Charlemagne Tower, the United

has now been named as the successor
of Minister White, at Berlin, when Wis

what happened. The students were
shouting and singing in a way that

louder than ever, and dispersed only
after two or three of their leaders had

"Not even to Kate"
81 east of all to her." said Purcell,
with emphasis.
Burt turned on to the road which led
between the pond and the beach. and
Purcell walked slowly toward his
house. thankful that he could see no
light in Hates window.
"She had much better be asleep than
watching for me as she does, he
thought. "She ought to trust me-she
might know am working for her.
What was that?"
Purcell stopped suddenly as he
walked and listened. A distinct halloo
had sounded in the air--A loud, i'm
perative cry--oT had IL been his dis
turbed imagination?
He listened for moment, but he
heard nothing more, and he went on
and entered the house.
He did not stop to light lamp, but
grcped his way up TO the little room
under the roof where he slept.
AS he lay down upon his bed. he

CHAPTER ~.
The Newcomer.

"It's all a cheat" said Burt, impa-
tiently, as Purcell stood, with the pa
per in his hands, his eyes fixed vacant
ly upon it, while the shovel and pick
lay, unused, by his side. who in the
name of all that's horrid, did this deed,
don't know, and don't want to know!
Let's hurry up now and get clear of
thisi"
He seized the shovel as he finished
speaking, and began to work rapidly,
and Purcell thrust the document he
held into his pocket and mechanically
began to work, also.
Neither of the men spoke for some
time, and nothing was heard but the
sound of falling sand and the low
swash of the waves
The clouds were parting and the
stars shone forth, giving some light to
the two men. :. They did not pause
until they had carefully concealed. as
well as they could, all signs of their
work.
81 shall come here by light in the
| morning. said Burt, stamping down
the sand. Il am not going to leave this
place without fixing it so that folks
won't be likely to find out anybody's
| been to work here. 1t wouldn't be a
nice joke for anyone to discover we
| had been digging here, and then come
! prospecting about to see what we had
been doing. Ugh! It's a bad bust
ness!" and Dick Burt shuddered as he
| spoke.
l think it's our duty. Burt" said Pur-
| cell, speaking very slowly, to inform
the authorities of our discovery. It's
| about sure a crime has been commit
ted, and we ought to let them know"
"Don't you do it," cried Burt, quick
ly. 81 shan't allow 1t! What's the
| use of making a fuss about It? Then
| everybody will raise great cry as to
why we've been digging here in this
way. And what shall we tell 'em?"
Burt hal taken the right course with
Purcell. The elder man shook his
head.
"True," he said. I'VE could not tell
1 them we had been looking for treas
ure. All the men on the shore would
begin digging. No; we must keep II
to ourselves. We have made a mis-
take this time; but we'll succeed-yes
well succeed. 1t only requires pa
thence, and well be rich men yet"
Burt looked at his companion in as
| constituent He had believed that
Purcell would have given up the idea
of searching further, after such an ex.
perience as they had had that night.
He did not answer. His nerves had
been somewhat shaken, and he wanted
to be alone and think matters over. He
only said:
"Come on, now! It's time we went
home. I'll see you again in day or
two; and In the meantime want you
to promise me not to do anything about
searching for the treasure without me-
You know, we are partners"
Eyes; know. promise"
Burt was satisfied to have bis word
and the two men went forward. toward
home. AS they parted, Burt said:

Keepin the Teeth.

Use brush with bristles which are
neither too stiff nor too soft, and brush
the teeth on all sides.
The teeth should be examined at
least twice year by a competent den-
tist. They should be washed with
lukewarm water before breakfast, af
ter each meal, and before retiring.
An extremely important item in the
care of the teeth is the use of dental
floss always after eating. This, togeth.
er with soft orange-wood to0thpick
will remove every particle of food from
the teeth.
There are so many excellent denti-
frices that it IS hard to decide which
one is best. Precipitated chalk is al
ways good, and may be rubbed about
the gums after eating anything acid
and also before retiring.
Avoid exposing the teeth to extremes
of temperature. Very hot and very
cold substances have tendency to
crack the enamel. Never use metal
instrument of any kind in the mouth,
and neither bite thread nor crack nuts
with them.-February Ladies' Home
Journal.
