as ne was about to open the door through which he had entered the room it swung wide and Count Marlans strode in. Baldos paused trresolutely and then proceeded on his way with- out paying the slightest attention to the | commander of the army, Marlanx came to an amazed stop, and his face flushed with resentment. |

“Halt, sir!’ he exclaimed harshly. | “Dont you know enough to salute me, | air?” H

Baldos turned Instantly, bis figure straightening like a flash, His eyes met those of the Iron Count and did not waver, although his face went white with passion,

“And who are you, sir?’ he asked in cold, steely tones, The count almost reeled,

“Your superior officer! That should be enough for you!’ he half hissed, with deadly levelness,

“Oh, then I see no reason why 1 should not salute you, air,” anid Baldos, with one of his rare amiles, He salut. ed Lis superor officer a shade too elab- orately and turned away, Marlanx’s eyes gilstened.

“Stop! Have I said you could go, sir? I have a bit of advice to”—

“My command to go comes from your superior, sir,” said Baldos, with irritating blandness,

“Be patient, general,” cried Beverly, in deep distress. “He does not know any better, I will stand sponsor for wm.” And Haldes went away with a light step, bis blood singing, his devil tmay-care heart satisied. The look Io her eyes was very sustaining. /« he left the castle be said aloud to bim- self with an easy disregard of the con- Peqjuences;

“Weill, it seems that I am to be asso- elated with the devil as well as with angels, Heavens! June is a glorious month.”

“Now, you proussed you'd be nice to him, General Marianx,” cried Beverly the jostant Baldos was out of the room, “Iles new at this sort of thing, you know, and, besides, you didn't ad- dress bim very politely for an utter stranger,”

“The insolent dog!" snarled Marianx, bia self control returning slowly, “He shall be taught well and thoroughly, bever fear, Mise Calhoun, There ia a way to train such recruits as he, and

they never forget what they have learned.” “Oh, please don't be harsh with

him,” she pleaded. The smile of the Iron Count was not at all reassuring. “Lt know he will be sorry for what he has done, and you"—

“L am quite sure he will be sorry,” sald he, with a most agreeable bow In submission to ber appeal,

“De you want to see Mr, Lorry?” she asked quickly, “I will send for him, general.” She was at the door, Impa- tlent to be with the banished culprita,

“My business with Mr, Lorry can wait,” he began, with a amile meant to be fnviting, but which did not impress her at all pleasantly,

“Well, anyway, I'l tell him you're here,” she sald, ber band on the door knob, “Will you walt here? Goodby.” And then she was racing off through the long balis and up broad staircases toward the boudolr of the princess, There la no telling how long the ruffled count remained in the anteroom, for the excited Beverly forgot to tell Lor ry that he was there,

There were half a dozen people to the room when Beverly entered eager ly, Bhe was panting with excitement. Of all the roonis tn the grim old castle the boudoir of the princess was the moet famously attractive, It was real ly ber home, the exquisite abiding place of an exquisite creature, To lounge on ler divans, to loll in the chaira, to glide through her priceless rugs, was the acme of ludolent pleasure, Few were they who enjoyed the privileges of “little heaven,” as Harry Angulah had christened it on one memorable night long before the princess was Mra, Grevfall Lorry,

“Now, bow do you feel?" erled the Nushed American girl, pausing in the door to polut an impressive Goger at the princess, who was lying back in a huge chair, the picture of distress and annovance.

“I ahall never be able to look that man in the face again.” came dolefully from Yetive’s humbled lips, Dagmar was all suilee and in the fittest of humors, She was the kind of culprit who loves the punishment because of the crime,

“Wasn't it ridicuious, and wasn't it just too lovely?" she erled,

“it was extremely theatrical,” agreed Neverly, seating Lerself on the arm of Yetive’s chalr and throwing a warm arm around ber peck, “Have you all heard about it?” she demanded naive ly, turning to the others, who unques- tionably bad had a jumbled account of the performance,

“You got just what you deserved,” sald Lorry, who was immensely amused,

“I wonder what your august vaga- bond thinks of his princess and her ladies in hiding?" mused Harry An- guish, The Count and Countess Hal- fout were smiling In spite of the as- sault upon the dignity of the court.

“I'd give anything to know what he really thinks,” said the real princess, | “Ob, Beverly, wasn't it awful? And | how he marched us out of that room!"

“I thought it was great,” sald Bev-

erly, her eyes glowing, “Wasn't It splendid? And isn't he good look- ing?"

“He is good looking, I imagine, But { am.no judge, dear, It was utterly impossible for me to look at his face,” lamented the princess.

“What are you going to do with ua?” asked Dagmar penitently,

“You are to spend the wmainder of

your li@"%n a dangeoh, with’ Baldos as guard,” decided Miss Calhoun.

“Beverly, dear, that man is no ordl- nary person,” sald the princess quite positively.

“Of course he isn't. He's a tall, dark mystery.”

“I observed him ag he crossed the ter- race this morning,” said Lorry. “Te's a striking sort of chap, and I'll bet my head he’s not what he claima to be.”

“Tle claims to be a fugitive, you must remember,” sald Beverly in his de fense,

“T mean that he is no common male. factor, or whatever it may be Who and what do you suppose he is? 1 con. feas that I'm interested tn the fellow, and be looks as though one might like him without half trying, Why haven't you dug up his past history, Beverly? You are #0 keen about him.”

“Tie positively refuses to let me dig,” explained Beverly. “1 tried, you know, but he—he—well, he squelched te.”

“Well, after all fa said and dgne, he enught us peeping today, and I am filled with shame,” anid the prepcess, “It doesn't matter who he ts, he nust certainly have a moat unflattering «pin: fon as to what we are.”

“And he is sure to know us sooner or later,” sald the young countess, ao- mentarily serious,

“Oh, if it ever comes to that I shall be In a aplendid position to explain it all to him,” said Beverly, “Don't you see, I'll have to du a lot o+ explaining myself?”

“Baron Dengloss!” announced the guard of the upper ball, throwing open the door for the doughty little chief of police.

“Your highness sent for me?” asked he, advancing after the formal saluta-

tion, The princess exhibited genuine amazement, “1 did, Baron Dangloss, but you

must have come with the wings of an eagle. It ls really not more than three minutes since | gave the order to Colo- hel Quinnox.” The baron smiled mys teriously, but volunteered no solution, The truth is, be was entering the cas- tle doors as the messenger left them, but he was much too fond of effect to spoll a good situation by explanations. It was a long two miles to his office in the Tower, “Something baa just hap pened that impels me to ask a few questions concerning Baldos, the new guard,”

“May 1 firet ask what bas happen. ed?’ Dangloes wae at a loss for the meaning of the general atmile that went around,

“It is quite personal and of no con- sequence, What do you know of him? My curiosity i* aroused. Now, be quiet, Beverly, You are as eager to know na the rest of ua,”

“Well, your highness, | may aa well confess that the man ia a pussle to me

“What ore you gotng to do with ut"

He comes bere a vagabond, but he cer- tainly does not act like cne, He admits that he ia being hunted, but takes no one tnt) his confidence, For that he caunot be blamed,”

“Have you any reason to suspect who he ta?" asked Lorry,

tan?” crea Boveny, as*thnough a cher- ished ideal had been shattered.

“Not if o are to believe the tales from the 2¢%h. Here is another com- pucation, however. There is, as you know, Count Halfont, and perhaps all of you, for that matter, a pretender to the throve of Axphain, the tugitive Prince Frederic. He is described as | young, good looking, a scholar and the next thing to a pauper.”

“Baldos a mere prevender!” cried Beverly in distress, “Never!”

“At any rate, be is not what he pre- tends to be,” said the baron, with a wise smile,

“Then you think he may be Prince Frederic?” asked Lorry, deeply inter- ested,

“I au inelined to think #0, although another complication has arisen. May | it please your highness, I am in an! amazingly tangled state of mind,” ad- mitted the baron, passing his hand over his brow.

“Do you mean that another mystert- ous prince has come to life?’ asked Yetive, her eyes sparkling with interest In the revelations,

“Early this morning a dispatch came to me from the Grand Duke Michael of Rapp-Thorberg, a duchy in western Kurope, informing me that the duke's eldest son had fled from home and ia known to have come to the far east, possibly to Graustark.”

“Great Scott!" exclaimed Anguish, “It never rains but it hails, so here's hall to the princes three.”

“We are the Mecca for runaway roy- alty, it seems,” eaid Count Halfont.

“Go on with the story, Baron Dan-

gloss,” cried the princess, “It is like a book,”

“A description of the young man ne companies the offer of a large reward for information that may lead to his | return home for reconciliation, and” — here the baron paused dramatically. |

“And what?" Interjected Beverly, : who could not wait,

“The description fits our friend Bal dos perfectly!"

“You don't mean it?” exclaimed Lor- ty. “Then be may be any one of the three you have mentioned 7”

“Let me tell you what the grand duke’s secretary says, 1 have the of- ficial notice, but left it in my desk The runaway son of the grand duke is called Christobal. He is twenty-seven years of age, speaks English fuentiy, | besides French and our own language. It seems that he attended an Engtioh college with Prince Dantan and some of our own young men who are atill in

England, Six weeks ago he disappear- ed from his father’s home, At the same tine a dozen wild and venturous retainers left the grand duchy. The party was seen in Vienna a week later, and the young duke boldly announced that he was off to the east to help bia | friend Dantan in the fight for his throne, Going on the theory that Bal- dow is this same Christobal we have only to provide a reason for his pre ferring the wilds to the comforts of our cities, In the frat place, he knows | there is a large reward for bia appre hension and he fears our police, In the | second place, he does not care to direct the attention of I’rince Dantan's foes to himeelf, He timed Dantan in the hills and doubtless was lost for weeks, but the true reason for hia fight ta made plain In the story that was print | ed recently in Paris and Berlin news : papers, According to them, Christobal |

rebelled against hin father's right to select a wife for him. The grand duke had chosen a noble and wealthy bride, and the son had selected a beautiful girl from the lower walks of life, Fa- ther and son quarreled and neither would give an inch. Christobal would hot marry hia father's choice, and the grand duke would not sanction his | anion with the fair plebelan,”

Here Beverly exclaimed proudly: ‘He doesn't look like the sort of man who could be bullied into marrying anybody if he didu't want to,” |

“And he strikes me ae the sort who would marry any one be set his heart upon having,” added the princess, with | 4 taunting glance at Miss Callroun, j

“Umph!" sniffed HBeverly defiantly, | The baron went on with bis narrative, | exhibiting sigus of excitement,

“To lend color to the matter, Christo | bal's sweetheart, the daughter of a game warden, was wurdered the aight before ber lover ted, I know nothing | of the clreumetau attending the! erlme, but It la my undertanding that Chiriatobal ta not suspected, It te pos sible that he is iguornut even now of | the girl's fate.” |

“Well, by the gods, we have a good lv lot of heroes about ual” exclaimed forry,

“But, after all,” ventured the Count wn Talfont, “Baldos may be none of these men,”

“Good heavens, Aunt Yvoune, don't saggest anything #o distressing,” sald fetive, “He must be one of them,”

“IT suggest a speedy way of deter | mining the matter,” sald Anguish “Let us send for aldow and ask him) polnt blank who he la Ff think It ta up to Lim to clear away the mystery.”

"No!" erled Beverly, starting to ber feet,

"But I promised him that no ques tions should be asked,” sald Beverly, almost tearfully, but quite resolutely, *Dido't |, Yet-your highness?"

“Alas, yea!" sald the princess, with a pathetic smile of resignation, but with loyalty In the clasp of her band,

WOMAN’S PERFIDY.

The Way It Was First Disclosed to George Brandes, Who Lived Almost

Entirely Life of Intellect.

In his young manhood George Brandes lived almost entirely in the life of the intellect. Once he missed keeping an engagemént with a girl because he was absorbed in Hegel's philosophy at the time when he ought to have been at the trysting lace. He tells about it in his ‘Recollections :” “With a passionate desire to reach a comprehension of truth, [grappled with the system, began with the en- pi he dia, read the three volumes of ‘Aesthetics,’ the om ne oo of Law,’ the ‘Philosophy of istory,’ the ‘Phenomenonology of the Mind,’ then the ‘Philosophy of Law’ again and finally the ‘Logie,’ the ‘Natural Phil- osophy’ and the ‘Philosophy of the Mind’ in a veritable intoxication _ of comprehension and delight, One day

d

when a young girl toward whom felt attracted had asked me to go an any goodby to her before her depart ure f forges the time, her journey and my promise to her over my Hegel. As T walked up and down my room I chanced to pull my watch out of my pocket and realized that I had misa- ed my appointment and that the girl must have started long PN

Once before in earlier days had he missed another engagement with another young lady, one Henrietta, For the sake of Henrietta’s beautiful eyes and under those eyes he had soundly thrashed another little boy, Then Henrietta asked him if he would meet her the sarne evening under the old bay tree. Dr. Brandes writes: “When we met she had two long straps with her and at once asked me somewhat mockingly and dryly whether T had the courage to let my- self be bound. Of course T anid T had, whereupon vary enrefully and thor- oughly she fastened my artna together with one atrap. Could IT move my arma? No. Then with eager haste she ewung the other satrap and let it fall on my beck again and again.

“My firat ‘emart incket’ was a well thrashed one. She thorovehly enjoyed exerting her atrength. Naturally my boyish ideas of honor would not per: mit me to scream or complain merely etared at her with the pro foundest astonishment. She gave me no explanation, released my hands we each went our own way, and 1 avoided her for the reat of my atay.” Then Henrietta went away and told people. “This,” saya Brandes, “was my firet experience of woman's per fidy. This was my firet real experience of feminine nature.”

Costliness of London Streets.

From several maintenance pointe of view it is, in many cases, cheaper and better in the long run to pave with Caithness flage than to lay granolithic even with the firat coat of Caithness flags. Similarly there might be cireum stances making it desirable, saya “En: gineering,” to discard the macadamiz- ed aurface of a roadway and pave with causeway sete—even with granite ra- ther than with whinstone—and this notwithetanding the very great differ ence in the respective costs, Such consideration of the price of paving lead one to moralize, and wonder if the laying of wood paving blocks in the atreeta of London comes with'n the eternal fitness of things In respect of economy in maintenance. The amount of money annually spent in the maintenance of the London streets muat be “beyond the dreama of avar- leo.”

Tt mvet be reckoned in millions, for the streets are alwaya up. And in Ginseow, with ite granite eens while the firat cost of street paving Is probably much the same as in Lon- don, the life of granite seta will at lenst be five times longer than that of wood blocs, and granite causeway has the additional virtue of being more sanitary than wood paving. But wood block paving is leas nolsy, and an thie te the reason it Je being used In London, who will say that much monev in maintenance ta not well enent ff it leenens the infernal din of the tremendona traffic of all kinds In the atreete of ovr erent cities, and tends to diminish the mental agony and ohysier! torture which the noise ot the numberless street vehicles in creasingly inflieta on the people.

Desertirs the Land, There is no mistaking the signifi cance of the report on the exodus from

the country into the towna just i» sued by the British Board of Agricul- ture the figures are startling. In 184)

there were nearly a million agricul- tural laborers and farm servants in Great Britain; in 1901 there were less than seven hundred thousand, In the same period two million acres of arable land were laid down to grass And aimultaneously there has been a widespread introduction of labor-sav- ing machinery, and consistent efforts on the part of landowners and farm. era to reduce expenses, save, of covrae, In the case of rich men, whose estates are their hobbies from which they do not expect dividends and to whieh they do not look for mainten- ance. Thus there las not only been a marked diminution of the demand for agricultural laborers owing to econo mie causes, but there has also been an equally marked desire on the part of

the rural population to get away from the flelds into the eities,

M.P.'s Hearty Eaters,

The report of the kitchen committee of the British House of Commons show that from Feb. 18 to Dee, 24, 165,451 meals were served in the House, Of these 126 were breakfasts, 39,895 lun- choons, 47,068 dinners, 795 suppers, 76,213 teas and 5,150 meals at bara, The cost of the meala reach a total! of $96,445 or an average of 58 cents, This includes $31,445 for spirits, wines, beers and mineral waters and $5,480 for cigara,

Tar and Feathers,

Tar and feathers are not a peculiar ly American punishment, Richard the Lion-Hearted first proclaimed this punishment, It was when he was set ting out for the third crusade that he gave warning that “a robber who shall be convicted of theft shall have his head cropped after the fashion of a champion, and boiling pitch shall be poured thereon, and the feathers of a cushion shall be shaken out or him, so that he shall be known.”

At sight of the young attorney she sniffed, a slight, ladylike, well bred sniff, but neverthe. leas a sniff.

Two and Three Letter Names of God.

There are thirteen known languages and dialects in which the name of the Deity Is expressed in two lettors—vis;

Hebrew, Al; Simonian, El; Chinese, Vo; HindooByr, le; Babylonian, 1); Sanskrit, Ja, Egyptian, Ju; Tamil, Ko; Yocatanese, Ku; Hindoo, Om; Var ast Hebrew, On; Egyptian, Ra; Chal dean, Ur,

The three lettered name is found in twenty-one languages and provincini dialects—via:

Kast Indian, Aom; [indoo, Aum; Chaldean, Bi; Slavonic, Bog (@ con- traction of “Biall-Bog,” meaning white); Noman, Dea; Grecian, Deo; Basequibo, Dia; Iindoo, Div; Chaldean, Knu; Bog lish, God; Swedish and Danish, Gud; Persian, Hom; Hindoo, Hua; Phoen!. clan Babylonian, Iau; Sanskrit, Jab; Phoenician, Jao; Druldish-Irish, Job; Rayptian, Kue; Irish-Celtie, Omb; Rayptian, Pan, and Latin, Bol,

Taken all together, there are 178 languages and dialects in which as a figure of speech God Is expressed in worda, but in none of them Is the word of overgrown proportions, the longest being “Jaobulion,” a word which ex- pressed the Deity idea according to a certain sect of Irish Druids, known as “mistletoe eaters,”

ANGER IS DANGEROUS!

FRENZY MAY SPELL SUICIDE

A Chemical Poison te Created In the System When One indulges Ina Fit of Rage—Famous Men Who Have Died In a Moment of Passion.

Death frequently follows ° sudden fit of anger. Persons who are other- wise sensible and eveu philosophical indulge at times in this suicidal and protitless pastime. The Emperor Nerva died at the age of sixty-six from fever resulting from a fit of anger, Paui IIL, who occupied the papal throve from 1634 to 1549 and who was consid ered one of the most intelligent and liberal as well as just of popes, died from a sudden fit of anger while up braidiug Cardinal Alessandro Farnese who bad proved false to his friends and benefactor.

The emperor of Valentinian #hilk addressing a deputation of backsliding Germans allowed his angry emotions to get the upper hand of his commor seuse and fell dead ere he had fuished speaking. The celebrated English sur geon John Hunter indulged in angry dispute with one of his colleagues at St. George's hospital and dropped dead at the feet of him who had been the cause of the resentful and bitter re marks. The Russian surgeon Badda- woski, being angered at the awkward. news of an assistant during a surgical operation, gave free vent to a fii of anger and expired without a moment's warning.

The milk as well as the flesh of aul mals that have died while in a rage has been found upon analysis to con-

ously i) by nursing at the mother’ breast immediately after that tothe bad indulged in a fit of frenzy ur an ger. Neither the chemist nor bacteri Ologist has yet been able to demon Gtrate the particular poison or germ that renders the milk toxic under the conditions, but that a poison and » very active and energetic one exists ty unquestionable,

Death during a Ot of anger may be produced by a toxic product developed by the undue excitement as much as to the play of the emotions upon the herve centers of the heart. Little chil dren should be taught in eartiest tn fancy to control their angry passions. A parent amiling approvingly at what be is pleased to term the “spunkiness” of bis offepring without making any effort to reprove or to correct the out- burst of Ill temper ts guilty of wanton heglect and is storing up much un- Pleasantness for both himself and the ebild in future,

“Anger is a stone cast Into a wasp's nest,” reads the Malabar proverb, and how often the angry word satire up strife and discord and contentions that keep up a continual unpleasant buss ing until, Ike wasps disturbed to their nests, they alight upon the disturber, bringing a sting that wounds his own personality,

“Te slow to wrath” might be a cher fahed guide at any and every period of life. But as years run their course, particularly if accompanied by a fee ble condition of body, a conscious tend- ency to fits of anger abould induce habits of strenuous self control, This control, however, is not acquired tn a day. The imprisoned fre of anger but walts for the kindling breath of provocation, and each time It is con- fronted by the latter a calm exterior, even though the apirit be at white beat, will win a victory without either party to the strife being a loser,

A bright three-yearold child who was given to passionate outbursts of resentful anger each time her wishes were thwarted was one morning sud- denly lifted to the mirror with the mother’s admonition, “Look at your self!” Immediately the child's resent ful face changed, and, nestling to her mother, who wisely refrained from saying another word regarding the ebullition of temper, she, with an apol- ogetic hug, softly sobbed away the re- sentment,

Some weeks afterward, during which time there was a marked change for the better In the temperament of the ebild, the mother had occasion to re prove the little one for an act of dis obedience, using perhaps unnecessary warmth of temper at the time, With out hesitation the little one seized her by the hand and took her to the mirror,

“'Ook at ‘orself!" she exclaimed, her childish voice as severe as her strength permitted, at the same time struggling Gesperately to keep the angry lines from her own tiny face by puckering her lips into a form from which lasued & succession of soft, nonchalant oos,

The lesson had been taught, learned and retaught, and who shall say how far reaching its influence? If one cau only be brought to understand the toxic effect of anger upon the whole senso- ‘rial system of the individual, resulting, as it frequently does, in sickness and even death, each would be more at peace with his neighbor, with the com munity and with the world at large.-- Marion Alnaworth White in Chicagu Tribune,

IN A FIELD OF KALE.

ches the plants have when given plenty of room. It is very much like rape, but the plants are much tall- er, and the leaves ate ny broader. It is claimed that kale will jeld thirty to forty tons of green ood per acre when grown under fav- orable conditions.

Kale is used for table green, but ite chief use on the Pacific const is for feeding green to dairy cows from Octo- ber to April, for which it is highly

prized. If the wth is forced in the early spring, it ean be fed much cottler than Oct. 1, Kale would prob-

ably be an excellent winter feed also for hogs and poultry. It does best on well manured, deep, rich loams and sandy soils, The only objection to the use of kale is the difficulty of get ting it out of the field when the ground is wet and muddy, For this reason well drained land should be selected upon which to plant this om,

Yhere the weather in quite cold kale ia not sufficiently hardy to stand out during the winter, and its use as a eciling crop would be limited to the fall,

OWLS AS PETS.

“They have been brought up in com- pany with several other bird peta. magpies, jackdawa and hawka, ar when quite young it was an exceed. ingly pretty sight to see them all to- gether on a perch, the owls watehin the proceedings of the Hane an magpies with an air of absorbing in- terest.

Sometimes a “jack” would fly up to the perch and give one of the tawnies a friendly dig with his beak,—as though he wanted to say» Wake up, old fellow!"

Whereupon the owl would proseed with great gravity to comb the dix turber's plumage with beak and claw, occasionally pausing during the opera- tion to survey his work out of a half- open eye, “jack,” the while, winking at his mates below with the air of “It's all right; it pleases the old duffer.”

Barn owls, also, I have domesticat-

Despite ite innocent looks and small sine it ln an object of terror to all im sects, for it has the qualities of fy paper, and sbould any guileless insect stop upon its aticky leaves it could bever get away, because the leaves have a sticky substance upon them which retains the insect. As every in- sect passes this plant ite inviting looks tempt the lasect to spend a few min ules of recreation upon its pretty leaves,

But, alas, it never leaves the surface of the leaves until it is absorbed by thia Oy catcher, when it goes to enrich the constitution of the plant. As the lonves are always covered with lnsecta, the plant flourishes into one of the most thrifty plants. This “insect cuteher” of Dame Nature would be a boon and a blessing to many house wives who are troubled with mosquk toes and files, for if a few of these plants were placed on a table in a room Infested with the above named insects the room would soon be free from these little pests, which are abundant during the warm weather,

A Great Atheletic Meet

What was undoubtedly the greatest

athletic meet, in all respects ever held in Canada, was that under the aus

pices of the Irish-Canadian Athletic club at the island, Toronto, Saturday The weather was favorable, crowd en- ormous and as enthusiastic as large, the competitions keenly contested and exciting, and three Canadian and one world’s records went by the board.

There were many features, but the feature of features was the Long- boat-Daley four-mile match, whieh | was easily won by the great Indian, John Flanagan's successful assault on the world’s sixteen-pound hammer. throw, the five-mile race and the Lin- den-Borhag two-mile match walking race were all stellar attractions, and interest in the program of events did not have a chance to lag. The in- ternational character of the compett- tions on account of the presence of) weveral members of the famous Irish-| American Athletic club, of New York, | lent added interest. |

Longboat made a show of John J. Daley, the renowned Irish runner, who | was leading Sherring by a quarter of | a mile in the Greek Marathon when | he sprained his ankle. Daley came! heral.ed as a great runner, and he is a great runner, but the swarthy Long-| boat never ran so impressive a race (as that of Saturday. He simply ran) jaway from Daley and forced the lat. |ter to quit, Longboat paced the first mile and set up a clip which dragged | Daley after him at a rate at which the Irishman could not continue, Da- ley made the goimy in the second mile, He was plainly distrewsed from trying jto hang to the Indian, and the latter) smiled confidently as pis fricnds cheer) led him on.

|Cupid and the Committee.

By CARROLL GORDON, Copyright, 1907, by P. ©. Eastment.

“Do you draw up rerolutions and things?” asked Kate Masters eagerly.

“No,” scorned Matic. “You send a committee to the boss and tell hin we won't work any more.”

“I'd rather write,” declared Grace Kelso. “I'd be seared to death to go in there and talk to him.”

“Writing isn’t half so good,” declared Matie. “You just tell him what the matter is and that we'll go on strike if Bromley isn't dismissed, and that’s all there is to it.”

“Ali,” repeated Kate. “I should think it would be enough, The idea of going tight in to Mr. Temple and telling bim that we're not going to work any more unless Bromley is sacked. I'd be so scared I couldn't speak.”

“I'm not afraid,” said Matie dis dainfally.

“I vote that we make Matie Lester a committee all by herself,” suggested Grace, and the motion was unanimous- ly carried without the formality of a seconding.

“No, you don’t,” erled Matic, “I'll do the talking, but we want a lot of girls for the committee. It has a good ef- fect.”

In the end a committee of five was appointed, and it waa agreed that the noon hour the next day would be the proper time for making the demand. Matie lay awake half the night think- ing what ehe should say, and her argu. ment was continued ia her dreams,

The room was all excitement the next morning, and as the noon hour ap- proached the excitement grew mory intense. Every girl in the room left her lunch untouched to accompany the committee on Its errand of protest and left them only at the beginning of the short hall at the end of which was Bdward Temple's office.

The departure of the escort seemed to have a bad effect on the others, for, as Matie rapped on the door and # deep voice responded, the other four girls right about faced as by common impulse and fed down the passage- way.

For a moment Matle watched them, diemayed, Then with a firm hand she turned the knob and entered the room In place of the gray haired man she expected to fod the room was tenant

“1 NEO YOUR PARDON,” 61% STAMMERED. od only by an alert young fellow, who

looked up proached,

“I beg your pardon,” she stammered “I thought that thie was Mr, Temple's room,”

“So it la,” he responded briskly, “and this Is Mr. Temple. Only it happens that my father did not come down this morning, Anything I can do for you? lam Frank Temple,”

“Ll don't know that you'll do,” she sald dublously, “You see, I'm a atrike ~ I mean a strike committee,” she cor- rected,

“A alogle committee is rather unusu- al,” he amiled, “Do I understand that you represent the factory?"

“The Onishing room,” she explained, “There were Ove of us, but the reat run away.”

“I see,” be sald gravely, though his eyes twinkled, “And may I ask the na- ture of the demands to be made?"

“Its that horrid Jim Bromley,” abe exclaimed, “We don't want more money or anything, but we want a new foreman, He's Just as mean as can be, Tie wouldn't have Bess Bradley's ma- celine fixed the other day, and when it broke down awd hurt ber hand he docked ber for the time she was away, He's always Suing us for every little thing, and he’s that mean”—

Matie’s pause spoke volumes, and her eyes added to the story, Temple grinned

“I shall have to look into this,” he sald, “Take a chalr, please.” He left her to herself, but presently he came back with another young man as clean cut as himself,

“Mr, Everett will look into the mat- ter,” sald Temple, “Just tell him about the mean Mr, Bromley.”

“Now you're laughing at me,” sald Matie indignantly,

“Par from it,” be denied. “Griev- ance committees should be treated most seriously,”

“And this ls serious,” she declared, turning to Kverett,. Her sense of wrong sustained gave her eloquence, and her eyes snapped as she recited a long tale of Bromiey’s wrongs, Byer ett listened attentively, though at times he and Temple exchanged sym pathetic glances as some quaint turn of speech caught thelr sense of humor,

“This is a matter that most certainly should be looked into,” he said, “I do not believe in fines except as a last resort, Suppose you help us get at the bottom of the trouble.”

“I'm telling you all about it now,”

cried, , “Il know,” he agreed, “but to get Bromley right we shall have to walt

made up several days ahead, and the foreman of each department takes out

the fines. Now, on Saturday make a |

note of all the fines, bring the envel- opes to me, and we will have the mat- ter straightened out.”

Matie looked him squarely In the eye, “Do you really mean that?’ she de manded,.

“Most certainly,” he assured.

“Shake hands on it,” she demanded. Everett blushed as his fingers closed over the smajler hand—and lingered there.

Matie went back to the room with a sense of importance. Word was pase ed along that it was all right and to meet on the corner after the factory

closed, There was a babel of voices as |

the plot was unfolded, and when at

last the Impromptu meeting adjourned |

Everett was lingering there. “Il saw the crowd forming,” he laughed as he fell into step beside

Matle, “and I waited to hear the out: |

come.”

She tucked ber hand through the proffered arm, and together they went down the street.

The next night Everett was waiting again, and so on rotll Saturday, when at the noon hour ™ue girls were pmid off. There were the usual heavy fines marked on the envelopes, and Mat formed a line and marched off to the office. Bromley had already turned back to the cashier the fines be had collected, bot a rapid showed that the envelopes and the statement to the cashier developed a discrepancy of more than $10. The foreman had been detained In the of- fice on a pretext, and when he left the building it was in company with a biue coated official, and the girls lin- gered on the corner to hold a jubilee over the downfall of their enemy.

“Who's going to be cashier now?" demanded one of the celebrants, Matie

grew red. “I'm to be In charge for a little while,” she sald. “Mr, Everett ar

ranged that last night.”

“That's too bad,” sald one of the girls,

“Why, hotly,

“We won't have any one to speak for ua when we want to go on strike againet you.”

“That's #0,” laughed one og the oth- ers. “All the other girls on the com- mittee ran away,”

“1 guess I shall not be in charge long enough for you to get sore on me,” eald Matic importantly. “I'm to be married in a month.”

This was news indeed, and the girls crowded eagerly about her, For a mo ment she fought off their questioning, but at last she faced them defantly,

“I'm going to be married to Mr. By- erett, if you have to know,” she sald,

“That's what you get for being on the committee,” sald one of them en- viously,

“Well,” reminded Matle, “there's four of you that can't aay you didn’t have a chance, and I don't mind telling you that I'm glad you didn’t take it. Jim Everett is worth interviewing the president himeelf for,”

Get Lightweight Hats.

Never buy a heavy hat if it is posal. ble to get a light one, Insist that hats if made for you are made with the minimum of weight. Heavy hats cause headaches, gray and falling hair by impeding the circulation. A heavy hat worn only two or three hours a day ts responsible for the feeling of heaviness that attacks so many and that disap- pears as soon as the cause is removed or within half an hour afterward. It is well tc have hats differing in their point of pressure on the head so that in changing from ove chapeau to an- other the head may be rested, in sec- tions at least,

It was Mrs. Lothrop who first per- ceived the assistance which would be derived for the furthering of the ele- vating spirit of love of country by the establishing of a society to be com- posed entirely of Juveniles, With her

founder and first president,

Aa a correction for the tendency or the danger of spoiling American ehil- dren Mra, Lothrop once published tn a symposium the following suggestions:

“Firet.—The old fashioned respect for parents and for God should be re vived,

“Second.—There should be an amend nent Introduced to the resolution that appears to have been adopted largely that the Sabbath was made for man

“Third.-That tl doing should be ex- ecrated and punished,

“Fourth, That American children should always bear from American cit fzeve expressions of loyalty to their country, which their lives bear out

Living and Dining Room tn One,

If any ove chooses to have hia tiv. fog room and bia dining room tn one, he bas only to make up bie mind to It ond then look about to see how it may be done without first showing elegance and comfort to the door,

The only absolute requisites for such an arrangement are a large room and proalmity to the kitchen, There must be room enough to leave the Beld clear for setting the table, and thia there never will be If there is room for only one table, which must serve the family for all Ite needa.

Such is (he unconscious perveralty of huinan uature that so sure aa there le but one table the children will get thelr books or their toya on It or the husband will get out bis writing or Spread out a map for reference as near €4 possible to the dinner hour, | The best plan probably ls to have either a table reserved exclusively for eating from or else a table that is only a table while it ls wanted,

In one house ls a table twelve feet, perhaps fifteen feet, long. And this offers a spacious field for all house- hold forces, It la modeled after the Jacobean design, The cloth often Is laid at one end of it and dinner served | without obliging thors who have been

working along its generous length to strike their tents and retreat with bag

and baggage or scup and scuppage,

| This however, scarcely might be a good thing to do as an everyday thing, One advantage in having a dining room separate from the ving room is that the household gets variety and unbends from the too stiff stretched cord of dally work, But in this par ticular ivstance the big room in which ‘the table stood was little used during the duy and only at night became the great center of the family gathering, Certainly it was a pleasant rallying ground and the scene of much hos pitable Intercourse and cheer,—Wash togton Btar,

Wash Lace In Milk.

An almost infallible method of cleansing lace which has been much stained through age or other causes, says a writer in Good Housekeeping, is to stew it In milk. Place the lace In & jar and cover with milk. Then set the jar in a saucepan of water, after the manner of cooking beef tea, An hour or two are usually sufficient. The water In the saucepan will boil, but not so the milk. By allowing the milk to boll the stains would be more firmly fixed than ever, The writer tells of an old plece of brussels which had been lying on a fan for twenty years and Was marked with brown stripes. All ordinary treatment had failed to remove the stains, but the lace came out of the hot milk treatment as white os snow and entirely uninjured.

Canned Foods.

Bright colors should be regarded as a flag of danger in the selection of canned foods, for they invariably tndl- cate artificlal coloring. A bright green color, such as is seen in canned peas and beans, indicates the presence of copper or iron. The brilliant red of eatchup and canned tomatoes and fruits usually comes from aniline dye. A bright yellow, such as ts found tn mustard, extract of lemon and noodles,

is also aniline in its origin as a general | thing. The abnormally white color of

canned corn and other foods Indicates

Look Out for Wild Cat Mining Investments

Legitimate Mining Companies selling Treasury Stock for development purposes will not want you to wire your money. They encourage investigation. Fortunes are still to be made.

We do not believe that three or four cents represent adequate compensation for the work of any doltar for a full calendar year, even if it is guaranteed by a Savings Bank, a Trust Company or a Gov- ernment Bond,

Why should the masses, whose Investments and deposits in Banks and Trust Compantes alone make great enterprises possible, be deprived of the benefit of legitimate profits earned by these same investments and deposits?

The man of small mental capacity jumps to the conclusion that there is something wrong wherever he sees a large advertisement of the sale of Treasury Stock in any corporation. This Is neither fair to himself nor to those who do him the courtesy of inviting his attention. In excuse for his own Inability to think, he becomes a knocker and a croaker, ffetting in his own little world, enviouw and jealous of those who, by their judgment, foresight and courage, have grasped these selfsame opportunities, leaving hira by the wayside with the old etory still on his lips: “Luck never comes my way,” Of course, luck never came his way and never will, Luck means nothing else but trustl in one’s own resources—one’s ability to think out and decide for one’s self. Successful men spell luck with a big capital “P,” which epells “Pluck.”

Wo rely on our vigor, ability, prestige, methods and erganization to sell any company stocks that we offer to the public. We have never asked immunity for any company’s stock we have sold, and fear neither public discussion nor legitimate and constructive criticism. We expect any pro- positions or enterprises we offer to be discussed and criticized with unsparingness equal to that which we mete out to others,

Why Do We Advertise so Heavily?

Raliroads advertise; banks solicit funde and ask you to open your accounts with them; the strongest organizations bring to their ald the people and money—all for the same purpose: to Increase thelr capital, to more fully perfect the industry, thereby increasing the profits. It is only through the combined thought, energy and capital of many that great resuits are possible,

The reason we offer stock to the general pubilc.is for the same reason that the United States Government distributes Its Bond Issue among as many people as possible. It has been found more profitable to have a large number of persons giving their influence to an enterprise rather than con- fining it to @ monopolistic few. We want the interest of a number of shareholders; hence thie oppor- tunity to buy stock,

if you do not want to take advantage of this rtunity, it id ir privilege; but we can say In all confi that the mistake will be yours, and a eerfous one, We are directing yourattention to @ safe and legitimate investmert, and if you fall to take advantage it is not our fault. Blame yourself and put it down on your list of regrets, We extend @ cordial invitation to everyone anxious to make money to write us.

Don't think we are philanthropists. We are not in business for love. We are not doing you oharity. ‘@ are not giving money away. We are paid as Fiscal Agente by companies we represent, and pald well, as our services come high—because we furnish the energy, ability and experience in handling corporation matters, The biggest banking houses In the world are paid in the same way, whether they are selling Japan or Russian Bond Issues, or Raliroad Stocks and Bonds.

Many persone who have followed our advice have retained their original holdings with their ort- ginal faith, and from time to time have added to both. Their confidence has not been shaken, because they felt that it had not tn the beginning been misplaced,

Those who have followed our advice before and bought stocks that we had recommended, have thanked us over and over again, and you will be doing the same.

We are asking investors to join use in an enterprise that we know now posltively will be success- ful. You do yourself an injustice if you are unfaithful to the degree that you do not take advantage of legitimate opportunities that come within your notice, and which can serve you to profitable advantage provided yeu give them proper consideration,

We cordially invite all investors in Cobait te fully Investigate our proposition, We are chartered under Ontario law, Serutinise our list of Directors, Compare our low capitalizations with that of other companies, Inspect the last official assay of the valuos—4,576 oz, silver to the ton—that equale $2,742.60 cash. In fact, take every concelvable precaution before Investing. And then be doubly suro— invest under our absolute 30-day guarantee and on our four-payment plan.

1t ie our business to seek profitable Investments for money savers. We can do no more for you than find the most desirable properties for such Investments, We apend the necessary money in the employment of competent Mining Engineers, Experts and Lawyers conversant with Mining Law to ex- amine propositions and properties until we find one where the conditions are favorable to the Investor. You get the benefit of our experience and judgment, backed by the experience and judgment of other capable men who have given thelr lives to the business of mining.

Do you know what the mining business le and what enormous profite the industry has produced during the last four years? Do you know about Cobalt and the almost unbelieveable fortunes it has made for many men? Read the following facts and figures, and remember the possibilities of Cobalt have only just begun to develop,

According to a recent tabulation by the “Mining World,” 166 Mining Companies paid during 1906 dividends to the enormous figure of one hundred and five million one hundred and ninety-seven thousand seven hundred and fifty-five dollars ($105,197,765.00) of a total of five hundred and seventy-four million six hundred and ninety-two thousand nine hundred and seventy-one dollars ($674,692,9T1.00) since their incorporation, This does not Include the profit earned by thousands of corporations and individuals owning mining properties who do not make public reports, Who receive these dividends? Certainly not those that passed up the opportunity.

In 1871, Calumet and Hecla stock was peddled around at 60 cents on the dollar and was even traded for supplies; these same hares are now selling at $1,000.00 each, with plenty of eager buyers, and that since 1871 this concern pald dividends amounting to over ninety-nine millions of dollars ($99,- 000,000.00), This mine te certainly a star, and @ bright one, but it is only ONE. There are others, and many of them that with developing, will prove as good. Even as half #o good should satiety you,

When a Mining Company oan earn and pay its stockholders in profite in the course of a short period of time several times its capital stock and still have ore reserves sufficient to permit ite continued operation for many, many years to come, it ls @ substantial argument in favor of mining Investments,
