serted him that Kenyon felt so uncom.
Portable and depressed. He couldn't
tell just what it was, but there had set
tied on his mind strange, uneasy fore
boding. After time he went down
into the saloon and tried TO read, but
could not, and so wandered along the
seemingly endless narrow passage to his
room, which was Wentworth's as well,
and, in nautical phrase, turned in"
1t was late when his companion came in.
"Asleep, KenyonP" he asked.
NO." was the answer.
"By George! John, she is one of the
most charming girls ever met. Won
derfully clever, too; makes man feel
like a fool beside her. She has read
nearly everything. Has opinions on all
our authors, great many of whom I've
never heard of. / wish, for your sake,
John, that she had a sister on board"
Thanks, old man; awfully good OF
you, I'm sure" said Kenyon. Don't
you think it's about time tostop raving
and get into your bunk, and turn out
that confounded light?"
"All right, growler, l WILL" was the
answer.
Meanwhile, in her own stateroom,
Miss Jennie Brewster was looking at her
reflection in the glass. AS she shook out
her long hair until it rippled down her
back, she smiled sweetly, and said to
herself:
Poor Mr.. Wentworth! Only the
first night out and he told me his name
was George"

'That depends upon circumstances.
Usually policeman is called in"
"Why, it's like being detective.

the cases you have had. Don't make me
ask too many questions. Talk"
II don't think my experiences would
interest you in the least. There was one
case with which had something to do
in London two years ago that"
"0h, London. don't believe the book
keepers there are half 30 sharp as ours.
If you had to deal with American ac-
countants you would not find out so
easily what they had or had not done.'
SWELL, Miss Brewster, what tell you
is, of course, in confidence. l wouldn't
whisper it to anybody else, but may
say l have just had an experience of
that kind with some of your very sharp
est American bookkeepers. I found
that the books had been kept in the
most ingenious way, with the intent to
deceive. The system had been going on

in policeman"
"No. This was one of the cases where
policeman was not necessary. The
books were kept with the object Of
showing that the profits Of the m-of

than they really were. may say that
one of your American accountants had
already looked over the books, and,
whether through ignorance or careless
ness, or from q worse motive, he re-
ported them all right. They were not

Zen q steamer that il not without its
charm, as, perhaps, you will find out
before the voyage is over, john"
"You are merely trying to ease your
conscience because Of your heartless de-
sertion of me-"
George Wentworth had waited at the
top of the companionway little more
than five minutes when Miss Brewster
appeared, wrapped in an arrangement
tipped with fur, which lent an addition
al charm to her complexion, set OF as it
was by a jaunty steamer cap. They
stepped out on the deck, and found it
not at all as dark as they expected. Lit
tie globes of electric light were placed
at regular intervals in the walls Of the
deck building. Overhead was stretched
a sort of canvas roof, against which the
slecty rain pattered. One of the sailors,
with rubber mop, was pushing into the
gutter by the side of the ship the mois-
ture from the deck. All around the
boat the night was as black as ink, ex-
cept here and there where the white
curl of wave showed luminous for a
moment in the darkness.
Miss Brewster insisted that Went
worth should light his cigar, which,
after some persuasion, he did. Then
he tucked her hand snugly under his
arm, and she adjusted her step to suit
his. They had the promenade all tc
themselves. The rainy winter night
was not as inviting to most of the pas
sengers as the comfortable rooms be-
low. Kenyon, however, and one or two
others came up, and sat down i'll the
steamer chairs that were tied to the
brass rod which ran along the deck
house wall. He saw the glow of Went
worth's cigar as the couple turned a
the further end of the walk, and as th'
two passed him be heard low murmul

CHAPTER III.

Next morning Wentworth worked his
way, with much balancing and holding
on of stanchions, along the deck, for
the ship rolled fearfully, although
there seemed to be little wind and the
sun was shining brightly, but the per
son he sought was nowhere visible. He
thought he would go into the smoking
room. but changed his mind at the door
and turned down the comranionwcy to
The main saloon. The tables had been
cleared of the breakfast belongings,
but on one of the small tables white
cloth had been laid, and at this spot
of purity in the general effect OF red
plush sat Miss Brewster, who was COM
placently ordering what she wanted
from a steward, who did not seem at all
pleased in serving one who had disre-
garded the breakfast hour to the dis
arrangement of all saloon rules. The
chief steward stood by door and
looked disapprovinely at the late guest.
1t was almost time to lay the tables for
lunch, and the young woman was as
calmly ordering her breakfast as If
she had been the first person at the
table.
She looked up brightly at Wentworth,
and smiled as he approached her.

ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts

the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis

ton of the system, which the pleasant

who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact that tits til"

Science and the MOSQUITO,

There are four truths respecting the
mosquito which modern science has
established:
First-A mosquito cannot live in
air free from malarial poison. I'm
tainted air has the same effect on him
as healthy community on doctor.
1t deprives him of patients, and he
must go to less-favored localities to
practice.
Second--The lymph, which flows
through an automatic valve when it
inserts its proboscis, contains a modi-
fed germ of the malarial fever, and,
according to the we'll settled law of
innoculation, the Introduction of the
weak germ renders harmless an at
tack by the strong germ.
Third-The mosquito never swal-
lows human blood. 1t cannot. The
fact that its body becomes discolored
and swells, while probing, is caused
by the discoloration of the lymph in
contact with the blood and the muscu-
lar effort of inserting the probe.

This also proves, not

thrusts are those of skilled and

A FAITHFUL BROTHER.
How He vin,licated His Missing Relatives
Name.


Name.
81 practiced law once in Silverton,
Colorado" said one of the passengers
in the smoking-room of the Pullman,
and had a case that struck me as a
model exhibition of faithfulness. A
Swede was mail carrier over the pass
to the other side of the range. 1t was
not long trip, but it was severe one,
made on foot and with the danger in
winter from heavy SHOWS adding to its
difficulty. Andrew carried the mail
for year, then one day he failed to
reach home. There were valuable let
tiers in his sack, and the Inference that
he had decamped was strong. On the
night he should have come into Silver
ton his brother, fresh from Scandina-
via and unable to speak English, got
off the stage. As county attorney, !
had to break the news to the boy, and
stood by while he wept.
Rewards were offered for Andrew,
and sent out parties to search the
pass, but to no eff, ct. A miner claimed
to have seen him week later in Lead
vile, but we got no more trace of him.
The brother refused to believe that
Andrew had done wrong, and spent
his days tramping the canons search
ing for his brothers body. We tried
to get him to 60 to work, sbut he did
not yield until by his shortness of
funds he was starved to it. In the
summer, when most of the snow was
off, he searched again, but in vain.
During the winter he worked, but
when the second spring came he re-
newed his lonely trampings up the
trail. We thought him demented, but
he cared not for our opinions. One
day in August he walked along at the
base of cliff and saw boot sticking
out from some debris. He uncovered
it and his search was ended. That
evening he came into town with the
mail sack, much stained but intact,
and his brothers coat. The grave he
dug, with the rough stone he after
ward put at its head, is up the canon
yet. 1t took two years to vindicate
his brothers name, but he did not
begrudge it. When it was done he
went back to his native land. Chi

Sound travels by waves radiating
from central point of disturbance,
just as waves radiate when stone is
dropped into still water.
So far as the hearing of each indi-
vidual is concerned, these waves move
in direct line from the cause of the
sound to his ear, the impact being the
greatest in the ear nearest to the
source.
This being the case, a person who
has totally lost the sense of hearing in
one ear, although he may imagine that
the defect is of little consequence, can
not locate the direction of a sound to
save his life, even when the centre of
disturbance is quite near him.
