TATTLING TEA LEAVB8.

Since that MClent t ^ . * h j » n erring Antony wandered after ^Ug^t; love the elusive tnd suspicious blo*d4 Jaai men­aced the quiet home of <w<W|j|'sj||jP man. It muat be assumed, affWTVi that An­tony knew nothtBk ot ttojgi***, else the Roman senate was sadly deficient All those since who have indulged in the cup that cheers have been wiser in their generation than that New York benedict recently accused of non* support by a wife expert in the read­ing'of tea-dreg mysteries. The evi­dence was so patent that the guilty wretch sought no other defease than a quarrel. With sheer masculine strategy, which is alleged to have in­cluded cleaning out the house, he barred the door against his subtle feminine half, says the Washington Post. Whereupon came the airing of these things before that most unsensi-tive of persons—the local magistrate —a low-brow who would not accept the testimony of a cup "turned three times slowly with a wish." The brute sided with the man, of course. The result achieved by such a dispensation of justice is not one to be desired. The domestic war has subsided to a feigned peace—a sort of armed neu­trality. Such well-founded suspicion will never die. The only thing proved by it is that men will hang together, unless it be that there are those who should bar Oolong from the home. Moral: Use a strainer.

The unwarrantable criticism of the duke of Norfolk which arose fn shine quarters when it was announced that he had sold his famous Holbein—a portrait of Queen Christina of Den­mark—and that the painting would go out of England, is now silenced. The criticism was unwarranted because the picture belonged to the duke and he had given the National gallery an option on it which was not used, says the Troy Times. It appears that the purchaser of the Holbein is not an American, but a German, and that the price paid is |300,000. Very well, the duke received a round figure, which would have tempted many another man to part with a scrap of canvas. The action of the duke which shuts the mouths of his critics is his gift of a park to the city of Sheffield. The property covers 60 acres and is the only park In the city. It is worth more than the duke received for the picture.

The fortune of $5,000,000 which was acquired by Christopher Ma#ee, politi­cian and newspaper publisher of Pitts­burg, who passed away several years ago, has been released by his wife's death and will now go to the ultimate purpose for which it was devised by its accumulator—the foundation and maintenance of a hospital for women. The institution is to bear the «ame of the testator's mother, Elizabeth Steel Magee. One of its features will be a department for women in distress, who are to receive free treatment at all times and be asked no questions. "Chris" Magee did not escape sharp criticism while alive, but even the most inveterate of those who were his political enemies must admit the ex­cellence of the great purpose to which he saw fit to apply his money.

The April Are loss in the United States *and Canada amounted to 119,-345,300, making an aggregate of $72,-006,700 for the first quarter of 1909. Compared with the two years last past this shows a better state of things,, which, it is hoped, may con­tinue. The fire loss for the first four months Abt 1908 was $90,804,000, and for the corresponding period of 1907, 186,426,200.

THE»11

An old inmate of an almshouse in New York, aged 86, who had never in the course of her life seen an automo­bile before, fell in a dead faint in the street when one whizzed by her, with the horn tooting. When she recovered she told the doctor who had attended her that she had been in hell and had seen Satan. Some of the victims of the speed maniacs would not quarrel with her diagnosis of the situation.

The truth is the young man who said the education he got. at Yale was a "detriment" to him didn't get any there. The "detriment" came from fooling away his time at Yale instead of doing Yale work.

THE MILAN TRAdtOY VltWftO BY THE WIDOW WITH

GLADNESS.

MAY ESCAPE PUNISHMENT

State Treasury is Short of Funds Again and Institutions Will bs Very Hard Up.

Through an interpreter, Wednesday, Mrs. Pallet, wife of the man slain la Milan Tuesday night by John Mas­caras, the BUgar beet worker, who was found in the Paltcz home, told the police that she is glad her hus­band Is dead. She said she was afraid of him and thought he would kill her. She also claimed that he killed a man in the old country and had served time for it there.

She refused to bury the body, and a brother and sister of the dead man will take it to Detroit for burial.

Mascaros is still in University hos­pital, Ann Arbor, and the physicians state that he has a good chance for recovery, although they have not yet been able to locate the bullet in his back. He told the physicians he used to board at the Palicz home in Del-ray and the trouble started there over a year ago. He says he shot in self defense and the prosecutor declares he probably will not be held for the death of Palicz.

State Treasury 8hy. The state treasury is short of funds.

There are now $300,946.67 left In the general fund, but as the new fiscal year begins Thursday, and as there are a number :of appropriations forth­coming for prisons and asylums, it is expected they will take nearly all of this sum.

The loan of $E50,000 authorized by the legislature has not yet been made, however, but notwithstanding this it is expected that from now till the middle of January, there, will be a large shortage. The question which confronts the treasury officials is how to remedy the matter. It is figured that by the time the taxes begin to oome In, in January, the deficit will be almost a million.

Looks Dark for Depositors. At the investigation into the affairs

of the defunct bank of Ironwood pro­gresses, the situation looks worse for the depositors and no better for the accused officials of the Institution. Large quantities of securities held by the bank are said to be practically without value, and it is estimated that no less than $600,000 of the depositors' cash was spent In the purchase of al­most worthless paper.

President H. P. Jahn and Assistant Cashier George Braddow, put under arrest by a deputy United States mar­shal, have secured their release under bonds of 125,000 and $10,000 respec­tively. Cashier £. T. Lawson, how­ever, whose bond was placed at $60.-000 found more difficulty in getting it and was paroled in the custody of the marshal while he Is hunting for bonds­men.

The men who are checking up the securities of the Institution assert that the completion of the work will^be followed by some startling revelations in regard to the management of the bank.

Costs Some Money.

Friday the secretary of state's de­partment was shipping to each mem­ber of the house of representatives 100 copies of the Michigan manual, and to each senator 200 copies. The department is obliged to pay cartage tnd freight on these shipments, amounting to a large sum. Deputy Secretary of State Mears dug up an old, forgotten Btatute which permits the department to draw $300 to pay express and freight bills, and is using this amount to help get the legislators their literature.

Critics of the legislature point to 'the fact that with a decrepit general fund, now is the time for the mem­bers to be really self-sacrificing, and notify the department of state to hold the books for awhile. They have scant hopes, however, that this will he done when they remember the accounts turned In for extra pay during the recent session.

Saloontsta Sued. Two Grand Rapids women have

started $10,000 damage suits against saloonkeepers of the county. Mrs. Georgia De Clopper asks that Ohas. W. Baker, of Byron Center, and An­ton Bieber, of North Dorr, give her that amount, because, she alleges, they sold liquor to her husband, and he later was struck by a L/ake Shore train and lost all the fingers of his right hand, besides sustaining severe cuts about the head.

Mrs. Jessie Evans RayR that on Jan­uary 25, 1909, after she had posted notices with them and other saloon-lsti not to sell him liquor, Orin Lake and John Hart, of Cedar Springs, fur­nished whisky to Claude Emmons, her son, and the latter either fell or laid down on the G. R. AY I. tracks and was killed by a train.

Six month* after the devastating earthquake of Dec. 28, which laid waste over a score of cities and towns in Calabria and Sicily and kill­ed 200,000 people, Meaalna and Reg-gio were Thursday morning again visited by earth shocks, which, had they been rebuilt, would have laid them a second time in ruins.

It would seem that nature is de­termined to blot out these cities1, but recently two of the fairest in the world.

While minor shocks have been of frequent occurrence in Sicily In the last six months, Wednesday night they became more serious and caused considerable alarm.

The most severe quakes came at 7:20 and 7:26 Thursday morning, and were similar to the fatal disturbances of December, being accompanied by the roaring noises that added to the terror of that fateful night

The population again fled in fear and cries of terror rent the arr. The people hurried to the..ppen places of the olty and the surrounding country, praying to the saints that their lives might be spared.

It is as yet impossible accurately to determine the number of casual­ties. Some of the reports are alarm­ing, but they cannot be verified. So far aa is positively known only a few people were hurt.

One woman wa* killed by a falling wall and a child was seriously in­jured.

Gradually, as the confidence of the people returned, Messina had acquired a population of something over 26,000, but today the people again are in ter­ror and do not feel themselves safe, even in the temporary huts erected for their shelter.

They lack food and covering and are camping ont under trees and in oaves in pitiful and desolate groups.

Sailors, soldiers and policemen have been seat out through the district to prevent looting and give courage to the people.

Between 8 o'clock last night and 7:20 o'clock this morning eight shocks were recorded and the instruments at the observatory have registered a to­tal of 10 shocks of varying severity since 7:20.

News received from the provinces indicates that some damage has been wrought there, but it is as yet im­possible correctly to estimate the ex tent of the disaster.

W a a Leon Drowned? That the body of a Chinaman found

la the Hudson river last night is that of Leon Ling, the alleged murderer of Elsie Sigel, la affirmed by a report­er who viewed the body today In the Fordham morgue.

"This is undoubtedly the body of Leon Ling," aaid the reporter. "I knew him well at Fort George all last sum­mer. He was running a ping-pong game there. I recognize him partlc ularly by his hair and generally by his appearance. If I could see his teeth, I could make this identification doub­ly positive^t^Bave no doubt tliat this is Ling."

In the effort to fully establish the identity of the corpse several other persons who. knew Leon well were taken to the morgue today and viewed the body, and if necessary, members of the Sigel family will be. asked to aid the police In this respect. The hight, weight, complexion and certain peculiarities of physical appearance of the dead man correspond with those attributed to Leon in life. The ab­sence of clothing on the drowned man, except its undershirt, was. one of the baffling features of the case.

That the body was absolutely nude when taken from the river indicates to the police that the Chinaman was not a suicide. Had he committed sui­cide, Capt. Carey contends, he would not have stripped himself of his clothing. The fact that the body was unclothed showed that there was an effort to prevent the identification.

Sugar Trust Indictments. The American Sugar Refining Co.,

six of its directors and two other individuals were indicted by a fed­eral grand jury in New York Thurs­day on a charge of conspiracy in re­straint of trade in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law.

The individuals indicted are Wash­ington B. Thomas, president, and Ar­thur Donner, Chas. P. Senff and John E. Parsons, of New York; JoHn May­er, of Morriatown, N. J., and Geo. H. Fraaier, of Philadelphia, directors.

Indictments also were found against Gustavo E. Kissel and Thomas B. Har­nett, counsel for Adolph Segal. There were 14 counts in the indictment.

Confessed Murder. James Edward Cunningham, a la­

borer, confesaed to the murder of Misa Caroline Brasch, cashier for Ural Bros/ Construction Co., San Francis­co, who was shot and killed in the company's offices last Wednesday. Cunningham surrendered himself be­cause another man was under arrest charged with the crime. Cunningham, according to his statement, entered the offices of the Gray Bros, just aa Novak departed. Novak had disputed with Miss Brasch a trifling difference in his pay check md, falling to get satisfaction, went away in anger. Stepping before the ^ashler's window immediately afterward, CunnragtiS* declares he renewed a wrangle of SOT* era! weeks' standing over his check, and finally shot the girl.

Craxy Snake's W a r . The late unpleasantness in the Lit­

tle Tiger mountains has left Oklahoma with a war debt. Because the theft of a cow was the cause of the warpath venture of Chief Crazy Snake and the Marathon of Col. Roy V. Hoffman and 200 brave soldier lads over the Hick­ory Stamping Ground course, It is hoped that lawyers will be able to "construe the law" so that the horse thief appropriation may cover the de­ficit

Col. Hoffman's unsuccessful excur­sion cost approximately $7,000. The governor has a military appropriation of $3,000. with which to defray the cost.

THE SERVICEABLE COAT SUIT

Many Points Which It Will Be Well to Remember When Making Your

Selection.

The girl who is choosing a service* able coat suit for everyday wear from now until October should regard these points: .,., . . . . , . „ .

It is as old fashioned to cut off a coat half way - between the knees and hips as- between* knees and- ankles.

Coats are single-breasted, rarely dou­ble-breasted.

New models still show straight panel back*, which hang for several inches lower than the sides. These panels are also pointed as well as straight.

Sleeves are still small and reach to the wrist, and many of them show flat, fitted cuffs.

Three-button cutaway coats- are made in all materials.

Re vers are often omitted. Flat triming is pirt around the neck and a Dutch collar of baby Irish lace Is added at the back.

Sleeveless coats are being made up in summer materials, and they will prove quite comfortable in hot weath­er. The sides should be Joined at the hips, if not above.

SOMETHING NEW IN BRAIDING.

Long, Loose Frock Offers Good Op­portunity for Those Who Are

Fond of the Work*.

People. Who spend a great propor­tion of their days doing fancy stitches naturally seek at times to put the work upon things unmistakably use­ful; Lingerie comes In for a regular share of KL. but at certain times of the year frocks clamor for recogni­tion.

Women who love this work cry out for fresh ideas. "What Is there that has not been done by our friends and neighbors?" "Tell us something new ty 'embroider!" And this time the something comes to hand in an oblig­ing model—one of the long, loose frocks whose front panel. Is plain, ex­cept for a motif of embroidery Just across the bust, and whose half-fitted side pieces are done in an all-over br Chllng pattern under the arms to thet hem and extending round to the baek panel. This panel in turn is treated to a repetition of the Blight motif in embroidery Just at its top, •cross the shoulders.

This braiding is distinctly new in ttt position, and is undoubtedly worth while on the white wash gown, which will not fade, or on the black net evening gown, which will be so serv­iceable as to repay the worker the tfill measure of satisfaction.

DOCTORS SAVE LIHLEFELLOW

Lad ts Unconscious and Almost Pur pie, from fttramjulation When

Finally Discovered Suspend-ed from Limb of Tree.

Atlanta, Ga.—An attempt to carry out a scene in a moving picture show, where a hanging occurred, came near proving fatal for Oirard Williams, aged six years, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. M. G. Williams the other aft-: ernoon, when he was left hanging te a tree by a strap fastened about his neck, in the back yard of his grand­mother, Mrs. W- A. Williams, on Spring street

When taken down, the little boy was blue in the face, every muscle was rigid and he was in an uncon­scious condition. Four physicians were hurriedly called, and after work­ing heroically for two hours, the lit­tle fellow began to regain conscious­ness. With perfect quiet and rest, the physicians Btate, there is a good chance for his recovery.

Glrard, together with his little brother and Philip Green, a neighbor's boy, all about the same age, were playing in the back yard of Mrs. Wil­liams, the former children's grand­mother, shortly after noon, when it was suggested, it is said, that they carry out the adventures of a man flashed upon the curtain of a moving picture theater. In this play the lit­tle boys had seen a man hung up to a tree by bis neck, and afterward cut down, without Buffering any evil ef­fects.

A tree, with inviting limb and a convenient coal house, is located in the back yard. All,that was needed was a rope or strap with which the experience of the man in the moving picture show could be Imitated. , The little fellows thought of a leather

strap which they had seen in Mrs. Williams' house, and it was secured.

Just who placed the strap about Gl-rard's neck and how he was suspend­ed from the limb could not be learned. After leaving Glrard in his perilous position, the little brother and the lit­tle Green boy went into the house.

"Where is Glrard, boys?" asked Miss Green, a sister of the little boy's father.

"He is out In the back yard hang­ing to a tree!" was the innocent re­ply.

With the gravest or fears. Miss Green and a servant rushed out of the house aid into the back yard. The sight that met their gase sent a thrill of horror through their minds. Gl­rard was tied so high that it was im­possible to cut the strap, and the servant was compelled to break the limb, and let him down as tenderly ss possible. She then unbuckled the strap from about his neck.

Girard was unconscious, his mus­s e s were rigid and his face was al­most purple from strangulation. He was tenderly borne into the house and physicians were called.

The little boy was still unconscious when the physicians arrived. Some bromide was administered, ice was placed about his head, and a vigorous mechanical massage was given, and the physicians succeeded in bringing Glrard back to consciousness.

8af* Bet. "I think they'll marry. She is his

first love." "That doesn't mean anything." "Well, he is her last chance.

Postmaster General Meyer ia of a serious/turn, of mind, hut he? ha* a bit of humor in his .n^afceup, nevertheless. Being looked upon as the shrewdest politician in the president's cabinet, he is the objective point for newspaper correspondents on cabinet days.

,L«stv week a* Mr, Meyer emerged from the White House a newspaper man asked:

"Mr. postmaster General, can'f you give us some news about the cabinet meetings?"

'There really hi nothing to Bay," rw plied the cabinet oflcex. "We diet cussed nothing of especial impor­tance."

"Do you mean to say you did not discuss politics?" the newspaper man queried. ,

The postmaster general burst into laughter. When he recovered bis us­ual serenity he>said:

"Do you suppose we were all mux-sled?"

Here's a Good One. A friend of mine told me of a curi­

ous experience. He was carefull} stalking a big bull elephant in a large herd, when they got his wind, and a big cow elephant charged him. Me Jumped behind a large tree as the elephant reached him, and, being un­able to stop herself in time, the ele­phant drove her tusks with such force into the tree that they snapped off close to her head. The- elephant wss stunned for a moment, but lickily turned and galloped after the fast re­treating herd, leaving him the posses­sor of some 80 pounds of ivory, valued at about $#50.—Circle Magazine.

Alcohol and Tuberculosis. The most prominent tuberculosis

specialists In the country agree that alcohol will not cure consumption. Dr. S. A. Knopf sayB: "Alcohol has never cured and never will cure tuberculosis. It will either prevent or retard recov ery." Dr. Frank Billings of Chicago and Dr. Vincent'Y. Bowdltch, ex-preai dents of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubereti losis; Dr. Lawrence F. Flick of Phila delphia and Dr. Edward L. Trudeau oi Saranac Lake, the founder of the anti tuberculosis movement in this country are all of the same opinion.

Objection to Women Golfer*. "Farmers don't mind renting their

fields to golfers, but they are strongly opposed to women."

"Whyf "Because woman gqlfers are always

losing hairpins and hatpins and stick­pins in the grass. Follow the trail of a woman's foursome with" a pincushion and I'll guarantee you a cushionfnl of pins at the end of the ninth hole."

"But why does the farmer mind thatr

"Because afterward when his sheep and cattle graze in those fields they swallow pins. Pins, I needn't tell you, are injurious to the health."

The Marital Grasshopper. What is a grasshopper? The latest

definition comes from western Aus­tralia. Domestic servants are almost unprocurable there, and wives have to do nearly all their own household work. The consequence Is that they are compelled to recuperate at the Sea­side in summer. In their absence the husbands have to prepare their own meals and do domestic duty generally. Husbands BO engaged have come to be locally known as "grasshoppers." No doubt the word is the husband of the more familiar "grass widow."—Lon­don Chronicle.

Cheering Him Up. "Bill," said the invalid's friend, "I've

come to cheer you up a bit like. I've brought yer a few flahrs. Bill. I fought if I was too late they'd come in 'andy for a wreaf, yer know. Don't get down-'earted, Bill. Lummy, don't you look gashly! But there, keep up yer spirts, ole sport; I've come to see yer an* cheer yer up a bit. Nice little room you ave 'ere, but as I sea to meself when I was a-comin' up: 'Wot orkard staircase to get a coffin dahn!"'—London Globe.

Should Take His Medicine. "A feller shouldn't stand in the mid­

dle of the street to talk pessimism," declared the Plunkvllle philosopher.

"Why not?" "Fust Be says life ain't worth living,

and then jumps when he hears an au­tomobile honk."

Bucolic Rebuke. "Pa is scolding the new gardener

dreadfully." "The man is such a hayseed." "I suppose that is the reason pa is

giving him snch a raking over."

The Earth and the Moon. That the earth must shine on the

noon even as the lioon shinets on the e:mh is obvious. To detect this light irom the eorth on tl!« Junar surface and scientifically prove its existence is aiMHlu-r n:atter iL 5H interesting to find that a K cent i-umbf r of a French astronomical paper contains two pho­tographs of partb of the moon illum­inated by earth iigbt.- They were taken by M. Qucnifp^t at the Juvisy observatory.

Leave It to Him. A Wichita man was- fussing because

of his aching teeth. "Why don't you go to a dentist?" asked one of his friends.

"Oh, I haven't got the nerve," was the reply.

"Never mind that," replied the friend, "the dentist will find the nerve all right."—Kansas City Journal.

The War Department has had its attention called recently to an unusual citizenship case. It is that of an enlisted man of the coast artillery coips. He came to this country in 1903, at which time he declared his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States and gave his residence as Brooklyn, N. Y. He enlisted in the army and since 1904 has been employed on a vessel engaged in planting mines. The vessel is now at San Francisco where he applied for completion of his nat­uralization, but the application was denied on the ground that service on a mine planter could not be considered residence in the United States. As the War Department has no jurisdiction in naturalization cases it will be up to the courts of New York to de~ cfde this interesting case.

An IntytfttHig Letter •saaaaaaeiaw

C From Nebraska .

DiUer, Nebr., Juue29,Q9 F. L. And rows,

Piaokaey, Mich. Dear Sir: *

Enclosed pisase find the owl yon baye been looking for, and by obserymg date of draft, ybu wilt notice that it was my intention to re­mit some time ago. We are well and enjoying this "good old summer time." I tell you, F. U, that things look

mighty good to us in this section. And why should it not? Some months ago I read the result of investigation and analysis ot the soil ot all the agricul­tural sections of tbe earth, in wbioh tbe statement was made that the South Piatt region in Nebraska has tbe most fertile and productive soil. The county in which we live is in the heart of the South Platte region. And further, reports from every section of our state today without exception, in­dicate the most productive and pros­perous year this state has ever known. I wish you could see the farms which about SO years ago, cost the settlers S2.50 an acre. Little of this today can be bought for less than $100 an acre, most of tbe farms can not be touched for the latter sum. Two weeks ago I passed .the finest 80 acre field of wheat I ever 6aw. The entire section, said a neighboring farmer without a* building on it, and without fences, except two barbed wires around each 80 acres, wonld sell for 9140 an acre; and e van at that figure he said, the land wonld pay for itself, with the crops it raises in 6 years or lObS.

Yea, this land of com and wheat and alfalfa ie grand. We have been-indulging ourselves in cherries to onr hearts content for tbe first time in years, as the trees in our yard have yielded us between 4 and 5 bushel!. We feet almost like farmers on a small scale, as we have running in onr little orchard a mother bog, 6 pigs 9 months old, and 9 pigs 6 weeks old, and some 60 chicken*.

1 think I told yon |att fall what a tough proposition the Diller school had been for two years previous to my coming. Well I never enjoyed a years work more than I have the year just ended. I have the satisfaction of hearing from every source, that I have given Diller the best sehool it ever bad, and for next year, I was vot­ed an increase of 910 a month and at tbe annual meeting yesterday the dis­trict voted me another teacher in the High School, making 7 teachers in our school, 3 in the High school. Both cf the assistants whom I shall have in tbe high school next year, graduated from the ?tate University this month, Nebraska's school system is on a very high standard. The free high school law which the Dispatch stated is to become operative in Mich igan next year, by which pupils of the country schools, passing the 8th grade examination, may have their tuition paid by their district in some nearby high school, has been in oper­ation in this state for years; but in this state the pupil can enter any ac­credited high school in tbe state and tbe home district must pay the tuition of $3 per month. Our high school re­ceived nearly $400 tuition from such pupils from other districts during tbe past year. There is but one other ac­credited high school than ours in the county and but one other snob school within 20 miles; so yon see we are nicely situated and draw foreign pu« pi Is from 8 miles on tbe north, 7 on the east, 7 on tha south, 6 on the west.

Would like to spend a joonth in Michigan tbis summer bnt must fore go tbe pleasnre. Whtn I went to Michigan last summer I took with me the biggest appetite tor fish I ever accumulated but I find myself again laboring under an eltoost equally heavy burden of tbe same> kind. We have a few catfish in muddy Indian Creek and that is all. Wflh best wishes,

It was reported to the existing governments-it had exist­ed for twenty-fetjr hours—that Fur-tado was seen after.the fight et which his party had been routed to enter the boose of his fiancee. Captain Enrico Bartolomez wss sent there to make a tearefcu He found only the colonel's mother and a surgeon.

MWhere is your daughter, tenors?" asked Bartolomea.

"I do not know." "Why are you, here, aanorr? he asked

of the surgeon. "Is any one ill?" "Yes—no. Senora Herrera is in poor

health." The officer looked incredulous at

both these replies, but he had made a search Of the house and there seem­ed nothing farther to do but with* draw and report the matter to the government. Just as he was about to do so he saw something that looked

- like the point of a woman's slipper under a bed. He had not thought to find a brave soldier in such a position and had not looked there. He went up to the bed, seized the slipper and-pnlled out Dona Ysabel. She roBe from the floor, pale with terror.

"Why do you hide from me?" asked the captain: "Do yon suppose I am hunting fbr women?"

"Ah, aenor captain," faltered the girl, "I. feared that since I was known* to "be the betrothed of the matt you seek you would have me shot."

Without a word the girl started for the door. , •>

"Come, senor'Do|Ctor,»* said the*cap-tain. "The colonel will need you.**

The doctor started forward, hesitat­ed, put his hand to h!s heart, gave a moan and fell on the floor. The cap­tain stooped over1 him and looked at him with a'puseled'and surprised ex­pression.

"We must call for succor," he ssid. "Oh, Senor Capta**,'.' pleaded1 Dona

Ysabel. "If we delsy Colonel Furtado Will die. Leave*my mother to take care of the doctor, and we wUl get another on the way for my love*."

The story opens with the shipwreck of the s teamer on which Miss Genevieve Leslie, an American heiress, Lord Wln-thrope, an Englishman, a n d Tom Blake, a brusque American, were passengers. The three were tossed upon an uninhab­ited Island and were the only ones not drowned. Blake recovered from a drunk­en stupor. Blake, shunned on t h e - b o a t because of his roughness, became a hero as preserver of the helpless pair. The Englishman was suing tor the hand of Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim back to the ship to recover what was left. Blake xetoroed safely. Winthrope wasted his last match on a cigarette, for Which he was scored by Blake: Their first meal was a dead fish. The trio s tar ted a ten mile, hike for higher land. Thirst at­tacked them.

"By Jove, we'd better withdraw around the point!"

"Withdraw your aunty! There's no leopard going to tackle us out here in open ground this time of day. The sneaking tomcat! If only I had a match, I'd show him how we smoke rat holes."

"Mr. Winthrope spoke of rubbing sticks to make fire," suggested Miss Leslie.

"Make sweat, you mean. But we may as well try It now, if we're going to at all. The sun's hot enough to fry eggs. We'll go back to a shady place and pick up sticks on the way."

Though there was shade under the cliff within some 600 feet, they had

on cocoa nuts, th» only procurable food Miss Leslie showed a liking for Blake, but detested his roughness. Led by BSake they established a nome in some cllrfs. Blake found a fresh water spring. Miss Leslie faced an unpleasant situation.

selves from the sun. They then feasted f y>vod—a dead thornbush. Here they gathered a quantity of branches, even Miss Leslie volunteering to carry a load.

All was thrown down in a heap near the cliff, and Blake squatted beside it, penknife in hand. Having selected the dryest of the larger sticks, he bored a hole in one side and* dropped in a pinch of powdered bark. Laying the stick in the full glare of the sun, he thrust a twig into the hole and began to twirl it between his palms. This

CHAPTER VIII.—Continued. "They'll be dry in a day or two.

Say, Winthrope, you might fetch some of those stomas—>size of a ball. I used to be a fiancy pitcher when I was a kid, and wernight scare up a rabbit or something."

"I play cricket myself. But these stones—1" . - ; . , . .

"Better'n a gun, when you havent got the gun. Come on. We'll go In a bunch, after all, «n case I need stones."

With due consideration for Win-thrope's ankle—not for Winthrope— Blake set so slow a pace that the half-milfja walk consumed over half an hour. But his smouldering Irritation was soon quenched when they drew near the green thicket at the foot of the cleft. In the almost deathlike stillness of mid-afternoon, the sound of trickling water came to their ears, clear and- musical.

"A spring**., shouted Blake. "I guessed right Look at those green plants add gra^tfi thtre'sthe channel where it ruml^out In the sand and dries up."

The others followed him eagerly as he puBhed in among the trees. They saw no running water, for the tiny rill that trickled down'the ledges was

, matted over with vines. But at the foot of the slope lay a pool, some ten yards across, and overshadowed by the 'surrounding trees. There was ho underbrn8h, and the ground was trampled bare as a floor.

"By Jove," said Wfnthrope; "see the tracks! There must have been a drove of sheep about."

"Deer, you mean," replied Blake, bending to examine the deeper prints at the edge of the pool. "These am't sheep tracks. A lot of them are arger.*

"Could you not uncover the brook?" asked Miss Leslie. "If animals have

* boon drinking here, one would prefer t oieaaer water." ' K "Sure," assented Blake. "If you're ; fame for a climb, and can wait a few

minutes, we'll get it out of the spring Itself. We've got to go up anyway, to get at our poultry yard!"

"Here's a place that looks like a path," called Winthrope,- who had cir­cled about the edge of the pool to the farther side.

Blake ran around beside him and . stared at the tunnel-like passage which

wound up the limestone ledges be­neath the overarching thickets.

"Odd place, is it not?" observed Winthrope. "Looks like a fox run. only larger, you know."

"Too low for deer, though -and their hoofs would have cut up ttia moss and ferns more. Let's get a elose look."

As he spoke, Blake stooped and climbed a few yards up the trail to an overhanging ledge, four or five fe«t high. Where the trail ran up over this break in the slope the stone was bare of all vegetation. Blake laid his club on the top of the ledge, and was about to vault after it, when, directly beneath his nose, he saw the print of a great catlike paw, outlined in dried mud. At the same instant a deep growl came rumbling down tho "fox

movement he kept up for several min­utes; but whether he was unable to twirl the twig fast enough or whether the right kind of wood or tinder was lacking all his efforts failed to pro­duce a spark.

Unwilling to accept the failure, Winthrope insisted upon trying in turn, and pride held him to the task until he was drenched with sweat. The result was the same.

"Told you so," Jeered Blake from where he lay in the shade. "We'd stand more chance cracking stones to­gether."

"But what shall we do now?" asked Miss Leslie. "I am becoming very tired of cocoanuta, and there seems\ to be nothing else around here. Indeed, I think this is all such a waste of time. If we had walked straight along the shore this morning we might have reached a town."

"We might, Miss Jenny, and then, again, we mightn't. I happened to »/erhaul the captain's chart—Quill-.VAne, Mozambique—that's all for hun-di«ds of miles. Towns on this coast are about as thick as hen's-teeth."

"How about native villages?" de­manded Winthrope.

'Oh, yes; maybe I'm fool enough to go into a wild "nigger town without a gun. Maybe I didn't talk with fel­lows down on the Rand."

"But what shall we do?" repeated Miss Leslie, with a little frightened catch in her voice. She was at last beginning to realize what this rude break In her sheltered, pampered life might mean. "What shall we do? It's

"I say, Blake, I wish you would drop that name. It is no harder to say Winthrope."

"You're off, there," rejoined Blake. "But look here, I'll make If Win, if you figure out what we ought to do next."

"Really, Blake, that would aot be half bad. They—er—-they called me Win at Harrow."

"That's one side. Here's the other. Bar to wade across—sharks and alli­gators; then swampy ground—ma­laria, mosquitoes, thorn jungle. Guess the hands of both of you are still tore enough, by their look."

"If only I had a pot of cold cream!" sighed Miss Leslie.

"IT only I had a hunk of jerked beef!" echoed Blake.

"I say, why couldn't we chance it for the night around on the seaward face of the cliff?" asked Winthrope. "I noticed a place where the ledges overhang—almost a cave. Do you think it probable that any wild beast would venture so close to the sea?"

"Can't say. Didn't see any tracks; so we'll chance it for to-night. Next?"

'"By morning I believe my ankle will be in such shape that I could go back for the string of cocoanuts which we dropped on the beach."

"I'll go myself, to-day, else we'll have no supper. Now we're getting down to bedrock. If those nuts have not been washed away by the tide, we're fixed for to-night; and for two meals, such as they are. But what next? Even the rain pools will be dried up by another day or so."

"Are not sea-birds good to eat?" In­quired Miss Leslie.

"Some." "Then, if only we could climb the

cliff—might there not be another place?"

"No; I've looked at both sides. What's more, that spotted tomcat has got a monopoly on our water supply. The river may be fresh at low tide; but we've got nothing to boil water In, and such bayou stuff is just con­centrated malaria."

"Then we must find water else* where," responded Misa Leslie. "Might we not succeed if we went on to the other ridge?"

"That's the ticket You've got a headpiece, Miss Jenny! It's too late to start now. But first thing to-mor-

f row I'll take a run down that way, while you two lay around camp and see if you,.can twist,.aome sort of flsh-line out of cocoahut fiber. By braid* ing. your hair, Miss Jenny, you can spare us your hair-pins for hooks."

"But, Mr. Blake, I'm afraid—I'd rather you'd take us with you. With that dreadful creature so near—"

"Well, I don't know. Let'a see your feet?"

leveled the stones beneath the ledges chosen by Winthrope, and gathered enough dried sea-weed along the talus to soften the hard beds.

Soothed by the monotonous wash of the sea among the rocks, even Mies Leslie slept well. Blake, who had in­sisted that she should retain his coat was wakened by the chilliness pre­ceding the dawn. Five minutes later they started „pja their journey.

The starlight glimmered on the waves and shed a faint radiance* ovei the rocka. This and their knowledge of the way enabled them to pick a path along the foot of the cliff without difficulty. Once on the beach, they swung along at a smart gait, Invigor­ated by the cool air.

Dawn found them half way to their goal. Blake called a halt when the first red streaks shot up the eastern sky; All stood waiting until the quick­ly following sun sprang forth from th« sea. Blake's first act was to glance from one headland to the other, esti­mating their relative distances. Hii grunt of satisfaction was lost ia Win-thrope's exclamation: "By Jove, look at the cattle!"

YOUNGSTERS TAUGHT TO SMOKE

Two Centuries Ago Engjieh Children Carried Pipes to School,

The practice of juvenile smoking In this country in the seventeenth cen­tury was practically universal, sayi the London Chronicle. Jorevin de Rochefort a French traveler of that period, in an account published in 1671 gives a description of an evening he spent in Worcester. He was catechised by one of the townsmen as to the hab­its of the French poeple. "While we were talking about the town," he writes, "he asked me if J t was the custom in France, as in England, that when the children went to school they carried In their satchels with their books a pipe of tobacco which their mother took care to fill early In the morning, it serving them instead ol breakfast, and that at the accustomed hour every one laid aside his book to light his pipe, the master smoking with them and teaching them how to hold their pipes and draw their to bacco, thus accustoming them to It from their youths, believing it abso­lutely necessary for a man's health."

AN OLD TIMER Has Had Experiences,

A woman who haa used Pottum since it came upon the market knowa from experience the wisdom ff. us­ing Postum in place of coffee if oso values health and a clear hrain. She says: v

"At the time Postum was first put on the market I Wat suffering from nervous dyspepsia, and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or -coffee. Finally I decided to take his advice and try Postum. I got a package and had It carefully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued ita use and verj soon its beneficial effects convinced me of ita value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia.

"My husband had been drinking cof­fee all his life until*'it had affected his nerves terribly, and I persuade*} ' him to shift to Postum. It waa eaeji-to get him to make the change f i V the Postum Is so delicious. It cef» tainly worked wonders for him.

"We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate nor depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honest­ly strengthens the nerves and the stomach.

"To make a long story short, our en­tire family continued to use Postum with satisfying results, as shown in our fine condition of health and we have noticed a rather unexpected im­provement in brain and nerve power."

Increased brain and nerve power always follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes In a very marked manner. "There's a Reason."

USE CARE IM TRANSPLANTING

Attentton aad Careful Nursing Re­quired to Companaale for tha

•hock In Moving,

Moving plaata trom one locality to another is more or leaa of a violent op­eration. By the process the plant la Jeprlved of quite a number of its toed* Ing roots aad for a time is cut off from Its water supply; consequently it is necessary to exercise considerable care with the plant until It again be-somea established in tbe soit To help Insure this an abundant supply of moisture in the soil aft all times is es­sential to keep the plant from wilting and incite It to take hold of the soil Quickly. In sections where irrigation Is practiced the transplanted plants should be irrigated immediately after letting, and frequently afterward until Sanger of their dying out is passed. This can be told by the plants freshen­ing up and starting new leaves. It Is also very essential In setting the plants out to firm the soil well around the roots. This Is very Important and ihould not be neglected. Many plants have failed on account of not doing this. Proper firming of the soil helps to exclude air from the roots and prevents the plants from drying up.

In sections where irrigation is hot practiced plants are preferably trans­planted during a rainy spell. If this cannot be taken advantage of it will be necessary to water the plants by hand until they are established. When loing this do It thoroughly; a little water Is' sometimes nearly as bad as aone.

In moving the young plants from the .seed bed to the field and until set Dut they should be protected from the rays of the sun to prevent wilting. This protection can be given by wrap­ping the roots up In a wet sack or car­rying to the field In a bucket or tub with a little water in the bottom to keep the roots moist. When digging the plants out of the seed bed use a shovel or spade and avoid breaking off as many roots as possible. It is also better to wet the bed first If the plants are very tall It will be well to cut off a part of the top. The opera­tion will not hurt the plant and helps to keep it from wilting, as it pre­vents excessive evaporation of moist­ure from the plant through the leaves.

Before transplanting the soil should be well prepared, being property fined aad leveled. Plants usually take root more quickly in freshly stirred soil. After the land has been properly, pre­pared mark off the rows where the

• plants are to be set. This may be done if tt Is desired to plant on ridges with a plow; if on the level, by a marker. One thing to keep in mind is to make the rows straight aqjd the proper dis­tance apart. It never pays to crowd plants^ By so doing a crop inferior in quality Is liable to be produced.

Transplanting can nearly always be successfully done with most plants if the proper care is observed. Some of the things to keep in mind are: Dig plants carefully, protect them from the sun after digging until transplant­ed, supply plenty .of water to trans­planted plants, set the plants proper­ly in the hole and firm the soil around the roots.

8a I elf y. Salsify is a much neglected crop.

Many people are very fond of this vegetable and It 1B just as easy to grow as parsnips. Sow early, thin the plants to three or four inches, and give clean tillage. The roots may be harvested in the fall for winter use, or they may be allowed to remain in the ground until spring.

Gardening Made Interesting. If the beans you are watching hap­

pen to be of the "pole" variety, watch the way they climb their pole and then watch the other vines and note tne difference in the way they twine— some going always toward the sun and others in the opposite direction.

All vines have a wonderful fascina­tion when one begins to study their habits for their ways of working seem as intelligent and their movements as voluntary as those of a person—but they must be watched to learn these things.

Do Not Forget That— It's a great temptation to rush tha

work these first warm days; but we may do the soft teams great harm by giving them heavy tasks before they become seasoned. Better go a hit slow.
