vividly by contrast the changes that

that time augmented by the transports
calling on their way to Manila has been
such, that it has been a rare occasion
for many months for sailing vessels to

CHAPTER v.
The Body on the Ice Floe.

1 lay on my bed and chittered as with
deadly cold. And even then 1 could
hear heavy footsteps come and go down
the hall and then the clang of a shut
door: With that terror, doubled and
trebled. of that house of fear came over
me. l knew not at what moment the
murderers might return and kill me.
My grandfather dead-my father the
murderer. I minded how he had called
me the heir for whose sake he had been
thrust out of his heritage. Surely q
thoughD he will come back and make
an end of me also. / rose and threw
my clothes about me, my fingers scarce
able to grasp the buttons, being numb
and without power. The window OPEN
ed upward, and setting it to its limit.
Hooked out, and 10. on the thin. sorink-
ling of snow. could see as it had been
dark shapes dragging a heavy burden
downward toward the river.
And again at this moment the faint
ness came over me. and / lay all abroad
on the cold floor beneath the window
till. when l came to myself, l was al
most frozen to death by reason of the
stark rigors of the night, added to the
fears natural to my tender age.
All this while. even in the depths of
my swound, the voices came to me, now
high, sharp and quarrelscme, anon
women laughing foolishly and without
wit. And all over that house of New
Minis there must have been those that
heard. yet none ventured abroad to see
the things which satan wrought by
means of his followers.
But my heart beginning to beat fast
in my side, and sending (as ! suppose)
the blood to my feet and head, de-
tergn5ned that l would see what they
did with my grandfather I laid hold
of the thick ivy branches without the
window and scrambled down. 1t was
a matter of eight or nine feet, and easy
climbing.
Then, being once among the black
trunks of the fir trees that grew thick
between me and the river down in the
valley, began to lose, fear For action
and the resolve of the heart to do some
thing Git matters not WHAT are fine
solvents of terror. / went stumbling
and tripping, now headlong, now crab

within sight of Esk Water slipping
along between its dark banks. an edg-
ing of foot ice clinging to the banks
gray-white, and the black water be-
tween dotted with little islands and
tables of floating ice For there had
been thaw up among the hills, and,
according TO its won't the ice came
down in floating skreds and patches.
And as I went ! came nearer to the
fiendish laughter till it seemed to come
from the farther side of little plan
tation which hid the bridge from my
view. The old bridge of New Milns was

dagger also is missing.

himself a mischief. Woe is me, 1t is

my poor father was led to think so by
that evil-hearted Englishman, UNI

"A proper enough sentiment" said
the minister. Il like not Episcopians
myself"
Then, making little detour, I passed
them, and, going a little way farther
down in the bed of the river / saw a
little cloud of folk assembled, all most
earnestly looking at something. l went
down and mingled with them. but none
took any notice of me. Nor was it
likely. For there, on its face, frozen in
firmly on either side. and the tails of
his thick blue coat dabbling dankly in
the smooth black water, was the body
of Sir James Stansfield
Then one Andrew Grieve that had
been his baron bailie, went in and broke
the ice, and with many hands to help
drew him to shore, a most dismal sight
to see. He would have chafed his mas
ter's fingers and drawn off his boots,
but Philip Stansfield. coming up at the
moment, babe him desist. urging that
it was useless and wicked to strive
against God.
Then, the place being near to the
cloth mill, Umphray Spurway came out

his shoulders and buttoning his points
like one who had not slept half enough.
At sight of him Philip Stansfield cried
out, There is the murderer of my ia
Their. Seize him, Seize hint"
And all turned to look at Umphray
Spurway. who came elbowing his way
through the throng and saying, Now,
then. Now, thenr' after the wont of
Yorkshiremen.
As soon as he saw the body. he
clapped down on his knees beside it.
crying out. My friend-my poor friend
and benefactor-who hath done this
thing?"
And the tears ran down his cheeks,
for, though little given to show affec-
ton. this man loved my grandfather.
Seize the murderer Hold himi"
cried Philip Stansfield. And at his
word two of his faction. Saul Mark and
1cOTBc JOltiSOl tcdlleO the DeVIl s
Tailor'D came forward to lay hands on
him.
But the great Englishman heaved
himself up like a lion among jackals
and such like
His chin stuck out squarely with the
red beard upon it. and his brown hair
fell over his brown face like the name
of a lion.
Have any of you word to say to
me?" he cried in a great voice And
from before the mere wind of his up
rising Saul Mark and the Devils Tai

Have you a word to say to me, Phil
ip Stansfield?" he said again, turning
on the young man.
Il proclaim this man my fathers
murderer" cried Philip StansfeId.
Seize him and take him to the great
house. There we will find means to
make him speak the truth concerning
this matter"
And at his words there was a certain
movement among those retainers of Sir

Then-there came the twitching
again. The hangings moved aside. The

fireplace.

BOGUS CALIFORNIA LABELS.

BALTIMORE, Nd Judge Morris of
the United States court here has grant
Cd ar III. notion which n ohibitS other
than California fruit being put on the
market as California fruit, in cans. In
so doing a ruling was made of wide in
tereSt, as it concerns not only the fruit
packers in general but all those who
purchase canned fruit and California
fruit in particular, for home consump-
ton.
The case was that of the California
Fruit Gamers Association, and ten
other compliments against J. Meyer
e Co., coming before the court for a
preliminary injunction to restrain the
defendants from using the words "Cal-
ifornia pears" upon the labels of cans
of fruit not containing the product of
California The defendants contended
that inasmuch as none of the COM
claimants were entitled to the exclusive
use of the word california" the mere
representation of the territory on the
labels complained of did not give the
plaintiffs right to maintain an action.
Judge Morris, however, decided that
persons should not be permitted to
falsely represent their goods to be the
product of any particular locality, to
the injury of persons engaged in bust
ness in such locality This means that
fruit raised in Maryland, Delaware,
New Jersey or any other state than
California cannot be placed on the
market as California fruit.

IS 1T MALARIA OR ALUM?

Langour, loss of appetite, Indigestion
and often feverishness are the COM
mon symptoms of physiological con-
dition termed malaria" All these
symptoms may be and frequently are
the effect of the use of alum baking
powders in food making. There is no
question about the poisonous effect of
alum upon the system. 1t obstructs
digestion, prostrates the nerves, coag-
ulates and devitalizes the blood. All
this has been made clear, thanks to
physicians, boards of health, and food
commissions. So highly injurious to
the health of the community" does the
eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, Dr. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he says
their sale should be prohibited by
law"
Under these circumstances it is
worth the while of every housewife to
employ the very little care that is nee
essary to keep so dangerous an element
from the food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, which is the only kind that should
be used, ought to cost about forty five
to fifty cents a pound Therefore, if
you are paying much less, something is
wrong; if you are paying twenty-five
cents or less per pound, the powder is
certainly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in
mind when purchasing baking pow
