Because my orders are the phaeton,"
replies George, carelessly, "and I know
better than to run against 'em; so, if
you've no objection, we'll have the phae-
ton, Mr, Ned"
The man goes to the coach house and
gets out the phaeton, the grays are put
to in a twinkling, and George is adjust-
ing the last strap, when Tial comes into
the yard, carrying his gun and game
bag.
"Iialloal" he says, loud enough for all
to hear. "What do you mean by put-
ting those old crocks in, George?"
George touches bis drat .respectfully,
"Bay's lame, sir," he says, senten-
tiously.
Hal grumbles and growls, after the
manner of an L`nglistman°,, paellas his
bag on to the back seat, Iiia i p his
gun, and climbs into the phaettgrum-
bling all the time.
"Might as well have put a couple of
gray rabbits to," he says, irritably. "We
shall have to get out and carry them up
the hill, Now, then!"
"Very sorry, sir," says George.
"Wouldn't do to take the bays; have
'em lame, sir," and with a, touch of the
drat he jumps up behind, and Hal, with
an impatient flick of the whip, drives
the grays out of the stable yard, Ned
following them up to the very gates,
and leaning over them, to stare after
them.
"Don't look around, sir," says' George,
without leaning forward, "he's watching
us. Keep straight up the hill road—
wait a mniute, sir, let 'em go easy, ;while
you light your pipe!"
"Light my pipe?" asks Hal, inquiring-
ly, but doing as he is advised. "What

"Let 'em think there's nothing your

Hal smiles, leisurely fills and lights
his pipe, then takes 'the reins again, and
drives on.
A few hundred yards above the castle,
the hill road branches to the right and
left, turning both ways amid the thick
pines; to the night lies the villa, to the
left Baden.
"Down the Baden road, sir!" says
George.
Hal, without a word, but with narked
impatience, turns the. horses as direct-
ed, and for five minutes goes away from
the epot to which his longing heart
points, then George leans forward.
"Now, Master Hal," he says, with a
chuckle, "turn 'em around and make for

THE SURGEON'S STORY.
Sir Frederick Treves, the great sur-
geon, gives a picturesque description of
he Burmese woman as he observed her
during his Eastern tour. It is she who
dons the buying and selling, owing to
the =conquerable indolence of the men,
She sits on a low, yellow mat in her stall
and holds up to you a piece of silk. Icer
hands are pretty and there are many
gold bangles on her wrists. A sleek
head and smiling eyes are visible above
the rim of the silk. She holds it up as
a child would hold up its last new toy
for admiration. You ask the price of
this trifle of amber and rose and she
slyly suggests a quite fantastic sum, es
if she were playing at "keeping shop"
You propose to give her half the amount
she has ventured upon. This amuses her
beyond words. She is filled with laugh-
ter, for he just is evidently much to her
liking. Smiling, however, becomes her,
as her teeth are exquisite. Them is
more movement of her shapely fingers
and of supple wrists; tate silk is dropped
and another piece is held up with mute
questioning. You renew the offer of
half the price named for the peace first
shown. She again becomes radiant with
laughter and hides her mouth behind
tea elge of the outstretched stuff. With
infinite shyness she suggests a less ex-
treme mutilation of her original price.
She half whispers the sum as if it were
a possible answer to some absurd con-
undrum. You finally take the silk for
half—for exactly one-half of the sum
originally discussed. She is perfectly
delighted and appears to regard the long
bargaining as the best of fun. It is
all excellent fooling, this playing at
"keeping shop" by a picturescue woman
instead of by a child, but the woman--
like the child—is never a loser at the
simple game. _

Illiterate Native -Born Americans.
The most notable feature of the latest
census bulletin relating to illiteracy among
our population is the statement that there
are fewer illiterates among the children of
foreign -born parents than among those ot
the natives. This is variously accounted for
but the chief reason appears to be based on
the fact that tho greater portion of the for-
eign -born children live in cities, where the
educational opportunities are better than in
the country. In the country the illiteracy
among children is eighty-nine per thousand;
in cities of over 25,000 inhabitants is is only
ten per thousand. This Is a rather remark-
able showing. -r-r-

CHAPTER XXXVIL
Slowly, sleepily—everything goes slow-
ly and sleepily at Forbach—the clock in
the little church tower strikes three.
As it does, before the lingering cadence
of its last stroke has departed, George
who has been lying asleep, or appar-
ently so, on a bench in the stable yard,
arises, and stretches himself, and, with
a yawn that threatens to dislocate his
jaw, exclaims.
"Three o'clock, and here I am forget-
ting my orders!"
• There are two or three stable helps
about, among them the ubiquitous Ned.
. They look up inquiringly and laugh. It
is not often that he forgets his orders.
'Chat's good for you, George," says
one, grinning, "Where are you going?"
George yawns again, and saunters,
hand in pocket; to the stable door.
"Up on the hills after a raven Master
nal wants to bag.'
The hien laugh and go on with their
work, and George, getting out some har-
ness, leisurely proceeds to uncover a
pair of greys, the slowest and oldest
nags in the stud, and has scarcely got
their clothes off than Ned saunters in
and, leaning against tho stall, eyes hila
with affected indifference.
"Going to take the grays, eh?" he
says, inquiringly. 'I thought Mr. Ber-
tram didn't like '01111"
"7tore tae don't, my lad," says George,
curtly. "l'e'af not the sort of a gentle- .
rliali to waste Lis affections on such a
couple of meta as these. The bays,
now, are more fir his trace"
"Tae bays, ani," rays 110,1, looking
over the stable. "Ilallua! where are the
bays:"
Cleorge yawns again,
sinks, and his .temper begins to arise.
"If she does not come," he mutters be-
tween his teeth, "I'll go up to the villa
and settle with the Count,' and instinct-
ively his hand wanders to his side pocket
in which reposes his revolver.
But the count is resited for the pres-
ent, for suddenly a slim figure, dressed
in plain, dark clothes, comes from nin-
th trees, and, panting, Verona
stands before him for u moment—and—
the next is within his outstretched arms.
"My darling, my own Verona I I knew
you would come.'
"Did you ?" ache breathes, with parted
lips, with the color coming and going
softly in her lovely face. "Yes—I should

"Unless what ?" he asks.
"Unless I was dead --or they had kept
me by force," she says, in a low voice,
and with her eyes fixed upon his with
rapt trustfulness.
He stoops and touches her forehead

"Bear hunting as pursued by the Al-
aska native is an interesting game," re-
marked J. P. Gardiner, a Nome miner.
`"I witnessed a bear hunt on Kadiac
Island a few months ago. A big brown
bear, one of the species familiarly known
on Kadiac Island and the other Aleutian
Islands ,was pestering the settlement,
and a native who bore a wide reputa-
tion for prowess among his people de-
cided to go after the animal. Before
starting on the expedition, however, ho
went to his mother and obtained her
permission. His mother was the oldest
woman of the tribe, and without her
consent he wouldn't have stirred an inch.
She gave her consent, so the native hunt-
er, armed only with a knife, started out
Three more of us, with rifls, accompan-
ied him. We agreed among us to al-
low the native to have the first chance
at the bear and to shoot only if he fail-
ed to kill the beast.
"We calve upon the bear in a ravine.
The native crouched on the ground as
the bear came up. We became quite ex-
cited. It was to be a hand-to-hand bat-
tle, and we feared the native would get
the worst of it. As the bear approach-
ed the native it reared on its hind legs.
We had our guns ready for instant ac-
tion. But the guns were not needed.
Quick as a flash the native sprang up
and had his knife plunged into the ani-
mal's heart and was away several steps
before the bear knew what had happen-
ed. It was a death blow, and we pack-
ed the pelt back to Karluk in triumph."

Guessed Half the Truth.
Frederick Starr, professor of anthro-
pology of the University of Chicago, was
about to set off on his two years' visit
to Africa.
"You are going over there to study
the pygmies, aren't you?" said a New
York reporter.
"That guess is only partially correct,"
Professor Starr answered, "for 1 am go-
ing to study other things, too."
He smiled and went on:
"You remind me of a man who called
at a house which the stork had just
visited.
" `Is it a boy or a girl?' said the man.
"`Guess," said the father.
"'A boy,' the visitor hazarded.
"`You're only half right,' the father
answered with ct smile.

The well-known English clergyman,
Rev. E. Griffith -Jones, said the other
day: "Progress, expansion, development,
evolution ---•call it what you will ----is the
master word in the world of spirit as in
the world of life . . . What the philos-
replier tries to do for pure thought, what
r
the scientist tries to do with tri t lie
com-
piexity of nature, that the religious
thinker, organizer, preacher is aiming at
in the spiritual life—to ro'dueo chaos itt-
to order, to resolve conflicting impulsed
and passions into one harmonious master -
Motive."

WAY TO KEEP FISH ALIVE.
Frech Scientists Discover Microscopic
Algae That Are of Great Value.
Consul -General Guenther, of Frank-
fort, Germany, writes of a report that
the French naturalists, Hillard; and
Bruy.uit, have made a discovery with
reference to keeping fish alive which
may be of practical importance.
The reported discovery concerns a tiny
alga, by itself not visible to the naked
eye, which posseses the remarkable pro-
perty of preserving the water in which
it exists in a state ot great purity for an
almost unlimited period. The little plant
posesses also the advantage of multiply-
ing rapidly and thrives in almost all
kinds of fresh water. '1b the naked eya
:the presence Of these algae is noticeable
through the brilliantly green color of th'o
water provided it contains, a large num-
ber of them.
The two scientists have succeeded in
keeping brook trout alive in a large-
sized vessel for six weeks, so that their
tas"E8"'utatileathd of this period'did'not
appear to be impaired in the least. This
is all the more remarkable as it is well
know that otherwise brook trout can
only be kept alive in running water.
Leeches have been rept alive by the
same process one and one-half years
without change of the water. Experi-
ments have already been made to make
practical use of the discovery for the
transportation of live fish.
Live brook trout, for instance, were
shipped• by rail, the journey consumnig
seven hours, at a temperature of 25 de-
grees, in :vessels filled with water to
whieh these algae had been added. The
trout were all fresh upon arrival, while
of others, shipped at the same time in
pure water not containing these algae,
not a single trout arrived relive. The
explanation of this phenomenon is pr•ab-
ably that thees algae, like other green
plants, decompose the carbonic acid ex-
haled by the fish, and so e'eoxidize the
water. The tawo scientists aro also of
the opinion that the algae also render
the poison, which may have been secret-
ed by the fish, harmless.

Those who are prone to alarm In the re-
cent disclosures of fraud and corruption in
high places should take heart of their faith.
Our nation is robust and strong, young and
virile. We shall not die of the national
measles. The disclosures are a warning that
we have the measles,- that is all. As
wo have caught the measles comparatively
early in its development and have gond
physicians, we will get well. It was nearly
a third of a century ago that James Anthony
Froude, the English economist, wrote optim-
istically, "Somehow this world was built
upon moral foundations, and in the long run
it is well with the righteous and fel with the
wicked man."
