CHAPTER I.
retired major , a
Laurence Jen was a
bachelor , and the proprietor of a small
the
estate. He had been all over
world , a soldier in African campaigns ,
American insurrections. On :
as in South
leaving the service he decided that i it
the coun
was better to be a Triton in
try than a minnow in town ; and acting
"Ashan
upon this theory , he purchased
. For
tee" from a ruined stock broker.
merly the place had been called Sarby
' but
original owners ;
lands , after its
honor of
Jen had changed the name , in
a campaign in which he had partici
pated.
He had been present at the downfall
had con
of King Koffee in Africa ; he
tracted during the expedition an ague
which tormented him greatly during ;
received ; a
he had
his later life , and
' for
wound and a medal. In gratitude
these gifts of fortune , the Major , with ]
had converted the name
some irony ,
Sarbylands into the barbaric appella
and
African kingdom ;
tion of a West
many he lived with his !
here for many years ,
two boys. ! .
These lads , named respectively Mau .
rice Alymer and David Sarby , were in
no way related to the Major , but they ;
had entered into his life in rather an
odd fashion. Alymer was the son of a .
beautiful girl with whom Jen had been
passionately in love but she did not
return his affection , and married one
of his brother officers , who was after
wards killed in the Ashantee War. Jen
cherished a hope that she would re-
ward his love by a second marriage ,
but the shock of her husband's death
proved too much for the fragile widow.
Sho died within a week after receiving
the terrible news , and left behind her
a wailing infant , which was consigned
to the cold charity of indifferent rela-
tives.
It was then that the Major displayed
the goodness of his heart and the no-
bility of his character. Forgetting his
own sorrows , he obtained permission
from the relatives to adopt the child ,
and to , take charge of the trifle of :
property coming to the lad. Then he
bought Sarbylands , set estate and
house in order under the name of
"Ashantee , " and devoted his life to
cherishing and training the lad in
whose blue eyes he saw a look of his
dead love. This Platonic affection , be-
gotten by the deathless memory of the
one passion of his life , filled his exist-
ence completely , and rendere'd him en
tirely happy.
With regard to David Sarby , he had
passed with the estate to Jen. The
boy's father , a drunkard , and a con-
firmed gambler , had been forced , ,
through his vices , j ( to sell his ancestral
of the sale
home ; 'and within a year
he had dissipated the purchase money
in debauchery. Afterwards , like the
sordid and pitiful coward he had al-
ways proved himself to be , he commit-
ted suicide , leaving his only son-
since been
whose : : mother had long
worried into her grave-a pauper , and
an orphan.
The collateral branches of the old
Sarby family had died out ; the rela-
tives on the mother's side refused to
have anything to do with a child , who
-if heredity went for anything - ! might
prove to be a chip of the old block and
little David might have found himself
thrown on the parish , but that Major :
Jen , pitying the forlorn condition of
the child , saved him from so ignomin-
ious a fate. His heart and his house
were large enough to receive another
pensioner , so he took David back to the
old deserted mansion , and presented
him to Maurice as a new playfellow.
Henceforth the two boys grew to man-
hood under ; the devoted care of the
cheerful old bachelor , who had pro-
tected their helpless infancy.
The Major : : was fairly well-to-do
having considerable private property ,
and he determined in the goodness of
his heart , that "the boys , " as he fondly
called them , should have every advan-
tage in starting life. He sent them
both to school and later called upon
them to choose their professions. Mau
rice more of an athlete than a scholar ,
selected the army , and the delighted
Major highly approved of his choice.
Of a more reflective nature and stu-
dious mind , David wished to become a
lawyer.
Both lads proved themselves worthy
of Jen's goodness , and were soon in
active exercise of the professions
which they had chosen. Maurice
joined a regiment , and David was ad-
mitted to the bar. Then the Major
.
\
was thankful. His boys were provided
for , and it only remained that each
should marry some charming girl and
bring their families to gladden an old
bachelor's heart at "Ashantee. " The
Major : had many day-dreams of this
sort ; but , alas ! they were destined
never to be fulfilled. Fate began her
work of casting into dire confusion the
hitherto placid lives of the two young ;
men.
Frequently the young barrister and .
the soldier came to visit their guar I
dian , for whom they both cherished a
deep affection. On' the occasion of
each visit Jen was accustomed to cel
ebrate their presence by a small festi
val , to which he would ask two or
three friends. With simple craft , the
old man would invite also pretty girls ,
with their mothers ; in the hope that '
his lads might be lured into matri
mony.
The Major was a confirmed bache
lor , but he did not intend that his boys
should follow so bad an example. He
wished Maurice to marry Miss Isabella
Dallas , a charming blonde from _ the
West Indies ; and David he designed as
the husband of Meg Brance. But Jen
was mistaken in thinking that he could
guide the erratic affections of youth
as will hereafter be proved. Sure
enough , the lads fell in love , but both
with the same woman-a state of
things not anticipated by the Major : ,
who was too simple to be a match-
maker.
On this special occasion , however , no
ladies were present at the little dinner
and besides Jen and his two boys Dr.
Etwald was the only guest' About
this man with the strange name there
is something to be said. He was tall ,
he was thin with a dark- lean face ,
and fiery , watchful dark eyes. For
three years he had been wasting his
talents in the neighboring town when
he should have been shouldering : his
jvay above the crowd of mediocrities
in the metropolis. The man was dis
passionate brilliant , and persevering ;
he had in him the makings , not only of
a : : great physician but of a great man ;
and he was wasting his gifts in a dull :
provincial town. No one knew who
Etwald was , or whence he came , or
why he wasted his talents and such
secret past which he declined to yield
up to the most persistent questioner ; ,
accentuated the distrust caused by his
somber looks and curt speeches. Pro-
vincial society is intolerant of origi-
nality.
Etwald had become acquainted with
Jen professionally , and having cured
the Major of one of his frequent at-
tacks of ague , he had passed from be-
ing a mere medical attendant into a
closer relationship of a friend. The
boys had met him once or twice , but
neither of them cared much for his
somber personality , and they were not
overpleaseM to find that the Major : had
invited the man to meet them on the
occasion of this special dinner.
But Jen-good simple soul-was
rather taken with Etwald's mysticism ,
and , moreover , pitied his loneliness.
Therefore he welcomed this intellec
tual pariah to his house and board ;
and on this fine June evening Etwald
was enjoying an > excellent dinner in
the company of three cheerful compan-
ions.
Major : Jen sustained the burden of
conversation for Maurice : was absent-
minded , and David physiognomically
inclined-was silently attempting to
read the inscrutable countenance of
Etwald. As for the latter he sat with
his brilliant eyes steadily fixed upon
Maurice. : The young man felt uneasy
under the mesmeric gaze of the doc-
tor , and kept : twisting and turning in
his seat. Finally he broke out impa
tiently in the midst of the Major's
babble and asked Etwald a direct
question. '
"Does my face remind you of any-
one ? " he - . demanded . . , rather sharply.
"YesT Mr. Aylmer ! " replied Etwald ,
deliberately , "it reminds me of a man
who died ! "
.
"Dear me ! " said Jen , with a. sympa-
thetic look. "Was he a friend of yours : ,
Doctor ? "
"Well , no , Major , I can't say that he
was. In fact , " added Etwald with the
air of a man making a simple state-
ment , "J hated him ! "
"I hope you don't hate me ? " said
Maurice , ' rather annoyed.
"No Mr. Alymer ; , I don't hate you ! "
replied the doctqr in a colorless tone.
"Do ' you believe in palmistry ? " be
asked , suddenly.

"No ! " said Maurice , promptly.
"All rubbish ! " added the Major. : \
"What do you say , Mr. Sacby ? " ask-
ed Etwald , turning to the lawyer.
"I .am a skeptic also , " said David
with a laugh. "And you ? "
"I am a believer. "
Here Etwald rose and \ : rossed over
to where Maurice : was sitting. The
young : ) man , guessing his errand , held ]
out his left hand with a smile. Etwald ]
scrutinized it closely , and returned 1 to
his seat.
"Life in death ! " he said calmly. ;
"Read that riddle , Mr. Aylmer. Life
in death. "
CHAPTER II.
"Life in death ! " repeated : Maurice
in puzzled tones. "And what do you
mean by that mystical jargon , doc
tor ? "
"Ah , my friend , there comes in the
riddle. " .
"Paralysis ? " suggested David , In a
jesting manner , but with some seri
ousness.
"No ; that is not the answer. "
"Catalepsy ? " guessed Major Jen , giv
ing his moustache a nervous twist.
"Nor that either. "
Maurice : , whose nerves were' proof I
against such fantasies , laughed disbe-
lievingly.
"I don't believe you know the an-
swer to your own riddle , " he said ,
salmly.
Etwald shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know for certain , Mr. Ayl
mer but I can guess. "
"Tell us your guess , doctor ; as it
interests me so nearly , I have a right
to know. : "
"Bad news comes quickly enough
in the telling , " said the doctor , judi
ciously , "so I shall say nothing more.
Life in death is your fate , Mr. Ayl
mer ; unless , " he added , with a swift
and penetrating glance , "you choose
to avert the calamity ! "
"Can I do so ? "
"Yes , and in an easy manner. Nev
er get married. "
Maurice : flushed crimson , and , re-
senting the mocking tone of Etwald
half rose from his seat , but without
moving a finger , Etwald continued in
'
a cold tone :
"You are in love with a young lady ,
and you wish to marry her ! "
"Quite right ! quite right ! " broke in
Major Jen , heartily. "I want Maurice
to marry. "
"Then you want him to meet his
fate of life in death ! " said Etwald
curtly.
The others stared at him , and with ]
the skepticism of thoroughly healthy ;
minds refused to attach much import
ance to Etwald's mysticism. Jen was
the first to speak , dnd he did so in
rather a stiff way , quite different from
his usual jovial style of conversation.
"My dear Etwald , if I did not know
you so well I should take you for ; a
charlatan. "
"I am no charlatan , . Major , " rejoin
ed Etwald coolly. "I ask no money ;
for my performance. I repeat my ;
warning to Mr. Aylmer. Never get
married ! "
"I am afraid it is too late for me to
take your advice , doctor , " said Maur
ice merrily. "I am in love. "
"I know you are , and I admire your
taste. : "
"Pardon me , doctor , " said Maurice
stiffly. "I mention no names. "
"Neither do I , but I think of one
name , my friend. "
"Now you are making a mystery out
of a plain common-sense question , "
said David , irritably. "We all ' : now
that Maurice : is in love , " here he raised
his eyes suddenly , and looked keenly
at his friend , "with Meg Brance. "
Major Jen chuckled and rubbed his
hands together in a satisfied manner.
Etwald bent his somber looks on
Maurice , and that young man , biting
his lip , took 'up the implied challenge
in Sarby's remark , and answered !
plainly : .
"I am not in love with Meg , my dear
fellow , " said he sharply ; "but if you
must know , I admire"-this with em-

The brow of Sarby grew black and
in his turn he rose to his feet.
"I am glad to hear it is only 'ad-
mire , ' " he remarked , slowly , "for had
the word been any other I should have
resented it. "
"You ! And upon what grounds ? "
cried Aylmer flashing out in a rage.

"That is my business. " "

CHINA HAS A BIG CONTRACT.
Trying to Blot Opium Ilnbit From
Face of Her Country.
Suppose that President Taft and our
National Congress should send out an
edict tomorrow that every man and
woman in the employ of the govern
ment must * give up the drinking of
liquor or be dismissed from office , and
that no new appointment should be
made to any one who had contracted
the liquor habit or who would not sign
the pledge , writes Frank G. Carpenter
from Pekin.
Let this edict relate not only to 1
: Washington but to every postoffice
and custom house , and let its effect he
so extended as to include every State
official , even to the county clerks , sher
iffs and their subordinate employes.
Let another edict. provide that all
must show government permits before
a glass of whisky , wine or other liquor
will be sold to them , and so that every
saloon keeper be subject to fine and
imprisonment if he breaks this law.
Let the edict summarily shut nine-
tenths of the saloons , and provide for
the absolute destruction of all within
the course of ten days.
Let there be laws forbidding the dis
tilling of liquors and their Importa
tion ; and , in short , the inauguration
of a scheme of government restrictions
which would entirely wipe out the
manufacture , selling and drinking of
anything intoxicating within the space
of ten years.
It would be a good , big contract ,
would It not ? ' *
Well , that is just what China is try ;
ing to do as to blotting opium and the
opium traffic from the face of her
country. . . .
In nearly every province of China
there has been a general closing of
the opium dens. In some cities a hack- ]
door business is still going on , hut ? the
public smoking has become unpopular
and dangerous and the chief opium
used is now behind closed doors.
In Shanghai all the dens in the na
tive town have been shut , and fully
half of those In the foreign concessions
wiped out. The foreigners propose to
clean out the evil in their part of the
city by 1910.
The work of the repression is going
on rapidly , but opium is still smoked ?
largely In secret and an enormous
amount of underhand selling and
smuggling is done. These people are
just as human as we are and the same
conditions prevail as would obtain ini : i
the United States were we to try to
abolish the drink habit within as short
a time as the Chinese have allotted to
the wiping out of this terrible drug.
Some of the officials are hypocrites ,
others are openly disobeying the law ,
while others , bound in the Laocoon
grip of the opium , are secretly smok
ing the drug or are injecting morphine
into their persons behind their closed
doors. The movement for the most
part is earnest and honest , and it has
already accomplished a vast deal ol
good. .
HEAT AS UNIVERSAL CURE.
Household Remedies in Hot Watei
Appllnd In Various Way
It was rard to realize last summer
that heat could have any good quali
ties , but the mother of toothachy Joe
or Jeggy , who Has the falling down
habit , knows better , an exchange says.
. There is no family comforter like
the hot water bottle , and heat , whether
in liquid or dry form , in poultices , ,
fomentations or baked flannel , is a
household friend.
There are few home ailments that
cannot be eased by heat. For earache
or toothache nothing is better than
the hot water bottle or lying on bags
of hot bran or holding a mouthful of
hot witchhazel and syringing the ear
with warm water.
Bruises and sprains are relieved by
putting them at once in water as hot
as can be borne. Sleeplessness is often
routed by clothes wrung out of hot
water placed on the forehead and base
of the brain. ,
A hot foot bath and a glass of hot
water has been known to drive away
bad sick headache , while nervousness
is frequently allayed by a cup of hot
water with half a teaspoonful of salt
nit.
Took lieave of His Prisoners.
Robert Chanler , retiring sheriff oi
Dutchess county , N. Y. , broke all pre
cedents by delivering a farewell
speech to the prisoners In the county
jail , saying In part :
"Boys , you'll all be out of here in a
little while. Don't come back. You're
too fine a lot to be in here. Most of
you come here through drink. Cut it
out. Be decent. Be on the level with
everybody and you'll be fair to your
selves. We all make mistakes. You
have made them and so have I. Don't
make the same mistake twice. That's
the point. Make up your : minds to be
right and stick to it. Don't give up.
Everybody ] : will respect you then. Be-
have as well outside as you do Inside
and nobody will have any kick com-
ing. Have a banana and a cigar with
me. "
All the prisoners shook hands with
I
the sheriff. Some of them were crying ,
and many promised they would try
and reform.

INSOMNIA
Leads to Madneaa , if Not Remedfecl
In Time.
"Experiments satisfied me , some 5-
years ago , " writes" a Topeka woman ,
"that coffee was the direct cause of
the insomnia from which I suffered
terribly , as well as the extreme nerv
ousness and acute dyspepsia which
made life a most painful thing for me.
"I had been a coffee drinker sinc
childhood , and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all
this harm. But it was , and the time
came when I had to face the fact , and . . . .
protect myself. I therefore gave uj
coffee abruptly and absolutely , and
adopted Postum for my hot drink at
meals. '
"I began to note improvement in my
condition very soon. after I took o . -
Postum. The change proceeded graft
ually ; , but surely , and it waa a matttl
of only a few weeks before I fount-
myself entirely relieved ' the nVrrou
ness passed away my digestive a >
paratus - was restored to normal eft .
ciency and 'began to sleep , restfully
and peacefully. .
"These happy conditions have co . .
tinned during all of the .5 years , an |
l I am safe in saying that I owe them .
entirely to Postum , for when I began " -
to drink it I ceased to use medicines. ,
