Il So he went to see Lucien. Noirville was in
his room. and it was Julia who came to meet

More dazzling than before, prouder and more

Grew soft and womanly in his presence.
Roger bowed in respectful silence, not even
HReripg his hand.
Roger! Rogerl" she said. "How. much l
have thought of you. How much I have
aiffered"
She checked herself suddenly at the express
sion Of unutterable horror depicted on his
face. Then he spoke:
Julia, we must bury the past, and may God
pardon us. am the friend, the brother OF
Lncien. Do you understand"
z, And while she shrunk back suppressing her
hearts cry for its breaking agony, he wentin
to Lucien. He was lying on n lounge, pale,
thin, unrecognizabe and almost without
breath. His beard had grown. Two wooden
legs had been adapted to his manned limbs.
When he saw Roger his face lighted up, and
his eyes filed with tears, and the men en-
1raced with full hearts.
= slh what state you find me, Roger" said
Lucien, showing his wooden legs. "Dr.
Champeaux told me all, and without you
should not be here today, but after all what
a poor service it was" He sighed heavily,
then said: "But l am very ungrateful. If
had died what would have become Of Julia
and my children? Alive, even if I cannot
plead longer, can at least have an office for
consultation, and thus assure them their
bread"
When Roger, seeing how weak he was,
wished to retire, Lucien opposed and bade
servant Gull his wife, and she came.
, "Here is Roger Laroque, whom we have met
as friends before the war. I saved his life;
he saved mine. love him like brother.
Our families from henceforth, hope, will be
but one" Julia bowed without answering.
When Roger left she accompanied him, and
at the moment he was about to open the outer
door she seized his arm with an iron grasp.
"So," she said, "you have not one word for
me?'
He pointed silently toward the room where
Lucien lay, then said:

"Roger! Roger!"
"But," he continued, with profound sad

"NO MANS LAND"

A few days ago a man who claim
ed to have been elected delegate to
Congress from the territory of Cimar-
ron, applied for admission to the
House, but he was promptly turned
away by the adoption of motion
laying his certificate of election and
other papers indefinitely on the ta-
BILE. This section of land will be
found under this name in the older
maps. 1t is the disputed strip Of
country north of the panhandle of
Texas, whose inhabitants recently
held a convention and elected Off
GERS. The name is derived from the
largest river which flows through the
proposed territory. This land ap-
pears on the maps at the interior de-
partment as "public lands" 1t isl a
parallelogram 80 miles wide, larger
than the State of Delaware and near
ly as large as New Jersey. 1t is
bounded on the north by Coloradoand
Kansas, on the east by Indian terri
tory, on the south by Texas, on the
west by New Mexico. The Cirnar-
ron river rises near it's northwestern
boundary and empties into the Ar
kansas in the Indian Territory.
Cimarron territory came into the
possession Of the United States in
1919, under what is known as the
Florida treaty with Spain, by which
treaty we secured Florida and lost
Texas. The proposed territory of
Cimarron is the most symmetrical
division of the United States. Not
far to the south of it, in Texas and
New Mexico, is the high table land
know as Llano Estacado, or ''staked
plains," which forms the eastern base
of the Rock Mountains and rises to
a height of over 1000 feet.
The Cherokees have set upa claim
to No Mans Land. It is based on
treaties of 1928 and 1880 and patent
of 1929 signed by President Van Bu-
rem. 1t is alleged that the title has
never lapsed, and that it is as clear
as that which holds the territory
around Talequah.

DANGEROUS AMATEUR RENE
DIEs.-Purgatives are bane. The
most dangerous of all are salts and
castor oil. A great quantity of either
can be bought for very little money,
and this cheapness is at the bottom
of many of our physical wrecks
among the poor. The most potent
breaker up of constitutions is the
seidlitz powder. It is the pleasant
est to the palate after one has once
accustomed himself to the smother
ing sensation, and is so handy to have
boxful in the bedroom. That box
is Pandora's. Unless used with mod
Grafton, the seidlitz powder is Woe
full weakener of the human system,
and paves the way for almost every
known i'll. Especially the aged
should never touch it or rochelle
salts or castor oil, unless with the ap-
proval Of a physician. Above all,
there should be an operative moral
law against women, who so banker
for the chance to play doctor outside
of their own families, recommending
purges to the sick of their own sex.
These amateur remedies have COM
plicated the work of the regular ply
sician in thousands of cases, and
have often been the remote cause of
death.-NeU York Times.

UARlT 0E EARLY RISING.

early rising,". DR.. Selden said,
"was one of the surest means by
which insanity is acquired" He
said this habit was originally formed
or forced by our Puritan forefathers
in New England. Probably many
of us can rememember the rude
shocks by which we were awakened
when youngsters early in the morn
ing; and before our brains and bod
les were sufficiently recuperated by
sleep from the exhaustions and eX-
element of the previous day.
"SOme of us can remember that
rousing old command, "Get up now,
right away, or you can't have any
breakfast" There was command,
coupled with threat, and applied in
such a manner as to kindle in the
heart of the sleeping lion (or rather
boy) the fierce fires of a stubborn
resistance. The inalienable rights
of growing boyhood had been in
vaded, and the hot, burning passion
of anger was excited in the heart Of
the boy at the very outset of another
days experience. When reused
from sleep by such a startling injuc-
ton, the boyish victim remained
"as mad as a March hare" all day.
\ peremptory command to get up
when ones sleep is as yet unfinished
is a command which grinds the soul,
curdles the blood, swells the spleen,
upsets all good intentions, and dis
turbS for an entire day the mental
activities of boy, just as tornado
disturbs and levels with advancing
ruin a forest of mighty pines.
"Another habit, but a less perni-
cious one, is that Of rising too late in
the morning, while still another
habit tending to bring on insanity is
the habit of rousing ones self sud-
denly after a long nights sleep. At
ter the brain has been in an anGmic
condition for several hours, and af-
ter the mental processes have been
practically suspended during that
period, the resumption of mental ac-
tivity should be very gradual. y
person who wakens suddenly, shakes
himself and jumps out of bed as if he
was struck by lightning, will certain
ly injure his own brain if he con-
tinues that habit for a sufficient
length of time. The sudden filling
of the blood vessels by too sharp ac-
tivity after walking, will in time
produce relaxation, or possibly rup-
ture, in the walls Of the cerebral
vessels. A person should waken
himself slowly, and should rest
short time after the waking, indulg-
ing in some light, genial mental op-

normal activity the brain forces be-
fore he rises from the recumbent
position.

lrors threatening TO 60 to Luclen, ana on the
other hand his righteous anger and his thread
of public separation. It was years befors
this that she had met Roger Laroque, then
little moro than boy, and she had loved him
with such ardor that she forgot everything
else-Lucen, children, the world and ever
her luxurious toilettes, and her debts as we'll
Lucien de Noirville was one of the busiest
lawyers of Paris, and Julia had, therefore, q
complete liberty, and frequently went to
amusements and in society alone, and there
met Laroque, who was barely known to
Lucien, as they had met but once or twice in
company.
But this last interview with Lucien on the
subject of the debts, of which he knew az
yet nothing, was the cause of Roger La
roaue's reception of letter from julia asking
for an important interview, at one or the
great stores in the Louvre, at 2 o'clock. AL
ready the chain hung heavy on Roger, who
now abscnted himself all he possibly could
from his wife, so greatly he feared that she
might divine something Of his old relations
with Julia. Julias letter was so pressing
that hc did not dare to disregard it, and he
went to the place designated, where he found
her prey to poignant anxiety.
"Roger," said she, "if you do not save me

Guerrier was the only one who embraced
him.
"This accusation is ridiculous" said be,
consolingly. "You will justify yourself
easily"
Laroque smiled, though he had no faith in
establishing his innocence. In the courtyard
were gathered all the workmen, and the word
passed like wildfire, ''The patron is arrested"
Larooue walked between the two detectives,
who held his arms His men adored him for
his uniform justice, kindness and upright
character In one moment they were sur
rounded by these strong workmen, and La
rogue would have had to make but sign to
be free Lienard understood this, and ex-
perienced a moments uneasiness.
"Be calm, my children" said Roger, "and
leave u.s. am the victim of some mistake,
and tonight, or at least tomorrow, 1 shall be
here. Do not be uneasy about your pay,
which you will receive tonight from your
foreman"
The busy fabric was still, for it was the
dinner hour, and Roger turned at the gate
and looked back at the building with heart

he. And leaning from the carriage he looked
back at the dusty windows with aching eyes.
a. During the return voyage to Versailles,
which he made between the two detectives,
he thought of nothing but his wife and child.
When the train passed before Vile d'Avray
his heart swelled. There but few steps from
him were the two cherished loves of his life,
and as the windows of the car were lowered
on account of the heat he had a sort of hallu.
cination, he was so far from the TRUTH
He imagined he heard the silvery voice Of
Suzanne, while she ran gayly among the
flowers Then he closed his eyes and wept in
silence.
Roger Laroque had married Henriette, the
only child of George Bernardo, proprietor of
the machine works at Rue Saint Maur. His
marriage with Henriette was the occasion Of
his being taken into partnership with his
father-in-law, who was in poor health. And
soon the death Of N. Bernardo made him sole
master of the great works. 1t was not great
fortune, but perhaps was the means of future
wealth, but it was proof of his probity ana
honor that Henriette's father should have lefs
it to him.
Roger was young and strong. He had
great confidence in himself, and instead OF
going along in the same old way lie extended
the business, enlarged the shops and looked
about for new openings. As he did not possess
the machinery necessary to carry out his ne"
plans, he accepted from an old friend of his
fathers, Celestin Vaubernon, an old machine
ist like himself, a loan of 10000 francs,
which enabled him to get new and improved
machinery to fill the new orders he received,
and augmenting thus the productive power
of the house gave it new life and vigor. Ho
had faith in the future, and indeed the two
following years were very profitable.

The FIRST BAYONET.-That very
formidable weapon, the bayonet, is
said to have derived its name from
the fact that it was first made at
Bayonne, and its origin illustrates
the proverb Necessity is the moth
er of invention.' A Basque regi-
ment was hard pressed by the enemy
on a mountain ridge near Bayonne.
One Of the soldiers suggested that, as
their ammunition was exhausted,
they should fix their long knives in
to the barrels of their muskets. The
suggestion was acted upon. The first
bayonet charge was made, and the
victory of the Basques led to the
manufacture of the weapon at Bay
onne and its adoption into the ar
mics of Europe.

THE TAN LEVY.-One of the most
notable events of the last session of
the Legislature occurred in the Sen
ate day or two before its adjourn
ment. The Supply Bill, as is we'll
known, originated with the Commit
tee of Ways and Means in the House
of Representatives. That committee
reported bill providing for gener-
al levy of five and a half mills for
State purposes. The bill was dis
cussed on the floor of the House at
length, and a motion to reduce the
general levy to five mills had a beg

CHAPTER V.

II swear to you, by all that hold most
precious-my wife, my child-that 1 have
told you the TRUTH" said Roger, almost stifed
by the violence Of his emotion.
SLOW can the law believe you, Laroque, if
you take away the only means possible of
proving your innocence"
"By the grace of God Let my destiny be
ACCOMPLISHED" said Roger, in firm tone,
and rising to his feet. "Arrest me- am
ready to follow you; but remember, have
nothing more to say"
"Strange obstinacy,' murmured NJ. Lie
nard. Then aloud: "Then must arrest YOU.
You wished it, and have forced me to do So"
The magistrate put his notes in order and
made Laroque sign his responses, received
the declaration of Jean Guerrier, and with
the report of the expert and the notes that
formed part of the accusation, made q packet
which was to go to Versailles to the judge
who was charged with the signing AT this
minute the clock struck 12.
"Follow me-" said Lienard
In passing through the counting room
Roger found assembled all the employees, with
Jean Guerrier, and all having preSentment
of coming trouble. They all gathered around
him.
"My friends" said Roger, II am arrested,
charged with horrible crime-murder fol-,
lowed by robbery. am going to leave you,
but be assured shall not be gone long. y
shall have soon established my innocence.
Continue in my service. Jean, leave you in
full charge. Goodby, my children"

MAKING A CONsTITUTION.-The
constitution of the United States
was the result of three months work
by a convention of thirty-nine dele
gates from the states, of which Wash
ington was president. Among the
delegates were Roger Sherman, of
Connecticut; Alexander Hamilton,
of New York; Benjamin Franklin,
of Pennsylvania; James Madison,
of Virginia, and Charles Cotesworth
Pinckney, of South Carolina. Con-
cessions were made by all hands, de-
mands were relaxed or insisted upon,
and the present constitution is the
result.

The. PHENOMENA OF SoMNAM-
BULIsM.-The phenomena of SOM
nambulism and their connection
with the nerve centres have not been
satisfactorily accounted for. They
probably depend primarily, says,
the Lancet, upon directing impulse
of sensory origin. Some of our &C.
tions often become by practice so
nearly automatic that partial sleep or
stupor does not arrest their uncon-
sciouS performance. In somnam-
bulsm the intellect and controlling
will are torpid, while the sensorimo-
tor man whom they should govern
is awake and active. AS in dreams
the Intelligent sensorium is alone
drowsily active, with possibly no.
ticeable tendency to restless move
ment, so there may be other states
of dreaming, in which the centers of
motion are stimulated to a more
powerful but unconscious action.
Partial counteractives to somnam-
bulisln may be found in throwing off
worries, and in the proper regulation

WHERE He FOOLED HIMSELF
A man dishonest enough to engage
to do work, take pay for it, and then
not do it, would be commonly sup
posed to be equal to any kind of thiev-
ing, provided the chances for discov-
cry seemed slight. But such fel-
low missed a rare chance the other
day. He took carpet from house
to clean and brought it back without
ever having opened it. The woman
who was to put it down judged by
the dirt that this was the case, but
when she found a diamond stud
among the dirt, she had the unan-
swerable testimony. A member of
the family had lost the stud six
months previous. What could be
more delicious than the expression Of
the rascal's face when confronted
with such evidence of his knavery-
and a lost opportunity ?--Boston
