.

Bess Leads to Betty. Just where he bad parted from

Ware, Carrlngton sat his horse, his brows knit and his eyes turned ln tho direction of the path. He was on his way to a plantation below Birard, the owner of which had recently import­ed a fJSck of bloodhounds; but this unexpected encounter with Ware had affected him strangely. He still heard party. For a moment he hesitated; ,

wTs se^Fchlng tor some tfampled space at the water's edge; but tho verdant wall preserved its unbroken continuity, and twenty minutes later he camo within Eight "of Hicks' clear­ing and the keol boat, where it rested against tho bank.

A little farther on ho found the spot where Slosson had launched the skiff the night before. Tbe keel of hia boat had cut deep into the slippery clay; more than this, the impress of the small shoe was repeated here, and just beside it was the print of a child's bare loot.

i

He no longer doubted that iietty and Hannibal had been taken nrross the bayou to the cabin, and he ran back up the path the distance of a mile and plunged into the woods on his right, his purpose being to pass around the head of the expanse of sluggish water to a point from which he could later approach the cabin.

But tho cabin proved to bo better defended than he had foreseen; and as he advanced, the difficulties of the task he had set himself became al­most Insurmountable; yet sustained as he was by his imperative need, he tore his way through the labyrinth of trailing vines, or floundered across acre-wide patches of green slime and black mud, which at each step threat­ened to engulf him in their treacher­ous depths, until at the end of an hour he gained the southern side of the clearing and a firmer footing within the shelter of the woods.

Here he paused and took stock of his surroundings. The two or three buildings Mr. Hicks had erected stood midway of the clearing and were very modest improvements adapted to their owner's somewhat flippant pursuit of agriculture. While Carrlngton was still staring about him, the cabin door swung open and a woman stepped forth. It was the girl Bess. She went to a corner of the building and called loudly:

••Joe! Oh, Joe!" Carrlngton glanced In the direction

of the keel boat and an instant later saw Slosson clamber over its side. The tavern-keeper crossed to the cab* in, jgfeere he was met by Bess, who placed in his hands what seemed to bo a wooden bowl. With this ho slouched oft to one of the outbuild­ings, which he entered. Ten or fif­teen minutes slipped by, then he came from the shed and after securing tho door, returned to the cabin. He was again met by Bess, who relieved film' of the bowl; they exchanged a few words and Slosson walked away and afterward disappeared over the side ot the keel boat.

This much was clear to the Ken-tucklan: food had been taken to some one in the shed—to Betty and tho boy!—more likely to George.

10. Acres of modem farm machin­ery and dairy barn devices, with in­struction as to their use.

11. The judgment of world's best experts in selecting the best types of cows, for your use.

12. Shows and exhibitions are mile* stones marking progress; by compar­ison alone can we keep up with all that tends to advance our interests.

In these twelve reasons why you should attend the National Dairy Show in October, we believe an analy­sis will discover to you that the Show contains ten days of education on the highest standards of farm life. Dairy states are rich states, dairy countries are rich countries, and the men and women engaging in intelligent dairy­ing are the successful men and wom­en of our country.

Farmers as one-half of the social world, furnishing food and raw mate­rials to the other half and receiving from it the comforts, instruction and pleasures of life, should put them­selves into the closest ministration to the mechanical, professional and com­mercial sides of their industry.

Diplomacy In Small Things. Little Eldlse Cave, aged seven years,

was visiting her grandmother in Madi­son, Va., and was sent to carry a saucer of ice cream to a neighbor. By the exercise of infinite care she con­veyed her burden safely to the house and gave it into the hands of the lady for whom it was intended. The lady, however, was less careful than Eloise had been, and dropped the saucer and broke it.

"You needn't mind about that," said the little diplomat, without an instant's hesitation. "I don't think grandma kiia a cup to match tho. saucer. If sho has I will go right home and break it myself."—Popular Magazine.

Accelerated Brain Activity. In the early days of Wisconsin, two

of the most prominent lawyers of tho state were George R Smith and I.

A certain case had been dragging along through a hot summer day when Sloan sprang to h i 3 feet, with his remark, "Your honor, t havo an idea."

Smith immediately bounded up, as­sumed an impressive attitude, and i^n^ great solemnity said:

"May it please the court, I move that a writ of habeas corpus/be is­sued by this court immediately to take the learned y n : 'man's idea out of solitary confinement."—Popular Maga­zine.

TIE world h littered with failures caused by eyes that could not see opportunity at the door. The combination of the untrained eye and the untrained mind is a handicap that ties the world to drudgery. It is the man whose c»ye sees beneath the surface of

things who wins success. Accurate observation is one of the rarest aits in the world. The un­

disciplined eye jumps to conclusions that have no reality in fact. The mind ie blinded and deceived by eyes that lie. It is a common occurrence in court to have two honest witnesses differ diametrically upon essential points of their testimony. Try to describe from memory your most inti* mate friend so that a stranger could pick him out of a crowd and you rill discover how little you have been using your eyes.

It is the man or woman who sees things overlooked by others, things to which others have been blind, who achieves success. It was because Watt could see an enormous power of tremendous potentiality in the steam which lifted the lid of the bubbling tea kettle that we have the steam engine of today, and yet steam had been making noisy tea kettles for thousands of years for unseeing eyes. And it is the same in all the great discoveries Jhftt have changed this world from savagery to civilization. It is the art of seeing with trained eyes.

The boy or girl who sets out deliberately to train eye and the regis­tering mind to accurate observation has taken the first great step in real self-education. They are giving themselves the best equipment for the battle of life and preparing themselves to welcome opportunity. v< It was a young man who had trained himself to see under the surface of things who made a fortune out of discarded tin cans in a western min­ing camp. The cans littered the streets and alleys where they had been thrown by the hungry, careless miners. They were kicked about and trod­den upon by hundreds of money-mad men daily, but he one day noticed that one of the waste cans, partly submerged in the water that was pumped from the mines, collected a thin coat of copper. He saw that thousands of dollars' worth of copper in solution was going to waste in the water that poured from the mines. He saw that the tin cans caught this fleeing cop­per and precipitated it. In a few years he was one of the nation's mining magnates.

Train the eye to see things as they are, to see things which the most of us are overlooking as commonplace. Nature is still holding back many secrets the discovery of which may be as profound in results upon civiliza­tion as the advent of steam or electricity, and they are secrets that will be yielded only to the trained eye and disciplined brain.

Two things are requisite foT the healthy and happy growth and develop­ment of the children—a playground and a garden. Children need a place like an empty barn in which they can swing and amuse themselves in wet and wintry as well as in hot sultry weather, indulging those games which are requisite for the schooling alike of their muscles and nerves.

Fashion has exerted a baleful influence over the best feelings of the mother, for she has became willing to sacrifice the health and well-being of/her children by

"unsightly exposure of the arms and legs, which is often attended by the most serious injury to the child. Merino undershirts should be worn fby the girls in winter weather, woolen stockings and heavy shoes.

Avoid guarding the neck and throat of boys and girls. By reason of the proximity of the neck to the seat of circulation this very quickly [has the temperature unduly increased by an excess of covering, to relieve 'which the articles surrounding the neck are often suddenly removed. 'Perspiration is then checked and throat diseases of course follow. I As the child advances in age his desire for employment and amuse­ment will increase. Every proper opportunity, therefore, should be given for the due exercise of both body and mind, but neither should be too fatigued. Care should be taken at this time to provide such employment or amusement as shall exercise the arms as well as the legs, playing ball! pitching horseshoes and the like. After selecting proper games and exer­cises for children constant care should be taken that none are indulged in to excess. ! Every violent exertion is attended by a strain upon some one part 'or other of the body.

In jumping from great heights, leapin jover elevations, lifting great weights, in fact, in every exertion of this kind the boy risks producing a disability for life. It is by these hazardous experiments that ruptures are so frequently produced. On this account the exercises of a well-regulated gymnasium become so valuable, as the performances are grad­uated, beginning with the most easy and progressively arriving at the more difficult

In our mad scramble after the almighty dollar we forget that there is something of far more value than gold, something which some of our wealthiest and most influential men do not possess, something that the poorest man has a chance to have and some* thing which very few men can rightly lay claim to. , "What is that?" you may ask. No need to hesitate before replying. It is a spotless reputation.

A person with good brains can amass a fortune, a hypocrite can deceive persons into believing him a saint and a person with

i any sort of grit can gain success in a way, but it must be a person of tre­mendous will power who can withstand temptations and elude the many piifaHs that lure the unsuspecting down the path of destruction.

It is hard to keep in the straight road and lead a straight life in the face of temptations, but no battle can be won without fighting.

The straight path is not lined with beds of roses* Neither is it lined with drinking saloons. * ,

Hardships must be met bravely, joy and sorrow often come hand in hjwd.

MEDICAL RECORD OF CASES

MURDER NOT INFREQUENTLY COMMITTED IN DEEP

SLUMBER.

One of the Most Remarkable Instances of "Bad Dreams" Is Reported From London, England—German Slew Wife Whom He Imagined to Be 8pccter—Dreams Have Been Known to Produce All Sorts of Disease Symptoms In Those Afflicted-—One Striking Case In Point.

New York.—At half past one of a moonlit morning a policeman named Humphreys was leisurely strolling his beat when he was startled by a pierc­ing shriek of "Ob, my children! Save my children!" followed by a sound of breaking glass, writes Jaffrey Han­cock in the New York World. Next instant something that he took to be a bundle of clothing was thrown out of a window directly above him, and fell at his feet Stooping* he discov­ered to hia amazement that it was a baby, unconscious, with blood stream­ing from its head. The s h r l e k B of 'Save my children!" continued.

Constable Humphreys blew his whistle, and, to the three officers who instantly responded from nearby streets, explained:

"Quick! Murder ia being done in yonder house! This baby was thrown out of the window. Qet in­side as fast ae you can, while I take

Fatally Shot Wife. it to the infirmary. It's still alive, and perhaps can be saved."

The three policemen beat an angry tattoo on the door and were admitted by a white-faced man, who explained that it was a boarding-house, and that ho was tho landlord. On the way up­stairs tbe sound of breaking glass was again heard, and more shrieks. The officers readily located the room whence the noises came, but found it locked. "Open up!" cried one of them. "The police are here!" A woman's voice continued to cry, "Save my children!" There was a sound as of some one stumbling about, and the door was unlocked.

The policemen sprang forward into a room lighted only by the moon. One struck a match to a lamp, and all three looked eagerly around. They saw, on a bed, a little girl, crying bit­terly; on the floor, a young boy, bleeding from glass cuts and cling­ing in fright to the night gown of his mother, who stood staring wildly at the officers.

"She has gone insane," whispered one.

"No," said another, "she is asleep." He shook her violently by the shoul­

ders, and shouted into her ear. She gave a convulsive start, trembling all over. Then the expression in her eyes changed. She looked inquiringly at the officers.

"Oh!" ahe shrieked. "I did it! I must have done it! But it was In my sleep. I dreamed that my little boy told me the house waa on fire, and that I dropped the baby out to save her. I must actually have done BO. Oh, sirs, did nobody catch her? Is she badly hurt?"

"She has been taken to the in­firmary. We will wait outside while you dress. Then you can accompany us there, and find out how she is."

At the infirmary scant hopes were given tbe agonized mother. Besides being badly cut, her baby was suffer­ing from concussion of the brain. Hap­pily, the excellent care it received and the blessing of a strong constitution enabled It to belie the physician's dire prediction, and win a slow recovery to health. Dreamed of Thieves, Shot Hia Wife.

Sensational as this occurrence must bo considered, it is but one of many similar mishaps that have within re­cent years aroused physicians and psychologists to a realization of the Importance of studying attentively the condition of the mind during sleep; Dreaming is no longer considered a mere ^ntastic, incidental and harm* less accompaniment of the sleeping state.

Dangerous Dreams. In a most literal sense, and to an

extent unsuspected by tbe general public, there are "dreams that kill" by impelling the dreamer to commit in­voluntary suicide, or to attempt "un­conscious murders" similar to that for Which, if it had succeeded, the unhap­py mother In the London boarding-house would always have experienced the bitterest grief. And in many cases murders committed as the re­sult of a terrifying dream are only too successful.

Thus, to recall one or two that have <

found ezwwing recoVd In the annals of medical jurisprudence, Bernard Scbidmaizig, a German, dreamed one night that a fearsome specter, 0} "woman in white," was standing menacingly over him. Panic-stricken, he leaped out of bed while still asleep, seised a hatchet, and attacked the supposed phantom.

It fell at the first blow, and Schld-maizig heard a loud cry, which fully awakened him. He now saw that the "ghoat" was none other than his wife, who had got out of bed tor some pur­pose, and that he had severely wound­ed her. She died the next day.

In Chicago, a patient of Dr. Henry M. Lyman, dreaming of burglars, drew a revolver from beneath his pillow and fired wildly in every direction un­til it was completely discharged. He then awoke, to discover that he had fatally shot his wife, lying by his side. And, under the influence of > similar dream, a young man of twenty shot and killed his father, to whom he was devotedly attached. At his trial, for murder he testified:

"I must have fired the gun in my sleep. I recollect seeing nothing, nor am I conscious of having spoken. The night waa ap bright that every­thing could have \ been seen. I must have been dreaming that thieves had broken in."

But even more sinister, because of far more widespread occurrence and the greater difficulty in getting at the true state of affairs, is the role often played by dreams in affecting un­favorably the health of those having them. Incredible though it may seem, modern psychological investigation has conclusively demonstrated that there are dreams whose effects con­tinue Into the waking state, producing all sorts of disease' symptoms.

A striking case in point is afforded by the experience of a young woman who came under the observation of that well-known Boston neurologist, Dr. George A. Waterman. She com­plained of a persiBtent headache, a sensation of nausea, and a peculiarly bitter taste in her mouth, a taste which she could not get rid of, in spite of having diligently tried to do so by gargling, cleaning her teeth, etc. She explained that she had awakened early in the morning with these symptoms which had continued ever since.

Queer Result of Dream. Dr. Waterman, failing to find any

physical cause for her trouble, sus­pected that a morbid dream might be at the bottom of it, and questioned her closely. But she could not recall hav­ing dreamed at all for some time past. He then requested permission to hyp­notize her, explaining that persons when hypnotized often found it pos­sible to remember things that had dropped entirely out of - recollection in the normal state. • -

Sure enough, in hypnosis the young woman informed him that the night before the symptoms devoloped she had had an exceptionally unpleasant dream. She was climbing a1 one up a steep and rocky path, feeling unut­terably miserable. On a beautiful lake far below she saw a number of her friends amusing themselves. She felt strangely envious of them. Sud­denly one friend, a woman who had recently died, appeared before her on the path and offered her a glass filled with a dark liquid, saying to her, "Drink, for once dead you shall never return."

Tasted the Draught. "Then," the dreamer continued, "I

sat down by the side of the path, and thought, 'Why should I not drink it? There ls nothing for me~4n life.* So I

bleeome symptoms upon the blotting out ef the dream from her "subcon­scious" memory by suggestions direct­ed to that end.

Past Event Cause of Bad Dream. Another patient of Dr. Waterman,

a girl of twenty-one, had been trou­bled for nearly a year by frequent at* tacks of severe pain in the right side. As lu the previous case no organic cause for the pain could be found and it was similarly traced to the baneful effect of a peculiar dream—a dream ot moving a piano which rapidly grew heavier while she raised it from th* floor, until it caused a severe pain extending from her right arm through her right aide into the leg. All at once the piano fell with a crash, and the dreamer awoke to experience a distinct sensation of pain In ber right side.

Investigation brought to light the fact that some time earlier a piano had actually figured prominently in an episode most disturbing to the pa­tient. This explained the. symptom*

Her Shrieks Summoned the. Police­man.

took the glass and put it to my lips, but it tasted, oh, sd bitter. It puck­ered my mouth, and I said, 7 cannot drink it. Life is bitter enough, but this death is more bitter still.' I flung the glass from me, and it changed into a bubble and floated off in the air: *

"I awoke after this with a headache and feeling awfully ill . Then I no­ticed what an odd, bitter taste there was in my mouth and I got up and brushed my teeth. But I could not get rid of it."*

Knowing the circumstances of her private history, the neurologist did not doubt that the dream, by touching on certain sad passages in her life, had affected her so keenly as to acquire a firm lodgment in the "sub-conscious" portion of her mind, whence it would have to be expelled before aT cure could be wrought Tbatthis view was correct was shown by the total and permanent disappearance of the trott*

"I Drtumed That She Offered Me a Strange DHnk."

producing power of that particular dream, and cleared the way to a speedy cure, the pain Soon disappear­ing under treatment by suggestion.

Caused Marital Estrangement. More often the disease symptoms

resulting from pathological dreams are mental rather than physical is character. A most peculiar case is on record In which a husband developed an unaccountable antipathy to his wife. He himself could not explain it, but he treated her so badly that a di­vorce was talked of. Luckily, a mutual friend Induced him to consult a phys­ician who understood the methods of modern medical psychology. He was put into the hypnotic state, and while in that state related a dream ln which his wife told their children that their father was a very uncouth man, a de­claration which, in the dream, had re­sulted in a violent quarrel between the parents.

Waking, he had forgotten aU about this dream, but '"subconsciously" it had remained to plague h i m , and even­tually to give rise to his strange dis­like of the wife he truly loved.

HAVE RABIES STAMPED OUT Persistent Work In Great Britain Has

Had Results That Are Most Gratifying.

At the present time rabies does not exist in Great Britain. The last sus­pected cases of rabies becured there in 1908, but diagnosis showed that the. suspicion was unfounded. This British Immunity has been obtained only by the taking or great pains. Consul-General Griffiths of London has con­tributed interesting information on this subject to the Dally Consular and Trade Reports. The principal way in which rabies has been exterminated has been by the issuance of muzzling orders, which are very strictly en­forced. In Loudon and other populous cities, and throughout the large manu­facturing districts, the muzzling of all dogs remains in force for twelve months or longer; in other districts, six months or longer, according to the circumstances in each case. The own­er of every dog six months old* ls re­quired to obtain an annual license, which costs $1.83, for each animal, and the animal must wear a collar bearing the name and address of the owner.

When a dog feels ill in the early stages of rabies it is anxious to get away from its home and to go "on the march/' Cases are known where dogs BO affected have been found to have continued "on the march" for seventy miles. In consequences of this fact, whenever an outbreak occurs the area brought under the Jurisdic­tion of a muzzling and confirming order is very large. To prevent, if. possible, the spread of the disease the provi­sions of the act are applied at once to the entire territory.

Whenever an actual or suspected case of rabies is reported, an order is issued requiring every dog within the district and the surrounding area where the outbreak occurred to be kept under control by confinement in a kennel or other inelosure from which the dogs cannot escape; or securing it by a collar or chain; or efficient muzzling with an effective wire cage muzzle. The dog must also be led by a collar and chain or other attachment

Every dog attacked by rabies must be immediately slaughtered.

Inside the magnificent dome of the Capitol at Washington there have been painted by famous artists from time to time allegorical pictures Ulustrat-ing the history of the country—for in­stance, "The Landing of Columbus," "De Soto Discovering the Mississippi River," "William Penn's Treaty With the Indians," "Tbe Surrender of Corn-wallle," "The War With Mexico," "The War of 1812," and so on, depicting the country's history up to the time of tbe War of the Rebellion, and then there is a space which is blank. It has been blank for forty years at least, and there is no prospect that it will ever be filled ln as it should be. I see by a recently published statement that It Is the intention of the Government of­ficials to Ignore everything that has happened in the interval and resume by Illustrating incidents of the late war with Spain.

In the chapel at West Point belong­ing to the United States Military Academy and attended by cadets from aU parts of the United States there are tablets of polished metal and stone set in the walls Inscribed: T o the memory of the, soldiers and sailors who fell in the war for independence:', "To the soldiers and sailors who feU In the war with Mexico," "To the memory of the soldiers and sailors who fell in the war with Spain," etc., but to the memory of those who fell in the war for the preservation of the nation's life there is not a word recorded.

Small wonder that an old Union soldier says:

"Comrades, I'm getting old and things seem mixed; tell me, was I, were you, on the right side from 1861 to 1865? Is there no difference be tween the Union and secession, be tween loyalty and treason? Are late rebels more deserving of honors and emoluments than men who counted not their lives dear if they could save tbe land they loved?

"We soldiers of the North have no desire to revive the animosities of the war, but by these acts we are forc­ed to protest or always be on the de tensive.

"We were eternally right or eternal­ly wrong—there ls no middle ground If we were right we ought to cham­pion our cause vigorously, no mattei when or by whom assailed, to the end that those who stood by the old flag may not have died in Tain."

The advice might be summed up in a couple of words—be gentlemen. If It be followed It will give the world a higher opinion 6! the American soldier and, consequent­ly, of the American nation. It will let the unfortunate Chinese see that we are interfering as their friends, not to bully and rob, outrage and murder, but to maintain peace in the sec­tion of the country we occupy and pro* tect foreign property from destruc­tion*

The observer may not have known this remarkable man nor any­thing of his history, but he would in­stantly have noticed his fine, sinewy figure, and his features, clean-cut and regular like those of an Italian bronze.

It is well to remember thatWery country maintains a kingdom lying within the boundaries of this repub­l ic I do not mean the fiction of sov­ereignty attaching to the legations at Washington, but a phantom state rather, keeping the customs, the tradi­tions, even the very laws, of the moth­er country.

It was only in this kingdom of Italy that Stgnore Mazaccra was * a mar­quis. Uptown in New York, he was merely a star of heavy opera, one ftlcardo Roblni, with a voice like that of many sirens, and yet the man, plying this" emasculated fc trade, was In fact a ruthless, calculating, steel-nerved sentinel, presenting himself, thus singing, in the world's most (public places, and reporting each night to that phantom kingdom of Italy, set down like >& well-fitting shadow over the streets and buildings of New York.

The Marquis Mazaccra lived openly, lodged In a suite at the Dresden. And yet for weeks the district*attorney of New York had known that this man ought to be in tbe electric chair; his assistants knew it, tbe police officers of the city knew It On a memorandum in * pigeonhole of the district attorney's desk he was written down as guilty of murder in the first degree—willful, •premeditated murder. The district at* torney neglected, nay, it should be written, refused, to apprehend him on a criminal warrant

Let us not too hastily denounce this district attorney of New York. He was an incorruptible public servant, able, persistent, fearless. Why, then, this im­munity to the Marquis Mazaccra, as of one heaven born, amenable to no law? Why was he not sent promptly to the electric chair, and after to dim­mer audiences? To know this it is necessary to know first a chapter of Italian history.

If, when one is dropping*his copper tribute into the dish of the collector at Sorrento, he will look to his left hand along the Bay of Naples, he will observe a villa built of ancient Sicil­ian marble clinging like a bit of flung-up sea foam to a little promontory of the shore, having for background a lemon grove, the thick branches sup­ported by a lath trellis, like that com­monly built for vines.

When the singing marquis came Into his inheritance there remained only this villa, the half-acre of lemon grove and .the steps to the sea, out of what was once the finest estate in Salerno. Even the treasures of the villa had, for the most part, gone else­where in exchange for lira, that the dissolute father of the marquis might maintain to the last day his midnight court of revels for the ballet of the Neapolitan opera, coming up the stone stairway, laughing, shouting, singing bits ot dissolute songs, as though escaped by some enchantment from the halls of Morgana the Far, under the sea.

One night, crowned with a wreath of wilted roses, brought by the first arrivals from their dancing floor, the old marquis, (running forward to wel­come Lauretta Matteo—-the white otevfl of Naples—stumbled, and was himself welcomed by tbe master of all devils.

""Tbe young marquis,, arriving swiftly from a military school at Milan, found himself to bave Inherited a corpse, and little else. Every Item of bis inheritance had gone down tbe stone stairway, except this patch of garden, this house, this dead body of the marquis and an ancient painting of the Virgin hanging in its heavy frame In the hall. This painting the old marquis had not dared to sett, hav­ing a care for the welfare of his body into the bargain. It was painted from some round-faced Tuscan model of middle age and was wholly without beauty except its coloring, which was wonderfully fresh and bright Never* tbeless, it was the most adored Virgin in t&e south of Europe, with a miracle to its credit beyond that of any Vir­gin ef the cathedrals—not a mere stratehiening of legs or a healing of affiicted infants, hut the saving of the whole village of Torre del Greco, it*

meadows, its crops, its villas, its churches,It* gardens, a* well, also, as Its cripples and he babies. > The manner of it was that on a certain good Tuesday, with scarce a rumble of warning, Vesuvius began to poor forth ashes, sulphurous fumes and lava. The alarmed but pious people of Torre del Greco began at once to carry in procession every holy yette to be found in any of, the churches, but without effect The sul­phurous cloud remained, the ashes continued to fall, the black, viscous

TOW It It was carried through the streets of Torre del Greco behind lighted candles. That night the erup­tion of Vesuvius ceased, and the mar­quis's Virgin was on the Instant fa­mous. She was called now the Virgin of the Mountain.

There is this virtue in a miracle, that one does not have to repeat it, like a clown's trick, to keep one's rep­utation shining. The Virgin of the Mountain continued the patron of Torre del Greco. Twice a year, in May and in October, the painting was borrowed of the marquis and carried in procession through Torre del Greco.

It was May and but seven days be­fore the festival of Torre del Greco, when the old voluptuary of Sorrento fared forth so swiftly with a guest he had not invited. The new marquis was scarcely warm in his bare house and the old one cold in his before the procession of boats, each with its com­fortable priest, came to the stone steps and bore away the Virgin of the Moun­tain to her semi-annual worshiping.

An American tourist chose that morning to ascend Vesuvius. Passing through Torre del Greco, he was met by the procession ot the Virgin, and his driver was ordered b$r the priests to pull up by the roadside, until the holy ceremony was ended. The tour­ist, standing up on his carriage seat, observed that the procession was not likely to pass within any reasonable time, and as the ceremony was in no wise holy to him, a fact which he stated clearly enough in his own lan­guage, he ordered his driver to go on. The driver declined, having, like the old marquis, an eye to the welfare of his soul, whereupon the tourist, not caring a whit for his soul, caught up the lines and drove Into the proces-

A crowd of women with their hair streaming down their backs were passing at that moment These prompt­ly seized the horses, cut the traces of the harness, pulled the llnch*pins out of the axles, and trundled the carriage into the gutter. They then, in a va­riety of ways, explained to the tourist the esteem in which they held him. He, likewise, gave his views no less picturesquely, finally declaring that he would buy the confounded Virgin as soon as he got down from Vesu­vius, and hang her up In a Carnegie library—a threat at that moment lost on the un-Englished peasants of Torre del Greco, but otherwise an expression fated, like an oracle. It was not lost, however, on the guide who sat beside him, but accurately remembered and accurately repeated in reply to innu-morable queries.

One does not know what hand he long-baffled mountain took in the busi­ness. At any rate, the following morning the American called on the new marquis and asked him to name a price for his picture. The young man declined. The American offered a thousand lira, then ten, finally twenty. The marquis still declined, and the American in disgust returned to Na­ples. The young marquis locked up his house and went to the inn at Sor­rento for his dinner. This hostelry Is maintained by the pleasantest thief in Italy. Over his wine the marquis had the Incident of the procession re­lated with endless comment; so many gesticulating witnesses came forward to be heard that the marquis was com­pelled to remain the night under the roof of this pleasantest thief. When he returned at sunrise and opened the door of the villa with its iron hey, he found the Virgin of the Mountain van­ished; the canvas had been cut out of the frame.

The man, overwhelmed with this tremendous disaster, sat down on a bench in M B hall, covered his face with his hands and abandoned himself to despair, forgetful of ttoe open door and the sun now shining through it. He was aroused by a voice offering bim the salutation of the morning and the benediction of God. Be looked up to see the padre of Sorrento standing in the door. The old man had come early, tramping down tbe mountain through the wet lemon groves, to warn ,tbe young marquis against that devil's threat of the American and to bring peace to his house.

The young marquis took one of his hands from over his face and pointed to the empty frame hanging on the wait The padre, following his finger, groaned like one struck with a mortal agony and backed slowly out of the doorvv Then, livid, quivering, his teeth rattling like castanets, he cursed the new Marquis Maiaccra with hide* cms, excoriating curses.

'/Thou who hast sold, like Judas, not. Christ, but. the Mother of Christ!"

The boy leaped up like one prodded with a hot spit

"No, no, padre!" he cried, "I have not sold i t It was stolen. See, it was cut from the frame. I have hot sold it!"

The old man pointed a long, shak­ing finger over the threshold.

"Thou art a liar," he said, l i k e thy master, who is the father of liars."

Then he gathered his skirts closely about his legs, shook the dust from his feet and went swiftly down the steps.

The boy instantly saw the hell-storm that would descend on him when the padre got back to hie people with the news.

He gathered quickly what he carry tied up in a cloth and fled to Naples. A steamer was just going ont of the harbor for America. He went abroad, took his place In the steerage with the emigrants and came to New Yorjc Here he repaired directly to those in authority over the phantom kingdom of Italy and laid the entire matter before them- In this new king­dom, as in the old one, he was the Marquis Maiaccra and a person of pe­culiar distinction* Moreover, here his story was believed.

The new kingdom of/Italy decided for the marquis and went into secret counsel on his case. The young man had a plan of his own. He knew the face of the American who had come to buy ibe Virgin of the Mountain, and he had, also, the finest voice in the military school at Milan. Why not then, get a place In grand opera, If It could be managed. There could be no better station for a sentinel posted to find a millionaire than that Sooner or later the man would come iu with such audiences if he were liv­ing.

The matter was easily managed through Fllippo Marches!, himself an Italian horn in Amalfl.

In the Marquis Mazaccra's throat was a voice descended from the stars. He gained swiftly everything to be had over a footlight. Within five years >he was richer than any other marquis born hi the villa at Sorrento.

More northern and colder blood would doubtless, after these years, have given up the Virgin of the Mountain, and gone about enjoyment of its much goods, like that certain rich man. But not so this blood, brewed in its sun-vat by the Mediter­ranean.

All this was related in minutest de­tail by the servant Pietro to Ran­dolph Mason. The occasion tor It was the finding of the Virgin of the Moun­tain. Not by the Marquis Maxaccra nor the host of Italian servants in New York, all commissioned by the authority on the East side to search, but by accident An Italian paper hanger, sent to help with the interior piicitly obey them." decoration of a house on East Forty-eighth street, had discovered the painting rolled up In a closet of a room on the second floor whose door he 'had opened to find a place for his paste pots. The house belonged to Tolman Perkins, a retired iron manu­facturer. This man, like all; those who, having got a fortune by middle life and having come to New York to enjoy it, had found inactivity un­bearable, and had gone wandering over the earth. He was about to re­turn from a three years' sauntering through the Japanese east, and the caretakers were getting the house In order for him.

The lame of Randolph Mason had been carried by Pietro into the king­dom of New Italy. The authority there wished to know how the pic ture might be recovered and adequate vengeance visited on Tolman Perkins. Pietro laid the matter before Ran dolph Mason one night after dinner.

Randolph Mason bade Pietro sit down in a chair before him, and he explained with great patience the avenues of redress. A suit could be instituted In the circuit court of the United States by this Mazaccra, a subject of King Victor Emanuel the Third of Italy, against Tolman Per­kins, to secure the painting and ade­quate damages. The picture could be taken, meanwhile into the custody of the court by a proper writ. This was the direct legal plan available in such a case, and to be advised. If this authority on the East side preferred not to go with Buch a matter into the courts, then he would give it a plan by which the matter could be adjust­ed without the running of any risk. But first, Pietro should go back to New Italy, state exactly what Ran dolph Mason had said, and -learn which of the two plans the authority there preferred to follow.

But, in the meantime, the Marquis Mazaccra had elected to follow his own plan. Taking the place of the Italian paper hanger who had found the picture of the Virgin of the Mountain, and disguised that workman, he went on the day follow­ing the discovery to the house on Forty-eighth street and brought the painting away with hhn inclosed In a roll of burlap.

Pietro reported to Randolph Mason that the stolen picture had been thus recovered and that the authority of New Italy now considered the matter ended.

The Marquis Maxaccra, however, did not consider it thus ended. The score with Tolman Perkins remained yet to be settled. The Latin mind was not accustomed to the Idea of punitive damages at law for an in­jury.

On a certain Sunday morning, a few days after the recovery of the picture of the Virgin of the Moun­tain, New York was astonished by a homicide belonging, In Its deliberate, cruel and theatric details, to some inquisitorial era. Mr. Tolman Per­kins, a, bachelor, was found by his valet at seven o'clock on this Sunday morning, In the library of his house on Forty-eighth street in a dying condition.

Mr. Perkins, insensible from loss of blood, was taken immediately to a hospital and a saline solution in­jected into his veins. He revived a little and attempted to talk, but was unable to do so. A pencil wag put into his fingers and he was asked to write the name of the person who had attacked him. Finally, after repeated efforts, he wrote the following words:

'Tt was that Italian, the Marquis Mazaccra, who did i t When I get well I will kill him."

He died at three o'clock. Put the curtain was not yet rung down on the tragedy.

son at about five o'clock when, through the window, I noticed Pietro enter the back gate of the house with an Italian fruit vender.

"Oh, Mr. Mason/1 he said, "a ter­rible thing has happened 1 The Mar­quis Masaocra Is lost I"

Then, hurriedly, gesticulating with his hands and .shoulders, he poured forth the whole story: How a wax impression of the lock on the Forty-eighth street house had been taken for the Marquis Masaocra after the picture of the Virgin had been brought away, and a key made; how with this key the marquis had admit­ted himself to the presence of Tol­man Perkins in hie library, seised him from behind as he sat reading by his table, and visited upon him this ghast­ly ordeal of retributive justice; how Tolman Perkins, contrary to every hu­man possibility, by reason of a blood-clot forming m the wound, had lived long enough to tell, who had killed htm. The Italian janitor at the hos­pital had made a copy of his dying statement; the Marquis Mazaccra was Instantly notified, and by the direction of that authority on the East side, of whom I have spoken, had cdme in­stantly, disguised thus, to Randolph Mason. He was there by the door.

"Let me see this statement," said Mason.

Pietro handed him a piece of wrap­ping paper containing these lines in pencil:

"It was that Italian, the Marquis Mazaccra, who did i t When I get well I will kill him."

"You will at once," said Mason to the marquis, "abandon this absurd dis­guise, and immediately return to your usual life at the Dresden, conducting yourself there as though nothing un­usual had happened. Refuse to be in­terviewed. If you are fortunate enough ' to be arrested, decline to make any statement whatever and send immediately for me*"

"Sir," he said, "I never In my life have been accustomed to take direc­tions from any man; but since I-have •come to you for directions, I shall im-

Then he picked up his basket from the floor and went out of the room, followed by Pietro.

From the great newspapers of America nothing can be hidden; nei­ther a flight on the wings of the morn­ing nor a dwelling in the uttermost parts of the sea provides adequate cover. On Monday morning the whole story of Tolman Perkins' killing was laid in detail before the world under headlines inquiring who the Marquis Mazaccra was.

Friday, Saturday, a week passed, and the Marquis Mazaccra was not yet taken into custody.

The people, waxing vitriolic, began now to speculate; conjecture to wag its double-pointed tongue.

In the mean time the district attor­ney remained as silent as the unmo­lested, singing marquis. However, ten days after the death of Tolman Per­kins, the district attorney did act. He caused the valet to be arrested.

When I told Randolph Mason of this his eyes narrowed and his under jaw moved resolutely forward.

"Parks," he said, "I am coming to have an interest in this district attor­ney. Let us visit him."

Then he summoned the marquis from the Dresden, and three of us went In a carriage to the Criminal Court building. We were brought almost im­mediately into the presence of the district attorney.

"Sir," said Randolph Mason, "per­mit me to present to you the Marquis Mazaccra."

For a moment there was an expres­sion of the keenest inquiry in the steady eyes of the lawyer, then he arose and bowed courteously.

"May I inquire," he said, "why I am thus strikingly honored1?"

I saw instantly that no fears cud­geled this unusual man.

"You have caused an innpcent man to be arrested for the killing of Tol­man Perkins," said Mason; "we came to say that"

"How do you knovv ' he is inno­cent?" said the lawyer.

"I know it," replied Mason, "in pre­cisely the same manner that you, yourself, know it, and with the same conviction."

"I would prefer," said the district attorney, "to hear the Marquis Mazac­cra upon that point."

"With pleasure," replied the Italian. "The valet did not kill Tolman Per­kins."

"Who did kill him?" said the law­yer Instantly.

"Pardon me," replied the marquis; is not that query a trifle beside the

point?" "Suppose," said tho district attor­

ney, slowly, "I should cause you to be detained as a witness in this matter!"

"Sir," said Mason, "it would be an act of the purest idiocy. He would decline to answer, on the ground that such an answer would tend to incrimi­nate him, and so be immediately dis­charged. You, must, my dear sir, be content with the word of the marquis as a gentleman."

"Why not rather," said the district attorney, speaking even more slowly, "arrest the Marquis Mazaccra for this murder?"

"Indeed why not?" replied Mason. "Yon are quite, convinced that he is guilty of i t "

^Do you admit i t then?" said tho lawyer.

"Pardon me," said Mason, '1 am his counsel and shall always formally deny ft"

"Gentlemen," said the district at­torney, "this interview is preposter­ous."

"At any rate," replied Mason, "it is ended. Good morning."

Then heturned abruptly and walked out of the room* The marquis, bowed to the district attorney and followed

I happened to be wlt i Randolph Ma-j Mason* while I came at their heels,

On the following morning the storm' of public condemnation doubled1

around the head of the district attor ney of New York. The story of the mysterious visit of the Marquis Ma­zaccra and his counsel to the Criminal Court building'was elaborately pub­lished.

The members of the party opposed in politics to the district attorney de­nounced him with savage comment If he was afraid to prosecute the Italian Robin!, It would find at* attorney who was not afraid. It then named a cer­tain lawyer in politics, one Theodore Pagan, a person of large municipal in­fluence and considerable prominence, a man of no profound legal learning and of little legitimate practice, never* theless a person of ambitious and un­failing assurance. This party demand­ed that Fagan should be sworn in as an assistant district attorney and the prosecution of the Marquis Mazaccra put entirely into his hands.

Contrary to every expectation, the district attorney of New York instant­ly assented to this proposition, with­out a word of explanation or com­ment Fagan, fortified by his tremen­dous assurance, began at once to car­ry his mob directions into effect. Im­mediately after he was clothed with the authority of an assistant district attorney, he caused the Italian mar­quis to be arrested.

Within a week of the date of the ar­rest, the Marquis Mazaccra, alias Rl-cardo Robini, was indicted for tbe murder of Tolman Perkins. His case was advanced on the docket a jury was impaneled, and the man placed on trial for his life. The valet, re­leased and sitting in the court room, was the chief witness for the people. Randolph Mason appeared as counsel for the prisoner, but his conduct of the defense was so acquiescent that Fagan's friends facetiously named him the co-counsel for the people.

Finally, having at great length es­tablished the death of Tolman Per­kins and its circumstances, Mr. Fagan arose. He stepped dramatically before his table, threw back his shoulders, and caught up the third button of his coat.

"If your honor please," he said, "I have reason to believe that the pris­oner Is relying for his defense upon our inability to Identify him as the Marquis Mazaccra. I have therefore called a number of Italian witnesses. Will your honor direct the Interpreter to be sworn?"

Then he whirled about triumphantly Into his chair like one who has glori­ously spiked the only cannon of his enemy.

The reporters at the table paused a moment with their pencils suspended above their notebooks. This, then, was the solution of Mason's indiffer­ence. If the prisoner could not be identified as the Marquis Mazaccra, he could not of course, be convicted. Tbis was a vital point—the savage battle for the prisoner's life would be­gin now. They waited, fingers tight­ening on pencils, for the report of the opening gun. Every glance in the court room winged to Randolph Ma­son. It was an Instant of peculiar dra matio stress. Then it puffed out.

"Your honor," said Mason, "we ad­mit the Identity of the Marquis Ma zaccra."

The joy of Mr. Fagan could ont be concealed; It sat glowing on his f<v-e as he got once more to his feet. The only gap In his evidence had been bridged for him. The road to the con victlon of his prisoner lay now unbro­ken before him In the sun.

"If your honor please," he said, "I have proved the incidents of the mur­der, the death of the victim, and the circumstances attendant on the dying declaration of the deceased. I wish now to introduce that declaration, to connect the prisoner with this killing. The identity of this prisoner with the Marqjula-Mazaccra having been now admitted, I take It that the people have made their case."

Then, posing on one foot and rais ing his voice until it carried to the bailiffs at the door, he read the origi­nal statement of Tolman Perkins:

"'It was that Italian, the Marquis Mazaccra, who did i t When I get well, I will kill him.0"

If any one had been at that moment observing closely the face of the pre­siding judge, he would have noticed a curious transition there, as of lights swiftly changed behind the immobile features. The judge was an able and conservative trier of causes, and made it a point never to read any notices of a crime, nor to be advised in any manner of public opinion, nor of any comment antedating the trial of the prisoner. He thus got his knowledge of the case solely from the evidence produced before him on the trial.

"May I inquire, Mr. Fagan," he said, "if you have any evidence further than this declaration to offer for the people?"

"No, your honor;" replied the law­yer. '"Rua^resms quite enough to es­tablish the guilt of the prisoner. The people rest with i t "

The judge looked down at Randolph Mason.

"Has counsel for the prisoner any­thing to say on the admissibility of this evidence?"

"No," replied Mason, rising; "I ob> ject merely to its introduction, and move the courj to direct a verdict of not guilty/ tTe have no evidence to offer." /

Mr, Theodore Fagan arose then, but­toned his frock coat thrust his right hand into its breast, and delivered an oration on a homicide. When Mr. Fa* gan returned finally, steaming, to his chair, the judge arose and addressed the jury.

"Gentlemen," he sal^'there Is no more difficult dtUj^tttan that of pass­ing upon the guilt or innocence of one charged with a crime* therefore the law, out of an Interminable expert* enoe, has laid down certain definite

rules by whleh courts are to be pr*i erned in the exejrcise of that dntyJ These rules are said to be the veorj refinement of reason* They at least' insure a certain order and a certain uniformity of result not otherwise *> talnable. They are rigid, accurately determined and binding alike on aft courts of justice. It is certain thai now and then the observance of these* permits a frullty man to escape own? ishment But, In the mean time, ther are the safeguards ot persons unjust­ly aocused and preserve the innocent from passion, prejudice or a pubUw preconception of guilt

"In the case before yon, evidence* has established the violent death ef a citizen, and the circumstances at­tendant on it; in fact the perpetrar tion of the highest crime under that of treason. If, in addition thereto* proper evidence should be presented tending to connect the prisoner with that killing, you would have the right under the law, to say whether he is guilty or not guilty of the crime. Tho assistant district attorney offered the statement of the deceased, naming the Marquis Mazaccra. Tbe identity of thai person with the accused ls» admitted. This is the only testimony offered on that point. If it Is admis­sible and proper, the guilt or inno­cence of the accused will remain with you tb be determined. If not, it be* comes my duty to take the case ont of your hands and direct an acquittal.

"As a general rule of law, one speaking against an accused must first be sworn, and an opportunity given for his cross-examination, before) his statement can be heard as evi­dence; but there is an exception made* in that certain class of evidence com­monly named dying declarations, that is, statements germane to the Issue made by one about to die. Here the law assumes that a man In the imme­diate presence of death will not prob­ably lie, and his statement is admls-sible as evidence, with the usual pre* sumption of truth in its favor. But It must affirmatively and conclusively appear that the deceased, at the time of making such a declaration, believes] himself about to/die, had, in fact abandoned all hope of life. If he en­tertained any hope of recovery, or any doubt of death, his statement is not admissible as evidence. It is not ma­terial that he did In fact die, even with the words of the declaration on his Hps, if he did not believe death Impending.

"This Is the rule. Let us now apply it to the declaration of Tolman Per*' kins: *It was that Italian, the Marquis Mabaccra, who did It When I get well I will kill him.' Did the decedent believe that he was about to die when he made this statement? Had he aban­doned hope of life? Clearly not His statement itself will establish the con­trary beyond a doubt 'When I get well I will kill him.' Here is more than a hope of life. Here Is a threat of retribution, based on a conviction of recovery. This statement of the decedent is, therefore, not an admis­sible dying declaration. It cannot be introduced as evidence. It is a worth­less recital, before the law,

"Now, gentlemen of the jury, there) Is no evidence whatever, other than this inadmissible statement, tending* to connect the accused with this homi­cide. I shall, therefore, sustain the motion made by counsel for the ao­cused. You are directed to find a ver­dict of 'not guilty/ And the Marquis Mazaccra, alias Ricardo Roblni, la dis­charged."

The following morning the district attorney of New York had his triumph. His statement to the electorate of the city marked the greatness of the man: it was dignified, concise and without exultation. Being aware that thsj statement of Tolman Perkins was no| admissible as evidence, and that tho Italian would be acquitted if seized and tried, his plan was to set the po­lice machinery at work on the case i s the hope of finding some evidence connecting the accused with the crime. Finally, when the great wave of pubUe opinion descended on him, he deters mir sd to yield to Us wishes and there* by give the people an object lesson, am example of tbe danger of public clam­or when directed against the admlnr Istration of the law. He looked ape* the result as a thing not to be de­plored, rather as a public good, tend­ing to strengthen the confidence ot the people In the integrity of its pub­lic servants.

It was now clear to me why Ran­dolph Mason had tried to goad the dis­trict attorney into a trial. There was danger in delay, something might be discovered; but a trial upon the evt» dence In the possession of the people must result in acquittal, and, if tho man was once acquitted, he could not again be tried, no matter what after' evidence was discovered.

The Marquis Mazaccra saw it all* too; but he made no fulsome offer ot thanks to Randolph Mason in tho court room. He maintained there Ms bearing of an aristocrat the air of a man lightly Indifferent to sun or shad­ow. Later, on his way to an Italian, steamer, he came In for a moment

"Mr. Mason," he said, 1 wish to thank you for my life."

"Sir," said Mason, '1 had no interest In your life. The adjustment of yew problem was the only thing of interest to me."

1 have not been lately in Italy, out I am told that if one will double the copper coins dropped into the dish of the collector at Sorrento, he will be rowed along the bay to the villa of tho Marquis Mazaccra, and, if he in­crease this v age to a lira, he will be shown the Virgin of the Mountain*

son at the local council school, and the teacher was explaining to the young hopefuls that if a "treble," and "a!to#" a "tenor" and a "bass" sung together, their united efforts would constitute a quartet.

There seemed no trouble about that, and the teacher thought the class was getting on very nicely.

"Mow, Jimmy, leave off pinching your brother's leg and listen to me," said she. 'If a bass and a tenor sang together, what would you call that?"

J immy was the son of the local a&IIlcaian, and a bright lad withal. His answer was not long in coming.

"Please, miss," said he, "that would be a 'plntette.'"

CHAPTER X X I V ( C o n t i n u e d ) .

"Do you by any chance belong to the Maryland Newbolds, sir?"

"Yes, they are distantly related to a most excellent family- of the same name in Philadelphia, 1 believe."

"I have always understood that to be the truth."

"Ah, a very satisfactory connection indeed," said Stephen Maitland with no little satisfaction. "Proceed, sir."

"There is nothing much else to say about myself, except that I love your daughter and with your permission 1 want her for my wife."

Mr. Maitlatod bad thought long and seriously over the state of affairs. He had proposed in his desperation to give her hand to Armstrong if he found her. It had been impossible to keep secret the story of her adven­ture, her rescue and the,death of Arm­strong. It was natural and inevitable that gossip should have busied itself with her name. It would therefore have been somewhat difficult for Mr. Maitland to have withheld his consent to her marriage to almost any repu­table man who had been thrown so in­timately with her, but when the man was so unexceptionably born and bred as Newbold, .what had appeared as a more or less disagreeable duty, almost an imperative imposition, became a, pleasure: " M r . Maitland was no bad Judge of men when his prejudices were not rampant, and he looked with much sat­isfaction on the, fine, clean limbed, clear eyed, vigorous man who was at present suing for his daughter's hand. Newbold had shaved off his beard and had cropped close his mustache; he was dressed in the 'habits of civiliza­tion and he was almost metam­orphosed. His shyness wore* away as he talked and his inherited ease of manner and his birthright of good breeding came back to him and sat easily upon him.

Under the circumstances the very best thing that could happen would be a marriage between tbe two, in­deed to be quite honest, Mr.. Stephen Maitland would have felt that perhaps under any circumstances his daughter could do no better than commit her* ie)f to a man like this. -.;.:'-¾ shall never attempt," be said at last, "to constrain my daughter. I think I have learned something by my touch with this life here; perhaps we of Philadelphia need a little broaden­ing in airs more free. 1 am sure that she would never give bet hand with­out her heart, and therefore, she must decide this matter herself. From her own lips you shall have your answer."

"But you, sir; I confess that 1 should feel, easier and happier if i bad your sanction*and approval." - .

"Steve;' said Mr. Robert Maitland, *$ the other hesitated, "hot because he Intended to refute, but because he was loath to say tbe word that *o far iit was concerned would give bis

daughter into another man's keeping, "I think you can trust Newbold; there are men who knew him years ago; there is abundant evidence and testi­mony as to his qualities, I vouch for him,"

"Robert," answered his brother, "I need no such testimony; the way in which he saved Enid, the way he com­ported himself during that period of isolation with her, his present bearing —in short, sir, if a father is ever glad to give away his daughter, I might say I should be glad to entrust her to you. I believe you to be a man of honor and a gentleman; your family is almost as old as my owli; as for the disparity In our fortunes, I can easily remedy that."

Newbold smiled at Enid's father, but it was a pleasant smile; albeit with a trace of mockery and a trace of tri­umph in it.

"Mr. Maitland, I am more grateful to you than I can say for your ecro-sent and approval which I shall do my best to merit. I think I may claim to have won your daughter's heart; to have added to that your sanction com­pletes my happiness. As for the dis­parity in our fortunes, while your gen­erosity touches me profoundly, I hard­ly think that you need be under any un­easiness as to our material welfare*"

"What do you mean?" "I am a mining engineer, sir; I didn't

live Ave years alone in the mountains of Colorado for nothing."

"Pray, explain yourself, sir." "Bid you find gold in the hills?"

asked Robert Maitland, quicker to u&r der stand.

"The richest veins on the continent,'" answered Newbold.

"And nobody knows anything about, it?"

"Not a soul." * "Have you located the claims?"

•'Certainly, certainly. Robert* will you oblige me—"

in compliance with his brother's* gesture, Robert Maitland touched the bell and bade the answering servant ask Miss Maitland to come \o the, l i ­brary.

"Now," said Mr. Stephen Maitland as the servant closed the door, "you and I would leave the young people alone. Un, Robert?"

"By all means/' answered the young­er, and opening the door again the two older men went out leaving New-bold alone.

"But I don't quite understand," quer­ied Mr. Stephan Maitland.

He heard a soft step on the stair in the hall without; the gentle awish of a dress as somebody descended from the floor above. A vision ap­peared In the doorway. Without a movement in opposition, without a word of remonstrance, without a throb of hesitation on her part, he took her in his arms. From the drawing-room opposite, Mr. Robert Maitland softly tiptoed across the hall and closed the library door, neither of the lovers be­ing aware of his action.

Often and often they had longed for each other on the opposite slide of a door, and sow at last the woman was in the man's arms and no door rose between them, no barrier kept them apart any longer. There was no obli gation of loyalty or honor, real or im­agined, to separate them now. They had drunk deep of the chalice of cour age, they had drained the cup to the very bottom, they had shown each other that though love was the great­est of passions,, honor and loyalty were the most powerful of forces, and now they reaped tlto reward of their abne­gation and devotion.

At last the woman gave herself up to him in complete and entire aban­donment without fear and without re* prdach; and at last the man took what was his own without the shadow of a reservation. She shrank from no pressure of his arms, she turned her face away from no- touch of his Hps. They two had praved their right to surrender by their ability to conquer.

Speech was hardily necessary be­tween them, and it was not for a long time that coherent words came. Little 1

murmurs of endearment, little pas­sionate whispers of a beloved name— these were enough then.

When he could find strength to deny himself a little ajnd to hold her at arm's length and l'ooft at her, he found her paler, thinner and more delicate than when he had seen her in the-mountains. She had' on some witching creation of pale bhie and silver; he didn't know wfcait U was; he didtr't

"And is there anything? elsef asked she who would fain be loveg for other quaiitre*. f

"Everything," he answered, rap­turously drawing her once more to his heart,

"I knew that there would fee some way," answered the satisfied woman softly after a little space; '"love like ours is not born to fall short of the completest happiness. Ob, how fortu­nate for me was that idle impulse that turned me- up the canon instead of down* for if it had not been for that there would have been no meeting—"

Rne stopped suddenly, her face afmm* at the thought of the conditions of that meeting; she must needs hlge her face on his shoulder.

He laughed gayly. "My little spirit of the fountain, my

There was a knock on this door. Without waiting for permission it was opened;: this time three men entered;, for old) Kirkby had joined the group. The blushing Enid made an impulsive movement to tear herself away from Newbold's arms, but he shamefully held; her close. The three men. looked at the two lovers solemnly for a mo­ment aurd then broke into laughter, rt was Kirkby who spoke first.

"I hear as how you found goid in* thena mountains, Mr. Newboid."

(THE END.>

Wife, Who Nags. The worst thing that the bad fatty

could wish upon a man is a nagging, fault-finding wife. The most savory of the dishes prepared' by her hand tastes flat and stale if served up with the sauce of her complaints, and the cosiest of homes is a place of unrest if it is the storehouse of her recrim­inations. Even If there is Just cause for jealousy, nagging is an aggrava­tion rather than a cure.

It breeds the spirit of antagonism and the case of the injured party is hurt rather than helped.

The only safe cure for straying af­fections is to make oneself so attrac­tive, so agreeable, that the desired love and attention is irresistibly held to its original moorings. > Sometimes sudden evidence of indifference awlkes the errant one to tbe fact that the straying, may be mutual. Some­times renewed outbursts of affection, \ of care and interest, Is the tonic~of weakened ardor. Sometimes splendid results are accomplished by wearing smart and becoming clothes and brushing up the wits and vivacity.

Extremely Important That Grower Should Know Just Which Plants Are Most Likely to Be Attacked by Little Insert—Some

Serious Mistakes Made.

Mix. (By B\ S H E R M A N , JR.)

Trees that are badly infested with the San Jose Scale appear as if they had been dusted over with ashes. If the branches and twigs where the iu-sects are numerous be scraped with a knife it wil l be seen that this un­natural covering is quite easily re­moved, coming off in little flaky patches. Each of the little circular gray objects is a separate scale, each covering a tiny yellow insect under­neath." On thickly infested branches they often become so crowded that the scales are plied over one another so that the real bark of the tree is not visible at all. Branches and twigs which are only slightly or moderately infested will not be thus completely covered over, and the bark may be of its ordinary color and appearance except here and there along the hraaches where the scattering scales are found. The largest full-grown scales are about the size of an aver­age pinhead. They can, therefore, be detected by any person who has in the beginning an intelligent idea of the Insect, has sharp eyes, and who happens to look in the right place.

Usually the farmer or fruitgrower does not know that there is aay ser­ious trouble until the trees begin to die. By that time they are covered by the scales and present the ashy appearance. Then, if the owner finds that his trouble is San Jose scale, he is apt to think that it is only on those trees that present the unnatural ap­pearance, when in reality it may al­ready be on every tree in the orchard. Such a mistake often costs the lives of many trees, since the owner, in­stead of examining closely and treat­ing every infested tree, as he should

T H E SAN JOSE S C A L E . Infested twig to right; immature

scales in center; full grown female scale above; infested pear fruit to left showing reddish blotches.

do, simply takes out those which are already in dying condition, and then, because he sees no more of similar appearance, he imagines he has ex-terminajled it, when as a matter of fact other trees moderately or slight­ly infested still stand in the orchard and soon begin to die, having in the meantime spread the insect into still other trees, and so on, until the whole orchard'may be ruined.

Where the scales are not numerous enough to crowd one another each in­dividual grows to somewhat larger size than when they are crowded/' Where the scalesare scattering along the branches each scale is often (but not always) in the center of a slightly reddened spot on the bark. If the natural color of the bark he reddish this will not show plainly, but i f the bark be of a light green or yellow, the reddish spots are quite conspic­uous. In looking for scale on slightly infested trees it may usually he more readily found by looking for these reddish spots than by looking for the scale itself, but close watch must be kept for both scales and blotches. If

such a spot be found, however, it must then be examined to see if tt is caused by a true rcale-lnsect* for. there are certain unimportant diseases' which may have a similar effect. If the little gray, circular scale is found in the center of the spot, and if the scale is readily removed by seta ping gently with a knife blade -or the finger nail, then you may be pretty sure it is San Jose scale, and should at once send specimens to your state entomologist and find out.

Turn one of the scales over gently with the point of a knife. If it is one of the large full-grown scales the insect may as likely be dead as alive under it, for the scale adheres long after the insect is dead. If the insect is alive it will be seen as a little, yel­low object, slightly egg shaped, but more pointed at one end, and slightly flattened. Indeed, it has been well described as resembling a tiny bit of cheese or yellow butter. Press the body with the point of the knife or pin and it is easily crushed, yielding a tiny bit of yellowish, oily liquid, if, on the other hand, the insect is dead, the dried body will likely be found simply as a thin yellowish-brown par­ticle under the scale.

The San Jose scale is not capable of living and thriving on all kinds of plants, and it is extremely important that the grower should know which ones are most liable to attack. It is primarily a pest of orchard trees and it is an exception, rather than the rule, to find it on any other. Of the orchard fruits, peaches, plums, apples, pears, and cherries seem to be worst attacked and die most readily in the order nomed. Certain varieties, es­pecially of pears, Beem to show con­siderable resistance, the Keiffer, Le-conte, and Garber seeming to be less attacked than others, though by no means exempt. Sour cherries are also resistant.

Forest and shade trees are very seldom infested with the San Jose in harboring or spreading infection. Growers sometimes make serious and ridiculous mistakes on this point and give up hope because they imagine that the "scale is in the woods," or they try to destroy tho forests which they suspect, or spend hours in a fruitless search for it on the forest or shade trees, and* then, when they find -a scale (which is some other species in nine cases out of ten) they think that they have surely found it.-

Let us repeat, then, with greater emphasis, that: the San Jose scale is primarily a pest of orchard fruit trees; It may also occur, hut less fre­quently, on rose, grape, currant, goose­berry, mockorange, and Japan walnut, but forest and shade trees are not appreciable factors in harboring or spreading it.

Irish Use Dairy Waste. Irish experts have invented a pro­

cess by which dairy waste in com­bination with coarsely ground phos­phate of lime and yeast makes a fer­tilizer which will return to the soil all of the phosphate removed by milk. Scientists claim this fertilizer is worth about $26 per ton while it costs only about half the amount to make it,

Small Cows. Small cows may be good milkers at

first, but they generally lack staying power. Large, coarse cows, are, on the other hand, likely to 'be costly feeders. A vigorous animal of fully average size and of the milk type la best.

COLUMBIAN BREED RESULT OF ACCIDENT

Just because a White Wyandotte hen found a hole iu a fence and crawled through, a new breed of poul­try came Into existence, according to the Suburban LJfo. There was a flock of Barred Plymouth Rocks on the other side of the fence, and, when the eggs of the White Wyandotte were in­cubated the birds were of a kind never aeia before. With the size am} ibape et a Wyandotte, tbey were mark**

like light Brahmae. Rev. B. M„ Briggs, who originated

the White Wyandottes, was so well pleased with this accidental cross that he mated and culled until he had fixed tbe type* Thus it. is that new breeds are sometimes made. All thisv hap­pened some time before the Colum­bian-exposition, in honor of which event tho nm breed was given the namiM>f < lumbiAu Wyandottea.

WOLVERINE NEWS BREVITIES

Jonesville.—The house and all the outbuildings on the farm of Ar­thur Merchant of Scipio township were destroyed by fire. The insur­ance of $7,000 will not cover the loss.

Hillsdale.—Although no defense was made and evidence was of­fered by tho prosecution showing that the child was strung up by her thumbs for 30 minutes so that her toes bare­ly touched the floor; lhat she was whipped for 15 minutes to make her own up to a lie; that she was tied to the bed with her hands above her head; that she was whipped until the welts bled—yet the jury in the circuit court acquitted David Miller of unlaw­fully punishing his five-year-old step­daughter, Beatrice Bowen.

Muskegon.—Edward Fromme, thir­ty-five years old, who when un­der the influence of liquor is said to have a mania for breaking into other people's houses and sleeping there, was shot and killed by Sheriff Fred Nelson, when, according to the officer, he attempted to break into the county jail . He was entering the kitchen window of the jail building when the sheK^f fired.

Houghton.—A forest fire of seri­ous pro portions is raging between, the villages of South-Jlange and Tri-

-mountain, 20 miles from here. The villages are mining towns, unequipped for fighting serious fires, and much anxiety is felt. The Northern Forest Protective association is taking steps to confine the fires.

Morrice.--A $1,50(( fire occurred in Bancroft, burning to the ground a cider mill owned by Charles Hunt. There was no insurance. The fire originated about the boiler it is thought and gained headway. This place noticed the fire and telephoned to parties east of town thinking it was a farm residence.

Kalamazoo.—C. if, Snyder of Lawton was thrown from his wag­on here and dangerously injured. Snyder struck on his head on a brick pavement when his team started to run away. He lies unconscious in Borgess hospital with a fractured skull.

Grand Rapids.—Samuel Ford, who shot and killed hia wife because she would not get out of bed and prepare him a late, supper, was ordered held for murder by a coro­ner's jury. Ford is a former Ueed City resident.

Jackson.—^\fter tiring two shots at his wife," E. C. Mitchell, a well-known resident of this city, went into his bedroom, lay down on the b^d and fired a bullet into his brain, dying instantly. The shooting oc­curred at the Mitchell home, 326 Third street. Mitchell had acted peculiarly for some time past, according to his wife. Since last May he had been troubled with loepmotor ataxia and grown despondent.

Jackson.—Investigation was start­ed into the circumstances sur-roimding the death of John Moson, six years old, son of Albert Moson. who resides on Page avenue. The lad had been playing about the yard. After supper he went to bed and his parents went downtown. After re­turning they went to the boy's bed­room and the parents found the cild dead.

Vassar.—Marriam Harold Warner, the fourteen-year-old boy who dis­appeared from Vassar a few days ago, was located at Vicksburg, where he applied for work, and was returned to Vassar in charge of Dep­uty Sheriff Hutchinson. The boy ap­parently has seen enough tramping.

Kalamazoo.—While playing with a dynamite cap, Paul Williams, an tight-y ear-old boy, fn some way exploded it. Two fingers on each, baud were blown off and one eye was destroyed. The boy was hurried to BorgesB hospital, where it was said that he is in a dangerous condition.

Battle Creek.—Because of the heavy ticket for election this fall, the city voting machines are to he discarded and the old-fashioned Aus­tralian ballot system will be used in November. /

Cheboygan.—Capt. Daniel Corlette and crew of the ill-fated fish boat Carrie E„ reached Cheboygan from the Soo, where they were carried by the steamer Wilkinson. When the boat foundered the three men took to a email boat. They battled with ter­rific waves for 13 hours before being discovered by the Wilkinson, which rescued them in a half-drowned condi­tion. Tugs have been sent to look for the boat, but no trace has yet been discovered.

Grand Rapids.—Kicked in the nose and out of a window by the man whose room he was robbing, Rcindert Kuipers was quickly con*, victed of burglary here. The swollen proboscis caused his conviction. The jury was out 13 minutes. Kuipers was surprised while robbing a local residence, the owner kicking him out of a second-story window. Identifies* tion and arrest occurred three days later, when detectives spotted* the en­larged olfactory organ while Kuipers was listening to the world's series baseball reports, r

The Goodleys have a sailor son, who OK one occasion brought home a parrot for the amusement and enlightenment of the family. They'kept it for the sake of the donor—on no other ac­count would it have been given house room. Of course, it was a perfectly respectable bird—occasionally; but on Sunday evenings, when young Mr. Saintly paid his regular visit, it was deemed advisable to cover Polly with a cloth.

Recently, however, Mr. S. took ad­vantage of a half-holiday accruing to him, and made an extra call on the Wednesday. As he was ushered in Miss Mary Qoodley dexterously threw the cloth over Polly's cage. Greet­ings over, there ensued the usual awk­ward pause, which was- broken by a squawk from the covered cage.

"Well, r i l be everlastingly blessed/' fcaid Polly. 'This has been a thunder­ing short week!"

Out of Fashion. "I see where fluffy skirts saved a

HANDS ITCHED AND BURNED Abbotsford, Wis .—'My son had ec­

zema on his hands for about one year. The eczema started with a rash. His hands were sore so he could not close them, and when he wet his hands they hurt him sp^be could hardly wash. His hands itched and burned just terrible and if bo would scratch them, they would break out into sores. He could not get any rest or sleep, and his hands looked quite bad.

"We had medicine and salve and it kept getting worse aU the time. I got some Cuticura Soap and Ointmont, and after washing his hands with the Cuticura Soap and putting some of the Cuticura Ointment on two times a day and tying cloths on them for about six months they got well and have not broken out since. Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured bim entirely." (Sign­ed) Mrs. Lawrence Kiehl , Feb. 13, 1912.
