But Trevulzio then cut in, pointing out
that practically the case was proved. That
TO allow ME the ordeal by combat would
upset all the course of military discipline,
under which he thought the matter should
be decided. Even if the olHeal of battle
was allowed, and won, it would not prove
my innocence in the face of the damning
evidence against me.
eff there is any shadow of doubt. your
excellency," and D'Entrangues advanced to
the table, "this will clear it up. Messer
Vieri, kindly hand that package to the
duke"
The man whom he addressed, who was no
ether than he whom had remarked, on en-
tering the justice room as DEntrangues'
companion, stepped forward and placed the
packet before Trenouille, who opened it
amidst dead silence.
'Messer Vicri, how did you obtain this?'
asked Tremouille.
<'The matter is simple, excellency," replied
the banker, "but first may ask if madame
the duchess recognizes the trinlzct?"
The circlct was handed to the duchess,
who said, in low voice:
1T is mine; it was stolen from me month
ago-on the 9TH of March,"
"On the Sth of March packet was dcliv-
cred to me at my house of business by one
Tarbes, calling himself servant to the Cava-
liere di Savelli He did not know the con-
tents of the parcel; but it was sent to me for
safe keeping by his master, so he said. l
gave him receipt for it, I myself did not
know what the nature of the packet was un-

against the cavaliere, opened the case and
at once recognized madame's circlet, which
I have the pleasure to restore"
GLOW did you come to hear these charges
against the Cavaliere di Savelli?" asked
Bayard.
II was informed of them by the knight,
Messer d'Entrangues."
"That is to say, M. d'Entrangues must
have known that the jewels were pledged to
you. Is this not odd?"
1t was straw of hope that foated to me,
and could scarcely breathe. D'Entrangues,
however, replied, boldly: 81 was told of the
matter by one Tarbes, a servant to M. di
Savelli.''
"You forget to add" l burst out, that
he was creature of yours, whom employed
on your recommendation
DEntrangues made no reply, and Bayard
said: I'M. d'Entrangues appears to have
usurped the functions of the provost and
played catchpole. Could we not see this

he had been dealt with summarily, under

"A pity" remarked the duke, and Ire

was little love, smiled.
II suppose you have nothing to say to
this?" said Tremouille to me-

LOVE IN LOVE.
q came on Love all unaware;

came on Love all unaware;
He sat beside brook.
And peered into the limpid wave
With pensive look
His little bow was thrown aside,
His golden arrows keen
Around him made a circle bright
Upon the green.
Pale were his cheeks, and from his eyes
The tears were like to rain.
And round about his dimpled mouth
A trace of pain.
~A-tremble were his red red lips,
And "Woe is me" he sighed;
'-They never think that Love would choose
Himself bride.
'"They think forever he must give
All youths and maidens sweet,
&Becoming mates, and round with joy
Their lives complete.
"Alas! these mortal maids are fair;
Alas! and woe Is me:
would l were a simple swain
In Already"
He ended, pouting rosily,
Then all his arrows took
And threw them at his counterfeit
Within the brook.
'Upstarting then, he ran away,
And said: Nov / am free,
And I will wed the sweetheart maid
In Already.
And l will dwell me In a cot
With her I love so true.
With honeysuckle round the door,
And violets blue.
And she shall never know that
Was other than swain
Whosesonly care was his small fields
OF vine and grain.
For her I'll clip my snowy wings
And lay them at her feet,
And say: These trophies of the chase
give thee, sweet.
80 And were they mine. and could fly,
I'd clip them. dear, for thee.
To dwell forever at thy side
In Arcady.'"

DR.. Bancroft of Burpengary Makes q
study NJ, she Little Pe~ts
DR.. T, L, Bspcrpft, Of Burpengary,
writes an Interesting letter 10 the Aus
tralas.an Medical Gazette on the life
history OF the house mosquito, an insect
which recent work upon malarian In
lection has elevated into scientific i'm
portance. This mosquito. il is thought,
has been introduced into Australia
from Europe. Tradition says that
mosquito lives, day or. two; that 1t
feeds only once, afterward retiring to
some quiet spot, where the ova are ma
tured, the eggs laid In wafer, after
which II dies, and that the male mos
quito does not feed, and that 1t Is rare
that 1t lives seven days after the meal
of blood. The Investigations of DR..
Bancroft into filarial metamorphosis
TALES exactly with those OF DIR. Man
son in respect to the metamorphosis,
except In one important item. DR.. Ban
croft had never seen the actively NOV
icg flarla, or thread worms, the last
stage Of the metamorphosis, but this
Nv atNiipbNto W tht AaNt tiiat uOoqui-
toes want to be fed, and that his died
from starvation about the sixth day
and before the filariae had developed.
In confinement II is necessary to feed
mosquitoes. Various methods and foods
were tried by DR.. Bancroft with little
success, until ripe bananas were given,
which proved to be suitable; 1t was no
ticed that male and female mosquitoes
sucked the juice of the banana almost
every day. 1t was also found that mos
quitoes would live in glass vessels up
to two months; the life of mosquito
rs therefore not one or two days, but
month at least, and frequently two
months.
The embryo filariae, DR.. Bancroft
says, when it is taken into the mos
quito's stomach, measures 100 inch in
length by 10000 inch in BREADTH on
the seventeenth day 1t measures lis
inch by 1-1,000 inch, and is not killed
when put into water. He believes that
water Is the medium by which the
young fi.ariae are transformed to the
human host, and he suggests that ex-
periments with a pardon as a reward
should be made upon life-sentenced

Curious Calvary Glover But.

A most remarkable little pant, which
is exciting not a little attention among
plant lovers. is the calvary clover (me-
dicago echinus). Though generally sup
posed TO be a native Of Palestine, this
pretty and curious little plant will live
and grow freely in the somewhat
smoky atmosphere Of Chicago.
Admirers of this plant say that to
produce healthy and thriving plants
II is necessary to SOW the seed on Good
Friday, while the more unimaginative
say that some time during the spring
will do just as well.
When the little leaves of the calvary
clover first appear above ground each
division of the leaf has deep red spot
like freshly split blood upon 1t, which
lasts for some weeks and finally fades
away.
The three leaflets composing each
leaf stand erect during the day in the
form of cross, with the head In posi-
non and arms extended, but as the
sun begins to set and evening to draw
on the tiny arm leaflets are brought
together and the top leaflet, or head, is
bowed over them.

croaking as the light passed. but would
not jump into the water. The thought
occurred to him that perhaps they were
charmed or delighted with the light, as
seals are said to be with music. The
thought of trying to catch one Of the
big frogs that abound in that section
was carried into execution. the result
being that with the aid Of light he
had no great trouble in picking them
up. He found that the brighter the
light the easier his task was and the
more deeply hypnotized was the frog.
This began the evolution Of the pres
ent calcium light effect which he gets
by taking an ordinary new tin bucket,
shifting the handle to the side and put
ting lantern inside Of 1t. The bottom
and sides act as reflector. and with
the shifted handle it is easily carried
and the light thrown full glare on the
frog. When 1t hits his eyes he Is asleep
and he knows nothing more until he Is
safely inside Of bag which the hunter
swings around his neck.

catch frog knows that IL ID mot the
easiest thing In the world. Science.
however, has solved the problem and
the farmer goes up and picks his frog
off his perch just as though he was an
ear of corn on a stalk. tf Al
The growing demand In cities for
frog hams has created this industry In
a marvelously short time. In all first
c'ass restaurants In cities frog hams
have become as fixed a delicacy for the
menu as any other of the food stuffs.
For a long time this demand was filed
by boys and young men, who went out
and gathered the frogs, toads and ev-
erything they could get hold Of. Now
there are many frog farms scattered
ever Indiana. Farmers have fonnd that
their swamp lands. which have been
considered worthless. have great value
II they are sown In bullfrogs In the fall.
Streams running through their lands
are even better for the cultivation OF
the frog, and II that stream has marsh
es on each side and reeds and mill
dam and some picturesque points 1t
seems to have a decided additional
value.
Frogs of the best grade-big Ameri-
can bullfrogs-now command all the
way from GO cents to 81 dozen, accord
ing to the market where they are Of
fered for sale. The frog farmer should
be able to catch all the way from 100
to 200 a night, or 1000 week, and put
them on the market. There are some
Indiana farms turning out such crops.
This represents big amount Of money.
The farmer is at practically no expense
after he gets his farm well stocked.
The scientific method Of bagging the
crop is the result of an Indiana mans
ingenuity. He Is Thomas Farrer, of
Shelbyville, who perhaps knows more
on the subject of practical frogology
than does any other man In the Missis-
sippi valley. For some years Farrer
was in the habit Of going to the wilds
Of Arkansas annually on hunting and
fishing expeditions. He discovered,
