Accustomed as she had been to the

her now very hard that this power
must pass from her into stranger

For some time past it had been
dawning upon Sir Leonard that, with
all his daughters beauty and accom-

unframed. BY this time he had begun

EATING lllIR PECK O. DIRT.
In Some Parts of the World There is
Reason for the Practice.

However opinions may differ as to
the desirability of earth eating as a
habit, it appears to lend itself to fine
shades Of discrimination in the palate
of its yotaries In one of the southern
states a negro clay-eater who was EN-
ployed as a scrub woman has devoured
some of the finest specimens Of
kaolin on exhibition in the state geo
logical r.useum. Five blocks Of clay
which were very highly valued on ac-
count of their purity were missed by
the state geologist, who found on other
specimens the impressions Of teeth
Detectives were set to work on the
case and the theft was traced to a
negress who scrubbed the marble floors
of the museum She confessed that
she was a regular clay-eater, and hay-
ing been tempted to taste the argillace-
Gus specimens ranged on the shelves,
she found them SO smooth and rich in
flavor as to be irresistible. In this
country the clay-eater is usually a per-
son Of wretchCd complexion and miser-
able physique capable of little self
control and despised by his fellows,
but in some parts of the world earth
deposits occupy an important pact in
the dietary list.

CHAPTER III.
Helen Digby.

Helen Dl3Dy.
Through the great lanes, where the
hedges were one mass Of bloom, where
the hawthorn gave out its fragrance,
and the woodbines trailed their long
sprays, where starry primroses from
their green leaves looked like great
golden stars, where the purple yiolets
hid themselves between the fern
leaves, where the tall trees met over
head, and the sunshine, passing
through the thick branches, fell in
golden splendor-through the ancient
woods, ringing with the musical song
of the birds, great sheets of wild hya-
cinths and bluebells, which stretched
out like the waves of blue sea, stir

But neither the smiles of the sun,
nor the song of the birds, nor the

brightness TO Ethel Gordon, More

Miss Gordon made no reply. In her
heart she rebelled with the fiercest re-
bellion against her fathers decree; in
her heart she had resolved never to

to himself; so that during her me-

Then Lady Angela died, leaving one

She was always beautiful; she had

had all the virtues and many of the
failings that characterized her race.

OBITUARY NOTES.


Death OF george n. haihes III IfAhs.
Many will regret the death of George
A. Haines, a former resident of this
city, which occurred at San Antonio,
Tex, yesterday. Mr.. Haines was about
thrty-fve years Of age and early In
the eighties was employed as cashier
at the office of the New Haven division
Of the Southern New England Tele-
phone company. He afterward was
connected with the Chicago salesrooms
of Shoninger & Co., the piano manu-
facturers Of this city. Several years
ago Mr.. Haines was afflicted with
disease which made it necessary for
him to undergo an operation. This was
successful. He came back here and was
with F.. M. Brown e. Co., but after
some months he was stricken with
pulmonary disease. He went to Pasa-
dena Cal, and from there removed to
Texas, where he died. He leaves be-
sides his widow, who was Miss Grace
Lincoln of this city, his mother and two
brothers, who are in the west The
remains will be brought here for inter-
ment
