"It was only a week bofoie ho wont

CHAPTER XXXtl.
Through the Heart.
It lacked several minutes of the
hour fixed for dinner when Ulako
strolled through tho hotel safe and
thence Into the lobby. Tho babble of
oIcob. tho gesticulations and tho
r.civous energy which pervaded tho
atmosphoie were not In harmony
with Blako's feelings.
"Jessie was afraid I was going to
say something to-night, and so sho
told me that bIio loved John," ho
muted, throwing away a half-smoked
clgnr "Dear old John! Lucky old
John! Hollo, w lint's the row? That
sounds like Morris! 1 suppose he's
drunk. If he hnd a spark of decent y
he'd bo with his father. Hero ho
comes!"
Morris pushed his way through the
crowd and was followed by young
Kingsley Not until ho was within
a few feet of Blnke did be recognie
his rinl Though anxious to mold
a meeting. Ulako scorned to retreat
or to turn his back.
Morris stopped squarely In front of
him. His lips parted with a sntor
nud his llngots tojed with a small
walking stick. Ulako leaned careless
ly against a maiblo column, his ejes
fixed on tho mnn who confronted him.
Had Make been In a Wostdn min
ing camp his llngots would hao
reached for the reel of a gun, but In a
metropolitan hotel he had no sense
of danger. The incident was trivial,
but disagreeable.
"Lend mo a thousand, Blak"." de
manded Mori Is.
A whisper passed around the room
and many turned to watch those two
men, whoso names had filled tin pub
lic pi hits of the day.
"Certainly," said Make, a strango
smile lighting up his handsome face.
"Is n thousand enough, Morris?'
Blako took a wallet from his inner
pocket nnd hnnded Morris n hill
"And a match," ordered Morris ad
vancing a step nearer.

Ice Made In Open Air.
Dr. Wells, a London physician. In
1818. in his published essav on dew,
was tho llrst to draw attention to tho
curious ni Uncial production of Ice In
India. Shallow pits aro dug, which
are paitlaliy (II led with perfectly dry
straw; on tho stiaw board, flat pans
containing water nro exposed to the
clenr sky. The water, being a won
dei ful radiant, scuds off Its heat abun
dantly Into space.
The heat thus lost cannot be re
placed ftom the eat th. for this source
Is excluded by the straw. Before sun
rise a cake ot Ico is formed In each
vessel To produce this Ico In quan
tities clear nights nie advantngeous,
and pnrtlculaily those on which prac
tically no dew falls.
Should tho straw get wet, It be
comes more matted nnd compact, and
consequently a better conductor of
heat, for tho npor acts as a screen
oor the pans, checks tho cold, and
retards fioez.lng. Pearson's Wccklj'.
Indians of Jewish Strain.
Sir Alexander Mnckonzlo had nn
Idea that tho Indians of tho far North
west wero partly Jewish in origin.
From Lake Athabasca In 1701 ho set
out nt the head of an expedition "In
a birch-bark canoe, 25 feet long, 4i4
feet beam and 21! Inches hold, with
11,000 pounds of baggage and provi
sion and a ciew of nine French Cana
dians." He leached tho Pacific coast
nnd returned. The aboilglnes ho met
wero "lor tho most part possessed of
stiongly lellglous Instincts," said ho
in bin leport. "With regard to their
origin nil we aro prepared to state,
after a careful survey of tholr lan
guages, mnnnera and customs, Is that
thoy aro undoubtedly of a mixed ori
gin; como trom the North-northwest
nnd hnd commerce In tholr early his
tory, perhaps, through Intormarrlngo
with people of Jewish persuasion or
origin."
Had Fun With the Umpire.
William Hayes acted ns umplro at a
ball game near Washington, Pa last
Sunday, t and his decisions did not
seem to glvo unmixed satisfaction.
Toward the closo of tho gamo he gavo
ono decision which evidently gavo
great pain to tho pluycrs on both
aides. Half a dozen of them seized
and carried him to a near-by rlvor and
tossed him In. Umplro Huyes scram
bled out In a hurrj whereupon the In
dignant athletes throw him back nnd
held him under water until ho was
nearly drowned. Thon they rolled hlni
on a beer keg until ho recovered,
when thoy volunteered tho Informa
tion that he was not cut out for an
umplro. On roflectlon Mr. Hayos is
prepared to ogreo with this idea. How
over, ho means to huo a dozen of hl
assailants.
