tori Again and again she examined the
coat nevertheless her efforts were fu-t

time Beatrice was forced to admit that
she was at loss-completely baff1ed.
The evening found the company in
anything but pleasant disposition. Bea-
trice felt fatigued, i'll at ease, and Pc.
culiar anxiety possessed her OF some
impending evil. Marsden scarcely spoke,
word, only Bozell retained his usual
humor.
"Miss Albenson, believe this is the
last day we shall have the pleasure of
your company" spoke up the count, and
vein of sarcasm could have been de-
tected in his voice.

You have a prophetic look, Miss Alben-
son."
Beatrice gazed upon him interrogative-
". The silence which ensued made her
very uncomfortable, and she asked at
what time the carriage would arrive,
adding:
II would not like to have the driver
wait"
"Punctuality Is one Of the best vir-
tues in a woman" commented the count.
II am glad to notice you possess It."
II do not understand how that inter
ests you," responded Beatrice, little
disconnected. "Our way lie in quite diff
ferent directions"
'You-think-eo?
He spoke the words slowly-very slow
ly. Beatrice looked at Bozell. His
mien was lurking; his persistent smile
at her every word offended her.
when will the carriage arrive?" she
questioned again.
Towards evening" nonchalantly re-
piled the banker.
Thanks! Julia will have ample time
tomorrow for preparation"
'What! Do you intend to take the
maid with you" sharply questioned
Marsden.
"Of course. I cannot dispense with
her services. Besides, the countess will
expect me to be accompanied by maid"
Nonsense, Beatrice. You will find
enough servants over there"
Every we'll; then I must stay at
home"
The banker was almost beside himself
with rage at Beatrice's sudden change
Of mind. Then the count interposed
why do you oppose it, Marsden?
Why shouldn't the lady take the maid
with her if she SO desires p
Beatrice had not expected any assist
ance from that quarter, and gazed upon
her atep-father greatly confused and as
tonished.
"Well, then, take her along. I will
grant your request"
These words were accompanied with a
significant look between the count and
Marsden, which passed unnoticed to Bea-
trice, who had no suspicion of anything
wrong and simply thanked him for his
consent.

COMES NEXT TO THE AMAZON.
Rio de la Plata and It's Vast Easin in
South America.

Rio de la Plata aud It's Vast Easin in
South America.
The river system OF the Plate, Or Of
the Rio de la Plata, is one Of the
most wonderful in the world. The
volume Of the stream is greater than
that Of the Mississippi. 1t is sur
passed only by the Amazon. 1t drains
basin more than half as big as the
whole United States, and one which in
fertility Of soil and salubrity of eli
mate is only surpassed by the basin
Of the Mississippi and it is question
whether it has not more cultivated
territory. Upon it tens of millions
OF cattle and sheep are pastured, and
it's wheat fields compete with ours in
the markets of Europe. 1t has the
most extensive plains Of the globe and
it is vast expanse of fairly good
land.
It is a white mans country. The
basin Of the Amazon is tropical and
malarious. That Of the Plate is largely
in the temperate zone. It's northern
parts are like Louisiana or Florida and
in the south the summer climate is as
temperate as that of the middle States.
1t Is the Mississippi basin reversed.
the source of its rivers being in the
hot country, where there are coffee
and sugar lands, and rubber trees, and
it's mouth in the rather cool lands Of
Uruguay and the Argentine, noted for
their fields of wheat and corn.
The vast basin is formed in the shape
Of a great horseshoe, with the opening
toward the Atlantic, the Andes and
the strip Of highlands which crosses
Brazil from the back and upper rim
Of the shoe, while the slightly sloping
plains of Patagonia bound it on the
south. In it are included> the best of
the Argentine, all of Uruguay and
Paraguay and large portions Of Bra
zil and Bolivia. The most Of it has
been built up by the Parana or Rio
de la Plata system, and to-day these
rivers are sti11 at their great work Of
earth building.
You see this plainly in the Rio de Ia
Plata proper. 1t Is more a great bay
Of liquid mud than river. 1t is 100
miles wide at the Atlantic and mar
rows down to twenty mine miles at
Buenos Ayres, which is $50 miles in
land. The width at Montevideo Is
about sixty-nve miles. The Rio de la
Plata is so full Of mud that 1t dis
colors the Atlantic for many miles out
at sea.
We noticed the change in the color of
the ocean long before we entered its
mouth and the water seemed to grow
thicker as we sailed to Buenos Ayres.
The channel is fast filing up with
sandy mud and the Eads jetty system
is proposed. AS it is now, the river
brings down a quarter of a million
tons of mud day and the sediment
Is so great that all the water used by
Buenos Ayres Is filtered by the city.

Letter Box Advertising.

From the New York Times.
It is not an unusual experience of the
dweller in ''apartments'-by which is
meant the tenant of a flat-to find his
letter box as solidly packed at pm.
as the car which he rode home. Very
often the congestion is so complete that
the postman, in making his deliveries, can.
not put into apartment house boxes the
letters and other mail matter intended for
them. and has to leave them where they
are accessible to mschievous boys and
evil-disposed persons, by whom they may
be and often are stolen.
The law. which is specific enough against
this intrusion INTO private letter boxes of
matter other than that which goes through
the United States mail. is not self-enforc-
ing. and we are not sure it is the duty of
the police to enforce it by following and
arrestng those who take such liberties with
mail receptacles. The police have other
and more important duties to perform,
which it is probable would be neglected
If they undertook to watch for and catch
all who go into the vestibules Of apartment
houses and while there slip advertising
matter into letter boxes. The postmaster
of New York has an opportunity to render
himself and the public a service by doing
what he easily can to stop this evil.

Japanese Police and Rats.
National Druggist


The following account exemplifes the
thorough manner in which Japanese Off
Gals carry out their orders. The Drogisten
Zeitung says that last month the police Of
Kobe distributed to every house in town
a package Of arsenic, with directions for
the use Of the poison printed on each pack
age, which latter was to be used in the
destruction of rats, in accordance with the
plan Of the department Of health in fight
ing the plague. A very prominent citizen
of Kobe, and a political leader of some
note, on the day after the distribution was
made called at the office of the Kobe
Chronicle and lodged a complaint to the eff
feet that he had been grossly insulted by
the police According to his account, a
police officer on the foregoing day had
walked into his dwelling. and without a
word handed him a package marked ar
senic" What is that?" asked he That's
for you" answered the officer. For me?
inquired the astonished citizen, in whose
mind. no doubt, visions of hint to betake
himself to the unknown shore after the
good old japanese fashion. were float
ing. "Yes-for-you," repeated the police
man, pausing after each word to empha-
size it. THE order has gone forth that
all vermin shall die" This was all that
the astonished editor could get out Of the
wrathy politician, and the latter went away

had put upon him."

Wave Motors.

From Lippincott's.
There have been in the United States
more than 150 patents allowed for wave
motors. That each of these was in itself
novel, embodying original idea, was
matter necessarily precedent to the grant,
ing of the patent. OF these patents upward
of ninety are accredited to the Atlantic sea-
board and nearly sixty to the Pacific coast.
While greater number of the inventions
have been produced on the Atlantic side
where, of course, there is greater popula-
tion-yet nearly all OF these seem to have
proceeded no further in practical applica-
ton than the most tentative stages. Those
of the Pacific, however, have nearly all
been actually and experimentally tried, and
in most instances the faith Of the inventor
has remained mistaken in his novelty until
the novelty itself was not only shaken but
utterly eracinated and destroyed by the
plunging pillows of the surf which rolled
and roared against it.

News From California,

The Gays work at Marion Lodge was
done and Phil started for home. His illness
had left him weak, and the suspicion that
rested on him had almost broken his heart.
The work was hard and Dean exacting, and
taken altogether the boy was staggering
under a heavy load, with no one to tighten
it by even so much as a helpful word.
IF fatner would only write to me, could
bear this trouble" he thought Surely he
will soon, and l must just try to be brave
until he does. At any rate am innocent.
l believe I'll stop and see Nose: he's about
all the friend l have left
Mr.. Glover had gone away for
weeks holiday before Phil had been
suspected of the theft of the jewel, and
the boy hoped that he would not lose
the tutors favor. AS he leaped up the first
terrace, Dean called him back.
There are enough people racing over
that terrace and wearing paths, without
you doing it. I should think You would
have pride in the looks of the place YOUR
self. Go round by the road"
Phi came back without a word Al
though he thought ruefully OF the increased
distance. he forgot that he might have
gone around by the barn, through the
rayine, until he was half way up the hill
on the highway.
1t was July day and although after 6
o'clock, oppressively warm. The bright
sunshine suddenly became black before his
eyes. He staggered on few steps, then
threw himself under the shade of a tree by
the roadside. After while the faintness
passed, but he felt too unwell to rise He
picked up a dead branch that had fallen
from a tree and began beating the grass
with it. Suddenly he heard voices, and the
sound of ponies hoofs as they carefully
picked their way down the stony hillside
Phil recognized the voices as those of
Cover and Eyerard Ponsonby. They had
been to Westburg, and as a trip to that
place involved the climbing of many hills
they had taken their ponies in preference
to their wheels. They were talking excit-
