The third envelope was addressed to
Miss Fairbanks. To her she said:
81 am not conducting my project In
the way had planned before coming to
White Cliffs. But, after all, we are the
merest puppets in the hands of fate. l
had meant my little Ninette should win
her own way with you before made
for her the startling claims of kinship.
She Is Sibley Fairbanks daughter-his
only child, born in holy wedlock. Her
mother and father did not live together
happily. He deserted her: she had to
make her own support. As all of the
papers We're in his possession, 1t may be
some time yet before the child's legal
claim upon you or upon your father can
be established. She is the child of my
only sister-a younger sister, to whom
was idolatrously attached. John Lori
mer's suit for my hand carried no weight
with 1t until he accidentally mentioned
the fact of having the Fairbanks, of
Glenburnie, as neighbors. I meant to
have kept Ninette myself until her
claim upon her grandfather had been
made so clear that he would gladly have
recognized it; but 1t has been ordered
otherwise. If your first impulse should
be to order Celeste, the child's nurse, to
leave your presence and take the child
with her, stop and deliberate twice be-
fore you send your brother Sibley's in
FAINT daughter adrift In an unfriendly
world Until procure the proofs of
what say, you must take my simple
assertion. Every word in this letter is
absolutely true"

A Queer Dwelling.

Arizona is literally covered with the
ruins of strange hsbitations. Most of
them are constructed of concrete or
adobe, and the mystery about them is
the identity of the people who designed
them. How they could be built is NOT
a matter Of conjecture, as the matte
rials are close at hand. But there is
one ruin, although still in good state
of preservation, that is a mystery, no
matter in what light it is considered.
In is in the Huachucha Mountains,
not far from the military reservation,

TIE DRINK pLNaRR,

The Medical Pioneer, the official organ Of
the British Medical Temperance ASSOCIATION.
says:
''As an association we proclaim the dan
ger and the damage OF drink both to health
and life, mind and morals. The common
sale and the widespread use OF alcohol IN all
its mixtures is more potent cause of un-
thrift and poverty, vice and crime, OF disease
and death than any other single cause and
than most other causes put together. 1t is
the fashion now to say that intemperance
has greatly diminished, especially among the
upper classes That It is not so universal rs
it used to be may be thankfully admitted,
also that some gross customs have been done
away with, but habitual drunkenness is still
fearfully prevalent In all classes. high and
low. rich and poor. educated and ignorant,
while hard drinking, free and careless drink
ing. is 80 common as to be often unnoticed.
1t is a fact that, without being obvious
drunkards, there are hundreds Of thousands
OF men who are scarcely ever sober from one
years end to another. They are not drunk
and incapable; for the sake Of their wives
and families and of the public. it would be
better if they were. They are only too capa-
BILE of doing mischief. Their muddled brains
are dead to every good and holy impulse and
fey are led captive by the devil at bis will. "

her Indo- Chinese possessions to ex-
tend to the east bank of the Mekong.
It is this territory, then, 100 to $50
miles wide, between the Mekong and
the coast range of hills, which has
been the casus belli.
England is interested in the ques-
ton because the disputed territory
touches her Burmese possessions on the
north; because of her hereditary
hatred of the French, and because Of
her jealousy of territorial acquisition
in tho enst by any other Nation. Rus
sia, rs the ally OF France in Europe
and the rival of England in Asia, has
n double motive for taking the part of
France.
Siam has figured largely in legend
and poetry. Marco Polo visited it.
Tales in which there is strange blend
ing of the improbable and the true
have been told about it. 1t is only
within comparatively recent times that
accurate information has been OBJ
tained concerning this far-away coun-
try. Authentic Siamese history be-
gins with 1850, when Ayuthia, now n
cluster of ruins seventy miles north of
Bangkok, was the capital. The period
from 1859 to 1858 was made illustrious
by the career of Constance Falcon, q

Where the shells were obtained ID q
mystery that may never be solved. Il
does not seem possible that the buid-
er of the house would carry the ma
terial over hundreds of miles of desert
when there were plenty of rocks near
by, that would answer the purpose just
as well even though they were not so
unique. .s .a s..
The house is built in the shape Of
the straw huts of the Papago Indians
and is about the same size. There ia
room inside for five or six persons, but
at present nobody occupies it, except,
perhaps, some prospector who uses it
for temporary shelter in cold weather.
There area dozen varieties of shells
to be found in the walls, and one over
the door is of extraordinary size. IS
The age of the building will never
be known, but there is little doubt
that it is as old as the oldest in the

sxclamatlons of grief as she sprang to
the horse, which neighed shrilly and
stooc quite stlH as sne strokeo the
horse's neck.
"See, dad, see! There's a mark on the

Hank Dawson peered at the saddle,

Club turned to the wondering crowd

duced the King to send an embassy to
Louis XIV. .>Ayuthia remained the
capital until 1853, when, after a siege
of two years, it was taken and burned
by the Burmese. These in their turn
were driven out by Phya Tax, the son
of Chinese by Siamese mother. He
made Bangkok the capital and after
ward ascended the throne. The pres
ent dynasty was founded in 1882.
The present ruler is King Chulalong
korn l., of whom and of the form of
whose Government Carter b. Harrison
in his book, ga Race With the Sun, -
thus speaks:
"The King owns everything and, in
a certain sense, everybody. He is lord
of all he surveys, and yet; is himself
the veriest slave of the groveling su-
perstitions and vile customs of his
neutrality-suspicious. and customs
which must be source of intense dis
gust to 80 intelligent man as King
Chulalongkorn evidently is, yet which
he could not escape, except at the risk
! of losing his throne.
tAbsolute monarch, his will a law to
every man in the realm, his proclama-
tions gainsaid by no one, yet he him
self is absolutely governed by custom
and the opinions of his mobiles, even to
the daily routine of his life. With
tastes and aspirations natural to man
of culture, and ambitions growing out
of his royal position and his evident
desire for his country's prosperity, he
is utterly powerless to do the half he
would for his people, because he is
locked up in his palace and can see the
peoples needs only through the eyes
of others and can hear only the voice
of fiattery, or, what is yet worse, the
voice of self-seeking and too often dis
honest ambition"
The King assembled the throne when
he was fifteen. years old and is now
forty. He has a multitude of wives,
according to the custom of the coun-
