"How did you know that?" Durgin asked, mystified by Garrison's swiftness of thinking. "I don't kuow anything. I'in trying to find out. How much eliel Hardy tell you of a former attempt on his life?"

Desperate for more Information, Harrison probed in every conceivable diree tion. lmt elicited nothing further of Importance, save that an old time friend of Hardy's, one Israel Snow, a resident of Rockdale, might perhaps be enabled to assist him Taking leave of Durgin, who offered hi- hum! und expressed Q deep lying hope that -something could be done to clear nil suspicion from hi-* brother. (lar rlsou returned to Rockdale. The news of a will mude recently, n will concerning which Dorothy knew Mnlhiug -this wus so utterly disconcert- ing thnt it quite overshadowed, fur ;i time, the equally important factor in tin ease supplied hy Durgin's tale concern ing this unknown Himm Cleave. Where the elews pointed now it was utterly impossible to know. If the fact should transpire that Dorothy did, iu fact, know something of the new will made by her uncle, or if Foster know, and no such will shoul 1 ever be produced, the aspect of the case would be dark indeed. Nut at nil convinced thut Theodore Rob iu SOU might not yet lie found ut the bottom of the mystery. Garrison wondered where the fellow had gone and what his departure might signify. Israel Snow was out of town. He would not. return till the morrow. Garrison 's third night was passed in the little hotel, and no word hail come from Dorothy, lie had writtea four letters to the Eighteenth Street address. He was worried by her silence. In the following day Mr, Snow returned. He proved to be a stooped old man, but he supplied a number of important facts. In the first place lie stated that Hiram Cleave had long since assumed another name which no one in Rockdale knew. No one was acquainted with his business or his whereabouts. The reason of the enmity between him and John Hardy went deep enough to satisfy the most exacting mind. Cleave, Hardy and Scott, the inventor, had been boys together, and, in young manhood, chums. Hardy had fallen iu love with Seott's sister, while he was still a young, romantic man. Cleave, developing an utterly malicious and unscrupulous nature, had deceived his friend Hardy, tried to despoil Miss Scott's very life, thereby ultimately causing her death, and Hardy had intervened only ia time to save her from utter shame and ruin. Then, having discovered Cleave guilty of a forgery, he had spared no etVort or expense till he landed the creature ia prison out in Indiana. Cleave had threatened his life at the time. He had long since been liberated. His malicious resentment had never been abated, and for thc past two or three years, with Miss Scott a sad, sweet niomory only, John Hardy had lived a lonely life, constantly moving to avoid Ins enemy. A friend of another friend of a third friend of Snow's, who might have moved away, had once hnd u photograph of Cleave. Old Snow promised to pro- «iiie it if possible aud deliver it over to Garrison, who mude eager offers to try tu get it for himself, but without avail. He promised to wait for the picture, and returned at last to his hotel. A telegram was waiting for him at the desk. He almost knew what he should find c rend: '' Please return at 01 little ind fled lading it. The message . Jeraldine. He paid off his bill, und posting a note au Israel Snow, giving "lure of J. Harrison. in Yuri, building where he had he caught the first train going arrived ut Manhattan ul Hire address, the New his oflice, down nnd CHAPTER XXVII. Like a Bolt From the Blue Delaying only long enough to deposit his suit-cane ut his lodgings, and neglecting the luncheon which he felt he could relish, Harrison posted oil" to Eighteenth Street with all possible huste. The house he found nt the number supplied by Dorothy wus uu obi time residence, with sky-scrapers looming nbout it. A pale woman met him nt the dour. "Mi: please? her." Root—is he said. ' Miss Hoot 1 'd like to see P- lu iid Dorothy ga behind thc desk- Garrison faced tho intruder, a tall, flaxen-haired, blue eyed man with a long mustache—a person with every mark of the gentleman upon him. "Well, sir," sain! Harrison, ia some indignation, "what can I do for you?" "We'll wait a minute aad see,"' said the stranger. "My name is Jerold Fairfax, and I came to claim my wife." Garrison almost staggered. It was like a bolt from the bluest sky, where naught but the Bun of glory had been visible. "Dorothy! What does he mean?" he said, turning at once to the girl. She sunk weakly to a chair and could not meet the question in his eyes. "Didn't you hear what I said?" demanded the visitor. "This is my wife and I 'd like to know whnt it means, you or somebody idse passing yourself off in my place.'' Garrison still looked at Dorothy. ' 'This isn 't true, what the mun is saying?" he inquired. She tried to look up. "I—T For give mo, please," she snid. "He'n— He followed me here " ' * i .ortaiuly I followed.'' Interrupted the stranger. "Why wouldn't 1 follow my wife.' Whut does this mean, all this stuff they've been printing in the papers' about some man passing as your husband?" He snatched out a newspaper abruntlv, und waved it in the uir. "And if you're the man," he added, turning to Garrison, " I 'II inform you right now " "Thut will do fur you," Garrison interrupted. "This lady has come to my office on a matter of business. My services to her have nothing to do with you or any of your claims. And let me impress upon you the fact that her affairs with me are private in character, and thut you are here uninvited." "The devil I am; unswered Fairfax, practically as cool as Garrison himself. "I'll inform you that a man needs no invitation from a stranger, lawyer, detective, or otherwise, to seek the presence of his wife. And now that I've found her I demand that .she come along with me! " Dorothy started to her feet and fled behind Garrison. "Please don't let him stay!" she said. "Don't let him touch me, please!" Garrison faced the intruder calmly. "I permit no one to issue orders in this oflice. either to me or my clients," he said. "Unless you are a far better man than I. you will do nothing to compel this lady to depart until she wishes to do so. Vou will oblige me by leaving my oflice. "I'll do nothing of the sort!" answered Fairfax. " Your bluff sounds big, but I'm here to call it, understand? Dorothy, I command you to come." "T will not go with such a man as you!" she cried in a sudden burst- of auger. "You left me shamefully, half au hour after we were married! You've been no husband to mel You have only come back because you heard there might he money! 1 never wish to see you again! " "Well, you're going to hear from me, now!" said Fairfax. "As for you, Mr. Garrison, assuming my name and " He was making a movement toward his coat pocket, throwing back his coat. "Drop that!" interrupted Garrison. He had drawn his revolver with a quickness that was startling. "Up with your hand!'' Fairfax halted his impulse. His hand hung oscillating at the edge of his coat. A ghastly pallor overspread his face. His eyes took on a look of supernatural brightness. His mouth dropped open. Tie crouched a trifle forward, staring fixedly at the table. His hand had fallen at his side. He began to whisper: "His brains are scattered everywhere, T see them—see them—everywhere—everywhere!" His hand came up before his eyes, the fingers spread like talons. He cried out brokenly, and, turning abruptlv, hastened through the hull. Dorothy had turned very white. She looked at Garrison almost wildly. (To be Continued) The final illustration shows u shallow box. having fnee.*** of glass both back and fruit.

Tin- box should be from four inches to on.- foot in depth, according to the size of the subjects thnt nre likely to be attempted. A- a rule the width should be such that the animal must re' main parallel Jo the faces of the glass. In using this contrivance, two points require notice. The surfaces nf the glass must not show reflections, aad the sides of the box must be so placed that they do not cast shadows. lu ull cases it is advisable to arrange the animals and thc stage work on one table and the camera on another, ft is well to dispense with the tripod ou these occasions, as it> use for this work proves somewhat clumsy.

MOTORING NOTES AVERY Important decision was made on Tuesday, Juno 14. hv the United States' Circuit Court of Appeals, when it declared dissolved the Injunction granted hv Judge Hazel, of Buffalo, to the Wright brothers restraining the Herrlng-CurtisB Company from manufacturing airships on the ground thnt the Ci.rti.-s machine i.s un infringe ment on the put ent .secured by the Wright brothers for airships on Mny 22, 1906. In rendering this decision the Court makes it possible, it is believed, to hold this year's international aviation meeting, which is scheduled to occur on TI pstead I'la ins. Ul., some time in October, without the paying of royalties to the Wright brothers. The Court declared thut the evidence taken was not sufficient to prove the contention of the Wrights that their patent was being infringed upon, and it vacated the bond of $10,000 which Curtiss was compelled to file in order to make exhibit ion flights after Judge Hazel's decision in Buffalo. Several weeks after the Wrights brought suit against Curtiss in the Buffalo court, a similar suit was instituted against Louis Paulhan, who was then in this country giving exhibitions. Judge Hand also issued a temporary injunction against Paulhan. Both cases were tuken on appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals. Clean II. Curtiss was enthusiastic over the outcome of his appeal, but he said that he expected such a decision al! the while. ''There couldn't have been any different outcome, in my mind," he said. '•The only thing that is absolutely new in the Wright patent is the method ot automatically turning a rudder when the wings are warped toward the side of least resistance to prevent the machine from turning around.'' Mr. Curtiss denied that he learned how to fly on a Wright machine. He said that he had constructed four machines at the Hamniondsport factory before the Wrights made any public flights. Tn commenting on the vacating of the bond, Curtiss said in part:. " Everyone wdio has ever operated a Curtiss machine declares that there is never any swerving occasioned by the movement of the ailerons, which was the principal contention made by the Wrights, who claimed that it became necessary for,an operator of mv machine to use the steering rudder in order to overcome this alleged turning tendency. According to the claims of the Wrights. the movement of the wing tips of their aeroplane fo% balancing causes the ma- ' chine to swerve from its course. Then, according to their statements, which are true as to their machine, it becomes necessary to turn the rudder to the side offering the least resistance, so as to bring the machine back to its course or to hold it there. The steering of their machine is done in practically tin1 same manner; accbrdfng to their claims. " lu my machine the balancing opera tion is entirely divorced from the steering operation. Tn balancing one aileron is raised to the same degree thut the other is pulled downward, the resistance on each side of the machine remaining the same. The rudder is never brought into play for any purpose except to guide the machine, .iust as the rudder of a boat is used. Incidentally, the rudder is turned to the side opposite to that ■whicli the Wrights have maintained it is necessary for it to be turned. It has been a case nf theory and suppositions pitted against facts, and the facts have been in our favor. Tf the Wrights had ever operated my machine they could never have made the claims that thev did." • • « Travelling or any other expenses accepted by an automobile driver iu the future will deprive him of an amateur rating by the Contest Board of the American Automobile Associatio.i, according to a ruling mude at the June meeting of that board in New York City.

T KING ALFONSO'S CHIN UK King of Spain, who wont to England for the funeral of King Edward, is twenty-four. His Majesty, who is original in all things, is said to hnvi* hud ;i hand in the manufacture of his face! This sounds a strange statement, but it came about in this way. When he was a very small boy, he" was found one day by his attendants standing in front of Velasquez's famous picture of Philip IV., of Spain, The young monarch looked long and earnestly at his ancestor's portrait, aud then said: "I will have a chin like that." From this instant he set himself the task of moulding Ilis chin with his hand into the true Bourbon shape with the result that today his likeness to Philip is singularly striking. King Al- phonso has a great liking for Kngland, and some years ago, when the outlook was very black in Barcelona and other parts oi' Spain, and lie was asked by a friend what he would do if he ever found it necessary to follow Napoleon I[T„ and other European sovereigns into exile, he replied, "I should at once go to England and purchase a farm in some country district, and try to forget there was such a place as Spain or any land thut was less peaceful than the one in which I found myself." CRIME IS EAEE IN JAPa-VN THE Japanese police have an ensici time than their confreres in Europe. Crime in the hind of tiie chrysanthemum is almost limited to theft and tragedies, or serious cases of bodily harm resulting from street brawls, it is next to impossible, the chief of the Tokio police says, for a murder to be committed without, someone hearing of it ut tin* moment, This is due to the fact that the houses are composed of paper and bamboo, so any noise in a house occasioned by robbers or assasins would not foil to attract the attention of neighbors. COMPOSED HYMN FOR HIS OWN WEDDING THE Earl of Kinnoull. who has sold Dupplin Castle, with land worth more than $50,000 a year, to Sir John Dewar, .M.P., is one. of the most thorough musical enthusiasts in ,the country. On the occasion of his marriage the hymn sung by the choii' ns the* bride and bridegroom entered the church, was greatly appreciated ou account of its high musical epuilities, and no little surprise was caused when it was found to be the bridegroom's own composition. The Countess eif Kinnoull wus a Miss "Mollie" Darell, and is regarded us ono of the finest non-professional violinists iu England. The Kinnoull family, despite their high pluce ill society, are descendants of ploughmen, and* once, when rendering warlike assistance to a Scottish king, the*y bore the yokes of their oxen upon their sturdy shoulders, nn incident, which hus beeu perpetuated in the family coat-of- arm 9. for the emigration of selected men and their .-families. This aspect of tlie question was raiseel at the conference, and it was pointed out that when 'men left their wives and children at home there was a real danger of the dependants being deserted altogether. By its being i**ueie possible for the whole family tee join the* head of the house soon ufter his start in the new country this eventuality is removed because of the* mun's obligations and the Government's hold upon him. Given an adequate central authority, there should be little dilficulty in carrying out the* scheme put forward by the Allan Liue, whose eighty-eight years' experience in the emigration business should of it self command consideration. Summed up, the plan i.s as follows: (1) That a limited number of selected pioneers be sent out iu July next, a uel that they be required to homestead iu -November and prepare for the arrival of their wives and children in March, 1911; that the wives and children lie maintained from July to December, and that they be provided with steamship and railway fare to join the husband and father. That, on honiesteuding, the mau be provided with cash or credit for a start; that the money for passage eif colonist, maintenance of wife uud family, passages of wife and family, insurance and fidelity bond, and cash or credit to homestend ($750 in all) he advanced as a loan, bearing interest at 7 per cent, (repayable over five years), and secured by a life insurance and fidelity policy, the homestead land, subject to the home stead laws of the Dominion already made unci provided, to be held as uel elilional security. (2) That in May, Juue, and July. 1011, a further contingent of selected hich be scent forward, and that they be assisteel by the 1010 pioneers to build •Shacks and homestead, the latter having been located in 1010 by the Canadian authorities iu anticipation of this event; that their wives ami children be* maintained and sent forward as were the pioneers' wives and children, and that thev follow ill February unci March, 101-J. (:i) Thut this operation be repeated annually, (4) That the operation be regarded nud worked as a business mutter, leaving the colonists without any suspicion of charitable support or philanthropy. (5) That the labor exchanges, H..M. Board of Trade, the authorities of which are fully posted on the matter anei are giving consideration thereto, be the vehicle of procedure. (16) That the present position of passenger agents of all descriptions be* not interfered with, and that they form the first means of introduction of applicants to the local superintendents of labor exchanges. (7) It is estimated that this scheme —upon a basis of 2,000 pioneers, their wives and 4,000 children, during 1010. and 5,000 men, their wives and 10,eH!'i children, during ench subsequent year— could be administered upon a maximum credit of two and a quarter millions, which in the sixth year by repayments with 7 per cent, interest would fall below one million nud remain nt that figure. It would provide a start in life for 20,000 people per annum, anel also pay interest at 'A per cent, per annum, furnish a reserve fund of £.''0,001' per annum, and £10,000 per annum for ml ministration in Great Britain. ' (8) The value of land security under these operations woulei be more than double the amount involved, while the life insurance and fidelity bond would form an additional security. (0) Provision for a leakage ley default of 5 per cent, may lie regarded us prudent, and this is provided for by clauses whicli would enable the Ciieia- diun authorities (in first instance) to retake possession. It. has been pointed out as the high water mark of the above proposition that when, say, £2,250,000 is oa loan there would be a substantial security of 4,000,000 acres of laud, in addition to insurance policies on the lives of the settlers and the fidelity insurance. Thus business, not charity, is essentially the characteristic of what is actually a benevolent Government help scheme, While giving n worthy man a chance, it removes the possibility of the stigma nf pauperism bein;.' attached to him. cidal activity of zinc as manifests itself is associated with the coincident presence of oxygen. A much more intense bactericidal ae-tiou is produced when air is permitted to bubble for our hour through water holding the colon bacilli in suspension in the presence of aluminum, zinc, and copper. With a sulfi- ciency of the pure meted it is thus possible to render the water completely sterile with all three metals, and that wl.ei. it contains abundant bacteria." lu seme eases the' sterilization ap- pears to he due to the formation of chemical compounds, while in others the result would seem to be the direct effect nf thc metal in solution, although the quantity dissolved must be extremely small. The writer goes ou to say: "The subject is clearly of sufficient interest and Importance to merit further investigation, and it would not be surprising if a key to the germicidal action of metals ou bacteria in water is found in the ion. "ft is quite conceivable, at any rate, and especially with waters containing salts or free carbonic acid gas, that ia contact with metal there is some dissociation. . . . The question naturally arises in considering this subject whether it is possible that our metallic cisterns afford water-consumers any protection against microbic invasion." LIMITING NIAGARA POWER BY a treaty recently signed by Great Britain anel the United Stutes provision is made* for regulating the use of water leer power purposes nt \iuguru Falls. The Canadian side is to be permitted the use of 30,000 cubic feet per second, while the New York side will bo allowed to "use 20,000 cubic feet per second. Says a writer in the Tron Age, of New York: "The amount nloltted lo the Canadian side will make possible a much larger development thun is now in use, but as the developing companies an* permitted by the Canadian authorities, as well ns by the United States authorities, to transmit and sell in the United Stutes ut least half of the power generated in Canada, the New Vork side is benefited bv the Canadinn development. "The 2(1,000 cubic feet per second allotted tee the power coiupunies on the New York side will muke it possible for the Niagara 4**nlls Power Company nnd.the Niagara Fulls Hydraulic Power nnd Manufacturing Company to perfect their development,.:ts originally pluiineel. It, will also loave a smnll amount of water for use in Lockport, where one company has a development to effect, which wnter is diverted from the Erie Canal. As considerable attention is paid to efficiency at Niagara, em both sides of the river, the water diverted may bo expected to afford the highest possible results iu power output." CANADA'S INDUSTRIAL FUTURE ERNEST OAWCBOFT, writing in the Hook Keeper, of Detroit, for June, discusses the industrial future of Canada. In the course of his article—the leading article of the mag azine, by the way—he says: "The industrial present of the Dominion of Canada is a fact; its industrial future' is assured. Canada has a lurger ureu thun the United Stutes; and us the population and development of Canuda are now somewhat parallel to the growth of the United States in the days when Alexander Hamilton and hi, in.mediate successors wow fountains the fiscal system which has triumphed in the Federalism of Koosevelt and Taft, it is interesting tee contemplate, both in its economic aspects and aa a study iu historical evolution, the Industrial future of the Nation of the North. Today England and Germany are fighting for the same markets; ami iu view of the fact that the perioel is approaching when Canada will be a competitor of the United States in the West Indies and eSouth America, the prospective growth of Canadian Industrialism is a pertinont subjoct for consideration. "Jefferson foresaw the United States as a vnst ngrlculatural empire, but did not allow for the marvels worked by the inventor. Stephenson sounded the death knell of the Jefferson agricultural empire and paved the way for the Ham- iltonian system of protected manufacturing cities when he invented the steam engine. Why is that an evident, fact? Because ihe modern railroad is too costly an investment, and too expensive from an operative standpoint, not to enjoy the necessity of what is known in railway circles as the "return haul." in other words, no railroad cau afford to carry agricultural products from the fanns to the cities. If it did, the expense of moving the freight cars both ways .would be absorbed from the farm products. Thus the necessity of a "return haul" forces the development of industrial cities. This is what occurred in the United States between 1830 nnd 1S70; this is just what is destined to occur in Canada between the present day and the middle of the Twentieth Centurv.'' THE ALLAN LINE SCHEME Emigration of Solccted Settlers to Canada WHAT may be considered lhe most practicable emigration scheme yet submitted for the consideration <et' the Home ami Dominion Governments is that proposed by Mr. R. C. Scott on behalf of the Allan Line ut the Royal Colonial Institute Conference. li will undoubtedly be seriously considered, ns it affords a means eef deal ing with eene eef the most difficult problems cei' the* day—the permanent and satisfactory sett lenient upon the land of a class willing to work and likely to do well for themselves nud the country to which they migrate. 'I'he synopsis of the1 scheme shows that much care has been exercised in its preparation, and though particulars are clearly shown and generalities avoided, there is no doubt but that thc propoundcrs of the project would be prepared to make alterations to meet nnd harmonize with departmental requirements nt present in forco or projected for the future. It is to be noted that many points which will exclusively occupy the attention of the Dominion Department of the Interior have not formed the subject of representation at the conference above referred to. Those points can only be elucidated after the Dominion Government have deliberated upon them. Besides promising to cost comparatively little, the scheme has the merit of providing PURIFYING WATER r"nilE Toronto Telegram's opinion is J- anxiously awaited as to the value of a new theory for purifying water now being discussed by the scientists. It has been found thnl in many cases bacteria are killed ley the presence of metals in vory minute quantities, so that water may be sterilized by merely allowing it to stand in n metallic vessel. Interesting experiments have been made by Dr. A. c. Rankin, demonstrator in bacteriology at McGill University, .Montreal,' support this view. Snys a writer in the Lancet (London): "Sundry metals possess not. merely a distinct inhibitory action upon the growth of molds, bacteria, and other micro-organisms, but exert even a germicidal pow.eiv Wutpr containing the typhoid bacillus'and kept in a clean copper bowl becomes sterile. When air is^ passed through water containing abundant colon bacilli thero is no inhibitory effect. Relatively large amounts of pure zinc with large surface area, placed in water contaminated with •abundant, colon bacilli and allowed to remain for one hour, bring about a recognizable, but not extreme, destruction of the bacteria; Aluminum and copper, under similar circumstances, have no perceptible effect. The same experiment repeated, but with the oxygen driven out of tho water by previous boiling, proved that none of these metals had any influence upon tho subsequent growth of the bacteria. From this it would appear that such bacteri* WHERE COOK COMES IN MT. McKINLEY has been sealed a second time, and two more expeditions are about to attempt the feat, with very fair chances of success. Dr. Cook, therefore, stauels vindicated to this extent, that his claims never embraced the impossible. He may not have climbed Mt. McKinley, and he may not have reached the pole, but by almost miraculous power of prevision he has seen the coming event a few months in advance of his fellow-citizens; and thnt is a gift not to be ashamed of. In addition, the doctor is undoubtedly entitled to the credit for such stimulative effect, ns the announcement of his own performances may have exercised upon others to go and do what he claimed to have done. As a harbinger of success, he is almost, without a rival. It might be a very good thing for civilization if Dr. Cook could be induced to come out of his retirement, and announce that he had discovered a cure for tuberculosis, solved the cost- of-living problem, and persuaded the Kaiser to consent to a reduction of armaments. Within a few months these things would actually have been accom- plished—by some one else*. A STORY OF EARLY WINNIPEG ON" the occasion of the recent inauguration of the new Royal Line of steamers between Montreal aud Bristol, Alderman Twiggsc, of Bristol, while the guest in this country of the Canadian Northern Railway, lend an opportunity of learning much nbout Canada's marvelous growth. At a club in Winnipeg the party foregathered with some old-timers, and Alderman Twiggs' questions started much "reminiscing." Mr. Hugh Sutherland happened to remark that eight million bushels of wheat, had that day been sold iu the Winnipeg pits at an average prico of a dollar a bushel. At this, Mr. C. N. Bell, secretary of the Winnipeg Board of Trade, an old-timer, said: "1 remember when the Hudson's Bay Company were the only buyers of wheat in Winnipeg. It was Fort (larry then, and I recall seeing their notice to the farmers. It was posted up on the dejor of the church, as being the most public place in the community, The notice stated thnt the Hudson's Buy Company would not buy more than two bushels of wheal from any one farmer, and that payment for the same 'would be made only in goods.' Tt was signe-d by the agent, of the company. I remember reading the signature, It was Donald Smith. Today ho is known as Lord Strathcona." THE SEA'S VENTILATION OXE of the reasons formerly urged against the existence of living creatures in the abysses of the ocean wns the supposed absence of oxygen there. It was deemed impossible that any considerable quantity of oxygen could exist at greut depths. But discoveries of recent date have shown that there is no lack of oxygen even at the greatest depths. The explanation is that the cold water of the polar regions, enarged with tho oxygen from the atmosphere, creeps nlong the bottom toward the equator from both poles and thus carries a supply of oxygen over the whole vast floor of tho oceans. The surface water moves toward the poles, and so a great system of circulation exists. 'Were it not for this world circulation, one authority assuros us, it is altogether probable that the ocean would in time become too foul to sustain animal life, at least iu its higher manifestations, nnd the sea, the mother of life, would itself be dead. ..ic.. 41 THK HOSMER TIMES • POLITE MR. WILLIAM WINTUBOF PACKARD rpHK well un the san. 1 spit at Nome in X. the rush summer of 1900 was at once a prize joke and a breeder of tragedies. A hand ful of miners aud prospectors discovered gold in the sea beach in 1809 and many dug a small for tune out of it. Adventurers, boomers, aud blacklegs flocked iu immediately, as they always do to a new camp, and when the great rush began the next Hpring were ready to collect money from the incoming thousands by every known device, and some not hitherto in use. One of these last was this well, which came to be known in derision as :* Widow Smith's well." It was the only well on the spot and had been dug the summer before by an honest miner who had "gone out to Seattle ia the fall and had failed to come back. The gamblers and confidence men who had taken charge Of the town and everything else they could lay hand on during the winter held this well ns a prize asset, not to use, but to sell. 'i'he plan was simple. Of the incoming people a few were real miners, a few would-be miners, but the great remainder had come with the linn con vie - (inn that they were to make their for tunes us trailers. "Traders have always-) made the fortunes in mining camps," they argued, "therefore we will tie traders." lt was easy tn sell Widow Smith's well for a considerable .sum, it being represented that the own er hud but to sit ou tho curb and ladle out water at a nickel a bucket, the de- maud being good and the supply inexhaustible, t.very steamer brought a new customer for tlie well. Among a population daily shifting it was easy to sell water to newcomers, and for a day the. new owner would do u rushing busi m.ys, then the business would become ex citing rather than rushing, 'I'he more experienced would refuse to pay fur water from a well which they had used as common property, and the more reck less WOUlu defiantly take water by force. The matter always culminated by the third day iu the new owner being driven from his supposed property and leaving the well aud the sand-spit behind him forever iu disgust at his ill luck. The dispossession was always conducted with perfect good humor if possible. Once, though, there came a foolhardy man who had a large pistol and did not understand the ways of mining camp people, lie left ou the first day for the Nome hospital, his pistol hand disabled by some quick and accurate marksmanship which no doubt prevented him from murdering innocent people. Those of us who had stayed on at tlie sand-spit from the first ami were fast becoming old-timers in the short life of such camp regretted this, but wo hoped at least it would ond the purchasing if not the ottering uf the well for sale, but. we underestimated the greed of the confidence men as well as the innocence of the tenderfoot. There came a steamer the very next day and with it a slim, boyish looking chap ■who bought the well, paying the largest sum yet, or so the rumor had it. He was a pleasant little fellow, aud before he began business hi' strolled about camp for a day talking with everybody, lie seemed'to have a mar t/elous faculty for getting a man's name, his personal history; aud his confidence, and keeping them. Everybody liked him, antl though every one of the ten rules for comfort in a mining camp is "Mind your own business," there was n't one of us old-timers but gave him a hint of what he had coining to him. 3*'vidcntly he pieced these together an Ue went along, for lie went back to his teat before midnight very thoughtful, but, us we all agreed, a verv polite and likeable little chap. We didn't think he would last out the next day, but evening found him at the curb. He had taken mopey frnm everybody who had taken water, too. ''lie's so blamed polite.'' growled one man who had sworn to pay no more in direct tribute to the well thieves. " What can you do to a man who knows you by name the minute you show up and talks to you as if you were an .old friend? Why', no came from my State. I can't kick over* nickel with a man like that." "Told him f hadn't any money for water," said another, ''and what ilo you think? He said take nil I wanted to and welcome. 1 could pay when 1 got on my feet again. He knew me by name; knew a man 1 used to know down iu the States. Do you suppose 1 was going to have him send out word thnt ■Jones was so badly broke he couldn't ■• ay a nickel for water? I made believe it was a joke and paid up. Ouess I'll nave to right along." By the second day everybody was "Polite Mr. William's" sworn friend and the Widow Smith's welt was a bigger joke than ever, but this time the laugh was with the new owner. No oue iu camp thought of refusing to pay for water. All wished to see Polite Mr. "William win out in his ownership. For the first time the camp had found an individual and cause on which to crystallize public sentiment and it adopted both witll ardor of youth. .Men who were making it well in the beach sands with rocker and sluice were ushamod to pay just a nickel, which is considered a picayune coin, a bit of down-east stinginess, in most rush camps. Instead they would drop a quarter of a dollar in his hand ami say, "Never mind the change, lad, two-bits is as small as wo have in a good camp." Polite Mr. William began to lose his anxious look. Hut the men who had sold him the well and/who were eager to have him driven from it without their direct interference were much angered when this did not. take place. Rmissurics whom they sent ovor from town failed to stir up strife and they were forced to more open tactics. Meanwhile Polite Mr. William had become the intimate friend uf every man in camp and knew more or less about everybody else iu the district. Ho had served to introduce us all, in a way, and a community spirit which had not hitherto existed was fostered, and did much good. Thus things went on for ten days, when one morning when the camp was most busy and there was least liability that many would be on hand to interfere, a stout man came ovor from Nome and stopped as if aghast when ho saw the well and Polite l\Tr. William serving water from it. "What! What!" he sai.l. "Who baa dared to interfere with this property?" '' Why, no one, Mr. Blum,'' said Polite Mr. William in his most cordial manner. Every one is patronizing me and I am doing well. Glad to see you; will you have a drink?' The stout man looked a little dis turbed at being addressed by name, and refusing tlie proffered dipper of water ■went on: i(But this is au outrage! This chum jumping, young man, must be stopped. That we'll is the property of the Widow Smith. How ilo vou com'e to be selling the water?" "Now I'm sorry vou aro disturbed about this," said Mr. William. "1 have a bill of sale from some very nice people over in Nome who 1 ani very sure < -omc lt is would make no mistake about it. around and sit oown, Mr. Blum a warm day.'' Nothing could be more genial than the tone of Mr. William, and no one could be more cool than he. On the other hand, the stout man did his part well, going from indignation to a tine rage at the injustice done to Widow Smith, who, he declared, was not iu town at present, but whose rights were in the hands of all good citizens, and there would be some who would not fail to protect these rights with their very lives. Indeed, he understood that Pistol Hill bad been seen on the .sand-spit that morning. Pistol Hill was a great friend of the widow's and a dead shot. He was a very quarrelsome man, too, when he had beeu drinking, which was most of the time. The young man would better look out! lie himself was deter mined that no oue should defraud the widow and he was going straight back to town to invoke the law! The indignant Mr. Ilium went, off hastily iu the direction of Nome, and it was not long before the second actor iu this farce-comedy appeared. This was the veritable Pistol Hill himself, ami the rumblings of his approach were audible some time before lie came. The newcomers withdrew from the tents along his line of march and eyed him with awe fnun a respectful distance. lie was outfitted like a stage desperado and he approached the wel IwtlOOpiug] and shooting inlo the air with two very large pistol*., but .Mr, William sat quietly by with his usual polite smile. A shot splintered the slender board canopy over the well, but, though he was pale, he was seemingly unmoved. Pistol Hill wavered a little as he drew very near, lie was playing a game that might well be dangerous iu a mining camp, even though his intended victim was but a pale young tenderfoot. Yet the tenderfoot had made no move to ward golf-defense. No doubt he was frightened and needed but a final vigor ous onslaught to make him turn and run, never to come back to camp. With a tremendous roar of "Mush, you claim jumper! Mush for your life!" he waved Ins two revolvers ami lurched forward as if to butt the pale young man clear off the sand spit. It all happend like a transformation scene at the play when the wicked demon vanishes under the compelling magic of the good fairy. As Pistol Hill lurched forward Mr. William suddenly crouched, rose, and with the quick side flip of a wrestler sent his opponent, pistols and all. headlong into Widow Smith's well. It was afterward rumurer thilt Polite Mr your pardon,'' periulist do not know him at all, for he is before all things a ( anadian. In his Vancouver speech he declared that throughout the South Africau war not one un wounded Canadian surrendered. "There were, ' he said, "quite a few surrenders under the white Hag, but not one of them was a Canadian; nor was one Canadian guu captured.'' The statement was received with cheers. *' Two little incidents occur to my mind,'' said Col. Denison, *' in one of which I feel a personal interest; because 1, as colonol of my regiment, re commended Captain Cockburn to repre- sent the regiment iu the first contingent. At the battle of LUHfontein, Col. Sor- rell and the Canadian Mounted Rifles were falling back before a superior force of liners. There were two guns of the Ottawa Artillery. Two hundred aud fifty mounted men were trying to keep tne Boers back, guarding the line of retreat. They saw thai.' their horses were tireu and that they could not get oil with the gun. The colonel turned to Captain Cockburn and said: 'Cockburn, take your squadron and deploy there. Never let it be said that a Canadian gun was taken.' Cockburn formed up liis men, aud they went on fighting. And they never stopped lighting until the guns were got away. (Cheers.) •'.i still more striking incident happened at the battle of Hart's River, Some of you will remember it, aud if you don't, you should. (Laughter.)

Hut to thnt there is ti big opposition, and not nil men want tn quit. And not wanting to quit, it is for them to make a defence; there are always arguments lor the defence. Here is one ottered by a Correspondent to the Chicago Tribune. "You may say thut the world did without smoking fur a mighty long timr, why not now? But you must admit that since tobacco wns Introduced to the world it has witnessed the greatest things done by brain power. Tobacco did it. "Why, every conceivable invention is cither perfected now nr sn near it that the inventive field is nearly used up and inventors are leaving the field and retiring.

Barrett, 6m .Motran St., Montreal, lays: " A horrid rash came ont all over my baby's 'ace and spread until it had totally covered his scalp. It was irritating and painful, and caused the little one hoars of suffering. We tried soaps and powders and salves, but he got no better. He refused his food, got quite thin and worn, and was reduced to a very serious condition. I was advised to try Zam-Buk, and did so. It was wonderful how it seemed to cool and ease the child's burning, painful skin. Zam-Buk from the very commencement seemed to go right to the spot, .and the pimples and sores and the irritation grew less and less. Within a few weeks try baby's skin waa healed completely.

A number of bankers iu the Western States have agreed to refuse money to borrowers who intend to um* it to buy motor cars, •iml the newspapers are affirming or denying that "automobile extravagance has become a country-wide evil that | demands drastic treatment."

"There's a reason," according to the New York world, for this cry of "auto mobile extravagance" being raised by bankers and Wall Sine! brokers. To quote: " A main trouble with the present motor ear extravagance is that its affects arc directly felt, by Wall Street's chief industry. Every purchase of a $3,500 automobile represents the invest ment of a sum sufficient to margin 150 shares of stock, and lhe aggregate of such withdrawals of funds from 'legitimate trade" in stocks and bonds is obviously immense. To say nothing of the $30,000,000 alleged to bo invested in automobiles in Kansas, the 108,000 automobile licenses issued at Albany of themselves constitute the equivalent, at a minimum estimate, of u $100,000,000 bond issue.

In discussing the many good ties of the toad Mr. Gray says: Cutworms that destroy millions of dollars' worth of wheat and rye stalks are its favorite food,and after the cutworms come the lent caterpillars, the weevil, the .grasshopper and the cricket. The food capacity of our warty backed friend is prodigious. In the stomach of one ordinary sized toad there were found twenty-seven thousand - legged worms; iu another twenty-two gypsy moth caterpillars; in another ninety rosebugs—all taken within several hours. It is estimated that one toad will devour in thirty days 700 cutworms, 1,000 ants, 150 weevils, 110 ground beetles, and (J00 myriupods. These are all harmful insects to vegetation, and nature seems to have created in tho toad an appetite for them rather than for the beneficial insects. The brown tail moth, one of the greatest pests we have, is a special tidbit, and is eaten in vast numbers, so If you multiply the stomach capacity I .' of one toad bv the stomach capacity of w '10,000 other "toads you will see what can and will bo accomplished if these little creatures are properly bred and protected. . s high as a shilling apiece bas been paid by Knglish farmers for full grown toads. While we are about it is is as well to mention that the little garter snakes so common everywhere, which are ruth lessly Killed ou sight merely because they are snakes, are utterly harmless and moll-meaning creatures. 'I'he old instinet to kill, brought down with us from the days ot' our simian ancestry, makes us turn instinctively against living things that are not pretty. .Even the snakes deserve a chance to live. ck the IN A WELSH MINING VILLAGE NO one appreciates a joko more than the Welsh collier, particularly if il bo a practical one. Roberts was a collier of our acquaintance, and Jenkins was his lodger and fellow-collier, and a notorious practical joker at that. Last summer Roberts bought hid first silk hat, and put it on iu attend a funeral. When Jenkins saw him come downstairs in it he affected the wildest horror, and dashed out of the house and down tlie road to the nearest cottages, half a mile away, iu his shirtsleeves. •'There's a mad dog up at Rob- crts'sl" he shouted, in fearful tones. A county policeman lived in one of Co- cottages, and he promptly seized a gun and, followed by a score of men armed witli pokers, pitchforks, and bludgeons, set' out for Roberts's house. Roberts was just emerging from bis garden, en route for the funeral, aud, seeing tin1 mob running towards him with the notorious joker Jenkins at their head, bo thought they were bent on thc destruction of his new hat, a •'joke" which he well knew his mates would thoroughly enjoy. He at once took to his heel.s. "There's the dog— ahead of Roberts, After him, boys!" shouted the rascal Jenkins; aud, thinking that Roberts could see tlie dog and was also in chase of it, the mob followed a.i fast as they could. J'oor Roberts ran till he could run no when the armed mob rushed up he burst into fears and sobbed. " Wat is the mat- I tor on ye boys?

DEPOTS FOR STOWAWAYS THERE have been so many ship- wroeks on the islands of the Southern Ocean between thc Meridian of the Cape and Australia that depots of food and clothing have beon established on many of the more import-j ant Islands. On Hog Island, Crozet j Group, there is a hut near thc landing place where t..e French war vessel La Meurthe left a ton of preserved beef, half a ton of biscuit, three-quarters of a hundred-weight of sardines in oil, twenty blankets, fifteen pairs of shoes and trousers, all carefully packed, together wilh two spears, two hatchets, and some cooking utensils." At Possession Island and many other islands there are similar depots, and nearer New Zealand there are several such sanctuaries for castaways. Similar depots have also been established on Vancouver Island at Cape Ileale Lighthouse and Car- manal Lighthouse. Both England and Prance, indeed, have vied with one another in recent years in alleviating the misfortunes of castaways on the desolate islands of the Southern Ocean and other lonely seas. SPAIN AND LATIN AMERICA A Spanish Professor Says that Spain's Foreign Policy Should Face Towards South America PAIN* must rescue Latin America from the intrigues of the United States, declares Prof. Vinconte Gay, of tho ancient University of Val- ladolid, in the Spana Modernn of Madrid, to which he contributes a second article on South America. Ho bids the Spanish laborers to turn their eyes to the broad, rich acres of South America, instead of flocking foolishly to thc United States, lured by the Vaukee dollar. "Wo should insist upon the common blood of Spain and South America," he says, "and encourage trade and intercourse." The one obstacle to closer relationship between Spain and her former colonies is the United States which is always interfering in the internal affairs of the Latin Republics, although, to be sure, as the professor admits, the Republics bring this intervention upon themselves by their own misdoings. He quotes the Chiapas y Mexico as remarking that "it may be that the Northern Republic abuses its power," and sometimes intervenes for selfish purpose , \ i I: "So long as the Central Americans noither keop the peace, nor know how to assort thoir rights, intervention 8' "Box 'at!" exclaimed the policeman, in amazement and wrath.

Expecting to find the inhabitants dangerous savages, possibly cannibals, hn wns amazed to find himself welcomed by civilized people who spoke English quite easily, The next visit paid by two Hritish frigates, the Briton and the Tagus, was accidental, but when Sir Thomas Staires, who was j in command of the Briton, reported? his] find to the English Admiralty, he spoke in terms of high praise of the venerable old man, John Adams, who was the only surviving Englishman of those who had mutinied against Captain Bligh in the Bounty, The experiences of Alexander Selkirk, upon which was founded the immortal ''Robinson Crusoe'' of Daniel Defoe, were all gaiued on the South Pacific Island Juan Fernandez, upon which the enduring Scotch sailor was for some time a castaway. In 18012 the Compadre, an iron barque, eaught fire in mid-ocean, and was purposely run ou shore at Auckland Island to save the lives of all on board. Here they remained for more than a hundred days, after which they effected their escape. Among their number was an apprentice named E. Roberts, who, on reaching Kngland, was appointed to a vessel that was run down in the Channel. Only seven were saved, but Roberts was one of them. His next voyage was made without misadventure, but on his fourth his vessel was lost on Tristan d'Acunha, and tho unfortunate Roberts was drowned with two of the crew. In 1808 H.M.S. Thrush took off some castaways from Tristan d'Acunha, who, after escaping from their wrecked vessel, the filenhiintly, had received the hospitality of the poor islanders for a period of five months. CHANGED VIEWS OF LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES NOVHH reading was classed by all the pulpits of the United States in tho late fifties with such sins as Sabbath breaking, whiskey drinking, dancing and other devices of Satan. This picturo of clerical intolerance of novel reading which then prevailed is a striking contrast to present day methods in American pulpits when a popular novel is often mnde the text nf a sermon. A short time ago a few question along the line of the one at the beginning of this story were sent to a few of the prominent trainers and drivers. Some of the answers received were in the negative, several of the trainers stating very emphatically that there was no horse in sight at this time that had n chance to lower Dan Patch's records. Vmong the men holding this opinion are j John Dicherson, James Hogan, Mike j Bowormnn and George Castle. Tom I Murphy ■-aid the questions were loo dif j ficuli for him to hazard any guess. N'early all of them state that Minor Heir is the fastest borse now training, and admit that he if any horse, has this chance. During the past winter, Minor "Heir has rested, grown big and strong, lie seems to be in aabsnlutely perfect condition, and both in looks and in spirit does not seem like the same horse that wns takeu to the farm a year and a hair ago. What he will do in 1910 remains to be seen, but the consensus of opinion is that with good luck ns to weather and track conditions. Minor Heir will win new laurels and will carry homo with him this fall at least the world's unpaeed record, and perhaps some of the other marks now held by his illustrious stable mate. THK poor white tnthh of the Southern | Stales and the listless negroes have long been a by-word, but we '. suddenly tind out that ail these people, white and dark, are afflicted with a pai I asite, the hook worm, which saps their vitality, internally slowly bleeds then strength away. The remedy is not schools, nor churches, nor the suppression of the saloon, •jor the strenuess of the task master- all excellent devices; the remedy is the elimination of the parasite. After this initial betterment, lhe principles of pdu cation, of religion, Oi temperance, of stimulus, may be confidently applied. American organization for operation. whether governmental (army, navy, civil), whether state or municipal, whether' industrial or commercial, proves on investigation to bo Inefficient, often disgracefully so, the efficiency of the. output of men of militia age of the country as a whole being not more than n per cent., the efficiency of use of ma terials being not more than 60 per cent., the efficiency of equipment, facilities, averaging not 30 per cent. These in efficiency statements can be verified from the fads, by any competent ex pert, as readily as an assayer can dupli cate the assay of an ore sample. Our material resources are unsurpass ed, our workers are intelligent, ambitious, versatile; our equipment, from farm lands to office buildings, from typewriters up to Mallet compounds and down again to telephones, is lavish; yet it is all depreciated by nn equally stupendous inefficiency. Tho principles of efficiency are simple, are plain, are ele mentary; they have been accepted and practiced empirically for a few million years since life began on our planet;-yet in modern America, we flounder in our productive operations, as hopelessly put back in the running as the hook warm victim of the South. What is this insidious disease that wastes our resources of materials, of human potentiality, of equipment—that prevents the application of efficiency principles even as the existence of the hook worm prevents the application of principles of human well-being? The industrial hook work disease is defective organization, Au air compressor, forcing hot and squealing air, and a vacuum pump softly coaxing cooling air, are oue aud the same machine working on the same cydo in opposite directions. With n very few simple changes the compressor can be changed into the vacuum pump. So with a very few small changes a disastrous form of organization can he turned into a benefit form. In primtivo times, with that fatuity and perversity which accountably char aeteri/.es so much that is human, we turn to the left wheu we ought to have turned fo the right. Having two forms of organization to choose from—only two, the destructively offensive and the constructively defensive—we choose for our industrial organization the de structively offensive type, and it does not work out, never can and never will; while we ought to have chosen the con structively defensive type of organize tion, alone suited to productive up building. The two types of orgunziation are as <dd as life, are therefore far older than humanity, ami we have had to accept them as part of our inheritance just as we accept the necessity of assimila (ion, of elimination, of reproducing, of breathing. Hut there is no more reason in adhering industrially to the destruc tive type of organization, since we have learned that the other is better, th'an there is iu adhering to phek teams and ox carls after the railroad and automo bile have been perfected. To bring out clearly tlie radical dif ferences between the two types of or gaaization, in spirit, ia effectiveness, and in methods, we select two primitive examples, one a plant and the other an animal. The plant trusts to the generous, often enthusiastic co-operation of forces outside of itself and it therefore draws strength of w'ide and unlimited range. The mammal trusts to the occasional, often grudging, co-operation of powers identical in kind with its own, therefore of limited scope. The path finder through primeval forest is impressed with lhe luxuriant wealth and profusion of plant life—trees, at their best, 400 feet high: i*-. impressed with the comparative paucity, pettiness, transltoriness of animal life, whose largest jungle representative is the elephant, twelve feet high and living at most a few hundred years. Plants trust all nature and draw help from everywhere; animals trust none but their kind and grow through destruction. Kven that type of all that is silly and innocent, the sheep, will destroy in a few years a millennial pasture range. The wild rose bush exemplifies the defensive, upbuilding type, of organiz ation. The rose steins are covered with sharp thorns so that the delicate flowers mny not be plucked and destroyed by wanton creatures wdio might just as well be browsing on grass or leaves, but the color and perfume of the blossoms attract the bees, beetles, butterflies, and moths who in return for an efiieiency reward, the honey, cross-fertilize the plunts, The petals fade and drop, the seed receptacle, au inconspicuous green, swells and grows. When ripe, the leaves that hid it fall away; it appears red, a tempting rose-apple to bird that* plucks it, to mammal that finds it dropped, but the cradle of the seeds is so protected that the rose babies escape to grow and flourish where they fall. The rose relies on defensive up-building organization, calling on water, nir, warmth and light, earth, insects, birds and mammals, each taking a part, all helping the rose to dot tho western prairies. Roosevelt gives us the other picture when he describes the African baboons who are organized for offense, for destruction: "The baboons were very numerous around this camp, living both among the rocks and in the tree tops. They are hideous creatures. They ravage the crops und tear open new-born lambs to get at the milk inside them; and where lhe natives are timid and unable to harm them they become wantonly savage nnd aggressive ami attack ami even kill women and children. In Uganda, Ounninghame bad once been asked by a native chief to come to his village and shoot the baboons, as they had just killed two women, badly bitten several children, and caused such a reign of terror that the village would be abandoned if they were not killed or intimidated, lie himself saw the torn nnd mutilated bodies of thc dead women; and he stayed in the village a week, shooting so many baboons that the remainder were quite cowed. Baboons do not act alone, but in bands with leaders, with sentinels posted. Baboons, wolves, wild dogs, and primitive man nre thoroughly organized for offence and destruction. Tt is because the object i.s ofTenoc and destruction that evil characteristics are most prom inent—arbitrariness, irresponsible exercise of jiower, harshness, cruelty, with anarchy all along the line. Some strong male, differing not in kind but merely in degree from his fel lows, has fought his way to the top, is given allegiance, based partly ou fear, partly on self-interest. He dele gates power, or each lower rank of followers usurp power, and tbls results in anarchy ail along the line. Are we now writing ot tho -African baboons, of the wolf pack, of the paleo Millie war chief, of the neolithic hunt iii^, foraging*, plundering, filibustering chief, of the enterprising New Vork .Madagascar trader, of the respectable Rhode Island slave and rum trader and privateer; or are we writing of Koose veil's land and marine experiences as a Rough Rider with the United States army and navy; or are we writing of fhe shops of the g;reat industrial iucor porations, of the operation and maintenance of our railroads? It is all one and the same thing, as they are ali victims of a common type of organization resting on the same principles—individual arbitrariness at the top, usurped and delegated power down the line, anarchy everywhere. Modern men have lost thc fangs and the cruel hands of the bit boon; iu them also his savage, cruel instincts are softened. Modern sea-captains arc not such monsters of cruelty as Henry Morgan, modern generals are not as ruthless as Caesar, Attila, Genghis Khan, Tilly, or even Napoleon, Men, thoroughly good, conservative, upright men, with every great up building Instinct, ate happily at thc head of most of our great institutions; they are Infinitely better than tlte destructive organizations through which they are compelled to work, knowing no other; but the old danger is always latent. We who know could fill volumes with modern illustrations of the ever out-cropping evils due to tlie destructive type of organization. MR. KIPLING'S SUGGESTION MR. RUDYABD KIPLING, writing in "The Cur" this weok, makes some interesting remarks on thc necessity of protecting ueroplanists from the effects of a fall, and puts forward the novel suggestion that they should wear air-inflated suits. After commenting on the tragic death uf the Hon. ('. i>. Uolls. he proceeds to set out his plan iu detail, illustrating it with several pon-uiul ink drawings. "i suggest," writes Mr. Kipling, "a helmet of rubber inflated on tin- crown of the head and around lhe back and over the collar bones-I he whole need not be nine,-, heavier than a wicker- work singlestick mask. What you want is thc protection of thc neck against a backward or forward wrench. The height of the padding on the shoulders ought to cushion off the worst of the sideways wrench aud I lie rubber, being moderately thick, acts as slight protection against bits of broken stays and things. ".But the main thing would be to give the spiual cord a chance not to be snapped, and to protect the dome of the head from fracture, Vou would have to make fhe rolls under the chin pretty thick, so that tne head could be driven down on to them witliout tDO much harm. "Hack and pelvis protectors are dif ferent propositions, and I doubt if men would care to wear them, aud I do not think mucii of Spanish picadors' boots for protecting the bones of the legs. "But it looks to me.'' concludes Mr. ipliug, "as if the head, neck, ami shoulder bones, being vital, could be given sonje sort of prof eet inn, if only for that fraction of a second which turns an irretrievable smash into nothing worse than a horrid jar. Wltat do the experts say?'' KITCHEN NOTES Breaded Chicken Cut a small spring chicken, after it has been*cleaned and drawn, into four pieces; dust with salt and pepper and dip them iu a beaten egg, to which you have added a tablespoon ful of water, and dust thoroughly witll fresh bread crumbs, which must .not be browned. Place the pieces in a baking pan, bone side down, and run into a quick oven until a golden brown. This will take about forty minutes. People who have been accustomed to fried chicken will think this very nice. Dish neatly and serve with cream sauce. For supper, serve with them either corn bread or milk biscuit. Por lunch, green peas, nicely cooked and daintily seasoned. OLD AGE PENSIONS IN BRITAIN THERE are already between 800,000 and 900,000 people actually receiving old-age pensions in Great Britain. Pensions aro now to be extended to paupers, and on January 1st there wil] bo about 240,000 aged paupers walking to the post office for their five shillings a week in addition to the eight hundred thousand odd receiving aid now. Tiie total of Britain's old age pension bill will thus be in the neighborhood of $55,000,000 a year. THE DUGOUTS OF CHESAPEAKE BAY D'JGOHTS are usually associated with bygone days, but they still figure iu .Maryland navigation. A few are even being made today. This dug out is the Chesapeake canoe of the East era Shore oystermen. tt is made by placing three pine logs side by side aud fastening them together with wooden pins. Then thc inside is dug out with an adze and the outside similarly shaped.. Thc result is a non sinkable craft, with bow and stern alike, that is rigged with two sails and sometimes a "jig ger" as well. From these boats the oysters are taken up with tongs. When the oyster season is over these canoes are painted and aquatic race are indulged in by the oystermen. Telephone Tragedy Two years ago a telephone girl at the Hagcn exchange (Germany) was struck by lightning white at work. A director who ran to her assistance, was also struck, and died from his injuries a year ufter. The operator, who since thc accident has been suffering from a lingering illness, died recently, all efforts to cure hor of the effects of the shock proving futile. A Lover's Revenge A young Swiss couple at Davos were to have been married shortly, but tho girl jilted her lover because be had shaved off his little beard. The jilted lover took a novel revenge. During the night he pasted all tlio love letters ho had received from his sweetheart on the walls of her residence, where they Were joyfully read by a huge crowd.. The girl, who is very indignant, says she intends to take a similar revenge. 51 ..ll.ii lull..-i FUGITIVE FORTUNE Bv Ernest K. Joyce ; MR. JOSEP.U BODGECftf, slouchiiig along iu his usual elegaut fashiou, felt a Hand fall ou his sl.uuleier, and swung round with a look of apprehension on Lis face. "Oh, it's you, is it!" he exclaimed augrilv, as his eve met that of Mr. William bode]. -'What the doose d'yer wanter come that sort o' game fort 1 thought it was a cop! " "I 'adn't got wind enough to cull out to you," answered Mr. Dodd, whose quick and labored breathing bore out the statement. "I've been ehasine- vou for pretty nigh the 'ole length of the yc eet.'' V" Wheat fori" growled Mr. Budgen, in whose bosom there lurked an instinctive dislike to being chased. "I'll tell you in a minute," pauted Mr. Dodd, "when 1—when—when 1 get my breath back. He took Mr. Budgen by the arm, uud led him onward. The two walked side by side iu silence for a few moments, and "then, drawing a deep inspiration an.l thumping himself on thc chest, Mr. Dodd spoke again. " 'Eard about Dick (Jutes?" he inquired. "No," answered Mr. Dudgen surlily. "Beeu pinched, 'as 'el" "Not. much!" sai.l Mr. Dodd, with a laugh. "Como into a fortune, then.'" sneered Mr. Budgen, "You've 'it it," saiel Mr. Dodd impressively. Mr. Budgou, coining to a sudden halt, stared at his companion contemptuously for several seconds, "Tommy-rot!" l.e exclaimed at last, ,. d walked on again. X',' 'Taint nothing of the sort!" recited Mr. Dodd indignantly, "it's gospel truth.'' Mr. Budgen stopped again, and treated his friend with another stare, one in which scorn wus giving way to a rising curiosity. "What's the little joite?" he Said, with the ail- of a man who, while open to conviction, is still on his guard against the institution known as a '' sell.'' Mr. Dodd glanced up and down the ■street, as if to lend a note of mystery to the co.niuunie-ation which l.e wus about to make. "Dick Oat.es'B cousin, Ebenezcr," l.e began. "Didn't know he'd got a cousin Ebenezer," remarked Mr. Budgen. " 'E didn't know 'isself till three days ago," said Mr. Dodd impatiently. "Not till the lawyer come along, and '' "If 1 was Dick I wouldn't 'ave no truck with lawyers! " declared Mr. Budgen, very emphatically. "Not if they brought you a couple of 'undred quidf" inquired Mr. Dodd, with a leer. Mr. Budgen's bloodshot eyes grew round and protuberant. "You don't mean to say " he began. "Yes, 1 do," said Mr. Dodd, nodding his head violently. "Two 'undred quid was the figure; and 'e's got every pennv of it. 'Is cousin died intestit—" "Died wot?" exclaimed Mr. Budgen. "Intestit,"- repeated Mr. Dodd. " 'Adn't made no will, y' know; uud Dick was 'is only relation." Mr. Budgen, with his eyes fixed on a distant public-house, gave himself up to the rapture of imagination I'or the space of several seconds. Then: "Two—undred—quid!" l.e said, very slowly and impressively. "We ougl.ter get some of it," said Mr. Dodd. "We oughter get the lot!*' corrected Mr. Budgen fiercely. "I spoke about it," said Mr. Dodd, an air of gentle melancholy spreading itself over his expressive features, offered tee go shares. 'Look 'ere, Dick,' I ses: 'you nnd me ought ' " "Wot about mel" demanded Mr. Budgen, with some heat. "Yes. of course," said Mr. Dodd hastily. " 'You anel me and .Toe Budgen,'! ses, 'ought, by rights, to be all doing time together.' '' "Wot " began Mr. Budgen fierce- •*>-• "I said that to remind in. as we was all in the same boat," went ou Mr Dodd quickly. " 'A feller as comes into money and then won't shale it with "is pills,' I ses. 'deserves to 'ave the gaff blown on 'im!' " "So 'e does!" interjected Mr. Bud -, J ii. ■ " 'Ho. does he?'

"Not a 'upenny." sai.l Mr. Dod.l, shaking his head sadly. "The only thing now," he added, "is to get it out of 'im in some otner way. I thought p'r'aps you'd be able to suggest something." Mr. Budgen reflected for n while, tilting his cap on one side and scratching his head, ns if to stimulate his imagination, "I don't quite see 'ow it could bo done," he said presently. "Where does 'e keep the stuff?" " 'E keeps it st, 'ome," answered Mr. Dodd, "but it ain't no use trying to get it by breaking in. 'E's too well ■'*. in them' sort of tricks 'isself." t"That's what 1 was thinking," hgreed Mr. Budge*... with an air of resentment. "Ain't there no way you could gammon 'im into letting go of it?" inquired Mr. Dodd, looking beseechingly at his comrade. "
