CHAPTER NIu.-CoNTrNuEp.

Courage" whispered Belin, and l
was before the king. In the first two
steps / took on entering the room l
perceived that there had been a scene.
Sully was standing against the open
window, his back to the light, and
gravely stroking his beard. The mar
shal was pacing backward and forward
in an agitated manner, and the king
himself was leaning against a high
desk, beating "a tattoo with his fingers
on the veneer.
AS de Belin presented me, bent TO
my knee, and there was dead silence,
broken only by Henry renewing the
quick, impatient tapping of his fingers
on the woodwork of his desk. He was,
what was unusual with him when in
Paris, in half armor, and perhaps in
compliment TO the king of Spain, for it
was the anniversary of the treaty of
Vervins, wore the scarlet and ermine-
lined mantle of the Toison dor. In the
| silence my eyes unconsciously caught
the glitter of the collar, and | could al
most read the device, "Pretium non
vile laborum," on the fleece.
You may rise, monsieur" the king
said at last, coldly, and added; And
you may speak. 1t is because l under
stand that l have for the moment ex-
cused you-now what have you to say?'
AS he spoke his glittering eyes met
me full in the face, and for the mo-
nent could not find words.
"Ventre ST. Grisl" and Henry picked
up a melocotin from n salver that was
by him and played with it between his
| fingers, "you could not have been born
under the two cows on the field, or else
you would have found your tongue ere
this, NJ. d'Auriac-you are not of the
south, are you?"
mo, sire, though my father was gov
ernor of Provence, and married into the
Folk Candale."
IF so you should be perfect Chrys-
ostom. What have you to say?"
had regained my courage by this
and took the matter in both hands:
"Yonr majesty, | will speak-I charge
the marshal, Due de Biron, with being a
traitor 20 you and to France, ! charge
him with conspiring-"
You liarl"
1t was Biron's voice, furious and
cracked with rage, that rang through
the room; but Henry stopped him with
word, and then | went on repeating
exactly what is known, and what have
described before. When it was over the
king turned To- the marshal, who burst
out in passion Of upbraiding, calling
God and his own services TO witness
that his hands were clean, "and is the
word of this man TO be believed?" he
soncluded, this man, who was openly
in arms against the king. who is known
as brawler in the streets. who is even
now trying TO win the hand OF royal
ward with not penny piece to line his
doublet pockets, who is excluded from
the kings peace-is his oath to be TAX
en- before the word of peer of France ?
Sire, my father died by your side-and |
i will say no more, Believe him il you

The Mule Knew.

Several years ago there lived in Gin
cinnati mule which wasemployed by a
street railway company in hauling cars
up steep incline. This animal was un-
hitched in front of the regular team.
and unhitched as soon ms the car ar
rived at the top OF the hill. 1t made a
certain number of trips in the forenoon
Il have forgotten the number, but will
say so for the sake of convenience, and
a like number in the afternoon, resting
for an hour at noon. AS soon as the
mule completed its 50th trip il marched
away 10 its stable without orders from
its driver. To show that il WAS not in
tiuenced by the sound of the factory
whistles and bells, the following re-
markable action on the part of this ami
nal is vouched for by the superintend-
ent of the line, who gave me these data.
On certain occasion, during a musical
festival, this mule was transferred To
the night shift, and the very instant II
completed its 50th "trip il started for the
stables. 1t took the combined efforts OF
several men to make il return 10 its
duty. At night there were no bells or
whistles to inform the creatures that
quitting time" had come; it had count
ed the trips, and, having finished its
full quota of so, il thought that the
time for rest and food had arrived

lT is the confident expectation of
officers OF the signal corps of the army
that within a short time messages can
be sent to and from the war depart
ment at Washington to Fort Myer, five
miles away, without the aid of wires.
Important experiments have already
been made by Col. James Allen and
Lieut. George o. Squire to transmit
messages by means of electric waves
produced in the manner required by
the Marconi system, and they have
found that at u distance of 200 yards
they can telegraph any message they
desire, and it is proposed to daily in
crease the distance.

THE new antitrust law of Arkansas
continues to be the subject of concern
among all classes of people. A new
feature of the far-reaching effect of the
law is beginning to be realized. that is,
the probability that it will destroy all
labor organizations in the state. The
law Is operative against any combi-
nation seeking to control the price
of various enumerated commodities or
"any thing" Labor being defined as "a
thing" all unions or federations for the
purpose of mutual protection and the
keeping up of standard of wages
come under the ban of the antitrust
law

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF Figs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be-
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
| dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
| laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

i'm FAVOR OF THE CENTAUR CO.
yusge Adams Granted an Injunction
In the Csstoria Case.


In the United States Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon Judge Adams hand
ed down an opinion in the suit of the
Centsur Company, of New York City,
against Samuel w. Eslinger, of st.
Louis, the suit being for an injunction
TO restrain the defendant from using
the plaintiffs remedy, "Castoria."
1t was stated in complainants bill
that the Centaur Company, of which
Charles III. Fletcher Is president, is-the
sole manufacturer of "Castoria," and
alleged that the defendant had been
selling medicine in packages closely re-
sembling those of the New York firm.
A preliminary injunction was prayed
for to restrain the defendants from in
any way pirating upon the complain
ants business. The bill averred that the
damages sustained were large, but
could not be estimated. The plea of the
defendant was that he had a right to do
as he had done.
Evidence in the case was taken by at
fdavits. Judge Adams, without leav-
ing the bench, delivered an opinion in
which he denounced imitators of we'll
known medicines. He said the practice
was a species of robbery and he would
grant the injunction sought.
The medicine "Castoria" was at first
protected by patent and later by label
and trade mark. The plaintiff claimed
that other decisions similar to the one
handed down yesterday have Seen Sc
cured in the Federal courts, cases being
innumerable in Chicago, indianapolis,
District of Columbia. Texas and New
Jersey, in all of which the courts grant
ed injunctions.
The attorneys in this suit were Sed-
don and Blair of St. Louis, and f. II.
Scott, of Chicago, for the complain-
ants and Michael Kineally for the de-
fendant. The preliminary injunction is
understood to settle the point of law
involved, but the question of damages
will be adiudged when the case has it's
| final hearing.
The bottles of the original "Castoria"
manufactured by the Centaur Company
bear the facsimile signature of the pres
ident Charles II. Fletcher, on the label,
while the bottles sold by the defendant
company bore on the label the words
"Pitcher's Baby Castoria." 1t is said
that criminal proceedings will follow,
and that several arrests may be made.
He Took II Gently.

WAKE ISLAND.
How 1t Was Formally Taken Pos
session Of by the United States
Ship, Bennington.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March M.-The
conditions under which Wake Island, mid
way between Honolulu and the Philip
pines, was taken possession of in the
name Of the United States by the COM
mander of the Bennington, on her voyage
across the Pacific, are given in report
to the Navy Department from Commander
Taussig, dated at sea two months ago.
The officer says he approached the island
with the navigator at the masthead,
steaming slowly along the southern and
eastern sides to discover signs of habita-
ton. and looking in vain for an anchor
age. He did not circumnavigate the is
land, but seeing that the ouelet on the
north was barred, not only by wall of
coral but also by a sand pit he returned
to the lee of the island A landing was
made at one o'clock on the Eth of jan
uary and a flag pole was raised. Besides
some pieces of wreckage, no signs of hu-
man occupation were visible. On the
eastern side of the island, imbedded in
the sand, an anchor was seen and what
appeared to be the wreck of lower mast
was higher up the beach
When the flagstaff was in place, the
sailors were formed in two ranks facing
seward and having called all to wit
ness that the island was not in the pos
session of any other nation, Commander
Taussig ordered the American flag to be
raised by nsign Wettengel. Upon reach
ing the truck the flag was saluted by
twenty-one guns from the Bennington.
After the salute the flag was nailed to
the masthead with battens, and a brass
plate with the following inscription was
screwed to the base Of the flagstaff:
United States of America,
'Wm. Mckinley, President,
john D. Long, Secretary of the Navy,
Commander Edward d. Taussig, U. S.
N, Commanding the United States steam
ship Bennington, this seventeenth day of
January, 1893, took possession of the

aimed to sell. This is true not only OF
domestic commerce, but of internation-
al trade as well. 1t is indispensable to
the building up Of profitable foreign
trade that foreigners be made aware
of the character and superiority of the
goods offered them, which can only he
done through judicious system OF ad-
vertising.
AS to the value of advertising in the
home market the crowded advertising
columns of reliable newspapers of gocd
standing and guaranteed circulation
are the best evidence. The successful
American merchant fully appreciates
the value in his business Of liberal
use of printers ink. 1t will invariably
be found that the most successful mer-
chant is also the most liberal adver-
tiser.
Prof Bryce's suggestion that the
study of this advertising art be made
a part of the regular business college
curriculum may be profitably adopted
elsewhere than in Liverpool.

DECLINES TO TALK.

New York, March 21.-Gen. Joseph

ground of the controversy. l am in too

Their, even if there were anything more
to say.

be made, and that those officers should
not be allowed to rest under a cloud Of
Misunderstanding.
