Enoch Broadhurst inquired OF Tom
Peters tenant a minute later. Broad
hurst witnessed the scene but did not
understand it. The fiery tenant rehearsed
all that passed.
"You are not aware his uncle is dy-
ing?"
SIs Tom Peters dying? Then God help
any of his tenants that have dealings with
Giles BrockleI"
81 am inclined to agree with you, said
Broadhurst. "There never we're two men
more unlike than Tom Peters, as honest
q man as ever lived, and Giles Brockle. "
AS bag o sneak and rascal as ever
lived, in my opinion" said Tom Peters
tenant.
By nightfall half the male survivors in
Johnstown knew that Tom Peters was on
his death-bed, and that Giles Brockle
would inherit all his possessions. The
physicians who were called in when he
was seized were in demand everywhere.
There was work for scores that livelong
day Spite of their labors, they were
able to corroborate the report that in all
probability Tom Peters would never set
foot in Johnstown again.
Squire Jepson and Tom Peters were very
intimate-"whet one knew the other knew"
Broadhurst added. This matter must
be determinedspeedily. Brockle is acting
like man who is not going to lose any
time asserting his rights. He is taking il
upon himself to protect the property as if
it we're his own.
Then Broadhurst related all that oc-

Tom Jerrold replied. We'll, then all the
more reason for giving Giles plenty Of

The death of the richest man in the
county was matter that did not concern
them. Tom Peters was never ruined
indeed, only those Immediately concerned
and connected with him gave the rich man
lying out on the moantain slope, in his
large empty house, thought.
There were matters of much more i'm
portance requiring attention.

denim it as useless. There is no better
remedy for promoting the growth of
the hair than this old-styled one. To
cleanse the scalp use the yelk of an
egg beaten in very little water. Rub
it well into the scalp and let dry.
Rinse in lukewarm water, to which has
been added a few drops of ammonia.
Ammonia is good invigorator when
only little of it is used in water; but
beware of using much, or it may in
flame the scalp and do more harm than
good. A very little borax in water is
also excellent for cleansing the head,
but ought to be used as carefully as
ammonia, as too much has tendency
to make the hair dry and brittle. Soap
will make the hair coarse and split it
at the ends, consequently it ought
never be used in washing the
hair. After the hair has been
washed and rinsed, wipe it as
dry as possible with towel, then
dry it thoroughly by the fire. Never
on any consideration go out into the
air when the hair is wet, as, the pores
of the head being open, serious results
may follow. Never go to bed while the
hair is damp, but wait until it is per-
fectly dry. Never use sharp-toothed
comb, for it is sure to scratch and irri-
tate the scalp; and for this same rea-
son metallic brushes are not to be rec
commended.
There is nothing that will improve
the hair like brushing. Use stiff
bristled brush, and brush the hair vig-
orously until the scalp glows. Ayig-
orous use of the brush night and morn
ing, but more especially at night, will
render the hair soft and silky and give
it beautiful gloss. It will also make

the coarsest hair soft and the dryest
hair moist. The hair should always
be taken down at night, no matter how
elaborately it has been dressed, and
given thorough brushing, then parted
behind and plated into two long
braids, which may be left loose, or Il
annoying, as it is to some TO have their
hair down at night when sleeping, they
can be fastened in a loose mat at the
back of the head with rubber hairpins.

CHAPTER X.


When Rose Somers sank beneath the
flood, her last thought was that fate had
ordained she and her husband should die
together.
She felt the surging waters closing
around her, and surrendered herself to
death without struggle. Then she be-
came unconscious.
When dimly conscious of life again,
she suffered indescribable agony. A
mountain of waters was pressing her
downward. Pains racked her back, her
neck. Her limbs seemed to be torn from
her. In her agony she moaned. Then q
voice sounded in her ears. The voice
was like the roll Of thunder--it filed all
space. Death was, indeed, horrible.
Could anything mortal endure it? Then
she became unconscious again.
Her next sensation was one Of exquis-
ite relief. She had passed the boundary
line. She was in heaven. There was no
pain. No weight. No feeling such as
she experienced in the other world. She
knew that she existsd-further she knew
nothing, cared for nothing,
She is breathing more naturally now.
See"
Rose opened her eyes. An old man
was looking at her. She moved her
eyes. "A woman stood with her back to
her. The woman turned that instant, and
advanced to her.
Don't speak. Lie quiet. Sleep, if
you want to. You are with friends"
Human nature is puzzle. Rose Som
ers burst into tears.
"There-there, my dear" said the old
man, you will be well soon. You are

Poor Rose. She was crying because
she was brought back to life, while her
in heaven. But she closed her eyes again
in delicious languor, and instantly fell
sound asleep.
When she woke again there was only
the woman near her. There was dim
light-the light issued from small lamp.
Rose Somers looked around her Curl
ously. Yes, she was in some sort of o
house. 1t was o log house. She could
just make out that the spaces between the
logs were "chinked." The floor was made
of very broad boards. There was no sign
of q carpet or rug.
She was lying on bed. There was

WIZARDS BOLD PLAN.
An Attempt to Consolidate All the
Edison COMPANIES

NEW YORK, March 21.-The World
says: "The great scheme of Henry
Willard, whereby all the Edison electric
companies were to he consolidated into
one gigantic concern, is reported to have
collapsed. A few weeks ago company
with an authorized capital of S12, 0G0,O00
was chartered by the state of New Jer-
sey. The purpose of this corporation
was. to consolidate the four separate Or
CARNATIONS which have hitherto divided
the business of manufacturing and sell
ing the Edison electric light APP
planes. Henry Willard under
took to accomplish this reorgani-
cation and to obtain from his German
friends several millions of new capital.
DreXel, Morgan d Co., and Winslow,
Lanier & Co. nave for long time been
the principal bankers of the Edison
companies, and Mr.. Wizards plan was
to form syndicate by adding to the
number of those prominent American
bankers the Deutsche bank and Sic
mans & Holske, of Berlin, and Stern.
of Frankfort. This arrangement at one
time seemed ON the point of couple
ton, but, for some reason or other, it
is averred that Mr.. Willard has been
unable to bring it about in the manner
desired. An appeal is now being made
by him to American capitalists to come
to the rescue.

Cec.aa 1 err the minneapolis member of the

day in searching the street for new
location. Samuel Peek, the owner of
the present building occupied by the
museum, through his agent, DR.. Lind
ley, remains firm in his resolutions not
to leng' hen the time of the lease, which
expires about the 1st of May. The
gentleman seems to have determined
that Sunday exhibition shall no longer
occur IN his building. So it is abso-
lutely necessary that the show men find
new location. The difficulty which
they are realizing in finding suitable
building seems quite remarkable, and
there proves to be more property
owners with scruples against the Sunday
show in the city than was ever sur
missed. The attempts to secure tile
building just vacated by the Plymouth
clothing store and the building which
contains Knoblauch's shoe store and
GrOnauer'S cigar store. on Washington
avenue south. between Nicollet avenue
and First avenue, have both been fruit
less. They have looked at the
large building that has so long
stood vacant on Washington av-
enue south. between First and
Second avenue, and it is said they can
have the use of II if they decide to take
it, but it does not seem to suit their
fancy. 1t Is understood that they de-
sire location on Nicollet avenue, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets, but it
is very doubtful if they will obtain it.
In order to draw the paying
crowds which it now entertains
it must be situated in some
cenral locality. The requirements
of their needs makes it quite difficult to
find suitable building il they could
get the one they wanted when it was
found. as they must have building
wide enough for t stage floors, and
must have, besides, two floors for eX-
hibits.

that there was possibility of the pro-

OF WORLD WIDE INTEREST.
The Act Declaring Behring Sea a
Closed Sea.

SiOScu sea-
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The presi-
dent will soon issue proclamation rel
alive to Behring sea, which cannot fail
to attract international attention. This
proclamation will be the first informa-
ton which most people have that, in
the closing hours of the last congress-
an amendment was incorporated in the
inter-territorial salmon fishing act, which
in effect declares that the Behring sea
is closed sea. By this legislative en-
actment, congress has attempted to set
tie grave point over which the nations
have contended. The amendment in its
term extends the provisions of the
salmon fishing act to seal fishing in
Behring sea. That is to say, the act
fOrbids the taking of seal by any one not
authorized by the act within the water
OF Behring sea, and does not exclude
them merely from fishing ON certain
islands. The amendment is, of course,
of the greatest Importance to the Alaska
Fur Seal company. as it will preserve
the seal fisheries for them. 1t is also of
great Importance to the American and
Canadian fishermen who may have been
planning to engage in seal fishing in the
open waters of the Behring sea this
season, as so many of the Canadian YES
sells did last season. The act authorizes
States revenue cutters. The prOclama-
ton of the president will call attention
to this fact. The act may give rise to
important international complications.
1t is an attempt by legislative enactment
to settle an international which
the great powers may consider still an
open one.
