SPARED THEIR LIVES.
An YLteresting Story of the Kindness of
 the Late President Heureaux.

An Yrteresting Story of the Kindness of
 the Late President Heureaux.
 Some years ago conspiracy headed by several prominent young men of tht Santo Domingo republic, who hoped te gain wealth and position through the death of Heureaux, attempted to take his life and start a revolution. Their plot was eleverly planned and seem- ugly sure Of success, for the president showed no suspicious, continuing his customary mode of life, walking and driving throughout the city as usual without guards, although at that time he was fully posted In every detail of their scheme, and when their plans were fully matured and their time for action at hand he had them all arrest ed and thrown into the dungeons oi the old Notifications. The penalQ for crimes of this sort is always death, so soon after their arrest they were drawn up in line on the old parade grounds within the walls of the old fort and told to prepare for death, after which the firing squad lined up III lIOut OI IASA4 eAo nNAS CAoS1SN " fire. AS they did so only one man fell The president, who was witness. then stepped forward and said: My children, you have attempted to ruin your country and take my life, and for this you are legally subject to death, but I do not want to see you die so young. That man on the ground had to give up his life to pay the penalty .or his misdeeds. If you ever plot against me again you will be where he is. Look at him, remember what l have said, and then go. for you are free"
 An Attempt tn Exterminate Brigands.
 A vigorous attempt has recently been made to exterminate the Sicilian brig ands. The notorious Elias hand was so powerful that even great landed proprietors, farmers and mayor aided the brigands in their sinister designs in order to secure immunity for them selves. At last they were hunted to earth In the solitudes of Mont Dorgolai, In the province of Nuoro, and one after another they were shot down by the Italian troops.

CHAPTER K.

Ten minutes had gone by since the
noise of the closing of the street door
told Helen Reynolds that Harvey Bar
clay had left the house.
But the marble statue, glowing white
at the far end of the room in which
she sat, was no more motionless than
she. Not an eyelash quivered, not
muscle moved one could scarce mark
the measure of her breathing.
i. But, suddenly, there was a change.
she sprang to her feet, and looked
about her like some wild animal who
makes discovery that it is Gagged.
'This is worse than the old life!"
she muttered, low-"darker than the
old days!"
Up and down the limits of the room
she paced, trying to recover her calm.
1t was impossible, and at any moment
some of the family might return. She
| must not meet them now; she must be
alone-alone to think-alone to realize
this terrible new burden cast upon her
the burden which as yet was a shape
less mass in her brain, but " hen formed.
as it must be, must inevitably wear the
form of infamy.
With swiftly-aying feet she hurried
up the stairs.
A minute later, wrapped in furs, a
thick veil over her face, she passed out
into the street. Mechanically she di-
rected her steps toward Lafayette
Square.
Except few hurried pedestrians, it
was likely, on this cold January after
noon, to be nearly vacant.
It was almost mile distant from the
house. but the walk, the rapid motion.
offered her the only relief now possible
for her to find.
"He will forge Grace Hawthorne's
name; or use Harry's innocent sigma
ture as forgery, and then. when 1t Is
discovered, my husband will be be-
lieved the guilty one, cannot-oh, I
cannot do it! And if I refuse?"
She closed her eyes and walked on a
moment in her voluntary blindness,
trying to shut from her vision the pic
ture ,her imagination painted as that
refusals consequence-the picture Of
Harvey Barclays handsome, white
dead face!
Merciful God! What would life be
without him? And after all. within
the allotted time. he had promised to
make it right-promised to redeem the
money to take.up the note. And, II he
failed. Grace rwou!d never prosecute
| Harry. The affair never would be
known beyond the limits Of the little
household.

Swedish superstitions.

In Sweden. youth as we'll as mafdens
test the potency of love charms by
gathering nine kinds of flowers, which
they place under their pillows, and the
one dreamed of is the favored one.
Young men also look for fernseed at
midnight, for its magical power in cap
turing the hearts of shy or obdurate
maidens. Fernseed so procured also
avails to make it's possessor invisible.
Young girls get the hard root of mug
wort, which is called coal, and put it
under their pillows. in order to dream
of their lovers.
Pluck rose, hide it, unseen, in pa

it be found fresh as when gathered, the

How the Chinese Telegraph.

The curious part of the Chinese tele-
graph system is the fact that, even in
the interior, where there are no foreign
ers, all the telegraph blanks are printed
in English. The Chinese language, be-
ing Geographic, having character for
each word, it is impossible to transmit
it by the ordinary Morse signals. 1t is,
therefore, necessary to telegraph either
in foreign language or by using Ara
bic numerals. BY the latter method a
Chinese dictionary is taken and num-
Der given to each word at all likely to
be used in a telegraph dispatch.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

How China Wa. Explored.

AS far back as 1916 English explorers
began their work in Southern China,
for in that year Amherst made jour-
ney along the banks of the Pekiang, a
northern tributary Of the Sikiang,
sometimes called the River Of Canton;
but Mccartney had already done valu-
able work up the same stream in 1898.
1t was not, however, until the early
part Of the second half Of the century
in the '6Os-that systematic explora-
ton Of that part of China was under
taken. During that decade the south
western and southern provinces were
regularly quartered out by English ex-
plorers.-st. Louis Post Dispatch.
