CHAPTER XXVI-Continued,

''It is we'll. I" Lucetta had risen and
was now standing by the side of Loreen.
"Such secret as ours deties secrecy
Even Providence takes part against us
What you want to know we must tell,
but I assure you it has nothing to do
with the business you profess to be
chiefly interested in-nothing at all. "
''Then perhaps you and your sister
will retire,& said he DISTRACTED as
you are by family griefs, would not
wish to add one iota to your distress.
This lady, whom you seem to regard
with more or less favor as friend or
relative, will stay to see that no dishon-
or is paid to your mothers remains.
But her face we must see, Miss Knoll
lys, if only to Tighten the explanations
you will doubtless feel called upon to
make"
1t was Loreen who answered this
eff it must be, said she, remember
your own mother and deal revercntly
with ours" Which word and the way
it was uttered gave me my first dis
tinct conviction that it was truth these
girls had been telling and that the girl
child we had come to unearth was the
Althea of my early friendship, whose
fairylike form had for so long a time
believed to have mingled with foreign
dust. The thought was almost too much
for my self possession, and | advanced
upon Loreen with dozen burning qucs-
tions on my lips when the voice of Mr.
Gryce stopped me.
Explanations later" said he For
the present we want you here.
1t was not an easy task for me to lin
ger there with all my doubts unsolved,
waiting for the decisive moment when
Mr.. Gryce should say: Come! Look!
Is it she?" But the will that had al
ready sustained me through so much
did not fail me now, and, grievOus as
was the ordeal, 1 passed steadily through
it, being able to say, though not with
out some emotion, l own: 1T is she!
Changed almost beyond conception, but
still she" which was a happier end to
this adventure than that we had first
feared, mysterious as the fact was, not
only to myself, but, as could see to the
acute detective as well.
The girls had withdrawn long before
this, just as Mr.. Gryco had desired, and
I now thought I might be allowed to
join them, but Mr.. Gryce detained me
till the grave was refilled and made de-
cent again, when he turned and to my
intense astonishment-for had thought
the matter was all over and the eXoner-
alton of this household completo-said
softly and with telling emphasis in my
ear:

SMOKING BEFORE TOBACCO.
From The London Evening Standard.


There Is some reason to think that people
smoked before tobacco was introduced. In sew
eral old books of housewifery certain herbs
named are to be "smoaked" which means. per-
haps inhaling. as should say; but the other
signihcation is by no means impossible A vast
number of clay pipes have been found under
conditions which seem to prove that they were
deposited long before Raleighs birth: and a
pipe OF early date Is so utterly unlike the mod
ern form that these could not have been dropped
by labOrers of the present day. At an
tiquarian meeting many years ago old gem
tleman told how his grandfather used to give
him coppers for wading into the Pool Dam at
Newcastle under Lyme to gather buck bane," &"
which the veteran smoked to relieve asthma.
That remnscence carries us back a century
and half, and ii is probable that buck -bane
had been used for asthma time out of mind"
If people were already familiar with the prac-
tce Of smoking herbs should have an ex-
planation Of the astonishing rapidity with which
they took to tobacco. Ii may be noted that Car
tier found the Indians Of Hochelaga on the St
Lawrence, smoking an herb which we recognize
from his description lobeia as well as to-
bacco. His sailors did not care for the latter
but the former met with their approval from

SOUTHINGTON BOYS.

home coming of Southington boys now

from Oscar Altwein to his father. Maui
rice Altwein of Plainville, contains the
following: IF / had here the provi-
sions that l bad on Copper River,

but as we are getting out of provisions
fast and will soon be broken merchants,
we shall soon have to admit that min
ing in Alaska is big gamble" AS pro
visions are very high flour costing
$42. 90 a sack it is hardly probable that
the boys will look for another winter in
that desolate country, unless they are
fortunate enough TO make a lucky
strike. The tone az the letter is not
encouraging and the departure from
Alaska of the three boys Altwein,
Quinlan and Davis may be looked for
ward to with almost a certainty. 1t
all depends upon their makeup as to
their coming home here as in another
part of his letter Altwein writes of fine
efforts made by prospectors to get
money enough to take them back to
