“*How .much?’ { inquired,. respond- ing to his playfulness.
“*‘A& bargain!’ be cried gaily. ‘Five. millions dollars! No! Shall i upon a needy friend hard press? Never! One million! One little million dollars!’
“‘T hayen’t that amount with me,’ I began. ‘
“‘Of no account,’ he declared airily. ‘Soon we shall haf many more times as that. Gif me your C. O. D.’
“‘My 10 U? I inquired.
“" It makes no matter. gif it to you gratis.’
“He handed me the metal contri- vance. It was closed.

-tell: you more. Take it. It iss without price.’ He laid his hand on my shoul- der. ‘Like the love of friends,’ he said gently.”
Feeling in his upper waistcoat pock- et, Darrow brought out a vial, so tiny that it rolled in the palm of his hand. He contemplated it, lost in thought.
“Radium?” queried Barnett, with the keen interest of the scientist... ‘
“God knows whit it is! said Dar- row, rousing himself.. ‘‘Not the per- fected product. The doctor: said that when he gave it to me. If I could re member one-tenth of what he told me thatnight! It is like a disordered dream,
a phantasmagoria of monstrous pow- ers, lit up with an intolerable; q)most This much I did gather—that Dr. Schermerhorn had achieved what ‘the greatest minds be- fore him had barely outlined. Yes, Becquerel,. the Curies, Rutherford—they were playing with the letters of the Greek alpbabet, Al- phas, Gammas and Rhos, while the ample, gentle old boy that I served mud read the secret., From the molten eruptions of the racked earth he had taken gases and potencies that are nameless, By what methods of combi- nation and refining 1 do not know, he produced something that was to be the final word of power. Control—contro} —that was all that lacked.
’ “Reduced to its simplest terms t Meant this: The doctor had something @s much greater than radium as radi- um is the pitchblen of which a thonsand tons are melted down to the one ounce of extract. And the incredible energies of this he pro- posed to divide into departments of ac- | tivity. One munifestation should be light—a light that would illuminate the world. Another was-to make mo- tive power so cheap that the work of the world could be done in an hour out of the day. Some idea he had of heal- ing properties. Yes. fle was to cure mankind; or Kill, kill as no man had ever killed, did be chouse. The armies and navies of the powers would be at his mercy. Magnetism was to be his slave. Aerial navigation, transmu- tation of metals, the screening of grav- ity—does this sound like delirium? Sometimes I think it was.
“That night he turned over to mé the key of the large chest and his ledger. The latter he bade me read. It was a complete jumble. You have seen it. We were up a good part of the night It was suffer- ing from interna) disturbances. ‘So,’ the doctor won)d say indulgently, when a particularly active rock came bounding down ovr way. ‘Little play- antics-to-exhibit now that the work iss finished.’

“Not' an. easy probed even. sith ‘all the data at hand... You, of course, bad tone. On Slade’s showing, Handy Sol: oop and bis worthy associates thought they“had a chest full of riches when they got the doctor's treasure — be- lieved ‘they owned the machinery for inaking diamonds or gold or what-not of ready to hand wealth. It's’ fair to
ussume a certain eagerness on their.
part. Disturbed weather keeps them busy until they're well out from the island. Then to the chest... Opening it isn’t so easy. 1 had the key. you know.” He brougbt a curious and delicately wrought skeleton from bis pocket. “Tipped with platinum.” he observed. “Ruther a gem of a key, think. You see, there must bave been some action even through the keyhole or he wouldn;t huve: used a metal of this kind. But the crew was rich Ip
certain qualities, it seems, which. I failed stupidly to recognize in my ac- quaintance with theim. Perdosa appeur to have been handy men where locks were concerned. First Pulz speaks down and bas his turn at the chest. ,He gets it open. Small profit for him in that. The next we know of him be is scandalizing Handy Solomon by having a fit on the deck.”
“That is what I couldn't figure out to save my life,” said Slade eagerly.
“If you recollect, 1 told you of the professor’s plunge in the cold spring in a sort of paroxysm one’ day,” said Darrow. “That was the physiological action of the celestium. At’ other times I have seen him come out and deliberately roll in the creek, bead un- der. Once hé explained that the me- dium he worked in caused a kind of uncontrollablé longing for water; some- thing having none of the qualities of burning or thirst, but an irresistible temporary mania. It worried him a good deal. He didn't understand it. That, then, was. what ailed Pulz. When he opened the chest there. was, as I surmise, a trifling quantity of this stuff lying in the inner lid. It wasn’t the celestium itself, as 1 im- agine, but a sort of byproduct with the physiological and radiant effects of the real thing, and it had been set there on guard, a discouragement to the spirit of investigation, as-it were. Sa when .the top was lifted our little guardidn gets in its work, producing the light phenomenon that so puzzled Stade and inspiring Pulz with a pas- sion for the rolling wave, which is only interrupted by Handy Solomon's tac- kling him. As he fled he must have pulled down the cover.” .
“He did,” said Slade. “I heard the clang. But I saw the radiance on the CIOUdS, Ald” thé Mwere “Miceiess~orh solid oak deck was in between the sky and: the chest.”
“Oh, a little thing like an oak deck, wouldn’t interrupt the kind of rays tbe doctor used. He had his own method of screening, you understand:' How- ever, this inconsiderable guardian af- fair must have usea itself up, which true celestium wouldn’t have done. So when Perdosa sets his genius for lock picking to the task the inner box, full of the genuine article, bas no warning signpost, so to speak. . Every- thing’s peaceful until they raise the compound filled hollow layer of the in- ner cover, which serves to’ interrupt the action. Then comes the general exit and the superior fireworks.”
“That’s when the rays ran through the ship,” said Slade. “It seemed ta follow the deck lines.”
“The stuff had a strange affinity for tar,”’ said Darrow. “I told you of the circle of fire about Professor Schermer- horn’s waist the day he gave me such a scare. That was the celestium work- ing on the tarred rope he wore for a belt. It made a livid circle. on his skin.. Did.1 tell you of his experi- ments with pitch? It doesn’t matter. Where was 1?”
“At the place where we all jumped,” said Slade.
“Oh, yes. And you dove into the small boat, trying to reacb the wa- ter,”
“Wait a bit,” said Barnett. was the exhibition of radiance we saw, it died out in a few minutes. How was that? Did they close the chest before they ran?”
“Probably not,” replied Darrow. “Slade spoke of Pulz taking to the maintop aud being shaken out by the sudden shock of a wave. That may have been a volcanic billow. What- ever it was, it undoubtedly heeled the ship sufficiently to bring down both lids, which were rather delicately bal- anced.”
“Yes, for. Billy. Edwards found the chest closed und locked,” said Burnett.
“Of course. It: Wasa spring lock. You sent Mr, Edwards and kis meu aboard. No such experts as’ Pulyz or Perdosa were in your crew. Cotte- quently it took longer to get the chest open. When at length the lid was raised there was a repetition of the tragedy. Mr. Edwards and his men leaped. Probably they were paralyzed almost before they struck the water Your bo’s’n, whom Slade picked up, ‘was the only one who had time even to grab a life presérver before the im- pulse toward .water became irresisti- ble. There was no element of fright, you understand—no desertion of their post. They were dragged as by the sweep of a tornado.” Darrow spoke direct to Captain ‘Parkinson. is any feeling among you ‘other Mee of sorrow for, their death, it is
and unworthy.” y “Thank you, Mr. Darrow, iy! returned the captain quietly. “We found the chest Sonia again when the empty ship came back,” observed Barnett.

leaned to lim.- “Yes, I have seen her. I wish I had not. Let me bring my story back to the cave on the island. After the vol- | canie gases had driven me to the ref- uge I sat near the mouth of the cave, looking out into the darkness. That was the night of the 7th, the night you saw the last glow. It was very. dark, except for occasional bursts of fire from the crater. Judge of my in- credulous amazement when in an ac- cess of this illumination I saw plainly a schooner hardly a mile offshore, com- ing in under bare poles.” “Under bare poles?” cried Slade. . “The .halliards must have disinte- grated from some slow action of the celestium. It could be destructive, ter- rifically destructive. You shall judge. There was the schooner, naked as your hand, Possibly I might have thought it a hallucination but for what came aft- er. Darkness fel] again. I supposed then that Handy Solomon’s crew Were managing—or mismanaging—the Laughing Lass without the aid of their leader, whom I had satisfactorily bur- fed.

“Meant to heave it overboard before now,” growled the other. -
Some one handed it down to Darrow.
“If 1 had something to hold enough water,” muttered he, “I’d like to float it. I'd like to see for myself how it worked out. I'd like to see that devil work in action.”
He spoke feverishly.
“Boy,—fill the portable rubber tub in Mr. Forsythe’s. cabin and bring it here,” ordered the captain.

From his pocket he took a curious small vial.
“Ig that what, Dr. gave you?” asked Slade.
“Yes,” said Darrow.He set it care- fully inside the little model and slip- ped a lever. down the light.

“My Ged!” cried Slade and covered | his eyes for a moment.
He. snatched away his hands as a suppressed cry went up from the oth- ers.
“As I expected,‘ said Darrow quietly.
The little craft opened out, It dis- integrated. All that radiance dissolved, and with its going the substance upon which it shaped itself vanished. The last glow showed a formless pulp, spreading upor the water.
“So passed the Laughing Lass,” said Darrow solemnly.
“And the chest is at the bottom of the sea,” said Barnett.
“Good place for it," muttered Tren- don,
“In all, probability it closed as the ship dissolved around it,” said Darrow. “Otherwise ‘we should see the effects in the water.”
“It might be recovered,” cried Slade excitedly. “Could you chart it, Dar- row? Think of the possibilities”.-
“Let it lie,” said the captain, “Has it not cost enough? Let it lie.” —

Her Paper a Heavy. Burden.
Lady Bathurst now knows the irri- tations attending the ownership of a London newspaper. She enjoys “the distinction of being the first woman to own a big London daily, and she is earnest in the wish that the honor never was thrust upon her. The pa- per has come to her from the estate of her father, Lord Glenesk, and her troubles have been visited upon her They

ger—long enough, anyway. We'll try ! gone to the length of sending personal
items on scented note paper to Lady Bathurst, with the gentle intimation that they would adorn the columns of The situation is funny, yet has a sad side. Lady Bathufst, through no fault of her own, finds ene- mies multiplying at au alarming rate. She is threatened with the breaking of many of her siial ties, and the prospect is the reverse of pleasing to her. If she were to encourage her friends and acquaintances the Post would be crammed with flattering paragrapbs and she would be one of the most popular women in England. It is imperative that she refuse a privilege to even one importunate pleader, and as a result she runs the risk of society turning a cold shoulder.
One Man Who Admired His Wife. Doubtless there are many women in this hurrying world of divorce who would wish to have a modern Edmund Burke for a husband. Doubtless there are many men. who would be equally desirous of having the orator’s wife for a life partner. It is an inspira; tion to'read of the romance that held | this couple through the years. Burke praised his wife in words as eloquent as any in his career as a statesman. “Her understanding is not shown in the variety of matters it exerts itself upon,” wrote Burke, “but in the good- ness of the choice she makes. She does not display it so much in saying; or doing striking things as in avoiding such. as she ought not to say dr do. She is always’ without preciseness or affectation. She is a woman who glides through all the agitating scenes: of life with Quaker calmness and an almost saintlike beauty.” Is it any
wonder Burke achieved greatness?-

A dainty little cravat on the direc- ‘toire order that sold for 75 cents re- cently could be made for half the money and take very little time. ~
It is simply a strip of lace banding an inch wide, edged with a very nar- row velvet in a delicate color, the ends weighted with tiny tassels. The yard of lace for it would cost 20 cents or
cents and the ornaments 5 cents. The velvet must overlap the irregular edge of the lace and be neatly sewed down and the ends gathered to a point, to which the tassels must be attached.

NAME OF THE MONTH.
A Jolly Game That Is Sure to Induce Much Laughter.
Line up, every boy and girl of you, on one side of the room, and each take the name of a month in order, from January to December.
If there are not twelve of you, then take the months’ names as far as‘ they

up in front of you and points her fin- ger at a child and says, “Happy New Year, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!” the boy or girl must answer, “March, march, march!” (if that is her name) before the “ten” is said.
It is like “bird, beast or fish’—isn’t it?—only different for this reason, you must not laugh. That is where the fun comes in, because you know you will laugh when you try hard not to, just as sure as you live!

Frills That Soften.
There is no disguising the fact that without the immense and lovely jabots, stocks and frilled puffs the present styles would be angular and severe to an unbecoming degree. The softening frill does much to hide the severity of the season’s costumes.
It is the opinion of many that women are more furbelowed this year than ever befcre, but if all those frills were deducted women would look as man- nish as they did on the +ireet last year.

About the Clove.
Children, how many of you know where the clove comes from? It is the flower bud: of an evergreen tree. When the flowers are in full bloom they are a brilliant red.. The little ball at the top of the clove is formed of the curled up petals. At first the buds are a pale green; then they become red. As soon as they become this color they are ready for.picking and drying. The trees from which cloves are obtained
| are natives of the Moluccas, or Spice piration of which time, directly under | islands.
The trade in cloves once formed the basis of great fortunes in more than-one nation. About the close of the eighteenth century the clove tree was transplanted in other coun- tries than the Spice islands, and now a great part of the commerce in cloves is carried on in Zanzibar. The word clove comes from the French word clou, which means a nail. Doubtless the round, hard head caused its name, as it somewhat resembles a small nail.
The Sundew, __. A striking illustration of the adapta- tion of plants to their surroundings is shown in the sundew.. This plant
, flourishes in boggy places; but, being
fleshy in nature, it needs nitrogen, sul- phur and other means of sustenance that the boggy soil cannot supply, for these substances have been dissolved out of it. Here nature steps in and gives the needed elements to the plant by feeding it with insects whose bod- ies- contain those elements, It has glands that secrete a viscid fiuid that
glitters like dewdrops, and this fluid
. attracts and holds the insects. After
an insect is caught the glands curve inward, thus preventing it from escap- ing, and the leaf digests it.

The ratepayers. of Taber wil soon |
[bo « called upon to vote upon a by-law
providing for a water system in the | town.
x i
The councilhas madearrangements | with the C.P.R. whereby water can
be obtained by tapping the C,.P.R. pipaline and. rinning « branch’ ftom
if to a,stand pipe situated at some! point in the north western part of, the town, and from there the dis-| tribution will be made. It mated that $55,000 will be required | in all which will include an adequate number of hydrants. This sum will provide for a fairly good distribu- tion of pipe. It is proposed that the sum required to lay the pipe from the C.P.R. line to the point of dis- tribution, which will cost in the vicinitv of $20,000, should be borne by general taxation by the town generally, while the sum required for putting in the pipe throughout the town should be paid by special fron- | tage tax. This we believe. to be a
good idea as it will be impossible at |
the present time to lay pine through- ‘out all the streets in the town, and if the cost is borne in the manner in- dicated only those ratepayers who hee have the benefit of the system | will pay for it. | of a water system in a town cannot
be exaggerated. The system con- |
and various business places in the |
jtown, but by use of hydrants addi- | tional fire protection is provided and |
insurance rates are decreased.
N { , | x | Every up-to-date town in the west! of less size than Taber has a water

WAS TAKEN SICK FROM CATCHING COLD PE-RU-NA RELIEVED.
MISS ERNESTINE BOUVARD, Duck Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada, writes : . ‘
“At the close of 1903 I took sick as the result of catching cold. I became very. weak and could not do anything.
“T. consulted a doctor who had me take vaiious kinds of medicine, but 1 did not find any relief from my suffer- ing. At the advice of a friend, I wrote to you and you advised me.
“After I had taken two bottles of Peruna there was noticeable improve- ment. I combined the use of Peruna, Manalin and Laguipia,and after tak- ing several bottles “of ¢ach I find my- self entirely cured.
“I can certify that it was through your medicines that I recovered my health. I advise every’ one who is similarly afflicted to obtain’ Dr. Hart- man’s advice and be benefited.’
Mrs. Wilda Mooers, R.F.D..No. 1, Lents, Oregon, writes:

“Within, two weeks there was a ehunge for the better,-and in.less than three months I was a well and happy woman,

DEADLY HORNETS.
The Ones That Buzzed About the Young Soldier’s Ears.
A great general was taking his regi- ment into action. He sent forward a detail of men to make gaps in a rail fence to avoid the heavy loss sure to result if the whole body of men paused to tear it down. ;
The coolest and finest man in the de- tail was a young soldier who had never been under fire before. When he began pulling down the fence he fancied he had disturbed a nest of hornets, as he thought he heard them singing fiercely about his ears. But the lad was not going to run from hornets when there was more serious business ahead.
Ignoring the angry iasects, he open- ed the fence and rejoined the regiment without being stung,
In a day or two he was surprised to hear that he was to be promoted.
“But,” he said modestly, “I don’t think I deserve promotion over the oth- ers.’”
“My boy,” replied the general, “I saw you pull down that fence. You were the coolest man under fire I ever
saw!”
The man gasped, stared and turned pale,
“What!” he exclaimed, regardless of grammar. ‘‘Was them wasps bullets?”
GUR FIRST MUSTANGS.
re Probshiy Brough? +. This Country by the Spaniards.
’ The first horses of the western plains were probably brought there by the Spaniards. In 1545, almost fifty years before Jamestown was settled, Coro- nado, the Spanish captain, was roam- ing about the plains of New Mexico, and he tells of the dogs used by the Indians to haul their plunder on lodge poles, indicating that they had no horses at that date.
In 1716 the Spanish again worked their way eastward across the plains, ana their letters tell of the astonish- ment of the Indians at seeing the horses they had with them. The ex- pedition was constantly losing horses, and there is little doubt that the first droves of western horses originated from these strays.
In thé early days upon the plains they were a great pest to travelers. Woe be unto the luckless camper who allowed a band of wild horses to get .close enough to his gentle horses, turned out for the night, to sweep them off. It was almost useless to follow, for the call of the wild comes to the gentlest of horses when he is thrown with a band ‘of his kind that have been born and raised free of all restraint. It is a well known fact that the hardest one to “cut out,” the lead- er of them all in a mad race across the prairie, is the old, gentle, well broken saddle or ‘work horse once he gets a taste of such freedom.—Will C. Barnes in McClure’s.
PAPUAN COIFFURES.
Heads In New Guinea That Look Like Rising Suns.
“One of the most interesting things that came under my observation was the odd manner in which the people wore their hair,” said a physician, de- scribing a visit to New Guinea and the leading traits and characteristics of the _inbabitants, known as Papuans, “One type wore the hair standing up from the head at a length of seven inches or | More. It was trimmed with wonderful regularity and with mathematical ac- curncy, The hair was greased with coconut oil and painted red. At a distance it looked like a rising sun.” | Another type of the inhabitants who | wyar their hair in an unusual fashion as. described,
“Starting from the forehead,” he said, “the huir is brushed back over the scalp and hangs down to the waist. It is a perfect mass, an intricate jungle,

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS.
’ oe He had Rheumatism for Ten Years and the old Reliable ‘Kidney. Rem- edy Cured Him Completely.
North Range, Digby Co., N. 8., (Special.)—“I am so filled with grati- tude to Dodd’s Kidney Pills that I cannot praise them too highly.” These are the .words of Mr. Charles Bell, well known here, and they are echoed by many another who has been freed from the tortures of rheumatism by, Dodd’s Kidney Pills.
“T -suffered terribly from rheuma- tism for ten years,’’ Mr. Bell contin- ues, “I was so bad I could scarcely ‘get in and out of bed. ,After trying | various medicines without getting re- lief, a friend advised me to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Six boxes cleaned the Rheumatism_right out of me.’
That’s what Dod@’s Kidney Pills do to Rheumatism—clean it right out of you. They do this simply and nat- urally. Rheumatism is caused by urie acid in the blood. When the kidneys are healthy they strain this uric acid out ot the blood. With no uric acid in the blood there can be no Rheumatism. Consequently to cure Rheumatism, cure your. kidneys. Dodd’s Kidney Pills always cure the kidneys.

masons. They were paid in ,rations, ‘and they claimed, that these were in-
sufficient to sustain them 4nd their | fanilies until the following pay day.
On the 10th of the month they laid down their. tools and gathered behind \achapel, ‘Weare hungry,” they said) ! “and there are eighteen days before the next pay day.”’ They charged the. paymasters with dishonesty, saying that they gave false meagure.. The paymasters charged the .men with want of foresight in feasting ‘too well while the rations lasted.
After long discussion the men decid- ed to return to work on condition that Pharaoh himself investigate the mat- ter. Two days later Pharaoh came to the temple and decided that the ma- sons should have their wages raised at once. For a little while all went well, but evidently the paymasters did not live up to their agreement, for on the 5th of the next month the strike was again in full force, and for three whole days not a tool was lifted.
The strikers decided to go out to the public with their troubles, but they found themselves locked in the temple. Then they broke out and rushed into the streets, frightening pedestrians as (hey paraded the thoroughfares,

Early Methods of Curing Skins,
The original process of curing skins was probably the simple one of clean- ing and drying them. Removal of the hair by maceration in water seems to have been common among the very early tribes, and one writer has sug- gested that the idea was obtained from the natural process of depilation. They must certainly have been familiar with it in the case of drowned animals, where maceration “an be plainly ob- served, Following: this smoke, sour milk, off and the brains of the animals themselves were found efficacious. Many of these primitive methods are einployed in remote places at the pres- ent time, ‘

JOHN HALLAM,

Badly Put.
The minister of a certain Yorkshire chureh recently asked for a prolonged holiday on ageount of his wife’s health. The church was very symp- athetic, and at a special meeting the senior deacon endeavored to express the sentiment. ‘‘We are all sorry he, has to go away,” he declared, ‘“espe- cially for such a reason. But let us hope the cause will soon be removed.”

Miners on the Corner.
“Those men,” said Sherlock Holmes, “are colliers. You can tell it by their attitude.”
The men, very clean in white shirts and black overcoats, squatted on their heels on a sunny corner. .
“Any other men,” continued Holmes, “would stand, They would lean against the lamppost or the wooden Indian of the tobacconist. But these men, in the low galleries or tunnels of coal mines, for lack of space must work’ seated on their heels—squatting, as we say.- And this position, which would be- come a torture to you or me in five minutes, is to them, from long usage, comfortable and customary. It is their favorite position at all times.
“Hence when you see men idling on their heels on the street corners you can always set them down as miners. If they are bowlegged the case against thém is doubly strong,’”’

The Lady Was Not the Ghost.
An Irish family once had a ghost so troublesome that they sent for detec- tives. One of these men late at night fell asleep‘in his chair. The lady of. the house chanced to come into the room and could not resist the tempta- ‘ton to groan and rattle her keys. She had never played ghost before, It was momentary indiscretion, But the po- liceman did not and could hardly be expected to believe this, He said it was hardly worth while to bring him from Dublin, and he withdrew in dudg- eon. Yet the lady was not really the ghost. He was sulking in retirement; hence doubt his been cast on the ghosts of haunted houses even among reflecting minds,—Londpa News, |

Egypt is the land of graves, and the whole energy of the people that could be spared from keeping life together was devoted to death. The mightiest tombs’ in the world—the pyramids— were raised upon the deaths of multi- tudes of foiling slaves. The his were honeycombed | passages chambers, pits, all painfully excavated in honor of the flustrious dead and

The very temples which cluster along the levels beside the Nile were in a sense but vestibules to the tombs in the hills behind.

For my part | commend a quick changing fashion and could I have | chosen my period would have fixed on the fickle years of the first empire, when fashions shifted from week to week, and that, too, with such fine shades of difference that only the most frivolous could follow them. Then the great conqueror brought to Paris finery from the ends of the earth, moslins from India, garlands of roses from Bengal, stuffs shining with gold and silver from Cairo; from Turkey, of course, turbans, and from the far east shawls—shawls from Kasbmir, from Persia and from the Levant; shawls particolored, blue—bright blue—and red and green and black and the clear yellow of the sun; shawls patterned with all the interlacings of Asian ca- price and fit not only to hang from the shoulders of the fair. but _te give a coquette of eastern fancy day long visions of the orient, From the past, for all time as well as all the earth was then Napo'eon’s, came the fashion of the troubadours—chapeaux a Cre- neaux, sleeves a la mameluk, cheveux a Venfant. lending to a very modern period who cav say what charming Gothie airs?
