.'Oh. God he gasped. what have I
done?"
The eyes still burned into his soul
awfully, insistentIy.
As he stood there, racked in mind
and soul, it seemed to him that his
deeds passed before him in review.
He saw how the Beast of Greed had
broken down the barriers of virtue,
how it had secured him with chains,
link by link. until Low he was bound
hand and foot; he saw with his souls
e. the image the Beast gloating
over hin, yes, even fattening on his

chain? Then. with a diabo1ical swift
ness and seeming knowing skill of
their own, other thoughts filled his
mind He thought of the ease he
could enjoy, the open house he could
keep, the eiegent furnishings. the fine
dinners, the sense of ease and e1e-
gance he would fave, and of a beau
tful woman who, perhaps. would
some da-- sit at his side. before this
very fire with him.
AS these thoughts filled his brain
his heart was tortured and wrenched
by the sight of those eyes, which now,
after momentary dul1ing of their
keenness, seemed to burn into his soul,
until they seemed to grow and come
nearer, to scorch him with their

clasping and unclasping- His mouth
curved down, and deep lines furrowed

In spite Of the precious jewel which

Catch the ring.

In order to play this capital game,
the chairs are placed in a circle, just
SO far apart that each person sitting
can easily reach the hand of another
on either side of him On person
stands in the. middle OF the circle. A
piece of string with a wedding ring
or larger ring Of brass upon it. is
then tied, Of sufficient length to
reach all around the circle, SO that
each person may catch hold Of it. The
players are then to slide the ring
along the string, passing it from one
to the other, and the game is for the
person who stands in the center to
try to catch the ring. When he
catches it, the person with whom he
finds it is to go out into the center

Mystery of the Dew.

After a clear, still night every
grassblade hangs thick with dewdrops,
while the roads and gravel paths re-
main perfectly dry Did it ever occur
to you to wonder why this was so?
The fact is that dew is most readily
deposited upon cold surfaces by the
air which contains it The slender
blades of grass and leaves give up the
warmth they have gained during the
day more easily than do stones and
earth. and so they gather more moist
ure from the atmosphere.

Birds Are Careless Buuders.

however. usually borrow a rabbit bur

them against trying to experiment

The auks are birds of the northern

Of all the feathered tribes. Their short
wings look in fact far more like fins
than wings, and unlike gu11s, the auks
catch their prey beneath the water.
The auk's selection of spot to lay
her eggs is very strange. She chooses
a bare, broken ledge of hard rock
overhanging the waves. 1t looks as
though it were a feat to balance eggs
in such a place, and the marvel is that
the first gale does not send them
rolling over the crags- But an auk's
eggs are so shaped as to prevent such
one end than at the other, and so in
stead of rolling straight ahead like
ball they turn around in a circle
when started and SO keep their places
upon the rocks.

Why DISEASES BECOME CHRONIC.
Nerve Force Regarded by Scientist az
More important than the Blood.
A $500 TREATMENT FREE.

The blood was formerly regarded as
the life giving principle and to its con-
dltlon was attribu. ed all that there was
or health or illness. Now, Psychologists
know that nerve force and vitality are
the same. and that the constitution,
good or bad, depends upon nerve force.
Nerve force controls all motion. SEN
sation, digestion and nutrition. An
abundance of this subtitle energy means
health and vigor; lack of it causes
general debility, nervous prostration,
premature decline, disease and health
Nerve force is chiefly generated i'm the
brain, and therefore in the treatment
of all lingering diseases the condition
OF the brain centers should be carefully
considered and treased. One great
cause OF disease becoming chronic il
that physicians overlook the fact that
deficiency OF nerve force is the chief
cause of most diseases. Nervous pros
tration is due to lack of nerve force.

centers They are the result of twenty

A childish voice both soft and clear
