CHAPTER V.-(ContInued,)
II was Miss BranAcombe, The hood
u her light mantle was drawn over
her head and face, and as she came
swiftly on, with downcast head, she
was unconscious OF my presence until
she almost touched me, At the hrst
recognition she gave little cry and
started back, the next instant she had
recovered herself, and something OF
the womanly dignity which ! had ad-
mired In her at our first meeting re-
turned to her bearing, She made no
apology or excuse for her presence
there on such n night and at such an
hour; she merely bowed her head with

mot, as ! half expected try to excuse
or account for her late walk, but with
bnother bow she passed on and up the
wide staircase. The light from a hang
ing lamp fell upon her face as she
turned to mount the steps, and l saw
that her eyes were swollen with tears
and her cheeks deadly pale. She held
tightly by the carved oak balustrade

Early as It was when descended TO

TO BRING ABOUT SLEEP.
The Half Hour Before Bedtime Should
be Quietly Spent

The Half Hour Before Bedtime Should
be Quietly Spent.
Difficulties in going to sleep are
sometimes physical more than mental
says the Spectator. The physical, un-
der ordinary circumstances, are due TO
the circulation. The following are a
few practical hints; Some sleep better
half sitting up with three pillows
some better with none; some with lit
tie covering, some with much. Hot
drinks or hot bath just before sleep,
hot bottles to the feet, are often HGeful.
Tobacco often increases sleeplessness.
Sometimes, after long waking, a small
meal will bring sleep. Some, espe-
clally invalids, will wake after two
or three hours; a cup of hot, fresh tea
will often send them to sleep again,
Sometimes the darkness seems exciting
and one can sleep with a lighted can
die. Intermittent noises, as OF rat
Ting window, are always bad, but a
continuous noise is often lullaby.
Moderate fatigue aids, but exhaustion
prevents sleep. Oftenest sleeplessness
is mental and springs from want
OF self-control. Either one subject
engrosses the mind or a succession OF
ideas. In either case the sleepless
must make the effort to stop thought
1t is best done by attending continu-
ously to some monotonous and unex-
Citing idea which is self-hypnotism.
Some count, some breathe slowly as II
asleep, some look at imaginary sheep
going through a gate. One Of the best
ways is to watch those curious appear
ances which come to closed eyes, a
purple hare fading into star, which
becomes an irregular line, and again
changes to something else. They can
not be seen when first sought, but
will come with little patience. In
all these the purpose is to fix the at
tent. IN on some object which Will
arouse no associations. It requires
steady effort to do this and to prevent
the thoughts wandering, but exercise
increases the power to succeed. The
half hour before bedtime should be
spent quietly.

cause they appropriate public money

also declares that the people who have
borrowed money for the purchase Of

It is announced that carbolite can
be manufactured from blast furnace
Stag, Carbolite is necessary to the pro-
ductlon of ethylene gas, which, II ls
said, is better than acetyl me gas,
though possessing the excellencles OF
the latter. To make this new sub
stance, Stag, while molten, is poured
into converters such as are used for
the manufacture of Bessemer steel, and
pulveri2ed coke is blown through the
liquid mass by means Of the air blast
Next the melted Stag, thoroughly per-
meated by the pulverized coke, is sub
jected to electric treatment, by means
Of which the Stag is fused with the
coke. Then the mass is poured off
into molds and allowed to cool, after
which 1t is boxed with tin and wood
and becomes carbollte In a commercial
form. One of the inventors claims is
that this material will produce gas
superior to acetylene, at much less
cost-an announcement of unusual i'm
portance II it is well founded.

A BAD YOUTH.
Escapades of Young Man from
Chelsea.

Henry g. Clark, who was arrested early
Sunday morning. June 90. by Officer
Fowler Of South Portland, for breaking
into the residence Of Mrs. William Chand-
Ter, has turned out to be the man who
robbed two houses in Chelsea, Mass,
June ED and ED, and stole from them
over si75 wcrth of jewelry. Inspector
O'Neil Of Chelsea was here Saturday and
accompanied by DEPUTY Marshal Firth,
and two gentlemen whose houses had
been robbed went to south Portland In
the evening. The two gentlemen posi-
lively identified the articles found on
Clark at the time Of his arrest here as
having been taken from their residences.
1t seems that Mrs. Chandler is Clsrk's
aunt or he claims that she Is. July 81,
1885, CLARK, then boy Of Twas arrested
in Boston on his return from visit in
South Portland, on charge of arson.
He lad set fire before this to two houses
In Chelsea, a church and the Strathmore
hotel at Revere Beach. The Chelsea Off
GERS suspected Clark ana six officers were
sent to his home to arrest him. Clark
got out onto a two-story ell and jumped
over q high board fence into the back
yard of the house adjoining and ran.
The officers followed him, firing their re-
volyers, but ths boy got away and came
20 South Portland where he remained for
some time. The people in that town
who remember Clark's visit there recall
that the boy was very lame as the result
of this remarkable jump for liberty in
Chelsea. when hessprained his ankle, but
made his escape.
On being arrested I'M Boston on his re.
turn from South Portland In 1895, CLARK
was sentenced to an indefinite term in
prison, but was released two months ago
on recommendation of the Massachusetts
Humane Society.
1t is alleged that the first thing Clark
did was to break into the two residences
and steal the jewelry which was found
ON him when Officer Fowler arrested him
q week ago Sunday morning. Clark had
come to South Portland for refuge, but
found his relatives house locked up, Mrs.
Chandler being away from home with
her husband, who is commander of q
schooner engaged in the Ice trade. Clark
broke u window aud entered the house,
and Officer Fowler found him preparing
for bed when he entered the dwelling.
The young man was very indignant at
his arrest, but was bound over for break
ing and entering to the grand jury of the
September term of court, by Judge Har.
ford when arraigned in the South Port
land Municipal court on Monday last. II
he is convicted on this charge Clark will
serve his sentencs in Maine and win then
be taken to Massachusetts to serve sent
ences on the breaking and entering in
Chelsea and also his unexpired term for
arson.
