CHAPTER "

THE STORY OF THE BALD-HEADED MAN.
We followed the Indian down the
sordid and common passage, i'll lit and
worse furnished, until he came to
door upon the right, which he threw
open. A blaze Of yellow light streamed
out upon us, and in the center of the
glare there stood n small man with
n very high head, a bristle of red
hair all round the fringe of it, and
a bald shining scalp, which shot
out from among it like a mountain
peak from fir trees. He writhed his
hands together as he stood, and his
features were in perpetual jerk. now
smiling, now scOwling, but never for
an instant in repose. Nature had given
him pendulous lip, and too visible
line Of yellow and irregular teeth,
which he strove feebly to conceal by
constantly passing his hand over the
lower part Of his face. In spite of his
obtrusive badness, he gave the impress
sion of youth. In point Of fact he had
just turned his thirtieth year.
''Your servant, Miss Morstan," he
kept repeating in a thin, high voice.
Your servant. gentlemen Pray step
into my little sanctum. \ small place,
miss, but furnished to my own liking
An oasis of art IN the bowling desert of
South London"
We were all astonishcd by the ap-
pearance of the apartment into which
he invited us. In that sorry house it
looked as out of place as a diamond of
the first water in a setting of brass.

and tapestries draped the walls, looped
back here and there to expose some
richly mounted painting or Oriental
vase. The carpet was of amber and
black, so soft and so thick that the
foot sank pleasantly into it, as into Il
bed of moss. Two great tiger-skins
thrown athwart it increased the sug-
gestion OF caster. luxurv, as did a
huge hool1ah which stood upon a mat
in the corner a lamp in the fashion of
Il silver dove was hung from an almost
invisible golden wire in the center of
the room. As it burned it filled the air
with a subtle and aromatic odor.
Mr.. Thaddeus Sholto, said the little
man, still jerking and smiling. That

course. And these gentlemen"

How to Plant Apple Trees.

There is deplorable tendency among
apple orchard planters to set the trees
too close together. Numerous or
chards, just coming into bearing, have
their trees only twenty-five and twen'
ty-four feet apart, with limbs almost
interlocking, while thus young. The
smallest limit should be two rods, or
thirty three feet, thirty-fve feet would
be better, and thirty-eight or forty still
better. When the trees get large and
their limbs meet passage through the
orchard with horses is obstructed, a.
well as cultivation. Further, the
ground so densely shaded becomes sour
and unproductive, SO far as fine fruit

SENATOR BUTLER's VIEWS.

Senator Marion Butler, of North Caro-.
lima, WAS in Washington day or two ago
hunting house for mis- use during the
next session OF Congress. and while
there conversed freely on political mat i.
ters with Star reporter. He said the
Populists, as national party, have suf-
fered accusations OF impracticability
more because some OF their tenets are
too little understood and because they
are somewhat in advance Of the times
than because they are really faulty in
principle.
II fought some portions OF our plat
FORM" said he. when 1t was adopted,
because I did not think it was good
politics to construct it just as 1t was
finally adopted, though 1 endorse the
principles contained in 1t. would be
willing to meet any one in discussion
OF the question of the naturalization
OF our railroads, for instance, and would
fear no argument that might be ad :
vanced against the proposition II I
could only have an unprecedented au-
dience. The came Is true about the
sub-treasury system, but l thought it
was mistake for the platform to in
dorse any system rather than merely
declaring in favor OF the principle in
volved.
II believe the platform to be adopted
at our next national convention will
conform pretty closely to that adopted
by the Populists OF Kentucky. The
Kentucky platform makes all other
issues subordinate to the financial issue,
which is the most important thing be.
fore this country at tho present time.
| have no idea that the Populists will
desert any OF the planks which form
part OF Its platform now. That doesn't
seem to me to be proper thing for
