ment over, a sickening repugnance to the
whole incident took the place of Demorest' S
resentment and indignation. There had
been a cowardly attempt to rob them of
their miserable treasure. He had met it
and frustrated it in almost as brutal a
fashion; the gold was already tarnished
with blood. To his surprise vet relief he
found his partners, unconscious Of the out
rage. still sleeping with the physical immo-
bility of over-excited and tired men. Should
he awaken them? No. He should have to
awaken also their suspicious and desire for
revenge. There was no danger of further
attack: there was fear that the cul-
prit would disclose himself. and tomorrow
they WOULD be far away. Let oblivion rest
upon that nights stain on the honor of
Heavy Tree Hill.
He rolled small barrel before the OPEN

Too Much Discomfort,
From the Boston Budget.

From the Boston Budget.
There was once an Irishman who sought
employment as a diver. bringing with him
his rative enthusiasm and a certain
amount of experience. Although he had
never been beneath the water he had
crossed an ocean of one variety and swal-
lowed nearly an ocean Of another. But he
had the Hibernian smile, which is con-
vincing. and the firm chanced to need
rev man. And so on the following Mon-
day morning Pat hid his smile for the
first time in diving helmet.
Now, the job upon which the crew to
which Pat had attached himself was work
irg was I'm comparatively shallow water,
and Pat was provided with pick and told
to use 1t on a ledge below in the manner
with which he was already familiar
Down he went with his pick, and for
about fifteen minutes nothing was heard
from him. Then came strong, deter

THE GREEN COLOR OF PLANTS.
Physical Basis of the ColOring Matte
of Vegetation.


of Vegetation.
d. T. MacDougal in April Harper.
The yearly miracle of the appearance OF
irrumeraole shades and hues of green in
awakening vegetation exerts a mysterious
influence. amounting to a fascination, over
the human race-a fascination made strong
by the inherited experience of untold gen.
eraions Of forest dwelling ancestors,
reaching backward across the entire pres
ent geologic period, and which grows in in
tersity as we creep from the creation TO
the millennium.
Our vague and emotional inherited inter-
est in the annual revivification of the veg
etable world becomes vividly intense and
direct, however, when it is learned that
the universal blush of green is due to the
most important cooring substance in the
woild-chlorophyl. 1t is literally true that
the existence of every living thing on
the face of the globe is ultimately depen-
dent upon the activity of plant green.
The action of chlorophyl may best be
understood when its physical properties
are demonstrated. In order to do this. a
solution of the substance is obtained by
geranium or grass in few cubic cent?
meters of alcohol for an hour. The So
lution will be a bright, clear green color:
and when the vessel containing 1t is held
IN SUcn q manner tnat tne sunlight Is re-
f1ected from the surface of the liquid, ii
will appear blood red, due to its property
Of fuorescence-thato of changing the wave
lengths of the violet end of the spectrum
in such a manner as to make them COIN
eide with those of the red end. 1t Is by
examination Of light which has passed
through q solution Of chlorophyl. however
that the greatest insight into its physical
properties may be obtained. If such a
ray is passed through a prism and spread
upon q screen, 1t may be seen that there
are several intervals of dark bands in the
spectrum. The rays which would have oc-
cupied these spaces have been absorbed by
the chlorophyl and converted into heat
and other forms of energy. This energy
is directly available to the protoplasm con-

and stood suddenly still. 1t contained the
dried and bloodless second finger Of a
human hand, cut off at the first joint!
For an instant he held it at arms length,
as If about to cast it away. Then he grim
ly replaced it in the paper, put 1t carefully
in his pocket, and silently walked after his
companion.

But even then wasn't quite satisfied, for
that man had been grubbing round as If

He grasped Demorest's hand and then
dropped the little packet into his palm, and
ambled away toward Stacy and Barker.

Make the Most Of Yourself

1t is the duty of every man to
make the most of himself. What
ever his capacities may be, he is
sure to find some place where he
can be useful to himself and to
others. But he cannot reach his
highest usefulness without good
health and he cannot have good
health without pure blood. The
blood circulates to every organ
and tissue and when it is pure,
rich and healthy it carries health
to the entire system, but if it is
impure it scatters disease where
ever it flows. Hoods Sasaparilla
is the one true blood purifier. 1t
cures salt rheum, scrofula, Ca
tarrh, dyspepsia and rhematism
because these diseases have their
origin in the blood.
