SAL DIAMONDS IN UNITED STATES. Discovered in Four Regions—Place of Origin Unknown, Never before in the history of the United States has. there been such a demand fer the diamonds as there was in 1905. Large quatities were import- od, but the country produced none. In 1903 it produced diamonds to the value of $50, in 1901 it had an output worth $100, and in 1900 its production v valued at $150, and in 1899 the country boasted native diamonds to the value of $300. Diamonds have been discovered in the United States in four different re- gions, but their actual place of origin is in every case unknown. All have been found in loose and superficial de- posits and all accidentally. It is not at all improbable, however, that some day the original sources of this queen of gems may be discovered. The high price of diamonds has made the recent search for these precious stones in the United States and Canada keener than ever before. A careful watch for diamonds was kept during the examination by the United States geological survey of many samples of gold and platinum sands at the Lewis and Clark exposi- tion in Portland, Or. A lookout for diamonds has also been kept by a number of people who have been dredging for gold on an ex- tensive scale in the rivers of Califor- nia. In neither case have any finds been reported.—Scientific American. 4 SALLOW FACES Often Caused by Coffee Drinking. How many persons realize that cof- fee so disturbs digestion that it pro- duces a muddy, yellow complexion? A ten days’ trial of Postum Food Coffee has proven a means, in thou- sands of cases, of clearing up bad complexions. A Washn. young lady tells her expe- rience: “All of us—father, mother, sister and brother—had used tea and coffee for many years until finally we all had stomach troubles more or less. “We were all sallow and trout.ed with pimples, breath bad, disagree- able taste in the mouth, and all of us simply so many bundles of nerves. “We didn’t realize that coffee was the cause of the trouble until one day we ran out of coffee and went to bor- row some from a neighbor. She gave us some Postum and told us to try that. “Although we started to make it, we all felt sure we would be sick if we missed our strong coffee, but we were foreed to try Postum and were surprised to find it delicious. “We read the statements on the pkg., got more and in a month and a | half you wouldn’t have known us. We were all able to digest our food without any trouble, each one’s skin became clear, tongues cleaned off and nerves in fine condition. We never use anything now but Postum. There is nothing like it” Namie given by Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich. Read the little book, “The Road to Wellville.” “There’s a reason.” Mrs. A.

He swung the safe door on its hinges and sprang across the room with one leap, like something hunted. It took her breath away, the movement was so strange, so terrifying. He seemed as if he would have pushed past her and dashed out of the room, but as he came into the fuller light, and saw her face in it, he changed again as alarmingly. He gave a smothered exclamation and fell back against the wall behind him as sudden- ly as if he had staggered there. His whole look, his whole manner, was as full of alarm and amazement as if he had seen a ghost stand between him and his flight. It was, indeed, the 4 ghost of his Indian past—the girl whose face had once seemed to him, as it shown from the veranda of a night-bound bungalow, like the radiant face of perfect womanhood. It struck him helpless, as nothing else on earth could have done. He lost his wits in that overwhelming moment of recognition. He drew him- self up sharp and flat against the wall, and put out his hand behind him to steady himself; he could no more have passed her to reach the door in that moment of horror than he could have passed through without opening it. Ursula saw his evident terror with dismay and surprise. “Noel, why do you look so odd? You are ill—what can it be? Oh, my poor boy; don’t look like that at me! Sit down—sit here!” She ran forward, forgetting all their estrangement, all her doubts of him, in her fear and distress at his strange look. She pushed a chair to his side and tried to pull him down into it. “You feel ill; what is it? What is it? What can I do?” she kept re- peating, hanging over him with a ter- ror of she knew not what. He sank into the chair, more as if he did not know what he was doing than because he obeyed voluntarily. His eyes had still their wide stare of amazement, of horror. Then suddenly he tried to scramble to his feet again. “Don’t get up—don’t move; let me get you something.” He only made an jnaudible mutter, and turned his head , away. It cut her to the heart to see it. “Noel, is it because you are angry with me?” she asked with a whisper. “I was wrong—!I know it now—I was unjust to you. Forgive me dear.” She was bending down close to him —her face was close to his own. Sud- denly, with almost violence, he caught her to him, a wild, rough movement, such as Noel had never been capable of. It startled her—even while she felt her heart leap at the return of his old fondness.. She smiled, half trem- plingly, and let him crush her close to him—but as she looked down she re- coiled. “Noel! What have you done to your hands? How dreadful! Why, they are hurt, and bruised, and soiled. They are not your hands. They are some one else’s.” Her head was just touching his shoulder and she tore herself from him with a sound that was almost a shriek. She wrenched herself away from his suddenly slack- ened clasp, and stared up into his face with horror-stricken eyes. “Noel —why, it is not you! It is not you! What is it? Oh, what is it?” Sheer terror and bewilderment struck her like a blow. “What is it?” she repeated, pale to her lips. Then at last she came to herself, after that moment of unreal rapture. He flung himself past her and dashed out through the hall with flying steps. The orderly stood near the door and saluted, stepping for- ward to let hii out. neither look nor word as the hurrying figure went out into the night. Ursula stood where he had left her —stunned, speechless, in the empty room. She looked round her with that vague instinct the reaction from a shock leaves behind it, as if to assure herself that she was still in a world that she knew. The safe door had closed, but a bunch of keys still swung from the keyhole. The light was shaded; the room was empty. She could almost have thought it was a dream. She crept back to the drawing room, feeling chilled and afraid. What was it—what could be this mysterious horror that made her feel as if the foundations of the earth had rocked beneath her? Was it an apparation she had seen—Noel’s wraith? Kt seemed almost.as if she could believe it to be so. Out in the night, through the dark deserted streets there fled a man in the uniform of an officer, with one hand held fast against his breast. He neither halted nor slackened his speed all along the many back ways that led him to the place he set before him as his destination. He doubled and twisted like a hunted hare, listen- ing, as he fled, for the sounds of puz- suit. None came to his ear, yet there was a flitting shadow that followed wherever he went. The society did not leave its instruments to work out their deeds unwatched, unguarded. The papers might remain with him till he put them in security—if they were taken, it should be on the tool, wot on the authors of his crime; when they were safe, it would be time enough’to filing him off. i lodging some | Captain’s Double By .LILLIAS CAMPBELL DAVIDSON There was, is plain speaking. If you have an ex- > | planation to offer, heaven knows how him, and, breathless, he hurried into the room above. A man with a griz- zled beard stood smiling before him, an eager gleam in his sharp eyes. The man in the officer’s uniform tore from the front of his red waistcoat.a bundle of thin papers and thrust them into the outstretched hand. “Take the confounded things! and get me out of the country, now, or I’ll wring your in- fernal neck!” The other grasped the packet with triumph in his face. ‘You have done what you were allowed to go on living for, my friend. You may go now as soon as you like. There is no more use for you. This will blow into atoms more worlds than one.” “But you must get me out of this! I may be nabbed before I can get out of the town.” Again the man with the beard smiled. “The Southampton road is an easy one,” he said, composedly. “You had better go along it for as many stations as you feel inclined before you take the workmen’s train. Many steam- boats start from that port for foreign places; to-morrow—let me see,—yes, to-morrow is the mail for the Cape. You had better take that. There is comfortable accommodation in the sec- ond class—and you can be bound for the diamond mines. You may find it useful to shave that mustache of yours, and to darken your hair and eyebrows. You will have money given you for your passage, and you will find plenty to pick up out at the Cape.” “Is that all I am to get for to-night’s work? Why, confound you, if I'd known that I would have let those pa- pers lie and rot!” “No, no, my friend, you would not. You forget.there was another price to them. You would have taken a longer journey than to the Cape if you had not ‘been advised by me. Come, be reasonable. You have more than you earned, as it is. The Cape or nothing—you can take which you wish.” When the grey dawn struggled through the darkness it found a man in a somewhat shabby suit of clothes, his head bent, his hat low over his forehead, tramping along the South- ampton road. He looked neither to the right nor tothe left, except to glance up at the sign posts. He cov- ered the ground. with a steady swing that betrayed a drilled step. Still in his ears there rang the sound that hag been there like strange music ever since it first fell upon his sense—the sound of a girl’s voice with tenderness in it, as the touch of her form lingered still against his heart. He had seen her again; for one wild moment she had been, his own—had believed her- self so. The radiant lady of his dreams—the girl who had been to him like an angel from heaven—who had saved him from disgrace and punish- ment. He drew his hand slowly from his pocket and looked ot it with won- dering eyes. It had brushed her soft hair as she leant against him—he could recall the curious silken feel of it; he looked now at his hand as if he expected to find it transformed. The same grey dawn lit up Ursula’s white face as she sat in Mrs. Field- ing’s carriage driving back from Gov- ernment House. She was silent and pale, and Mrs. Fielding thought she must still feel unwell and left her to herself. It fell, too, on a figure still dressed in uniform, staggering home, bewildered and sore, through the streets where it had found itself lying —it knew not why or how, There was no memory to guide it—no idea of what had befallen—only a sense that it was out in the cold and the open and must find its way home. And in the office of Government House there were alarm and conster- nation and incredulity, for the gener- al’s safe was found open and papers carefully kept there were gone. The general stood before it, his face grave, his lips set, his brow troubled. It was not the loss of the papers alone—that was serious enough, but not so serious as the rest. Fer from the door still dangled a bunch of keys—the keys that his aide-de-ccamp had in trust. What had he eben doing with the se- erets of his general? And where had he taken them? CHAPTER XXV. Disarace. “T would as soon have suspected my own gon, Winstanley, by heaven, I would!” General Kenyon wore a look of grief that no one had ever seen on his strong face. “I trusted you; you know how you have been trusted, how we treated you like a boy of our own. And now this—this scandal, I can’t speak of it! I feel as if the shame were my own!” Winstanley stood before him, white. and furious. “If any one but yourself said such words to me, sir, I should know how to answer them. I never expected to have to listen to them from you. You say—you and Mrs. Kenyon—and yet now you can hint at such an iniquit as I am ashamed to put into words.” “It is not hinting, unfortunately. It “ing of the kind. have treated me like your son, as you |" gladly I will hear it. I would give my right hand to get back the opinion of you I Md yesterday. . But the facts are these. The papers aré gone. You are aware, as well as I myself, that they are only the rough draft, and that the finished copies went up to the war Office weeks ago. But even so they mean a loss to the country that can- not be repaired. They mean more— shame and disgrace to the man who had the safe charge of them, and by whom they have been stolen.” Win- stanley made a start forward and flung his head back. The general met his indignant gaze steadily and sor- rowfully. “Yes; there is no other right word for it. They have been stolen as frankly as if my pocket had been picked. If an angel from heaven had told me, I should have laughed in his face. Yet you took them from my safe, which you never opened ex- cept by my orders, and you refuse now to acknowledge the fact.” “I can only repeat, sir, that you of- fer me an insult by the very sugges: tion, that should have been spared me by my superior officer—even if he had not been my father’s friend!” “But, good gracious, man—what do you mean? You were seen to come back to this house after we had left it for that fool dance at Admiralty House. You passed the orderly in the hall going in and out—and the porter at the lodge—they both recognized you and saJuted. Miss Hamilton saw you; I suppose you don’t cast doubt upon her word?” “Miss Hamilton!” His tone was so genuinely astonished and dismayed that the general shot a sharp glance at him. If the facts were not so be- yond ail contradiction, one would have said he was speaking truth. The real- ization of the depths of duplicity in his old friend’s son stung him to the quick. “Yes; she left the dance because she was unwell, and came on here to rest. She saw you in the office. She has told me that much. You must know best why she refuses to say more even to me.” “Shesaw me! Great Heavens! she must have dreamed it!” “I wish we all had dreamed!” said General Kenyon, in a grave voice. “Winstanley, there is not the least ground for a denial. Why preserve the useless attempt? You refused to accompany myself and my wife to Admiralty House, and went out at an But hour that precluded your having meant to go there at all.” “T had a call to make, sir, upon Countess Ilka Zulafski.” ; “Ah, those confounded foreigners! I never knew any good come of one of them. Countess Ilka acknowledges that you went to her house that even- ing, but only for a moment or two. You left after a quarter of an hour or so, and her servants eorrobrate the statement. From there you returned here, after some little delay.” “I swear to you, sir, that I did noth- I went home to my rooms and to bed.” “At what time?” The general look- ed at him sharply; he already knew from the landlady what time it was. Winstanley colored. “It must, have been nearly morning , sir. It was toe late then to go to Admiralty House and I felt unwell.” “And where had you been during the time that it is declared by threa witnesses you spent in this house?” “T don’t know; that is what I cannoy say. I went to Countess Ilka Zulat- ski’s and sat down a few minutes, as I supposed. Then I found myself in the street, and it was near dawn. I could not’ have been drinking. I swear to you that I had not touched a drop of anything, and I think you know I don’t do that sort of thing. But, as I stand here, I have no recol- lection of what happened between those two times.” (To Be Continued.) How It Was. “Pardon me, madam,” said the man with the piercing eyes and the earnest face to the heavy set lady who was watching the sportive bathers. “Is that your daughter in the blue bath- ing suit?” “It is, sir,” responded the lady. “Then permit me to say that I am the working secretary and investi- gator of the Society for the Encour- agement of Proper Garb, and to in- form you that your daughter’s skirt is apparently very short.” “Tut, tut,” smiled the lady comfort- ably. “It isn’t really that the skirt is short—it is that her stockings are so long. That is all, my dear sir. But thank you for your friendly inter- est just the same.” And the man with the earnest face and the piercing eyes was seen to walk blindly away and bump into a wheel chair—Judge.

Johnson has ordered the railroad and warehouse commission to compel the three north- ern roads to put into effect the grain rate which they proposed as a com- promise last week. The governor is of the opinion that if these roads were willing to make a reduction of 10 per cent on grain, which they can afford to do by their own statement, they should be com- pelled to do so. A letter sent by the governor to the commission is as fol- lows: “If the statement concerning the re- cent transactions before your honor- able body in the matter of the rate hearing are correctly reported, I think an opportunity is afforded you of se- curing immediate and considerable benefit to a large portion of the people of this state. It appears that on the 12th inst. a credited representative of the three railway companies appeared before you and proposed to ‘reduce the rates on wheat and coarse grain shipped from all parts of the State of Minneso- ta in excess of 100 miles from the ter- minal of their respective distance, 10 per cent from the tariff now in force.’ “The proposal was, however, coupled with the condition that the merchan- dise rates under discussion, so far as they relate to the tariff now in force, on said lines of railway, shall be con- tinued in force and the proceedings with reference to the same shall be dismissed. “It further appears that representa- tives of other roads objected to the ac- ceptance of this proposal by the com- mission upon the ground that the ef- fect would be to disturb the rate on their roads. I think every one must agree that you were clearly right in re- fusing to entertain the proposal of the three companies, but the fact having been made and the manner in which it was presented suggests to my mind that we should be able to secure re- duced rates on grain before the pres- ent crop is moved without in any man- ner interfering with the general in- vestigation of rates now being made by your board. Make Lower Rates. . “By their own statement the three companies can afford to make a ma- terial reduction in grain rates and they should be compelled to do so without delay. “The demand that the present !n- quiry into rates be suspended could not, of course, be entertained, inas- much as that proceeding is in accord- ance with instructions given you by the last legislature in a joint resolu- tion. “There is mo reason for presuming that the inquiry being conducted be- fore you will result in any injustice to the railway companies concerned. If it should, the courts are open to them for the purpose of having the same corrected, and they should be willing to abide by the decision of the same tribunal which passes not only upon every possible conceivable right of the individual citizen, but upon questions of life and death. It is a startling and audacious proposal that your board should forbear continuing an inquiry which you have commenced pursuant to legislative instructions, and a sug- gestion made on behalf of the railroads other than the three making the pro- posal, that such a reduction would dis- turb their rates, is equally preposter- ous. “The people of one portion of the state should not continue to pay ex cessive rates in order that the sym- metry of the rates enforced upon some other portion of the state should be maintained. I request, therefore, that you take steps that may be available and as the attorney of this state may advise you are sufficient, for the pur- pose of securing to the people of this state a reduction in rates upon coarse grains by the three roads I have men- tioned. “Pending the decision of the board upon the question of merchandise rates, nor should such reduction be limited to shipments originated from 100 miles from the terminals, or if you should be advised that such action is not feasible, that the scope of the pres- ent inquiry be so enlarged as to in- clude not only the propriety of the present rates on merchandise, but also commodity rates in this state general- ly. "an conclusion I desire to assure you of my hearty co-operation in any effort you may make, to secure more equal and just railway rates to the people of this state. Very respectfully, —John A. Johnson, Governor.” Pioneer Passes Away. St. Paul, Aug. 19—James T. McMil- lan, aged sixty-seven, and one of St. Paul’s pioneer citizens, died yesterday morning.
