quented. IL consisted Of one
store and a station house on an mex
cusable railroad that had been built
during the railroad craze Of genera
ton ago.
The, O'Clock express was pulling
away from the station and plunging
into the darkness of an approaching
thunderstorm. Sam Mcdonald, the
storekeeper. who was also postmaster
and express agent, was standing In his
doorway looking at the slaty curtain
OF rain that was rising across the sky
under a fieecy arch of wind cloud. Ev.
cry msment the lightning was becom-
ing more vivid and the thunder claps
sounded nearer. He was on the point
OF retreating into the store when the
station master called TO him through
the windy tumult:
Hey, Sam! Here's an express par
cell.
Lock 1t up in the freight room for
the nightr he called back.
But this has a special order with 1t,
and it's insured" said the station mas
ter, coming toward the store at a run
through the first heavy drops of the
storm.
"The order says that It is to be de
livered tonight" he continued as they
both got under shelter. And he handed
q little parcel TO Mcdonald.
"Orders or no orders, it isn't going to
be delivered In a storm like this, "'Mc-
Donald growled. Then he lit lamp
for the darkness of midnight had come
with the storm.
"Well, it's no funeral Of mine," said
the station agent. you have the par.
Gel, and it's your business to look aftel
It,"
In the meantime Mcdonald looked al
the address and suddenly stood bolt up
right After a brief pause he put the
parcel in his pocket and started toward
the back door which led to the stable.
"Where are you going| asked the
station agent in surprise.
ITO deliver this parcel!' Mcdonald
called back with savage laugh as h
buttoned his coat and plunged out Int
the beating rain. A few minutes late
the station agent heard Mcdonald
speaking fiercely to his horse as HI
mounted in the stable yard and theI
for few moments heard the splashin;
of Its feet as 1t galloped away.
Mcdonald could see the road only Il
glimpses when there was blaze o
lightning. His frightened horse wa
constantly stopping, as If overwhelme'
by the rain, but still the rider Leaned
against the storm and rode forward
The storm in his heart was SO fierc
that the tumult of the elements almos
sOothed him. Olive Lucas would hav

1t was a strange fate that made Nc
Donald in his capacity of postmaste
and express agent a go between for tn
scOrnful Olive and his rival Letter.

MUSIC TOLURE MOSQUITOES
New Process Said to Destroy the In.

New Process Said to Destroy the In.
sects by Musical Sounds.
The Brookline (Mass) board of
health, which is systematically exter-
minating mosquitoes by means Of kero-
sene oil, recently received a communi.
cation calling attention to q new proc
ess for lessening the evil by means of
musical sounds, says a Boston b. scial
to the New York Times. The matter
has been referred to Albert c. Nyhen
Of the meteorological laboratory. who
has general superintendency Of the
work of petrOlizing the catch basins
and stngnant spots throughout the
town. The following statement 10
made with reference to the new proc
ess:
Practical application has been given
the new system and 1t has been dis
covered that a certain musical note
raised to great number Of vibrations
per second will cause the MOSQUITO to
experience sudden and complete pa
ralysis, and not only does this intensi-
fed note arrest the insect In fight or
hurl 1t from the ceiling or wall, but
also because Of strange construction
OF the mosquitoes auditory system It
causes it to plunge undeviatingly to.
ward the spot whence the music issues.
1T has been found that the practical
application has been effected by rails
Ing to a great number of vibrations
per second the particular note to which
the mosquito Is most sensitiyely at
tuned. This intensified note was pro-
duced by sudden electrical impulse up.
on misical instrument, whereupon it
was noticed that every mosquito in the
room plunged headlong to the instru-
ment, and that when the windows
were opened the room was soon filled
Again the amplifed note was sounded
and instantly in cloud the mosquitoes,
apparently lifeless, were precipitated
against the apparatus"

THE LUCAS HOUSE.
had been passing between her and
Harry Lawson with ever increasing
rapidly, and he knew that the little
parcel he was carrying was undoubted-
ly love token for her birthday on the
following day.
Olive Lucas was the only daughter
Of farmer living on the rich fats of
the Spadlna river. AS it frequently
fell to her lot to go to the post office
for the weekly paper and the family
mail, and also to do large part of the
family shopping, the taciturn young
shopkeeper saw great deal of her
and learned to love her with all the
intensity Of his repressed nature. The
natural result of this propinquity was
to waken responsive feeling In Olive,
30 that when Mcdonald declared his
heart with sudden vehemence she con.
sented to be his wife; but, being young.
she insistec on years delay before
their marriage, and during that year
she learned many things about her
lover that she had not previously sus-
pected. He was man whose nature
had not been softened by the fierce
struggles Of his early life. Instead of
broadening him adversely had made
him narrow and suspicious, and as
soon as he conceived he had the right
to dictate to her he developed into a
Jealous tyrant. As postmaster he saw
all the letters she wrote and received
and practically established censor
ship over her mail. His was IA love
that demanded sacrifices rather than
made them, and Olive was beginning
to realize her mistake when Harry

RAZORLESS SHAVE
MAY BE POSSIBLE.
Medical Science Has Outwitted the
Skill of the Barber.

This is an age of progress. Some
thing new is ever being flashed across
the wires. But the newest discovery
is out of the ordinary; nothing more
nor less than a razorless shave, and
a razorless shave does not mean mere
ly to clip off the whiskers with a pair
of scissors nor to NOW them off with
sand paper,
If it were possible to secure in Sa-
vannah what the chemist knows by
the technical name of "murriochlo
renal" all the barber shops in the city
might just as well take in their red,
white and blue signs and close their
doors, but to secure this one ingredient
to complete a formula, which If proper
ly mixed and applied, would remove
the beard from the face as clean as
would any razor, and much cleaner
than some razors, is a physical impos-
sibility. In this manner some of the
totally unnecessary gashes might also
be eliminated from ones ordeal of
shaving.
DR.. Wolfram E. Dreyfus, of New
York, has given out to the world that
he has discovered a wonder working
compound after many years of careful
study, and it now appears that the
BARRIERS skill has given away to medi-
cal science, inasmuch as DR.. Dreyfus
wonderful solution of the shaving
problem seems to eliminate the bar
her from the list of vocations whereby
a man might make an honest living.
This is the working COM
pound:
Barrii sulphidi, rs parts.
Saponis pulvis, 5 parts.
Talci veneti pulvis, 35 parts.
Nurriochlo renal, parts.
Tritici farinae, 80 parts.
Benzaldehydi, quarter solution.
1t appears in the new hospital formu-
larry. which DR.. Dreyfus has recently
issued.
The several ingredients mentioned
above when mixed together make a
powder. For the new scientific raz-
orless shave-if it is possible to secure
the one ingredient which money can
not buy in Savannah, nor in great
many other places-take one teaspoon
full of the powder and mix it with three
teaspoonsful of water, making paste
which is to be applied to the face in
a moderately thick and even layer with
q brush. which is the one thing 1t Is
necessary to save when the shaving
outfit is discarded. After four or FIVE
minutes, which can be spent in read
ing or any other way, moisten the
lsther with a sponge, and in another
Ave minutes the mixture can be wash
ed off, leaving a beardless, gashless
face.

Of the one are everyday frSsnds. and
