CHAPTER XI.•-(Cont'd)
John Hubbard fully expected to

:and to.make the most of the respite
thus afforded 'him in feathering a
snug nest for himself, in case he
should' escape conviction; but Mr.
Lyttleton hall arranged to make
the amount of bail so excessive that
no one was willing to take the risk
and become surety for him ; con-
sequently, he was committed to the
Tombs to 'await hie trial, while
Anna buried herself in obscure
lcdginge, wisely resolving to be
.economical with her resources un -
•til the fate of her husband should
be decided, the trial having been
•set for about the first of February,
Meantime, Lady Bromley had re-
-oeived an invitation to visit her old
friend and schoolmate, :Helen At-
wood, now Mrs. Ernest Bryant,
with whom she had spent those few
,sad weeks long_ago after the news
,of -the loss of the steamer on which
her husband had sailed, and was
•supposed to have been among the
lost.
The Bryants were a very happy
family, and owned a very lovely
;home in Brookline, one of the most
.delightful of Boston's suburbs, Mr..
Bryant being a prosperous wool-
merolient of that city.
-Helen Bryant had often impor-
tuned tier friend to visit her, but.

.venient for her to do so, although
Me had long yearned to renew the
eld-time intimacy. Thus, while her
:brother and Gerald were absorbed
lir . preparing for the great case of
:Brewster vs. Brewster, she decided
to avail herself of Mrs. i3ryant's
;pressing invitation, and make the
long -talked -of visit.
She took Ellen with her, the girl
,having. become quite a handy little
waiting -maid and devoted to her, "Lady Bromley 1 Lady Bromley!
.kind mistress: She was delighted Oh I come quick!" she cried breath-
lessly, her face white as chalk, and
unable to articirlate another word,
she sank upon the floor at her mis-
tress' feet and burst into nervous
weeping.
"You were forgiven from the
first, d•ear," •said Lady Bromley,
as she brushed some hot tears from
her cheeks, "I am alone to blame
for it all, and I do not know what
would have become of me at that
time if had not proved yourself

terward to make up for having
tempted you to err in that one in-
stance." .
"Yes, we were happy together,
and yet the sting of that early mis-
take will never be entirely obliter-
ated," said Lady Bromley sadly.
She had barely finished speaking
when the door of Mrs. Bryant's
boudoir was rudely thrown open,

Ellen, who had again rushed below
and out upon the street. •
'When Lady Bromley emerged
from the house she saw an elderly
gentleman, with white hair and
beard, standing quietly upon the
sidewalk, while beside flim in
luxuriously cushioned wheel -chair
in which, well wrapped in soft,.
bright robes, there sat a beauti-
ful girl, the sight of whom trade
the startled woman catch her
breath sharply and sent a wild look.
of mingled joy and horror into her
eager eyes.
The girl was indeed Allison's very
cc unterpart.
There were the same delicate,
clear-cut, faultless features, the
same bright, golden -crowned head,
although the hair had been cut and
now curled daintily all about her
white forehead; there were the
same great, beautiful blue eyes,
and yet they were not the same,
for there was a harrowing blank-
ness in them which told but too
plainly that reason had been de-
throned, while the lovely face and
form were thin almost to emacia-
tion.
The gentleman bowed courteous-
ly as Lady Bromley went quickly
down the steps to his side, her face
alarmingly pale.
"Madam, 'I trust. you have not
been, needlessly disturbed or ex-
cited," he observed, as he noticed
her emotion, "but this young girl,"
glancing at Ellen, who was gazing
spell -bound at the figure in the
chair, 'met us at the corner yon-
der, when she became almost fran-
tic upon seeing my charge, whom
she insisted she knew, calling her
'Miss Allison' and `Miss Brewster,'
and weeping with joy over her dis-
covery. Then she begged me to
come here with her to seg a lady
who, she said, would explain it all
to me. She was so violently in ear-
nest I was constrained to comply
oath her request."
With her eyes wandering continu-
ally Pram the speaker to his charge,
Lady Bromley listened almost spell-
bound to the above explanation.
"Is—is she your daughter 1" she
gasped, as he concluded.
"No, madam, and a strange Hope
sprang up in my heart the moment
this girl, upon meeting us, fell up-
on her knees beside the carriage in
r perfect esetasy of recognition and
began to address my poor Alice.

ceive, she is not in a condition to
recognize any 0115, since an acci-
dent, several months ago, deprived
her of her reason.
"An accident 1 Ali 1" breathed
her ladyship, her heart leaping in-
iu her throat. "Oh, sir," she ad-
ded faintly, while she put out her
band to steady herself by the stone
post near which she was standing,
"will you kindly tell me about it]
For, indeed, it is not strange that
my maid should have been startled,
as the young lady does resemble to
a remarkable degree one who has
lung been regarded as dead by her
friends."
The gentleman lost color at this,
and looked excited.
"If," he said, "you will walk a
block or two with me, I shall be
very glad to tell you all that I
know regarding the poor child's
history. I do nob like to have her
sit still here, for, although the day
s unusually fine, Alice is still very
delicate, and we are exceedingly.
careful not to let her get chilled.'
"Certainly, I will accompany

turning to her maid, she added:
`Ellen, go to my room and bring
me a hat."
And the girl, with a sorrowful but
adoring look at the invalid darted
way to do her bidding. She was

FOR POTATO SPRAYING.
Bordeaux mixture for potato
spraying is made trom the follow
ing formula: Copper sulphate
(bluestone or blue vitriol) 6 pounds
unslaked lime, 5 pounds; water, 40
to 50 gallons.
As it is uneonvenient to weigh
the line and copper at th•e time of
mixing, and quite impracticable to
keep a supply of ready mixed Bor-
deaux on hand, "stock solutions"
of the copper and lime are usually
prepared ready for' mixing as re-
quired. To prepare material suf-
ficient to treat one acre of pota-
toes four times proceed as fol-
lows : Place 72 pounds of bluestone
in a bag or basket and suspend it
near the surface in 36 gallons of
water in a barrel. It will disolve
in a few hours, and every gallon
afterwards dipped from this barrel
will contain exactly two pounds
of bluestone. For the stock mix-
ture of lime, take s0 pounds of
fresh unslacked lime and 30 gallons
of water. Slake the lime by the use
of as little of the water as possible
and when all is broken down, bring
the solution to standard strength
by adding what remains of the 30
gallons of water. Every gallon of
]ince mixture now contains exactly
two pounds of lime. These mix-
tures, if kept under cover, and
evaporation prevented, will retain
their strength all summer.
A TEST 31011 MILK.
A simple and effective test to.de
termine whether water is present
in milk may be )rade with an or-
dinary knitting -needle, if the
needle is bright and well polished.
Dip the needle into the milk and
quickly withdraw it in an upright
position. if the milk contains only
a small quantity of water this will
prevent even a drop of milk adher-
ing to the needle.
Everyone who has occasion to
heat milk knows how easy it may
be scorched.
When this does happen, the
thing to clo is to quickly remove
the vessel from the lire and stand
it ]n a bowl of. Bold water. Put a
pinoh of salt into the milk and stir,
It will then be found that the dis-
agreeable burnt taste has almost,
11 not entirely, disappeared. --New
Zealand Dairyman.
WHAT It LOST.
Dairy farmers who sell &kilo -milk
should bear in mind that with
every hundred pounds of whole
milk sold from the farm they are
losing at least 00 cents worth of the
beet kind of pig feed, comparing
its value to the present cost of
corn meal. In order to realize the
read value, however, frons skiff: -
milk or any other feed, it must be
fed economically to geed stock,
This stock must then be market-
ed at the proper time and a fair
profit is practically assured,
THE PHARAOHS PALACES
EXCAVATIONS CARRIED ON
DfJ1i1NG TILL WINTER.
Professor Flinders Petrie Finds
Chafe Armor and Pottery
Modem.
At the annual meeting recently
of the British School of Archaeology
in Egypt held at University Col-
lege, London, England, an inter-
esting aeeount was given by Pro-
fessor Flinders Petrie of the ex-
cavations carried on during the
past winter at Memphis and also
Thebes.
Tho great find of the year was made
at Memphisa. There the explora-
tion of a large mound 60 feet high,
brought to light the remains of the
palace of King Apries—the Phar-
aoh .Hophra of Jeremiah. The
building, 400 feet long by 200 feet
wide was surrounded by other
buildings 'which served for outer
fortifications. Between these and
the palace itself is a space 30 feet
wide in the middle of which is a deep
fosse which appears to have been
crossed by a draworidge. Travers-
ing t..e palace from south to north
is a broad way 14 feet wide.
STONED LINED HALLS.
On the east of the palace were
stone -lined halls, seven .of which
still remain. On the west are the
kitchens with the rireplaoes still
standing and also a great court 100
feet square, the stone columns of
which were over 90 feet high. On
the north is a still larger court, its
further end washed away by the
heavy rains. The columns of this
court must have been over 50 feet
high. Among the debris was found
a large quantity of scales of iron
and bronze, evidently the remains
of chain armor thrown away by the
foreign .mereenar.es of the King,
and still more important, a silver
fitting of a pacanquin having as its
centrepiece a bust of the goddess
Hat-hor, the face being worked in
gold and the hair in bronze.
Outside the south wall of the
palace were found a number of
blocks of stone apparently, cut for
building purposes On being put
together these proved to be parts
of a great gateway, 20 feet high
and 7 feet wide on either side, and
carved with scenes representing
the asiripiration of a king. The
presence of this gateway and the
fact that the foundations of the
palace walls go down to an immense
depth lend color to the hope that
on this site may be found the suc-
cessive palaces of the kings of the
earlier dynasties.
POTTERY MODELS.
A further exploration of the
Temple of Ptah led to the finding
of more of those pottery models of
heads which were of such interest
last year. Karians with the cocks-
comb hat described by Herodotus,
negrocs, Sardinians with the Span -

EXERCISE FOR THE FAT.
Although bhc food that one takes
often bas much to do with the
amount of fat put on, and a res-
triction in the intake • of fat -form-
ing foods )ray prevent the formation ,
of more fat in the tissues or eves
Mott a reduotion, it is seldom that
this along will prove efficacious,
A strict diet is irksome, and most
fat people are to oasy-going to
carry it out faithfully. This hs not
that they are weak or deficient in
self-control, but they are too happy
and content with their ' flesh to be
willing to suffer overmuch discom-
fortin any effort to rid themselves
of it. Moreover, too radical a
change in a diet may, prove injuri-
ous, and it is better to be too fat --
a little too fat, anyway—than to
suffer from indigestion or damage
to the kidneys, as one may easily
do by ineousiderate and injudicious
dieting. It is much better to re-
strict somewhat the intake of. fat -
forming foods, enough to prevent
the increase of fat, and to effect
the actual reduction by mechanical
moans, that is to say, by exercise,_
massage, and in certain cases, by
the wearing of a belt or abdominal
bandage. The last is sometimes
useful when the abdomen is large,
not only in making the girth seem
smaller, but actually in causing an
absorption of fat by the action of
the constant slight pressure.
Massage, when skilfully perform-
ed,—not simply desultory rubbing
here and there,—will do much in
reducing flesh, when combined with
diet and with active exercise in the
open air.
Exercise—systematic, active ex-
ercise—is of the greatest value in
restraining a tendency to the over-
production of fat and in causing a
reduction of fat already formed. It
must, however, be combined with
dieting, otherwise its object will be
defeated. It naturally increases
the appetite, especially when taken
in .the open air, and if this appetite
is satisfied with the articles of diet
that the fat people prefer, the last
state will be worse than the first.
The best exercise is walking—not
strollingg, but rapid, springy walk-
ing, with shoulders back and arms
swinging. This kind of walking
fills the lungs with oxygen, which
burns up the fat, puts all the
muscles In motion, by which a na-
turaI massage is effected, and in-
creases the circulation, by which
the waste products are more rapidly
eliminated.
Golf is an excellent game for the
overstout, and so is tennis, if the
heart is strong, Equestrian exer-
cise is also good, but driving and
motoring are not the ways to reduce ;
flesh, as they increase appetite an•d •
assimilation without giving the re-
quisite exercise.—Youth's Com-
panion.
THE RIGHT FOOD.
As necessary for the human ma-
chine is the right kind of food as is
fuel for the furnace which heats
the steam by which the engine is
run. Coal to heat the boiler con-
taining the steamis necessary for
the steam engne, but a steam en-
gine cannot be run by electricity
any more than the electric motor
can be run by steam.
It is the opinion of many that
most people are ruining their sys-
tems nat only by not eating the
right kind of food, but by eating
far too much. WO think that our
present bills of fare are much too
elaborate.
The present crave for novelties -
manifests itself in the culinary de-
partment in indigestible mixtures
which would try the stomach of an
ostrich. Youthful stomachs can for
a time cope with the digestion of
all sorts of things that the middle-
aged stomach could not dispose of
and which wotild be more difficult
still for one advanced in years.
Vitality will be proportioned to
the digestive strength of the stom-
aeh.
Simple, nourishing food, in the
amount necessary to repair the
waste that has taken place, and
to provide the strength, is what
one should take!. Anything more
clogs the system, impairs the
power. The surplus of food is de-
posited in fat beneath the skin and
-round the vital organs, especial-
ly the heart, and serious damage is
done.
It is by individual experiments-
titin that .ilio problem is solved,
Those who live to eat only will not
live very long. The temptation to
enjoy the pleasures of the palate
in .rating and drinking are among
the ones most frequently yielded to.
Our customs of friendship and hos-
pitality and our desire for display
combine t,) dig the pitfall?, of a
lowered vitality, a weakened system
and a prematul c grave.
