Great Fault of the West.
 .    _ _ ., \
Toronto, Nov~ll7="It_is-casy to
throw our caps 111 the air and piate
about the resources and bouudlessnes-
of the west, but let us face thc situation and realize that there is a tide of
evil sweeping over its giassy plains."
t Thib is fiom the Rev. Piof. Kilpatrick, speaking on "Home Missions in
the West," before lust night's public
meeting of Kno _ College Students
Missionary ,Society. He stai ted by a
sympathetic, and graphic account of
the hatdships and solid manliness of
young missionaries laboiing unaided
on the cheerless stretches west of thc
great lakes.
"The opening up of the west has
been of immense- muteii il moment to
us," said Dr. Kilpatiick. "That is a
debt the east owes to the w est. Every
one on its fertile track is after biead
and wealth. Here exists the danger
of rank matei lahsm and of the setting
up of a new standaid of success and
endeavor. What is the great fault of
the west?" interrogated Dr. Kilpatrick.
"Many will hay it is stiong drink, but
is not that more etiect than cause, and
incidental to certain races and conditions? Believe me, tbe most threatening danger is want of truth and reliability. Our people are doomed as
surely as were thoso of Babylon and
Venice, unless the p.ission for righteousness inflames their hearts."

1\ ���������>  -  1  ���������  t  ���������  -  A WESTERN    !  IOCHINYAR !  such  a     matter  spect���������was    one.  sionnl  gambler,  not always    be  In 1SSO New Mexico was the paradise of desperadoes, and the only  respected authority was the C.olt'a  45-calibre .single action revolver.  Kvery man carried a' least one of  these deadly weapons, and when ho  rode supplemented it with a Winchester repeating rillo in a holster  snapped to Uio saddle under his left  leg.  Pitched battles leiwcen the cowboys fron'. the plains a. >l the Mexicans wore frequent, and in the. settlements men quarrelled and fought  on the frailest pretext. Many a  young fellow, after braving the terrors of the arid desert and escaping  thc marauding bands of Apaches on  the plains, reached the pine-covered  slopes ot the foothills only to find  dealh in a tavern brawl. No man  who wus not "quick on tho shoot"  ���������to use a local idiom���������was a good  invest merit for an insurance! company, however sound his constitution.  At this time Hilly thc Kid���������a  young fiend who at twenty-one had  already murdered a man for every  year he hnd lived, and created such  a reign of terror that men spoke  his name in a whisper���������was at the  height of his career of crime. and  other "bad men" were as plentiful  as bucking bronchos. Naturally, in  such times, it was easy to acquire  the reputation of being a "bad  mad," nnd many did so without  quite deserving it.  Of these, Pan Uovis -familiarly  known as "Thc Bandy," in consequence of a fastidious attention to  his appearance in a region where  received scant re-  He was a profos-  a term which must  deemed synonymous  with card-sharper. Deft manipulation of the cards in dealing was a  form of cheating recognized and  practised by all the community, and  even in self-defence Dan would have  been obliged to make uso of it, but  he never resorted to such tricks as  marking or hiding cards. Moreover, he was not a "pigeon" pluck-  er, and it is recorded of liim that  on one occasion, finding his opponent greatly his inferior in skill, hc  handed back hi.s winnings and got  up from the table with tho remark  that "he did not take pupils."  For the rest, he was a good-looking fellow of about thirty years of  age, a fine rider, a dead shot with  any weapon, and possessed of an  even temperament which enabled  him to accept good or bad fortune  with  smiling indifference.  Thus, when, on the occasion of his  fourth visit to Deep Hollow, hc  was conducted to the entrance of  the -settlement by a band of the  loading inhabitants, and dismissed  with the emphatic intimation that  "if he showed up again he would lie  hung," ho merely shrugged rhis  shoulders, smiled pleasantly, nnd  without a word of protest mounted  hi.s horso and rode leisurely up tlic  trail  in  tho direction of Santa  Fe.  His stay had lasted five days only,  yet in that t%ic ho had finnnciallv  crippled many of thc community.  The climax came when one of the  greatest .uflerors, an-infiii-iit ial man,  so far forgot himsolf a.s to call the  gambler a cheat, which resulted in  his being crippled in*a more unpleasant way. But for thc fact 1hnt the  accuser was also palpably cheating,  and thai he wns in no danger of  dying of his hurt, Dan would have  swung then and there: bul. in the  circumstance.';.        banishment was  deemed sufficient, although the verdict  was by no means unanimous.  It was about a week aftor this  event that Miss Virginia West marie  two important discoveries, the first  of which may be plainly stated,  while ihe second must be sought for  in  lh>;  course  of the  story.   ".Jinny"  kept  house  for    her..stepfather and  only relative, who was the proprietor of the principal saloon in Deep  Hollow, and wa.s generally known a.s  "Had   Ilrown."   thi.s   being  all      that  remained of hi.s full baptismal name,  William Baden Urown. Miss Jinny  wa.s eighteen years of ago. and the  acknowledged���������hy the male population���������belle  of  tho township.  The saloon was a  one-storey building   of     rough     plno     logs,   with    -a  "Pretty soon now, I reckon," was  the reply. "Somo cf the boys aro  goin' to hide a little way up tho  trail, wait till he passes, and follow  him in. Then they'll close up and  nail him as soon as he crosses the  boundary, an' to-morrow morning  ho'll  swing."  There was a short siloncc, and  then, in a different tone, Ihu younger  man, Lupas,  remarked:���������  "You ain't said anything to Jinny  about���������nbout me, I s'pose'?"  "No," replied Urown; "it won't  do to rush  things."  This was untrue, for the -speaker  had already sounded the young lady  anent the question of her becoming  Mrs. Lupas, and had met with an  emphatic negative. Hut he. dared  not, divulge this, for lie was in the  unwelcome suitor's  power.  "Well, that's your look-out; but  1 ain't goin' lo wait much, longer,"  was the threatening retort. "You're  com in* to seo tho fun, I guess?"'  "Yes; Jinny'il take charge."  On hearing this that young lndy  slipped away from the door, and  when she appeared in response to  Urown's call her faco showed no  trace of the emotions which ihe foregoing conversation had aroused, but  under her calm exterior rage, *-hame,  and disgust struggled with another  feeling wliich she did not attempt to  analyze.  The plot was as plain ns vile.  Lupas and her stepfather hail forged  a letter in her namo to Uevis, as a  rosuit of which tho latter was coming to hia death. Shc knew us well  ns they that once in Dcop Hollow���������  on no matter what pretext or errand���������the gambler was doomed, for  tho former .sentence of exile had by  no moans satisfied a large number of  tin t-immunity. And she���������she had  boon used for this. Her cheeks  burned at tho thought, and then  paled again as sho rellected that it  wa.s now too late to warn the victim.  "Perhaps he won't come after nil,"  she murmured; but somehow, so  strangely are women constituted,  this possibility brought no sense of  comfort to her mind.  A light stop outside broke in upon  her reflections, and she looked up to  find the subject of thcm standing in  the opon doorway. For one moment  he stood    there, hat    in hand,     and  then   "Jinny!" ho cried, and stepped  forward with outstretched arms. The  girl  shrank back.  "How do you do, Mr. Uevis?" sho  said, coldly. Then, remembering hi.s  danger, sho cried, "Why are you  here? You must go���������go at onco; do  you hear?"  Ban gazed at her in amazement,  the brig-htness dying out of his face.  "I can't follow suit," ho said,  slowly; "I haven't the cards. You  ask why I'm here; well, that's  why."  Ife took a shoot of papor from his  breast and laid it on tho counter.  She snatched it up and rend, "Why  did you go away without ix word?  Don't you care? If you do, como  and  take me away.���������Jinny." ^  "And you believed it?" sho cried?  sharply, hei* face flushed and her  breast heaving with anger. "You  could think mo capable of writing  that  to   any  man,   above  all   to   one  who   novel "  She stopped, for. although Uevis  had never spok?n of love to hor, she  hud known���������as a woman always  does���������that he cared. And if she  had not, his eyes would have told  her   now.  " Forgive mo; I should have  known." he said, gently. "J���������r am  afraid I'm very'conceited. Of course,  you  couldn't caro  for ine?"  This was tx question, and tho girl  turned a flushed hut rather scornful  face upon tho speaker, and replied,  coldly:���������  "You arc forgetting your position,  .Afr. Uevis. This letter has beon  forged for the purpose of entrapping  you. Every momont that you waste  here brings death  nearei."  Tho gambler looked at her steadily  for a moment, and her oyos dropped  before his. There was something  new about him which "-he could not  fathom. an     earnestness     she     had  in tho sneering tones  of Lupas,  who  understood the allusion.  "True, I'vo lost," replied tho  gambler, and this time only Jinny  knew tho fulness of his meaning.  Then, with a sudden change to his  old audacious gaiety,  ho added:���������  "Come, boys, line up. I've still  some of your money left, and my  old friend ' Brown will bo delighted  to  'set  ui)'  the drinks."  That the offer was accepted with  alacrity did not astonish the maker  of it in the least; it was quite in  keeping with the customs of time  and locality. Thoso men were perfectly willing to drink with him in  a friendly spirit, yet they would as  certainly hnng him in the niorning.  The drinks duly consumed, some  of the prisoner's form or victims proposed a game of cards, and as there  was no possible chance of liis escaping irom lho crowded saloon the  game  began.  I'll play you for your horso.  Douce, if you like, Dan; you won't  requite him again," said Lupas "l  always wanted him,'"  j "You'll havo to treat wilh Miss  West, then: I've already presented  hiir- to her," said Uevis, with a  smile nnrl  a bow to the girl.  The words were spoken loudly,  and iho girl looked up to find Lupas  watching her narrowly. For a moment she hesitated and then she  said:���������  "I shouldn't think of parting with  him; he's the best animal for twenty  miles  round."  Her voico was cold, matter-of-fact,  without a trace of emotion, and acted like a douche of icewater on  Uevis. Though she had accepted his  impromptu gift, it was apparently  only for the value of it. He noticed,  too, that she never looked at him,  and wiih a sigh devoted himself to  thc task of winning money he would  never have tho chance to  spend.  On his rival, howeyeV, the words  had the opposite effect. He was satisfied that the girl cared nothing for  Dan, und he was so clutjd with 1 iio  success of his plans that he even  lost hi.s -money without his temper  following, wliich 'wus deemed a miracle.  late. A sharp click told that Jinny's liands had not encircled him  uselessly, and the rope w*as severed.  At the same time sho released him  and stepped back a. pace. Life was  vory sweet now, and Dan did not  hesitate.  i'ivo bounds and he was astride  his liorse,.and a moment later- his  strong arms had lifted Jinny up in  front of -him. The spectators, paralyzed by the unexpectedness, of tho  event, only recovered theii* senses  when the horse���������bearing his doublo  burden with the utmost ease���������Was a  dozen  yards away.  Then Lupas, with a wild yell of  anger as .ho realized how he had  been tricked, sprang after them,  only to stumble headlong with a  bullet in his brain. It was his  friend Urown who had fired tho  shot in an attempt, ns hu afterwards  explained, to cripplo the fugitive's  mount. IJut as Urown was a notoriously neat shut, and thu dead man  was hardly in thc lino of firo, thero  were somo who  doubted.  Moreover, tlio innkeeper showed no  overwhelming desire to pursue tho  runaways. A.s for tho others, their  animosity against the gambler had  been to a large extent revived and  kept alivo by Lupus, and died with  him. Besides, as one rf them put  it, "Jinny's 'euchred' us all, nn she  deserves to havo him."  Late in tho* afternoon the minister  of a small, but lively, mining ramp  some thirty miles from Deep Hollow  earned a sum equal to half his yearly income by' the performance of a  simple ceremony, and Dan Uevis,  having escaped from ono noose, very  cheerfully .surrendered himself to another. As he himself put it, "Matrimony was his strong suit, and he  was going* his pile on  it."  TASTY  CATSUPS.  Tomato Catsup.���������Boil toitjatoes,  strain.

"I guess I'll stay," he said, slowly-  Jinny's pretty brows contracted,  and sho sufTorod a little gesture of  impatience   to  escape,   as  she  _oid:���������  "Mr.  Uo. is.

One unfamiliar wilh the  comic-opera aliiios-pherc invariably  introduccd even into tho most solemn functions by these .tough, citizens would have found it diflleult lo  iealizo thut a tragedy wus about to  take place.  The condemned man walked free  nnd unconcernedly to the place of  execution, chatting in a casual way  with those about to usher him into  eternity. The latter, red-shirlod,  brown cf skin, and jovial of manner  extended  a  like  friendliness.  One thing alone betrayed���������to the  initiated���������the fact that Dan was a  prisoner; ho was unarmed, while his  companions were all "heeled," as  thoy would havo expressed it. But  the" idea of escape did not enter the  prisoner's mind. Ho was not tired  of life, but he had made a big gamble and IosL; so, with the natural  philosophy of the perfect gamester,  he paid tlie stake, and long habit  made it just as easy to do thi.s with  a smiling  face as a sombre une.  Thc preparations were primitive; a  tree, a rope with a noose at one  end and half-a-dozen stalwart miners  ot the other. Dan had seen men die  in this way beforo, and he knew the  agony of it. Nevertheless, there was  a jest on his lips.  "You haven't got that gallows  built yet, and you need it badly," hc  remarked.  "Vie didn't expect you back so  soon or we'd have had it ready,"  wa.s the quick retort from one of  the crowd. And Dan laughed, for  he liked a good return, whether in  word or blow.  He watched while one of the men  climbed the tree to adjust the rope  over a stout branch, nnd laughed  with the plhers nt his clumsiness.  Then suddenly he fa"* the malignant  eyes of Lupas tauntingly fixed on  him, anil for thc first time ho experienced a feeling of revolt. I'or a  momont tho temptation to snatch  a_ pistol from the near st bystander,  shoot hi_"oncniy. and" make a dash  for freedom gripped him. 13ut. he  roinein-i-red that even if he succeeded  he had still lost, and with a bitter  smile at his own weakness he stepped  forward.  ISrrct' and wi'h unmoved features  he felt thc fatal loop lighten around  his throat. Then his indifference  vanished,   and  the  spectators    saw a  PASTOR WAS  CAUGHT.

Di- Hopkins happened to know  that most of the deacons in the  church had wine in their cellars,  and that they were all given to  "tippling on the quiet," and he  did not hesitate to denounce them  as rank hypocrites. The father of.  thc elderly lady- \. ho told tho story  was himself a 'deacon in the church,  and he had "a "powerful weakness"  for tlie beer that was brewed at a  small brewery in the neighborhood.

As soon as tho horse had.  resumed its oven trot down the road  the deacon ^said: -  .. ,  "Well, parson, you are discovered.  I saw you put something suspicious  under the seat "of -the -buggy, but I  promise not to tell on you if you  will   divide  with  mc."-  Ih.3 eminent divine turned upon  him a benignant smile, as he said:  "So you havo caught me practising  what I preach. I say it is a matter for each man's conscience. Now  I feel that I am juslilicd in getting  that jug from the brewery. I shall  not drink a drop of it.

"If your wifo drinks beer,  I am sure you will not toll _on mc.  Let ine have the jug whon we reach  yonder clump of trees, that will  screen us from view. I will show  you how much I can take from the  mouth of .a jug at one pull," and he  reached  for  the jug.  As scon as they reached the clump  of trees, the entire roao" being deserted, ho drew out thc cork, throw  back his head und made ready for a  "long, strong pull."

They were in the-funwlj. portrait  section of the gallery,-and it seemed  fo Miss Oolightly that her English  visitor wn.s deeply impressed.  "Yes, these aro till my ancestors,"  sho said, proudly. "Now this is my  great-gVoat-grnndfathor, when he was  a young man, of course. Isn't he  har.d.soine? My grandfather used to  tell my mother that hi.s grandfather  ���������that's thi.s one���������was a splendid-  looking man a.s long as he lived, an*l  as popular with-women as with men  becauso he was such a hero.  "Brave? I guess he wes! Why, he  never fought in a battle thnt he.  didn't lose an arm or a leg or .something from being right in front of  everybody! He was in tv.*eiity-thr__  engagements!"   i+   ���������Tho lighting .of gassy mines ���������' hasV  always been ono of the cliief problems set for scientists to solve. We-  are all. familiar with the so-called-  "safety" lamp, which* cuts off the-  flame by means of wire gauze. While-  this form of lamp has proved of  enormous value, and has diminished,  tho risk of accidents a thousandfold,,  yot it is by no means perfect, foi-  in a strong draught of air the flamo-  is sometimes blown through tho  gauze, and so communicated to tho-  surrounding inflammable gas. Another objection is that the gauzo-'  cuts off a large proportion of thought.  Electric lamps aro perfectly safe,  but their cost is against thcm. Professor Molisch proposes to obviato-  botli objections by a now discovery,  a bacteria lamp, which, he ,says,  is cheap, gives a powerful light, and  is so absolutely i free from danger*  that you might leave it in a powder-  barrel without thc least fear of causing an explosion."  USE BACTERIA FOR LIGHT.  The lamp consists of a glass  * Jar  in  which  a  lining of saltpetre     and  of  gelatine,   inoculated     with   a  certain    form    of bacteria,     is placed.  Within forty-eight hours after inoculation    the    jar becomes illuminated   '  with  a  wonderful  bluish-green  light,  which  continues  undimmed for about-  18 to  20 days,  and then slowly   diminishes in brightness. .  By its light  you can see anything within a radius  of seven  or eight feet,   and   even. -  read large print with ease.  He is a wonderful man, this Austrian professor. He recently demonstrated before a large class of  students that photographs can be  taken by means of tho light emitted -  by hard-boiled eggs which had been  inoculated with similar luminiferous-  germs. He also made a raw potato  so- brilliantly phosphorescent by a  germ culture that it^ was possiblo Iosco fair-sized type over which this  vegetable lamp was held.  Of tho oil which we burn in our .  lamps, no leas than ninety-seven  parts in'a hundred are wasted in tho-  form' of heat, only three por cent,  being available as light. It maybe easily imagined,- therefore, what a-  fortune awaits the inventor, of a.  form "of light which emits no heat  at all. Some, might imagine that-  this desired.,' goal had,been reached!  in electric light, but tho fact is that-  the electric ^ lamp -is, a, little less-  wasteful thaii the ordinary, oil lamp.  , .,   THE GL0\V-WORM'S'3GJ_dW.

Goneral von Trotha found himself  with 8,000 officers and men and sixty guns opposed to about ,15,000  Hereros, many of whom had rifles.  In August lid advanced in forco to  crush tho Hereros, who wore entrenched in the Watorborg district,  about 200 miles north of Windhoek,  but, aftor a severe battle resulting  in nearly 100 casualties to tho Germans, the Hereros,", aftor losing 1,-  400 of their men and thousands of  cattlo, .managed to 'disperse.

Ilendrik Withoi. tho Hottentot chief,  fought the Germans for more than  two years, yielding only on favorable terms, as tho natives wero  quick, to notice. Thero was a slight  trouble with the Horeros (who aro of  Kaffir blood) in 1890, and then  Germany settled down to peaceful  development with inadequate resources.  A ,SHORT-LIVED -REBELLION.  In November, 1903, the , Bondelz-  wart Hottentots blazed up in -insurrection .at Warmbad .in the. extreme south, the immediate causo being thc execution of a chief , by. a  German officer. ;"At"1 that* time ttiero"  wore only -800 soldiers in the whole  of this vast territory. Tho colonists  numbered about 3,500. A hastily-  organized column hurried'from Windhoek, in the -centro of tho colony,  and after three vcry anxious months  the rebellion was patched up. In  the meantime, in January, 1904, the  Horeros had taken advantage of the  absence of troops from tho centro of  thc colony, and roso in their turn,  starting thc real war, which is still  devastating the country. Massacres  and looting followed. Windhoek  was threatened. In February troops  from Germany began to pour into  thc country, but could malcb little  headway against the blacks.

Tho  story that a missionary of the Etho-  pian Church was the cause is believed here to bo incorrect. Tho outlaw  Weronga'-and tho Bondelzwarts (who  had been "pacified") joined Hendrik  Withoi, -and the situation in the  south became hopeless*'. By now the  Germans had 10,000 men in tho  field.

It hns more" than once been pointed  out that the true criterion of success  in the investment world is thc quality  of "stick-to-it-iveness"; in other words,  that in nine' cases but of' ten it is the  man with courage and perseverance  who wins, and the "quitter" who  loses. A majority of failures in business investments may be traced to tlie  fact that too many nieii expect too  much for too little. Thoy make an  "investment, and if it does not begin lo  pay large dividends-, within a few-  weeks or months', thcy throw up the  sponge and denounce the enterprise  and everybody connected with it in  unmeasured terms.  It   is because of   these   "squealers"  that the  impression has obtained that  a majority   of   business   and  mining  ventures   are   failures   and   that   the  losses are greater  than   the profits in  such   propositions, taking   them   as a  whole.  Nothing could be further from  the truth.    Take mining as an example:     One is so accustomed to hear  complaints from  those who have been  unsuccessful in their mining ventures  that it was long ago deemed unnecessary to refute the charge that mining  was a gamble.   As a matter of fact we  hear more about tlie losses than we do  the profits.     The investor who lakes  down  profits in liis mining venture is  the most satisfied person in the world,  for the  reason  that the dividend payments are usually large in comparison  ���������with the amount invested.    Thesp successful  investors do not, however, go  about advertising their gootl luck vvith  the aid of a brass band.    If they made  lhe welkin ring with  their rejoicings  at a ratio equal to those who have met  ���������with   failure,   the    uuiiniurings   and  "knockings''   of   the   latter would be  but a feeble echo in comparison.    Tlie  fact remains that tbe profits in mining  nnd in most business ventures  arc so  much greater than the losses that it  sounds childish  to hear people make  the   contention   that   more  money is  lost than is made in speculative ventures. :  The country is full of evidences of  successful speculations in mining and  other legitimate ventures. Throughput the west there are scores of men  ��������� *who have made their millions in mining operations; whe have made their  millions where thousands only have  been invested and expended. Tt may  be said without fear of successful contradiction that the fortunes distributed to fortunate and successful investors exceed, ten to one, the losses tbat  liave been sustained by those, who  through lack of judgment, experience  and stamina, have been overtaken by  failure,  ������������&a  IN THE  A million   Homes   antl   Business   Blocks   will   bc  erected in thc "Last Great West" in less than Five Yeais.  ���������""" '"������-���������������������������"  &ke Jfdair Manufacturing Company  V.eSI Compete for a Portion  of this  Easiness  To establish Manufacturing Plants thcy  Capital and are putting on the maiket  aie seeking  ability to undeist-ind that "all things  como to him who w.iils."

In February lhe iluept.it snow  storm fell lhat had fallen during the  wholo winter. Tho roads wero considered quito inipns.sublo by carriage-, and the family at Luckenough were blocked up in their old  house. Yet ono day, in tho midst of  .this "tremendous stato of alTairs,"  as tho commodore called it, a messenger from Denodict arrived at  Luckenough, the bearer of a letter to  Mrs. Waugh, which ho refused to inti ust to any other hands but that  lady's own. He was, ' therefore,  shown iuto the presenco of tho mistress, to whom he presented tho  note. Mrs. Waugh took it and looked at it with some curiosity���������it was  superscribed in a slight feminine  hand���������quite new to Henrietta; and  she opened it, and turned immediately to the signature���������Marian Mayfiold  ���������a strango name to her; she had  never seen or heard it beforo. Sho  lost no    more   time   in perusing the  - letter, but as she read, her cheek  flushed and paled���������her agitation bo-  enmo excessive, she wns obliged to  ring for a glass of water, and as  soon as she had swallowed it she  crushed and thrust the letter into  hcr bosom, ordered her mule to bo  saddled instantly, and her riding  pelisse and hood to be brought. lu  two hours and a half Henrietta  reached tho village, and alighted at  the little hotel. Of the landlord, who  came forth respectfully to meet her,  she demanded to be shown immc-  diatelv to the presenco of tho young  ladv who had recently arrived from  abroad. Tho host bowed, and inviting the lady to follow him, led the  way to the'little private parlor, tho  door of which he opened to let the  visitor--' pass in, and then bowing  again, he closed it and retired.  And Mrs. Waugh found herself in a  small, half-darkened room, where, reclining in an easy chair, sat���������Edith?  Was it Edith? Could it be Edith?  That fair phantom of a girl to whom  the black ringlets and black dress  alono seemed to givo outlino and  personality? Yes, it was Edith! But  oh! so changed! so wan and.transparent, with such blue shadows in  the hollows of her eyes and temples  and cheeks���������with such, heavy, heavy  eyelids, seemingly dragged down by  tho weight of their long, sleeping  lashes���������with such anguish in the gazo  - of the melting,  dark eyes!  "Edith," my love! My dearest  Edith!" said Mrs. Waugh, going -to  her.  Sho half arose, and sank speechless  into the kind arms opened to receive  her. Mrs. Waugh held her to her  besom a moment in silence, and then  said:  "Edith, my dear, I got a noto  from your friend, Miss Mayfiold, saying that you had returned, and wished to see me. But how is this, my  child? You have evidently heen * ill  ��������� vou are still. "Where is your husband. Edith? Edith, where is your  husband?"  A shiver that shook her whole  frame���������a choking, gasping sob, was  all thc answer she could mako.  - "Where is he. Edith? Ordered away  somewhere, upon some distant service? That is hard, but never  mind! Hope for tho best! You will  meet him again, dear? But where is  he.  then?"  She lifted up her poor head, and  uttering���������"Dead! dead!" dropped it  heavily again upon the kind, supporting bosom.  "You do not mean it! My dear,  vou do not mean it! You do not  know what you are saying! Dead!  great  trouble.  "Shot! shot!" whispered the poor  thing, in a tone so hollowT it seemed leverberating through. a   _yault.  And      then   her    stricken   head sank  heavily    down���������and   Henrietta     perceived" that   strength and consciousness had utterly departed. She placed  her  in   the  easy    chair   and     turned  iround to look for restoratives, when  t. door leading into an adjoining bed- j  room opened,  and a young girl     en- -  lered,  and  came  quietly  and  quickly  forward  to  the side of  thc   sufferer.  She   greeted     Mrs.     Waugh politely,  ind then    gave her undivided atten-  tlon'lo Edith, whose care she seemed ..  lully competent to undertake. I  This young girl was not over four- j  lecn years   of    age,     yet the     most '���������  beautiful and blooming creature, Mrs.  A'augh  thought,   that  she had     ever  icheld.  Her presence in thc room seemed  it once to dispel the gloom and  ilindow.  Sho took Edith's hand, and settled  aer more at ease in the chair���������but reused the cologne and the snl-am-  noniac that Mrs. Waugh produced,  laving, cheerfolly:  "Sho has not fainted, you perceive  ���������she breathes���������it is better to leave  >er to nature for a while���������too much  ittcntion worries hcr���������she is very  R*cak."

She  says that, her husband is dead, poor  child���������how camo it about? Tell ine!"  said Mrs.  Waugh,  in a low voice.  Marian's clear blue eyes tilled with  tears, but she dropped their while  lids and long black lushes over them  nnd would not lot them fall: ami her  ripo lips quivered, but she firmly  compressed thom, and remained silent for a moment. Then sho said, in  a   whisper:  "I will tell you by and by," and  she glanced nt Edith, to intimato  that tho story must not be rehearsed  in her presence, howover insonsiblo  sho might appear to he.  , "You aro tho young lady  wroto to me?"  "Yes, madam."  "You are a friend of my  girl's?"  "Something moro than that,  am���������I will tell you by and by,'  Marian, and her kind, dear eyes wero  again turned upon Edith, and observing the latter slightly move, sho said  in her pleasant voice:  .. "Edith, dear, shall I put you to  bed���������are you able to  walk?"  "Yes, yes," murmured tho suITorcr,  turning her head uneasily from side  to side.  Marian gavo hcr hand, and assisted  tho poor girl to rise, and tenderly  supported her as sho walked to the  bedroom.  Mrs. Waugh arose to givo her' assistance, but Marian shook her head  at hor, with a kindly look, that  seemed to say, "Do not startle her���������  she is used only to mo lately," and  bore her out of sight into tho bedroom.  Presently she renppcared in the  littlo parlor, opened the blinds, drew  back the curtains, and let tho sunlight into tho dark room. Then she  ordered more wood to tho fire, nnd  when it was replenished, and t^e servant had left tho room, she invited  Mrs. .Waugh to draw her chair to the  hearth, and then said:  "I am ready now, madam, to toll  you anything you wish to know���������indeed I had supposed that you were  acquainted with everything relating  to Edith's marriage, and its fatal  results."  "I-know, absolutely ' nothing but  what I have learned to-dnjr. Wc never  received a single letter, or message,  or news * of any -kind, or in any  shape, from Edith or her husband,  from tho day thcy loft until now."

It is incredible���������impossible���������how-  could it have happened? He never expected such a fate���������none of us did,  or we would never" have consented to  his return. There seemed no prospect of such a thing. How could  it  have  been?"  "There was treachery, and perhaps  perjury, too. He had an insidious  and unscrupulous enemy. who assumed the guise of repentance, and  candor, and friendship, the better to  luro him into his toils���������it was the  infamous CJolonel Thorg, who received thc command of the.regiment, in  reward for his'great services in America.

"I first becamo engaged in dairying  in 187(3, at which timo I purchased  a half-interest in a herd of grado  Shorthorn and natlvo cows writes  Mr. S. I-I. Clark. Aftor sovoral years  experience, I camo-'to tho conclusion  that tho incomo from this sourco was  not whut it should bo. In 188S, after studying many different breeds of  dairy catllo and visiting somo of tho  most successful dairymen in my stato  I purchased a pair of thoroughbred  Holstcins���������Angel {quo- No. 6848 and  the bull -General Hood No. 0-12-8.  Both wero imported animals from  good stock.  With this pair, I bocamo ��������� more interested in the business and studied  proper methods bf caringn for and  feeding thcm, and tho results woro  quito satisfactory from tho start. I  mado ono expensive mistake. I will  mention it for tho benolit of young  breeders who aro ambitious to suc-  cood. Tho first calf from Angeliquo  was a very fino heifer. 1 was very  proud of this animal and always  kept hor vory fat whilo growing.  This wns a serious mistake, ns she  later took on flesh instead of making milk, and I was obliged to soil  hor to tho butcher when she was only  four years old.  My first cross with a Ilol.stein siro  on tho Din-Hams was a vcr.v>greot improvement, whilo tho -second and  third crosses wero somewhat more  satisfactory. In comparing grades  with thoroughbreds tho bulance nearly always favored tlie latter. In  J 902 I disposed of all grades and  now have thoroughbreds only. I  became an early convert to the feeding value of corn silage and built the  fust silo in tho town of Peru in  1894. Previous to this time, 1  utilized such feed as I happened to  havo on the farm, with the addition  oi wheat middlings, and somo cottonseed meal. I _ found this feed too  expensive for proper milk production  Jn winter. The silage filled a long-  Xolt want by increasing tho milk  flew, as woll as keeping my cattle  in far better condition for less  money. All ambitious people have  cei tain difficulties to overcome- in  any line of business and this is certainly truo of dairymen who breed  Hcl steins.  Tho low percentage of butter fat  ns compared with Jerseys was an  argument always presented to me in  balancing figures. Tho question was  often asked' mer which is the most  profitable cow, .one,;-that gives '70  pounds of milk testing 3 p.c: butter*  fat, or- ono that" produces 30 pounds  of milk of, 4 p.c.^tiuttcr fat in. tho  same period, with "the same'care and  food. ,At one time, I purchased two  well-bred" Jerseys ������for the sake of  'comparison.' 'With' the'sarne care -and  feed, I found tho figures given above  practically true in this instance? I  had some difiiculty in disposing of  theso Jerseys to get my money back  after I was satislicd-'t'iat"tho -Hoi-  steins were more profitable for mo.  Jn feeding silage a good-sired cow  needs about 40 pounds per day in  two feeds, with from fivo to ton  pounds "of grain with a high percentage of protein. A cow should always have all the clover hay - shc  will cat up -clean. I deliver all my  milk to a bultur and cheese, factory,  ond havo received tho past 12 years  from 71 cents to .l.'IO'pcr 100 for  it  I think the most satisfactory way  to establish a dairy herd is to start  in a small way and grow up with the  business, becoming acquainted with  every individual cow. Start right  in the first place by securing as good  as can he found for foundation  .stock, then improve by the introduction of new hlood from high record cows and -stick to certain line-*  with thoso having an upward tendency for greater milk production.  Tho "dairyman must understand his  business and give personal attention  to care and feed. He must look after tho details every day and not  trust too much to the'hired man, be  ���������h'j-uv.r-so fait  The Gup Drawing Merits of  Ceylon Tea makes it the most satisfactory Tea In the world to use.

Pickle your pasture so the stock can  have succulent feed noxt winter when  the frost has killed the pumpkins.  Thero may bo an ubundancc of pasture now, but the silo is the only  thing that will give it to you noxt  wintor, or next August for that  matter. Aro you doing lho best you  can to provido suitable as well as  cheap food for your stock? Many  aro  not.   .  Ilay is good enough, is it? Good  hay is good; poor hay is good for  nothing, except as a monument, to  mark the spot where you lost a lot  of monoy. Good hay is necessary,  but it is not sufliciont. How would  you liko to livo 011 dry toast, prc-  digested sawdust breakfast food  without creani and water for six  months? You vould not stand for  the' kind of economy that cut out  ���������your supply of canned fruits, fresh  fruits, pickles and vegetables.  Tho silo is as necessary as tho  Mason fruit jar, or the refrigerator  fruit car. Silago is as much a necessity for slock as fresh monls and  vegetables aro for you. You cannot  buy pulatabilily in anything that is  very cheap. Silago has it at $2 per  ton. There is a pungent aroma and  a decided flavor to silago that makes  everything hungry thnt gots a whif  of it. To get returns from cows  or beef cattle, they must bo induced  to eat an abundance of feed. Silago  does the business. - It gives zest to  the appetite and aids in digesting  other  feeds.  In my opinion there never was a  better time than lho present for a  young 'dairy-nun of good business  ability and energy to embark in this  business. Thore is no more profitable  nnd popular breed of cattlo .than t.he  "black and whiles'' of to-day. No  young man .should think he can succeed because someone else has.

'-Tho "milk seems to. be' especially adapted .to-the calf. * Tako tho  calf away after-,'it is one day old.  For J. convenience in feeding uso a  shallow metal,-pail.

Gently place your  fingers-near 'the- pail and tho< calf  will tako them in its-'mouth. then  forco the head down into the pail,  A little patience will crown your efforts with success. Feed twice a  day at regular-hours and use wliolo  milk at first. After fourth day add  a littlo skim milk. Later add a lit-  tl-> moro at each feed and at the end  of ,15 days you 'will have your calf  on a full" feed of skim  milk.  Watch closely and-if nny bad , results come, lessen tho amount of  skim milk but gently increase again  later. Always use sweet milk ond  give tho calf a warm place to -stay.  After the calf is three months old  sour milk can be used. Let calves  have access to grass or feed .and  salt once every week. At five mouths  old thoy can bo weaned, by slacking  on milk and increasing in other feed  such as grass or sheaf oats and hay.  Ry this method the growth of tho  animal will be undisturbed.  In the long run, the most disagreeable truth i.s a safer companion than  tho -most-pleasant-falsehood.- ���������  LAYING A GHOST.  Rev.   John   Todd  Tells   of   a   Remarkable Case.  Now and then a circumstance' or  combination of       circumstances,  strango and: apparently inoxplicable.  criues to the world's notice. In'olden  times such phenomena wero almost  always attributed to a supernatural  power, and oven to-day there aro  many who retain tlio fear of ghosts.  lOxperienre and investigation have  demonstrated, hr.woVer, that there is  always some reasonable and natural  'solution to such mysteries. If the  j Hov. J.ohn Todd hurl not worked on  that principle, the residents of his  town might havo lived out their lives  in terror of a haunting spirit. Air.  Todd tolls tho story in his "Autobiography."  ln the village stood a houso whic'i  was said to bo haunted. It w-as ������  large, ��������� three-story building, wM  lighted and ventilated, and in 11  thickly settled neighborhood,, ths  last house one would hnve connected  with the idea of ghosts. The neighbors, however, were much oxcitol.  They hoard strango sounds proceeding from-the closed rooms: groans  and sighs and unearthly wails. Some  who had ventured to listen at tho  doors told of the pa/ltor of littlo foci  on tho baro floors.  "All is not right thero," they said.  "Strango secrets iio withon thoso  walls."  I had boon tho last ono to occupy  the house, and just beforo I had le.'t  it. I lost a little boy. Of course  the good peoplo did not suspect me  of ill-doing, but in some wny they  connected tho noises with the death  ot my son. This made mc more anxious to clear up the mystery.'  ; Ono day I got tho keys . of , tho  house anil mnde known my determination to - investigate. The neighbor.*!  gathered about, the gate, but would  'not enter'. 'A few/moments-satisfied  mn .'that the" little;fool which-patter-  ed about "were, thoso, of tho niimer^  ous rats.'

Tho room was perfectly baro, but  tho groans and moans repeated thcm-  selves,  now low,  now shrill.  I went to the chimney and*, tnro  nway the fire-board. Looking up fie.  flue, I, discovered a shingle whio'ii  had lodged half-way down and which  swung back and forward, now nlmoi-t  closing the chimney, now presenting  its edge to tho draft. Here was the  ghost.  With difficulty I persuaded the  neighbors to come in. I displayed  thn "haunt," and then I pulled it  down, and the groans ceased forever   1 .   KING-FINDS  HUSBANDS.

Just what this moans may  bo roalized in view of tho computation that thoro aro 818,979,564,000  ways-of playing tho first four moves  on each sido of tho board.  During the .Cambridge Springs  tournament Pillsbary took a hand  in a -gania at whist, and at tho samo  time played two games of chess and  two games of checkers, without  looking* at any one of tho four  boards. Mr. Pillsbury sat at the  whist table, with his back to tha  chess and checker, boards, and ths  moves of tho players thoreon wera  called out to him, and, without  interrupting,the whist gamo a 'moment, ho would call back tho namo  of his own piece, which ho wished  moved in reply, specifying on which  of tho 64 "squares lt -was to bo  placed. In this way he won tho  chess and checker games and holped  to win the game of whist.  DOES IT BLINDFOLDED.  Pillsbury performs theso blindfolded plays- seemingly with comparative ease. Ho ha's played  against ns many as 22 different ���������  boards at ono antl tho samo timo,  without seeing a single board, and  has won a largo majority of tho  games. Sealed with his back to tho  other players and constantly smoking a big cigar, ho is apparently  able to visualize and to remember  22 different pictures, in each of  which "32 chessmen- aro boing changed  about in dn indefinito variety of  combinations. At each of theso  boards sits an export chess-player  wilh every facully concentrated .on  his own game, caring nothing for  his neighbor's difficulties, bent on  baffling the memory of, the man "at  tho ond of tho room, whoso mind recurs to his particular game onco  only in 22 times.' , There is seldom  any hesitation on Mr. Pillsbury's '  part-in recalling the-picture--^pro-  sontetl 611 any givon. boar*d. -Tliere-'.-".  fered* calls tho number of >.the ' board "  and^thc moy;a;-mado ,_by ,the "J.playor  thereon, and 'instantly* tho,'. reply "  comes,b'ack from tho master.with a  request for the move on'.the next  board.' ' Before Pillsbury's "time ;tho  record for'Jilindfolded play*was 1.0,  games, played in two dnyst by _3uke-  tort' .In Chicago in. 19Q0 Pillsbury-  played 16 simultaneously blindfolded  games ' in 4 hours and 55 minutes,  winning 12, drawing 3, and losing 1.,  , pill.sdury:s system^-  Of  courso,     Mr.   Pillsbury  has     a  system for memorizing the     various  games.   -   By'courtesy, he  is allowed  ���������  tho first move on each board.   So he  resolves    the'    various     hoards   into  mental groups.^   Tn a 12jgamc circuit  ho would probably  group  boards  1,  4,* 7 and  10, together.    Boards 2,  5,  8 and 11 .would comprise the second-  group.,     Thus    ho would ��������� need  but  three    styles     of    openings     on  tho  twelve boards.     If the standard,    or  what aro considered  tho best replies -  were made  to     thoso    openings,    he  would    mako '   counter-replies     that.   -  would  carry him several  moves  into  each  game.       Aftor     that  he  would  probably    begin    to  sub-divide     his  gio*ips,     or,     if    a  player  tried     a  special  variation, he would individualize that board  and place it in     n *  class    by itself.       Thus,  eccentricity,  of play' at   .any board presents     rid   -  terrors for the blindfold master. Ha-,  ther -  does    ho .welcome  it,   since.it  gives    thoit particular board character of its own,.causing it to    stand  "otflniTHis memory.     After a   while;  each of the boards takes on a character of its own, and then he is compelled to  depend  upon  memory  puro  and simple,  but     that  is so  marvellous lhat it seldom  fails him.

American millionaires havo been  as thick as black-berries In London,  England, recently. Por lristanco  flvo multi-millionaires slept at  Claridgo's. Hotel recently. Practically tho wholo of tho first floor was  given over to theso American representatives of tho House of Manvnon.  The millionaires who inscribed their  names on the hotel rogistor wore:'  Mr. William Rockefeller, vice-president of tho Standard Oil .Company,  and railway magjinto, whoso fortuno  is estimnte'd at $100,000,000.  Mr. George Westinghouso, the inventor nnd proprietor of tho famous  Westinghouso air brake, who is  worth  ������50,000,000.  Mr. Georgo Jay Gould, banker and  railway  owner,   worth  $80,000,000.  Mr. Cornelius Vandcrbilt, railway  magnate and inventor," worth $10,-  000,000.  Mr. Harry Payne Whitney, banker  and  financier,  $10,000,000.  A very simple sum in addition  will demonstrate that tho elevator  boy at Claridgo's has enjoyed tho  novel sensation of hoisting a quintet of capitalists representing about  $250,000,000.  Though they occupied the entire  first floor tho members of this millionaire quintet, a word from  whom would shake the bourses of  tho world, led the simplest of lives  at Claridgo's. Tliey entertained little, had few visitors, and. paid few  calls. So exclusive, so terribly select, was this littlo cotorio of Crocs-  uses that except for a daily drive  in thc park and a little shopping  their days passed without event.  These millionaires made no attempt  at a lavish display. Apparently they  wont to tho othcr extreme and became adepts in the fine art of cutting down expenses. Tho wives of  these mighty millionaires passed  through tho stately corridors of  Claridgo's wearing tho plainest of  gowns, while the simplest of menus  were adopted by tho millionaires  themselves. Twico a day thoy met  at the. tablo d'hote. A simple littlo  dinner of a few courses was their  favorite meal���������clear soup, a sole, a  little game, and sweets. No American dishes were served. Little wino  was taken, Mr. Rockefeller's beverage being milk. ,  Conversation. at these meals was  limited.to discussions regarding the  weather. ��������� Never by any chance did  tliey touch  upon  the monoy market.   f   - TEETHING WITHOUT TEARS.  r Mothers - who- 'have .suffered- -the  misery of restless nights atAccthing  time, and watched .their babies * in  the unholped. agony" bf. that period,  will welcome'tho safe and certain relief, that Baby's Own-Tablets bring.

London  ���������for  Holds   the     Record  Costly. Sites.  For tho widening of Piccadilly tho  London County Council has boen for  some timo negotiating the purchase  of a strip of land"fronting Piccadilly  and St. James - street. The area,  which is of courso built upon, contains "about 1,200 square feet, and  the jprico.. agreed upon to be' paid is  over $200,000. This works out to  about���������$175-a-square - footr^or-lhe  enormous sum of nearly, $7,500,000  per acre. It probably constitutes a  record as tho hIghesE-priced spot on  earth, but as thc sum includes compensation for disturbance and damages, the purchase cannot be compared with the prices recently paid  for sites in the city.  Corhhill is the highest rented spot  ou - earth. _ A single room was let  hot long ago for between $10,000  and $15,000 a year. In tho west  end a small shop with basements  fetches over $5,000 a year in Bond  street, and the remainder "of tho  house lets at proportionate sums.  The rateable value of London is  about $200,000,000, of which sum  $90,000,000 is represented by * tho  value in sites.   ���������-  SHOULD LADIES MAKE LOVE?

Every attempt gave  me heart-burn and fillctf my stomach,  with gas. I got -thinner and thinner until I literally became a living  skeleton and in time was compelled  to keep' to my bed.  "A fow months ago I was persuaded to try Grape-Nuts food, and it  had such good effect from the very  beginning that I have kept up its  uso ever since. I was surprised at  the ease with which I digested it.  It proved to be just what I ^needed.

BANANAS produce a revenue after thc ninth month,and after twenty  months will pay $100 per acre profit.  COCOA will pav $100 per acre profit after the fifth year.  Thc supply of' both COCOA and BANANAS is not equal to the  demand, and will not be for many years to come.  Thcy are both staple articles of food, and in daily use, with the  demand increasing faster than the supply. ���������  Our managers have had over 20 years' experience in the growing and  marketing of both COCOA and BANANAS in the ISLAND OF  JAMAICA.
