MISS LEOPOLD, SRP/v LIEDERKRAN'fcr1*^ Writes : “Three Years Ago llifiQm TV as In a Itun-Down Condition. I Owe to Pe-ru-na My Restoration to Health and Strength.” Ifpiss Ricka [Eopqjg MISS RICKA LEOPOLD. 13T Main street, Menasha. Wis., Sec’y Lied erkranz, writes : “Three years ago my system was in « terrible run-down condition and 1 was broken out all over my body. I began to be worried about my condition and I was glad to try anything which would relieve me. “Peruna was recommended to me as a fine blood remedy and tonic, and 1 soon found that it was worthy of praise. "A few bottles changed my condi tion materially and in a short time I was all over my trouble. “I owe to Peruna my restoration to health and strength.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Senator Clay tells of a negro who was elected n justice of the peace In Georgia during reconstruction times. His first case was one where the de fendant asked for a trial by jury. The negro justice presided with great dig nity while the witnesses were exam ined and the lawyers summed up. Then everybod” waited for him to charge the jury. He did not know what to do. Finally a friendly lawyer leaned over the bench and said: “Charge the jury! This is the time to charge the jury.” The justice arose and looked at the jury. "Gentlemen ob de jury.” he said, "dis yer's a mighty small case, an’ I'll only dharge ail you a dollar an’ a half apiece." Civic Pride Indeed. “Civic pride,’’ said Lincoln Steffens, the noted reform writer, “is all very well ip its way. Humility, though, and discontent' usually lead to better things than pride and complacency do, and whenever I hear any man boasting overmuch about his city’s excellence, I think of the civic pride of an old resident of Peebles. “To this old man, who regarded Peebles as a finer town than Paris, a copy of Shakespeare’s works was once loaned. The old man read the immortal plays for the first time. He enjoyed them mightily, and, on being asked what he thought of luem, he slapped his knee and said in a loud, enthusiastic voice: “ ‘They're fine! They're glorious! They far surpassed all’any expectations. VVpy, sir, there are not twenty men In Feeblaa who could have written* those plays!’ ” elm.

Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out—Cured by Cuticura. “I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms K and tbe lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prick ly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician, I pur chased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption ap peared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I pro cured another supply of the Cuticura Remedies, aud continued their use un til the cure was complete. It is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. I have more faith in Cuticura Reme dies for skin diseases than anything I know of. Emma E. Wilson, Liscomb, Iowa, Oct. 1, 1905.” THE MODERN SNOO. "What is a snob?” "He Is a man in good society who lives in perpetual fear lest he shall run I against somebody who knows him." 11 The Return of Sherlock Holmes 11 BY A. CONAN DOYLE. K Copyright. 1903, Copyright. 1905. I S by A. Conan Doyle and Collier's Weakly. by McClure. Phillipa 01 Co. ' XI.—THE ADVENTURE OF THE MISSING THREE-QUARTER. —Continued. "Quite true. Watson. The telegram still remains the only solid thing with which wo have to deal, and we must not permit our attention to wander away from li lt Is to gain light upon the purpose of this telegram that we are now upon our way to Cambridge. The path of our Investigation !s at present obscure, but I shall be very much surprised If before evening we have not cleared It up, or made a considerable advance along It.” It was already dark when we reached the old university city. Holmes took a cab at the station, and ordered the man to drive to the house of Dr. Leslie Arm strong. A few minutes later we had stopped at a large mansion In the busiest thoroughfare. We were shown In, and aft er a long wait were at last admitted Into the consulting room, where we found the doctor seated behind his table. It argues the degrees In which I had lost touch with my profession that the name of Leslie Armstrong was known to me. Now I am aware that he Is not only one of the heads of the. medical school of the uni versity, but a thinker oV European repu tation In more thaa one branch of science. Yet even without knowing his brilliant record one could not fail to be impressed by a mere glance at the man, the square, massive face, the brooding eyes under the thatched brows, and the granite moulding of the Inflexible jaw. A man of deep character, a man with an alert mind, grim, ascetic, self-contained, formidable—so I read Dr. Leslie Armstrong. He held my friend's card In his hand, and he looked up with no very pleased expression upon his dour features. x imve ucttiu juui naiuc, im. oncwutiv Holmes, and I am aware of your profes sion-one of which I by no means ap prove." "In that, doctor, you will find yourself In agreement with every criminal in the country," said my friend, quietly. "So far a a your efforts are directed to wards the suppression of crime, s’.r, they must have the support of every reasonable member of the community, though I can not doubt that the official machinery is amply sufficient for the purpose. Where your calling is more open to criticism is when you pry into the secrets of private individuals, when you rake up family matters whicn are better hidden, and when you incidentally tv&iite the time of men who are more busy than yourself. At the present moment, for example, I should be writing a treatise instead of conversing with you." "No doubt, doctor; and yet the conver sation may prove more important than the treatise. Incidentally, I may tell you that we are doing the reverse of what you very justly blame, and that we are endeavor ing to prevent anything like public expo sure of private matters which must neces sarily follow when once the case Is fairly in the hands of the official police. You may look upon me simply as an irregular pioneer, who goes In front of the regular forces of the country. I have come to ask you about Mr. Godfrey Staunton." "What about him?" "You know him, do you not?" "He is an intimate friend of mine.'* "You are aware that he has disap peared?” "Ah, indeed!" There was no change of expression in the rugged features of the doctor. "He left his hotel last night—he has not been heard of." "No doubt he will return." "Tomorrow is the ’varsity football match." “I have no symathy with these childish games. The young man's fate interests me deeply, since I know him and like him. The football match does not come within my horizon at all." "I claim your sympathy, then, in my in vestigation of Mr. Staunton’s fate. Do you know where he is?" "Certainly not" "Jifou ^have nbt Been him .since yester day?" "No, I have not." "Was Mr. Staunton a healthy man?" "Absolutely." "Did you ever know hffti 111?" "Never." Holmes popped a sheet of paper before the doctor’s eyes. "Then perhaps you will explain this receipted bill for thirteen guineas, paid by Mr. Godfrey Staunton last month to Dr. Leslie Armstrong of Cambridge. I picked it out from ajnong the papers upon his desk." The doctor flushed with anger. "I do not feel that there is any reason why I should render an explanation to you, Mr. Holmes." Holmes replaced the bill in his note book. "If you prefer a public explana tion, It must come sooner or later," said he. "I have already told you that I can hush up that which others will be bound to publish, and you would really be wiser to take me into your complete confidence." "I know nothing about it." "Did you hear from Mr. Staunton in London?" v-c* tuiiiiy iiuv. "Dear me, dear me—the postoffice again!" Holmes sighed, wearily. “A most urgent telegram was dispatched to you from London by Godfrey Staunton at 6:15 yesterday evening—a telegram which is undoubtedly associated with his disap pearance—and yet you have not had U. It Is most culpable. I shall certainly go down to the office here and register a complaint.” Dr. Leslie Armstrong sprang up from behind his desk, and his dark face was crimson with fury. "I'll trouble you to walk out of my house, sir,” said he. “You can tell your employer, Lord Mount-James, that 1 do not wish to have anything to do either with him or with his agents. No. sir— not another word!” He rang the bell fur iously. "John, show these gentlemen out.” A pompous butler ushered us severely to the door, and we found ourselves In the street. Holmes hurst out laughing. “Dr. Leslie Armstrorg is certainly a man of energy and character,” said he. "I have not seen a man who, If he turns his talents that way, was more calculated to fill the gap left by the Illustrious Mori arlty. And now, my poor Watson, here we are, stranded and friendless in this in hospitable town, which we cannot leave without abandoning our case. This little Inn just opposite Armstrong’s house is singularly adapted to our needs. If you would engage a front room and purchase the necessaries for the night, I may have time to make a few inquiries.” These few inquiries proved, however, to be a more lengthy proceeding than Holmes had imagined, for he did not return to the ipn until nearly 9 o’clock. He was pale and dejected, stained with dust, and ex hausted with hunger and fatigue. A cold supper was ready upon the table, and when his needs were satisfied and Ills pipe alight he was ready to take that half comic and wholly philosophic view which was natural to him when his affairs were going awry. The sound of carriage wheels caused him to rise and glance out of the window. A brougham and pair of greys. under the glare of a gas lamp, stood be fore the doctor’s door “It’s been out three hours,’’ said Holmes; “started at half past six, and here it Is back again. That gives a radius of ten or twelve miles, and he does it once, or sometimes twice, a day.” "No unusual thing for a doctor in prac tice.” “But Armstrong is not really a doctor in practice. He is a lecturer and a con sultant, but he does not care for general practice, which distracts him from his literary work. Why, then, does he make these long journeys, which must bo ex ceedingly irksome to him, and who is it that he visits?” “His coachman—” “My dear Watson, can you doubt that it was to him that I first applied? I do not know’ whether it came from his own innate depravity or from the promptings of his master, but he was rude enough to set a dog at me. Neither dog nor man liked the look of my stick, however, and the matter fell through. Relations were strained after that, and further inquiries out of the question. All that I have learned I got from a friendly native In the yard of our own inn. It w’as he who told me of the doctor’s habits and of his daily Journey. At that instant, to give point to his wrords, the carriage came round to the door.” “Could you not follow It?” “Excellent, Watson! You are scintillat ing this evening. The idea did cross my mind. There is, as you may have ob served, a bicycle shop next to our inn. Into this I rushed, engaged a bicycle, and was able to get started before the car riage was quite out of sight. I rapidly overtook it, and then, keeping at a dis creet distance of a hundred yards or so I followed its lights until we were clear cf the town. We had got well out on the country road, when a somewhat mortify ing incident occurred. The carriage stopped, the doctor aiighted, walked swift ly back to where I had also halted, and told me in an excellent sardonic fashion that he feared the road was narrow, and that he hoped his carriage did not im pede the passage of my bicycle. Nothing could have been more admirable than his way of putting it. I at once rode past the carriage, and, keeping to the main road, 1 went on for a few miles, and then halted in a convenient place to see if the carriage passed. There was no sign of it, however, and so it became evident that it had turned down one of several side roads which I had observed. 1 rode back, but again saw nothing of the carriage, and now, as you perceive, it has returned after me. Of course, I had at the outset no particular reason to connect these Jour neys with the disappearance of Godfrey Staunton, and was only inclined to in vestigate them on the general grounds that everything which concerns Dr. Arm strong is at present of interest to us, but, now that I find he keeps so keen a look out upon anyone who may follow him on these excursions, the affair appears more important, and I shall not be satisfied until I have made the matter clear.” “We can follow him tomorrow.” “Can we? It is not so easy as you seem to think. You are not familiar with Cambridgeshire scenery, are you? It does not lend itself to concealment. All this country that I passed over tonight is as flat and clean as the palm of your hand, and the man we are following is no fool, as ne very clearly showed tonight. I have wired to Overton to let us know any fresh London developments at this ad dress, and in the meantime we can only concentrate our attention upon Dr. Arm strong, whose name the obliging young lady at the office allowed me to read upon the counterfoil of Staunton’s urgent mes sage. He knows where the young man is —to that I’ll swear, and if he knows, then it must be our own fault if we cannot manage to know also. At present it must be admitted that the old trick is in his possession, and, as you are aware, Wat son, it is not my habit to leave the game in that condition.” And yet the next day brought us no nearer to the solution of the mystery. A note*was handed in after breakfast, which Holmes passed across to me with a smile. “Sir,” it ran, “I can assure you that you are wasting your time in dogging my movements. I have, as you discovered last mght, a window at the back of my brougham, and if you desire a twenty-mile ride which will lead you to tho spot from which you started, you have only to fol low me. Meanwhile, I can inform you that no spying upon me can in any way help Mr. Godfrey Staunton, and I am convinced that the best service you c^n do to that gentleman is to return at once to London and to report to your employer that you are unable to trace him. Your time in Cambridge will certainly be wasted. Yours faithfully, Leslie Armstrong.” An outspoken, honest antagonist is the doctor,” said Holmes. “Well, well, he excites my curiosity, and I must really know before I leave him.” “His carriage is at his door now,” said I. “There he is stepping into it. I saw him glance up at our window as he did so. Suppose I try my luck upon the bicycle?” "No, no, my dear Watson! With all respect for your natural acumen, I do not think that you are quite a match for the worthy doctor. I think that possibly I can attain our end by some Independent explorations of my own. I am afraid that I must leave you to your own devices, as the appearance of two inquiring strangers upon a sleepy countryside might excite more gossip than I care for. No doubt you will find some sights to amuse you in this venerable city, and I hope to bring back a more favorable report to you be fore evening.” Once more, however, my friend was des tined to be disappointed. He came back at night weary and unsuccessful. “I have had a blank day, Watson. Hav ing got the doctor’s general direction, I spent the day in visiting all the villages upon that side of Cambridge, and com paring notes with publicans and other lo cal news agencies. I have covered some ground. Chesterton, Histon, Waterbeach and Oakington have each been explored, and have each proved disappointing. The daily appearance of a brougham and pair could hardly have been overlooked in such sleepy hollows. The doctor has scored once more. Is there a telegram for me?” "Yes, I opened it. Here it Is: ‘Ask for Pompey from Jeremy Dixon, Trinity Col lege.’ I don’t understand it.” “Oh, it is clear enough. It is from our friend Overton, and is in answer to a question from me. I’ll just send round a note to Mr. Jeremy Dixon, and then I have no doubt that our luck will turn. By the way, is there any news of the match?” “Yes, the local evening paper has an excellent account in its last edition. Ox ford won by a goal and two tries. The last sentences of the description say: ‘The defeat of the Light Blues may be en tirely attributed to the unfortunate ab sence cf the crack international, Godfrey Staunton, whose want was felt at every instant of the game. The lack of com bination in the three-quarter line and i their weakness both !n attack and defense more than neutralised the effort* of a heavy and hard-working pack.' “ "Then our friend Overton's foreboding* havo boon Justified," *ald Holmes, "Per sonally I am In agreement with Dr. Arm strong. and football docs not come within my horlxon. Early to bod tonight, Wat son, for I foresuo that tomorrow may be an eventful day." I wus horrified by my first glimpse of Holmes next morning, for he sat by tint fire holding his tiny hypodermic syringe. 1 associated that Instrument with the single weakness of his nature, and 1 feared the worst when I saw It glittering In his hand. Ho laughed at my expression of dismay, and laid It upon the table. "No, no, my dear fellow, there Is no cause for alarm. It Is not upon this oc casion the Instrument of evil, but It will rather prove to be the key which will un lock our mystery. On this syringe I baBO all my hopes. I have Just returned from a small scouting expedition, and every thing Is favorable. Eat a good breakfast, Watson, for I propose to get upon Dr. Armstrong’s trail today, and once on It 1 will not stop for rest or food until I run him to his burrow.” “In that case,” said I. "wo had best carry our breakfast with us. for he Is making an early start. His carriage Is at tho door.” “Never mind. Let him go. He will be clever If he can drive where I cannot fol low him. When you have finished, come downstairs with me, and I will Introduce you to a detective who is a very eminent specialist In the work that lies before us.” When we descended I followed Holmes Into the stable yard, where he opened the door of a loose-box and led out a squat, lop-eared, whlte-and-tan clog, something between a beagle and a foxhound. "Let mo Introduce you to Pompey," said he. "Pompey Is the pride of the local draghounds—no very great filer, as his build will show, but a staunch hound on a scent. Well, Pom|.ey, you may not be fast, but I expect you will be too fast for a couple of middle-aged London gentlemen, so X will take the liberty of fastening this learner leash to your collar. Now, Xioy, come along, and show what you can do." He led him across to tho doctor’s door. The dog sniffed round for an In stant, and then with a shrill whine of ex citement started off down the street, tug ging at his leash In his efforts to go faster. In half an hour we were clear of the town and hastening down a country road. "What have you dene, Holmes?” I asked. A threadbare and venerable device, our useful upon occasion. I walked into the J doctor’s yard this morning, and shot my syringe full of aniseed over the hind wi.eel. A draghound will follow aniseed from here to John o’ Groat's, and our friend, Armstrong, would have to drive through the Cam before he would shake Pompey off his trail. Oh, the cunning ras cal! This is how he gave he the slip the j other night!” The dog had suddenly turned out of the ' main road into a grass-grown lane. Half a mile farther this opened into another broad road, and the trail turned hard to the right in the direction of the town, which we had just quitted. The road took a sweep to the south of the town, and continued in the opposite direction to that in which we started. “This detour has been entirely for our benefit, then?” said Holmes. “No wonder that my inquiries among those villages led to nothing. The doctor has certainly played the game for all it is worth, and one would like to know the reason for such elaborate deception. This should be the village of Trumpington to the right of us. And, by Jove! here is the brougham coming round the corner. Quick, Watson —quick, or we are done!” He sprang through a gate into a field, dragging the reluctant Pompey after him. We had hardly got under the shelter of the hedge when the carriage rattled past. I caught a glimpse of Dr. Armstrong within, his shoulders bowed, his head sunk on his hands, the very image of dis tress. I could tell-, by my companion’s graver face that he also had seen. “I fear there is some dark ending to our quest,” said he. “It cannot be long be fore wo know It. Come, Pompey! Ah, it is the cottage In the field!” These could be no doubt that we had reached the end of our journey. Pompey ran about and whined eagerly outside the gate, where the marks of the brougham’s wheels were still to be seen. A footpath led across to the lonely cottage. Holmes tied the dog to the hedge, and we hastened onwards. My friend knocked at the little rustic door, and knocked again without response. And yet the cottage was not deserted, for a low sound came to our ■ ears—a kind drone of misery and 4e- | spalr, which was Indescribably melan choly. Holmes paused irresolute, and then ho glanced back at the road which he had just traversed. A brougham was coming down it, and there could be no mistaking ; those grey horses. .‘‘By Jove, the doctor is homing back!” cried Holmes. ‘‘That settles it. We are bound to see what it means before he comes.” He opened the door, and we stepped into the hall. The droning sound swelled louder upon our ears until it became one long, deep wail of distress. It came from upstairs. Holmes darted up, and I fol lowed him. He pushed open a half closed door, and we both stood appalled at the sight before us. (Continued Next Week) ADVENTURES WITH LIONS. Big Beasts Are Frequently Encount ered by Man in South Africa. From South Africa: News Is to hand from two independent sources of an ex traordinary adventure that recently befell Mr. Dickert, a farmer living some fifteen miles from Malindi Siding, on the Wan kies line. Mr. Dickert went to bed at 10 o’clock, and was just going to sleep when he heard what he thought was a pig grunt ing and sniffling outside the door. He got up and stepped outside to cali his dogs, when he was seized by a lion. He shouted, and Mrs. Dickert ran out with a rifle, with which she.hit the animal on the head, causing it to loose its hold. Mr. Dickert immediately snatched at the rifle and fired, point blank, fortunately killing the lion at the first shot. The whole affair was over in a few seconds, and oc curred close to the bed room door, where the hungry animal had evidently been waiting. Mr. Dickert was badly scratched and had his arm lacerated where the lion seibed him. Though sufficiently serious at the time, he now looks upon the ad venture as one of the most novel of his ex periences. The people at Malindi Siding have been annoyed by a lion that developed the habit of coming right up to the station and was heard in the neighborhood of the railway men’s houses, a short time ago the con ductor of the Falls train and several of the passengers saw two young lions playing between the rails near the Gwaai. Further up the line, in the direction of the Zambesi, the lions appear to be much more numerous. Not long since the native commissioner at Matetsi is reported to have had fifteen head of live stock killed in broad daylight by nine lions which were hunting together. Quite lately two or three lions have been seen close to the Victoria Fads, on the south side of the river, but, for the reas surance of visitors, it may be mentioned that they only appeared at night and were exceedingly shy of any human being. At Dett, which is on the tame line of railway, a few weeks ago the remains were found of a white man who could not be identified and who appeared to have i been killed and partly eaten by Ilona. A WELL-GROOMED MAID. She Is a Delight to Have Around You. The clean, trim looking, well mannered maid l.s the sign visible of a. well ordered household. Nothing gives such an unre fined air to a house as a slovenly, unkempt girl to answer the door bell or wait on ta ble. Visitors, especially strangers, are, , not unreasonably, apt to estimate the call- : ber of the mistress by the manners and appeal ance of her domestlcs-tperhaps on the general principle that like consorts with like. While It may bo presumed that every self-respecting girl likes to keep her per son clean, it is a fact that comparatively , few mistresses afford their servants proper facilities for doing so. The small w'ash i basin in the bed room is entirely Inade quate. A tub at least once a week Is a j physical necessity for health as well as ; for comfort, and the mistress who has the welfare ot her household at heart will j take the trouble? to see that her maids do ! not neglect this duty, which is quite as j important as the washing of dishes and ! the scrubbing of corners, since wherever : there is dirt there is a lurking place for | disease germs. In most modern houses and apartments where there Is no bath tub exclusively for the servants' use, there Is a very good substitute for one in the new stylo station ary washtub, which is fitted with a re- j movable partition. But should this con- , venieni accessory be lacking, there is no 1 real reason why the maid should not be permitted to use the family bath tub, pro vided afterward Bhe scrub It thoroughly with a hard brush, some good kitchen soap and plenty of hot water. Jn extending this privilege, however, it should be stipulated that the hair be washed elsewhere. A big dishpan—reserved especially for the pur pose-placed in the kitchen elnk will an swer very well for this operation, which should be performed at least once in two weeks. If the mistress insists that the maid wear a cap while sweeping or dust ing it will be easy to keep the hair in good condition. tant than cleanliness of person. A girl who does housework, with Its attendant i penalties of dust, heat and perspiration, needs to change her undergarments at least twice a week In summer. The mis tress Bhould request her to do this, and should see that the soiled clothing Is laun dered each week. It Is quite possible to broach the subject In a tactful way with out injuring the girl's feelings of self-re spect. She will not resent the surveillance If she be made to understand that It la prompted by concern for her personal affairs. In all well appointed households the maid wears a uniform of some light col ored material, such as blue or pink In the morning and Invariably black after 4 In the afternoon. A white linen turnover col lar, a tie of narrow ribbon and a neat apron of white lawn or cambric finishes both of these costumes. A capacious over all apron of gingham, made with a bib large enough to cover the bust, should be worn while engaged In cleaning or kitchen work, this to be slipped off when there Is a summons to the pal lor or the door. Whether there be one or more maids In the house, It Is the one who opens the door and waits at table who wears the most fetching aprons. Dotted Swiss or the new embroidered tatlste—which Is quite as transparent as the Swiss—Is used for malt ing the smartest of these accessories, the trimming consisting of ruffles and bre telH's edged with narrow lace or fine em broidery. Less frivolous and more ser viceable aprons are those made of lawn or nainsook with wide hemstitched hems and shoulder straps trimmed with hemstitched ruffles. COULD NOT KEEP UP.
