Enderby knew every word he had

hatred had become deepened into
something vindlctive and malignant

by accident than choice, Dalton had

How Plants Gain weight.

AS far as is known the first botani-
cal experiment ever performed was
conducted by a Dutchman. He placed
in a pot 200 pounds Of dried earth,
and in it he planted a willow branch
which weighed five pounds. He kept
the whole covered up and daily wa
tered the earth with rainwater. After
five years growth the willow was
again weighed and was found to have
gained 164 pounds. The earth in the
pot was dried and weighed and had lest
only two ounces. The experimental
list, therefore, looked upon this expert
ment as supporting the theory that
plants required no food but water. But
he was wrong. Later it was discov-
cred that much of the increase in
weight of plants was derived from car
bonic acid gas in the air. Vegetable
cells contain liquid known as cell
sap which is water holding in solu-
ton various materials which have
been taken up from without by the
roots and leaves. Thus it is in the
living cells of the plant that those
digestive" processes are carried on
which were once believed to occur in
the soil.

CHAPTER LII.

II Was lNO udyS dINeI the IccepllOH
at the West End mansion OF Sir Henry
Lennox, the well-known Queens Coun.
sci, who was considered one Of the
wealthiest men connected with the
legal profession.
Enderby had seen Cecil Lennox but
for a few minutes. but she had then
been able to utter the words that
thrilled Enderby through as no other
words could have done.
Come to see me on Friday. 1t Is
not my day at home, but l shall be
at home-to you"
Paul Enderby was thirty, was a bar.
rister, and was prosaic, yet his heart
and pulses throbbed like those of a
sentimental boy of twenty as he was
admitted into the presence of Cecil
LennoX.
She was certainly a very beautiful
woman. AS she came forward to greet
him, her tea-gown Of pale seagreen
and billowy lace falling in graceful
folds about her, Enderby thought that
no woman who ever lived could have
excelled her in beauty and grace. But
there were others who might have
thought that the beauty Of Cecil Len
nox-of the soft, eXquisitely tinted
face, of the rounded chin and throat,
the red-lipped, smiling mouth, the
deep, changeful, soft, violet eyes-had
something sensuous and voluptuous in
it.
Enderby did not think so. He loved
the woman-or was 1t the woman he
imagined her to be?-and that was
enough.
Cecil let her soft little hand lie in
mis- for a moment. then she drew him
towards the silk-covered couch from
which she had risen.
ut was good of you to come" she
said, in her low, caressing voice. eve
shall have tea presently l suppose
] needn't ask you how you enjoyed
my crush? People never do enjoy
brushes. Why do we give them at
all? Oh. l often wish l had the cour-
age Of my convictions, and could throw
eff this yoke of social fashions and
conventions, and be what should like
best to be-a simple human being,
asking 10 my house only those | really
cared for, and being able to inter
change thought and friendly kindness
with thsm!'
AS matter of fact, Miss Lennox
would not have given up her Social
fashions and conventions" for any
thing that could have been given her
in exchange. But she was clever
enough to suit her tastes, as we'll as
her conversation, to the individual
characters of her companions.

Pekin with the American troops, but
he will so to SHANGHAI, where he viii.
be under the protection of the Ameri-
can warships. He will remain there
Indefinitely and perform his diplomatic
duties from that point. President Me
Kinley does not propose to become en-
tangled with the Europeans in a dip
lomatic squabble. He foresaw THAI
difficulty arrives there was likely To
be such a condition of affairs as exists
today-namely: that each of the Euro
pean nations would be afraid to make
move because of suspicion of the
others.
The news received here that Prince
Ching has returned to Pekin is OF che
most encouraging nature, as it win be
observed that Prince Ching has been
ordered by the emperor to return TO
Pekin and arrange affairs there.
London, Sept 11.-Muddle is the only

tions of the powers are as varied ana

Mr.. Major the famous cement man OF New

about Majors Cement.
The multitldtS who use this standard
article know that ii is many hundred per
cent. better than other dement's for which
know why. The simple reason is that Mr.
Major uses the best materials ever discovered
ana other manufactures do not use thcm
because they are too expensive and do not
allow large profits Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements OF his cement costs 81 "a
Il pound, and another costs s. G1 Il gallon
while II large share of The SO-calIcd cpmcntS
ana liquid glue upon the market are nothing
more than siNtccn-ccnt glue, dissolved in
water or critic acid. and in some cases alter
ed slightly in color and Odor by the addition
of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement rctails nj fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents Il bottle. and when Il dealer
tries to sell Il substitute YOU can depend upon
il that his only object is to make larger
profits
The profit on Majors cement is as much MS
any dealer ought to make on any cement
And this is doublytrucin view of the fact that
each dealer gets his share of the benefit of
Mr.. Majors advertising. which now amounts
to over 5000 month, throughout the coun-
try. Established in 1876.
