SAVED.

Beatrice Mercer drew nearer to the
half-open door, as those ominous words
sounded forth:
Unless those documents are sup
pressed or destroyed, l am a ruined
man
A strong man spoke them, but the
voice, while mournful, bore token Of
pleading, dcspairins agony.
The listener knew that the speaker
was the father of Raymond Marshall.
What she already knew of his business
IMPLICATIONS had brought her to Hope
dale. 1t was through the father that
she relied upon reaching the son.
There was the rustling of papers, and
then the lawyers voice reached her
ears
Il am very sorry, Colonel Marshall,
but | have my orders to act.
You can defer action.
Il would violate my duty to my eli
ents if l deferred it day longer"
"Then--"
Tomorrow go into court and sub
nit these document They represent a
personal Indebtedness of $4,000 They
represent your Endorsement for s. ,00C
more. The distressing feature of the
latter amount is that the alleged maker
of the note denies its validity. In other
words, it is forgery
| A groan rang from the lips of the un-
happy man,
You are right" he murmured in a
hollow, broken tone of deep despair.
My personal indeb tedness does not wor-
ry me- l should never have been called
upon to bear it. for l never personally

If that two-thousand-dollar claim is
presented in court
You will be accused of forgery.

If you want the best food, you will be interested
in the following facts, which show why Royal"
is the best baking powder, why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal-its sale greater IN tins
country than the sale of all other cream OF tartar
baking powders combined.
The ROYAL Baking Powder NEVER fails.
1t is absolutely pure and wholesome.
It is combined from the most approved
and healthful ingredients.
1t makes the finest favored, most tender,
delicious and wholesome food.
1t has greater leavening strength than
any other baking powder, and is therefore
the cheapest.
1t never loses its strength, but will keep
fresh and of full leavening power until
used.
1t acts slowly in the dough, so that none
of it's strength is lost before the baking is
completed.
1t makes food that will keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, or that may be eaten hot
and fresh with impunity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superor to all Others in these respects are easily
stated One is because it IS made from chemically
pure Materials another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t Is
always uniform in composition and leavenlng
mower. 1t has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and con-
ductOr of it's business ever since is still at
the head of its management. Thus all the

PLOTTERS IN COUNCIL.

The false Alice Ralston, the real
Beatrice Mercer, went straight to Hope
dale after leaving the home where she
had found father and fortune.
She took no risks in her movements
Ralston did not know of her destination

Hopedale Institution through the years
Rodney, the man who had died at the
bridge, his friend, his advisor. had the
sole charge of placing the real Edna at
the seminary, for, as Beatrice knew,
when father and daughter had parted
years before the former was a fugitive
from justice.
She had told the anxious Ralston that
she would return speedily. She had
secured a large sum of money. She
made sure that no one followed her to
the train. To break any possible trail
she changed cars at large city midway
to Hopedal e and made several myterious
purchases at Il costumer'S and at hair
drssSer'S shop.
When the next morning Beatrice
Mercer alighted from a sleeper on the
train at the nearest railroad town 10

home, her best friend would not have

Moorish Locusts Feed Man and Beast


The British ooneul at Mogador, while
on an excursion inland, about day s
journey from Mogador. met flights of
locusts. He says 1t was an astonishing
and interesting though painful sight,
the air being in some parts SO thick
with them that they formed dense liv-
ing brown fog, through which he could
hardly find his way, while they SO COM
pletely covered the ground that the ut
most caution was necessary in walking,
as he could not tell whether be was
treading on soft sand, hard, slippery
rock or what.
Many birds Toasted on the insects, in
Guiding large flights of gulls from the
sea, and beasts evidently enjoy their
share, for in the middle Of the densest
swarm he saw fine red fox dancing
about in the most frantic manner, leap
ing and swapping up dozens of locusts
in the air, until, seeing the stranger, he
suddenly dropped on all tours and quick
ly vanished in the live fog. Not only did
the barbel get their share of the novel
food (the consul used the locusts sue
cessfully as bait for them) but some of
the fish of the Atlantic were found
gorged with locusts which had been
blown off the land by easterly winds.
AS usual, they were extensively eaten
by the native population, both Moham-
medan and Jewish.

She Wants to Marry.

The secretary of the interior to-day
received a letter addressed "Uncle
SAM" and its contents provoked much
amusement. The correspondent was q
widow from little town in Ohio. She
said she had lived widow for thirty
years, and at her age found it too lonely:
Therefore, she asked whether he would
not put plan into her pension certiti-
cate that would enable her and any
other widow who had lived single since
1862 to marry and at the same time keep
her pension She added that she was
too old, plain and poor to get man
able to support her as we'll as her pen
sion could. and consequen oily must take
such as she could get. She concluded
by asking that the secretary give the
matter prompt attention, under the
threat that she will weary him with
many more such" if he does not. Gen.
Noble was ungallant enough to conslgn
the letter to the public waste basket

MORN At NAZARETH


l think see Him now at morn
Before the burst of sudden DAY,
Above the silver fields of corn,
Where He has gone apart to pray
/ think / see Him looking thong hful down
Behind the corn beyond the waking town.
Beyond the silver'd mists that rise
From all night toiling in the corn.
The mists have duties up the skies.
The skies nave duties down the morn.
While all the world is full of honest care
To make the fair world still more wondrous
fair
More lordly fair: tie stately morn
Moves down her walks of golden wheat
Her guards of homer gild the corn.
In golden pathway for Gods feel:
Her purpled hills she crowns in crowns OF kold,
And majesty before the Lord is rolled!
