However, for the time being / seemed to

the greatest politeness proposed that we

AS soon as she heard his foot come to-

Then, after an interval which seemed in
teTminable, there came a knocking, again
and again repeated. Kate went trembling,
and, after some parley, opened the door.
1t was Hamish who stood without, with a
folded paper, which Kate took into her
hands. Then she locked, as 1t seemed to
my dizzy brain, very many doors, and
brought me the little sheet of white with
a frown upon her brow.

CHAPTER XXI.
Nullity of Marriage.

That was one interview which served
to shake the foundation Of my darling's
reason, thank God. only for a time. The
other l shall relate more briefly. For 1t
is as useless as It is painful to dwell on
these attempts Of wicked and weak men
to sacrifice the innocent over the graves Of
their own sins.
+, That which Rupert the son had been
unable to effect by persuasion. Gregory, the
father, came some time after to carry out
by sterner. means. 1t was that day in late
November to which and the night that fol-
lowed 1t, so many references have been
made in this history.
When l saw Mr.. Glendonwyn disembark
with MIR. Surgeon Warner, l knew that the
battle so long imminent must now be
fought to a finish.
And 1 do not think that / was very
sorry. These Glendonwyns. with their pitt
full shifts and their pride in the wrong
place, their willingness to sacrifice all
for their great name-the woman who
loved them, the woman who had aided
them, the babe that had been born to
them, stirred every bit Of combativeness in
me. OF course 1 expect John, who, though
he bore the name, was as different from
the others as Gods gospel is from the
DEVILS lie.
But our assailants did not appear to be
in any haste to begin operations. Indeed
l grew to wonder whether there was to be
any direct attack that day or no, and to
dread their proffered gifts more than their
openest enmity.
1t was already afternoon before Mr..
Glendonwyn opened his batteries. Kate
was sitting with the child in her arms,
silent mostly, or lifting the babe In her
strong arms that she might tell him for

Each day she sat there a little longer

Of her old, winsome hopefulness showing
In her face, for she would cooroo to the

Nevertheless, Hamish had gone twice
to the mainland and twice returned with
empty excuses-the anne leg still inhamed

urgent business, friends arrived unex-
pectedly to visit him-before Mr.. Rupert
Glendonwyn came to Inch Jonet to kiss
wife and child.

boy.

have a habit Of m~islaying themselves
Just when they are needed the most.
The Invention which the picture repre-
sents is rather q novel way of keeping
the blotter in its place and may prove
a practical idea as well as a novelty.
1t is the intention of the inventor to
have it applied to the penholder in
such a manner that it shall follow the
line OF writing across the page as the
writer progresses, rolling over the let
tiers and dryin- them Immediately. The
frame which carries the plotting roller
is a screw clamp, which car be gripped
on the penholder in the proper posi-
ton, while the pivoted arm is allowed
to swing back and forth to keep the
blotter travelling in a straight line as
the pen rises and falls in forming the
letters. The device will be found es-
pecially useful in writing a large num-
Der of signatures, as it is only neces
sary to let the roller follow the pen.

A pipe charger so constructed as to
afford an easy means for filing the
pipe without taking the tobacco in the
hand or spilling any of it is the in
vention of D. H. Allen of Miamisburg,
Ohio.
The invention consists of a double
cylinder, open at one end and having
a faring fiange attached to the outer
section. The fange surrounds an open
ing in the outer shell and the inner
shell can be rotated to bring a similar
opening in register to allow the to-
bacco to be poured into the cylinder

viously secured to the lange by tight

The Nile dams at Assiout and at
Assouan will be completed during the
next year and are designed to inn
pound the water of the freshets so that
the whole Of the Province Of Fayum,
now arid, can be irrigated. To per-
NIT the passage Of the freshet water
the dams are pierced with orihces clos
ed by iood-gates whose dimensions
are calculated to permit the passage of
all the food water without hindrance.
There ere in all 1870 iood-gates al diff
ferent attitudes. If all are open all
the flood water passes freely. In
practice they will be closed gradually
SO as to impound water sufficient to
I'LL the reservoirs. Each ~hood-gate has
an opening 2 metres high by z metres
long Except that a few are Of half OF
this size). The pressure on the lowest
gates is 800 tons, and in spite OF the
enormou pressure the gates are open
ed and closed by machinery which
works with perfect smoo.hness and
ease.

Just fifty years ago there died in
Heidelberg. Germany, Baron Karl Won
Drais, who was, the Germans claim, the
inventor of the bicycle. The a%nniver-
sary of this event was not celebrated
with pomp even in his native city,
though by his invention he founded
one of the most important of modern
industries. Though in America the
bicycle is not as much the rage as it
was some years ago, it is finding in
creased favor on the European CONT
nent and in the vast Oriental countries,
most OF the best makes being manufac-
tured in the United States, where last
year the industry made a record.

A Letter From the Executive Office Of Oregon.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters Of congratulation and
commentator testifying to the merits of
Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy are pouring
in from every State in the Union. DR..
Hartman is receiving hundreds of letters
daily. All classes write these letters, from
the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is the
catarrh remedy Of the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est enemy, are especially enthusiastic In
their praise and testimony.
ANY man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is
well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent.
Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard
known. A old is the beginning of catarrh.
To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
cntarrh out Of its victims. Pe-ru-na not
only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every
household should be supplied with this great
remedy for coughs, colds and so forth

much more thar can be given here) on
the matter of the origins Of human
races: No idea is more firmly fixed
In the mind of the average man than
that all mankind sprang from a single
pair and hence came up in a single
place. Nor is the prevalence of the
idea surprising; engendered by the as
~sociations Of family life, fostered by
honorable regard for worthy ances-
tors, and nourished by tradition, it
grows into a natural intuition; and
when intensified by the teachings of
biology 1t natures into a postulate
SO strong as to be seldom questioned.
Yet once the question is raised the
postulate is seen to be gratuitous. In
the present state of knowledge it may
not be affirmed or denied with conf
dence; but it must be recognized that
the idea of monogenesis is not sup
ported by a single observation in the
domain of anthropology and Is opposed
to the great body OF observations Oh
human development. The notion of
monogenesis is a pure assumption i'm
ported into an~thropology from other

amply sufficient to compel the open
minded -anthropologist to tolerate the

it as an alternative with that Of mono

The German census, which started
December /, 1900, and has just been
finished, gives some interesting facts.
There are 442 cities with a population
between l 5000 and 100, 600 each. In
1876 the German empire had 24,83S,0 OO
in h~abitants; in 1855, 36,114,000; and
in 1900, so, 345. 900. In the year 1916,
Prussia had IS, 7O9, 900 inhabitants; in
1855, 21, $4,000, and in 1900, 34,46S, 900.
The enormous increase in the large
cities of Germany is said to be due to
the retrograde movement in agricul-
ture. which has driven people from the
country.

In a new building attached to some
boiler works in Germany, a novelty in
windows has been introduced. Light
is introduced through stone windows.
The ordinary panes of glass were i'm
practicable on account of the nearneSs
of the works to the railway lines, so
pneumatic glass stones have been used.
From the outside the appearance is the
same as the so-called "Butzen" panes.
They are translucent, and, at the same
time, as strong as the stone wall in
which they are set. They will with
stand any pressure or blow that the
walls will stand.

Measured by Music.

A learned scientist has recently
shown how the velocity of the wind
can be reckoned by noting the musical
pitch of the sound given out when the
wind blows across a stretched wire.
The principal elements on which the
calculation is based are the diameter
of the wire and the temperature Of the
air. The length of the wire is inmate
rial, so long as It is Aot changed. Ev-
cry variation in the winds velocity is
faithfully represented by the rising or
falling of the pitch of the note sung by
the wire.
