How I found my way out of that room
and how I at last stumbled into my
own, Is of small Importance. What
should tell Is that just as l crossed my
darkened threshold I caught, far down
the hall, passing glimpse Of Lucetta
carrying lighted candle in her hand.
After that short view remember MOTH

and gone to bed, for when I woke in
the morning I was between the sheets
and the bed was pushed back in Its
place against the wall
1t was a maid who woke me. had
seen this woman before, and had rather
liked her appearance, which was that
of strong and kindly woman. She
was building the fire when I opened
my eyes, and the cheerful glow pro-
The visions Of the night seemed to re-
cede. and for a moment believed my
self to have been merely the victim of
a horrible nightmare. Her face, as she
turned towards me, added to this feel

surance was great. or my imaginat ion
had indeed played me a fearful trick.

inquired as lightly as could what
had happened in the night to keep the
family up. To which she responded
that Miss Lucetta had been Ill "a palpa-

had I been laboring under an hallu-
cination which brought her image up
before me. and II her image had been
an hallucination, why not that other
dreadful thing which had made the
night horror to me? Changing my
assertion then into question, asked

when she moved to arrange the cur

house and asked how many there were
in the family.
She mentioned the three young peo-
pie, a man servant and herself and
then added: There are not many Of
us. but enough to make use of the
house and to keep most of the rooms
stirred up.
"And was there no one else in the
house last night?" pursued.
She turned sharply, looked at me
with displeasure, and quickly replied:
's'Why, you were here, were you not?'
II laughed. but did not desist. "And
no one else?"
She seemed embarrassed at my per-
aistence, but answered emphatically

of new tonnage today will average about
s43 per ton. The proposed bill asks that
new tonnage be assessed at $40 per ton,
with a reduction of 81 per ton for each

II rested his gun on the ground and
placed both hands over the barrel. when
he cartridge was exploded and his hands
were blown off. His arms were smputated
near the elbow.
Then the problem arose of providing him
with not only new arms, but with hands
and fingers. A manufacturer of artificial
limbs in London studied over the problem
for more than year. and finally devised
an elaborate apparatus which enables Mr..
Cooper-Chadwick TO get along almost as
well as he did before the accident occurred.
One of the first things he did when the
new limbs were finished was to write
book. This WAS called Three Years with
Lobengula," and it consisted of upward of
SO pages of letter-press. All the manu-
script was written by Mr.. Cooper-Chadwfck
with the artificial hand, which held a pen,
He now says he is able 10 write rapidly
as when he used his own hand, and his
handwriting does not differ much from
what it was formerly. There is no reason
why he should not use typewriter.
He has been Photographic in the acts of
writing. shaving, smoking, eating his food
and brushing his hair. For the performance
of these different functions and of multi
tudes of Others required by the ordinary
avocations of life. special tools have been
provided which fit in his artificial limbs.
These tools he carries in poc2et.
Of course the work of providing him with
limbs whic Ii ca do all his work was i'm
mensely facilitated by the fact that he al
ready possessed well-developed arm near

Remedy for Heaves in Horses.

1t is generally understood that horse
having heaves cannot endure dry feed,
especially dry hay, and that greatest re-

grass, at season of the year when ras

thorou ugh experiment that horse that

on the pedestal of canine greatness as
