The Plan Upon Which Coffee Oper- ate . I Coffee is such a secret worker that it is net suspected as the cause of I sickness or disease , but here Is a very sure way to find out the truth. A lady in Memphis gives an inter : esting experience her husband had 1 with coffee. It seems that he had I been using it for some time and was an invalid. l i The physician in charge shrewdly : suspected that coffee was the "Worm ! at the root of tbe tree , " and ordered I I E It discontinued with instructions to . I t use Postum regularly in its place. ' The wife says : "We found that I t was the true remedy for his stomach I I -and heart trouble and we would have J gladly paid a hundred times the I amount of the doctor's charge when we found how wise his judgment was : I "The use of Postum instead of cofI I s fee was begun about a year ago , and I j it has made my husband a strong , t -well man. He has gained thirtyfivea I pounds in that time and his stomach a r i and heart trouble have all disappear- ed. I ! "The first time I prepared it I did -cot boil it long enough and he said there was something wrong with It Sure enough , it did taste very fiat , but ! , the next morning I followed directions E f carefully , boiling it for fifteen min- utes , and he remarked 'this is better than any of the old coffee. ' " "We use Postum regularly and never tire of telling our friends of r the benefit we have received from leav- k ing off coffee. " Look for the little book , "The Road to Wellville , " in pkgs.

I , CHAPTER XVI. - ( Continued. ) With a swift , Instinctive movement both of them turned away. Each read In the other's face consciousness of the impossibility of discussing those 'experiences ' through which they had come to be what they were. Such men guard the real history of their lives and the real emotions of their hearts , , as jealously as the combinations of their cards. The old , Ironical smile lighted up Mantel's features , and i he said : ' "We seem to have a violent antipa- , thy to thin ice , Davy , and skate away from it as soon as it begins to crack a little beneath our feet. "Yes , " said his friend , shrugging his , ' shoulders , "It is not pleasant to fall through the crust of friendship. There Is a sub-element in every life a too sudden plunge into which might result in a fatal chill We had all better keep on the surface. I am frank enough to say that the less any one knows about my past , the better I shall be I satisfied. " ! "I wish that I could keep my own Bejf from invading that realm as eas- ily as I can keep others ! Why is it that no man has ever yet been able to 'let the dead past bury its dead' ? It seems a reasonable. demand. " "He is a poor sexton-this old man , the Past. I have watched him at his work , and he is powerless to dig his own grave , however many others he may have excavated ! " "The Present seems as helpless at the Past. I wonder if the future will heap enough new events over old ones to hide them from view ? " Let : a shadow bury the sun ! Let 'a ' wave bury the sea , " answered David , bitterly. Mandel dropped his eyes in silence. For the first time since David had known him , his fine face gave some genuine revelation of the emotions of his soul. Great tears gathered in his eyes , and his lips trembled. In a mo ment , he arose , took his hat , laid his hand gently upon the arm of his friend , and said , "David , my dear fel low , we are skating on that thin ice again. We shall fall through if " - are not careful , ' and get that chill you were talking about. Let's go out and take a walk. Life is too deep , for either you or me to fathom. I gave it up as a bad job long ago. Come , let us go. We need the air. " They went' down into the streets and lost themselves in the busy crowd of care-encumbered men. Suddenly Man- tel was startled by an abrupt change In the manner of his companion , who paused and stood as if rooted to the pavement , while his great blue' eyes opened beyond their natural -width with a fixed stare. Following the direction of their gaze , ' Mantel saw that they were fixed on a blind beggar who sat on a stool at the edge of the sidewalk , silent and motionless like an old snag on the bank of a river-the perpetual stream of human life forever flowing by. His head was bare ; in his outstretched : hand he 'held a tin cup . which jingled 1 now and then as some "compassionate ] traveler dropped him a coin ; by his Bide , looking up occasionally into his unresponsive eyes , was a little terrier , ] his solitary companion and 'guide in a world of perpetual night. ] The face of the man was a remark- able one , judged by almost any stand- ard. It was large in size , strong in outline , and although he was a beg- gar , It wore an expression of power , of independence and resolution like that of another Belisarlus. But the feature which first arrested and long- ( est held attention , was an enormous ( moustache. It could not have been 1 less than fourteen inches from tip to t Up , was carefully trimmed and trainf ed , and although the man himse'lf was still comparatively young , was white " as snow. Occasionally he set his cup on his knee and with both hands twist- ed the ends into heavy ropes. It was a striking face and exacted from every observer more than a pass- I Ing look ; but remarkable as it was , Mantel could not discover any reason for the strained and terrible interest of his companion , who stood staring s ' o long and in such a noticeable way , that he was in danger of himself atl' tracting the attention of the curious g crowd. t : Seeing this , Mantel took him by the r arm. ! "What is the matter ? " he asked. Y "It is. he ! " cried David , drawing his s hand over his. eyes like a man , awak- p ening from a dream ; "it is he ! " p ' "It is who ? Are you mad ! Come a.way ! People are observing you. If there : is anything wrong , we must b move or get into trouble. " 1 : "Let me alone ! " David replied , shak- tl Inff off his hand. "I would rather die y than : lose sight of that . man. " n "Then come Into this doorway where is you can watch him unobserved , for you n are making a spectacle of yourself. Come : , or I shall drag you. " p , With his eyes still riveted on that IT strange countenance , David yielded to 01 the pressure of his friend's hand and tl they retired to a hallway whence he dl could watch the beggar unobserved. 01 His whole frame was quivering' with to excitement and he kept murmuring to ni himself : "It is i he. It is he ! I cannot be mistaken : ! Nature never made his double ! But how he has changed ! Flow old and white he is ! It cannot d. . be his ghost , can it ? If it were night C ( mig-ht think so , but it is broad dayal light ! This man is living flesh and re blood and my hand is not , after all , ply the ! hand of a mur - " li1 "Hush ! " cried Mantel ; "you : are of talking : aloud ! " "Yes. I am talking aloud , " he anb swered , "and I mean to talk louder nE yet ! I want you to hear that I am not ful murderer , a murderer ! Do you unCl1 derstand , ' ? I am going to ' , rush .out Inpe , " , . . . . . " ; . . J ! to the streets to cry out at the top of my voice-I am not a murderer ! " Terrified at his violence Mantel pushed him farther back into the door1 waly ; but he sprang out again as if his very life depended upon the sight of the great white face. "Be quiet ! " Mantel cried , seizing his arm with an iron grip. "Look at this hand , Mantel ! I have not looked at it myself for more than three years without seeing spots of blood on it ! And now it looks as white as snow to me ! " "You are in danger of being over- heard , and if you are not careful , in a moment more we shall be in the hands of the police ! " - "No matter if I am , " cried David , almost beside himself , and rapturously embracing his friend. "Nothing could give me more pleasure than a trial for my crime , for my victim would be my witness ! He is not dead. He" Is out there in the street. Mantel , you don't I know what happiness it ! You don't know ] how sweet it is to be alive ! A mountain has been taken from my shoulders. I no longer have any se- cret ! I will tell you the whole story of. my life , now. " "Not now ; but later on , when we are alone. " David had now grown more quiet and they stood patiently waiting for the time to come when the old beggar should leave his post and retire to his home , ' if home he had. At last he re- ceived his signal for departure. A shadow fell from the roof of the' tall building opposite , upon the pupil of an eye , which perhaps felt the darkness It could not seeThe building was his dial. Like millions of his fellow cread tures , he measured life by advancing shadows. ' He arose , and in his mien and move- ments there ; was a certain majesty. Placing his hat upon his storm-beaten head ; he folded the camp-chair under his arm , took the leading string in his hand and followed the little dog , who began picking his way with fine care through the surging crowd. Behind him at a little distance walk- ed the two gamblers , pursuing him like a double shadow. A bloodhound could not have been more 'eager than David was. He trembled if an omni- bus cut off his view for a single in"N stant , and shuddered if the beggar turned a corner. Unconscious of all this , the dog and his master wended their way home- ward. They crawled slowly and quiet- ly across a street over which thunderei ed an endless procession of vehicles ; they moved like snails ' through the surf of the ocean of life. Arriving at length at the door of a wretched tene- ment house , the blind man and his dog entered. As he noted the-squalor of the place , David murmured to himself , "Poor old man ! How low he has fallen ! " Several minutes passed in silence , while he stood reflecting on the doc- tor's misery , his own new happiness and the opportunities and duties which the adventure had opened and im posed. At last he said to his friend , "Do you know where we are ? I was so absorbed that I didn't , notice our route at all. " "Yes , " Mantel answered. "I have marked every turn of the way. " "Could you find' the place again ? " "Without the slightest difficulty. " "Be sure , for if you wish to help me , as I think you do , you will have to come often. i have made my plans in the : few moments in which I have been standing here , and am determined to devote my life , if need be , to this poor creature whom I have so wronged. I must get him out of this filthy hole in- to some cheerful place. I will atone for the past if I can ! Atone ! What a word that isVith ! what stunning force its meaning dawns upon me ! How : many times I have heard and ut tered it without comprehension. But somehow ; I now see in it a revelation of the sweetest possibility of life. Oh ! am a changed man ; I will make atonement , ! Come , let us go. I am anxious to begin. But no , I must pro- ceed with caution. How do I know that this is his permanent home ? He may be only lodging for the night , and when you : come to-morrow , he may be ' gone : ! Go in , Mantel , and make sure that we shall find him here tomorm row. Go , and while you find out all it you can about him , I will begin to search for such a place as I want to p put him in. We will part for the p present ; but when we meet to-night c we shall have much to talk about. I will tell you the whole of this long and bitter story. I am so happy , Mantel. You can't understand ! I have somen thing to live for now. I will work , oh , " you do not know how I will work to ' make this atpnement. What a word it a ; ! It is music to my ears. Atone- ment ! " And in the I ! so lexicon of human ex- perience he had at last discovered the " meaning of one of the great words of * n our language. After all , experience is I the only exhaustive dictionary , * and the definitions it contains are the only ones which really burn themselves in- 01 the mind or fully interpret the sig- nificances of life. e : t1 CHAPTER XVII. to The next few weeks were passed in devoted efforts to make the blind man comfortable and happy. David sought Id found a place to work , and after reserving enough of his to wages ; supbl ly the few necessities of his daily . . . fe . , dedicated the rest to the purchase it comforts for the poor invalid. - Mantel acted as his almoner , and . his delicate tact and gentle man-1 * ners ! persuaded the proud and revenge- .I old man to accept the mysterious charity. .

" . - " " - = _ - . _ " " ' - . . - - ' - "r ' . . . . , him , the physical ruin which the ter rible blow of the stone , the subsequen illness , and th6 ensuing poverty and wretchedness had wrought , became manifest. He experienced a sudden relapse , and began to sink into an ominous decline. Even had he not known the secret of his sorrow , it would have soon be come plain to his acute and watchfu 1 nurse that some hidden trouble was 3 gnawing at his heart , for he was taci - turn , abstracted and sometimes mo rose. He manifested no curiosity as to the benefactor upon whose charity he was living , but received the alms be- stowed by that unknown hand unsolicc ited , uncomprehended and unobserved . His mind , aroused by the conversa- tion of his untiring nurse to the reali ties of the present existence , would sink back by a sort of irresistible gravity into the realm of memory. There , in the impenetrable privacy of his soul , he brooded over his wrongs and counted his prospects of righting them , as a miser reckons his coins. The blow struck by David had stun- ned the doctor , but had not killed him. He lay in the road until a slave , pass- ing that way , picked him up and car- ried him to a neighboring plantation , where he fell into the hands of people who In the truest sense of the word were good Samaritans. Their hospital- ity was tested to the utmost , for he lay for weeks in a stupor , and when he recovered consciousness his reason had undergone a strange eclipse. For a long 1 < time he could not recall a single event in his history and when at last some of the most prominent began to re-present themselves to his view it was vaguely and slowly , as mountain- peaks and hill-tops break through a morning mist. This was not the only , result of the blow which his rival had struck him ; it had left him totally blind. Not until many weeks had passed did Mantel succeed in really engaging his patient in anything like a conver- sation ; , and even after he had begun to thaw ] a little under those tactful - ' " - I istrations of love , whenever the past was even hinted at the old recluse re- lapsed instantly" into silence. Mantel might have been discouraged had he not determined at all hazards to < enter into the secrets of this life , and to pave the way for the forgive- ness of his friend. He therefore per- sisted in his efforts , and one bright day when the invalid was feeling un- usually strong ventured to press home his inquiries. "I cannot help thinking , " he said , "that you could soon be reasonably well again if you did not brood so much. I' fear there is some trouble gnawing at your heart. " "There is , " he was answered , icily. "Have you wronged some one , then , and are these thoughts which vex you feelings of remorse and guilt ? " "Wronged some one ! " the sick man fairly roared , gripping the arms of his chair ] and gasping for breath in the excitement which the question brought on. "Not I ! I have been wronged ! z1 No one has ever b-b-been wronged as I have. XI have nourished vipers in my b-b-bosom * and been stung by them. I have sown love and reaped hate. I have been robbed , deceived and betray- - ed ! My wife is gone ! My health Is gone ! My sight is gone ! He has skinned me like a sheep ! My heart has , turned to a hammer which knocks at my ribs and cries revenge ! It ch- ch-chokes me ! " . He gasped , grew purple in the face and clutched at his collar as if about to strangle. After a while the par- oxysm passed away , and Mantel deters mined once more to try and assuage ' this implacable hatred. ( To be continued. ) . . lIe Wanted an Equal Chance. I The "sporting parson , " once a fa I miliar figure in English society , has ( all .but disappeared , in consequence of the : religious revivals and reforms of the : last century and a half. A hun- dred years ago , however , he still ex- isted , says a writer in Tit-Bits , and one of the type presided over a little seaside parish in Lincolnshire. The place was a fovorite landing place for woodcock at the time of their annual immigration , and the par- son used to tell off a native to let him know as . soon as the birds began to ar ri ve. rive.On On Sunday he was preaching to his ' congregation : , and had just reached d the second head , of his discourse , when the church door was cautiously opened and a head appeared followed by a ® beckoning finger. The parson either did not see , or lie would not heed the intruder , who then gave a loud cough. The preacher stopped in his preach- ing in the middle of a sentence and sc excitedly asked : "What is it , John ? " "Cocks istcoom , " replied John. The parson hurriedly closed his ser mon case.

I James "Willis Waa 25 Yearn Alone , Yet He Entertained Thousand James Willis , the hermit of WIllis' Island in the Delaware at Yardley , Pa. , has just celebrated the twenty- ; . fifth anniversary of his habitation there , durjng , which time he has en- tertained at his cabin more than 2,000 prominent visitors from all parts of the country , the Philadelphia Record says. One of the first things neces- sary for a visitor to do when calling on Mr. Willis is to register in a large book , after which the guest is ob liged to partake of generous hopital- ity. ity.Of Of course , there are scores of per- sons near by who are frequent visitors to the Island , coming almost every day , but they are not counted among the guests required to register. . . . Twenty-five years ago Mr. Willis was a business man in Philadelphia , and , coming here for a few weeks' vacation was favorably impressed with the is land which was then a wilderness. To- day it has a very different appearance and the cabin in which he lives is fit- ted up with every modern convenience , all the work of the owner. The place is secretly wIred and everything is within tne power of electricity. Electricity opens the doors , closes the windows , operates fans to make breezes and many are the jokes played upon his visitors by Mr. Willis , for not even a book can be picked up with- out feeling the presence of an unseen force. While residing here Mr. Willis has met with many discouragements , floods having several times practically clean ed " - the island of everything habitable. With renewed energy , however , he has rebuilt and to-day the Island -Is the envy of hundreds who love outdoor life. I QUws S The Chinese pupil reciting his lessor turns his back to the 'isacher.
