since they had made the ghastly dis
covery in the jungle, the latter had
been more silent even than the gravity
of the situation demanded. Now he
sat, nursing his rifle, listening to the
mysterious voices of the Jungle, and
thinking as if for dear life. Meanwhile
his companions slept soundly on, Sc

over them.
At last Hayle rose to his feet.

himself, as he went softly across to
where Kitwater was lying. 1T must
be now or never!"
Kneeling beside the sleeping man,
he felt for the packet of precious
stones they had that day obtained.
Having found it he transferred it to
his own pocket. and then returned to
his former position as quietly as he
had come. Then, having secured as
much of their store of ammunition a
he could conveniently carry, together
with supply of food sufficient to last
him for several days, he deserted his
post, abandoned his friends and dis

A Car Load of Dimes.

One would naturally think that the pack.
age dye business was small industry, but
there IS more than one million dollars worth
OF package dyes sold in the United States
every year
One of the largest package dye factories
IN the world is that Of the Putnam FadcIess
Dyes Co., Umonyille, Mo. In this factory
alone, three million packages of Putnam
Fadeless Dyes are made every year. TO
put up this amount OF dyes requires the
handling of seven million of envelopes, think
OF 1t, seven millions of envelopes laid length
wise would reach a distance of seven hun
dred miles; If laid one upon the other they
would make a pile of Putnam Fadeless DYES
a niles high. As each envelope has to be
handled five times before package is com
plete, the completion of three millions of
packages requires that they be handled
thlrty-five, million times This of course
gives employment to a number of people
the Putnam Fadeless Dye Company alone
employ. almost hundred people, 80 per
cent. OF whom are young ladies.
AS each package retails for Zoe the weight

the two Englishmen, reached the
cluster of huts, he was carried to a
small room at the end of the officers

After a little brandy had been ad-

will be a romance dealing with life in
Indiana, in the vicinity of Terre Haute
during the time of the Mexican war,
and it will convey not a few of its in
cidents to the famous Catholic school
near Terre Haute, "St Marys of the
Woods" The book, however, Mr..
Harrington insists, will not be classed
as historical romance. This he says
in the face of anticipating critics who
have endeayored to predict the char
acter of the work.
The love story is delicately woven
round the lives of girl studying at the
Catholic institution and young man
of the clear-brained, horny
class peculiar to the early period of
Indiana's history.

Rossetti in seIf-Defcnse

Toward the latter part of Rosetti's
life he rarely left his house and gar
den. He depended upon a close circle
of friends for society, and in his own

ances by appointment, and woe betide

One day an enterprising man called

PART III.

The sun was slowly sinking behind
the dense wall of jungle which
hens in, on the southern side, the
frontier station of Nampoung. In
the river below there is a ford,
which has a distinguished claim
on fame, inasmuch as it is one
of the gateways from Burmah
into western China. This ford is
guarded continually by a company
of Sillhs, under the command of an
English officer. TO be candid, it is
not a post that is much sought after.
Its dullness is extraordinary. True.
one can fish there from morning un-
til night, if one is so disposed; and if
one has the good fortune to be a bot
anist, there is an incxhaustible field
open for study. 1t is also true that
Nampoung is only so miles or so. as
the crow flies, from Bhamo, and when
one has been in the wilds, and out
of touch of civilization for months
at a time, Bhamo is by no means a
place to be despised. SO thought
Gregory, of the One Hundred and
Twenty-third regiment, as he threw
his line into the pool below him.
"It's worse than dogs life" he
said to himself, as he looked at the
ford hundred yards or so to his
right, where, at the moment, his sub
altern was engaged levying toll up
on some Yunnan merchants who
were carrying cotton on pack mules
into China. After that he glanced
behind him at the little cluster of
buildings on the hill, and groaned
once more. II wonder what they are
doing in England" he continued.
Trout fishing has just begun, and
can imagine the dear old governor at
the Long pool, rod in hand. The
girls will stroll down in the after
noon to find out what sport he has
had, and they'll walk home across
the park with him, while the mater
will probably meet them half way.
And here am ] in this God-forsaken
hole with nothing to do but to keep
an eye on that ford there. Bhamo

came 10 his death by a bullet wound inflicted
at the Glen Island Hotel on February IA.
Now. as to the second ground on which Mr..
Backus asks for dismissal. that there is not
enough evidence to connect this defendant with
the crime charged There is testimony TO show
that intimate relations existed between this de-
fendant and Walter Brooks. 1t is not within
my province to say that these relations were
anything but legitimate, nor is there any evil
Gence 10 support any such contention"
The Justice said that Ayre's testimony and
the testimony about the threats the girl had
made to kill Walter Brooks could ne important
and relevant only if it could be proved that the
girl had been at the Glen Island Hotel on the
fatal night. He pointed out that if the girl had
been anxious TO kill Brooks she could have done
that without waiting so long. for instance, when
she slept under the same roof as he. as his
home. where the evidence had shown the
strongest threats to have been made.

defendant

whispered to the Burns girl at his side. and she
smiled, too Next, the justice severely arraigned
the detectives in the case. He said their testi-
mony had shown entire oblivion to the order
of events. There was excuse for this. he
added. 1t was their business to remember; that
was what they paid for.
The magistrate then pointed out that the girl
had admitted she had been with Brooks al $50
on the night OF the murder, and that Weihel. the
conductor had seen her about IL o'clock IF
the time intervening cannot be filed in by the
prosecution" he continued, the case for the
people falls to the ground. There is only the
testimony of one person to fill in that time, and
that is the testimony of George Washington
When all is said and done, therefore. the testt-
mOny Of George Washington is the testimony on
which this case must be decided.
Justice Mayer then drew attention 10 the de-
scription the bellboy had given Of Florence
Burns when he had said she dark. and the
circumstances under which he later had identi-
fed the girl at the police station That this
girl could be mistaken for one of dark COM
plexion even by a beIlboy at the Glen Island
