At Lalf-past nine 1 heard the sound of a horse driven furiously up the drive. It came to a stop in front of the house and immediately after there were hurried steps on the veranda. Our nerves were not what they should t ave and Gertrude always ap prehensive lately, was at the door al most instantly, A moment later Louise had burst into the room and stood there bareheaded and breathing hard. ' Where is Halsey'" she demanded Above her plain black gown her eyes looked big and somber, and the rapid drive had brought no color to her face 1 got up and drew forward a chair ' He has not come back." 1 said quietly. "Sit down, child: you are not strong enough for this kind of thing " 1 don t think she even heard me He has not come back?” she asked. looking from me to Gertrude Do you know where he went? Where can I find him?” For neaven s sake. Louise." Ger trude bum out. “tell us w hat is w rong Halsey is not here. He has gone to the station for Mr Jamieson Whai has happened?" To the station Gertrude? You are i sure*" Yes." 1 said "Listen There is J the w histle of the train now " She relaxed a little at our matter oMa< t tone, and allowed herself to sink into a chair. 1 "Perhaps 1 was wrong she said heavily. "He—will be here m a few moments if—everythin* is right " We sat there, the three erf us. with otu attempt at conversation Roth Ger trude and 1 recognised the futility of askins Louise any Questions: her reticence was a part of a role she had assumed. Our ears were strained for the first throb of the motor as it turned into the drive and commenced the climb to the house Ten minuet passed, la. 20 I saw Louise's hands grow naid as they clutched the arms of her chair 1 watcher!

Louise demanded breathlessly. Mr Jamieson knew her at once al though he had not seen her before She had kept to her rooms until the morning she left. "No. Miss Armstrong." he said. '1 saw nothing of him What is wrong*" Then we shall have to find him " she asserted. "Every instant is pre cious. Mr Jamieson. 1 hare reason tor believing that he is in danger, but : I don't know what it is. Only—he must be found.” The stocky mac had said nothing Now however, he went Quickly to ward the door ' I’ll catch the hack down the road and hold it.” he said "Is the gen tie man down in the town*" "Mr Jamieson," Iaiuise said impul sively. "I can use the hack Take my horse and trap outside and drive like mad. Try to find the Dragon Fly—It ought to be easy to trace. I can think of no other way. Only, don't lose a moment " The new detective had gone, and a moment later Jamieson went rapidly down the drive, the cob's feet striking fire at every step. Louise stood look ing after them. When she turned around she faced Gertrude, who stood indignant, almost tragic, in the hall "You know what threatens Halsey.

Scotland also has her Doomsday Book. dating, however, only from the thirteenth century. When the l^uina tyne club published the records, about TO years ago. under the modest name of "The Ragman Rolls," Scotland awoke to the disagreeable knowledge that she was Indebted to the English for the only authentic accounts of her ! early social history. Nobles, land holders. burgesses and clergy all con tribute to the interest of the Ragman Rolls.

A Substitute for Coal. According to the Washington bu reau of manufactures an invention has been made by a native of Galicia, whereby the demand for coal for do mestic purposes will be greatly di minished. The inventor, an engineer, has made a combination of crude pe troleum. cinders and sand into bricks, or briquettes, which may be used as fuel l$r any household in place of coal. A hundred kilos (220.4 pounds! will, it is said, cost only four shillings A society has been formed for the pur pose of manufacturing these bricks with a capita] of £ 40.600 and a fac torv is to be placed in operation at Flnrisdorf PROPER TREATMENT FOR OVERHEATED WORK HORSE It Is Important to Know That F.«hanstloa From Sommer Heat May Be Prerented—Clean Stable.

EXTINCTION OF EARLY EQUINES Much Mystery Surrounds Dtsap pesraoce of American Horae - Attnbcted by Soma to locreastni Cold Over three centuries ago, at the ttae of the Spanish conquest, there yes not to be found in the new world, eo it has been practically proved, a single animal that answered to the description of the horse Horses. Indeed, which the Spanish brought with them, were objects at first of great terror to the natives, who took them to be four-legged su pernatural beings come purposely to aid the conquerors. Yet recent re search by the Whitney mission has es tablished beyond doubt that long be fore Coinmbus the Americas were overrun by horses from the moun tains of Alaska to the plains of Pata gonia. says Harper's Weekly. In 1SJ€ the chance discovery in New Jersey of an equine fossil of an un known kind, led to more methodical investigation of America, with the re sult that pre-historic horse bones have been found In California and Or egon : between the Gulf of Mexico and the Carollnas: in Texas. Florida and the valleys of Mexico: in the basin of the Mississippi and on the western slopes of the Rocky mountains Horses, too. must have been numerous in this country previous to the appearance of man. researches having brought to light their fossilized remains mixed up with pottery and the stone arms of cave dwellers. How is It. then, that the equine race, represented in America by kinds of fossils considerably more numerous than in Europe, came for a time to vanish from this country to reappear thousands of centuries later with the Spanish conquest? For but a ceutry after Cortex there were already in ex istence herds of wild horses in the regions of the mats, and the prairies of the far west | By some this temporary extinction of the Americas horse has been at tributed to the increasing cold and the encroachments of the glacial hemis phere It is certain that the elephant and camel disappeared at the time. Another explanation is that the horses succumbed to a malady such is the -rinderpest- in South Africa. Again, what brought about this exodus may possibly hare been a species of the present-day Columbian vampire bat. which sucks the life blood of Its victims, and in the districts it infests prevents the horse being used as a beast of burden. Increasing Use of Tuberculin. Br-om my viewpoint, the use of tuberculin is on the increase. Having been pushed in an indiscreet way by overxealous advocates It has been handicapped by much prejudice against It. says a writer in an ex hrange Yet those to whom the farm ers have a right to look as leaders, advisers and educators, notably the agricultural colleges and experiment stations, and state and national agri oilinrti departments, a swell as hosts of other Investigators, are substan tially unanimous as to the exigency which calls for auch a diagnostic agent, and as to the reliability and harmlessness of tuberculin Toads aa Bug Catchers.
