Without paying any attention to the
' sighs which exhaled from mj' bosom
, while scouring the rust from mj- long
two-handed sword, my uncle, magnify
ing glass in hand, was engaged in the
' examination of a lot of medals which
1 ite had purchased that morning. Sud
denly he raised his head; 3 o'clock was
1 striking.
"The Council!" he cried.
When iny uncle pronounced that au
gust word" it made a mouthful; for a
pin he would have saluted it barehead
ed. But this time, after a moment's
consideration, he tapped his forehead
and added, in a tone of supreme relief-
"No, the sitting does not take place
before to-morrow and I am forgetting
that 1 have to go to the railway sta
tion to get the consignment of which
I was advised this morning."
Rising from his seat and laying down
his glass he called out:
"Rcse, give ine my cane and hat."
Then turning quickly toward me. he
added in a lowered tone aud speaking
verj' quickly:
"As to you don't forgot our conver

saj- yes,' try!--but 1 don't think j-ou
will succeed. Meanwhile not a word to

to break the iron: not an idea came to
me; but I could thing of nothing, of nc
way of forcing him to give me his

At H o'clock Rose went into the coun-
trj-, whence she was not to return until
dinner time in the evening. On the
threshold she could only make n sign
to me with her hand; m' uncle had not
left us alone for a single instant, lie
was not easy iu Iih mind; I could see
that by his face. No doubt he had not
forgotten our conversation of the pre

I went on nibbing at my helmet.
"You have made it quite bright

I put it down. The storm was gath

But suddenly, as if overtaken l.. a

"A handsome piece of armor, there is
no doubt about it: but it must have
weighed pretty lioaviry on its wearer's

wobbled ou his shoulders.
"No," I repeated firmlj-, "I'll not help

From the depths of the strangely
elongated visor came, not an angr3' ex

"Yen told me it would only be lw force I

The clock was till striking: 1113- uncle

"Decide at once." I cried; "some

"Well, then 3'os," murmured mv un

"On 3-our word of honor?"
"On 1113- word of honor!"
The visor gave wa3 the gorgot-pioce

Just in time. The chemist at the cor

"Are j-ou coming?" he asked: "they
will be beginning the business without

"I'm coming," replied my uncle.
And without looking at me he- took
up his hat and cane and hurried out.
The next moment all mj- hopes had
vanished. M3- uncle would surelj- not

At dinner time I took my place at
table on his risht hand in low spirits,
ate little and said nothing.
"It will come with the dessert," I
thought.
Roe looked at me and I avoided meet
ing her eyes. As I had expected, the
dessert over, my ui.cle lit his pipe,
raised his head and then
"Rose come here."
Rose went to him.
"Do 3-011 know what that fellow
there asked 1110 to do 3'esterday?"
I trembled like a leaf, and Rose did
the same.
"To give him your hand," he added.
"Do 3-011 love him?"
Rose cast down her 03"os.
"Very well," continued mv uncle.
"on this side the case is complete.
Come here. 3-011."
I approached him.
"Here I am. uncle."
Ho burst into a hearty laugh.
"Many her then, donkey since you
love her. and I give her to 3-011."
"Ah uncle!"
"Ah dear papa!"
And Rose and I threw ourselves into '
his arms.
"Very good, veiy good." he cried, j
wiping his eyes. "Be happv; that's
all I ask." " ,
And in turn he whispered in my ear:
"I should have given her to you all
the same, you bis iroose; but keep the
story of the helmet between us two!"

The last census gave:
Cleveland, Ohio, a population of 861,833
Houston, Texas, a population of 27,557
For week ending March 10th:
Cleveland did business amounting to. .14,231,913
Houston, Texas, did business amount
ing to 4.322.060
Cleveland now claims 300,000 aud
Houston 50,000 population.
Houston does more business every
week, with its 50.000 people, than
St. Paul, population 133,eM
Denver, Col., population 106,713
Indianapolis. Ind , population 105.433
Allegheny, Pa., population 105,237
Rochester, N. Y., population 1S3.8SO
Providence, K. L, population 132,146
There are seventj--six other cities in
the different parts of the country,
from New England to the extreme
west, ranging in population from 30,
000 to 100,000. and Houston does from
four to six times as much business as
a 03- one of them.
Houston had no bank failures and its
business during 1S93, despite the panic,
grew steadily. Its prosperity can be
easily accounted for in its fourteen
railroads, all trunk lines, water trans
portation with the world, and the enor
mous territory of productive country
tributar3r to it, the population of which
is on farms producing cotton, corn,
wheat, lumber, sugar, fat cattle and
wool.
There is no army of unemployed in
Texas. The population is acrrarian in
stead of urban.
Business brings population to cities.
Houston will not long remain smaller
than other cities which do less than
one half as much business.

serious trouble through filaments of

involving frequent stoppages to clear

"Why. you see, Mester Peel, It's sort

"That's so." said Peel, smiling in re

Chicago, March 19. Special. It
was reported to-day that a large sum
of m oney had been offered the proprie
tors of the cure ior the tobacco habit
called 'no-to-bac," which is famous all
over the country for its wonderful
effect This offer, it is said was made
by parties who desire to take it off the
market and stop its sale, because of its
injury to the tobacco business. Mr. H
L. Kramer, general manager of the no
tobac business, was interviewed at his
office, 45 Randolph street, aud when
questioned, promptly said:
"No, sir. No-to-bac is not for B3le
to the tobacco trust We just re
fused a half million from other parties
for our business. Certainly notobac
affects the tobocco business. It will
cure o'ver a imlf'iiiHl;c.pj'p1',5 1!rrVt
at an average saving1 of 50, which
each would otherwise expended
for tobacco, amounts in round
figures to twenty-five millions of
money. Of course tobacco manufac
turers and tobacco dealers' loss is tho
gain of the part3 taking' notobac.
"Does no-to-bac benefit physically?
Yes, sir. Tho majorit of our patients
report an immediate gain in llesh, and
their nicotine ' saturated s3'stems
aro cleansed and made vigorous.
How is no-to-bac sold? Principally
through our traveling agents, wo
employ over a thousand. It is
also sold bv druggists whole

States and Canada. How are pati
cnts assured that no-to-bac will affect
a cure in their case. Wo absolutely
guarantee three boxes costinpS".50 to
cure any case. Failure to cure means
the money back. Of course there aro
failures but they are few, and we can
better afford to have the good will
of nn occasional failure than his

'Don't Tobacco Spit or Smoke Your

The simple faith of the Norwegian
peasants Is that the seeing or non-seeing
of beings of tiie other world is the
mere question of weak or strong nerves.
Onb, reversing the general- accepted
belief, it is the Northman of strong
nerves who has power to see the unseen
says All the Year Round. And he who
sees it fears not. 'Mf you have the grit,'
sa3s IU3- informant, "you 11133- see doz
ens and scores of forms pass tlie door,
but 3'ou know not what it is to fear
alarm."
"There's a ghost on every ship." says
tho same authorhv. "M3- own uncle
who saw the unseen from his chlldood,
was married to a woman who did not
believe in spirits. One night he asked
her to go out with him and she went.
If I see anything I will call for you,'
he said, and she agreed to it. In the
dark middle of the night he could soe

but the water aud the darkness.'
" 'Well.' said he, 'there are three men
there, plain to be seen, and now I'll go
and get up the nets, for a storm is sure
lj' coming.' "
Two o'clock was the wonted hour for
getting up the nets, but wnit he would
not. In spite of all his wife could saj
to him.
"When two o'clock came the nels of
all the other fishermen were lost, and
their boats were wrecked In a sudden
great storm that rose, but my uncle was
well out of it, and anchored in safety,
because he could read the signs they
were all blind to."
