the thought of causing Beryl sorrow
and trouble was one which distressed
him grievously. They had been stanch,
true friends from childhood, and in
many ways she had been like a sister
to him.
She was, moreover, such clever,
sympathetic and ready witted girl that
at one time the prospect of life COM
partnership with her had been full of
pleasure to him. Many of the incidents
OF their comradeship required to him,
and he was sensible of feeling of re-
greet that in the future the relations
would have to be different. He hoped
that Lola and Beryl would be friends,
and he tried to persuade himself that
by his mothers influence this might be
the case, but the hope was at best a
faint one.
When his thoughts slipped the mesh

washinEton's Odd Street Names.

In examining the directory, one can
not help but notice the confusion of
names of streets and alleys and courts.
For instance, there are four Pleasant
alleys in Washington, two Pleasant
streets and Pleasant Plains thrown in.
There are six Prospect streets, hills,
alleys and courts in various parts of the
town. and Prospect hills are as numer-
Gus out in the District as Fairview
school houses are out in Indiana.
Washington has six Washington high
ways, including the alleys of that
name. Coming down to alleys alone,
there is simplicity about the names
of them that is certainly refreshing.
While the people of Washington are
quarreling as to whether the name of
one of its streets is Stoughton or
Staughton, they have allowed some Of
the alleys TO be named as follows: Pigs
foot alley, Cabbage alley, Louise alley,
Zigzag alley, Truck alley. Pig alley,
two of them; Cow alley. Fighting alley,
Bood alley, lineup alley and SO on
Washington Post.

Not until several months later did I
hear something of the part of Lamar's
story which explained his coming into
my life. \ letter from Perez brought
this explanation, for which / had been
waiting eagerly. Neither johnson nor
| had had signs again of Lamar's pur-
sucrs. who, however, we believed, had
contrived to secure proof that their
intended victim had evaded their ven
geance. The strange schooner had not
reentered the bay, but the fisherman
had heard that a vessel answering her
descriptions had lain for three days at
anchor in a little harbor, some miles up
the coast, and that at least four of her
people had been away from he"
throughout her stay. 1t was his the
DRY that the four revisited the house
though the man whom l had employed

fisherman's belief had, so far as / could

than the fact that as he approached

took for those of oars against thole

THE wICKEDNESS OF SLEEPING.

jury done to the figure, but because
"lolloping' betrayed a blameworthy
tendency to ease and self-indulgence.
That was the origin also of the extraor-
dinary prejudice against taking any
extra sleep. The old knew well that
sleep, when sleep is not needed, is to
the young the most wcarisome of all
obedience, but nevertheless they be-
lieved that to wish to sleep more than
strictly regulated time, which, ac-
cording to modern hygeists, was too
short. was mark of sluggish self-in-
dulgence, and it was visited, therefore,
with moral reprobation.
Early rising was extravagantly
praised, not because it heightened the
day, for the early risers went to bed
carly, but because it was disagreeable;
ond some curious rules of diet--for'e ex-

defended in part upon the same prin-

their curls avowedly because they were
proud of them, and men go about in
shabby clothes, because, as they

ANOTHER INDIAN "CLAiM."
This Time It Is for IA Big slice of Kansas
City's Business District.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. s.-Another
Indian has been found who claims he
owns Kansas City, or at least a most
important part of it. lie Is Joseph
Boulanger, one-eighth- breed Usage
Indian, who lives in Chautauqua coun-
ty, Kan, and came here yesterday with
the intention Of beginning suits to re.
cover it. The land in question is
easily worth $50, 900, 600, ana includes
nearly everything from Fifth to Ninth
street and from Broadway to Delaware.
Some of the very best Office buildings
in the city are now located in the
district, which comprises little over
40 acres. Boulanger bases his claims
on the statement that he is the grand
son by direct descent of Colls
Montardeau, Frenchman, who, it is
said, bought the land of the govern
ment in 1882 The patent in the case
was not filed, BoulanVer saws, through
the ignorance of his grandfather and
