Mr. Marklha1n'S
Private Secretary.
BY ROBERT CROMlE.

Mr.. Henry Markham. NJ. p, had ac-
cepted an invitation from his political
friend, Sir George Howard. to his coun-
try house. As the visit was more polit
ical than private. Mr.. Markham brought
his private and political secretary John
Warrington, with him. An important
measure was before the house, and
division was expected to take place i'm
mediately. Sir George represented
land. Mr.. Markham capital; and War
rington knew more about both than
either. Besides, Mr.. Markham was
vicariously engaged on "a work dealing
in bimetallism. Warrington had ideas
on the subject, and MIR. Markham be-
lieved in these so far that he had de-
cded to put his own name to them.
, Warrington" he explained to Sir
George, ''is a deuced clever fellow. He
works up my speeches: you see I am
yery busy: and upon my soul l could
not do them better myself"
This statement was scrupulously
true. Mr.. Markham and his secretary
achieved immediate and merted un
popularity with Sir George Howard's
household and guests. Markham was
ignorant. ill-bred, and arrogant. The
secretary was man of undOubted
natural gifts-he was highly educated
and had a fine literary style-but he
was lacking in the savoir vivre that
makes civilization worth while. A
strong character, he wanted that pre-
else mental adjustment necessary to
those who make the best of life as it is
and leave the conduct of life as it ought
to be to remote pOsterity. Warrington's
apparent indifferences to his own and
his chiefs social failure was pure af-
fectation. He was miserable and tried
to disguise his emotion by an Overdone
cyncism and a prepOSterOus interest
in bimetallism. He worked night and
day at Mr.. Markham's book with only
an hour off in the afternoons for pistol
practice--his sole recreation.
Miss Marion Howard, Sir Georges
only child and mistress of his house.
was at first civil to the private and
political secretary 1t was her duty.
Bmetallism she earnestly believed to
be q bore, though a harmless one. but
when she discovered that the bimetal-
list was also a socialist she was not sure
that she ought not to send for the pO-

lice. The secretary's fate was sealed.
Henceforth there must be a great
taboo. Warrington was a dangerous
character. But the, great division was
still in the future. The dangerous
character must perfOrce to be tolerated
for the present a committee of pub
lie safety was meantime organized. Its
president was public school boy and
its action was worthy of its president.
One evening the secretary was stroll
ing through the grounds thinking
about bimetallism and other things.
In dark corner of IA shlub-bordered
path he stumbled over the oustretched
legs of a man lying on the grass. War
ringtOn apologiZed. but the man was
not uppeased. His coarse, face. enor-
nous muscles, and whole set-up could
hardly be Mistaken he was a prize
fighter, or should have been. He would
accept no apology.
II have apologized, Warrington
said. What more do you want"
Il want to know if. as you thinks
yourself man, you'll put up your
tives?''
No" said Warrington; 81 won't.
But I'll tell you what I will do" He
put his hand into his hip pocket and
snatched out a short. black object with
barrel, which he pointed at the mans
face. ''lf you advance d single step I'll
put IL DtiIltl III your Skull.
>The man fell back. There was g
slight movement in the shrubbery
Warrington noticed it.
Observe" he said sharply. you
think 1 could not hit you i'm the head in
this light? See me take that branch off

straight at the densest growth of un-
derwood. There was Il hasty scramble
and the sound of running footsteps.

Howard received the report of the COM
mittee she laughed immoderately. So
they had had their trouble for nothing.
At the same time the girl did not for
give the secretary certain sins of omis-
sion. He had treated her from the first
with marked Indifference. Still she
was glad of the overthrow of the COM
mttee She wanted to be her own eX-
ecutiVe.
Next morning Miss Howard received
II written application fro the secre-
tary. lie required his meals served in
the room where he worked; otherwise
he would have them provided in the
village. This was Il terrible dilemma.
To give way to a private and contu-
macious secretary was not pleasant.
But to allow Il stranger within the
gates to seek in the village what it
must be presumed had been denied in
the castle was unthinkable. Miss
Marion did not forget this to the man
who had set the traditions of thou
sand years at defiance. Warrington
had his meals in the room given over
to him. They were splendid feasts.

foods and ignored the mystic delicacies.
lie made good progress with Mr.. Mark
hams book on bimetallism.
Miss Howard told her best girl friend
that she began to hate the secretary
heartily on his own merits. She often
met him as he was entering or leaving
the castle for his daily walk. When
she was wearing new or particularly
attractive gown she was certain to
meet him. This coincidence was with
out exception. The secretary's tired
face began to brighten as she passed
Her antiDathy was really less violent
than she had described to her friend
But he was still cOntumaciOus. He had
not yet bent the knee and did not seem
likely to do so.
The mistress Of the castle was going
on round of visits. She was beau-
tifully dressed. 1t was the secretary's
hour for knocking off" But he did
not knock off at all that day. Conse-
quently Miss Howard found him in his

WRONG & RIGHT EATING
One Makes Us Weak; The
Other Makes Us Strong.

Wrong eating makes us weak, because it
doesn't nourish us. 1t poisOns us, because
1t sets up poisonous fermentation in our
stomach aud the poisons go into our blood.
Wrong eating is eating indigestible food,
or eating more than our stomach is able to
digest.
Right eating is eating digestible food,
food that the stomach is able to digest, food
that will nourish you when it is digested.
Right eating strengthens and invigorates
the body, gives endurance, increases weight
aud restores health.
Wrong eating can be made right by TAX
ing the Shaker Digestive Cordial. This
preparation, made by the Shakers from
simple herbs, roots aud wine, is delicious.
refreshing, and strengthening to the body.
1t is a powerful aid to digestion.
1t does not act by strongly stimulating
the stomach, but with Its own digestive fer

reduces, instead of increasing, the work
which the stomach has to do.
This is why 1t increases your strength,
why 1t will cure you of all the bad effects

ment, and purifies your system Of all dam

PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED
Scientists of RenOwn VIII search for

The Trip VIII Lust Over Three
Years-Some OF the Results Which
Are Expected From 1t.

Philadelphia. April 3.-One OF the most
thoroughly equipped ana systematic cxpedi-
tions ever organized for scientific eXplora :
tion in the frozen North is now being gotten
together by Prof. Charles Z. Hite of this
city. The plan is most comprehensive
one. Among the active supporters or the
project are the various leading colleges and
scientific institutions of the country.
Prof. Hitc, although Il comparatively
young man, has made u most enyiable
record for himself as naturalist and cx-
plorcr. He has been connected with a
number of big expeditions, notably the
Pcary relief expedition of 1892, and an
expedition 10 the Adirondacks in 1898. In
1S9ihe was in command OF a party OF four,
that gathered great collection of the flora
and fauna or Labrador. The following
year he commanded an expedition through
the South American countries that was
fruitful of some excellent results.
THE PARTY.
Others who Will join in the expedition
are u. III. Perkins, jr.: Dr. Frank Russell OF
the University Of owa, DR.. Albert Schneider
OF Columbia College, New York; Prof. 4.
j. Woolnlan OF the Central High School, Du-
1uth, ani DR.. {. +. Case Of Chicago. All OF
these gentlemen nave large experience as
scientific explorers.
The party Will leave New York about the
10th on The Red Cross line of steamers via
Halifax, y. s., for st. Johns. There the
explorers will take the whaling steamer
Kite, that has already carried one OF the
Peary expeditions To the frozen North.
The field which Prof. Hite and his asso-
ciatcs propose To cover is to the scientist
and sportsman one OF deepest interest. The
flora of Labrador is represented by great
quantities of moss and lichcns, also large
the country, a great many Of which have
OF the unique botanical features is the
curious interminglng OF temperate, sub
arctic aui arctic species OF plants.
In the interior great forests of spruce
exist which would produce lumber twenty
inches wide by as many feet in length.
The growth along the coast is primitive
and s,unted, owing to the lack of soil.
MORSE RUINS.
The archaeological features of the country
are mainly presented by the study of the
Eskimo and endeavOr TO locate any sup
posed Morse ruins or habitatiOn. The Es-
kimo are one OF the most interesting tribes
OF people in the wo!.d. As they have many
curious customs and legends.
The most difficult problem TO solve is.

tremendously high seas. Her speed was
greatly reduced by being compelled TO
breast such seas, and upon reaching the
locality of ST. Michaels' the coal supply had
become so low that Capt. Fraser was COLL
PEELED TO bear away for that port for a
fresh supply.
The Glantivy reached st. Michaers Feb

collided with and almost sank the British
bark, Edinburgh, Capt. Porter. bound from
Hobart to Marseiiles. She was making the
harbor OF st. Michaels TO get fresh supply
of provisions.

the GIantivy again ran into furious hurri-

and the eventful voyage was resumed once

almost foundered, and she was forced
