So much lead poisoning has been found to exist among painters and lead workers In New York factories that the department of labor (of that state) has begun a vigor ous campaign against plumblsm. a disease which recent Investigation by the federal government shows to be from eight to 10 times as frequent In American as in Euro pean factories where the manufacture and use of lead Is under strict governmental control. The department Is endeavoring to enlist the co-operation of employers and workers In lead at the same time that definite legal regulation of the Industry Is being proposed by the American Associ ation for Labor Legislation as a necessary supplement to voluntary action. This regulation which comes In the form of the association’s uniform bill, now being In troduced In every state In which a legisla ture Is at present sitting, calls for suffi cient washing facilities, Instructions to workman by foreman and others, mechan ical methods of dust prevention and re moval, and the prohibition of eating In workrooms. This promisee to be a big na tional campaign for the prevention of lead poisoning. The New York law already requires phy sicians and hospitals to report lead poison ing and the department has lust distrib uted to every palntes' union and to all employers and hospitals reporting cases of lead poisoning a 50,000 English edition of a card of "Information for Workmen," to be followed later by editions In other languages stating that, lead poisoning can be prevented, that hoods and other me chanical means are necessary to take away lead dust and fumes, but that the workers themselves need to take extra ordinary precautions. These Instructions to lead workers continue: How Men Are Poisoned By Lead. 1. Lead Is poison to the body. It en ters the body mainly through the nose and mouth. It may be Inhaled as dust or fumes It may be swallowed with food or saliva (especially If tobacco or gum Is Is put into the mouth with soiled lingers). Or It may be absorbed through the skin. 2. When lead gets Into the body. It leads among other things to Indigestion and lead "colic;” to diseases of the heart, blood vessels and kidneys; or to paralysis of the hands, known as “wrist drop.” 3. Lead acts upon the body slowly and Insidiously. Without knowing your dan ger you may be getting some lead poison Into your body every day. If you are working with lead In any one of Its many forms, you must therefore use great care so as to protect yourself against It. 4. On the very first sign of not feeling well, see a doctor or go to a dispensary. Do not wait until you are too sick to work. The earlier you go to a doctor, the easier It will be to cure you If you are be ing poisoned by lead. Be sure to tell the doctor all about your occupation and Its dangers. How to Prevent Lead Poisoning. 1. Always wash before eating, and If you work In a factory, before leaving the factory. Remove all dirt under your finger nails with a brush. X Never eat In the room In which you work. *. Never chew tobacco or gum while working. If you do, the lead dust on your fingers and In the air Is sure to be swal lowed. 4. Use overalls when you work. Do not wear your working clothes on the street or at home. They may contain lead and poison you and others. 6. Respirators are very useful and should always be used when working among lead dust or fumes. 5. Keep the workroom clean. Do all you can .to keep down dust. Do not get lead on your hands and clothes any more than you can possibly help. 7. Always eat a good breakfast before going to work. Drink plenty of milk. Have at least one good movement of the bowels every day. Constipation Is a sug gestive symptom of lead poisoning. Avoid the use of Intoxicants In any form. Their use weakens the body and makes It hard er for your body to overcome the poison Of lead. t. Keep clean. Wash with warm water, soap and nail brush. Take at lmst one full hot bath a week. LOSES FAT POKER POT WHEN WAVE HITS SHIP New York.—Heretofore the palm for poker playing has been held In the wild and woolly west, the Waldorf-Astoria end the steamboats on the Mississippi. But a new record has been established for the national sport on the French liner Savoie, which came Into port from Havre recently, battered by storm and bespat tered with spume. A game of poker stayed In progress through the worst of tho storm. French men and Americans were in the Kama. One pot was opened for the limit by one of the Frenchmen. When it came to John Francis King, of Chicago, the heaviest loser, he "tilted" the bet. Everybody etayed In, and when It came to the Frenchman again he "saw" everybody and went King the limit better. Raises were mads without voice until the stlence was broken by the call of one of the Frenchmen. He laid down three queens. > With a smile his countryman spread open a Jack full. With a sigh and a chuckle King uncovered four sixes and threw a protecting arm about the pasture of bills and haystacks of chips. Then came a crash and an awful, shock. A huge comber hit the ship on the port aide and the overflow smashed In two windows of the cardroom. Like a miniature Niagara the water gushed over the players, and chips were washed from their places and swept to the floor. Nobody could tell the sl*e of the pot and somebody got somebody else's money. Linens for Living Room*. From Harper's Basar.

H We ofaMaidanda ffiffwayman SYNOPSIS. In the time of Queen Anne, Lady Pru dence Brook, widowed at 16 and atill a widow at two and twenty, while Journey ing In a coach to London with her cousin Peggy, Is accosted by a highwayman who, however, takes nothing from her except a kiss. The two girls live with their grand mother Lady Drumloch, who, despite her reduced circumstances, maintains a gay social position in the court circle. Prue Is small, gay, delightful, daring, ex travagant. and always In debt. Bhe Is perpetually pursued by creditors and Just now Is In deep water for want oi a few guineas with which to buy. gown by whose aid she hopes to win bacK the queen's favor, very recently tost, one of her mad pranks. Bhe decides to visit Aaron's, a nat0,1b' money lender, and asks him to tMJ <■“ of her debts on the strength of ner ap proaching marriage to Sir Geoffrey Beau desert. Aaron Informs her, however, that BeM»* desert Is himself head over heels In « fn, and while Prue Is still In his ofnee sir Geoffrey arrives. Prue at once secrets herself In a o'08®* and to her astonishment overhears sir Geoffrey ask for advances of money, also on the strength of their engagement. Prue reads In a paper an account of the trial and sentence of Robin b reemantle, the highwayman who had kissed her", on the moors, and that he Is to be hanged at Tyburn the following Monday. Suddenly she recalls that acbOr<*ln£ to legal custom the debts of a widow are burled In the coffin of her husband. She conceives the whimsical Idea of marrying Robin In order to escape her debts. t Accompanied by Peggy she visits New gate prison and Robin, who Is already In love with her, consents to the ceremony. Afterward Prue asks to be alone with him for a few minutes <uid allows him to kiss her again and feels pity for his ap proaching execution. Lord Beaucombe also visits Robin and Robin tells him that he has proof that Beaucombe is not the legitimate heir to the title and threatens if he Is not re r leased to see that proof of this fact gets to Beaucombe's enemies. On Monday is Peggy suffering keenly because of her belief that Robin, now be ginning to be a hero In her eyes, is about to be hanged she is astonished at seeing him enter the house and la told that he has been reprieved and set at liberty. For his freedom Robin, whose real name Is De Cllffe, agrees to make over to Lord Beaucombe a paper conveying his claim to the title and estate to him. CHAPTER XX—(Continued.) "A truce to your braggadocio, my good friend.” laughed Prue; “your tragic tones and frowning looks al most persuade me that I need protec tion. Believe me. you are in » far worse case than 1; you stand greatly In need of a disinterested adviser, who would counsel you to leave me before too late, or at least take time—a year or two, we will say—to think It over." “Was there ever a lover that listened to such counsel? Not If he loved as 1 do. dear one. So far from waiting a year, I swear that a week Is too long, and that If you do not marry me to morrow—" He hesitated and Prue took him Up sharply. “What If I do not marry you tomorrow? Pray finish your threat, so that I may know what fate awaits me, since I shall certainly not marry tomorrow, neither noxt week, nor. per chance, next year.” “And does your ladyship Imagine that I, Geoffrey Beaudesert, will swell the ranks of those whom the beauti ful Viscountess Brooke lias left la menting at the church door?" demand ed the suitor, giving way at Inst to his long suppressed fury. “No, no, you cannot play with me as you did with Beachcombe, O’Keefe, Sutherland and a dozen others. Today I love you to distraction; you may bend me to your lightest caprice with a kind word. But scorn me and tomorrow you will have an enemy with the will, as well as the power, to cover you with shame. Aye, shame. Lady Prudence Brooke.” as she sprang to her feet with blaz ing eyes. “Where will you hide your head when all the world knows how and why you became the wife of an outlaw and a felon—the thief who stole the queen's necklace, for a nup tial gift to his bride! Ha, ha! that will be a feast Indeed for the scandal mongers of London town!” “And, Sir Geoffrey Beaudesert—how will he appear In the affair?” she re torted. "This Is not the first time to day that you have threatened me. Sir Geoffrey, but I advise you to let It be the last, for 1 warn you that if you drive me to do so, I may tell the story myself; and my ver sion of It will not leave you entirely unscathed. How could I have done this thing—this shameful. Scandalous thing, as you truly call It—If you had not helped; nay, pushed me Into It? Who bought the ring and license, and hired the parson? He was an ordained Church-of-England clergyman, was he not? If I am not mistaken. It was vou who ordered him to make the marriage service ’brief and binding.’ and bade him keep hts own counsel until his evi dence was needed to prove me Captain de Cllffe’s widow? If the scandal mongers of London Town feast at my expense, they will certainly banquet at yours! And if you talk of enemies —but no, we are not silly children to wrangle over trifles, and scratch and slap each other’s face because wo can not have our own wav all the time. Let us forget this folly and talk of pleasanter things.” “No subject is pleasant to me but one—-yourself," said Sir Geoffrey, with an effort to resume his ordinary man ner. "Believe me, however Impatient I may appear as a lover, as a husband you will find me a pattern of indul gence. But do not, I entreat you, try mv patience much longer.” "No doubt. Sir Geoffrey, I ought to be flattered by your persistence." re plied Prue petulantly, “but if you have so little delicacy as to press one hus band upon me before the other Is in his grave, you surely are not anxious ! to inflict upon me the possible fate of a bigamist? If, perchance, one of these 20 highwaymen escaped, and that one proved to be the one you helped me to marry, your hasty wooing might cause poor Prudence Brooke to blos som on Tyburn Tree or, worse still, to end her days on a cotton plantation. ’Tis strange how much more anxious you are to wed me since I became a wife, than you were when I was really a widow! Then I heard nothing about post-chaises and elopements—” ' Because then, dear Prue. I had not known the torture of Tantalus, the an gulsh of seeing you within reach of my arms, yet held at an inaccessible distance by the accursed phantom of a husband, who was no husband and never could be one. Pardon me if I am unable to restrain my jealous ardor, and believe me, if you will but set a time for rewarding my devotion, I will endeavor, however difficult the task, not to offend again." Prue reflected a few moments. Then she rose, with an air that left Sir Geoffrey no choice but to follow her example. "Sir Geoffrey,” she said, "I am in vited to accompany the queen to Wind sor, whither she Intends to go this week for a few days’ rest, and per chance to be out of hearing of the wrangling of Whigs and Tories for a season. When I return, if you are still in the same mind, I promise to be ready with an answer, with which I shall hope to satisfy you. In the meantime, I shall not take It amiss if you reflect seriously upon the many defects of my character and the great disadvantages you will bring on yourself by marrying penniless me, instead of seeking out some charming heiress—of whom I could point out several, both maids and widows—to whom your many noble qualities—and your title—would be ir resistible.” She made him the deepest of curt seys, preserving all the time a counten ance so grave and dignified that he was completely silenced, and was with drawing without further remonstrance, when the door was flung open, and James, in his most impressive manner, announced: “Lord Beachcombe." CHAPTER XXL AN AFFAIR OF FAMILY. There was a momentary pause of embarrassment Lord Beachcombe's last visit to Lady Drumloch’s house had been under circumstances that made the present one quite unforeseen. Also he had not met Sir Geoffrey since their hostile encounter in Hyde park, therefore a meeting in the presence of the woman who had been so disturbing an element in both their lives, was mutually disconcerting. Sir Geoffrey was the first to recover himself, greeting the new arrival with exaggerated politeness and inquiring after his health with a solicitude that Lord Beachcombe did not attempt to reciprocate. The wound he had re ceived from Sir Geoffrey’s sword was slight enough to be patched up with a few strips of courtplaster; the wound to his vanity still gaped. He looked on with a sardonic smile while Sir Geoffrey, pressing several impassioned kisses upon Prue’s reluctant hand, bade her “a brief adieu,” and slowly backed himself to the door. "I trust I am not driving Sir Geoff rey Beaudcsert sway,” said Beach combe, stiffly. "By no means.” cried Prue with alac rity. "Sir Geoffrey was taking bis leave . when you (entered. Sir Geoffrey, farewell. No doubt we “htill meet at Lady Rialton’s, or else where, later in the day; our world is so small, we can not get a way from one another even for an hour; don’t you find it sometimes grows monotonous, Lord Beachcombe?” As the door closed upon the parting guest. Beachcombe approached her with an air or distant respect, bowing profoundly, with Ids hand upon his breast. "Pardon this Intrusion. Ladv Pru dence. and permit me to lay my homage at your feet." he said. Prue curtsied again. “Pray, my lord, do not wound me by apologizing for a friendly visit.” she returned, with a sweet smile. "Be seated, and let me offer you a cup of chocolate." The little torment bad jumped quick ly to the conclusion that some motive of strong personal interest had brought her old lover to the house he had never entered since, scarcely a year ago. their troth had been broken with bitter words and thinly veiled insults on both sides. Her quick intuition warned her that his visit might, very possibly, add another snarl to the tangle in which she felt herself becoming hopelessly en meshed. So she exerted all her' tact and skill to keep him on tenter hooks, and give herself time to gather her forces, while she discussed frothy scan dals and airy nothings, pretending not to notice his lack of response and ill reprossed impatience, until suddenly she turned full upon him her clear and dazzling glance and changed her tac tics without a moment’s warning. "But I had forgotten," she said, “how little you care about scandal anij poetry, and I can scarcely flatter my self that my frivolous conversation can be very entertaining to you. My tongue runs away with me sadly, doesn’t it? I dare say you remember of old what a chatterbox X am. Well," with a sud den change of tone, ‘’now tell me what really brought you to see me?” Her abrupt question had the Intended effect of confusing her visitor and throwing him off his guard, while her Ingenuous smile disarmed him. "Your conversation is delightful at all times. Lady Prudence." he began hurriedly; ’’so much information—such —ah—Intimate knowledge of society— and literature is, as rare as it Is agree able. Nothing should I enjoy so much, if I did not have my head so full of a subject which—a—private family affair —which—which—” He trailed off helplessly, and she let him flounder until his embarrassment ceased to amuse her. Then she said quietly: “How can I be of any assistance to you, Lord Beachcombe. in a private family affair? That seems quite out of my province." “Alas! I am but’too well aware that I have forfeited all right to ask favors of you. Viscountess." he pleaded, “but I know your generous nature so well that I am emboldened to cast mysell upon your mercy.” "You flatter me!” she cried, with her dazzling smile. "What can my gen erosity and mercy do for Lord Beach combe ?" "I scarcely know. ’Tls but an idea; a mere catching at a straw. Still. 1 have been credibly Informed that yon were decoyed last night to the den ol Robin Freemantle, the highway rob ber. whence, with unparalleled courage you rescued the queen’s necklace-’ "Surely," she Interrupted, with some impatience, "her majesty’s necklace can not be your private family af fair?" He laughed explosively. "Is nothin; sacred to you, Lndy Prudence? I onlj wished to felicitate you upon your most remarkable adventure, and Its brilllan result, and to Implore you to tell me 1: you found any papers or documents It the—the plane where the necklace wai hidden." “Was the necklace hidden any where?" she inquired. In a tone of sur prise. ‘1 did not find it; It was given to me—" "By Robin Freemantle—is it not so?” he eagerly Interrupted. "Robin Freemantle! What could make you Imagine that he gave it to me?” she cried, in an accent of In tense astonishment. "My dear Viscountess, surely you are aware that this rascal, disguised In my mask and domino, followed you the whole evening of the masquerade ball—” "Is It possible?" cried Prue, with the prettiest imaginable air of incredulity. "La! what strange things happen at a masquerade!" "Possible? ’Tis a fact,” replied Beachcombe; "and 'tis easy to under stand that having fallen madly In love with you—” "The outrageous monster!” shrieked Prue. "Even monsters are human, dear Viscountess, and who can wonder that the beauty that has wrought such havoc in my—In our—in all beholders, should have smitten this fellow, who Is reported to have shadowed your foot steps all Monday night, disguised In a red domino and mask. That mask and domino were mine, and he robbed me of them it the same house by the river side where you were taken last night. A den of thieves, Viscountess, from which your escape unharmed was hardly less than a miracle." “My escape? Nobody attempted to detain me. In fact I saw no one, and the only danger I escaped was of be ing taken prisoner by the soldiers who came to search for—rebels, I under stood them to say." “Rebels! Ha! ha! ’tis true, this Jail bird has the audacity to mix himself up with Jacobite plots and claim that he only steals purses on the chance of their containing papers of value to the pretender’s cause! Speaking of papers brings me back to my own af fairs. When this villain stole my dom ino, he also robbed me of a packet of papers. He returned the domino—after putting It to the use you wot of—but the papers, of great value, he refused to give up. Is It possible, dear Lady Prudence, that while you were In this robber’s den, you saw such a packet?" Prue shook her head. “The sol diers took everything they could find In the place," she said reflec tively. "If I were you. I would make Inquiries of them.” "I have done so,” he said; "but they brought away no such packet." "Perhaps it was opened and they have the contents.” VI have reason to thtnk that unlike ly," replied Beachcombe, biting his lips and scowling. “Or destroyed?" she suggested. "No, Indeed; If I could hope for that—!” "What, hope for the destruction of valuable private papers? It Is not to you, then, that they are valuable?" she cried shrewdly. Ho started and eyed her suspicious ly for a moment. “To no one else,” he replied emphatically; "but you can surely understand, Lady Prudence, that same family documents would be better destroyed than In the hands of —an enemy.” "Was Rob—Captain Freemantle— your enemy?” she asked ingenuously. "It seems to me that some one—who can it have been?—said he was your relative. He calls himself De Cliffe, doesn't he?” Lord Beachcombe looked at her again with growing mistrust. “Did he have the' impudence to call himself De CUffe, when he addressed you at tho bull, Viscountess?” he demanded. ‘T>a! no; and if he had—people can say anything behind a mask, without fear of being believed," she retorted, laughing. “I recollect now that ’twas Barbara Sweeting, when she told us of the loss of the queen’s necklace. Slip told us how you had obtained his pardon when condemned to be hanged, and afterward set the soldiers upon him—” Beachcombe bent his sullen glance upon the carpet, tracing out Its faded pattern with his Malacca cane. "Every family has its painful secrets, Lady Prudence,” he began, "and this packet contains one of the De Cliffe family secrets—a painful one, but not Impor tant— ph—not at all Important. Had the soldiers found it, it would have been an easy matter to recover It— a few guineas at most—but if It is still in his possession—” "What like was it?" Prue inquired listlessly, for she was growing weary of a subject that had so little of per sonal interest for her. "Tiie packet? Oh, a small thing, about the size and appearance of a let ter—a fillet rioux”—he forced a laugh —"sealed and addressed to Mistress— Mistress—the name has escaped me for the moment, but twas in care of the hostess of the Fox and Grapes.” A sudden glow of color swept across Prue’s face. In her Joy at finding that the source of many a Jealous pang was not Robin's after all. It is to be feared that she quite overlooked the gravity of Lord Beachcombe’s accusa tion. What did it matter to her whose Jetter it was—if it were not Robin’s— written to another woman? She had an impulse to return It, and her hand involuntarily rose to the laces about her neck, where she had kept It con cealed except when she thrust It under her pillow, where It lay all night per vading her dreams.
