The Sorcerer «of St. Giles By PROF. WILLIAM H. PECK. CHAPTER XVIII. (Continued.) “I thought he was dead,” said Clar- ence. ‘For some months I believed he was dead. Had you mentioned his name to me, I should have been upon my guard.” “You never spoke of him when we lived at Bradford.” “No: because I dared not. He had spics seeking me everywhere then. But of how I discoyered that you were here I have not told you.” i “No; and while you tell me. we will eat, for you must be famished,” said Halen. “I can tell you in a few words,” said Clarence, “though some time I will tell you all the particulars. I traced you from London to Liverpool, thence to Dublin. thence to Galway. I ar- rived at Galway day before yesterday. At the inn where I stopped I chanced- to hear several persons speaking cf the sudden death of a bride at the al- tar, on March 30th. I made at first a careless inquiry, and nearly swooned with dismay when I heard that the name of the bride was Helen Beau- clair!” “@h, my poor, dear Clarence,” sigh- ed Helen. “{ made more and more eager in- quiries. Some said you had commit- ted suicide. Othere denied it, saying that physicians had declared you had ® spasm of the heart. An old woman, affected by my agitation, told me enough to arouse my. suspicions that Zeno Sosia was not dead; but that, disguised as a pew opener, he had given you a note, which you read im- mediately before you fell as if dead. The old woman had picked. up and preserved the note. She said it was only.a blank piece of brown paper. She gave it to me, and I recognized a peculiar kind of paper—one of the cunning inventions of the sorcerer. Anything written upon it remains vis- ible but for a few moments; being heated the faded characters will reap- pear. I heated the paper. I read, as if written by my own hands, these words: ‘Swallow the pellet, and with- in five days you shall be.in the arms of one who loves you—Clarence.’ Then I knew that Sosia was alive; that you had taken his trance pellet. It was very late at night when I made the discovery. I asked the old woman to lead me to a magistrate. She com- plied. and on our way to find one we met an old beggar who was acrony of hers. He took her aside and whis- pered something about a grave rob- bery from the vault of St. Mary’s chap- el. I had already learaed that your body was there. I spoke with the beg- gi and he told me, after much hesi- tation, that he had seen several men carry away an encased coffin, after leaving another just like it in its place; that over three hours had elap- sed since then, and that the robbers were going to Barna. { hurried off to Barna, with the beggar for my guide. There I learned that a boat, containing seven men and a_ great chest, had departed thence already over an hour, and that Dun Aengus cliff was their destination. A storm had begun, and no one would accom- pany me. I hired a small sail boat and began my pursuit, amid storm and darkness.” “Ah, devoted. daring, reckless Clar- ence!” exclaimed Helen, embracing her lover. “To rescue you, dear Helen, fT wouid dare a thousand tempests in one!” re- plted Clarence, returning the caress. I knew these old ruins and their hid- ing places. well, I thought, and I hoped to be in the building before Sosia and his party could arrive. But the storm baffied me and finally cast me ashore at the base of Dun Aengus cliff, as 1 have already told you--and most of my aftcradventures you know, or shall learn hereafter. “But have you exam- ined the packet I gave you?” “Not much, for my heart was with you in that dreadful passage all the ‘dme you were away,” replied Helen. “There is a broken-sealed packet in it, addressed to some Galway magistrate. I did not break the seal.” Clarence opened the larger packet, and as his eyes fell upon the address of the broken-sealed package he start- ed and exclaimed : “This is the handwriting of Zeno Sosia!” The packet was that of which Sosia had spoken of to Lord Genlis, and which the sorcerer had left with a Gal- way magistrate, to be opened at the end of a certain number of days, if within that time no one were to call for the packet. Lord Genlis had told Sosia that his agent in Galway had stolen the pack- et from the magistrate ere it had been in the possession of the latter an hour, and that he had destroyed it, after learning its contents. Lord Genlis, however, “had not de- stroyed it, and it was now in Clarence Darrell’s possession—a full statement of the intended villainy of Lord Oscar Genlis and his son, Capt. Wilford Os- red, and Zeno Sosia. The sorcerer, However, had taken the wise precaution to select as a keeper of this perilous confession a magistrate of undoubted integrity—a gentleman who would sooner have taken his own life than violate a seal- ed communication entrusted to his care. Sosia would have lost no time after prostrating the Osreds in retaining possession of this packet had he for an. instant suspected that Lord Gen- lis was speaking falsely when saying it was destroyed. That Lord Genlis should have lost no time in destroying it as soon as it got into his hands seemed most untloubtedly true to So- sia, who certainly, under similar cir- cumstances, would have destroyed it. Lord Genlis had retained it for this reason—the latter part of the com- munication told where the private pa- pers of the sorcerer could be found in his house in London, and those papers Lord Genlis believed would be of great value. There was no mention made of Clar- ence Darrell nor of Helen’s love for him, in the contents of the packet. Sosia’s sole purpose in writing what he had, and in leaving it with the Gal- way magistdate, was to destroy the Osreds, if they succeeded in silencing him—as he shrewdly suspected they might attempt to do—and to use the fact as a shield against their violence, were he to detect danger from them in time to menace them with the exist- ence of this confession. And in the event of his death by the hands of the Osreds, not only would their villainy be revealed by the confession, when the packet should be read by the mag- istrate, but the private papers in Lon- don—pointed out by the confession— would reveal the names of many per- sons with whom Sosia had been con- nected in dark deeds during his life of secret crime. “If I perish,” was the thought of the vindictive sorcerer, “many a gentle- man and many a lady, whose heads are high now, shall mourn my death. My sting shall poison their pride and peace even from my grave. The stakes for which I play my Dun Aengus game are worth all the risks I may incur. Five thousand pounds from the Os- reds, if they do not play me false; a hold upon them which they can never shake off—twenty thousand pounds will I extort from their fears and crime, after the wealth of Helen Beauciair is in their hands; fresh vex- ation for the heart of Robert de La- vet, cheated of his rich bride; revenge, too, upon Lady Ida Beauclair, for her seorn of years ago, and agony for the soul of Clarence Darrell, who so loves this beautiful girl. Riches and re- venge are in my scheme, and if I per- ish, I leave woe and ruin after me! And still, I do not think these Osreds will dare harm me, if I see’ fit to tell them of what I have written, and with whom I jeave it. Within less than two days I shall reclaim the writing of Justice Lynch, who would sooner cut his own throat—the fool—than violate a trust!” And now, at Dun Aengus, the sor- cerer knew that the packet was no lenger in the magistrate’s hands, or else Lork Genlis would never have dazed attempt to delay Sosia’s depart- ure, after hearing his menace, and not doubting that it was destroyed utter- ly, he was in no haste to leave Dun Aengus: ; Clarence told Helen the purport of the confession, and she related to him all that she could recall of the words spoken by the Osreds and Sosia ‘in her presence. “So,” said Clarence, carefully fold- ing up the packet and placing it in"his bosom, “Lord Genlis lied. He did not destroy the confession of Sosia. I have it here, and it may be of use to me hereafter. But let. me read these letters, which are signed ‘W. 0/— doubtless letters of Capt. Osred to Lord Genlis.” ; Clarence having read the letters to himself, remarked: “I-Know ‘now why Lady Ida Beau- clair took you to Galway. She must have been alarmed by an anonymous note, written by Sosia, stating that her former lover, Oscar Osred, had a plan afoot for the abduction of your- self, to marry you by force to his son, the captain; also that you were about to elope with a young man of great daring—meaning me, though my name is not mentioned in the ietters, norjin Sosia’s confession.. Lord de Lavet was also ‘to be deceived. He was to per- suade Lady Ida to hurry you to Gal- way. The whole affair appears to have been a plot of Sosia’s, in which he made tools of Lady Ida, Lord de Lavet, yourself and the Osreds, to serve his own ends. By means of your wealth the Osreds hoped to purchase a recall from exile for Lord Genlis, and the restoration of the Genlis es- tate, now held by the crown; also.the pardon of Wilford Osred for gambling away the funds of his regiment. You now perceive why they were so des- perately eager to make you Mrs. Wil- ford Osred—and by the tone of the captain's letters I think your beauty had also greatly charmed him.” “Why, I never saw him till I saw him yesterday!" said Helen. “But fle had seen you. He was the man who, in the garb of a sailor, tried to pull off your hood,” The ruffian with a patch over one eye whom you knocked down? I thought it was he yesterday!” Y “The same. But he is dead and we wil} speak no more of him. Let us speak of ourselves. To-night I shall go to Kilronan.” As Clarence uttered these last words | deaf in death arrived within sound of | his voice. It was now nearly night, and the sorcerer, having seen and heard all that he could in the building, had con- cluded that it was about time to steal down to his listening place behind the leaning slab in the lovers’ ¢ave to find out what his “two charming inno- cents” were doing or plotting. He reached his covert as noiseless- ly, as a serpent crawls, and just in time to hear Clarence say: “To-night I shall go to Kilronan.” CHAPTER XIX. Clarence Departs. “Oh,” thought the sorcerer, night he is going to Kilronan! just in time to hear his plans!” And crouching like a great toad in the mouth of the passage behind the leaning stone, he strained his ears to hear more. He had little need to strain his ears, for Clarence spoke clearly and in a distinct tone. “And you must leave me here alone again, dear Clarence?” exclaimed Hel- en, cowering close to her lover's side. It was not a very pleasant place to be left alone in. Night had already begun, and but for the light of a lamp, and a candle which burnt upon that rock which had served the lovers for a table as they ate, the interior of the cave would have been as dark: as a sealed tomb. “You need fear nothing, my dear girl,” replied Clarence, kissing her. “Capt. Osred is dead, and their fierce henchman, Bashfort, is dead, too;and, best of all, Zeno Sosia, the most to be feared of all, is dead!” “Ah, is he?” thought the listening sorcerer, grinning exultantly behind the slab. “If that wily wretch were alive,” continued Clarence, “I should not dare to leave your.side a moment. If [had not heard his dying groans in the well shaft and actually witnessed his buri- al, as it were, I should not leave you. But all our enemies in Dun Aengus are dead except Lord Genlis and the wom- an Martha, and I shall soon , learn whether they are still above ‘or not. But, in either case, you need not fear that you will be molested here. Ishall go to Kilronan to-night. It is a mere hamlet now,orwas three years ago, not having recovered from the disas- ters it received during the Cromwell- ian wars. It is not more than two miles from Dun Aengus—though Dun Aengus is as seldom visited by the superstitious peasants and fishermen of Aranmore island as if the cliff were a hundred miles away. I hope to be back here before to-morrow’s dawn. Now that Bashfort and Capt. Osred are dead, we shall not be forced to remain here so long as I feared. When I was at Kilronan three years ago, I saved the life of an old fisherman there, and if he is still living there he will aid me to procure a good and safe sailboat. As soon as I shall have se- cured the boat I shall return here for you, and then, together, we will de- part from Dun Aengus and for Gal- way.” “For Galway? Ah! doubtless my mother and Lord de Lavet are still there! They may see us and part us again” exclaimed Helen, alarmed by the thought. “They will not part us again, dear Helen,” replied Clarence, agccompany- ing his encouraging words with a kiss, whose soft sound nearly made. the lis- tening sorcerer grind his teeth with jealous rage. “I will find.some cler- gyman in Galway,” continued Clar- ence, “whom I will persuade to make us man and wife within an hour after we arrive there.” “Oh, how fast this daring beggar trots!” thought the sorcerer. “Then, with you on my arm as my wife, dear Helen,” continued Clarence, with another kiss that nearly drove the hidden sorcerer wild, “I will seek for your mother and my father.” (To Be Continued.) “to: Tam SO STRONG THEY’RE WEAK. Little Permanent Good Effected by Sumptuary Laws, Indiana, Wisconsin, Nebraska and a few other Western states have laws directed against the smoking of cigar- ettes. Bills of the same sort have een before several states in the same section, including Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota. In most cases thes laws are so strong that they are weak. They are so sweeping and so harsh that the offenders are taking their cases to the higher courts with the hope of having them declared uncon- stitutional. These enactments, most of which are recent, are a manifesta- tion of the radical spirit which aims to reform people by statute or by in- timidation, whch often breaks out in the West. F Kansas has prohibition, but Carrie Natior. thought it was evaded, and she set out with her hatchet to perform in her own way, and without compensa- tion ,a work which the potice and the courts, in a totally different sort of a way, were paid to do, but which she said they neglected to do. Ostensibly the anti-cigarette laws are in, the in- terest of public health and the public morals. So was the whisky “barrel smashing crusade started by the wom- en of Hillsborough, Ohio, a third of a century ago, of which Carrie Nation’s outbreak is a belated eruption. Some- times these crusades de good for a time. Usually, however, they run their course quickly, and leave soci- ety just about as they found it.—Les- lie’s Weekly.

In line with the classic case of the oyster shippers, cited by President ron Railroad Transportation, is the case of the Aroostook potato growers brought by President Tuttle of the Boston and Maine Railroad before the Senate Committee on Interstate Com. merce. Nothing could better show how a railroad works for the interest of the localities which it serves. A main dependence of the farmers of the Aroostook region is the potato crop, aggregating annually eight to ten million bushels, which find a mar- ket largely in Boston and the adjacent thickly settled regions of New Eng- land. The competition of cheap water transportation from Maine to all points along the New England coast keeps railroad freight rates on these pota- toes always at a very low level. Potatoes are also a considerable out- put of the truck farms of Michigan, their normal market being obtained in and through Detroit and Chicago and other communities of that region. Not many years ago favoring sun and rains brought a tremendous yield of potatoes from the Michigan fields At normal rates and prices there would have been a glut of the custom- ary markets and the potatoes would have rotted on the farms. To help the potato growers the railroads from Mi@higan made unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes to every reachable market, even in carrying them in large quantities to a place so remote as Bos- ton. The Aroostook growers had to reduce the price on their potatoes and even then could not dispose of them unless the Boston and Main Railroad reduced its already low rate, which it did. By means of these low rates, making possible low prices, the potato crops of both Michigan and Maine were finally marketed. Everybody eats potatoes, and that year every- body had all the potatoes he wanted. While the Michigan railroads made rates that would have been ruinous to the railroads, had they been applied to the movement of all potatoes at’ all times, to all places, they helped their patrons to find markets then. The Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a decrease in its revenue from potatoes, but it enabled the Aroostook farmers to market their crops and thereby to obtain money which they spent for the varied supplies which the railroads brought to them. If the making of rates were subject to governmental adjustment such radical and prompt action could never have been taken, because it is well established that if a rate be once reduced by a railroad company it cannot be restored through the red tape of governmental proce- dure. If the Michigan railroads and the Boston and Maine Railroad had been subjected to governmental limi- tations they would have felt obliged to keep up their rates as do the railroads of France and England and Germany under governmental limitation and let the potatoes rot.—E xchange. MAKING A NEW NOSE. Modern Method Used in Constructive Surgery. Suppose it is a nose that the sur- geon must construct. He makes a pear-shaped incision in his patient’s forehead, and with a chisel splits a thin plate of bone from the frontal ‘bone, which plate he fractures at the base. To the raw side of this flap he grafts skin to forn®the lining of the nose. The plate of bone is broken down the middle to make the bridge of the nose, the flap trimmed to the de- sired shape, and then this new nose set into place and sutured there. Ver- tical slits are made in the scalp over the ears, which enables the edges of the forehead wound to be drawn to- gether and sutured, so that only a thin scar remains. This operation, describ- ed in four sentences, requires weeks, even months, for its completion. The new nose will not attract artist or sculptor, and its owner will be wise to do his fighting by proxy, but it is far better than none at all—Leslie’s Mag- azine. The Great Divide.

Kushequa, Pa., July 10.—(Special)— In this section of Pennsylvania there is a growing belief that for such Kid- ney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame Back there is only one sure cure and that is Dodd’s Kidney Pills. This belief grows from such cases as that of Mrs. M. L. Davison of this place. She tells the story herself as follows: “I have suffered from Rheumatism for thirty years and find that Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done me more good #han any medicine I have ever taken. I was also bothered with Lame Back and I can only say that my back hasn't bothered me since I took Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills.” Considering that Mrs. Davison only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the result would be considered wonder- ful if it were not that others are re- porting similar results daily. Kushe- qua is fast arriving at a verdict that “Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the one sure cure for Rheumatism.” A pupil in a Lynn, Mass., school was asked by his teacher to give the defi- nition of a vacuum. “I can’t just de- scribe it,” he said, “but I have it in my head.”’—Lippincott's.

The parting words of a barber are “Which side, please?” Hadley of Yale University in his book Location of the Poultry House. —-~ ane best location zor a poultry house is on a slight elevation which will insure good drainage. Many fail- ures come from the use of low, wet locations. I know of several poultry raisers that have failed completely from the unfortunate location of their poultry houses. Inf one case at least hundreds of dollars had been invested in a brooder house. The drainage was so bad that the house was half over- flowed in the winter just when it was to have been used for the develop- ment of broilers. Wet seems to be particularly injurious to barnyard fowls. Even ducks do not do well it compelled to live in damp quarters, though they like water to swim in. I have noticed that in the case of the poor location of the poultry house it has been almost always a matter of choice rather than of necessity. The location was made as it was simply because it seemed to be the only loca- tion near the house or that would meet the requirements of artistic arrange- ments. Of course it is not pleasant to have the poultry house located at a long distance from the residence, but that is better than failure where much money has been invested in a poultry raising outfit—Sophia Belknap, Allan Co., Ind., in Farmers’ Review. Exhibition Games. All game fowl’ are divided into two classes, the Pit games and the Exhi- bition games. Both have been popu- jar for a long time, not particularly because of their fighting qualities but because of their laying qualities, their vigor and their plumage. It has taken many generations of breeding to bring them to their present high state of perfection, The beauty of the game is a first attraction at a poultry show, and it is doubtful if they have any superiors as ornamental fowls. To what extent they compare with other breeds as egg layers has not yet been demonstrated, though they are not considered to be a fowl suitable to general farm purposes. They are considered by their friends excellent table fowls, their meat being fine- grained, tender and juicy. They are good sitters and attentive mothers. They are divided into about ten gen- eral varieties, Free Range. Whatever the fancier may do or the professional chicken raiser may do, the farmer needs to give his poultry free range during as much of the year as he can. In this way he takes advan- tage of the conditions that favor him above the specialist in poultry culture. His fowls will thus be able to pick up a large part of their living. This is not all the advantage of free range. The fowls that have free range do not require the expenditure in labor that yarded fowis require. There is no necessity of having a regular sys- tem of feeding or of spading under polluted ground. The farmer may thus keep a large number of hens with lit- tle expenditure in labor in the spring, summer and fall. Free range is there- fore to be used to its fullest possible extent. ‘The fowls as bug catchers and as gleaners in the harvest fields are earning their living and paying for the privilege. Stick to the Standards. To a man going into the breeding of fowls for farm use we would say, stick to the standard breeds and the oldest ones at that. The later varie- ties have been created by out-crosses to get the color or some particular shape and have not the staying power that we find in the older fowls. The farmer wants a fowl that will come true to breed each time and that will not be constantly throwing sports. There is a mania at this time for cre- ating new breeds, and some of these are only crosses. By constantly cross- ing we get new breeds, but we rather impede the work of real improvement by introducing a multiplicity of factors into the breeding. The farmer that wants to breed up his flock would do better to take a male of some breed that has been established for a long time than to take a male of some breed that has just come to public notice. Poultry in Confinement. While on the farm it is not desirable to keep poultry confined, yet it is pos- sible to make a profit out of fowls con- fined, as has been demonstrated again and again. In fact some of the men that have made the most money out of fowls have followed no other method. When large numbers of fowls are raised, confinement becomes a neces- sity. A farmer could have a few hun- dred fowls ranging over his land, he could not have a few thousand thus ranging and keep in business. For a time fowls will do as well in confine- ment as on the range, but this cannot be continued indefinitely, as high feed- {ing and no exercise leads to diseases of some of the organs that have a part in digestion and assimilation. Infertile eggs taken from the in- cubator need not be thrown away. They can be boiled and used for chick feed. Hay Bones. While visiting at her grand- father’s farm a short time ago, a 4-year-old city girl, upon seeing her uncle throwing out the cornstalks the cows had left in the manger, ex- claimed, “Oh, papa, see. what a big pile of hay bones Uncle Joe is throwing out.” Back aches all the time.

Avoid the Cheap and “Big Can” Bak- ing Powders. The cheap baking powders have but one recommendation: they certainly give the purchaser plenty of powder for his mony. These powders are so carelessly made from inferior ma- terials that they will not make light, wholesome food. Further, these cheap baking powders have a very all per- centage of leavening gas; therefore it takes from two to three times as much of such powder to raise the cake or biscuit as it does. of Calumet Baking Powder. Therefore, in the long rua, the actual cost to the consumer of such powders is more than Calumet ‘would be. Cheap baking powders leave the bread sometimes bleached and acid, sometimes yellow and alka- line, and always unpalatable. They are never of uniform strength and quality. . Why not buy a perfectly wholesome baking powder like Calumet, that is at the same,/time moderate in price and one which can be relied upon? Calu- met is always the same, keeps indef- initely and gives the cook the least trouble. Fickle Woman.

One in Wyoming Is 186 Feet From Butress to Butress. “A great natural bridge is situated twenty miles southwest of Douglass, Wyo., where La Prele creek breaks through the foothilfs of the Laramie mountains,” said Robert Jacobson of » Butte, Mont. “In span of arch it ex- ceeds anything of its kind in the known world. From buttress to but- tress the bridge is 180 feet, and, the highest part of the arch is about 75 feet above the water. The arch fs al-* most as perfect as if built by man’s hands instead of formed by the action of water. The stream here flows, or rather tumbles and pitches, through a narrow, ragged canyon about 1,000 feet in depth. Near the lower end of the gorge a ledge or wall of solid rock, about 150 feet in height, stretches right across the canyon. In time long past the water has plunged over the top of this rock wall, which was then a nautral dam, but finally the water found its way underneath, and the re sult is the bridge.”—Milwaukee Free Press. WANTED TO SLEEP Curious That a Tired Preacher Shoula Have Such Desire. A minister speaks of the curious ef- fect of Grape Nuts food on him and how it has relieved him. “You will doubtless understand how the suffering with indigestion with which I used to be troubled made my _work an almost unendurable burden, and why it was that after my Sabbath duties had been performed, sleep w2s a stranger to my pillow till nearly day- light. ‘ “I had to be very careful as to what I ate, and even with all my care I ex: perienced poignant physical distress after meals, and my food never satis- fied me. “Six months have elapsed since I began to use Grape-Nuts food, and the ¢ benefits I have derived from it are very definite. Ino longer suffer from indigestion, and I began to improve from the time Grape-Nuts appeared on our table. I find that by eating a dish of it after my Sabbath work is done (and I always do so now) my nerves are quicted and rest and refreshing sleep are ensured me. I feel that I could not possibly do without Grape Nuts food, now that I know its value. It is invariably on our table—we feel that we need it to complete the meal —and our children will eat Grape Nuts when they cannot be persuaded to touch anything else.” Name giver by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
