CHAPTER X.—(Continued.)
Charlie did not spare himself one
lota.
He had recovered his senses just as
the baron, who had been engaged look
ing after the security of the fair cap
tive, entered the prison.
The baron stormed and raved more
or less when he discovered how they
had been taken In so neatly by this
ex-sailor, whom he looked upon as a
bungler.
Charlie begged the baron to trouble
himself no longer about Capt. Brand,
since Arllne was doubtless by this
time safe on board the steamer.
“Very good," was the baron’s reply,
with a sigh of relief, for he seemed to
be overburdened of late with official
cares, or something that pressed upon
his mind; “but. if you hope to get
aboard before the steamer leaves you
must hurry, for there is just a scant
half hour.
Charlie called for a cab and said
good-by to his friend, the baron. He
would always have a lingering sus
picion Peterhoff was glad to get rid
of him, as though he thought Charlie
and his affairs took up too much of
his precious time, which should be de
voted to matters of more serious con
sequence.

the order to draw in the last gang
plank was given. This sailing at night
was something quite out of the usual
run, but there was a special reason
for it, quite satisfactory to the officials
of the line, and all intended passen
gers, had been warned to be on boaVd
in time.
It happened that Charlie discovered
Capt. Brand in the smoking saloon in
time to keep beyond the range of his
vision.
To Charlie’s astonishment, when
Brand took a notion to retire, he blun
dered into the wrong stateroom, which
chanced to be the one that had been
assigned to Stuart.
This might have been deep design;
but, after carefully considering it from
all sides, Charlie felt disposed to call
it an accident.
He found rest in another room
which the steward opened for him.
And now here they were, with an
elephant on their hands, so to speak,
bound to come into daily and hourly
contact with the strange man whom
they strongly suspected, and with good
reason, of being a most stupendous
fraud.
CHAPTER XT.
Off Fire Island Light
Charlie had written from Antwerp
to certain quarters in London, from
which he might expect to receive posi
tive information regarding Captain
Brand.
He had done this to satisfy Arline.
So far as he himself was concerned
his mind was already made up most
positively.
If Brand was surprised to see Char
lie on board, he gave no evidence of
it.
He concocted some affecting story,
which he spun in Arlino’s ears, and
with such success that he actually
gained a little of his former ascen
dency in her mind, since she was
haunted by doubts wnich it seemed
impossible to dispel.
Artemus amused himself studying
the old mariner. He even played a
few games with him in the smoking
room, where men of all degrees are
socially inclined.
Captain Brand was the same as of
yore.
The tales he spun of his wonderful
adventures in the African deserts
were weird enough to take one’s
breath away.
Artemus listened, almost charmed;
and his interest grew apace until one
day it struck him that the personal
adventures which the captain so mod
estly ascribed to himself had a some
what musty flavor, as became ancient
chestnuts.
This aroused suspicion.
Artemus set about an investigation.
Lo and behold, upon secretly looking
into the captain’s stateroom, while
the gentleman was holding forth among
his cronies above, Artemus discovered
a well-thumbed volume of “Adventures
and Explorations in the Dark Contin
ent.”
The captain’s secret was out.
For once he had carelessly omitted
to keep the source of his knowledge
under lock and key.
Artemus borrowed the volume and
took copious notes, intending to have
a little fun a<. Brand’s expense from
time to time.
He took occasion to relate all this
to Charlie, who, in turn, told Lady Ar
line.
Strange that even this new and
blackening evidence could not wholly
convince her. Filial love must have
had a strong hold indeed upon the ten
der heart of this girl who had from
childhood known so little of parental
tfe affection.
She even invented excuses for him
B —a desire to see in print the map of
the country where he had so long been
a prisoner, and to have his recollec
tion of names revived.
The voyage was on the whole, a
stormy one, but to Charlie it ended all
too soon.
As they neared the shores of Amer
ica the old captain seemed to lose a
goodly portion of his loquacity, and be
came unusually reserved.
Artemus flattered himself that he
was the main cause of this collapse
but Charlie was rather Inclined to be
lieve Capt. Brand had started in to
work up some new scheme looking
to the acquisition and sequestration of
his daughter’s gold.
Charlie hoped to discover how this
fellow—whom he believed be had
known as Capt. Kledge, and Artemus
pretended was a third-rate actor
named Frederick Davenport Macauley
—had ever come into possession of the
facts connected with Capt. Brand of
the lost ship Hespasia.
The fog hung about them exasperat
ingly, and the monotonous hoarse
throated whistle kept up its warning
notes until they were close to Fire Is
land Light, when suddenly the vapor
gave way and the shore of Long Island
appeared in view, already showing the
first signs of spring.
Charlie had perfected what few ar
rangements remained. They would all
go direct to the old Windsor, and there
await the coming of Aleck, when an
interview between him and Arline
must result in happiness all around.
It seemed simple enough, yet none
of them for an instant suspected what
tremendous things awaited them in
this magnificent capital of the New
World, or the forces which might yet
be arrayed against them through the
energy and scheming of the man who
would not accept defeat.
nere, men, ine last aramauc acrae
was to be placed. Here Charlie was
to win his bride, or lose her forever—
in this city of restless energy, of won
derful buildings and unequaled magni
ficence, Charlie and his enemy would
come face to face for the last time.
Heaven be on the side of the right
and strengthen the arm of this war
rior bold who dared all in defense of
what was innocent and true.
Capt. Brand had almost reached the
end of his rope, and would doubtless
husband the remainder of his re
sources for one last desperate, mas
terful stroke by which he would win
or lose all.
As usual, there was the customs
trial to be passed through, but when
the gantlet had been successfully run
they were free.
The great and wonderful city
stretched before them.
To Arline it was all new, and the
sights that were strange to her eyes
she found to be numerous, from the
lofty buildings to the electric cars that
dashed along at an apparently reckless
speed.
Capt. Brand accepted everything
philosophically.
He had seen the world; his check
ered career had embraced every
clime, and the startling events that
had fallen to his share would have laid
the foundation for a very fair second
edition of Munchausen or the Arabian
Nights.
Arline was deeply concerned about
wayward Aleck, whom she had not
seen in so long a time.
His whole future was at stake.
If she missed him now, all might be
lost.
Yes, this had been wearing upon her
mind so long now that it affected her
nerves. There may have been some
thing more, which neither of them sus
pected—a premonition of the startling
events destined to take place in their
experience; for some minds seem
gifted with an almost supernatural
power to anticipate coming changes,
even as the mercury in the ba
rometer's tube indicates a change in
the weather hours before it occurs.
Taking a carriage, they were all
speedily located at the reliable old
Windsor. .
tv_i_>_ m_11. i__a xi_x
some one had called for him only the
day before, and he was constrained to
believe It must be the young fellow
who had been his companion in the
Antwerp jail, and whose escape had
rivaled that of Monte Crlsto.
This was good news.
He had left word he would call
again, so that all they had to do was
to leave a message for him at the
desk, and await developments.
Arllne was not recovered from the
effect of the voyage; at least, she was
in no humor for sight-seeing until this
long-anticipated interview with her
half-brother were over.
So she kept her room much of the
time.
When the so-called Capt. Brand set
foot again in New York, he faced new
dangers.
There were those upon the Rialto,
actors of greater or lesser degree, who
must have had dealings with Freder
ick Davenport Macauley during the
palmy days of yore, when he played
his little part in the drama, and man
fully plod his way, footsore and weary,
over the railway ties back to New
York after an unsuccessful tour of the
provinces.
Some of these worthies could be de
pended on to recognize their old com
rade of those halcyon days, despite the
radical change prosperity might have
made in his personal appearance and
bearing.
Thus evening found them.
Charlie had the pleasure of dining
with Lady Arllne.
He exerted himself to cheer her up.
Several times she seemed to tem
porarily throw off the strange stupor
that had settled upon her spirits, and
for a short period appeared to be her
old self, when, by degrees, the melan
choly crept back again.
"To-njorrow,” said Charlie, when she
was leaving him to go to her rooms,
“I hope we will have Aleck here with
us, and then all must be well. Y’ou
can dismiss doubts and fears, to be
happy once more.”
“You will forgive my foolish fancies.
You are always so cheerful and kind,”
she murmured, while he was holding
and ardently squeezing her hand, per
haps quite unconsciously.
"Until to-morrow, then.”
“Shall I see you at breakfast?” he
asked, eagerly. ]
"If I am feeling quite will; surely at
dinner.”
He was forced to be content.
So he watched her. his soul In hi*
eyes, as she walked to the eleva*or.
Was there ever a more queenly girl
•than Lady Arline; one with a greater
share of beauty concentrated in face,
figure and mind?
Ere the elevator car shot toward the
upper realms she waved her hand to
him and gave him a ravishing smile.
And that smile haunted him a long
time, for it was the last time he was
fated to look upon her face until—
destiny had been utterly fulfilled, the
drama carried to its concluding scene,
most terrible of all.
Sauntering into the rotunda of the
hotel Charlie lighted a weed and then
began to remember there were others
in the world besides himself and Ar
line Brand.
Where was Artemus for Instance?
And Capt. Brand? Who had now
been ashore long enough to get his
bearings and figure on some desperate
move.
Perhaps it would be best, as his
good sense suggested, to seek assis
tance in outwitting the great schemer.
Clever minds could be controlled for
money, detectives who were able to
cope with even such a remarkable
scoundrel as he conceived this man to
be, and who would speedily put him on
his back in the first round.
And yet the wretched result of his
arrangement with the great Baron
Peterhoff aroused serious doubts in his
mind. If the fascinating presence of
a woman could so upset a sagacious
master of finesse and diplomacy, who
could be trusted?
There was apparently time.
Brand would hardly get his columns
in motion under a day or two.
Charlie could be governed by cir
cumstances and the trend of events.
Besides, there was Artemus, whose
wits were of the brightest, and who
might be depended on, to accomplish
more than a little, looking toward the
exposure of the great fraud.
These soothing reflections came in
some degree through the influence of
the magic weed, for to its devoted
votaries tobacco seems to be an in
cense which creates optimists where
only pessimism had previously
reigned.
And of course our Charlie contem
plated with more or less complacency
the high degree of happiness that
would be his portion when the blessed
time arrived for him to claim Arline
Brand as his own darling wife, with
no one, not even a haunting memory
of the buried past, to say him nay.
He had figured it all out, and de
cided that he would make full and free
confession regarding his one forlorn
experience in Cupid’s realms.
No doubt Charlie took considerable
pleasure in speculating upon the var
ious ways in which he might bring
these important matters to a focus,
but never once did he dream of the
wonderful and fearful event by means
of which the desired end would be
swiftly attained.
Again and again he looked toward
the Fifth avenue entrance as the door
swung behind new comers, but Arte
mus remained only conspicuous by his
absence.
Could anything have happened;
would the bold and reckless Capt.
Brand begin operations by lopping off
the limbs of the tree he meant to
fell?
It made him deucedly uncomfortable
to even consider such a calamity.
Surely some tremendous catastrophe
was brooding over himself and his for
tunes, or could it be he was partaking
of Arlines’ slow spirits?
Was his cigar to blamp? Ah! a
change was on the tapis, for there
came Artemus bustling in from the
outside night air.

HAS NOVEL TEST OF DEATH.
Device of a French Physician Seems
to Leave Ail Doubt Behind.
Horror of being burled alive Is com
mon to the whole human race, and
from time Immemorial experiments
have been in progress with the view
of making such a terrible fate im
possible. Some physicians maintain
that satisfactory tests can also be
made by the use of the Roentgen rays,
but it is not everyone who has the
facilities for making such tests, where
as anyone can make a test on the plan
devised by Dr. Icard, a physician of
Marseilles, France. The doctor uses
fluorescin, the well-known coloring
material, and his experiment? have
proved so successful that they have
won for him the approval of the
French Academy of Sciences. Flu
orescin injected into the human body,
produces absolutely no effect if the
body is dead, whereas it producps
most surprising effect if the body hs
alive. Dr. Icard uses a solution of it
which is so strong that a single
gramme is able to color 40,000 quarts
of water.
If a little of this solution is Inject
ed under the skin of a living person in
two minutes the skin and especially
the mucous membranes, will become
much discolored, and the person will
present the appearance of one suffer
ing from an acute attack ot jaundice.
Moreover, the eyes will become of a
greenish color and the pupils will al
most become invisible. These symp
toms will remain for one or possibly
two hours and then will gradually dis
appear. Since fluorescin produces this
effect on a living body it naturally fol
lows, according to Dr. Icard, that any
body on which it produces no effect
must be dead.
We must be as careful to keep
friends as to make them. The affec
tions should not be mere “tents of
a night.” Friendship gives no privi
lege to make ourselvtsi disagreeable.

THE ONLY SAFE WAY
PROTECTION FOR ALL OR ELSE
FOR NONE.
i _
If the Princ'lple Be Abrogated os Re
. .gards Domestic Sugar and Tobacco
Are Not Those Interests Justified
\ In Demanding Other Reductions?
The Republican leaders in tho sen
ate are evidently endeavoring to ar
range with the stalwarts to forego
their opposition to the sugar trust
and permit Cuba to get its “relief”
wihout at the same time depriving
the trust of the profit which it antici
pated by tho pretended benevolence.
It is even asserted that the stalwart
senators have given “Intimations
amounting to assurances” that their
opposition shall be "nominar’ and that
the Cuban bill as it is proposed to be
amended will be permitted to pass
without serious contest. This is
equivalent to saying thnt the stalwart
senators have entered into a conspir
acy to fool their constituents with a
show of ort>osltion when in fact they
have privately agreed that tho apos
tates shall pass their bill. Wo as
sume that the rumor is an undeserved
slander upon the stalwart Republican
senators and that they propose to use
all means permitted by the rules of
vuv ocuatc tv piVTUlit tUV wuouiumu
tion of the Intended outrage. Tho
stalwart Republican senators can kill
the bill if they will. If they do not
they will be held responsible. As for
“party harmony,” let those restore it
who provoked the trouble by aposta
tizing from the doctrines which they
were pledged to sustain.
Such free-trade journals as the "New
York Times, Boston Herald and oth
ers are exhibiting much unholy glee
at what they vainly imagine to be an
error of the stalwart Republicans of
the house in Joining the Democrats
to amend the Cuban bill by repealing
the differential duty on refined sugar.
Wo can assure our free-trade contem
poraries that no “error” has been
committed. The stalwarts of the
house deliberately joined the Demo
crats in so amending the bill that no
Republican congress can pass it with
out such open and brazen repudiation
of the pledges upon which they were
elected as shall consign them to polit
ical graves from which no resurrec
tion is possible. They expect the bill
to be beaten by Republican votes.
They are nevertheless aware that
there is a bare possibility of
the bill passing as amended.
While they do not expect this con
tingency, they are prepared for it.
If the amended bill becomes a law it
will be notice served in a form which
cannot be misunderstood that if any
interest entitled to protection shall be
sacrificed by the party of protection
then, so far as the votes of those sac
rificed can avail, there shall be not a
shred of protection left to any inter
est. That is the position of the stal
warts of the house. In that position
they are sure of the enthusiastic sup
port of their constituents. Our free
trade contemporaries may "hail" this
as looking to a free-trade triumph.
We assure them that they are mistak
en. It makes sure the maintenance
unimpaired of the sound protectionist
doctrine under which we have at
tained our unparalleled prosperity.
And it is the only safe way. Tho
strong interests will tumble the weak
overboard in a minute if they can.
Let them do it if they dare. The con
sequence will be the election of a
Republican Congress composed of
members whose honor can be depend
ed upon.—San Francisco Chronicle.
GOUGING THE FARMERS.
Effect of Repealing Duties on Cattle
and Meats.
A contemporary which is somewhat
given to ejaculatory utterance advises
as a means of regulating the Beef
Trust the "removal of all tariff duties
on foreign foods.” This is simply a
proposition to subject the farmer to
whatever higher price the protective
tariff system may Impose on the things
he consumes, and expose him to low
free trade prices on things he pro
duces. The Beef Trust is but one of
many trusts, the purpose of which is
to obtain higher prices for their prod
ucts than could be obtained under
free competition. When the farmer
buys wire to fence in his fields with
he contributes to the profits of a trust.
When he buys a plow he contributes
to the profits of another trust. When
he buys salt for his cattle he pays
twice as much as he would If there
were no combination to fix an artificial
price on that necessary article of hu
man and animal consumption. But
when the farmer has beef to sell our
free trade contemporary says the
price must be regulated by the cost
of producing beef in other countries.
Possibly our contemporary would
advocate a like remedy for the regula
tion of trusts engaged in the manufac
ture of wire, plows and salt. That,
however, involves free trade. It
would be impossible to repeal the du
ties on goods made by trusts and to
maintain duties on goods in the pro
duction of which the hand of the
trust is not easily traced. Absolute
free trado means internal revenuo
taxes of about double the rates at
present collected. Nearly one-half of
our federal revenue comes through the
custom houses, and if that is sacri
ficed the tax on home industries must
be nearly or quite doubled. Under
such conditions th9 export of manu
factured goods would cease. Foreign
goods would be imported at less than
the cost of homo production with in
ternal revenue taxes added to the nat
ural cost. Instead of finding new mar
kets for our manufactured goods, we
should lose the markets we have
gained under the policy of protection.
The Beef Trust can be regulated in
another way. At present prices, and
possibly at a little less, farmers will
find it more profitable to feed grain to
cattle than to sell it at prices fixed in
foreign markets. Farmers are well
aware of this, and If let alono will
solve tho beef problem.—San Francis
co Bulletin.
THE AMATEUR TARIFF TINKER.
Should Obtain Views of Employers
and Wage Earners.
Several days ago the Dispatch call
ed attention to the fact that Represen
tative Roberts of Massachusetts, was
anxious to revise the tariff laws. Mr.
Roberts was elected to congress as a
Republican, but since taking his seat
he has been painting terrible pictures
of what the people would do at tho
next congressional elections if the ex
isting laws were not modified. He
is clrelulating a petition among his
colleagues calling for a caucus, at
which the question of considering tho
necessity of tariff revision shall be
discussed, and, If possible, a program
for party action shall be adopted.
If we understand Mr. Roberts cor
rectly, the only way the Republicans
can prevent the tariff being made the
sole issue of the next campaign is by
placing certain articles on the free
list, and reducing the rates on others.
If this is not done, says the Solomon
from Massachusetts, the Republicans
will be forced to assume the defen
sive, with the result that tho Demo
crats will control the next house.
Mr. Roberts should visit York or
some other great manufacturing cen
ter, and ask a few questions. He would
loam, for instance, that the Dlngley
bill meets with the approval, not only
of large employers, but of the men
who labor. He would soon discover
that tinkering with the tariff would
be the worst thing the Republican
party could do. His assertion that
unless wo “modify the bill, the Re
publicans will be placed on tho defen
sive," is ridiculous in the extreme.
Now that the silver issue has been
burled there is only one question be
tween the two great parties, and that
is the tariff. For years the Republi
cans have been successful because
they advocated protection to Ameri
can industries, and when the people
so far forgot themselves as to elect a
i^uuiuv iauv, jnuoiuuui auu tuv tuunv.
shift ltnown as the Wilson bill emerg
ed from the halls of congress as a
result, business received such a stag
gering blow that it took the nation
years to recover.
Instead of being placed on the de
fensive, Republicans, thanks to the
present law, are the aggressors, and
the Democratic leaders know it, not
withstanding their assertions that
the tariff breeds trusts. England has
free trade, yet in the newspapers this
morning may be found articles telling
how business men in that country are
organizing to protect themselves
against "American invasion.” But
Democratic orators and editors will
not call British combinations "trusts."
They reason that there can be no
trusts without a tariff. The fact is
the tariff has no more to do with
trusts than a mountain with the
ocean, but if the Democrats can make
political capital with the cry, of
course they intend to use it. The Re
publicans welcome a contest on the
tariff, and good reason they should,
for the full dinner pail is no dream,
but an actual fact, and just so long as
the leaders flatly refuse to threaten
the welfare of the business and labor
world by tinkering with the tariff, just
so long will the Republicans continue
to remain in power.—York (Pa.) Dis
patch.
Greatest of Commercial Travelers.
Hard to Be Candid.
The very men who raise this
issue are the men who have found
fault so strenuously in the past with
those who have favored a protective
tariff, because the farmers had no part
nor lot in it. It was in response to
this complaint that a duty was placed
upon beef cattle, the product of the
American farm. Now that what they
complained of for not being done has
been done, these same complainers
are raising a howl and saying tho duty
on cattle and beef is the foundation
of the beef trust. It is so hard for
some people to be candid when dis
cussing a question that so materially
affects tho living of so many of the
people of the country. The trust
question in all its bearings ought to
be discussed on a higher ground than
that of petty partisan politics.—Knox
ville (Tenn.) Tribune.
Only Genuine Brand.
The kind of reciprocity which
Blaine favored, which President Mc
Kinley meant in his great Buffalo
speech and which the Republican
party has declared for is the only
genuine brand and the only kind that
true protectionists will favor.—Valley
Mills (Texas) Protectionist.
SOME GOOD POINTERS
FOR CUICKEN RAISERS.
From Farmers' Review: There are
many good breeds of chicks, sev
eral not very good, and as many good
ind as many poor handlers of these
breeds. Why is it one person will
succeed with the chicken work while
another equally as well situated and
started will fail? The reason why
3ome succeed where others fail would
better be reason’s why, for there are
many. Lack of business methods is
one main reason. All know, or should
know, what is meant by business
methods. If you are in doubt, look up
the methods of some who have been
successful: visit some of your neigh
bors who are successful; then remem
ber and profit by the points you learn;
if you can discover no points I would
advise you to go out of the poultry
business instanter.
Lack of regularity in feeds, in time
of feeding and in general care. The
poultry keeper who keeps his flock on
the tenter hooks of expectation all
the time will themselves be on the
expectation of profit from their flocks.
‘‘Great expectations,” but unlikely to
be realized.
Changes, either in the feeds, the
housings or In the flocks themselves.
Now don’t explode; variety of feeds
is necessary; sudden change in feed
Is detrimental—the only sudden
change allowed is from nothing to
good feed, and this sudden change
should be gradual. The Introduction
of new blood is necessary once per
year, but one should not be intro
ducing new ones into the flock at
any and all times. The probabilities
are they will take so much time get
ting acquainted that there won’t be
time for them to return any profit.
The greatest harm is in changing
from one breed to another. This is
of course necessary when one finds
the breed he has is "boarding,” but
when one has a fairly profitable breed
that he is acquainted with, then
changes to a new sort, more for a
whim than anything else; he is work
ing havoc in the profit for several
months at least. Some of us nervous,
'ihanageable Americans need to be more
like some of our conservative neigh
bors over the sea; more averse to
changes than we are. If you are get
ting good returns from your breed
and from your way of managing and
feeding, make changes slowly; if you
must experiment yard a few of your
fowls to themselves to experiment
with; you may happen upon a valua
ble discovery.—Emma Clearwaters.
YARDING SPACE NEEDED
FOR PRODUCTIVE HENS.
From Farmers' Review: When we
first began yarding fowls we found
that with a balanced ration of a va
riety of foods they invariably pro
duced more eggs than on unlimited
range. But we soon found that the eggs
were less fertile and our loss of chicks
was greater. These yards were so small
that we had to supply a part of the
green food. We Increased the size of
our yards and provided plenty of
shade. This corrected the trouble with
fertility and Iosb of chicks. We be
lieve the Ideal way would be to have
two yards for one pen of fowls and
change occasionally. — Miller Bros.,
Brown County, Indiana.
POULTRY POINT8 PICKED
UP BY EXPERIENCE.

No man that has not handled hun
dreds of fowls should start in with a
big poultry plant It is better to be
gin the poultry business as a side Is

side Issue will teach many lessons that
will be valuable when It becomes the
main Issue. The cost of learning is
considerable even with a small flock.
With a large flock it frequently be

• • •
The man that is about to build a
large poultry establishment should
own his land. If not that, then he
should have a long lease. To own is
better. The writer Knows of a wom
an that built $700 worth of poultry
houses on a rented place. In a little
over a year she concluded to move and
sold her buildings at a sacrifice, the
6ame to be moved from the place. Had
she owned the place she might at least
have sold them with the place or
rented them If she rented the plae*.
As it was she threw most of her mon
ey away. One advantage in poultry
culture is the constant Improving ot
the land. The owner usually gets th*
benefit of this—not the renter. By all
means build expensive houses only on
your own land.
• • •
Builders of poultry houses should
consult many plans before building.
By this means the thoughts of many
persons will be brought into service
If the house is built without such In
vestigation, the owner will be con
stantly finding errors in the original
plan, but too late to correct them ex
cept at great expense. At the present
time there are many sources from
which to obtain plans for such a
house. The novice Is likely to get
too much or too little glass. He will
put the windows In the wrong posi
tion, perhaps In the roof, where they
will be covered In the winter by ice
and snow and will in the summer pour
a hot stream of sunshine onto the
fowls shut up In the house. Many
things have to be learned by others
that should save us from disastrous
experiences.
