A SCRAPPY RAINBOW TROUT
Had to BE Put In u Tank Where He
Had to Behave.

Had to BE Put In n Tank Where He
Had to Behave.
A distinguishing characteristic of the
rainbow trout is It's fondness for scrap
ping. There was an illustration of its
ways in this particular the other day.
at New York city aquarium. A num-
Der of rainbow trout weighing from
one-half to three-quarters of a pound
each, which had been received from
the state fish hatchery at Cold Spring
harbor, were placed at the Aquarium
in display tank, in which there was
already a rainbow weighing about half
pound, which had been there for
some time.
The new trout were received in
good condition, but they were tired
after travelling, as fish always are, and
they wanted chance to rest. The
old trout, however, Immediately began
to hustle them about the. tank 1t
which was swimming slowly along, and
bit at it. The startled fish would
start up and hurry off to the other side
OF the tank. AS likely as not the old
fish would not pursue it, but would
wait for the next one to. come along,
and then bite at that one. and start
it up. Sometimes the old fish would
follow up its attack by dashing after
the other around the tank, and it kept
this up increasingly, nagging and nip
ping the others until they were more
tired out than ever
IT, when they were put into the tank,
they had been as fresh and vigorous
as their pursuer, they would, have
turned upon it very probably and made
short work of it. AS it was, the single
trout bossed all the rest. including fish
half as big again as itself, and hustled
them about numerically. In half
day it would have wearied them to-
death.
But the scrappy little rainbow didn't
get that opportunity. 1t was scooped
out with dipnet and put into another
tank. There was a rainbow trout in
this tank, too, but this one was not
tired with travel. 1t was fresh and
vigorous. And it was also big enough
to eat the scrappy one if it tried to
cut up any capers there.

This done, she ordered the coach
man to drive to Dumfries.
When theyEsreached the town they
drove straight to Caussidiere's lodg-

the lady of the Castle descended and
walked up the doorsteps.
She knocked sharply at the door,

She followed him into his little sit

which peeped in at the open window.
Then she walked to the chair he had
prepared for her, and sitting down,
looked at him fixedly again. Not in the

and waiting for her to explain her

CHAPTER XIII.-(CoNTlNuED.)

They passed from room to room, 1nu-
ing each one gloomier than its prede-
eessor. The old man pointed out the
pictures and various relics which he
thought might be interesting, and
Caussidiere glanced about him with
eyes like hawk AS they passed on
ward his face became less radiant; a
frown of WEAKNESS and disappoint-
ment began to cloud his brow. AT
length the whole of the castle had been
examined, and the two men began TO
descend the quaint oaken stairs. Ca'ls-
sidiere, lingering as if in no haste to
go, still talked pleasantly and glanced
tmpatiently about him.
Presently they passed the half open
door of a kind of boudoir. Caussidlere,
who had looked keenly in, paused sud
denly.

The old man went forward and
pushed open the door, and the French
man, following closely behind him, en-
tered the room and stood thoughtfully
regarding the object which had arrest

still under the influence of the French

He shuffied off, leaving the French
man alone:
The moment he was, gone Caussi-
dieres face and manner underwent
complete change. He sprang from the
room, as it were, with cat-like fury,
turned over papers, opened drawers,
ransacking everything completely. At
last he came upon drawer which
would not open; it was in writing

ut home he pressed a hidden spring;
in moment the drawer flew open, and
Caussidiere was rapidly going over the
papers which it contained.
Suddenly he started, drew forth
paper, opened, and read it. A CLEAN OF
light passed over his face. He folded
the paper thrust it into the inner
pocket of his coat and closed the draw

his key he found Caussidiere, with MS

SIMPLICITY ITSELF
A SIMPLE HARMLESS REMEDY,
Yet 1t Cures the Worst Cases of Dys-
pepsia and Indigestion.

DR.. Jennison, who has made life study
of stomach troubles, says: All forms of in
digestion really amount to the same thing,
that is, failure to completely digest the food
eaten; no matter whether the trouble is acid
dyspepsia or sour stomach belching of wind
nervous dyspepsia or loss of flesh and APP
petite person will not have any of them
If the stomach can be induced by any nat
ural, harmless way, to thoroughly digest
what is eaten, and this can be done by a
simple remedy which l have tested in hun
dreds of aggravated cases with complete
success. The remedy is a combination of
fruit and vegetable essences, pure aseptic
pepsin and golden seal put up in the form
of pleasant tasting tablets and sold by drug
gists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
be taken after meals and allowed to dissolve
IN the mouth and mingling with the food
in the stomach, digests it completely before
1t has time to ferment decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thou
sand grains of meat, eggs and similar
wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say, if this wholesome remedy
was better known by people generally, it
would be national blessing, as we are a
nation OF dyspepticS, ard nine-tenths of all
diseases owe their origin to imperfect di-
geStiOn and nutrition.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent medicine, but a fifty-cent
package will do more real good for a weak
stomach than $50 worth of patent medicines
ana person has the satisfaction of know
ach, which he does not know when widely
advertised patent medicines are used.

tubercular; the second. anaeSthetic, or nerve
leprosy. In the first form inhltrations oc~
cur in the skim forming noduleS or tuber-
cleS which are especially prominent about
the forehead, cheeks and ears; later, these
sores; often they occasion pictures of hor-
rible deformity. The tubercular form is the
most severe and rapidly fatal; the average
duration of life is from five to ten years.
In the anaestnetlc form the nutrition or
the skin is interfered with from implication
of the nerves. leading to contractions and
deformities of the members; not infre-
quently there is marked mutilation from the
sinking in of the nose, the loss of the sight
and the dropping off of the fingers and
toes so that only the stumps OF the hands
and feet remain. In this form the course OF
the disease is slower, and life may be pro-
