l stared at him in astonishment.
"No," he went on, seriously. she
was the man who jumped-that was
just then his 'put-his line of business.
You see, if L had waltzed over the side
of that ship, and cavoorted in, and
1ummNxed round and finally foppedto
the bottom, that other man would have
jumped material like and saved her, and
ez he was going to marry her any way,
I don't exactly see where I'd hev been
represented in the transaction. But
don't you see, eff, after he'd jumped
and hadn't got her, he'd gone down
himself, I'd hev had the next best
chance, and the advantage of heving
him outer the way. You see, you don't

Somehow the story got out. The
Man from Solano as a butt became
more popular than ever, and of course
received invitations to burlesque re-
ceptions, and naturally met a great
many people whom otherwise he would
not have seen. It was observed also
that his 500 was steadily growing, and
that he seemed to be getting on in his
business. Certain California stocks
which l had seen quietly inferred in the
old days in the tombs of their fathers,
were magically revived; and as l re-
member, as one who had seen Il ghost,
to have been shocked as / looked over
the quotations one morning to have
seen the ghostly face of the "Dead
Beat Beach Mining Co.." rouged and
plastered, looking out from the columns
of the morning paper. At last a few
began to respect, or suspect, the Man
from Solano. At last, suspicion culmi-
mated with this incident:
He had long expressed a wish to be-
long to a certain "fash'n'ble" club,
and with a view of burlesque he was
invited to visit the club, where a series
of ridiculous entertainments were given
him, winding up with a card party. AS
l passed the steps of the clubhouse
early next morning, 1 overheard two or
three members talking excitedly.

why, he must have raked in nigh on

"Who?" l asked.
"The Man from Solano."
AS l turned away, nj of the gentle
men, a victim, noted for his sporting
pr~opensities, followed me, and laying
his hand on my shoulder, asked:
"Tell me fairly now. What bust

DIR. DE Loos declares that vegeta-
bles are capable of taking up metallic
particles from the soil. Consulted by a
family suffering from lead poisoning,
he found that they lived in the neigh
borhood of a place where the manufac-
ture of white lead had been carried on
some years before, and that they ate of
vegetables grown on the spot. DR.. De
Loos thereupon examined specimens OF
red beet, endive and carrots, and found
lead in all. In a beet weighing $50
grammes he found the equivalent of a
c~entigramme of metallic lead; in six
carrots weighing together 272 grammes
he found II centigrammes of lead.
The ashes contained traces of copper,
which, he thinks, existed as an impuri-
ty in the lead.
