One evening as King oceanica was
preparing for bed, he heard loud
noise which must have been the boom
of a cannon. He was very angry, and
went quickly up to the surface. There
was ship with a great many people
on it. AS soon as the cannon was
fired, great quantities of fireworks were
also sent off. The king was so cross
because he could not sleep that he sent
a great wave to take the people pris-
oners. But just as the wave drew
near the ship, great flash of fire came
from the deck and struck the wave. 1t
heated the wave, which fell down upon
King Oceanica and his men and scalded
them.
This was many years ago, and to this
day no ocean people have come to the
top of the ocean lest they share the
fate of King Oceanica and his men.

LEATHER FROM HUMAN SKIN.
A Wisconsin Tanner Experiments With Two

Fond du Lac, Wis, Especially The
Reupping Leather Company, of this city,
has completed the tanning Of human
skin.
The discovery was made through one
Of the company's employees. The skin
Is in two pieces-one about IL by 20
inches in size, taken from the back, and
one IL inches square, taken from the
breast. 1t was brought to this city about
three weeks ago by student of Chi
cago medical college.
The president of the tanning company
refused to have anything to do with it,
but when one of the foremen was ap-
preached he agreed to run it through,
as he said he wanted to know how it
would come out
The hide was labeled a "pigskin" and
placed in vat, where it was soaked for
several days, when it was taken out,
scraped and aftcrward put through the
chrome process of tanning. The tanned
skin has much the appearance of dog
skin, and the foreman said it would take
an expert to tell the difference. Close
inspection, however, reveals the pores
and lines peculiar to the human epider-

Instantly killed, three were probably IA
tally injured and nearly 50 others re-
eeived injuries of various degrees of
severity ranging from bruises and cuts
TO broken limbs.
The excursion was under the auspices
of the German Aid Society of Alpena.
When the train reached Black River the
tender jumped the track. Engineer Hop
per instantly set the airbrake. and re-
versed his engine. The sudden stop
threw the first three coaches of the
train off the track and into the ditch.
The first car was thrown half around
and the next two coaches plowed
through it and cut it in two. August
Grosinski, the only person killed, was
seated in this coach with 40 other ex-
cursionists. His body was terribly
crushed and death was instantaneous
The escape of the others in the car was
we'll nigh-miraculous. Grosinski's little
son occupied the same seat with him,
but the lad was uninjured. The three
wrecked coaches were piled up in heap
and two hundred feet of the track was
torn up. AS soon as the occupants of
the uninjured coaches recovered from
the shock and surprise, they rushed to
the wrecked cars and began aiding the
injured. They were extricated front
the wreck with frantic haste and given
all possible relief, pending the arrival
of the relief train. This train brought
eight surgeons from Alpena. After tent
porary dressings had been made of the
most serious wounds, all the injured
were brought back to this city.

Fergus county, Mont. The cave Is
about $50 feet long, part of 1t being at
an angle of 45 degrees and part per-

unusual feature is that 1t Is found In

Of the wall being decorated with
masses of crystallized lime and sill
ca, while from the lofty roof hang In
Vulnerable scintillating stalactites.
On the floor of the cave are hundreds
of tons of cyanide gold ore, as rich as
any found in the mine proper averag-

the cave is formed by the foot wall Of
the ore body.

CHAPTER VI.

For some distance on the road to
Stroan the delicious glow cast upon
him by this stimulating conversation
lasted and made Clifford as happy as
a bird.
But when the irregular outline of
the old-fashioned town grew more de-
fined under the September sky, and
the meeting with Jordan and Cony-
beare grew nearer he had to concara
himself with the manner in which he
should get out of the difficulties which
his stay under the roof Of the Blue
Lion had brought upon him.
What had they heard and what
what would they believe?
He had not to ask himself these
questions long, for before he reached
the town he came upon Jordan with an
easel, a sketch-book and pipe, and
Conybeare with a strapful Of books
and a white umbrella.
Their demeanor was not kindly to-
ward the Grant Clifford. A garbled
version of the story of the robbery
had, indeed, reached them already, and
they had both made up their minds
that Nell was the thief. Willie Jordan,
of course, was the more inclined to
this view from his resentment at hav-
ing been "cut out" by Clifford, who, on
his side, was reticent and entirely 81.

fatuation which had led him to pro-
pose marriage to the girl.
Very soon the subject of the Blue
Lion and its inhabitants was tacitly
tabooed among the friends, and it was
not until ten days later that any Of
them found their way to the little inn
by the shore.
When they did so. however. they
were disappointed in tie object OF
their visit. Nell was never to be seen,
and not one of the three young men
ever dared to ask for her, as George
Claris, looking upon them apparently
as fellow conspirators against the fair
fame of his house, was curt to the
verge Of rudeness to them all. :

Her Beauty Won a Verdict.

preme Court of Minnesota has decided
that girls beauty is not to be counted
against her, and that if jury is in
Huenced by the comeliness of fair
plaintiff, it is not for the courts to de-
prive her of her natural advantages

case of Emma Koplitz against the city
of St. Paul. The girl was injured by all
accident while on coaching party and
sued the city, alleging a defective road
She was awarded verdict of 5000. The
city appealed, alleging that her beauty
had influenced the jury. The Supreme
Court denied a new trial and the verdict

! "And my own friends" added the
girl, with spirit, would have been just
as disguised with me for taking ad-
vantage of the passing fancy of man
in your position to marry above my
own rank in life"
But to this Clifford answered with
great composure:
"You will marry above your own
rank, that is certain, whether you
marry me OF not Beauty like yours
has a rank Of its own, to begin with.
And for these wild hordes of relations
OF mine, they only exist in your mag
nation. There is no one to prevent me
doing as l like; and even if there were
they might try, but they wouldn't sue
ceed."
To this Nell made no answer. After
a short silence Clifford spoke again:
"Well, I'm going. l shall come again
tomorrow, if not this evening, to pay
my bill, and"
Nell raised her face with an angry
flush.
"You will not pay It," she said,
quickly. "Do you think, when you
have lost so much money in the house
that we would allow you tor
'But that was not your fault nor
your uncle's."
Again. the mysterious trouble that
suggested at least guilty half
knowledge appeared in the girls eyes.
Clifford turned away his head that he
might not see it..
''I think we ought to bear the re-
sponsibility," she said earnestly.
"But 1 do not. Why should people
who are absolutely good suffer for the
faults of the absolutely bad?"
! Nell sighed.
; Absolutely good! We are not that.

that"

Now Clifford liked her even better
for this show of spirit than he had
done for her courage. 1t removed her,
he felt, out OF the gray-faced ranks OF
sour women who go through rounds of

to themselves and still more Oppres-
