which ended by Sullivan shooting Lowry
five times with revolver, killing him
instantly. There had not been good
feeling between the two men for some
time. Sullivan made no effort to es-
cape, but awaited the arrival of the Of

the cause of the killing that Lowry had
made repeated charges of intimacy be-

who recently sued for divorce; that he
had made positive threats against his
live, which he believed he would carry
into execution. The domestic trou bies
between Mr.. and Mrs. Lowry have been
notorious in the community for more
than a year, eliminating ia ID suit for
divorce, sensational in some Of its

and the wife's plea for divorce was

Worn out by the e1ertions and hard
ships of the last two days he had slept
far into the morning, and found when
he awakened that the sun was pouring
down. into the rooaess ruin in hot fury
upon him.
AS he lay there collecting his waking
senses his ears detected low murmur
that rose and fell in musical cadence
belowin the canyon. Rising instantly
and gazing over the low wall of rubble
he beheld the procession mounting the
ascent to the temple. He saw the white
facess among the crowd, and his heart
leaped in thankfulness.
Seizing his rifle and tenderly raising
the wounded bird he ran quickly down
the slanting path to the next terrace.
Here the descent was more difficult, as
the way had been worn by the fingers OF
the wind and rain for ages, and there
was scarcely foothold upon the shaley
rock. But he clambered from terrace to

It seemed as though the hand of time
had been turned backward to the, days
when the triumphant Cortez marched
his handful of men into Montezumas

poles, was spread beneath him like q
vast circus, with its gayly caYarisoned
inhabitants performing sort OF melo-
drama upon an elevated stage. The
many figures were confusing; the eye
was lost in the crowds, but his gaze fol-
lowed that of the others, and his eye
caught the flash of the knife in Kulcan's
hand.
In an instant he realized that perhaps
he was mistaken, and it flashed across
his mind that he was in a city of some
wild, bloody sect, who sacrificed human
victims in their religious exercises.
he had not the remotest idea Of
course that he had discovered a people
and q city older than our: own civiliza-
ton In these almost inaccessible wilds.
But while these thoughts darted through
his mind he saw the priest raise his
weapon to strike, and he instantly
aimed his rife and fired at Kulcans up
lifted arm.
The bullet missed its aim and proyi-
deltially struck the knife just above
the priests hand, but its effect was one
entirely unexpected by Gilbert.
Standing ready to fire again, he was
astonished to see the entire multitude
turn and kneel together, extending their
arms toward him with loud and joyful
cries, unintelligible, but joyous. well
coming and fervent.

were easy, for his, ear had caught. the
word Quetzsl. and he was aware of its

Seeing that he was taken for Il god of

superstitious Fear In a Dog.

Professor Evans tells some interesting
stories about dogs. One about a Skye
terrier illustrates crude religious senti-
ment in some animals. The dog was
prone to amuse himself by tossing dry
bones in the air. apparently playing that
they were alive. On one occasion a fine
thread was attached to one of these
bones, invisible to the dog. and the bone
was slowly drawn away from him. In
stantly, says the narrator. his whole de-
meanor changed. The bone which he
had previously pretended was alive be-
gan to look as if it really were alive. and
his astonishment knew no bounds
He first approached it with nervous
caution, but as the slow receding motion
continued and he became quite certain
that the movement could not be ac-
counted for by any residuum of force

r..r .n Elemen, In sleLn....

That apprehension of catching epi
demic diseases assists in spreading
them is an old doctrine, in support OF
which many facts might be cited, and
it is only reasonable to suppose that
where the reception of contagion ID
assisted by depression of the system
alarm would have that effect. 1t is,
however, the common experience OF
medical men that especially in sur
gical cases sanguine have great ad
vantage over respondent patients,
and that to abandon the expectation
of recovery is about the worst thing
which anybody anxious for recovery
can do.
Sir Ashley Cooper indeed was al
ways reluctant to perform an opera
ton where the subject to be submit
ted to it was apprehensive of fatal
result. When patients had made up
their minds that they would not re
cover, they seemed to him to lose

DIDN'T WANT The sANK's MONEY.


An overpsymeus Of IS Reformed win In.
sercst After rhifty-seves Years

entious man yesterday paid back TO the
Commercial National bank with full in.
terest ~ bill given him by mistake.
Cashier Graham was surprised by a
visit from an elderly stranger, who quiet

without stopping to carefully count the
bills which were showed through the pay

pocket and hurried away.
Subsequently he discovered that by
one Of those mistakes sometimes made
in antebellum banking, but since pro-
hibited by the code (see banking rules,
the teller had given him S. too much.
1t was too late to return and rectify the
mistake, but he promised himself to re-
turn the money the first time he was In

For thirty-seven long years the
stranger wandered over the face Of the

The Egg. In Blra.. Ne.s..

The loon or great northern diver al
ways deposits two eggs. They are al
most perfectly eiliptical in shape and lie
side by side. The eggs are invariably
found at over three-ffths of the distance
from the front edge of the nest depres-
sion-that is, at about two-ffths of the
long diameter from the rear end of the
elongated hollow or nest proper. From
the position of the eggs one can tell how
the bird sits on the nest. as we may rea-
son that with these long bodied birds
the abdomen, which supplies the direct
heat, is well back from the front of the
hollow. This theory is verified by watch
ing the incubating bird.
The turtle dove, night hawk, whippoor-
viii and common domestic pigeon. each
of which lays two eggs at each setting,
deposit the eggs side by side, although
this arrangement is frequently interfered
with in the case of the tame bird, not
rarely with the result that one of the
eggs does not hatch.-Dr. Morris Gibbs

The Popularity of the Pink.

Since 1860 the carnation has been rap
idly forcing itself into an important
place in the flower trade. Nearly 1900
florists are engaged either wholly or in
part in growing this plant, and it is esti-
mated that fully 200, 10000 blooms were
sold last year, yielding over 81 ,0O0, 900 to
the growers. 1t is called "the flower Of
the multitude" 1t was originally found
in France. Italy, Austria and northwest
India. When introduced into England,
it was a single flower, having five petals
of light pink shade. or flesh color, which
fact conferred the name carnation. Un-
der the influence of English soil, climate
and culture. the color deepened and the
flowers were called pinks.-Exchange.
