Many babies have been launched Intc life with constitutions weakened by disc ate taken in with their mother's milk. Mothers cannot be too careful as to the food theyuse while nursing their babes. Tho experience of a Kansas City mother Is a case in point: "I was a great coffee drinker from a child, and thought I could not eat o meal without it. But I found at last It was doing me harm. For years I had been troubled with dizziness, spots be fore my eyes and pain In my heart, to which waB added two years ago, a chronic sour stomach. Tho baby was born 7 months ago, and almost from the beginning, It, too, suffered from sour stomach. She was taking It frrtm me! "In my distress I consulted a friend of more experience than mine, and she told me to quit coffee, that coffee did not make good milk, I have since ascertained that It really dries up the milk. "So, I quit coffee, and tried tea and nt last cocoa. But they did not agree with me. Then I turned to Postum Coffee with the happiest results. It proved to be the very thing I needed It not only agreed perfectly with baby and myself, but it Increased the flow of my milk. My husband then quit cofee and used Postum, quickly got well of the dyspepsia with which ho had been troubled. I no longer suffer from the dizziness, blind spells, pain In "my heart or sour stomach. Post um has cured them. "Now we all drink Postum from my husband to my seven months' old baby. It has proved to bo tho best hot drink we have ever used. We would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever drank. Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Get the little book "Tho Road ta Wellvllle" In each pkg.

Smlthers has already gone, deslr oub of safely delivering tho missive before tho consul Is wholly hedged In by tho crowd that usually surrounds him. Whatever Jack has written appears lo deeply Impress tho quiet gentleman who for years has represented the United States In Cuba. Ho reads It through, and placing It In his pocket, says to Smlthers: "Tell Mr. Travers I will bo on my guard, and ready to respond to his message at any tlmo of the day or night." When Jack hoars this ho feels con siderably relieved. With the power of tho United Slates government behind lilra he cannot seo much to fear In the situation. While- Smlthers was absent on his mission, Jack has by rare good luck discovered the party for whom he has ben searching. Senor Robndo Is looking quite his best, and his distinguished appearance arouses considerable curiosity, though the glances leveled at him are quickly transferred to tho wondrous fair face at his elbow. Among the sable-haired senorltas of Spain or Cuba one so purely a blondo as Jessie Cameron must always attract an uuusual share of notice. Jack literally feasts his eyes upon her. Ho wonders when this miserable farce will have been played to Its limit when he may dare claim this dear one for his own. Tho game Is galling him and he frets under It. Have patience, Senor Jack; that Jade For tune Intends to give her wheel a merry whirl on this night of tho Captain General's reception, and if you remain on the qui vlve, It Is possible the profit may fall to your share. Eternal vigi lance Is the price of success in love ns well as in war. Smlthers now leaves his patron for a time. Ho has a gamo of his own to look after. Slnco Gomez has deter mined to visit the grand reception, and seo his enemy face to face, thoso who are concerned for tho safety of the great Insurgent leader have plenty to worry them. Perhaps the keen wit of tho detec tive has been levied upon to produce additional features that will ensuro the safety of the man upon whom the Cubans in rebellion rely more than any other for leadership. Tho pas sage of events will prove this. Ever and anon Jack casts his eyes after the little party. The crush be comes great, and many seek tho ring in order to secure relief. Fearful lest ho may lose sight of her In the great crowd, Jack pushes after, and as luck w HI have It, discovers the object of his search with a look of distress upon her face, the pressuro of tho surging populace having separated her from the others. And Jack, stilling the mad throbbing of his heart, pushes close to where she stands, sheltered by a pillar. CHAPTER XXVII. Jack Cuts the Gordlan Knot. And yet she has not seen him, al though he is so near ho might put out his hand and touch her rounded arm. Ah! As her anxious gaze wanders this way and that, her eyes rest upon his face. Jack no longer endeavors to dlsgulso himself, since his enemies know of his presence, and he might get Into trouble with tho authorities while sailing around under a name and conditions that do not agree with his passport. She starts plainly the blood rushes, surges to her face, bathing cheeks and Jack literally feasts his eyes upon her. brow and neck with its rosy hue. Yo sods, how beautiful sbo looks while thus bathed In blushes! Poor Jack Is unable to drag his eyes away, even though he risk his queen's displeas ure by continuing to stare so boldly. Hard lines, indeed, when a poor fel low takes desperate chances in sim ply looking at his own wife. Does she frown? Will my lady turn her head haughtily aside and Ignore him, overcome by recollections of the past? Perhaps who can say? she has not forgotten the black-eyed beauty on tho milk-white horse whoso life Jack saved on that terrible night of the battle, and whom he had called "Lola urn . "lOrtRht, 1M;. by Street unit Smith Montez"- n thousand chances to one the nnmo has burned In her mind ever slnco that night of adventure. 1-nst of all,' he belongs to her at least, by Scottish law; and If the secret of n heart over shone In mortal eyes. Jnck reveals his passion nt that moment. So, Instead of the cold treatment he expects and fears, the young squlro Is amazed and dellghlod beyond measuro when she reaches out a hand and catches hold of his sleeve. Well, he mnkes no effort to break away, but meekly submits to his fate Indeed,' nothing would suit hint better and cure the aching void In his henrt soon er than that she continue to hold him thus Indefinitely. "I am pleased to seo you, Squire John. You find me n distressed female separated from the rest of my party. I must appeal to you to stand by me until I can rejoin them; and I had In tended when next wo met to ask your pardon for my rudeness on tho occa sion of our singular introduction. I forbade you to ever address me. I was not myself. You cau Imagine the conditions of my mind. You have nobly kept your word, and yet what do I not owo to your bravery? I want you to sny you can pardon my treatment of you, and promise to be one of my friends." Sho says this hurriedly, as though not quite sure that sho may gel through without being overcomo by confusion. Jack hears and exults. His hour of triumph is at hand. She no longer bids him keep his distance and freezes him with haughty looks. Instead, she opens tho way to her friendship perhaps more. His first impulse is to eagerly seine upon tho golden opportunity. Then, upon second thought ho hesl tntos. Perhaps sho Is grateful be cause of his risking a llfo in her be half. Bah! Gratltudo Is far from what ho seeks it Is tho affection shown by tho dog as It licks a master's hand. Ho wants not that from her. "That wero a position I should be proud to occupy, but I am afraid it is too lato," ho says, slowly. "Too late! I really, I am not quite sure I understand your meaning;" and sho gives him a startled, perplexed look. Many people nro around them, though tho pillar prevents a crush, and yet there Is sometimes a more marked senso of Isolation In a crowd than upon a lonely road. Besides, these people speak Spanish, and are Inter ested In other things than tho two who stand there dose together. Jack has seen this at a glance, and has determined that the die shall be cast then and there. Ho will never bo satisfied until he tins let her know the true state of his mind. Sho may scorn him. Well nnd good, the world Is wide, and ho can go far away; but at least Jack has never yet In all his llfo allowed a game to go against him by default. That Is not the nature of his Anglo Saxon blood. "Forgive me If I am brutally frank. I may never have another chance to speak to you. You asked that wo may bo friends, nnd I have said it could not be, Let me explain In my clumsy way what I mean, You re member, our lives were drawn to gether in a very singular manner. You forbade me to approach you after that strange ceremony to even address you unless I had permission. Please do not interrupt me now. I believe I kept my pledge to tho letter. You will glvo me that credit." "Yes yes. Oh, I was not respon sible for my rude actions, bellevo me. "Although you bound mo to a prom ise not to come to you without an in vitation, there was ono thing you did not demand ono thing I could not have promised had you asked It, be cause It was not In my powor to grant you did not forbid me to lovo tho girl whom a kind Fato had brought across my path. There, I have said it. Now ao with mo what you will," and he endeavors to nerve himself to hear his fate. And Jessie was ever a girl placed In a moro remarkable position? No wonder sho lets her eyes drop, nnd toys desperately with her fan. "You love me?" she almost whis pers; but whoso hearing is so keen as that of a lover? "I do I swear It! I lovo you with every atom of my being. If I could win a response from your heart 1 should be the happiest man on earth. Have I made you angry in telling you this?" "N-no," sho replies, still looking down. "You do not dislike me?" "Certainly not" promptly, for the way in which ho carried himself in those trying scenes has made him a hero in her eyes. "Tell me," he asks, suddenly eager ly "would you glvo me a . blessed hope " "No, no, I did not say that. Ycu have taken me by surprise; this place Is so public. Do have pity on me, Senor Jack, and another time, under moro appropriate conditions, perhaps we may come to an understanding." "Another tlmo may never come to me. You are surrounded by danger. They even plot to put me out of the way so there may be no legal obstacle to your becoming the wife of the man who would have personated mo In Rillnhiireh-" ' You moan Mr. Spencer. I abhor him " "I am delighted, to hoar It. but nil the same your guardian hopes to man ago things that way. Ono word from ou to mo nt any tlmo will ond your persecution, end their plotting." "A sluglo word?" "Yes. It Is 'come.' I shall under stand what It means. But I bog of you do not let gratltudo have any influonco with you. I demand n return ot what I glvo tho deep nnd lasting affection of the heart. With mo It must bo all or none. But I seo tho senor making his way toward us. Forglvo mo If I hnvo been bold. I could not help it. Perhaps It would bo hotter If 1 should not bo seen by your guardian. I will pass on, but remain closo by. Good bye." Ho squeezes her hand In his hearty way, so full of warmth. Sho cannot but contrast It with tho cold manner In which Spencer does tho Bamo thing, his hand is clammy ami apparently as bloodless ns a snake. Jack has made amazing progress far better than his wildest hopes. If this wero tho sum total of his "I am pleased to see you, Squire John." gains ho would feel repaid a thousand fold for coming to tho great reception. Sho docs not dislike him; he hns even a fair reason to bellevo sho may bo learning to lovo hint. Whnt rapture In tho thought! How ho figuratively hugs himself as he contemplates a possible happy day when he may re ceive from her the "open sesame" to her heart In tho simple word "como"! Heaven speed tho hour, for ho has grave fears lest theBo unscrupulous plotters may overwhelm him. Once sho canto lo hint as his own wifo tho wholo fabric of their machinations must fall In ruins. That Is why ho mentally prays tho happy day may not be faro distant. Ho watches from a llltlo distance, and sees the others Join Jessie. It Is hard for Jack to take his eyes from her, but tho coming of Smlthers tells him other events of an exciting order nro about to transpire. "Come, Senor Jnck; make your way with mo to tho barrier. From that point wo have an uninterrupted view of tho amphitheater. You see, tho den of tho bull Is on our left, nnd should he tako a sudden notion to Issue forth In order to pay his respects to the Captaln-Genernl, we will bo In line to see him tumble thoso bravo musi cians head over heels, and watch the fight of tho Innocents who so proudly strut about the arena now." "Don't mention It, I beg," says Jack, with a shiver; for he notices that many of thoso who promenndo are ladles. "Well, look across. You seo wo are Just about on a level with tho Captain General's box, where ho sits In all his pomp nnd panoply receiving citizen and soldiers" lowering his volco to a whisper "little dreaming that within ten feet of hint stands the noblo hero who Is tho head and front of this up heaval In the onco over-faithful Isle General Gomes." (To be. continued.) PEACOCKS FOR THE TABLE. Much Esteemed in Olden Times as an Edible. Peacocks are said to have been among the treasures of the East sent to King Solomon. The Romans es teemed them very highly for the ta ble, and In England young pea fowls aro O.ought a great luxury. In tho old days of chivalry tho dish waB called "tho food of lovers nnd tho meat of lords." Tho peacock was served upon a golden dish and carried to table by a lady of rank, attended by a train of highborn dames and dam sels, accompanied by music. On tho occasion of a tournament tho success ful knight was appointed to carve it. Ho was obliged to regulate his por tions so that each Individual, bo the company ever so numerous, might tUEte, and If ho had any vow to make, rising front his seat nnd extending his hands, lie exclaimed, "I vow to God, to tho blessed'Vlrgln, and to the pea cock." In Shakespiaro's time tho bird was served up In a pie, thb head, richly gilt, being placed at ono end of tho dish, and tho tall spread out in its full circumference at the other. By the Chinese, It may be added, the featlArs are much valued for decorat lng the caps of the mandarins, threo feathers marking tho highest honor to which a mandarin can aspire. Mrs. Carnegie. Mrs. Carnegie, wifo of the million aire, though tho daughter of an old New England family, Is as devoted to Scotland as her husband. She takes great Interest In his philanthropic enterprises and does a lot of good to tho poor In her own unostentatious way. Mfllii idtHy 1 HI WJ jj" hi ' I f j?JwftfflVl,,WVWl FRESH AIR FOR Most Effective Weapon With Dreaded t0jtftflflfyffl Tho following abstracts from an nr tlclo by J. K. Slubbert, M. D., hi 1ho Medical Record, should recelvo wldo and enrcful attention. No doubt If theso Ideas could bo carried out, tho "white plaguo" would be robbed ot much of Its terror: In ancient times It was highly Im proper to exposo n tuberculous pa tient, cspcclnlly ono beyond tho first stage, to a breath of fresh nlr except on tho ntlldost days In summer, whllo tho night air wns dreaded nnd nvoldcd as tho plague. Then tho moro observ ant nnd thoughtful mon notlcod that thoso who lived moro In tho open nlr did not dlo ns quickly as tho hot-houso patients, nnd they began to urgo an outdoor llfo nnd moderate exercise as a prophylactics as well as a euro for thoso In tho early stages of con sumption. Thoso In tho moro advanc ed stages were allowed fresh nlr only when it was nt summer tempornturo, but even this wns better than being kept Indoors In warm, lllvcntllnted rooms tho wholo year. There arc several plnns by which the victim of tuberculosis may con tinuously breathe pure, fresh nlr by night as well as by day. Sleeping out In tho open air is not harmful to a largo majority ot tuberculous people. Mlllot, of Brockton. Mass., reports tho cases ot flvo patients whom ho recommended to sleep out of doors nt night. They wero, allowed no root over their heads except in rainy wenther. They wore soft felt hats and cotton nightshirts, sleeping under ordinary bedclothes In bods arranged on the roofs ot their houses. Im provement tvoB noted In two frocks. Coughs disappeared, temperatures be came normal, respirations were easier and weight Increased rapidly. No at tention wns paid to dampness and drafts, and heavy dews wore regarded as Inconvenient simply because of tho necessity of drying ho bedclothes. Sleeping lu a small room with nn open window does not appear to bo nearly so beneficial to tho patient as when the nights are passed on a ver anda or In a tent where there is a free circulation of air on all sides. It a patient wero fortunnto enough to have a largo room with n southern'ex posure nnd contnlnlug ono or two open fireplaces, lu addition to lnrge windows on threo sides, which might bo opened at night, ho might derlvo npproxlmately tho benefit Incident to tent life. McGraham, ot South Carolina, pre fers tho circular to tho army tent, nnd thinks It better to place It' on a plat form two feet from tho ground, nnd to do without carpotB and draperies. Draperies aro not necessary, but rugs ndd greatly to tho comfort and con venience of thoso In 111 health, and their use can bo mnde perfectly safe by exposing them to tho sunlight tor a few hours dally. Special Hospitals for Consumptives. A hundred years ngo tho city of Naples, Italy, erected a larto hospital for consumptives, and required the Isolation of all persons suffering from this disease. It Is only recently, how ever, that tho authorities of modern cities havo become awakened to the Importance of this sanitary measuro. Recently a number ot cities have taken Biops for the establishment of hospitals especially for the treatment of cases ot consumption by tho so cahed "open-air method." Excellent results aro reported from this method ot treatment. Tho German government has a largo central committee numbering moro thnn thirteen hundred persons, organized for the purpose cf erecting hospitals for the treatment of tuber culosis. This committee hns under Mb supervision seventy-four such hospi tals, and last year treated over thirty thousand patients, of whom eighty per cent wero returned to their homes practically cured after rcmalniug la the hospitals on an nverago of a llltlo less than threo months. An Extra Good Appetite. A good appetite Is a symptom of good health. An extra good appetite is sometimes a symptom of constitu tional disturbance somewhere. A snm plo letter Bent to the "Questions and Answers" column of a prominent health Journal was something like this: "I nm troubled with pimples, not to n great extent, but ttlll very annoying. They appear principally on the fore head, but occasionally on other places, I often feel languid, and tiro easily, and cannot gain flesh, although I have an extra good appetite. Still I ant not sick, and have not been lu bed for a day In my life. Age, nineteen years. Will you kindly advise mo what you think would remove these pimples?" There Is llttlo doubt but that the "extra good appetlto" alluded to af fords the key to the situation. The di gestive organs have more than they can tako care ot, and consequently o not properly take care of anything fur nished. There will be frequent head aches, skin disorders and alternato con stipation and diarrhea with such per sons. Pimples are a natural result of such depraved blood conditions. With many people the habit ot hearty eating Is continued when tho warm spring days come. Food which was appropriate when the thermomet er was at zero is continued in the eamo quality and quantity when tho thermometer rises to ninety degrees in tho sun, and averages abovo sixtr nil day and night.

Tho Chicago school board hat been having a medical examination ot certain pupils beforo allowing them ti tako part In certain athletic sports. Boj-b and girls were subjected to tho sniuo examination. Not one girl wni found unable to pass, while a large number of tho boys, In nlmost every cttso smokers, wero found to bo In a physical condition which mndo violet. oxcrclso ot any kind very dangerom. Twenty-one out ot a hundred wero found unlit, nnd all but three suffered front some form of heart trouble. Al most without exception the unlit ones wero clgnrotto smokers. How to Earn Sound Sleep. All doctors are not bo careful ot tho welfare of their patients ns they might be. Hero Is a story of ono who went to tho limit. He la the proprie tor ot n famous health resort not far front . When ho receives a pa tient for treatment ho says: "Now, I want It understood tltut tin less you do exactly as I say, there t no use of your Btnylng." r This rule sometimes1 requires htm to bo very harsh, but ho never lies4tatM. Ilo acts on the theory that he cau bet tor afford to offend a single patient and lose him that to havo that pa tient go back homo and toll his friends Dr. So-nnd-So had done him no good, relates tho Washington Star. Not long ago a well-known clergy man went to this resort for treatment. Tho doctor looked him over upon his r.rrlvnl and Etild: "While you nre hero you must tako long walks every day." "But I can't tako walks," replied tho parson. "I haven't dono any walk ing for years. My henrt won't stand it" They argued the question quite warmly. As tho clergyman and doc tor wero good friends, the latter was moro lenient than usual. However, ho bided his tlmo. Tho noxt after noon the physician said to tho clergy man: "It's n nice day. I would like you to go horseback riding with me." Riding thoy went. When they wero about eight miles from the sanitarium tho physician said: "Oh, doctor, won't you get me thnt flower by tho road Bide? I don't like to leave this horse." As soon ns tho clergyman was on the ground tho doctor galloped off with both horBes, and the clergyman was compelled to walk back to tho sanitarium. Upon his nrrlvel he wa3 very angry, and was for packing up nnd leaving at once. Thero was no train that night, so ho was forced to Btay a few hours longer. Tho next morning he camo down radiant und gcoil natured. "Doctor," said he, "I was pretty sore nt you last night, but I lorgUo everything. I have had tho first good Bleep-1 havo enjoyed In months.
