They went at once to the Don and
found the dagger gone, as they had ex-

the key in the lock.
In a moment the dagger which Beryl
had brought was put into the place of
the other, the outline Of the weapon
showing OIL the plush lining exactly the
spot where it had lain.
Sir Jaffray locked the door Of the

"You are right, certainly right" ex-

They went up without saying any

bracelet they put Beryl's among them.
"what shall we do about the mother,
Jaffray?" asked Beryl when they had
locked up the jewels.

CROP AND PRICES GOOD.
Rice Was Not Materially Damaged
by the Recent storm.


by the Recent storm.
The rice crop has not suffered any ma
terial damage from the effects of the re-
cent hurricane. Since a section of the hur-
ricane passed over parts of Georgia
and South Carolina, there has been much
Inquiry as to the result of the blow upon
the rice crops but, according to Informal
ton given out by Mr.. w G. Morren the
rice broker. who is interested in rice plan
tations, the damage is not at all material.
Much anxiety had been felt by the rice
planters prior to the recent hurricane, on
account of the fear that great damage
might come to the rice which was then
shocked in the fields, as a result of pcs
sible wind or rain storm. However, since
the last storm has passed without bring
ing any considerable injury, all fears of
the future have been alayed, and the
planters believe that, aside from the
slight damage already sustained by the
rain, nothing of a damaging effect is apt
to follow. This belief is based upon the
fact that the last severe storm, which
damaged the rice crops some years ago,
came on Sept. Is This was very late, and
unless, therefore, the crops are hurt very
-, soon, which is, said he. improbable they
will be thrashed in sound condition.
Mr.. Morrell was asked what injury the
crop had suffered by the hurricane. He
said that the early crop, which was about
three-fourths of the entire crop, had al
ready been cut and stacked to dry. The
velocity of the wind he said, had not been
sufficient to blow down the stacks. How
ever, the rain had dampened them so
much that it would be necessary to turn
all the punches, that they might dry.
This extra work would occasion a loss of
about per cent. on the original value, he
said.
Continuing, Mr.. Morren said that the
crop was unquestionably the best that
had been raised during the past seven
years. Better prices would prevail than
for several years previous, and this he at
trbuted to the Y per cent. increase per
pound, which had been recently put upon
rice by the Dingley bill. Then another
reason for the advanced prices was, he
said the shortage of the crops in both
Louisiana and Texas

COncIusiVeIy.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
We take pleasure in answering at once
and thus prominently the communication
below, expressing at the same time our
great qualification that It's faithful author
is numbered among the friends of the
Sun:
Dear Editor-I am years old.
Some of my little friends say there is
no Santa Claus.
Papa says If you see it in the Sun
it's So.
please tell me the truth; is there
Santa Claus? Virginia O'Hanlon..
''115 West Ninety-Fifth street"
Virginia, your little friends are wrong.
They have been affected by the skepti-
cism Of a skeptical age They do not be-
lleve except they see. They think that
nothing can be which is not comprehend
BILE by their little minds. All minds, Vir-
ginia, whether they BE mems or children =,
are little. In this great universe of ours
man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intel
lect, as compared with the boundless
world about him, as measured by the in
telligence capable of grasping the whole
Of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and gener-
osity and devotion exist, and you know
that they abound and give to your life
it's highest beauty and joy. Alas! how
dreary would be the world IL there were
no Santa Claus. 1t would be as dreary as
If there were no Virginias. There would
be childlike faith then, no poetry, no ro-
nance to make tolerable this existence.
We should have no enjoyment, except in
sense and sight. The eternal light with
which childhood fills the world would be
eXtinguished.
Not believe in Santa Clausl You might
as well not believe in fairies! You might
get your papa 10 hire men to watch in all
the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch
Santa Claus, but even If they did not see
Santa Claus coming down, what would
that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus,
but that is no sign that there is no Santa
Claus. The most real things in the world
are those that neither children nor men
can see Did you ever see fairies dane
ing on the lawn? OF course not, but that's
no proof that they are not there. Nobody
can conceive or imagine all the wonders
there are unseen and unseeable in the
world.
You may tear apart the baby's rattle
and see what makes the noise inside, but
there IL a veil covering the unseen world
which not the strongest man, nor even
the united strength of all She strongest
men that ever lived, could tear apart. on
ly faith fancy, poetry, love, romance, can
push aside that curtain and view and pic
ture the supernal beauty and glory be-
yond Is il all real? All, Virginia, In all
this world there is nothing else real and
abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank Cod he lives,
and he lives forever. A thousand years
from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten
thousand years from now, he will con-
tinue to make glad the heart OF childhood.

Useless One. ti
We say the old way. but really it is a
very common one at the present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians
as we'll consider the first step to take in
attempting to cure indigestion Is to diet
either by selecting certain foods and re-
jecting others or to greatly diminish the
quantity usually taken, in other words
the starvation plan is by many supposed
to be the first essential
The almost certain failure of the star
walton cure for dyspepsia has been prov
en- time and again, but still, the moment
Dyspepsia makes its Appearance course
of dieting is at once advised.
An this is radically wrong. It is fool
ish and unscientihct to recommend dieting
or starvation 20 a man suffering from
Dyspepsia, because Indigestion itself
starves every organ and every nerve and
every fibre in the body.
What the Dyspeptic wants Is abund-
ant nutrition, which means plenty of
good wholesome, well cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach to
digest it, This is exactly the purpose for
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and this is the method by which
|. they cure the worst cases of Dyspepsia;
in other words, the patient eats plenty of
wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets digest it for him. In this way the
system is nourished and the overwor6ed
stomach rested. because the tablets will
digest the food whether the stomach
works or not. One of these tablets will
digest 5000 grains of meat or eggs
Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest and safest
remedy sold for stomach troubles and ev-
cry trial makes one more friend for this
excellent preparation. Sold at SOC for full
