A Singular Combat.

The swamps of Cypress Bayou, in the northeastern part of Texas, swarm with game, including the wild hog and the alligator. Two Texans, who went to the swamp to try their luck hunting,
 witnessed singular combat, not long ago. First they heard a chorus of grunts and squea1s, and, cautiously ap- preaching. beheld boar attacking an alligator, the saurian being nearly eight feet long. For awhile, the odds were against the boar. The alligator would lash him heavily with his tail, and two or three times narrowly missed getting the hoar's head between his great jaws.
 But the boar was both nimble and tough and soon began to worry his An- tagonist. by prancing around and mak- ing short but effective stabs on his rough hide. Finally, he planted his tus!<s just behind and little below the alligator's fore leg. inficting a fatal wound; and, following this up, soon had the saurian stretched out lifeless.
 Then he gave triumphant grunt and trotted away into the woods The hunters could have shot him, but con- cluded that it wouldn't be fair play. Golden Days

 Patent medicines differ-Ona has Teasonab ableness, another has not. One has reputAtion-another has not. One has confidence, born of success -anotlfer has only 'shopes."
 Don't take 1t for granted that all patent medicines are alike. They are not. Let the years of uninterrupted success and the tens of thousands of cured and happy men and women, place pr Pierceis Golden Medical Discovery and Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription on the side of the comparison to which they belong. And there is not state or territory, no-nor hardly a country in the world, whether it's people realize 1t or not, but have men and women in them that are happier because of their discovery and its effects.
 Think of this in health. Think of it in sickness. And then think whether you can afford to make the trial if the makers can afford to take the risk to give your money back, as they do, if they do not benefit or cure you.

CHAPTER Tx.


 Without any great effort on Arthur Dunbar's part, he was enabled to catch a glimpse of the speakers, for the seats of the porch projected beyond its con- fines, and the figures were sitting in the broad glare of the moonlight.
 One was undoubtedly Leon d'Estre- vile; the other, a dark, swarthy, for eign-looking man about forty years of age. They were conversing in the French language, with the usual reck- lessness of persons speaking their own tongue in a foreign country, but were reckoning without their host, for Arthur Dunbar understood every word they said.
 ''And you think the young American in your road2 We'll, we must get rid of him." the older man was saying. tGet rid of him, uncle! You speak like the villain in a cheap novel, No, mol Lurking and Kidnapping are things of the past, and I do not suppose you wish to try your hand at murder"
 "Bah, no! But surely you and have brains enough to allure him away.

suddenly. he became alive to the fact that others besides himself were enjoy ing the peaceful prospect. On the wooden bench of the porch beneath him, were seated persons, whose noisy discussion disturbed the flow of his thoughts. There we're two voices; one "a deep bass, the other pitched ina higher key-surely the voluble tones of Leon d'Estreville. By degrees they were less guarded in their remarks, and he could not but hear their conversation. He would have given some sign to in- dicate his presence, but the mention of his ovs" name made him hesitate to do a0

isfaction; 1t all depends upon what we can do with Dunbar.r
 ''Bahl am sure of him, uncle. He is young, he has the world before him: he is no foo"
 Then, you must stir yourself, Leon. Be up with the lark tomorrow morn ing and find his address. shouldn't be bit surprised if he didn't show up at the hotel he was stopping at ip Chert- sey."
 ''I will go there the first thing in the morning and make inquiries" the young man cried, exultant at the turn events had taken. @
 ''No, not till come up to the farm. On second thought, 1t will not do to take any steps until hisee talked mat ters over with your aunt. So, though the hours are golden, you can enjoy your beauty-sleep tomorrow morning, my nephew" Francois said, rising; land that you may have your wits about you, you had better be going, for you have Q long walk before you. Au revoir, mon enfant."
 Arthur Dunbar waited until their re- ceding footsteps died away and then crept noiselessly into his own apart ment, where he sat for full half-hour, trying to collect his distracted thoughts.
 There was evidently base conspir- acy at work, of which Miss Grahame was the victim. He knew little or noth- ing about her history, and consequent ly the allusion to Sir Harry Grahame's existence failed to arouse his interest. All he could make of it was that Kate, who he had been told by Leon was de- pendent on Miss Balderstone's bounty, was heiress to a large fortune, of which fact she and her friends were ignorant; that Mile. Campignon, the swarthy stranger, and Leon d'Estreville, whose proper name was Jobard, and who was an assistant in store, were in collusion to rob her of her inheritance. He chuclzled to think that there was like lihood of including him in their designs.
 Arthur Dunbar was a man of quick resolves. He would beard this lion in his den.
 Little did Leon D'Estreville think as he plodded his way back to the farm house that the victims of his small mal- ice and his worthy uncle were en- tering into an alliance offensive and defensive. For the crafty sea- captain, quite undisturbed by Arthur's declaration of having overheard his del icate little communications to his wor- thy nephew, when he found that the young American had money and was sufficiently interested in Miss Grahame to invest it in the discovery of Sir Har- ry Grahame's fate, disclosed all he knew of the sad story, and wound up his confession by declaration that if he was man enough to pay the cost of the expedition he would transfer to him his valuable allegiance.
 ''And you will go with me in search of this ill-used man?"
 ''Wel, sir-ah, yes-my instincts of humanity prompt me to render you every service in my power to rescue the unfortunate friend of Miss Gra- hame, provided, of course, that do not lose by my activity"
 Thus the compact was ratified.
 Arthur Dunbar found time that even ing to run down to the farm and tell Kate what he had resolved upon, and that gentle maiden all a-trembling at the glorious news poured forth such a melody of thanks that the young American, when he bade her adieu.

 Which simple demand was at once at- tended to.
 When the maidservant had retired Arthur began the pumping process.
 "How are things going on at the farmhouse?'' he asked, with apparent indifference.
 The farmers face was a picture of perplexity. He puffed forth a dozen clouds of smoke from his pipe, knitted his bushy brows, and gave sigh that was almost @ groan.
 "Things bean't agoing on at a to my satisfaction" he began. "Everything's at sizes an sevens since you was there. Such bickerings and heart-burnings never seen sim began to keep house, an all out O havin' frog-eatin' French people in ones family"

VIENNA, March 8.-Anton Winner, a sausage maker, being separated from his wife, and destitute of means of support, committed two murders, and killed him. self yesterday. It appears Ithat Anton attributed his domestic misfortunes to his wife's sister with whom the wife was living. Anton in vain solicited his wife's return to him. She refused. Anton thereupon drew 8 revolver and shot his
 wife fatally. Then Anton pursued the

The ancient palace of the popes of
Rome is the most magnificent building
OF the kind in the world. It stands on
the right bank of the Tiber on q hill
called the Vaticanus, because the
Latins formerly worshiped Vaticinium,
an ancient orscular deity at that place.
Exactly when the building was COM
menced no one knows. Charlemarne
is known to have inhabited It over q
Thousand years ago. The present az
tent OF the building is enormous, tho
number OF rooms at the lowest conpu-
tation being 4,422. It's treasures of
marble statues, ancient gems, paint
ings, books, manuscripts, etc., are to
be compared only with those in the
British museum. The length of the
statue museum alone Is a fraction over

OF devils, Gulielmus Parisiensis has
round, on an exact computation, that

that they vastly exceed that number.
Their internal characteristics have been
minutely described. Their bodies ara

Gus.
John Wier, physician of Cleves, con-
v1nced that this world Is peopled by
crowds OF devils, wrote in 1915 book of
some thousand folio pages which Is one
OF our chief sources of information on
the subject. He makes, says the Nine
teenth Century, seventy-two princes of
devils, with Z, ,405, 1926 subjects. He may
have owed this information to his mas
ter, Cornelius Agrippa. Collin de Plan
cy, in his ''Dictionnaire Internal" has
given pictorial illustrations to supple
ment Wier.
The figure of devil, generally, Is
that of a goat with two horns in front
and two behind; but he also appears as
a frog, fly, donkey and spider.
Blake saw him as a swimming spider.
He assumes, in short, every shape ex-
cept that of dove and of lamb. By
Europeans he is commonly painted
black. The Africans prefer a white
devil.
That old serpent, Satan, the supreme
prince of this world, of the powers of
the air, and Of darkness, Lucifer, the
devil par excellence, is described as a
great red dragon with seven crowned
heads, ten horns and huge tail He
has two deputies, one of the sea. having
three crowns more than his master, dis

feet of a bear, and the tail of a lion;

ana physical toll which the making q
our first pothooks and hangers involved
The number Of muscles put In action
when person Is writing Is prodigious,
and it is probable that In beginners
every muscle Of the body must yield its
assent before the graphic symbols
trickle from the pen.
The fingers, wrist, elbow and shoulder
must all be held steady, says the Lon
don Lancet The spine must be rigid
and fixed below as well as above. The
pelvis must be firm, and to this end
the child often gets q support by its
feet from the legs of the chair The
thorax Is more or less rigid, and its
movements are determined more by the
work Of the hand than the respiratory
needs. Lastly, the knit brows and pro-
truding tongue arc unconscious muscu-
lar acts which serve to mark the ef-
fort, both Of body and mind, which the
child undergocs when learning to write.
1t Is notorious that in writing our indi-
viduality asserts itself In spite of the
pedagogue. We are taught certain
rules for sitting at the desk and holding
the pen, which we ultimately learn to
neglect, and finally write in fashion
of our own.
The true remedy for the evils pro-
duced by learning to write seems to us
to be to teach the child to use both
hands and to practice alternately with
either hand. Vertical writing lends IT.
self more readily to ambidexterity than
does sloping writing, and there can be
no doubt that clerk who could write
with equal facility with either hand,
and could rest one side of the body
while the other was working, would be-
little liable to writer's cramp and similar
troubles. Seeing how enormous Is the
muscular effort involved in giving tho
hand sufficient steadiness, and that the
brain fag Is scarcely less than the mus
Gle fag, 1t goes without saying that
writing lessons should at first be OF
very short duration. Ten minutes with
each hand ought to amply suffice.

Pecultarifi9s Of the Female Hotsenfot and

Among the inhabitants Of the Ger
man domains of southwestern Africa
the Hottentots, Bastards, Mountain
Damara, Ovaherero and Ovambo, future
supremacy lies undoubtedly In the
hands of the Bastards, the offspring of
white men and native women, who are
at the present day far In the ascendancy.
The various tribes are always at war
with one another, and the anthropologi-
cal and ethnographical descriptions per
tanning to them are highly interesting.
Among the Hottentots the woman Is the
sole mistress or the house, the affairs
OF which she controls absolutely. With
out her permission the husband and
father cannot drink a cup of milk or
eat piece of meat. As with civilized
nations the Ovaherero woman Is q lover
OF gee-gaws. She stands at the head of
the tribes of southwestern Africa as
the prime devotee to the most massive
adornments that she can pile ON her
body. Long chains of iron beads of
enormous weight hang from her neck
and are wound around her head and
ankles as well as the upper arms, while
spiral bands of tron do duty as brace
lets, encircling the wrists like deem.
