quest" l said. GLOW do you know
where the man may be at this mo-

"We do not know, or we should
scarcely have asked your assistance"
Kitwater replied, with some show OF
reason. "It is because we have heard
of your wonderful powers in tracing
people that we have come to you. Our
only cause for attending the trial at
which you saw us was to hear the evil
dence you gave and to draw u own
conclusions from it. That those con-
illusions were complimentary to you,
III presence here is evidence of. We
know that we could not put our case
In better hands, and we will leave it
with you to say whether or not you will
help us. AS l said just now, my COM
panion is dumb, while l am blind; we
cannot do much ourselves. Will you
not take pity upon US and help US to
find the man who betrayed and ruined
us?"
"But he may be at the other end of
the world at this moment?" 1 said.
"That does not NATTER" he returned.
"We know that, wherever he may be,
you will find him. All we ask you to do
is to bring US face to face with him.
We will manage the rest. 1t will be

him to a proper way of thinking"

"Have you any idea where the man

"He crossed the province of Yunnan

he made his way through Rangoon, and
shipped on board the steamer JENA

"When did the Jemadar reach Lon

"On the 23d of june he answered.
"We have made inquiries upon that
point" (.

we are on the subject, what do you
suppose would be the total value of
the treasure of which he robbed you?"
"That is very difficult to say" Kit
water replied, and then turned to his
companion and held out his hand. The
other took it and tapped upon the palm
with the tips of his fingers in a sort of
acknowledgement fashion that I had
never seen used before.

I opened my eyes on hearing this.
Were the men telling me the truth, l
asked myself, or were they trying to
interest me in the case by exaggerat-
ing the value of the treasure?

An odd incident happened in the then
Danish West Indies about quarter
of century ago that nearly caused
serious international complications. An
American marksman, paying a visit TO
Charlotte Amalia, amused the governor
by an exhibition of his skill with the
rifle. Sitting on the veranda of the
government house. he said that he
could cut with bullet the signal hal
yards on the fiagsthff Of the fort and
lower the Danish standard to the
ground. As the lines were almost In
visible in the distance the governor
was willing to bet that lie could not do
II. The shot rang out, and the flag fell.
Presently a horseman daShed up, In
forming the governor that some one
had fired on the flag. There was great
excitement. The governor, none too
popular, it seems, with the military,
ruined his political future by admit
ting that the affair was n joke in
which he connived. Report being sent
to Copenhagen, highly colored' OF
course. by the cOmmandant, his excel
lency was summarily removed.-New

with his arms and then until midnight

cottage which is still standing In the
factory and which he did not exchange
for better home until long after his
marriage | now quote Mr. krupp's
own words uttered ON the twenty-tifth
anniversary of the founding Of the fac
tory:
"From my fourteenth year | had the
care of family father during the day,
added to hard work at the factory, and
at night had 10 study how TO overcome
the difficulties in the way. During this
period lived ON potatoes, bread and
coffee and scant portions of meat and
toiled until late in the night. For twen-
ty-fve years struggled thus until con-
ditions grew little easier. My last
remembrance of that period is the
growing danger of total ruin and my
endurance, suffering and hard labor
to avert the calamity, and | say all
this for the encouragement Of young
men who have nothing, are nothing
and want to get something and be
somebody"
In 1892 the factory gave employment
to only ten men. At the time of Mr.
Krupp's death over 10000 men were
employed in and about Essen, in the
factory and the adjoining mines.-out

confused. Mica is Il transparent min

One question often asked and which
few living persons are able to answer
is, What are the sensations of man
who is being stranglcd with roper
Some Of the few who have lived to give
an account of what occurred TO them at
that critical moment say that after
one instant of pain the chief sensation
is that of mass of brilliant colors be-
fore the eyes. Professor Boughton,
who was one day testing for himself
what such an experience would be
like, lost his footing and was acciden-
tally discovered and rescued just as
the last faint spark of life was about
to leave the body. He declared after
ward that he felt no pain and that the
only sensation was that OF n fire be-
fore his eyes which finally changed
from bright blue to a black color.
He said that he had no fear of the
consequences and that the colors were
even n source of extreme pleasure.

As the waste in animal food in those
who lead indolent lives is carried off
10y the kidneys it is very desirable that
they should be kept well flushed with
plenty of water, for pure water Is to
the kidneys what fresh air is TO the
lungs. and taken I'm the early morning,
preferably as hot as it can be slipped,
It washes away the unhealthy secre-
tions that have accumulated in the
stomach during the night and stimu-
lates IT to healthy action, and then,
passing on through the system till 1t
reaches the kidneys, carries away by
their aid the uric acid, gOut poison and
other impurities that should have no
fixed habitation in the body at all ana
would not have if the sufferer were
properly dieted for even two or three
weeks each year.
