"You've dreamed all this, l'd send you right away only that a few hints of that sleet breathed in your sleep might set the gossips talking and bring about .tui unjustifiable slump in tho newly - revived shares; might even ruin my- self and -as you suggest -David Her- on with mo!"

Yes, away in old England Munfrecle of people aro waiting anxiously for tho truth dout this new lode in the old mine; their shares are balaneing for a riso or a 1011. Here, in Australia,what is going on? Why the secrecy, the proerastinations, the private meet - frogs between you and this syndicate, which appaintecl you sole manager to exploit the mine on the strength of your reputation? Is there the sha- dow of gnome behind? is the reef struck as rich as all these reports bavo implied?" "What do you mean?" he asked, in O Mises:, dogged voice. "I mean," she whispered, "that the shame of a crash and exposure would cling to David for life, I may not be a;ble to influeece you, but 1 know that he has been drawn into it un- consciously. Let me warn him of what may bappen, even if it leaves him no alternative but to give up his position here and start life anew." With his hips set hard, Mr. Foskett rose and pointed. 'Go! Go back to your friends, your music -to a woman's proper spheve! Remember, if any hints of the kind should get abroad I shall know the source and how to act ef- fectually. As you say, David Heron LAS all at stake, and will sink Or ewini with me. Now, maybe, you understand, and will keep your place Eis a womaa."- "Yes," she answered. very pale now; "I understand now why you would never let him know that 1 had aa5,000 in ray own right, and why you feared I might wish to invest it In the mine shares, as you allowed him to invest his little all!" ''Go!" he repeated., "You're in love with the man, and have taken my consent for granted, and that's sufficient. Never mind what I mean, Enough that your •dread is all imag- ination, and that in three months' time the shares will be standing at a premium In England." Mechanically Sheila passed the door of the private steirce.se leading to the living portion of the hand- les/he mine -estate office, The instant the door had closed Mr. roskett sprang up and elid tbe catch. He swerved round, both hands to his head. In that brief instant he had tuelergone a physical transformation. Nis face was blitnoh?d, his eyes wero sunken and staring, What to do?

Tliat it will take rne every hour till then to procure and place, so as to blind an expert, the blocks of payable 'climate that I should have had in position weeks ago!" " 'Salt' the minor' Heron gasped, vaguely, at the end of that pause. He had quivered and paled, but that was all as yet. "Is that whet you mean?" His hand catne slowly up. "Mr. Foskett!

Mr. Foskett tiptoed to the baize door, looked out at the row of unconscious clerks, and steode bale with a sudden access of sup- pressed passion. "Think before you say another word!

He is bound to be impressed and to car- ry back a report favorable enough as to desmlopnients to start a 'boom.' And then— "And then—?" David Heron had closed his eyes in a sort of incredu- lous horror to shut out the haggard tompting 10ca, Por tho monient that wave of fierce resentment had prompted him to catch by the throat in one strangling clutch the man nem had led him blindfold to the edge of this precipice. Just in time there came the recollection that he was Sheila's father still. "And then-?" he repeated, bitterly, ''Exposure lend the felon's dock for all concern- ed!"

"Let me tell you all before you decide; realize °nee for all that I ba,ve sunk so low that my alternative to ruin would be suicide.

What Was that? His dulled brain seemed to grasp two sounds at once -faint hoof -thuds far to the right and a pattering of feet on the near left. He shrank instinctively, as a. flying, breathless figure resolved it- . • tho rest seemed part of the wildest dream. He only knew that two arras had circled his neck suffocatingly; that sob after sob was breaking against his cheek; that he was star- ing down into the imploring vas of the woman whose love was to be the price of his life's dishonor. "Dave! Dave! Not for me -not for all the money in this world! Qttickl T. heard all; I've rislced all and come to sale youl Let that man pass froe fled I willanswer! 1 vvill pay!"

Next instant, little guessing at the tragedy that hal waited in his path, Lembert Little - wood, the mining eepert, had vanteh- ed in the gloom arid a wild cry of reaction brel broken from Sheila's lips. ."Ify darling!, Quick!

Many persons who suffer from cold extrereities accept the discomfort as re condition which is enthral, and therefore beyond tlieir control. The remedy really lies with themselves, and does not consist in hugging the stove or staying indoors, or in any other artificial protection. The reason one feels cold first in the extremities is not alone because they Etre the remotest points reached by the blood in its circulation, but also because they contain 0, network of the minute blood -vessels known cis capillaries, in sybich the bloocl cur- rent tends to stagnate, When this happens, the nerves, unwarmed by. fresh blood, ache bn consequence. The small boy who leaves a warin, house on 11. cold winter morning usu-; ally starts on tho run, or romps about for a while in the snow, This : activity gives such an impetus to his circulation by the rapid breath- I ing which it necessitates that the boy is soon in a glow. Not every one can imitate the boy's activity or enjoy his fen, but all can imitate hi:; breathing, Breathing completes the circelation. The heart pumps the blood out through the arteries, which become sinaller and smaller until they are microscopic. This may be in the wall of the heart itself or in the great toe, but wherever it is the blood current there bocomes almost stagnant. at is as if a river had do- bouched into a broad lake. On the other side of the lake are the venous I capillaries with which the arterial capillaries connect, and which carry I tho blood back to the heart. The question whether the blood shall I stagnate here or be frequently re- , neWed is, then, a matter of peovid- I ing for its speedy entrance into the I venous capillaries and its subsequent ! movement through the larger veined to the heart. This in turn is a anal- I tor of breathing, because breathing by its suction -like actions -the so- called aspiration of the thorax, -ac - tolerates the speed of the blood on AS return to the heart. A deep breath thus inakes its infitlence. felt at those distant points where blood is halting and nerves are Waning. The rule for keeping warm is, there- fore, first to clear the nose and then to breathe well, both deeply and rapally,-Youth's Companion.

This is easily prov- ed by taking the plant (tut of the pot when it, will usually be found that there is a lot of soil with no roots, in which case tee soil is very often sour, When a plant stands still, ev- en for rest, after vigorous flowering, there is always danger of losing tho small roots and few plants will start them over again, Far better keep the pots root bound, especially as so many plants will blossom best in that condition. I have kept cer- tain plants several years without re, potting by applying surface fertiliz- er, but tbis could only be done where the pot is rather small for the plant.

The result is to be reached by the combination of a powerful Roentgen Illy and a specially contrived photo- graphic apparatus operated on the prinoiple of the kinetoscope. This machine, if constructed, would be so timed as to correspond with the pul- sations of the itorrial human heart, The proposal to thus lay bare the innermost secrets of anatomy was auggested by Dr. Rassabia,n in a paper road before the convention of the American Roentgen Ray society in Houston hall, University of Pen- nsylvania,. It aroused instant at- tention, and has been the subject of widespread comment. INSISTS ON FEASIBILITY.
