CHAPTER yL-CoNTINuED.
81 did think of doing So" returned
Gerald, as he pulled at his yellow nous
tache and cordially kated the lie that
he was acting. but the fact is. Sylvan.
Clyde is so drea6fully busy, don't you
know, and-er-all that kind of thing"
Here was very lame winding-up of
what Gerald believed a sentence that
might provoke his brothers keen curl
osity. But Sylvan only let his eyelids
once more YEARLY droop and his head
sink deeper into the pillow, as he said:
And you yourself have not cared 70
study it out alone, SUPPOSE"
The question was SO liStleSSly given
that Gerald felt he could perhaps let it
safely pass without a response. He
waited little while, regarding his broth
er's blanched face as though any new in
slant might bring to it the sudden look
of inquiry which he preferred not to
see. But no such look broke Sylvan's
apathy. After short time, Gerald felt
the sick mans pulse. This act did not
alter the evident slumber into which he
had fallen. 1t was weak pulse, Ger
aid decided, and yet not abnormally so.
The young man remembered that DR..
Clyde had but recently decided Sylvan's
latest condition to be one of nervous
exhaustion, cerebral in its immediate
origin, and yet not of necessity serious.
But his first illness had been serious.
Gerald had arrived at the home of his
brother to find him the prey of BRAIN
fever which threatened his life. 1t was
a wretched shock. that meeting, and it
bore, soon afterward, what to this gen
ial young pilgrim from PARKWAY Cam
bridge proved bitter-tasting fruit.
'All zest and flavor have gone out of
my life" Sylvan soon told his brother.
The story which was presently unfolded
had the effect of tragedy divided into
acts, for it was more than once inter-
rupted by either piteous delirium or
silencing fatigue. Gerald first marveled
at the flight of Lucia. and then caught
himself sympathizing with her III the
course that she had taken. He came
across photograph of her which bore
her name and fond phrase written I'M
derneath it. Studying the face with
some attention, he grew convinced that
it betrayed in molding and lines of
feature spirit of strength and delicacy
strangely mingled. Yes, he decided,
here was just the woman to resent such
imbecility as her husband has shown
and desert him, half through loathing
and half through despair. For Gerald,
having learned from his brother pre-
cisely with what sort of opposition he
had met his wife when she desired to
carry out the wishes of the dead, stood
amazed before a confession of narrow
mindedness which past experiences
might have prepared him to receive.
At first the whole idea of an elixir"

BROTHER, YOU KNOW ME, DON'T YOU?'
tinged the memory of his father with
sad dismay. Georgina Maynard had
never succeeded in casting about the
mind of her younger son that spell of
horror for his fathers nonconformist
views which clearly had affected Sylvan
Gerald had long delighted to think of
his father as the intellectual rebel he
was darlly limited to have been. At
Cambridge the almost boyish aspirant
for future medical excellence had drawn
joyously on those wells of egotism
which youth finds furnished with such
easy buckets and smooth-running cord
age, and had told himself that his own
love for scientific inquiry sprang wholly
from the scope and acumen of that van
ished paternal mind. But now, at Syl-
vans bidding, to look upon Egbert May
nard in the light of mere thaumaturg-
list, a dabbler in those fo1lies of pseudo
chemistry which science frowned down
as fimsy sensationalism-this point of
regard brought with it disappointment
chill and keen.
But soon Gerald's feelings markedly
changed. Sylvan, throughout his
narration, had spoken as if all the old
morbid forces of his morality" were
now in a dismal state of rout. I'm
willing to grant," he said, that I've
acted with fatal self-trust. I deceived
Lucia in the burning of that counterfeit
paper because it seemed to me that by
so doing ! might scar away the sinful
longings that clutched her soul. But
now. seeing the results of my act, II
am terribly doubtful of its righteous
ness. Perhaps, after all, the Divine
will meant that this secret our father
gave me to disclose should be published
for the seeming i'll of man, as a tempta-
ton and hence a test. Between that
will and its holy object perhaps have
insolently intruded my own personal
disfavor."
Here Gerald gave feeting smile
that was instinct with melancholy
deriSion-
Good heavens" he said, you can't
think that father has really found this
vital principle of which you tell me
that his curious message breaths?"
Il don't know, | don't know came
the forlorn answer II was as skeptical
as yourself, Gerald, little while ago.
/ chiefly thought of his motive in trying
to seek such interference with the sacred
laws of life and death. Now that Lucia
has left me and | am so horribly be-
reaved by her abandonment, / feel like
resigning all claim to the hateful her
itage. Take it, scan it well with your
clearer gaze and saner mind. You
shall have it for the asking, to do with
as you please" Gerald took the manu-
script, never dreaming that he would
care TO bestow upon it more than . few
careless though regretful glances. But
In little while his eyes were riveted,
his face had begun alternately to pale
and Arsh. An hour or two afterward

The Remedy for Oklahoma Booming

Whenever public lands are opened
for settlement the question recurs: Is
there no better way-no plan that will
avoid the strife and possible conflict of
varying interests? There is a plan, and
a very simple one. If these lands were
opened subject to tax based upon
their value and coupled with exemption
from all taxes on all improvements and
personal proper, there would be no
rush and no trouble. Everyone would
then realize that occupancy could adj
vantage none but bona fde settlers, Who
would derive their benefits solely from
improvements The necessary effect,
that these lands would have little if any
value beyond enough to support an eco
nomical government. would remove the
only motive that now impels specu'S
tors and 'ssooners" to grab for all. they
can get Real settlers would peaceably
take possession of what they need for
productive purposes, and no more; and
the remainder would lie in common nm.
til later settlers appropriated it for use.

labor also arouse my sympathy, but
prior to the discussion of any social or
governmental reform, it is necessary to
have an independent place to stand up
on, and the land question forces itself
to the front.
Archimedes wanted only fulcrum
in order to move the world, and. with
the land question upon which to rest
our lever, we hope to succeed better
than the ancient mathematician. We
can have universal suffrage, but with
monopoly in land women will be ground
down by enforced poverty, and starv-
ing children will still cry for bread.
We may pass restrictive laws regarding
the sale of alcoholic drink, but while
the present land system obtains, the
crowded condition of cities will con-
tinue to breed drunkards- Labor may
in its desperation organize to revenge
its wrongs by strikes and boycotts, but
they are powerless while the usurpa-
ton of landlords extracts the product
of their industry through rent

The Laughing Plant.

The laughing plant grows in Arabia, and according to The Medical Times, is SO call ed by reason of the effect produced upon those who eat it's seeds. The plant is of moderate size, with bright yellow flowers, and soft, velvety seedpods, each of which contains two or three seeds resembling black beans. The natives of the district where the plant grows dry these seeds and reduce them to powder. A dose of this powder has similar effects to those arising from the inhalation of laughing gas. It causes the most sober person to dance, shout and laugh with the boisterous ex- citement of madman, and to rush about cutting the most ridiculous capers for about an hour. At the expiration of this time exhaustion sets in, and the excited person falls asleep, to awake after several hours with no recollection of his antics.

Another Use for Iron Tubes,

A new use has been found for tubes pro- duced by the Mannesmann process, says the London Ironmonger. At the funeral of Count von Moltke the troops were equipped for the first time with lances, the shafts of which, instead of being wood, as usual, were formed of very thin steel tubing, made at the Mannesmann works. The tubes are, it is said, actually lighter than wood while at the same time posses sing much greater elasticity and strength. The only drawback appears to be less se- cure grip which the metal surface offers as compared with wood

To Temper a Spring.

The country watchmaker more than his city confrere is called upon to temper soft spring. This, explains The Astrological Review, can be done by preparing a lead bath, thatis, quantity of lead in an iron pot, raising it to sucn heat that the lead is red. Into this plunge the spring, and keep it in for sufficient length of time; then when hot enough quickly plunge into cold water or lard oil It is necessary next to give it the right temper, which is done by dipping the spring into small vessel of boiling linseed oil for few seconds and then into cold oil.

A serious fire occurred Wednesday
morning, on the farm tenanted by Robert
A. Jackson, in Elk Neck, situated d.
rectiy on the Elk river, five miles dis
tant from Elkton, and formerly known
as the Gladding property, but which is
now owned by Mrs. Hannah Wyckoff, of
Trenton, N. ].
A large barn and granary, containing
400 bushels of wheat, 200 bushels OF
oats, GO tons of hay and straw, also
farming implements and two small out
buildings, were totally destroyed.
The fire started in hay NOW, about
ten O'Clock and was beyond control when
discovered by the family who were
absent from the house at the time the
fire caught.
The flying sparks threatened the resi-
dence, which through strenuous work
was saved. The buildings were insured
for $1,000 in the Cecil Mutua! Company,
but Mr.. Jackson loses his whole, crop,
valued at about 81, 275.

A Plan to BOYcOt.

Some time since, there was a strike of the
union quarrymen, at McClenahan Bros,
plant at Port Deposit, and which has con-
tinued up to the present day.
The firm now employs non-union men,
which has melted the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, through its executive board
and president, Samuel Gompers, to issue an
open letter to all labor organizations, ask
ing them to assist the National Quarry
mems Union in forcing the stone cut by
McClenahap Brothers, of Port Deposit, Md ,
out of the market.
The BALTIMORE Federation of Labor has
been assisting the Port Deposit union men,
The Bricklayers' Union has also decided
not to work on any building on which the
stone turned out by the non-union men at
Port Deposit is used. The National Quar-
rymen's Associ l ton has also resolved 10
assist the striking quarrymen at Port De
posit.
This action of course was taken as "a mean:
of Strengthening he position of the working
men, and which is a very decided opposi
ton to McClenahan Brothers.

bled at the fire on Friday last, for their
faithful and effective labors in saving our
property from destruction. What threat
ened US with serious calamity was kept
by their prompt and intelligent action

loss. Where 80 many are entitled to the
highest need of praise, to individualizs
would be invidious;-but while making
fitting acknowledgment ts to the brave and
sturdy men, who expended their strength
IL doing us good service, l must not fail to

some of them mere lads-who fairly EN-.
ulated their seniors in the pluck and energy
they exhibited, and the substantial help
they rendered.

of kindness in the same spirit of reciprocal
good will that has always characterized
our intercourse; and in return l pledge tC
them anew my enduring esteem ard
