spoke still in the tone OF yelled irony which
irritated me so much. but he no longer stood
like statue. He placed his powerful hand
lightly on my arm and led me along q
passage and through an open doorway
which gave access to another short passage
There was an open door at the end Of 1t, and
almost before I was aware I had passed
through 1t and was standing in the middle
Of the strange apartment which the Duke OF
Cairngorm had caused to be prepared as a
punishment cell when the yacht was built.
My first impression was that Flinter was
playing some rough jest at my expense.
"What do you mean by bringing me to
this place" I asked. "Dr: Branksome Is
not here"
Flinter stood in the narrow doorway,
which his powerful figure completely filled
"You are quite right, young man." he
said. "The doctor is not here; out you'll
find very comfortable quarters here until he
comes-quite as good as you deserve"
"You insolent fool" cried hotly, "let me
pass"

physical pluck. did not hesitate moment

looked at my watch. To my surprise l
found that it was only one o'clock in the after
noon had heard the church clocks strik-
ing ten when I first stood on the deck OF the
Yacht. My imprisonment, which seemed to
have lasted for an age, had really so far con-
tinued for rather less than three hours. The
panic-for can call it nothing else, though
it is with shame that make the confession
into which had been thrown when l first

myself. Perhaps it was the calm Of despair
that took possession of my breast. At all

all agitating ideas out Of my mind as

in fruitless attempts to battle my fatel For
the present, at least, no bodily harm was in

to accept the situation and await events.
Full Of this new composure, I began to
take notice of the fact that was hungry,
and that food was at my elbow: I turned
to the table and observed there for the first
time that which ought to have seen before.
Guards had been put upon the table before
the food was to have been placed on it, so
that even the bottles were kept In their
places despite the heavy rolling Of the

ored training schools in the South are
found at Hampton and New Orleans.
Tennessee co-operates with the Peabody
Fund in the support of the leading nor
NAL college for whites of the South. AL
ALBANIA subsidies half a dozen schools for
the training of white and colored teachers.
West Virginia supports two or three
State normals, and kentucky, the Caro-
linas, Arkansas, Delaware and Florida
attempt something in this connection in
their State universities. Mississippi has
established a normal school for white
girls. Georgia alone seems to be the ex-
ception, although the colored colleges in
the State train teachers. Every State now
supports an institute asylum, more or less
effective.
But the most vital spot for training
teachers is the new graded school now
coming up in all the Southern towns.
This school offers special facilities for the
establishment of a proper training depart
ment of the Oswego IN. ~ pattern, CIV
ing at least year of instruction in the
science and method of teaching, with
practice in real school. Every Southern
city land all towns of thousand people
and upwards in the South have the city
organization), is the centre of an extern
sive rural district, generally poorly sup
piled with school facilities. The acade-
inies are too expensive for the majority,
especially of young women desiring to
teach, and seldom attempt proper train
ing. At moderate annual cost these free
graded schools may be crowned with an
effective training class, which will not
only supply the home demand, but furnish
a central opportunity for numbers of young
people from the country, who can return
and afford to teach in the neighborhood
of their own homes. Only in this way
can the South, in town or country, build
up an effective system of public schools.
Every important graded school South OF
Washington should make an effort in this
direction.-N England Journal Of E'd't-

MR. FLINTER AGAIN.

The season was beginning to wane at
Scarborough Harding had left the Grand
hotel some time before paid my strange
visit to Great Lorton, and l knew none OF
the persons who were staying there. Ny
position was not an enviable one, now that
was back again in the big house. 1t was
bad enough to be oppressed by that sense OF
mystery which enveloped everything con-
nected with the hall and with Mauleverer.
1t was still worse to be reminded by every
thing around me of those happy days when
Daisy and had been together, and when
she had first learned to love me. There was
the very spot in the hall Of the hotel where I
used to take my stand each morning, await
ing the appearance of her and her uncle on
their way to the saloon. There were the
Seats occupied by strangers now, where we
had spent so many never-to-be-forgotten
hours together; and there, quietly riding at
anchor in ths bay, was the beautiful yacht
which had learned to hate as one Of the
tangible proofs Of that wealth which divided

something like a spring OF it-a spring
which, when the volume was held in GER

particular place Any Of my readers who
cares to destroy the outward appearance of
q new book may by simple experiment
satisfy himself of the possibility of doing
this.
What was the subject which the person,
who had apparently looked at no other part
of the volume, had been studyingl
I glanced careless.y down at the printed
page, and the first word saw was "Strych-
MIA" Strychnia, poison! Wild thoughts
coursed instantaneously through my brain.
l saw that the chapter which some
one had been studying with the closest
care-for the pages were we'll thumbed-was
that in which the whole subject Of poisoning
by means of strychnia. the symptoms, the
dose, the fatal period, and the post mortem
appearances are treated with mastery pre-
cislon
What did it meant Let my reader place
himself in my position, prisoner absolutely
at the mercy of q man whom l honestly be-
lieved to be capable of any crime, if he
wishes to understand the dark and terrible
fancies which forthwith took possession Of
nv brain. Who could have bought this
book merely in order to study the subject Of
poisoning by strychnia with an innocent in
tentiont That was the first question asked
myself. Once more remembered the awful
words of Gregson. Was it possible that
murder was really about to be done at Great
Lorton Halll Nay, as the man whom I
knew to be the only one likely to commit
such crime was on board the Golden Hawk
at this moment, might it not be the case that
the crime had already been committed, and
that while he was flying from justice he had
carried me with him to prevent my being Of

demanded the full use Of all my faculties. If
were to deal with it to any useful purpose,
must treat it with all the coolness and dellber

the book, flung my cigar aside, and going

physician in chest diseases in st. Lukes
Hospital, has published little pamphlet
concerning it, entitled endemic Pleuro-
Pneumonia, as seen in New York during
the past ten or twelve years" In that
pamphlet DR.. Leaning holds to the
! theory that the pneumonia of the present
day, or rplcuro-pncmOnia, as he calls it,
Is the same rs the epidemic which caused
such havoc among the troops in Canada
| during the war Of lSl2-15
That the weather has much to do with
pneumonia is apparent The number of
deaths III New York city for the first
seven months of last year was as follows:
January, 375; February, 1876; March,
5S7; April, 512; May, 337; June, 229;
july, 15O After August there is usual
ly steady increase until March, tho
most fatal month of the wear. The
death rate, too is very high. The statis-
tics so far published, both in hospitals
and private practice, show an average
death rate of at least 20 per cent, or ono
III five of those attacked
The theories concerning the nature Of
the disease itself are many and varied.
Some physicians hold that pneumonia is
only local manifestation of general
disease, Others that it is a specific disease
caused by II specific poison, while still
others hold as tcnaciously to the germ
theory.
Without specializing upon these differ
cnt theories, from what has been said in
which all agree it is plain that anything
which lowers the vitality OF the system
Is conducive to the disease, and should
be carefully avoided. Ovcrwork, either
physical or mental, has much to do with
1t, and this explains why SO many bust
ness men and brain workers become it's
victims. Sudden changes of the wealth
cr and 'raughts of all kinds are also to
be guarded against. In word, live
temperatcIy, dress warmly, avoiding all
manner of imprdcnccs, and you need
have no fear Of pneumonia.

CHICAGO, May 5.-Thc Anarchists Of
Chicago inaugmntcd in earnest last night
the reign of lawlcssncSs which they have
threatened and cndcavorcd to incite for
years. They threw bomb into the
midst of a line OF 200 police officers, and
it exploded with fearful effect Almost
before the missile of death had exploded
the Anarchists directed mrdcrous fire
with rcrolvcrs upon the police, as if
their action was prcarrangcd, and as tho
latter were hemmcd in on every side
ambnscadcd- eject of the fire npon
the ranks of the officers was fearful.
When the police had recovered from tho
first shock of the attack they charged
upon their would-bc murdcrcrs, shooting
at every step and moving them down, as
their fcllow-oiliccrS had been laid low by
the bomb The Anarchists fled in dis
may before the charge The collision
between the police and the Anarchists
was brought about Ivy the leaders of the
latter August Spies, Sam Ficlden and
a. II. Parsons, cndcayorng to incite q
large mass-mccting to riot and blood
shed. From Socialistic headquarters
there issued late i'll the afternoon the fol-
lowing circular, which was distributed
throughout the laboring quarters of the
city by thousands:

Immediately Il bomb fell between the two
columns of thcpolicc and literally moved
them down. Sixty persons were

one OF whom were policemen.
Several stores were lnidcd and the en-
