Refused to "Drown" Float Logs Down Coast Great Rafts Are Sent From Oregon to San Francisco and San Diego via the Pacific Several times each year during the shipping season, says the Popular Mechanics .Magazine, ocean going log rafts as large as some ot ihe greatest Intercontinental liners are towed down the fuoifio coast I'rom the lumber camps of Oregon into the harbors at San Francisco and San Diego. This Is the way certain lumber interests of the northwest are solving the problem of transportation ot raw timber, for in contrast to a charge amounting to ?10 per thousand board feet, which was made a few years ago for shipment hy rail, lhe cost by this method is reduced to $1. li does not only mean lower prices and au immense saving to the consumers, hut it also enables low grades of 'material, which otherwise would represent a loss, to he placed on ihe market profitably. in the last few years twenty-nine of these titanic log barges have been successfully floated to San Diego. In no case, so far as is known, bas any serious trouble been experienced, and in most eases not even a log has beeu lost, despite tlie fact lhat. tlie average length of these rafts is aboul 7UI) feel, Ihe thickness approximately thirty feet and the. breadth amidships fifty- five feet.

Cartridges Fired Readily After Being Immersed For Many Months After a hard struggle with a head wind and a mountain-high sea, which lossed her about for many long hours, tbe good ship "Grampus" a schooner out. of Galveston for Tamplco���foundered off the Texas coast ..bout nine months ago. The crew of tl.e "Grampus" made a good tight. No real sailor will give up his ship to Davy .Innes' locker without resisting lo the limit of human endurance. Nevertheless, ihe "drampi__ had to go on lhe rocks. Her crew got ashore safely, but. in tlie hold of lhe old craft much treasure was desert ed. Part of the cargo consisted of rifle ammunition, There were metallic cartridges made by several American linns and all of these cartridges went under for a lung sail water bath. The "Grampus" was nol a total loss, bow. ever. In fuel, it wus possible only a few weeks ago lo get Inlo her hold and take up much of lier cargo. Tlie ammunition, for instance, while the wooden cases in which it was packed had been eaten away hy /onus during the nine months' soaking, was brought Into Port Aransas lo be tested.

THANKS TO Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup PURELY VEGETABLE���NOT NARCOTIC First Aid For Weak Digestion Like Nearly Every Trouble Afflicting Mankind Indigestion is Due to Poor Blood Almost everybody experiences times when tbe organs' of digestion show painful signs of weakness. Some slight disturbance of the health starts the trouble; then the patient takes a dislike to food and dull, heavy pain's In the abdomen give warning that the stomach is unable to do its proper work. Sometimes a false craving for food arises; if this is satisfied tbo result is additional torture���flatulence, a drowsy depression, sick hea I- aclie and nausea are common sigu.s ot indigestion. The foolish practice of taking drastic, weakening purgatives at such times should be avoided. Indigestion arises from stomach weakness and Ihe only effectual meth- I od of curing the trouble is to strength- Ien the feeble organs ot digestion by supplying them with richer, purer blood. This is the true tonic treatment, by which m.tiiral method, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, achieve great results. These pills make the rich, red blood needed to strength.) tne stomach, thus imparling a heallhy appetite and curing indigestion and other stomach disorders. .Mr. Thos. Johnson, Heml'ord, .VS., says; "For five years 1 was a great sufferer from indigestion which wrecked me physically. 1 suffered so much that for days at a time 1 could not attend lo iny business. I had smothering spells j ao ba_' at limes that I was afraid I to lie down.

Doctored in Vain Until Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills Were Used Kidney derangements are often associated with disorders of the liver and bowels, and under these condi- ] tions ordinary kidney medicines USlt-! I ally fail to effect cure. It is because! of their unique, combined action on the liver, kidneys and bowels that Dr. Chase's Kldney-Llver Pills are so generally successful, even In the most complicated cases. Mr. Emmanuel Bernard, farmer, St. Paul's, Kent county, X.H., writes: ��� "About eighteen years ago my wife was bad witli kidney disease, and suffered greatly from headaches, pains in bowels and stomach, and her heart was affected. For a year she was treated by her doetcr. with no apparent benefit. She then used live boxes of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills with most satisfactory results. This gave us such a good opinion of Dr. Chase's Kiduey-I.iver Pills that we always keep them in tlie bouse to be used for all derangements of the kidneys, liver and bowels."

W GREAT BRITAIN CAN FINANCE WAR FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS ACCUMULATION OF GOLD LARGEST IN HISTORY Mr. Lloyd George Explains how the Allied Powers have made] Arrangements to help one Another in the most Expensive War that has ever been Waged \ i abroad, and lhe si.ine thing had applied lo France, "l tun not,sure we realize the strain upon this gallant country," the chancellor of tne ixcnequer continued. "Sho has had a larger porportion of her men in the Held and the enemy | in occupation of lhe richest part 0_| her territory. Nevertheless, the confidence of the French nation strikes! every visitor lo Paris. There is lo lie .

David l.loyd George told the house of commons that the expenditures of the allies on the war would be Iwo billion pounds sterling l?10,000,000,000) during tho current year, of which Great Britain was spending more money 'ban were her two allies. The present war, Mr. l.loyd Gcoige said, was the most expensive in material, men and money, that had ever been waged. Great Britain, the chancellor of the exchequer told lhe house of commons, conl I llni'.nco lhe war for Ilve years out of the proceeds of her Invent ments abroad. France was able to do ho for nbout [WO or three years wiih something lo i.paro,. Itus- :ian, he said, although prodigiously od lhe idea of a joint International rich natura. resources, was iu u Right Hon. D. Lloyd George different position. Mr. Lloyd George said It was decided at the conference of the finance mini iters in Paris not to issue a joint loan. The chancellor said th_t Russia had increased her product.vity from 2d to 40 per cent, by surpressinb the sale of vodka. Kussi. had had special difficulties in financing her purchases loan, which would have frightened I every Bourse, ami it luu. been decld-1 ed that each country should raise' the money it needed within its own] territories, so far as conditions allowed. Hul if help were needed for purchases abroad those who had means would help to the best of their power. The only joint loan would be witli respect to ihe advances made or to be made to the smaller of ihe allied states. With regard to Russia1 purchases, the chancellor laid it had been de-: elded that the first ��60,000,000 fo;- this purpoi should be raised in equal amounts on tl e Paris and London markets. Russian treasury bills to the amount of ��10,000,000 issued in London in the last few days had been oversubscribed. Mr. Lloyd George said there was a satisfactory amount of gold in London. "If, lowover, our gold reserves fall below a certain point���a pretty high point���the banks of France and Russia will come to our assistance," he remarked. He mentioned incidentally that the allies would have to see that Belgium did not suffer when the period of restoration and compensation came. The chancellor laid emphasis on the fact that the allies must he prepared to contribute proportionately to the loans needed by the stales prepared to join them later as well as the smaller states now fight- with the allies. Great Britain, he said, had advanceu ��32,000,000 for Russian purchaser in Great Britain and elsewhere and Russia had a credit ot ��� 40,000,000 in London. France also had made advances to Russia for other similar purchases outside of the Russian empire. After alluding to the fact that the accumulation of gold in Great Britain was the largest in the history ef the country, Lbyd Georgj added that France and Russia also had accumulated great reserves, which had been barely touched during the war. Arrangements had be^n made regarding purchases by th allied countries ln neutral markets whereby competition was eliminated, efficiency was promoted and delays were prevented. Value of War Dogs Prove of Great Service to French Army as Messengers Dogs are doing au immense service with the French army as messengers, writes a war correspondent. When war broke out there was not a single dog messenger in the French army, though the Paris police had used them to advantage But after the Germans invaded France and numerous villages were devastated thousands of dogs found themselves homeless. Many were picked up as company mascots by soldiers. Iu their spare time the men amused themselves by teaching the dogs to carry knapsacks, canteens and finally messages from one trench to another. The dogs not only had an absolute disregard for gun and rifle lire, but offered an insignificant target. Then the commanders awoke to their value. Hundreds were "educated" by a special army branch, the Institute of Zoological Psychology. The -work now being done by these dogs is littlo short of marvel. . They havo been taught to hUb behind trees upon the approach of human beings. They know the difference between a. French and German uniform. They glide noiselessly through underbrush and in carrying messages always choose woods, ditches and dry creek beds. Their hearing is remarkably developed, and it is seldom that they , fall into the hands of the enemy. Most of ti.eni are Airedales. Naval Losses at Captain Persius, the German naval expert, cannot justify Germayn's "war zone' manifesto by asserting that Great Britain had already furnished a precedent by declaring the North Sea a war zone. Great Britain did not engage in "submarine warfare" such ar. Adr.iral von Tirpitz proclaimed.

Germany's Comparative Losses Sea Far Outnumber That of Britain One aspect of Germany's naval losses has been quite overlooked���the serious decrease in personnel which they have entailed. Taking the official 'figures of the complements of the 33 units of the German navy which .have been.sunk during 'Ve war ..nd deducting those known to have been saved, at least 11,000 officers and men have lots tlieir lives. As the total effective strength of the personnel of the German navy before the war broke out was less than 80,000, the death roll already amounts to about one-seventh of the whole. Our own naval death roll is roughly 5,000, or only one-thirtieth of the total personnel at the declaration of war. The calling up of reserves and new enlistments have increased both totals, but the alteration in the proportion makes the comparison still moro favorable to thc Britisli navy. All Germany's losses have been due to the fortune of war, while our biggest loss���that, of (he Bulwark���was the result of an accident which might have happened in peace times. And, in addition, we have accounted for eight German armed merchantmen with a total tonnage, of 80,000, whereas (including the Viknor, i hose loss was presumed bv the admiralty) only two British armed merchantmen have been sunk. The crews of these merchantmen and of the interned German merchantmen and the cruisers Konigsberg and Geier have not been included in the foregoing comparison of losses in naval personnel.���Pall Mall Gazette. The Russian Moral Triumph Now Shining Before the World United in Two Noble Determinations A note to lhe Russian budget bill furnishes a remarkable illustration of tlie social and economic advantages which sobriety���even compulsory sobriety���brings iii a community, In referring to the effect of the war on industry, the finance minister says that except in districts directly affected hy lhe war lliere has been no sensible diminution in the industrial output. The reason given is ihe increased productivity of the worker owing to lhe suppression of the sale of alcohol. "This increased productivity has reached from thirty to fifty per cent, and compensates largely for the diminution in the number of workers due lo tlie call to the colors." Assuming thai itussian human nature does not differ materially from our own���and Judging by Mr. Stuart Deacon's remark that his mornings work lu lhe police court of a city where the selling of drink i.s practically unrestricted was a nightmare because of llle number of cases having llieir origin in excessive drinking��� this increased industrial activity in Russia is certain to be accompanied by a decrease in crime, accident, dis- ciise and menial weakness. Hussia never did a braver thins or achieved a liner triumph Ili_.ii when she abolished Ihe state sale of alcohol. Ily one word the Czar, who has always been a firm and earnest advocate of temperance, decreed that never more should the unrestricted sale of strong drink take place in ills vast empire. With the boldness of a righteous cause the Czar swept away at a stroke a state income of some ��80,000,000 a year, and, of course, the chancellor of the exchequer had to find this elsewhere. He did so by increasing almost all taxes,' from land and houses to matches and cigarette papers, and on the liquors sold under comprehensive restrictions from three to six times the former duties havo been imposed. Vodka selling price has been raised to 15s. a gallon, as against about Cs. 3d.; and the malt excise from ,".s. to Td. a pood to 19s. By means of these increases a great portion of the lie- licit is wiped out, some little margin being left for the economic gains that always follow' when drink money is spent on better things. Whatever Russia may have been in the past, she is now shining before the world united in two noble determinations. She has set out to help her allies in freeing the world from the evil domination of the horrible German ideal���a cause which the Greek minister in London, m his remarkable declaration of friendship for Kngland, described as just and good for the whole world���and she is ensuring l'or her own people a sobriety which, as well the Czar knows, can lead only to the attainment of that democratic freedom which can be kept back no longer when a drinking people become a thinking people.��� Liverpool Post. THE DEUSION OF GERMANY AND DREAM OF WORLD-WIDE EMPIRE DESIRE HAS BEEN CHERISHED FOR MANY YEARS Dr. Eliot, of Harvard University, says that Germany has had Ambitions to become a World Tower since 1870, and bas liver since been Working to ihis Iind in the January issue id' tlie Fra up pears the notable contribution to the literature of the war by Dr, Charles W. Eliot, presldenl emeritus of liar vai'd University. Dr, Eliot brushes aside the Incidents of the murder of (the sea what was the Austrian Archduke and tlie trie- ed of the army n lion between Servl: Austria and Russia view uf Dr. Kiiot, the German ua\y was not ready, and knew that it was am ready, io throw down the gauntlet H' Britain, It needed a few years more before it could accomplish ou onfldently expect- land. Therefore Germans Take Ether French, in Turn, Take the Germans Who Fall Asleep A wounded French officer, who lias just rejoined his regimen!; in the Ar- gonne district after thre3 months' absence, writes that he is struck by the excellent spirit of the troops despite their fearful hardships in a difficult country where some of the hardest fighting of the war has boen accompanied by an unusually high death rate. Officers and men are convinced of their eventual mastery over the Germans, whose i.ttaeks, they say, are pushed home only when the soldiers have '-een stupified wich a mixture of ether and alcohol, which sometimes causes them to fall asleep immediately after they have taken a trench, so that "or.r men returning butcher them like sheep." Tho writer was further impressed by the organization of the service l'or transferring munitions, food and the wounded. In tho French rear, where the roads were formerly execrable, they are now mended daily and cleaned bv mechanical sweepers. Infuriated by the capture of his father a fisherman, whoso trawler had been sunk in the North Sea by Germans, Private Croft, a Grimsby man with the Lincoln regiment, is exacting revenge. A comrade invalided homo says every lima the Lincolns go into action Croft says, "Now to avenge the old man." After one bayonet charge Croft turned to his comrades, grimly saying, "I've prodded two for pa." nd Austria and six nionthr, ago Germany egged .\us- md assirts that trla on in the belief that Britain the prime source of the present Im-1 would not go to war. Her army sbe meuse disaster is the desire on the considered td be, with the assistance pnrt of Germany ior world-empire, of the Austrian army, more than a This desire, he says, lias been flier- j match for the land forces of France islied at different limes by one Europ can nation after another and none that has ouce adopted t has ever completely eradicated it. Prussia long held this ambition, but was unable to gratify it until 1870, because the German people had been divided since the Thirty Yeats' War into a large number of eparate, more or less Independent slates. Shortly before the achievement of German unity by Bismarck she had obtained by war in 180-1 and 1886 important accessions to territory. This contributed to the delusion that was soon to seize Ihe whole German people, namely; the belief that world-empire was only to be obtained by force of arms, Therefore, says Dr. Eliot, united Germany has labored witli utuiosi Intelligence and energy to prepare the must powerful army in the world and. to equip it for instant action in the mosl perfect manner that science and eager invention could contrive. To develop the supreme military machine, universal conscription���au otltgrowt.i of the conception of the citizens' army during the Revolution was necessary, so that every young mail in Germany physically competent lo hear arms might receive the training of a soldier, whether he wished it or nol, nnd remain at the call of the government for military duty during all his years of competency even if lu were the only sou of a widow, or i: widower with little children, or the sole support of a family or other dependants. Eventually the German army wns and Russia, and her navy was strong enough to cope with those of the Double Entente. Britain's entry into the war was something she had never calculated upon. Dr. Eliot continues to expound the German religion of valor, and to show how it is a contradiction of the religion of Jesus ot Nazareth. Ile then discusses lhe German contention that the present war is waged as a defence against Runsia, He says: "Germany has never dreaded or even respected the military strength of Russia, and the recent wars and tlireatenings ef war hy Germany have not been di- rccled ag: lust Russia, hut again?: Denmark, Austria, France ..ml England. In her colonization enterprises it is uot Russia that Germany has encountered hul, England, France and lhe United States. The friendly advances mado within the last twenty years by Germany to Turkey were not Intended primirlly to strengthen Germany against Russia, but Germany against Great Britain liy Germany' _ access by land to India." Dr. Eliot says that the desirable outcomes of the war arc; "_o world- empire for any raca I r nation, no more subjects, .10 more executives, either permanent or temporary, with power io throw their fellow-countrymen into war, no secret diplomacy Justifying lhe use for a profit ot ait Ihe lies, concealments, deceptions and ambuscades which are an Inevitable part of war and assuming to commit nations mi International questions, and no more conscription armies that ' can ho launched ..i war hy executives witho made the largest, according t. population in the world, and the rrost ef-'l without consul\\\k Independent rep- Ilcient. lt was placed .absolutely atil'esentatlve assemblies.

Mittens Did Good Service Story That Many Another Might Probably Equally Tell The tale of a pair of mitten knitted by a pair , f small 'ut eager hands is told In a letter received at Ottawa from the battlefield in France. The mittens were knitted by Elaine For- cade a little French-Canadian girl in I Montreal who sent them on to. I Major-General Sam Hughes with the i request that they be sent to some one Who needed them in the trenches at the front. The address of the maker was however not given. General Hughes genre the mittens lo Captain Dumont, who in turn sent; them to General Legranne of the French army. A letter received hy, General Hughes states that lhe mit-; tens were given to a French soldier, and that they have probably saved his j hands on many occasions from the cold and snow of the trenches. It is hard to say througb what adventures and scenes of horror the mittens made by the little French-Canadian girl have passed.

He remarks it is somewhat surprising te find reliance being placed on such things. Tho writer, ameng other things, describes the sporting interest of the artillery combat and daring (lights by our airmen in a wind blowing at ninety miles an hour. The despatch, which is dr.ted January ID, deals In opening principally with artillery bombardments, in which the batteries ef the _iem;- were generally reduced to silence. In a sceptical and materialistic age like the present it Is somewhat surprising to find reliance being placed on charms and yet not a few ot our prisoners are in possession of so-called "prayers," whicli are really written charms against death, wounds, disease, and every imaginable evil. One such document recently found ou a prisoner begins thus: "A powerful prayer, whereby on. Is protected and guarded against shot and sword, against visible and invisible foes, as well as against all manner ot evil. May God preserve me against all manner of arms and weapons, shot and cannon, long or short swords, i.-.ives. or daggers, or car- bites, halberds, and anything that cuts or points, against thrusts, rapiers, long and short rifles, or guns and suchlike, which have been forged since the birtli of Christ; against all kinds of metal, bo it iron "or sleel, brass or lead, ore cr wood." A Cairo, dispatch says; "The captain of the United States warship Tennessee engaged in carrying refugees, reports that when he was at Haifa recently, the authorities would not let him land, as a great popular festival was in progress to celebrate the crossing of the Suez canal by the Turkish troops. The principle of the festival was the beating through the streets of a cow representing Russia; a donkey, representing France, and a dog, representing England. Many of Them Wept at the Kindness Shown Them in Rotterdam In describing fhe arrival at Rotterdam of 100 British who had been incapacitated and are on their way home from German camps, the correspondent ot thi Daily Mail says: "The soldiers were welcomed by the Dutch officials and the Dutch civilians cheered them and loaded them with gifts of pipes, tobacco, cigars, chocolates and other luxuries, all of which were wrapped in the Dutch colors. Many of the soldiers wept at the kindnesses shown them. All were severely wounded, and tho injuries of many were terrible, Many of the men were or crutches, "All of the prisoners were most anxious to Know how the many German prisoners were treated in England, as their guards had told them that the prisoners had been abom inably IreateJ. The British prisoners I thought this was the reason for their rough treatment in the German camps. One non-commissioned officer said: " 'We were treated all right at the hospital, especially by the r.urses, but the fellows in the concentration I camp had an awful time, for on tlie i slightest complaint they were kicked, 1 while l'or a serious breach of diseip- I line they were tied to a post for : hours. The food, whicli was chiefly i beans, was of poor quality and small in quantity. The clothes were rags. i When the men protested that they [were starving they wen told: "Your ' friends in England have cut off your j food supply.' "This man confirmed the previous reports that the French prisoners were treated in tho most friendly manner, In striking contrast to the treatment of the British -prisoners."

As lio .lillli' Iii llli' (loot of Ravenspur's room the cry rose higher, Ho stoop.il nml then liis lingers touched something warm. "Marion," he said; "I eau cutoh the subtle fragrance of your hair." The girl swaiiiiwi'ii n scream, she was trembling from head lo foot with tear mul excitement, n was dark, the cry from within was despairing, the intense horror of it was dreadful. "Vos, yes," sho whispered hoarsely, "1 was lying awake uud I heard it. And that good old mnn told me today Uml his time was coming. I���I was going to rouse the house. The door is locked." "Do nothing of tin- sort. Stand aside." The voice was low but commanding, llurlon obeyed mechanically. With great strength uiul determination Ralph flung himself against the door. At I ho second assault the rusty iron bolt gave and the door flew open. Inside. Ravenspur lay on his lied. By his bedside a uightlight cast a feeble pallid ray. There was nobody in the room besides Ravenspur himself, lie lay back absolutely rigid, a yellow hue was over his fnce like a painted mask, his eyes wore wide open, his lips twitched convulsively. Evidently he was in somo kind of cataleptic lit and bis senses had not deserted him. Ile was powerless to move and made no attempt to do so. The man was choking to death and yet the limbs were rigid. A sickly sweet odor filled the room and caused Ralph to double up and gasp for breath, lt was as If the whole atmosphere was drenched with a finj spray of chloroform. Marion stood in the doorway like a fascinated white statue of fear and despair. "What Is it?" she whispered. "What is that, choking smell?" Ralph made no reply; he was holding his breath hard. There was a iiueer grinning smi.e on his face as lie turned towards the window. The fumbling clutching long hands rested for a moment on Ravenspur's forehead, and the next moment..there was a sound of smashing glass, as with his naked lists Ralph beat In the lozenge shaped windows. A quick cool draught of air rushed Ihrough the room, and the figure on the bed ceased to struggle. "Come in," said Ralph. "There Is no danger now." Marion entered. She was trembling from head lo foot; her face was like death. "What is it, what is it?" she cried. "Uncle Ralph, do vou know what it is?" "Thai is a mysery," Ralph replied. "There is some fiend at work here. I nnly guessed that the sickly odour .is the eduse of the mischief. You ire belter, sir?" Ravenspur was sitting up in bed. Tin color had i iiiiie back to his lips; lie iiii longer struggled io breathe, "I am nil right," lie said, Ills eyes | beamed affectionately mi Marion. i "Ever ready and ever quick, child, you ' savi d in; life from iii.it nameless . horror."

"You are blind, helpless; yet you were mi ihe spot instantly. Do you know anything of this, 1 say?" Ralph shook his head. "It was good luck," he said. "And how should I know anything? Ah. a I alone blind man is but a poor detective." V.et as Ralph passed to his strange quarters, there was a queer look on liis face. ��� Tbo long lean claws were crooked as if Ihey were fastened about the neck of some enemy, some foe to the death. "The hem of the mystery," he muttered. "Patience and prudence, and the day shall eome when 1 shall have nm whether thut man Is alive or dead."

It had a dingy face, woodwork painted a dark red with Ihe traditional brass knocker and bell pull. The windows were hung with curtains of the ordinary type, the Venetian blinds were half down, ���which in itself is a sign of middle- class respectability. In the centre of lhe red door was a small brass plate bearing tlu inline of Dr. Ser- gius Tehigorsky. Not that Dr. Tehigorsky was a medical practitioner iu the ordinary sense of the word. No neatly appointed "pillbox" ever stood before 101; no patient ever passed the threshold. Tehigorsky was a savant and a traveller to boot; a man who dealt in strange out-of-the-way things, and tlie interior of his house would have been a revelation to the top- hatted, frock-coated doctors and lawyers ami city men who elected to make their home in Brant street, W. The house was crammed with curiosities and souvenirs of travel from basement to garret. A large skylighted billiard-room at the back of the house had been turned into a library and laboratory eombined. And here, when not travelling, Tehigorsky spent all Iub time, seeing strange visitors from time to time, .Mongolians, Hindoos, natives of Tibet ���for Tehigorsky was one of the three men who had penetrated to the holy city of Lassa, and returned to tell the tale. The doctor came into his study from his 1 reakfast, and stood ruminating, rubbing his hand., before the fire. In ordinary circumstances he would have been a fine man of over six feet in height. Hut a cruel misfortune had curved j his spine, while his left leg dragged almost helplessly behind him. his hands were drawn up as If the I muscles had been cut and then knot- I ted up again. ��� Tehigorsky had entered Lassa live years ago as a god who walks up- ) right. When he reached the frontier six mouths later he was the wreck ! he slill remained. And of those pri- j vatlons and sufferings Tulilgorsky I said nothing. Hut there were times | when bis eves gleamed and his breath ] came short and he pined for the vengeance yet lo b nis. As lo his face, it. was singularly j strong and Intellectual. Yet it was i disllgured with deep seams checkered i like a chessboard. We have .seen something like It before, for the marks wera identical wtih those that disllgured Ralph Ravenspur and made his face n horror to look upon. A young man rose from the table where he 'as making som: kind of an experiment. He was a fresh- colored Englishman, George Abell by name, and lu. esteemed 1: a privilege to call himself Tchigorsky's secretary. "Always early and always busy," Tehigorsky said. "Is there anything In the morning papers that is likely to interest me, Abell?" "1 fancy so," Abell replied thoughtfully. "You arc interested in the Ravenspur case?" A lurid light leapt Into the Russian's eyes. He seemed to he strangely moved, lie paced up and down the room, dragging his maimed limb after blm. "Never more interested in anything in my life," he said. "You know ns much of my past as any man, but there are matters, experiences unspeakable. My face, my ruined frame. Whence come these cruel misfortunes? That secret will go down with me to the grave. Of that I could speak to one man alone, and I "Impossible. Thnt man und myself made a most hazardous expedition in search uf dreadful knowledge. That formula we found. For the purposes of safety we divided it. And then we were discovered. Of what followed I dure not speak; I dare not even think. "1 escaped i'rom my dire peril, but 1 cannot hope that my comrade was so fortunate. He must be dead. And, without him, 1 am us powerless as Ifl knew nothing. I hnve no proof; Yet I know quite well who is responsible for lliose murders ut Ravenspur." Abell stared at his chief iu astonishment, He know Tehigorsky too well to doubt the evidence of his simple word. The Russian was too strong a man to boast. "You cannot understand," he said. "It is impossible ,to understand without the inner knowledge that 1 possess, and even my knowledge is not perfect. Were 1 lo tell the part I know I should he hailed from one end of Kngland to the other us a madman. I should he imprisoned for malignant slander. Hut if the other man turned up���if only the other man should turn up!" Tehigorsky broke inlo a rambling reverie again. When he emerged to mundane once more he ordered Abell to read the paragrapli relating to the latest phase of the tragedy of the lost Ravenspur. "It runs," said Abell, " 'Another Strange Affair at Ravenspur Castle. The mystery of this remarkable case still thickens. Late on Wednesday night Mr. Rupert Ravenpur, the head of the family, was awakened by a choking sensation and a total loss of breath. On attempting to leave his bed, the unfortunate gentleman found himself unable to move.

This gentleman burst open his father's door, and noticing the peculiar, pungent odour, had the good sense to break a window and admit air into the room.
