When he had gone, Mrs. Nolan
locked the door behind him. She
looked to see if the window-curtains
were well down and then she turned
out the electric light. The ship, Civ
ing a big roll. almost threw her off
her feet, but she held on to the bed
and crept to the closet. She gave
three soft raps, then inserted the key
and opened the door. She CROPPED

A Close Call.

A circus paid flying visit to small

price of admission was sixpence, chill

1t was Edith's tenth birthday, and,her
brother Tom, age 13, took her in the
afternoon to see the show. Arrived at
the door he put down ninepence and

That we should quickly kill and bury,
AS deadly as scorpions stings,

Some one who's even hope forgetting.

To set the hearts joy pulses beating.

CHAPTER IX.-CoNr1NuED.


On the seventh day of their voyage,
Mrs. Nolan discovered Mrs. Goddard in
the act of placing little folding deck
stool into the closet.
"What is that for?" she questioned.
"You don't suppose 1 am going to
stand. up in there all the time I am
locked in, do you?" smiled Mrs. God
dard. "There is not room enough to

Mrs. Nolan consented readily. She
seemed better at rehearsals than at
performances.

closet Mrs. Goddard was obliged to sit
sidewise, but she looked very comfort
able as she leaned back against her
gowns and skirts.

Ian, borne into hopefulness by the
breezy confidence of her friend.
Taking up her rug and book, Mrs.
Goddard went to her chair in sunny
spot on the deck. She saw the cap
tain approaching. A critical look lay
in his frank eyes, but she bent over
her book and allowed him to pass
without word. It struck him that,
having recovered from her delusion,
she was embarrassed by the remem-
brance of her wild remarks a few
days previously.

Female Legislative CLERKS.

The introduction in the Montana
house of q resolution for the appoint
ment of two more women as clerks
gave rise to an interesting discussion
the other day. One member asserted
that there were already Is women
clerks, who did little but sit around the
committee rooms all day, reading nov
els or doing fancy work, and drawing
five dollars day. Another member
told of a struggle he had to persuade
one out of bevy of Is of these clerks
to do little work for him on type

HE HAD FIGURED IT OUT.
How Lord Kelvin'A Faith in His Own
Theories Was Darlngly
illustrated.

Dord Kelvin is justly regarded as
one of the most distinguished scien-
lists of this or any other age. He is
but a little less than so years of
age, but still retains the position,
that he has held for over two-score
years, of professor of natural philos-
ophy in the University of Glasgow,
the institution where he himself was
educated. AS a professor he has some
peculiarities and one of them is the
habit of saying when doubling
question is put to him as to the alb
solute certainty of some proposition:
Didn't I figure that out myself?"
The question is not put irritably
or egotistically, as rule; it is mere
ly the natural remark of a man who
has been an acknowledged leader Of
worldwide fame for SO many years.
One day when lecturing on cleo
tricity he told his class that while
voltage of 5000 or SO would be IA
tai to a man voltage of, say, some
100000 would be perfectly harmless.
With current of far more than
ordinary voltage he was going to give
them a practical illustration of the
fact on himself, right there before
them. The students could hardly be-
ieve their ears, but as he stepped to-
ward the electrical transformer a cry
of dissent and horror went up.
"Try it on dog! Try it on an
animal!" came from all parts of the
lecture room.
Lord Kelvin turned in stiff dignity
and cast look of reproach over the
class. These were his own pupils
who were doubling hint was in his
beloved University of Glasgow. To
doubt on some minor point would not
have hurt him, but to think that they
could question the reliability of his
carefully prepared figures on matter
of such moment was really painful.
For few moments he looked at them
in silence.
didn't I figure it out mysef?" he
said at length; and then there was
only silence as he continued on his
way to the apparatus and safely
turned the tremendous voltage into
himself.

CHAPTER x.

The eighth day was characterized
by events which discouraged the pas
sengers, who were anxious to end
their long confinement to the ship.
A heavy fog had fallen during the
night and the vessel, with deafening
shrieks of the foghorn, was cropping
her way as slowly as great raft. A
delay of not less than IL hours might
be counted on, declared expert judges
of nautical matters.
Mrs. Goddard and Mrs. Nolan were
a. usual on deck sitting side by
side when the second officer passed.
He was hailed by an anxious voyager.

A woMAN,s HEART.
Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer Tells q Harrow.
ing Tale Of Suffering. -

McCarron, Mich, April 8 Especially.
Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer, of this place,
has given the following interesting
letter for publications:
"For years, suffered intense pain
in the region of the heart. doctored
with the best physicians. Some of
them would relieve me for short
time, but the'pain always returned.

them. From the first my condition inn

~ grew less, and my general health
much better, and now can say posi-
lively that am entirely cured. can
sleep all night, and enjoy almost per-
feet health. I thank God for the cure
that has come to me through the use
of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
81 have thought long over the mat
ter of giving this letter for publica-
ton, and am now doing so without any
solicitation whatever, and simply be-
cause feel it to be my duty to express
the profound gratitude I feel for my
recovery, and to let others who may
be suffering as I was know how they
may find a cure. I know that nothing
else but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me,
because I have taken no other med
icine for over year. I feel better now
than have for many years, and it IL
all due to the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills."
Mrs. Dyer's case and its cure has nt-
tracted great deal of attention, and
her letter is splendid tribute to the
curative properties of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.

fallen had. the two men not supported
her between them.
Overheard? Who's overheard ?''
Numbered the captain.
''Mrs. Goddard" gasped Mrs. Nolan.
"She sprang up! I was in my room!
She opened the door! I was Just
in time to see her break from the
room! She said something was after
her-trying to kill her! She sprang
over there-there! L had caught hold
of her dress, but she tore loose!'
Here Mrs. Nolan began to show
signs Of hysteria. The captain swore
roundly. He dragged the woman to
the door of her stateroom, gave one
hurried look round the room and
then saying to the sailor: ~'Take care
of her." he was off to stop the ship.
A moment later the bell rang sharp
ly. The engines were reversed and
the ship foundered helplessly, dan
gerously, in the trough of the sea-
The boat-gang clattered up from be-
low and there was a faint, storm
muffled shouting of commands as a
boat was being lowered.
TOO late!" yelled the captain. ''This
sea would send us to the bottom! Moth
ing can be done now!"
There was moments pause in the
noisy manipulation of ropes and tackle.
then the sailors drew the boat back to
its place and fastened it there. The
ships engines throbbed sluggishly and
there was an attempt. perhaps only for
the sake of appearances, to send the
ship back in the vicinity of the spot
where it was when the alarm was
given; but dangerous headwinds rem
dered this impracticable. In few min
utes the Cleopatra was forging ahead
as If nothing unusual had happened.
Mrs. Nolan refused to- remain in her
stateroom. She escaped the sailor
when his back was turned and ran
along the deck wringing her hands and
wailing. A group of passengers had
ventured to the head of the stairs and
stood shivering in the wind and spray.
A woman in this group caught Mrs.
Nolan in her arms and tried to console
her.
Don't take on she said. "You are
not to blame. She was crazy as loon.
She told me to-day that the captain had
been hired by some enemy to put her
in irons. What did her folks mean bv
sending her over with just you-such a
frail woman?"
''Oh, 1 don't know, don't ask mel"
cried Mrs. Nolan. "She's dead, oh, she's
dead!".
The captain was approaching and
Mrs. Nolan showed signs of Mysteries
again.
"I'll take her to her state-room," said
the woman.
II wish you would" said the captain,
with an oath. "She's as crazy as her
mistress!"
The woman who had proffered her
kind offices accompanied Mrs. Nolan to
the state-room.
'Now, try not to think of it," she
said. II know it is awful, but the poor
thing is better off as she is than to go
on having such strange notions. Of
course, mean if there was no cure for
her, and there seldom is, you know"
Mrs. Nolan, now that she had such
easy credulity to play upon, saw the

BLOATER PASTE.

Ed. FISHERMAN & FARMER,
| desire to direct the attention
Of our North Carolina fish -rmen

them in the conversion of the

herring freed from bones and

ish Of superior quality. Through
Mir. A. G.. (Abram) Bush Of
EdeDton, and by his courtesy.
I have had a sample recently
and find that It is in all respects
first class food article. Its con-
venient form gives it every adj
want &c to consumers over the
salt herring II barrels.
The 8loater or English smok-
cd herring was sold here at

their quality and to contrast
them with our home smoked

pies Of the latter prepared by
Mr.. !. K. Rea Of Edenton and
believe them, when fresh, (as
these are) just as good as the
English Bloater. Mr. Henry A
Bond Of Edenton says that the
flavor Of a smoked herring de-
pends largely on the kind OF
wood used to create the smoke
which I believe tc be true.
The BlOater Paste retails d
price Of nearly two dollars q
pound. | think that the import
duty is ifiy cents advalore1n OF
that amount OF the dollar s
worth. Dedrcting tbs and the
retailers and jobbers profits from
the price named, there would
still seem to be a large profit to

American product. Our refrig-

The North Carolina catch
amounts to about s. million fish

pounds. For this product we
get but eight tenths of a cent
