When Fitz- Hugh Lee Ram, For Governor

When Fitz-Hugh Lee Ram For Governor.
General Lee has been handicapped
by great name. It has stimulated his
pride and ambition, but it has not in
spired any vanity. When asked him
if this heritage had helped or hindered
him, he said: ~.. -.
''It has been al heavy load I have
had the reputation of a lot of ancestors
as we'll as my own to look after. What
ever good have done has been credited
to them, and whatever of evil has been
charged to me andmagnifed, because
people said they hads a right to expect
much better things of man of my
blood and breeding. -. (
"When was. running for governor
Of Virginia, john Wise said that if my
name had been Fitz-Hugh Smith new
er would have secured the nomination.
I replied that I had known good many
good men named Smith and would have
been as proudlof that name as of the
one wore. In. that way got the votes
of all the Smiths in Virginia and a
letter from a. man who told me never
to forget Captain John Smith, our first
settler, whos killed Pocahontas. -

Need Of. Covering During sleep.

The reason it is necessary to be well
powered while sleeping is that when the
body lies down it is the intention of ma
ture that it should rest, and the heart
especially should berelieyed of its regu~
lar work temporarily. So that organ
makes ten strokes minute less than
when the body is in an upright posture
This means 800 strokes In SO minutes.
Therefore in the eight hours that a man
usually spends in taking his night rs rest
the heart is saved nearly 5000 strokes.
AS it pumps six ounces Of blood with
each stroke. it lifts 10000 ounces less
Of blood in this nights session than it
would during the day, when man is
usually in an upright position. Now.
the body is dependent for its warmth on
the yigor Of the circulation, and as the
blood flows so much more slowly through
the veins when one is lying down the
warmth lost In the reduced circulation
must be supplied by extra coverings,

glittering in the moonlight. It was a
tap from the heel of shoe and was Of
solid silver.

to his companion, sand of the very
highest order of civilization. Who ever
heard of people rich enough to wear sill

"Are you sure it is silver?" asked the
Englishman, examining it closely.
"Pure and unalloyed. See how the
stone has cut into it and feel its
weight. y #
"You are right I, believe, returned
Thorndyke as Johnston put the strange
trophy into his pocketbook, and the two
adventures paused moment and looked
mutely into each others eyes. -
3s I'VE, haven't the faintest idea of
where we. are, = said Johnston, his tone
showing that he was becoming more
respondent. "We don't know how long
we were unconscious in the balloon, nor
where we were taken in the storm. We
may now be in the very center of the
north polar seas-this knob may be the
very pivot on which this end OF the
earth revolves."
The Englishman laughed. "No dan
ger; the sun is too natural. From the
poles it would look different.
AZ don't mean the old sun that you
read so much about, and that they
make so much racket over at home, but
another, of which we are the original
discoverers-a sun that isn't in old

round the earth from north to south and
dips in once day at the north and the
south poles. Seer"
The Englishman laughed heartily
and slapped his friend on the shoulder.

Atlantic, but your finding that heel tap
does puzzle me-"
"We are going to have an adventure,
beside which all others of cur lives will
pale into insignificance. Ifeel it in my

CHAPTER III

The two men watched 1T for several
minutes. All the time it seemed to be
growing larger and brighter till, after
awhile, they saw that the light came
from something shaped like a ship,
sharp at both ends and covered with
oval glass. AS it slowly nose to the sur
face they saw that it contained five or
six men, sitting in easy chairs and re-
Ginning ON luxurious divans. One Of
them sat at sort of pilot wheel and
was directing the course Of the strange
craft, which was moving as gracefully
as great fish.
Then the young men saw the man at
the pilot wheel raise his hand, and from
the water came the musical notes of a
great bell. The vessel stopped, and one
of the men sprang up and raised an in
strument that looked like a telescope to
his eyes. With this he seemed to be
closely searching the lake shores, for he
did not move for several minutes. Then
he lowered the instrument, and when
the bell had rung again the vessel rose
slowly and perpendicularly to the SUR
face and glided to the shore within 90
yards of where the adventures stood.
Gould they have seen us?' whis-
pered Thorndyke, drawing Johnston
nearer the side of the cliff.
] think so. At all events, they are
between us and the outlet. We may as
well make the best of it
The men, all except the pilot landed
and a dazzling electric searchlight was
turned on the spot where Thorndyke
and Johnston stood. For moment they
were so blinded that they could not see.
and then they heard footsteps. and.
their eyes becoming accustomed to the
light they found themselves surrounded
by several men, very strangely clad.

meet both of them. Brady says if he
does there is no need OF talk; all that is
necessary is TO put up That Fitz has al
ways intended to fight again there can be
no doubt. But his reason for coming TO
the front at this time is interesting.
Out in Frisco the other night a clever,
strong young fellow named Jeffries won a
fight, and he beat man who had never
before had a decision given against him.
II was said that the man who beat him
and beat him beyond argument would be
