"Ali! I 'mow, I know!" muttered Lazarus, rubbing his hands together; "well, well, can you keep books?" "Yes, I have been accustomed to do "Are you liee.est?" Keith laughed, generally considered so."

"On trial, mind on trial," muttered the old man cautiously, "I'm „quite agreeable," replied Keitif ooMplaceatly, hoping that by the time his trial is over he would be on the staff of some paper, "Whet are the • houre?" "Nirte, xny dear," said Lazarus, stroking his beard, "nine till six, with half -an -hour for something to eat in tha day -a bun and a cup of coffee - don't be extravagant."

"Yes! yes! quite right; but no horse -racing, no gambling, no women -they're the dealt, my dear, the devil." "You're rather hard on the sex, father," eaid Ezra, satirically, "consid- qring how useful they are to you." "Aha! quite right, quite right," chuckled the old man. "Oh, I know flue ladies; they come to old Lazarus for money -to sell dianaouds-aha my dear, there's lots of diamonds in that Safe, he, he!" "I wonder you're not afraid of being rebbed," said Keith. The old man looked up with a sud- den gleam of euspicion in his eyes.

"Personally?" asked Keith, where- upon eft. Laiarus suddenly became deaf. , • - "Yee, yes, a fine woman; ruins every_ body, ruins 'em body and soul, and laughs at 'em, like the fiend she is:" Ezra looked at his paternal relative in disgust, and took Keith's arm. "Come along," he said, "I've got an en- gagement." "Good boy, good boy," muttered his parent, nodding We head, "make Money, my dear, make—" here an- other fit of coughing interrupted him, and Ezra hurried Keith away, . "Faugh!" said Ezra, lifting up his hat waete they were in the street; "how I hatethe miasma of that place; It's like an upas tree, and kills all who dome within its circle." "Do you think your father knows Caprice?" asked Keith, as they walked down Bourke street, "Can't tell you," .answered Lazarus, coelly; "I shouldn't be surprise- he knows half the women of 'Melbourne. When a spendthrift wants money, he goes to nee father; when a woman is In trouble, she goes there also; in spite ofher lovers, Caprice is such an extravagant woman that I've no doubt She's had dealings with my father. If the secret life of Lazarus, the pawn- broker, were only written, it would be very interesting, I assure you." "I'm glad I got the place," said Keith, thoughtfully; "it isn't much, but Will keep me alive till I get on my feet." "You are sure to drop into a news- paper aPPointment," replied Emil; "and ot course I will do my best for you." "You're very good," answered Keith, gratefully. "Ha, ha, what queer tricks the jede Fortune plays us. I come to Melbourne full of poetic dre,ams, and find tny fete in pawnbroker's office - it Isn't rontantic, but it's bread anu butter." "Yo'u're not the first poet who has gone to the pawnbroker." "I expect I'm the first that ever went on sucn good terms," retorted Keith, shrewdly. CHAPTER V. Aceording to some driter, "Human beings are Moulded by circumstances," and truly Kitty Marchurst, better known as Caprice, was an excellent il- lustrations of this remark. The daughter of a Ballarat clergy- man, she was a cbarming and pure - minded girl, and would doubtless have married and became a happy svoman but for the intervention of circum- stances in the form of M. Gasten Van- deloup. This gentleman, an ex-eim- vict, and a brilliant a,nd fascinating scoundrel, ruined the simple, cortfid- Ins girl, and left her to starve in the streets of Melbourne. Prom this ter- nble fate, hOwever, she was rescued by Mrs, Villiers, who had known her as g child, and it seemed as though she would once more be happy, when cirs cumstances again intervened, and througlt her connection with a poisoning ease, she was again thrown on the world. Weary of existence, she was about to drown herself in the Yana, when Vandeloup met her, and tried to push her in. With a sudden craving for life, she struggled with htm, mid he being weak for want of food, fell in and was drowned, while the unhappy girl fled away, she knew net Whither. A blind instinct led her to "The Borne for Fallen Women," founded by 4 Miss Rawlins, who had herSelf been an unfortunate, and here for a time the weary, brokensheatcd woman found rest. A tiIld, of which Van. deloup Wee the ether, catile to cheer her lonelisass, it would comfort her in the future. But the Wile Of evil lin- , planted in her breast by Vandeleali began to bear fruit, and with return- ing health came a eraYing for excite- ment, She grow weary of the narrow, wale life she was leading -for young bleed bounded through her viens-and she was still beautiful and brilliant. So, much against the wish- es of the matron of the institution, she left the plate) and returned to the stage, The Wopples family, with WhOill she slad previously acted, had gone to America, and she was alone in the world, without a single friend. She called herself Caprice for her real name and 'hietory were too notorious for 'ouch a public career as she had chosen. All avoided her, and this worked her ruin. Had one door been open to her -had one kind hand been stretched forth t� save her -oho might have redeemed the post; but the self- righteous Pharisees of the world con- demned her, and ia despair she deter- mined to defy the world by giving it back in scorn for scorn. It was a 'terribly hard and, dreary life she led at first -no friends, very lit- tle money, and a child to SuPpert. The future looked black enough be- fore her; but she determined to suc- ceed, and Fortune at length favored her. Site was playing a minor part in a Christmas burlesque, when the lady who acted the principal character sud- denly fell ill, and Kitty had to Mite her place at a very short notice. She, however, acquitted herself so well that with one bound, she became a Popular favorite, and the star still continuing 111 for the rest of the run of the piece, she was able to consoli- date the favorable impression she had made. • She awoke to find herself famous, and played part after part in burlesque and modern comedy, always with great success. In a world, she became the fashion, and found herself both rich and famous, Ted Mortimer, the manager of the Bon -Bon Theatre, persuaded her to try opera-bouffe, and she made her first appearance in the Grand Duch- ess with complete success. She fol- lowed up her triumph by playing the title roles in Girofle Girofla, La Peri - chole, and Boccaccio, scoring brilliant- ly each time! and now she has creat- ed the part of Prince Carnival, which proved to be her greatest success. Night ,after night the Bon -Bon was crowded, and the opera had a long and successful run, while Kitty, now at thd height of her bine, set herself to work to accomplish her revenge on the world. She hated women for the way they had'scorned her, and she detested men for the free and easy manner in waich they approached her; so she made Up her,mind to ruin all she could, and suceeedea admirably. One after an- other, not only the gilded youth of Melbourne, but staid, sober men be- came -entangled in her meshes, and Many a man lived to curse the hour he first suet Kitty Marchurst. lionhe at Toorak was furnished like a palace, and her dresses, jewels, horses'ad. extravagances formed st fruitful topic of conversation in clubs and. draviing-rooms. She flung away thousands, Of pounds in the most reck- less mentor, and as soon as she had ruined one man, took up with another, and tweed her back on the poor one with trateenical sneer. Her greatest delight ton6 to take away other wo- men's ,bands, and many happy homes had she broken up by her wiles and fascinations, Consequently, she was hated and feared by all the Wo- men in Melbourne, and was wrath- fully denounced as a base adventuress, without one redeefning feature. They were wrong; ehe loved her child. Kitty simply idolized Meg, and was always in terror lest she should lose her. Consequently, when she heard how Keith had rescued her child froin a terrible death, her gratitude kilew no bounds. She heard of the young man's ambitions from Ezra, and de- termined to help him as far as it lay in her power. Thus, for the first time for many years, her conduct was actuated by a kindly feeling. The drawing room in Kitty's house at Toorak was a large, lofty apart- : meat, furnished in a most luxurieus style. Rich carpets, low lounging chairs, innumerable rugs and heavy velvet curtains. A magnificent grand piano great masses of tropical foliage In fantastically -colored jars, priceless cabinets of china, and costly, wela - selected pictures. One of her lovers, rieh squatter, had, furnished it for her.. When he had lost all his money and found her cruel and cold, he went 'Q'ff to ate wilds of South Amer - Ica. to try and forget her. There were three ,p'rench windows' at the end of the room, which led out onto a broad verandah, and beyond was the lawn, girdled by laurels. Kitty• sat at a writing -desk reading letters and the morning sun shining throagli the window made a halo roundher golden bead. No one who saw her beautiful, childish face and sad blue eyes would have dreamed how cruel and relentlees a sota lay beneath that fair. exterior. At her feet sat Meg, dressed in a sage -green frock, what her auburn curls falling over her face, playing with a box of bricks, and every noW and then her mother would eteal an affectionate glance at her. Curiously enough, ICitty was read- ing a letter from the very man who had given her the house, and who was now (lying in a pauper hospital in San "'IFfrosin'geivisemyou freely," lie write; "but, eh, Kltty, yo 1,mtgla have feign. ed a love yau did not feel, if Only to spare me the degradation of dying a pauper, alone and without friends!" The woman's face grew dark as she read these pitiful words. and, crush,. Ing up the letter in her hands, she thretV it int° the waste -paper basket with a cynical sneer. "Bahl" she muttered tonteniptuOtts- ly, "does he think to impeSe Oft me with such trick? Feign a love? Yes, kiss and caress him to gratify his vanity. Did I not give him fair warn. lag of the end? And now he whimp. ers about mercy -mercy from me to him--pshawl let hint die and go to his pauper grave, I'll not shed a tear!" And she laughed harshly. At this moment Meg, who bad been building two edifices of bricks, began to talk to herself. "This," said Meg, putting the t011 briek en one building, "is the House of Good, but the other Is the House of Sin.

"Mother," said Meg, nodding her head sagely, "It's the Wicked spirit." Kitty laughed, am:, kissing tile child, drew her closer to her. "Munasey!" "Yes, darling?" "I should like to give the man who stopped the wheels at Present." "What would you like to give him, my precious?" This took some consideration, and Meg puckered up her email face into a frown, "I think,"she. decided at length, "the man would like a knife." "A knife cuts love, Meg." "Not if you get a penny for it," as - meted Meg. wisely. "Bliggings told me; let me get a knife for the man, mumsey." "Very well, dear," said Kitty smil- ing; "the man wil Itlaen know my little daughter has a kind heart." "Meg .is a 'very good girl," assert- ed that sinall personage gravely; and, climbing down off her mother's knee, she began to play with the bricks, while Kitty went on with her corres- pondence, The next letter evidently did not give Kitty much satisfaction, judging by the frown on her face. She had written to Hiram J. Fenton 'asking for some money, and he had curtly rerused to give her any more, She tore up the letter, threw it into the waste -paper basket, and. smiled sar- donically. "You won't, won't you?" she mut- tered angrily. "Very well, my friend, there are plenty of others to give me money if you won't." At this moment there came a ring at the door, and shortly after the servant entered with a card. Kitty took it carelessly, and then started. "Mrs. Malton,"; she muttered,. In a puzzled tone. "Evan Melton's wife? what does she want, I wonder? I thought I was too wicked for virtue to call on me- it appears I'm not." She glanced at the card again, th'en made up her mind. "Show the lady in," she said calm- ly; and when the servant disappear- ed, she called Meg "Mumsey's sweet- heart muet go away for a few minut- es." _ 'What for r, asked, mumsey's: sweetheart, setting her small Mouth. "Mumsey has to see a lady on bust- rt•ess." Meg collected the bricks in a pina- fore, and walked off toe the French window, when she turned. "Meg will play outside," she said Shaking her curls, "and come in. when raunasey calls." Scarcely had Meg vanished when the servant threw open the door and an- nounced,- "Mrs. Melton." A tall, slender girl entered the room quickly, and, as the door closed be- hind, paused a momentand looked steadily at Kitty through her thick veil. "Mrs. Melton?" said Kitty, interro- gatively. The visitor bowed, and, throwing back her veil, displayed a face of great beauty; but she had a restless, pitiful look in her eyes, and occasion- ally she moistened her dry lips with her tongue. "Will you take a seat?'' said tae actress potitely, taking in at a glance the beautiful, tired face and quiet, dark costume of her visitor. "Thank you," repliel Mrs. Melton,. In a low, clear voice, and sat disown in the chair indicated by her hasten, nervously clasping and unclasping her hand e over the ivory handle of her umbrella. She glanced at Kitty again, in a shrinking kind of manner, then, with a sudden effort, burst out quickly, - "I have called -I have -ailed to see you about my -my husband." Kitty's Hp curled, and she resumed her seat with an enigmatical smile. - "Yes; what about him?" "Cannot you guess?" said. Mrs. Melton imploringly. Kitty shook her head in a super- cilious manner. "I am at a loss to understand the cold, measured manner. "I am Evan Melton's wife," said the other rapidly. "We have only been married" a 'year -and -and we have onec hr eilsduen' ,1 pe you did not call on me to inform me of your domestic affairs," replied Kitty mercilessly.

The confidence, with which they annexed , the entire Orient -in their imagine - tions -is the measure of their despair over the news that they have been getting from that quarter, not rapidly, but very steadily, for a good while. In the first two years of the, war it was going to be no trouble at all to eliminate Great Britain from Egypt; the Turks would do that, And with the Bagdad Railway and the Persian Gulf in their possession, the treasures of the Indian princes and the, diamonds of Golconda were not very far away. Dutch colonies would fall into the Ger- man lap. With the collapse of Eng- land, Japan would eat out of Ger- many's hand. Turkey and Persia and Afghanistan and Beluchistan would Yield profits to Berlin and Hamburg and Munich, and a museum was al- ready projected for Stuttgart that would chow German capitalists the easiest routes to the wealth of Ormuz and of Ind. In talking of these things the Ger- man papers scarcely used the future tense. It is not necessary to go to the circumlocution of speaking of what would be by and by; it was just .its well to talk about what is; practi- cally it was achieved. Pooh Bah ex- plained to the Mikado that whatever he ordered was so certain that it might be re,garded as already done. Hence he had taken the liberty of saying that the second trombone artist had been decapitated, when, as a matter of fact, he had not been. In the• confident spirit of Pooh Bab, the Lokal Anzieger declared a couple of years ago that "practically" the route from Hamburg to the Persian Gulf was already German. The four stages on that route were the capture of Antwerp, the bombardment of Bel- grade, Gallipol and Ieut el Amara. Everything else was merely a matter of detail. But the details have, all gone wrong. The Turks did not drive the British out of Egypt, and the Suez Canal I was cured Of terrible lumbago by MINA RD'S LINIMENT. REV, -vim. BROWN.

Through their uee baby thrived wonderfully, and I feel as if I cannot recommend them too highly." Baby's Own Tablets break up colds and simple fevers; cure constipation, colic and indigestion, and make teething easy. In fact they cure all the minor ills of little ones. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Le. s Paper Lifeboats. A paper lifeboat can be packed away in a space of about one cubic foot, but which, when inflated, is seaworthy and durable, is the invention of a retired ad- miral of the Japanese navy. The boat is constructed front the Japanese paper coiled "haehikirazu," which is treated chemically to make It waterproof. The paper comes from the mulberry tree. It Is unusually durable, and possesses great strength when the stresses are in the direction of the fibre. • A thin sheet of paper that is strong when stressed in any direction Is maae 1 by -pasting' together two sheets with the ' fibres crossing at right angles. This is the way in which the paper boats are constructed. The first boat manufactured by the admiral consisted mertly or a large billow with a depression in the center, the whole being infleted with air. Because of the ease wieh which paper can be punctured, it eves neces- sary to change the method of eonstrue- . tion, so several pipe -like bags were made . and placed side by side in the form of a raft, which finally was modifieei to the tically immune to wreck, for even if one or two of the pipesare h oir•esaulbtolast. a life-saving craft prac- araes foTrnhie or broken, the boat pstillnrfeiteuiefictl buoyancy to be seaworthy. Owing to its strength and lightnees, and its waterproof and fireproof qual- ities, this paper is evidently adapted lo a -wide range of uses, among which are the making of coverings for aeroplane wings and for dirigible balloons.

"While camped at 8,500 feet altitude near the head of Fawn creek in the Gallatin range in the northwestern Part of the Yellowstone National Park," writes Vernon Battey, chief field naturalist of the United States biological 'survey, in a book sent to be issued by the National Park service, "I could make out with a field glass, elk herds on the high ridges south, west and north of camp. 13y climbing cautiosly, so as not to disturb the elk, up to 10,000 feet in Quadrant moun- tain south of camp, I was soon in the midst of one of the choice summer ranges. "Small herds and scattered indiv- iduals were seen over the big, open slopes above timber -line: bunches of old bulls with full-grown velvety barns lying on top of the ridges where the wind was strongest and Insects least troublesome; calves and yearlings playing over great snow banks on the cold slopes; and cows peacefully lying In meadows of rich, short grass and clover. Little streams and pools of Ice-cold water Were everywhere and the elk were a pic- ture of .contentment and satisfaction with their ideal summer .home, "After watching them for about en hour a large grizzly bear that had been digging mice on a neighboring slop was seen walking across toward the elk. As he came in view their heads went up and the herds near me gathered into one dense mass ss about 500, old and young, while the bear -walked past elose in front of them and o11 over the ridge, scarcely turning his head to Witless, them, The PAIN EXTERMINATOR Pain?

Never a word is eaid But it trembles in the air, And the truant volce has sped To vibrate everywhere; And perhaps far off in eternal years The echo may ring upon our ears. Never a day is given, But it tones the after years, Andit carries up to heaven Its sunshine or its tear; While the to -morrows stand and The silent silent mutes by the outer gate. There is no end to the sky, And the stars are everywhere, And time is eternity, And the here is over there; For the common deeds of the common day Are ringing bells in the far away. - -11-Ienry Burton, -- Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper. I, . 1 WERE WILD FLOWERS. Originally Chrysanthemum Was Common Field Daisy. The once -despised daisy has become a fashionable flowee within recent years, and is now grown an great guant- ities for market in greenhouses. Like- wise, the dandelion is being improved by cultivation, and, may yet be develop- ed into a really magnificent flower, gold- en yellow, five or six inches in diameter and with petals multiplied in number. The original chrysanthemum, from which all the superb varieties we know to -day are descended, was, In its wild state, no bigger or handsomer than a dandelion. It is found that the latter grows with astonishing rapidity and luxuriance of bloom under cheesecloth shade, Buttercups cif several verities and superior size (the plants being multi- plied by dividing the roots) are now grown in,hothouses; likewise yellow and ied violets. In late winter there is a great demand for cultivated spring -wild flowers, ahead of the season; also for pansies, which themselves were wild flowers anti unknown to gardens up to 1810. In that year a little girl named Mary Bennet, a daughter of the Earl of Tank- erville, undertook to plant in her garden at Walton -on -Thames every variety of pansy she could find. Before long pansy culture became the rage, and even to the present day it Is a popular fad in Europe. Hitherto it has not been found prac- ticable to tame the wild mayflower or training arbutus, but discovery has recently been made of the fact that it will grow luxuriantly in pots if sill) - plied evith soil composed of half -rotted oak leaves mixed with 10 per cent. of sand and a liberal quantity of small, broken bits of old flower -pots for drainage. • Now that this has been ascertalued, It is presumable that the much -admired arbutus will be grown before long in quantities under glass for the late wint- er market. In the wild state it is al- ready rare, owing largely to the eager persistence with which in springtime people seek and pluck the blossoms, or even dig up the plants, thus depriving them of an opportunity to produce seeds and keep the species going. -Exchange, Guard Against Evil Spirit. If a Chinese baby dies, the evil spir- it when releaeed will enter the body of the next child born. In order to pre- vent this calamity, says Wcrld's Work, the parents "tie an egg and EDMO mustard seed to the body of the dead child in the belief that the evil spirit will not appear until the egg hatches and the seed sprouts. The astute par- ents carefully boil the egg and the seed in eider to postpone the date In- definitely.
