CHAPTER XIV.
R. HOLCOMBE was up very
early the next, morning. i.
heard him moving around
at 5 o'clock, and at d he bang -
.red at my door and demanded to know
:.at what time the neighborhood rose.
%Be had been up for an hour and there
;were no signs of life. He was more
• cheerful lifter he had a cup of coffee,
commented on Lida's beauty and said
ghat Howell was a lucky chap.
"That Is what worries me, Mr. Hol-
combe," I said. "I am helping the at -
along and—what if it turns out
s deadly?"
He looked at me over his glasses.
"It isn't likely to turn out badly;', he
-said. "I have never married, Mrs: Pit-
man, and I have missed a great deal
••cut of life."
"Perhaps you're better off. If you
shad married and lost your wife"— I
•was thinking of Mr. Pitman.
• "Not at all," he said with emphasis,
"It's better to have married and lost
than never to have married at all. Ev-
try .man needs- a- good woman, and it
7I doesn't matter bow old he is. The
. -older hO is the more he needs her. I
ram nearly sixty."
.1 was rather ,startled, and 1 almost
dropped the fried potatoes. But the
next moment he- bad got out his note-
book and was going over the items
again. "PiIlowslip," be said, "knife,

"She's up now," I said, looking out
t.tbe window.
He was in the hail in a moment, only
«to come to the door later, hat In hand.
"Is she the only other woman on the
-street who keeps boarders?"
"She's the only wounilt who doesn't."
I snapped. "She'll keep anything that
edoesri't belong to her—except boarders"

Was Troubled With
Nervous Prostration.
Many people although they know of
nervous prostration do not know what
the symptoms are. The principal ones
'are, a feeling of fright when in crowded
places, a dread of being alone, fear of
being in a. confined place, a horror of
'society, a dread of • things falling from
above, fright at travelling on railroad
'trains, and disturbed and restless, un -
,refreshing sleep, often troubled with
. dreams.
.Mrs. George Lee, Victoria Harbor,
'Ont,, writes: "I am writing to tell yon
• of the experience I have had with Mit.
burn's Heart and Nerve fills. I was so
nervous I could not do my own work,
I did not want to see ally one, or would I
:go any place. My nerves were bad for
'three years, and my heart was so bad it
,sonde me tremble all over. I took three
boxes of your pills, and I never was better

think you could be Alice Murray for
a few moments? Now think—you ore
a stenographer with . theatrical. ambi-
tions. You meet an actor and You 'fall-'
in love with him and be with you."
"That's bard to imagine, that last,"
"Not so hard," he said gently. "Not,
the actor le going to put you on the
stage, perhaps in this new play, and
some day be is going to marry you.
"Is that what be promised the girl?"
"According to some letters her moth-
er found, yes. The actor is married,
but be tells you he will• divorce the
wife. You are to wait for -hint, and In
the meantime be wants you near him—
away from the office, where other men
are apt to come in with letters to he
typed and to chaff you. You are a
pretty girl."
"It isn't necessary to overwork my
imagination," I said, with a little bit-
terness. I bad been a pretty girl, but
work and worry—
"Now you are going to New York
v,ery soon, and in the meantime you
have cut yourself off from all your
people. You have no one but this man.
What would you do? Where would
you go?"
"How old was the girl?"
"I think," I 'said slowly, "that if I
were nineteen and in love with a man
and hiding I would hide as near him
as possible. I'd be likely to get a win-
dow that could see his going out and
coming in—a place so near that he
could come often to see me.."
"Bravo!" he exclaimed. "Of course,
with your present wisdom and expe-
rience, you would do nothing so fool-
ish. But this girl was in her teens'.
She was not very far away, for he
probably saw her that Sunday after-
noon, when he was out for two hours.
And as the going was slow that day
and he bad much to tell und•-expiain I
figure she was not far off, probably in
this very neighborhood."
During the remainder of that morn-
ing I saw Mr. Holcombe at' intervals
going from house to house. Finally
he came back, flushed and excited.
"I found the house." be said, wiping
his glasses. "She was there, all right,
not so close as we had thought, but
its close as she could get."
"And can you trace iter?" 1 asked.
His race changed and saddened.
"1'oor child!" he said. "She is dead,
Mrs. Pitman!"
"Not she—at Sewickley!"
"No:" be said patiently. "That was
Jennie Brice."
"But—Mr. Howell"—
"Mr. Howell is a young ass," he said
with irritation. "He did not take Jen-
nie'Brice out of the city that morning.
Ile took Alice Murray in Jennie Brice's
clothing, and veiled."
Well, that is five years ago. Five
times since then the Allegheny river,
from tieing a mild and inoffensive
stream, carrying a few boats and a
great deal or sewage, has become a
raging destroyer and has tilled our
hern'ts with tear anti our cellars with
mud.
A few days ago. as I said at the be-
ghnning, we found Peter's body foat-
ing in the cellar, and as soon as the
yard was dry 1 buried him. He lad
grown fat and lazy, but I shall miss

Yesterday a rlverman fell off a barge

On that quiet Sunday night, when Mr

It is. a curious fact about the cane ,
that the- sear which his wife incurred
to enable her to marry him was the
means of bis undoing. He insisted,
end l believe he was telling the truth,
that^ he did not know of the scar—
Untie, his wifebad nevertold him of
it and had been able to conceal It.• He
thought she bad probably used paraffin
In aume way.
In his final statement, written with
great care and no little literary finish,
he told the story in detail; of arrang-
lag the clews' as Mr. Howell and Mr.
Bronson bad suggested; of going out in
the boat with the body, covered with
it fur coat, in the bottom of the skiff;
of throwing it into the current above
rile Ninth street bridge, and of seeing
tate fur coat fall from the boat and car-
ried beyond his reach; of disposing of
the head near the Seventh street
bridge; of going to a drug store, as per
the Howell, intitrnctions and of coming
home at 4 o'clock to find me at the
head of the stairs.
Several points of confusion remain-
ed. One bad been caused by Temple
Hope's refusal to admit that the dress
and bat that figured in the case were
to be used by her the next week at the
theater. Mr. Lndley insisted that this
was the ease and that on that Sun-
day afternoon hes wife lied requested
him to take them to Miss Hope: that
they had quarreled ;ms to whether they
should he peeked in a box or in the

Alice Murray instead. It was on the

The Symptoms and The Cure.
THE CAUSE.
Too rapid eating, eating too much, and
too often, improperly chewing the food.
eating too much stimulating food, and
indulging in improper diet generally.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Van i -tee appetite, rising and souring of
food, heartburn, wind in the stomach,
a feeling of weight in the stomach, in
fact a feeling that your stomach has gone
all wrong and that the food you eat does
not seem to agree withyou.
BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS.
Mrs. B. Williamson, Wheeler, Ont.,
writes: "I have been a sufferer for
years from dyspepsia, and could scarcely
eat anything. I tried Burdock Blood
Bitters, and I ant entirely cured. I have
not been troubled since I took it, and that
is two years ago. I can now eat any-
thing I wish."

John H. Weeks tells the story of a

GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES.
Why Foreign Nomenclature Often Puz-
zles American Readers.
Foreign geographical names often
prove confusing to American readers
because each European country has a
name of its own for each of its cities,
rivers and other geographical feat -
tures. Every other nation has a dif-
ferent name for the same thing. Amer-
ican
merican geographies follow the English in
their nomenclature. but often employ
a different pronunciation,
For example, we call one Belgian
city Antwerp. while the Belgians and
French call it Anvers. We term an-
other Belgian city Mechlin, while at
home It is termed Malines. The river
Meuse is pronounced in Belgium and
France very nearly as we would pro-
nounce it, while the Germans pro-
nounce it as if it were spelled Moysey,
and the people of the Netherlands call
it the Maas. Brussels is spelled Brux-
elles at home. and the final s is not pro-
nounced. Dendermonde, on the river
Deader, is pronounced Dandermond by
its inhabitants, but it is known as Ter -
monde in most of the geographies.
Aalst is also spelled Attest. Louvain is
Leuven at home, Vienna is Wien and
Ghent is Gaud.
So one might go down the line. It is
to be loped that some day the geo-
graphical societies - will get together
and agree upon a nomenclature that
will be universally adopted.—Detroit
Tribune.
The Pyrophore.
A living light, called the pyrophore,
makes illumination cheap and conven-
ient in Brazil. The pyrophore• is a
monster firefly an inch and a half long.
With one it is possible to read fine
print, and three will light a room. The
Brazilian peasant, when he traverses
by night the perilous forest paths of
his country, fastens to each shoe a py-
rophore. Thus illuminated, be has no
difficulty in avoiding poisonous snakes,
pitfalls and wild beasts. The Brazilian
coquette fastens in her hair or her cor-
sage a pyrophore incased in white tulle.
The effect is as of a great luminous
pearl or opal. When a pyrophore's
light goes out it is not necessary to fill
him up with oil, to drop a coin in him
or to throw him away, but a.moment's
ducking in cold water suffices. There-
after his three little lanterns, one on
the breast and two on the back, emit
again as bright a radiance as ever.
British Life Guards,
England's famous Life guards, now
regarded as the oldest cavalry com-
mand in the world, were organized
just after the restoration. They were
recruited from the old cavaliers who
fought for Prince Charles Stuart, and
in 1601 they were formed Into three
troops, then known as the King's Own,
the Duke of York's and the Duke of
Albemarle's. At that time it was al-
ways demanded that one troop should
be raised in Scotland in honor of the
house of Stuart It was the duty of
the Life guards to protect the sover-
eign and the royal family,—At'gonaut
The Sea Horse,
Tile male sea borse has a 1ittte pouch
in its ventral surface, into which in
some manner it places the eggs of its
mate. When they are hatched and be-
come too numerous and large to con.
trot the sea horse presses the watch
against a stone and gently urges them
to take their departure. At this time
they are very small, but they grow
rapidly And are preyed upon by myr-
iads of fishes.

COMFORT ON THE FARM.
No Excuse .=or Homes Lacking Ire
Mode, n Conveniences.
The farm is conceded to be the most
healthful place in the world to live. It
is time now to take serious thought as
to our resources and see if we can't
make our farm homes the pleasantest
and most convenient spots also. writes
,a contributor to the Farm and Fire-
side.
There Is no longer excuse for homes
which are totally lacking in modern
conveniences and labor saving devices.
The man who today remarks that
"what was good enough for my grand-
father is good enough for me" is not
considered conservative; he is set down
either as a lazy good for nothing or a
lunatic. Nor does he speak the truth.
The grain on his farm is not cut with
a sickle nor tied by hand.
The, homes which lack comforts are
becoming rarer each day, but there are
many cases where more might be done
to bring the house equipment up to the
standard of town houses—cases where
natural resources close at hand are
neglected end the owner fails to per-
ceive his opportunities for introducing
new conveniences.
The back breaking drudgery of carry-
ing water from the spring or well to
the house should not be tolerated on
any farm which holds the least preten-
sion or progressiveness. The gasoline
engine or electric motor, the hydraulic
ram or even a windmill will raise the
water from its source, and you have
only to provide a tank to receive it.
In mild climates this tank may be
built out of doors and pipes laid in
shallow ditches to the house. If the
BANby TYPE or ttesox iNx =emu.
I Now turn your attention to lighting
the house. OIl lamps are not to be
despised, especially if they are well
chosen and cared for. but electricity is
to be preferred. as It means less work
and many conveniences in addition to
lighting. If you can secure electric
current from some nearby town at a
flat rate it is often well to do so, but
it is still better to install a little power
plant of your own. 1 f you have oa
your place a stream with sufficient fall,
by all means consult an engineer and
have him estimate the cost of installing
a dynamo.
winters are severe, however, care must
be taken to render it frost proof, and
evert then the storage tank, if it be a
large one, is not as satisfactory as it
meta be, for the Water it contains is
apt to grow stale. The newer com-
nru--sed air tanks are most satisfactory,
sluice the tank may be smaller, the
twi:t,tr is kept fresh and there is no dan-
ger of freezing. A smaller tank Is
siei-etimes placed above the kitchen
rollers and the water pumped into it.
In
such a rase, or if the ordinary tank
is a'.esit'ed elsewhere, the water may be
t,t'i t fresher if au overflow pipe is eon-
n,'.•ted with the stable watering

Chickens should !nave good food and
plenty of it, as well as clean, fresh wa-
ter and clean coops.
All houses and nests should be clean.
The eggs should be kept in cool, dry,
clean places and placed' there imme-
diately after gathering.
All small ,yards which keep the
fowls on the same ground week after
week sooty become filthy and poison-
ous from the accumulated waste. Such
ground should be spaded up or plowed
fitiquently, and if it gets very laid the
surface should be removed and carted
away.
Don't try to raise early chicks un-
less you have a place to properly care
for them. It is a waste of time and
money. A good many think if they
can hatch the chicks brooding them is
a small matter. Such is not the case.
Brooding the early chicks successfully
is a subject that needs more attentien
than is usually given it. Hatching
early chicks is comparatively easy.
