Booklovers’ Magazine: The Tibetans have numberless strange myths, one, the most curious, pertaining to the sun, moon and stars. The sun Is believed to be an Immense ball of yak meat and fat, whereon the spirits of departed ancestors are supposed to feast, the ligjit being caused by its heated condi i tlon. The stars are portions of this A Immense feast which, dropping to the * earth, give birth to animals for the sus tenance of suffering humanity. The moon is a lesser ball of similar texture as the sun. In use while the larger one is being replenished for the morrow. When sun or moon fails to appear in cloudy days It means that the deities are undergoing a period of fasting and religious abnegation. And the parched and sterile condition of bleak regions Is ascribed to the fact that many thou sand years ago the sun ball slipped from. the hands of its keepers, des —- cended too near the earth, and, before being recaptured, scorched those parts with which it came in contact There U more Catarrh la this section of tne V country than all other diseases put together, and until the last femyears was supposed to he In curable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local E idles. and by constantly failing to cure with treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease. and therefore requires constitutional treat ment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo.

Hall’s Family fills are the beet DUTCH DRAUGHT DOG8. Take the Plaee of Donkey* In Belgium i Aryl Holland. L New York Tribune: In Holland and Belgium the dog occupies the' place ■which the donkey does In several other countries. In the former the sight of ,a couple of dogs dragging along a pushcart loaded with vegetables, flow ers or shining milk cans Is a familiar . one. They trot along underneath the cart, within easy reach of the blunt toe of the sabot of the woman who walks behind It to guide It by the handles attached at that point. In Belguim the dogs are hitched in front, as the Russians at itach their horses to their droskles, (three abreast, and are guided by a pair iof rope reins fastened to a muzzle ‘about the nose of the dog in the mid dle. Recently' the National Dog Cart association, organized to regenerate the original race of Belgian mastiffs, held Its first exhibition of cart dogs. The Flemish breeders have found that In •crossing the Belgian mastiffs with the Great Danes, with the Idea of increas ing the size of cart dogs, and so se icurlng additional strength, they made (a mistake. The result proved to be animals with weak hind-quarters and disproportionate limbs. Now they are endeavoring to revive the original ■tock. The women and dogs of these two little countries are another evidence that human nature and canine nature > are the same the world over. When one sees the white-capped Belgian milk-woman with her dogs standing near a well, the woman having a bat tered can slung on her forearm, one Instinctively becomes suspicious. The suspicion Is confirmed when one dis covers a policeman detaining at the roadside a pair of sulky-faced milk maids, with their dog team and cart laden with slender-necked milk cans, while he jots their names In his little book agalnBt a charge of watering milk. When the cart comes to a stand still the dogs are no longer draught animals, but dogs. They sit or He complacently down and roll their tongues from their open mouths. Ap parently they have forgotten that they are animals intended for human com panionship, but condemned to hard labor for life. An apple of this year’s growth, weighing thirty ounces and measuring eighteen Inches In circumference. Is ex hibited at the world’s fair In the offlde of Secretary Marchant of the Okla homa commission. An English sergeant, lately returned from South Africa, committed suicide because a wound has so disfigured his face that his friends hardly knew him and people who met him In the street k '‘looked" at him. Throughout the day Edith had no return of the spasms that had wrenched her; but her strength seemed ex hausted and she was content to lie on a couch in her own rooms, where her stepfather and her aunt scarcely left her a moment alone. A week came and went without bringiE<s a relapse; strength returned She was about once more, she drove dally, and the color came back to her cheeks. Both she and Lady Bysshe felt glad that they had not mentioned her illness to Geoffrey, whom It would have needlessly distressed at a time when he was preparing to plead at a famous trial whose decision would ntaasa life or death to the man he de fended. As for Doctor Hopkins, he began to regard himself as an alarmist, to be lieve he had mistaken the case, and he cordially congratulated himself In not having added to the fears of Lady Bysshe and the count by expressing his opinion or seeking for a consulta tion. There were now no reasons why Edith and her aunt should not fulfill their intention of visiting Eastbourne; on the contrary it was desirable for the girl’s sake that she should have sea air and change. Accordingly the day was again fixed for their depart ure, but on the morning previous to }at on which they were to start Edith fes once more taken suddenly ill, in Ole same manner and at about the same hour as her first seizure. And as before the utmost alarm spread through the house at news of her condition. On hearing it Max rushed to the stables, helped the grooms to saddle a horse, ana, mount ing; galloped at a furious pace to Bal wash. The startling news was given in aft Instant to Dr. Hopkins, who had just left his bed. “Telegraph at once to Sir William Taxworth. .Have half a dozen London doctors down If you like. Don’t spare expense, only—only save her," Max called out hurriedly. Dr. Hopkins scarcely heeded him. Pencil In hand he was writing out a message to the famous west end physi cian. When it was done Max snatched at it and hurried to the door, saying, “I will send it off myself. Mount my horse; he will take you to the hall quicker than your trap, In which I will follow you,” and he disappeared in the direction of the telegraph office. On Dr. Hopkins seeing the patient he found the attack had been compara tively slight, but a sudden recurrence of symptoms so painful, whose cause could net be accounted for, had added to the consternation felt by her step father and aunt. lKnowing this would be increased by hearing that he had sent for Sir William Taxworth, the doctor compromised matters stating he believed the famous physician would be in the neighborhood during the day, when he would ask him to see Miss Cowley; a proposition hailed with re lief by Lady Bysshe. In the course of the morning Doc tor Hopkins received a telegram stat ing that Sir William would reach Bal wash at a certain hour that afternoon. When the time came, Doctor Hopkins met him at the station and they drove at once to the hall, the great man ask ing questions regarding the patient and her symptoms. When the local eventually whispered his suspicions. Sir William knit his heavy brows and pursed up his fleshy lips In a sign of suspicion. Country doctors, he told himself, were, as a rule, alarmists, and their opinions were not worth a fig. But bearing in mind the mystery of the Goffe murder and of the recent Jewel robbery which had occurred at the hall, he felt interested in its Inmates and listened to details concerning them. It was suggested to him that In case he agreed with Doctor Hopkins regard ing the cause of Edith’s attack, he should not alarm her aunt or stepfath er by mentioning it to them, but should confine his opinion to Max, leaving to him the responsibility of immediate ac tion or of subsequently breaking the news to them. And to this Sir Wil liam agreed. Edith was prepared for and not un willing to receive his visit. The calm, self-assured presence of this tall, portly man, dignified in manner, brief of speech, and gentle, soothed all with whom he came Into contact. His ex amination of the patient lasted but a few minutes, his questions searched her memory. Then he retired with Doctor Hopkins to an adjoining room, the door of which he carefully closed. “The symptoms noticeable In the pa tient," he said Impressively, "might be set down to other causes than poison ing. I confess if you hadn’t suggested poison it might not have occurred to me to be the cause of her illness. You have seen her some hours earlier than I, when, no doubt, the appearances of a poisonous drug were more noticeable; or you may have other reasons for your conclusion.” “A man lost his life in this house by a subtle and little known though pow erful poison,” Doctor Hopkins bluntly replied. “Yes, I remember. And you think—?” “The fact has made me suspicious. But for thgt I might also have thought this illness had another origin. As it Is I am puzzled, and I was anxious to have your opinion, Sir William.” “It certainly may be that poison has been administered.” “If so, another attempt will be made upon her life, and the third time may prove successful. What would you ad vise me to do?” “Tell her relatives at once.” “The count Is blind and helpless, her aunt can hardly grapple with such a danger; so nothing is left but to tell her stepbrother. At least, he shall know what we think.” “I take It for granted that he will use every precaution?" "I will see that he does. You may rely on that." “As for remedies you cannot do bet ter than what you have already done. I must leave the case In your hands," remarked Sir William, not sorry to shift the responsibility from his own shoulders; and he bowed to Indicate that the conference had ended. To Lady Bysshe and the count, who Impatiently awaited him downstairs, he spoke of the patient as suffering from irritation of the stomach, declared that his clever colleague understood the case, received his fee, and hurriedly said good bye as he was in haste to catch the next train for town. Doctor Hopkins, after taking Lady Bysshe aside and asking her to sea. that the patient took neither food nor drink until she saw or heard from him drove away with the great man, who had left Edith’s relatives some what surprised by the little he had said or done, and not altogether satisfied by his reserve and his haste. Max was the most silent and r ^IIF W -mmr -W thoughtful of the three, for In passing Doctor Hopkins had In a frightened voice begged he would come without delay to his house at Balwash, where he would have something of Impor tance to tell him. CHAPTER XXXH. ROMA DECIDES. On returning from Knowlesworth hall to Hadley manor, Dunstan Bur bage once more took up his work under Signor Veneto, who was still busy In perfecting his wonderful clock, and In striving to complete other Inventions, some of which have since been pat ented by him. Becoming aware that whenever he ventured abroad his movements were closely watched, Dunstan now seldom left the grounds and gardens of the old manor house. Nor dTd he feel the re strictions or monotony that such se clusion imposed on him, as he might at another time when his mind was less occupied, his life less full. For It seemed, at this period, as If a new era was opening before him, giving glimp ses of happiness which he had not ven tured to expect. Dunstan had nothing in him of that sterner stuff which forces a man to continue living In the. face of despair. On the contrary, hls need of affection, his longing sympathy for his happiness on a responsive nature; and, therefore, within a little time of Edith’s engage ment to Geoffrey, Dunstan began to turn to Roma. And like a man whose eyes are newly opened, he noticed the surpassing charm of her candid, trustful face, the beauty of her leaf-brown hair with Its undertints of gold, the sea-blue depths of her heavy fringed eyes, until he wondered how he could so long have remained blind to such attractiveness as hers. Nor was Roma long In discovering hls awakening. Hls expectant glance as she entered the room, the brightness of hls faoe when they met unexpected ly, the tones of hls voice when he spoke to her, all told her that the love she had once desired was hers. On that gray October afternoon when she had stood at the window of her own room, looking with Inward eyes upon herself, she had resolved to over come her Infatuation for one whose love was given to another. Bitter as the task had been it was gradually ac complished. For to give her affection'where it was not desired, or sought, seamed to her a painful humiliation. And Roma was prond. From that hour she be gan to pity and despise herself for having misplaced her devotion, and to hope that die man to whom is was of fered had been unconscious of her gift. By way of solacing her wounded and lonely heart, she recalled how patiently, how faithfully, another man had loved and waited for her. Count Sasarl was of her own race, her father’s friend and benefactor, her ill-recompensed lover. Roma reproached herself with the thought that hls loneliness was borne for her sake. He had often assured her he would never marry If she did not become hls wife. She felt sure tbat he must be attractive to many women, and she wondered what It was he saw In her to keep him faithful to herself. She wished she had been kind er, more considerate to him, apd she sincerely pitied him. From pity to love is but a step. What was moat ef fectual in killing her love for Dunstan was hls weakness. Most women love strength in men, and she was no ex ception to the rule. Hls easy submis sion to the fate that left him under a cloud; hls want of courage and deter mination to track and discover the murderer Qf Richard Go file, helped to show her hip infirmity and to strip him of the Idealization with which she had formerly clothed him. One afternoon, when his work for the day was finished earlier than usual, he came down from the laboratory and found Roma in the email oak-panelled room with its curtains of faded green jBamask, its figure of the dancing faun, and its portraits of Dante and Bavon arolfu “Do I disturb you?” he asked, as she looked up. “Pray come in,” she said invitingly. When he seated himself at the op posite side of the fire, he Inquired what was the book she had been reading, and on hearing it was Tasso’s poems, he reminded her how long it was since she had given him a lesson in Italian. “I had supposed you were very busy,” she told him. “Never too busy to hear you read,” Dunstan replied quickly. “aiall we get Dante?” she asked, looking toward the bookshelf. "Why not continue Tasso?” he sug gested; for he longed to hear her speak the burning lines of this poet of lovera the poet she had selected for her com panion this afternoon. She began in a low voice, full of flute-like music, a voice whose delici ous softness could never fail to touch him, but which, uttering such melodi ous words, such heart-firing Images, lulled him to ecstasy. By degrees, as she recovered her shy ness, her tones became clearer, firmer, vibrating with the expression of the poet's fervor, until at the end of a stanza, overcome by the passlgnate rapture of the line, she suddenly ill* down the book and abandoned herself to her thoughts. As she did so, Dunstan, leaning tor cnnnrw •> «• undecided. Muldoon—An' phwere abouts are yez goln’ to w-wurk, Casey? Casey—Sore, Ol don’t know yet. Whin I asked the boss to give me a Job he tould me to come here an’ take me pick. ■ , U. .... , ward, took one of her hands and. be fore she was conscious of his intention, kissed It agalng and again. “Oh.” she said, starting. “Roma, my ftoma, I love you,” ha began, and would have continued but that he heard aoundB of footsteps and voices in the passage outside, on which he hurried to open the door Just as It was reached by Veneto, who entered, followed by Sasarl. “Roma,” her father said, rubbing his hands joyously, hts well-worn velvet coat thrown back and showing hla flannel shirt with its deep collar and flowing scarf. "Roma, here Is our good friend again giving us a happy surprise. Bid him welcome, my daugh ter.” “Count Sasari Is always welcome," she replied. As the visitor took her hand he felt It tremble, and he was not slow to no tice signs of unusual emotion In her face, while her eyes shone, those beau tiful eyes that at that moment were the color of a purple pansy leaf. For a brief heart-stirring Instant he W’on dered If these signs were due to his ar rival. Then he remembered that Bur bage had been with her as he entered. Quickly mastering himself, he spoke of the pleasure it gave him In seeing them again; when Veneto unconscious ly came to his relief by calling out; . “He brings me news; unexpected news—poor old Zoffani Is dead. Ah, you were but a little girl when last you saw him outside the Porta Nuova In Pisa. The most skilful doctor and the wildest dreamer In Europe, a gen ius and a madman; killed by his own folly. But what has our good friend done for me? You will never guess. At the auction he bought all the old man's books and chemicals that he might give them to me. You see how rich he has made me. What can we do to show him our gratitude, my daughter?” Roma made no answer. The rich color that had rushed Into her face a moment before had vanished, leaving her pallid at the thought that the man who was heaping favors on her father had never received the reward he de sired. I (fVM 1 it. ... X. i -a _.il tude between friends,” Sasari was say ing, in his quiet, composed voice. Veneto put an arm round his should er affectionately. “And you,” he said, “have always been a true friend. We never forget all that you have done for us. Do we, Roma?” “Never, father,” she answered fer vently, making an Inward effort to re cover herself. "When last I saw Zoffani, be gave me an old volume that had belonged to Jacob Boehme. You must see It There are hls notes on the margins. Dunstan will bring it to me,” Veneto said. Then turning round to find that hls secretary had left the room, he ad ded, “I will fetch it myself." “I will come and see It presently,” Sasari told him; “but first let me say a few words to Roma.” “My dear Sasari, say as many as you like and when you join me may you have that to say which will glad den my heart,” Veneto answered, as, shaking the count's hand warmly, he hurriedly left them. Roma stood confused before Sasari, her lips quivered, and a quick look that gauged him flashed from her eyes. To her surprise, she noticed In hls manner a hesitation and embarrass ment he had never known before, and while she was wondering at this, she heard him say: “I am going to stay but a feyr hours, for I leave tomorrow morning; so I had to take this opportunity of speaking to you alone.” Her heart began to flutter so much that she could not speak, so she merely bowed her head, prepared to hear a fresh avowal of hls affection. To her surprise he said: “I know, Roma, that you can never love me; I do not blame you; I could not blame you for any thing you did, not even for loving an other man.” She strove to speak, but before she could get out a word, he went on: ”1 hope, you will not hate me for what I am about to say, but I cannot resist the temptation of claiming you at any cost, for I love you above all things— better than my honor, better than my soul.” She saw that hls natural dignity and calmness had deserted him, leaving him abashed. And something In hls words, though she did not understand them, startled her. “Roma,” he continued, hurriedly, “I ‘ know you love him, and that loving him you must above all things desire to have him freed from all suspicion of the crime for which he was tried. I believe I can do that” “You know the murderer?" she cried out In astonishment. “I bellve I do—a confession has been to me—I can-” “And you will—you will clear Dun stan?” “Yes—providing you will marry me,” he blurted out. A shiver suddenly passed through her, she shrank from him and averted her eyes. “That Is the price at which I am to be bought?" The hardness of her voice and the dis dain of her face made hls blood boil from Shame, and for answer he bowed his head, not daring to speak. The sec onds that flitted by seemed centuries, their silence became unendurable to him. "uon t answer me now; wait until you have time to consider;,” he said, as confused, humiliated and miserable, he i hurried toward the door; but before i reaching It he looked back with depair ing eyes, then with a cry, he retraced his steps and flung himself at her feet, where she had remained pale and mo- 1 tlonlees as If frozen. “Roma, Roma, forgive me for so base a thought,” he called out in a broken I voice. ‘1 was mad with longing for ' you, but I could not sacrifice your hap- I ptness—no, not even to secure my own salvation. Oh, my dearest, you do not know me, you never understood me. It I3 not passion, but affection I feel for foil. I reverence, \ worgfip you. but will never marry yob, as you Cannot love me.” She was strangely moved, but re straining her feelings, she said with such calmenss as she could command: “But you will clear him?" “I will clear him,” he answered, no ticing her pallor, her agitation. “For my sake?” she suggested, long ing to hear him say the words. “For your sake—can you doubt me?” be said appealingly. “No. no,” she answered. “ I don’t doubt you and I think I understand you.” He looked up, struck by some tone of her voice; and seeing the Inward glow of her face, he took her hand and kissed It tremulously, reverently, grate ful that she allowed him such happi ness. Suddenly, while battling with her emotion, she said: "There Is something I must tell—yes, you must hear it—I do not love him.” He started to his feet, electrified, amazed, his luminous eyes swiftly searching hers, which answered their momentous question. "Ygu do not love him—but Roma—la there hope for me?” She stretched out her hands to him, when grasping them he put them round his neck, while his arms clasped her lg an ecstacy of unfathomable dellght (Continued Next Week There are 2,400 mineral waters bofr tied In New York city. Crusade Against Narcotics. Chicago Record-Herald: At the last session of the Illinois general assembly a law was passed prohibiting the sale of cocaine In any form, except on phy sician's prescription, and the state board of pharmacy Is now engaged In putting it into effect. At about the1 same time Georgia, Pennsylvania and Texas also passed unti-cocaine or anti- j narcotic laws, and twelve or fifteen of the states all told have now placed : such legislation on their statute books. The campaign against these drugs has been taken up with very great vigor by the American Pharmaceutical as sociation and will be waged on a na tional scale. A stringent law has been drafted, which has already been Intro duced Into congress as part of the gen eral poison bill by Representative Rob inson of Indiana. Substantially the same law will be presented for the con sideration of every state legislature that meets this winter. The campaign Is to be continued until by both and national legislation the entire country Is protected as fully as legislation can protect It against cocaine, morphine and all their ilk. The movement deserves hearty sup port and thoroughgoing success. Drug gists and physicians generally are in favor of it, for they know better than any other persons, except the victims themselves, the ravages which these drugs can cause. T!*ere are black sheep druggists who are willing to ruin the bodies and souls of all their customers for a few pennies of profit. They deserve no sympathy from any one, and the more rigorously they are prosecuted and the more severely they are punished the better it will be for the community. THOUGHT SHE WOULD Die, j Mrs, 8.
