CHAPTER LvII.
Hide and Seek.

Bells professional enthusiasm got
the better of his curiosity for the mo-
ment. 1t was a nice psychological
problem. Already Steel was impuls-
lively busy in the conservatory pulling
the pots down. 1t was a regretful
thing to do, but everything had to be
sacrificed. David shut his teeth grim
ly and proceeded with his task.
what on earth are you doing?" Bell
asked with a smile.
Pulling the place to pieces" David
responded. Il daresay shall feel
pretty sick about it later on; but the
thing has to be done. Cut those wires,
please, and let those creepers down as
tenderly as possible. We can't get to
the big pots uitil we have moved the
little ones"
Bell coolly declined to do anything
OF the kind. He surveyed the two
graceful banks of flowers there, the
carefully-trained creepers, trailing so
naturally and yet SO artistically, from
the rof to the ground, and the sight
pleased him.
my dear chap" he said, 81 am not
going to sit here and allow you to de-
stroy the work of so many hours.
There Is not the slightest reason to
disturb anything. Unless am greatly
mistaken, Van Sneck will lay his hand
upon the ring for us without so much
as the sacrifice of blossom"
II don't fancy So" Van Sneck re-
piled. 81 can't remember"
well, you are going to-" Bell said,
cheerfully. did you ever hear of art

1.-THE sort of thing you get in law
courts and political speeches?" David
suggested. "All the same, IL you have
some patent way of getting at the
facts, shall only be too glad to spare
my poor flowers. Their training has
been labor Of love with me-"
Bell smoked on, quietly for some
time. He toyed with the red blossoms
which had so stimulated Van Sneck's
recollection, then tossed a spray over
to Van Sneck and suggested that the
latter should put 1t in his button-hole

Van Sneck obeyed, quietly, remark
ing that the scent was very pungent
The Dutchman was restless and i'll al

with himself--he had the air Of man
who has set out with two or three ex
tremely important matters Of business
and who has completely forgotten
what one of them is.

They were pounding through the vii

cry of distress, but nothing came of IL
but the mocking echo of his own voice
from distant belt of trees. Merritt
shot out a short, sneering laugh. He
had not expected fragrant cowardice

forward and caught Henson by the tail

With howl OF fear, the latter tore
himself away, and Merritt reeled back.

big stone, and at the same moment
Henson trod on a hedge stake. He
grabbed 1t up and half-turned on his
foe. But the sight of Merritt's grim
face was too much for him, and he
turned and resumed his fight once
more.
He yelled again, as he reached the
lodge gates, and the only response
was the barking and bowling of the
dogs In the thick underwood beyond.
There was no help for it. Doubtless
the deaf old lodgekeeper had been in
bed hours ago. Even the dogs were

Meanwhile Henson Numbered on,
blindly, fully under the impression
that Merritt was still upon his trail.

parts grown, rose, and playfully pulled
at his coat. 1t was sheer play, but at
the same time 1t was terrible handi.

go, say! Very well, take that"
He paused and brought the heavy
stake down full upon the dogs muzzle.
There was a snarling scream of pain,
and the big pup sprang for his as.

and seemed to take in the situation at

The worrying teeth had been firmly

world dwindled to thick sheet OF

The elCigarette Habit.

- H. risk, the head of the pre-
paratory department of the
~ Northwestern Unlversity,o
of the leading institutions
of learning in that progressive section,
says the Washington Post, is convinc-
ed that the cigarette habit results in
both physical and moral deterioration.
This conviction is so thoroughly es-
tablished in the mind of the veteran
the school who cannot or will not give
up cigarettes to leave, and further
offers to refund all that has been paid
in fees or tuition to such students.
The Post does not profess to be an
authority on the question raised by
this striking incident, but no mtelli-
gent mind can fail to be seriously i'm
pressed by the course which DIR. Fisk
has taken, and in many minds hitherto
undecided firm conviction is likely to
result from the statistical facts which
DR.. Fisk presents. He has prepared
statistics covering u period of several
years, showing that of the boys who
SlllOhtJ oIilS pSI tSht. are dliOIS tHe
% per cent. of students who stand
highest in class scholarship. On the
other hand, 81 per cent. of the smokers
are among the % per cent. lowest in
class scholarships.
That is Il kind of argument which is
not easily refuted and it is backed by
an overwhelming preponderance Of
scientific opinion. Anti-cgarette legs-
lation-the prohibition of the sale OF
cigarettes to children-has almost in
variably had the earnest support of the
leading medical practitioners. But DR..
Fisk goes further than appears In
those figures. 1t is stated that at the
present time the boys in his school
who smoke are entirely incapable OF
passing examinations or keeping up in
their studies. And here is an addition
al assertion of great weight: Two out
of every nine boys in the school con-
fess that they smoke cigarettes, and
not one is in good Standing in his
classes.
In this city the cigarette habit among
boys, many of them not long out OF
the nursery, is widely prevalent, and
one need not investigate extensively
in order to be convinced that it is de-
structive of their physical health, and
therefore inimical to sound mental de-
VeloDment
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-03-07

Is about the number required for a
representative in congress from the
states. She has been n territory for
over half n century. Oklahoma had
39S, 900 inhabitants in 1900, or enough to
entitle her to two votes in the house of
representatives, though she has beer u
territory for only dozen years.
Arizona Is the smallest of all the ter
ritories, having only 10000 population
at the time the census was taken two
years ago. AS her growth in the
decade, however was 1O5 per cent, the
chances are that she has in the neigh
borhood of 10000 people now. The
outlook for all these territories is
bright This is particularly true of
Oklahoma. AS the silver issue has
been shelved for good there will be but
little incentive for opposition to the ad-
mission of these territories. Partisan
reasons the Globe-Democrat thinks,
may sway some votes, and this may
delay the admission of some of the
three. Oklahoma, even with the new
accessons made to her population in
1901, is likely to be carried by the Re
publicans, though the Democrats have
the better chance in both Arizona and
New Mexico. Counting four electoral
votes for Oklahoma and three each for
the other two territories, the Demo-
Gratis would gain two votes for Presi-
dent by the admission of the three ter
rltories, yet this will hardly be suilici-
ent to give them the election.
