 But where is our dear old friend, Mir. WilcoX?" asked Percy, who listened with surprise to these words
 Do you not know?" said Mrs. Delaro, opening her eyes with astonishment
 "No." replied Percy. 'I stayed only a short time in New York, and the peo- pie at the house said he had accompa- nicd you"

about all that had tranSpired during hts long absence, while Leon Nelasquoz and his dupe languishCd in prison. In due course tho accused man wai brought rp for an examination. Mrs. Delar1 Tn ' firm voice related the his tory of the murder and sworc to the identity of the prisoner. So positive and straightforward did her evidence seem that it appeared hardly necessary to call Percy Lovel. Still he was placed of hls adventure in South America. + also told about tho final clew of the sll- ver-charm which had satisfied him as to the identity of the prisoner, and in a few moments tho presiding magistrate committed Nelasquez to jail to await the arrival of his extradition papers
 The same day Eugene Bregy was brought up at another London police court and, despite the efforts of the law yer employed to defend him, he was sent to jail for a short time.
 All this time his anxious mother was expecting news of him at Nice, where she at last grew tired of waiting and came to London. The first place she went to was the address which Armida had given her. While Armida gladly welcomed the poor woman, it was with a sorrowtul heart that they told her the story of the last few days. But Mr. Emerick is in New York;" she said. He told me he was going there"
 Then he did it to mislead you," said Armida, flor he is now in jail awaiting removal to America to be tried on a charge of murder"
 What! my husband a murderer?" cried the poor woman.
 Why, you surely said he was not your husband?" said Mrs Delaro.
 But he is. He told me so, and he has got all my money" said the now dis tracted woman.
 Mrs. Delaro was immediately struck with an idea. "Ah, he has deluded you into believing it in order to rob you of your fortune" she said.
 "No, no!' cried Mrs. Bregy. 'He is my husband, my Alphonse, and must go and see him."
 To pacify the woman carriage was procured and she was taken to the jail where Leon Velasquez was confined.
 He was brought into the cage to see her and she at once approached him "Alphonse, they say you are not my husband. But it is not true, is it?"
 "I am not your husband, and never have been," he said, in almost indis- tinct tones.
 Then why did you say you were?" she said.
 II wanted your money" was the cool rejoinder. He knew his end was near and he mercifully set the poor woman's mind at rest But she had to be carried out of the room in a swoon.

CHAPTER XXI

"Tis not my will that evil be immor- tai" It is we'll for us that, while on this earth every thing good and beauti- tui is short-hved, passing speedily away. evil and wrong are also but question of time, and have their end. "All things come to him who will wait"
 Leon Velasquez's power of evil had spread itself over long and busy life- time-had held full sway from the day he had entered his teens until his hair was turning gray. With the exception of the few years when he posed as an honest merchant, his active mind had always been bent on evil. He had caused the innocent to suffer for the guilty; had robbed men of the hard earned accumulations of years, and Nomen of their virtue; had stained his

A TIMERS DAM.
Did the Expression Come from India,

Did the Expression Come from India,
Turkey or Portugal.
A great nan people believe that this
expression comes from the dam of putty
or clay that a tinker uses to restrain his
molten metal from overlooking, and
which is thrown away when his work is
completed.
This is altogether an error. "a Think
er's Dam is equivalent to the expression,
"a Continental damn" The latter ex-
preston arose when Continental money
had become so utterly worthless towards
the end of the Revolution as the Confed-
crate notes did at the end of the civil war.
In a classical Dictionary of The Vulgar
Tongue, London. 1906, a dam is defined
as a small Indian coin, mentioned in the
GentOo cod OF laws; hence the etymoio-
gists may, II they please, derive the COM
mon expression, i do not care q damn l..
e., / do not care q farthing for it," And
a dam Is the smallest Hindu coin in cir
culation, like a Turkish paper piastre or
a Portuguese milreis, the one-Jhousandth
part of q dollar, or a French centime, one
fifth of IL sou, used in making up ac-
counts, but a coin rarely. If ever, seen in
circulation. A Hindu Tinker is a Pariah,
the lowest caste, an outcast. For a higher
class to touch what a Pariah has touched
is pollution, consequently a Thinkers
Dam" is q monetary token almost value
less in itself, and utterly worthless by be-
ing polluted in passing through a Tink-
er's or Pariah's hands. -AmericGn Notes

MARRIAGE AND THE STATE.
The Latter Should Simply Guard the
Right of the CONTRACTING Parties.

The Latter Should Simply Guard the
Rights of the Contracting Parties.
To the State marriage is a civil contract
between a man Il q woman. 1t can be
nothing else or more than that. And the
only interest of the State, as State, is that
all the rights ana duties involved in a
civil contract shall be maintained, to the
end of public order. The moment that it
attempts anything beyond this, it is q
trespasser on personal rights and works
only mischief. 1t is hardly matter for
dispute that those who have claimed to
be acting for GOO. in political matters, in
the past, have been authors of cruelty and
injustice.
Most writers on divorce reform" as
sumo that the one great end to be aimed
at is to prevent divorce by any and all
means. Their highest, their one ideal,
seems to be to keep people tied together
Without regard to consequences.
But it is not a question OF The ideal. 1t
is as to what the State has a right TO DO
under present actual conditions. Men
should seek the ideal in all departments
of life, not in marriage only. But should
the State decide Oh what that ideal is,
and enforce it always by pains and pen
~altiesl Is this not rather a matter for
school and church and individual striv-
ing? 1t is not the right and duty of the
State to force people either to marry or 10
stay married. Neither of these is the
end so far as State jurisdiction Is rom
cerned. 1t Is for the State simply to guard
the rights of the individual parties to this
contract, precisely as in the case of any
other.-Reu. M. J, Savage IN Septe nlber

The oldest, as well as one OF the
most honored, of the various sorts of
art work is that of ceramics, or the
art of pottery. The turning Of the
potter's wheel to fashion rounded YES
sells dates back to a very remote pc
Rod of history.
From making shapes suited to prac-
tical daily uses, beauty of form and
fine finish came also to be considered
important as the idea of making vases
and jugs for ornament as well as use
grew in favor.
Next came the desire to find a ma
terial which should be SO strong that
vessels made of it would not break
easily, and which would be capable of
taking on a glaze or polish which
would add TO the beauty of the YES
sells, and make it easy to keep them
clean and bright. Also it was desira-
bic to prevent, If possible, the break
ing off or crumbling of fine particles
when the vessels were filled with
water, as that was a defect of the soft
and porous terra Gotta.
The eager search after such material
resulted in the vessels of glazed clay,
in the manufacture of which the Ital-
ian city of FaenZa acquired great
fame. insomuch as the name OF
Faience ware Is at the present day
generally applied to many kinds Of
e~arthenware and porcelain vessels.
1t is probable that the skilled arti-
sans of the Asiatic tribes knew and
practiced this art of manufacturing
glazed clay many centuries before the
FlOrentine workman and artist, Luca
Della Robbia, at the end of the Eff
teenth century, manufactured the
superior white enamel with which he
overlaid his beautiful vases. Through
his improvements it came about that
the large factories in Faenza for the
making OF pottery learned to glaze or
enamel their vases in a similar way

a Slight Mistake in Numbers.

Wv 80
A rather amusing illustration of the
eagerness of women shoppers for bar
gains was witnessed in a Brooklyn
store recently. In the Sunday papers
an advertisement of a sale of silks was
printed which was intended to an
nounce that they would be sold at
fifty cents per yard, the original price
being 81. Through some typograph-
ical inadvertence the advertisement
read that the silks would be sold at
five cents a yard, instead of fifty.
The women in Brooklyn spent a rest
less Sunday night for fear they would
not waken early in the morning to
take advantage of the generous offer.
Ono lady cautioned her husband to
call her early, and murInured as she
drifted into dreamland.-"Ill buy
two pieces of that silk; twill be so
nice for Innings" Early the next day,
before the clerks of that department
arrived, the women stood in line wait
ing grimly for the opening of the sale.
The different expressions of disgust,
disappointment and modification on
their faces may be better imagined
than described as they turned and
filed out of the store again, leaving
the embarrassed salesman alone with
his confusion and his bargains.

reverence for antiquity and inherited
rights shown by this custom of wear
ing an ancient ancestral crown, but
it need not be supposed that any
monarch really liked it. No matter
how carefully a. king might have his
fathers crown secured and repaired,
he always felt that he was wearing
another mans clothes, so to speak.
AS for Queen Victoria, it is well
known that she ordered IN entire new
set OF crowns when she came to the
throne, remarking as she gave the
order that she had as much affection
for some of her relatives as anybody
need have, but as for wearing any

Monarchs ana Their Crowns.

Many years ago it was the correct
thing for a monarch to wear the iden-
tical crown worn by his predecessors. A
king v was formally crowned on
the day when he succeeded to the
throne, but the ceremony was always
postponed for a week or two in order
to have the crown thoroughly
waited. But there is no doubt that
the custom of handing down the same
crown from generation to generation
had its disadvantages. In the first
place, it rarely happens that two
kings have heads OF precisely the
same size, and as a rule the crown
which fitted the original king for
whom it was made never fitted any of
his successors, but was always either
too large or too small. Nothing
looks more absurd than a very
small crown cooked on the head of a
very large king, except perhaps, a
crown which is much too large for the
and continually falls over his
ears. There was it is true. a certain
