Our Power of Resistance.

Doctors tell us, in these days OF
germ and toxins, that the thing that
counts most in a case is the resist.
ing power" of the patient. Some men
and women can pass through an cpl
demic or even be inoculated with its
peculiar poison germs and yet shake
off infection, unframed. Others ap-
parently just as healthy, succumb to
the first contact with disease, and
sink under it in spite of the best nurs'
ing. Resisting power is an individ-
ual affair, and many surprises come to
doctor and nurses as the frail-looking
patient pulls through and the robust
seeming one dies. Medicines can only
aid the resisting power"-they can
never take its place. 1t determines.
in the end, life o. death in every case.

DR.. Newton M. Shaffer, OF New
York, who long has been acquainted
with the Roosevelt family and has at
tended the Presidents children at vari-
Gus times, and who also is a we'll
known bone specialist joined the
Presidents physicians in their morning
consultation at 10 o'clock.
1t was noticed that there had been a
slight rise in the Presidents tempera-
ture and an increase in local symptoms,
and the conclusion was reached that
the patients recovery would be hasten
ed by making an incision OF the wound
for the purpose OF relieving the slight
tension or swelling which was present
and also to drain the wound
The operation was performed be-
tween and 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
An application OF cocaine was used to
allay the pain. The President stood
the operation very we'll and subse-
quently expressed his satisfaction at
the successful result. DR.. Rixey, the
surgeon general OF the navy, performed
the operation, assisted by DR.. Lung,
the Presidents regular physician.
DR.. O'Reilley, who also was pres
ent with the other physicians, is the
surgeon general of the army, and here
tofore has been consulted regarding
the case. DR.. Edward R. Stitt, another
OF those present, is in charge OF the
Naval Museum OF Hygiene and Medi-
cal School
The physicians took roseate view
Of the Presidents prospects for get
ting out again. He has become scrnc-
what FESTIVE because Of his close conhnc-
ment and the physicians arc consid-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY Of permitting him
to take ride in few days. The ply
sicians say the question now is simply
one OF the healing of the wound and
reiterate that this will be iiastened by
the operation performed.
AT the White House at 10 o'clock it
was stated that the President was do
ing very we'll and that no additional
statement would be issued Late in
the evening DR.. Shaffer, while he del
clined to discuss generally the Presi
dents case, authorized in the most posi-
tive manner the statement that therd
need not be the least cause for anxiety
or alarm regarding his condition, but
said, on the contrary, he coud givd
every assurance OF the belief that thd
President will soon recover.

YOUNG RECTOR ADMIRED
VESTMENTS OF BISHOP

tened through the darkened church to
the apartment indicated. The dooI
was closed, and, without giving its
occupant time to answer his knock in
person, he opened the door and en-
tered. -
His establishment and entertain
ment may be imagined when one
reads that he discovered the young
rector arrayed in the complete vest
ments Of the absent bishop, stepping
sideways and back before the long
pier glass, with the aid of which the
clergymen were accustomed to as
sumo their robes. The vestments
were somewhat too long, the visitor
said, but they became the young wear
er admirably. What conversation
passed between the two, or whether
the bishop noticed any change in the
manner in which he had done up the
vestments, has never been divuIged
but the story, as it appears above, has
been told as too good to consign
oblivion.

Siamese Dress and Jewels.

Now that ladies wear so many jew
els in the daytime sequence Of color
should be thought out. The Siamese
arrangement may, perhaps, afford sug
gestions. In that country on Sunday
red silk with a parure of rubies is
worn; Monday brings a silver and
white dress and a necklace of moon
stones; Tuesday is dedicated to light
red, with coral ornaments; Wednes
day is devoted to green, with emer
aids: Thursday sees display of va
riegated colors. VITA cats eyes; Fri
day the lady is arrayed in pale blue,
with flashing diamonds, and Saturday
the more sombcr. darker hue, with
sapphires to match.

CHAPTER XXI.


In the meantime Clifford was pro-.
ceeding slowly on his way to Single
End. 1t was dark by this time, and
the way seemed even longer than 1t
bad done. when, he was on his way to
Courtstairs that afternoon. There was
a faint Night over the gray sea, but on
the rigfR over the marsh, and away
as far as the ridge of hill Oh which old
Fleet Castle stood there was inky
blackness. 1t was a lonely road at
night, this long, dreary stretch or
straight, hedgeless highway, with only
an occasional bit Of ragged bush or
still more infrequent wayside cottage
to break up it's wearisome monotony.
Even the cry Of the sea-birds was
startling as it came to Clifford's ears
on the clear air. An ugly fancy took
possession of him, too, as he drew near
to Single End at last that the cries he
heard were not all those Of the sea-
birds; that it was human cry, shrill
and weird, which came to him over
the fiat meadow land by the sea.
He stopped. He heard the sound
again. And, forgetting his promise
not to hurry, he went on toward Colo
mel Bostal's house as fast as his tired
feet could carry him. He was sure
now that the cries had not been those
of the birds; sure, too, that they had
proceeded from the direction OF the
spot to which he was fastening.
There was q ragged plantation or
untrimmed trees and thorn bushes on
the right side Of the road before he
came to Shingle End. Just as he ap-
preached this, the darkest part OF the
whole road, man sprang out upon
him from the shade of the overhang-
ing trees, and seized him from behind.
Clifford shouted, struggled, trying in
vain to turn, so that he might see the
mans face. But his assailant, who
did not utter a word, frustrated all his
efforts, and held>h fast.
Clifford's cries, however, soon brought
help and delivera9ce.
From out Of the darkness there ap-
peared figure which Clifford thought
he knew, and voice which he recog-,
nized called cut in authoritative tones:l

Thrones Sold By Auction.

In London recently two ancient Ash
anti Coronation thrones, upholstered
in human skin, were offered for sale.
These are said to have been brought
from West Africa by a military of.
ficer. The thrones are emblems of
Ashanti royalty, and without them the
successors of N'Kwanta and OFinsu
cannot be crowned. The purchaser
incurs a certain responsibility in their
safe custody, and might well become
the victim of those amazing intrigues
which novelists have woven round the
stolen sacred stones of the East.

pRIMEvAL PEOPLE OF AMERICA
They Originated From High Degree
of Civilization.

of Civilization.
The primeval peoples of both North
and South America originated from a
of high degree which occu-
MED the subequatorial belt some 49,
600 years ago, while the glacial sheet
was still on. Population spread north
ward as the ice receded. Routes OF
exodus diverging from the central
point of departure are plainly marked
by ruins and records. The subsequent
settlements in Mexico, Arizona, New
Mexico, Colorado, Utah and California
indicate the successive stages OF ad-
vance, as we'll as the persistent strug-
gle to maintain the ancient civilization
against reyersion and catastrophes OF
nature. The varying architecture OF
the valleys, cliffs and mesas Is an in
telligible expression of the exigencies
which stimulated the builders, contln-
hes a writer in Harper's Magazine.
The gradual distribution OF population
over the higher ATTITUDES IN after
wears was supplemented by accretions
from Europe and northern Asia CEN
turtles before the coming Of Columbus.
Wars and reprisals were the natural
and inevitable results Of a mixed and
degenerating population with different
dialects. The mounds which cover the
mid-continental areas, isolated and IN
groups, tell the story thereon. Inc
Korean immigration of the year 544'
historically cited, which led to tne
founding of the Mexican empire IN
1925, was but an incidental contrinu.
ton to the growing population oil
North America. So also were the very
much earlier migrations from Central
America across the Gulf Of Mexico.

Period of Deepest Sleep.

The period of deepest sleep varies
from three o'clock to five. An hour or
two after going to bed you sleep very
soundly; then your slumber grows
gradually lighter, and it is easy enough
to waken you at one or two O'clock
But when four o'clock comes you are
in such a state Of somnolence that II
would take great deal to waken you.

"That'll do, SIR" said the sergeant,
as, with shrewd look, he saluted and
went back to the cab.
Clifford walked On, therefore, at no
very rapid pace. Indeed, as the cab
passed him, with the sergeant on the
box beside the driver, he saw NelIs
face at the window, with little SUR
prise and reproach in her eyes at the
slow progress he was making in car
rying out her behest.
She, poor girl, sat upright and list
ened to the sound Of the horses hoofs
and to the wheels upon the road like a
person incapable of steady thought.
She had known that this blow was
coming. She had passed hour after
hour of many 81 weary night in trying
to devise means Of escape from 1t.
But every plar. had ended in failure
even before she could put it In prac'
tice; for day after day she bad found
that she was watched by the police,
and It had become clear to her that
wherever she went she would be
Swallowed, and that at the time they
chose she would find herself in the
grip of the police.
1t was to the house Of one Of the
local justices Of the peace that she
was being taken. The cab soon tool
a turning to tile right, and presently
arrived at the lodge gates Of Horne
Park.
Horne Court was large building,
brand-new and many-gabled, built

Sir Neville Bax was a bland and
imperious gentleman, with q loud
voice and a dominant manner, who.
having married the ugliest woman In
the county, sought to palliate this
misdeed by posing as a great admirel
of the rest of the sex. He stared ut
Nell with an approving eye.
"Well, Miss Claris, and so hear you
have a statement to make to me?" he
began in a benevolent tone which
made Nell vince. =
Nell did not Immediately answer.

concerning the robbery at your uncle'f

'Ifs only very little thing that

"Ah, but little things sometimes lead
to great results" retorted Sir Neville
buoyantly. "You know that there was
sleeping on the premises at the Blue
Lion, on the occasion Of the first rob
berry committed there, a person whose
presence there was known to you

tears.
