I reached behind and took my rifle from the gun boy who had come up with equal eelerity and bravery. I drew a bead on the old fellow but I could not shoot. A stupid- er or more ludicrous looking object I never saw. I began talking to him, but it did not rouse him from his lethargy. There he stood, half asleep and totally oblivious, while I, with the gun half aimed, talked to him about his ugly self. About this time my porters came into hearing on a path behind the rhino. He pricked up his ears and blundered off in that direc- tion. I heard the loads dropping as the portera made for the trees.

Another remedy calls for equall parts of lard, salt and turpentine. Mix the latter'then rub in well and toast the feet before the fire. Whatever is used, the feet should first be soaked in the hot soapy water, with more hot water added as needed. Another correspondent advises us- ing ammonia after the bath: Others have been relieved by using one of the ointments containing menthol. Cam- phorated oil or camphorated vaseline 'will also relieve, but raust be rubbed in gently. Alum water is recommend- ed, but must be hot of course. Iodin is another remedy, which will give re- lief; it is applied by means of a small brush, but must not be used if the skin has broken. Try to prevent the break- ing of the skin, for if this occurs, the spot heals very slowly, and care must be taken to avoid infection. A boraeic oiatment will usually heal, but if the sore does not respond to treatme-at have it examined by a physician. NO GENERAL CURE FOR WARTS. As warts vary as to size and con- dition, and appear and disappear in a most unaccountable way, it is almost impossible to find a general cure. There are numerous remedies which can be tried, but like those suggested for chilblains no one remedy seems to cure all cases. Home remedies are endless. One person recommends bicarbonate of soda, moistened with kerosene, the mixture to be bound on the warts until they have disappeared. Washing soda is also recommended. A lump of wash- ing soda, the size of a walnut, is dis- solved in half.a cupful of water. Ap- ply this solution to the warts several times daily and at bedtime, using a small brush for the purpose. Cinna- mon oil has been declared a sure cure, but this, too, fails at times. This oil, like the soda, is applied with a bruah; be careful not to touch the surround- ing tissue. The systematic use of the following lotion is highly recommended: Sali- cylic acid, one dram; flexible collodion, me ounce. Mix well. Paint on the strait with a camel's-hair brush several times a day for two or three days, leaving the wart undisturbed. At the end of that time soak the wart in water, then scrub with a pumice -stone. This usually brings away part of the hard covering. Repeat the treatment until the wart has disappeared. Very small warts can sometimes be removed by lemon -juice or by simply keeping them dry and applying bor- acic acid powder. Warts have fibrous roots and if these are very long the removal of the wart is difficult.

The red room was scarcely more than an cozy alcove set off the main His entrance was upon a scene of agitated storm. His cousin was in the outer office facing a clerk. In his eyes there was a cold fury of anger that surprised Kirby. He had known James always as self -restrained to the point of chilliness. Now his anger seemed to leap out and strike savagely. "Gross incompetence and negligence, Hudson. You are discharged, sir. I'll not have you in my employ an hour longer. A man I have trusted and found wholly unworthy." "I'm sorry, Mr. Cunningham," the clerk said humbly. "I don't see how (4529 I lost the paper, if I did, sir. I was 4529, Flannel, jersey cloth, twill or serge could be used for this model.

With the season of mince pies, fruit cakes and plum puddings upon us, what housewife doesn't think with dread of the sticky, messy chopping of raisins, citron, prunes and various candied fruits and peels? • I know I did until I leaaned that by placing the chopper in hot water until it became thoroughly heated, all these things could be run through it with- out any of the usual unpleasant sticki- ness. It is an economy, too, since very little of the goodness of the fruits is left in the chopper. A COLORED TWINE BALL. When using any of the rinsing col- ors for cottons and silks, one may take "Frankly, James, I think you were parcels received and dip in whatever very careful when I took the deeds and leases out of the safe. It seems hardly possible—" "But you lost it. Nobody else could have done it. I don't want excuses. You can go, sir." Cunningham turn- ed abruptly to his cousin. "The sheets of paper with the Japanese writing have been lost. This man, by some piece of inexcusable carelessness, took them with a bundle of other docu- ments to my lawyer's office. He must have taken them. They were lying with the others. Now they can't be found anywhere." "Have you phoned to your lawyer?" asked Kirby. " 'Phoned and been in person. They are nowhere to be found. They ought to turn up somewhere. This clerk probably dropped them. I've sent an advertisement to the afternoon papers." Kirby was taken abaci at this un- expected mischance, but there was no use wasting nerve energy in. useless fretting. lie regretted having left the papers with James for he felt that in them might be the key to the mystery of the Cunningharn case. But he had no doubt that his cousin was more dis- tressed about the loss than he was. He comforted himself with the reflection that a thorough search would prob- ably restore them, anyhow. Ile asked Hudson a few questions and had the man show them exactly where he had picked up the papers he took to the lawyer. ,Tames listened, his anger still simmering.

In short, when Miss Harriman was present, it seem- ed, no less than the clothes she wore an expression of her personality. After a very few minutes Miss Phyllis sauntered into the room and gave her hand to the man who rose at her entrance. She was simply but expensively gowned. Her smile was warm for Kirby. It told him, with a touch of shy reluctance, that he was the one man in the world she would rather meet just now. He did not know that it would. have carried the same meesage to any one oaf half a dozen men. "I'm so glad you came to see mei' she said, just as though she were in the habit of receiving young men at eleven in the morning. "Of course I *ant to know you better. James thinks sb much of you." "And Jack," added Lane, smilingly. "Oh, yes, Jack, too," she said, and laughed outright when their eyes met. "I'm sure Jack's very fond of me. He can't help showing it occasionally." "Jack's—impulsive," she explained, "But he's amenable to influence." "Of the right sort. I'm sure he would be." He found himself the object of a piquant, amused scrutiny under her long lashes. It came to him that this Paris -gowned, long -limbed young sylph was more than willing to let him become intrigued by her charms. But Kirby Lane had not called so early in the day to fall in love. "I carne to see yell, Miss Harriman, about the case," he said. "My. good name is involved. I must clear it. I want you to help me." He saw a pulse of excitement flut- ter -in her throat. It seemed to him that her eyes grew darker, as though some shadow of dread had fallen over them. The provocative smile van- ished. "How can I help you?" she asked. "If you would answer a few ques- tio'n'IVITa"t questions?" All the softness had gone from her voice. It had be- come tense and sharp,. merits.

The advantage in making the coin - fort in this way is that the batting is held in place by the inside cover and at„any time the comfort is soiled it is only necessary to open one end and slip the batting out. 4,- Minard's Liniment for Danciruff. Minard's Liniment Heals Cuts. Men Who Must Wear Beards. It is one of the King's regulations that a Beefeater must wear a beard. This beard is required only on State occasions, but all members of the Yeo- men of the Guard have to report to the Adjutant at St. James's Palace for beard inspection at certain regular in- tervals. In the Middle Ages Beefeaters used to protect and attend the Sovereign, and it was their duty.to taste and cook all food served to him. They also had to make the King's bed. The "Yeomen Bedhangers" stuffed the mattress and arranged the cur- tains, while the "Yeomeir Bedgoers" rolled on the bed to see that it was well made. The letters Y.B.H. and Y.B.G. are still afaxed to certain names on the roll.' Since their institution in the reign of Henry VII. the costume of the Beef- eaters has varied very little, and the large ruff round the neck still forms a very important part of it. It is the wish.of the King that the Yeomen of tb.e Guard should be repro. sentative, if possible, of every regi- ment, but most members are drawn from the Guards. The warders of the Tower of Lon- don are also known as Beefeaters. They form a separate body and are of more recent origin than. the Yeomen of the Guard.
