ENJOIN COLORADO.
Irrigation Problem May Be Solved il
New WAY.

Governor Stanley and Attorney General
GODDARD have consented to the use Of the
name of the state in a suit brought in
the United States court by Gleed, Ware &
Greed, to enjoin the state of Colorado
from permitting the issuance of additional
privileges for the use of the water Of the
Arkansas river in that state.
This suit is brought for the purpose Of
limiting the use of the waters of the river
in Colorado to domestic purposes so that
the supply in Kansas for irrigation and
other purposes will not be exhausted by
preventing the waters to follow their nat
ural course.
Attorney General Goddard will file the
suit in Washington, having already start

pose.

CHAPTER XIV.

March had announced, in name at
least, and in name alone, springs ad-
vent, ere Helen Reynolds fears con-
corning the man who. held such terrible
power over her, were realized.
AS the slow weeks had dragged
themselves along. she felt that each
snapped asunder thread which held
her suspended over an awful abyss.
She was growing hard and desperate
under the cruel strain. She sometimes
wondered if her mind would not give
way beneath it.
Day by day her wicked love was
kindled; day by day, as she watched
Harvey Barclays attentions in the
;guise Of friendship toward Grace, she
famed the fire of hate toward its inno-
cent cause.
1t was the 10th of the month, and as
she sat before the fire, hugging its
warmth and the misery of her own
thoughts; while without the cold winds
blew and the cold rains fell, the butler
entered, bearing on the salver in his
hand a note.
She had not seen the inscription, she
had not touched the paper, but she
knew that the sword had fallen. She
knew that this was message from her
past; she knew that 1t was the silent
Voice of her master: she knew that

corc Of Cbi1drcn.s Teeth.

That children should be taught to
take care of their teeth has frequently
been maintained by the physicians OF
this country, and that such advice is
salutary is evident from an investiga-
ton which has recently been held in
Schleswig- Holstein in regard to the
condition of the teeth of the children
attending the schools of that country.
The number Of children examined was
1925, of whom 9,145 We're girls and TO-
$50 boys. OF this number, IS per cent
were found to have teeth which were
more or less diseased. Only 218 Of these
children had ever been treated by dent
lists, and only 10 per cent of them had
been taught to use tooth brushes.
The dentists of Observation-Disclosures
have published these startling facts.
and have petitioned the government to
pass an ordinance requiring the school
authorities to give some attention to
the teeth of the children under their
care.

n,an,t Know It In italian.

DR.. Henry j. Bigelow, the eminent
Roston surgeon, was very fond of mu-
sic and knew something of it theoret-
ically-enough, at least, to carry in his
head the tunes he liked. Street must
clans were used to his requests for re-
peating a melody, but in one case ne
had some difficulty in tracing song
which he wished to procure for him.
self.
His quick ear had caught a new air
upon a hand organ, and he at once
asked the Italian grinder it's name,
The man could not speak word OF
English, and it was only with difficulty
that DR.. Bigelow learned the title OF
the tune and wrote it down-Silva tredj
mon digo.
Then he went to music shop and set
the clerk upon it's trail.
Nobody could guess what it might be
and one Italian collection after anoth-
err was overhauled, until at last all the
clerks in the shop We're brought into
requisition. Finally, one of them had
a bright thought.

Injury or Death frequently Follow Par
oxysms of Rage.
A study of anger from experiences
in about 1000 cases, collected from re-
liable observers, has been made by
G. Stanley Hall. The cases were many
and various, often being trivial, and
the physical sensations accompanying
it differed greatly with the Individual.
Flushing was very general, although
pallor was a characteristic in 81 per
cent of the cases. The heart beats were
violent, several cases of death from
rupture of this organ being reported,
and there were sometimes peculiar
sensations in mouth and throat, some
times dizziness or faintness, frequent
ly tears and generally copious sail
walton, which might produce frothing
at the mouth. Common sounds were
animal-like cries in children and oaths
and threats in adults, while in many
cases the throat was paralyzed and
there was inability to speak above a
whisper or without crying or tremb-
ling. Butting with the head, biting
and scratching are noticeable in child
ish anger.

The Penetrating Coin.

A trick that is very simple, requires
no preparation, and yet is remarkably
effective, is called "The Penetrating
Coin" A borrowed Derby hat is
placed on the mouth of an ordinary
tumbler. Three half-dollars are bor-
rowed and tossed into the hat, when
one of the coins is seen to penetrate
the hat, dropping visibly and audibly
into the glass underneath. To per-
form this trick you need half-dollar
of your own, which, of course, is not
known to your audience. While plac-
ing the hat on the opening of the
glass, secretly and noiselessly slip this
coin between the rim of the glass and
the hat, the weight of the latter keep
ing the coin in position. The execu-.
ton of this movement is simplicity
itself, as the coin is inserted on the
side of the hat that is farthest from,
the audience; besides, you hold the
hat with both hands, and appear to take
great care that it should be placed
evenly on the glass. Two or three.
trials will convince the reader that he
has nothing to fear in performing this;
movement. Take your three coins
and drop them into the hat. The jar,
releases the concealed coin, and 1t:
falls into the glass. The Illusion Gre
ated is perfect. In returning the coins
do not exhibit the extra coin. The.
best way is to leave the fourth coin
in the hat until it can be safely re-
moved.

he that he had been tempted into the
, further Involving Of any portion Of her
fortune?
He put the idea from him. almost as
1t was conceived. but its shadow, new
ertheless, darkened his face. as. when
Grace rose from her seat, he followed
her to the door.
"Grace," he said, OBTAINING her for
moment as she was passing out, Il
don't know what father meant Just
now. but I hope you will not find 1t
necessary to economic in any OF your
expenditures, or to account for your
extrayagances. I know no one more
entitled to them"
Did he fear, she wondered, that she
would betray to his father to what use
she had put the money?
He must know, then, that 1t had
come from her. Did he believe she
would not keep his secret to the death:
Yet the fact that this ignoble secret
was hers to keep, and her belief that IN
his words she read silent prayer for
it's preservation, brought an uncon-
scious scorn into her eyes, and It's
him:
II Will reNOeF your AdSuCi AAo oS
count" she said. proudly, NOR Will ne
ask for one. Your anxiety Is needless"
Something like a knife cut into Harry
Reynolds heart, as the girl passed on.
He slowly closed the door behind her,
and went back to his seat.
What had happened? What had
changed Grace, his little child-sweet-
heart, into the cold, scornfui woman
tnfPTs
ference in her affairs.
He felt at once angry and i'll at ease:
He little dreamed Of the hot tears OF
disappointment which welled into the
girls eyes at the fancied change IN
him. She brushed them away as she
entered the library, and, coming behind
her guardian, twfned her arms ABOUT
his neck.
He raised his hand and drew her
down beside him.
