CHAPTER XIX. (Continued).
The Man Without a Country.

He and your mother. who was even
cleverer than he. had a plan almost with
out a flaw. When engaging as cook ON
board the Xenia the alleged Monsieur
Anatole asked permission to bring with
him packing case containing certain ma
terials required for his most celebrated
dishes. In this case was a small collap-
sible boat in which he intended, after
executing his design, to make his escape.
thus leaving all the Xenia's boats intact
and carrying out the idea that everyone
on board had persisted. To escape thus.
when all was ready. he must have good
weather. or he might lose his life in the
moment of liberty; therefore he could not
absolutely choose his day for the. great
coup. But he counted on having good
weather in May and decided to walt till
then He knew that at that time the
Xenia's owner expected to be somewhere
near Tangier, and with this idea in mind
you and your mother took the villa here
in order to be able to receive the con-
ouering hero when his work should be
finished. You were to wait for him in
Tangier, and he would come to you here,
or send to say that for some reason his
plans had changed.
Nov I will tell you what happened on
! the Xenia while you waited. Monsieur
Anatole. the chef, took advantage Of a
fete day to carry out his plan. The birth
| day Of the bride was to be celebrated
and through him the request was made
| to the master that everyone on board
might be allowed to drink her health al
| the same moment. The request was
granted and good wine provided for the
purpose. A little private dose of irritan
poison was given to the head steward
who waited at table. He was taken il
in the morning. The chef asked permits
| sion to take the stewards place at lunch
con, as there were to be certain dishe!
which must be skilfully served. He un

don't profess to know: but do know
this. you were not so skilled in prepar-

your own responsibility, as one of your
accomplished parents would have been.
or the old man would never have opened

He had not one failure Not a human
being on the yacht Xenia escaped, and he
had so far had very little trouble. But
when he was the only man left alive
among those who had died that he might
at last lay his hands upon a great for
tune. his real difficulties began. There
were the bodies to be got rid of--thrown
into the sea-and also all traces Of the
gigantic crime which had been committed
on board. His intention was that the
desertion of the Xenia should remain a.
mystery until the end Of time, and so it
doubtless would but for one or two small
miscalculations.
HE did not wish to leave tire yacht
until nightfall, but one difficulty was that
as he was the only man left, he could not
control the xeniais motions in the sea,
and at any time it might be discovered by
some passing ship that she was derelict.
But for the time being the sea was clear,
and he made all haste with his labor,

! But he had thought of all that long ago

to his hand. He threw away the bottles
and glasses which had contained the

touch to destroy all the yachts papers

/ could find which would lead to the iden-

ILLINOIS TOO STRICT
The Diamond Match Company May
Move AWAY.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-President Barber of
the Diamond Match company announced
at the annual meeting of the stockholders
that the management was planning to
move the home of the company to some
other state. ........
1.-The state of Illinois, said Mr.. Bar
Der, ''by it's annoying requirements has
prompted the board Of directors seriously
to consider the advisability of moving the
home of the company to some state where
the exactions are not severe"
The inpossibility of owning the real es-
tate necessary to the companys business
under an Illinois charter and heavy taxa
ton are considerations that make the
removal desirable. The taxes this year
will be about 1925, 900.

National Banks OF Allegheny. owing TO
its connection with the Federal National
Bank. has concluded to go into liquida-
ton. The board of directors held a
meeting last night. which was not con-

gave out the following statement:
AT meeting of the board of direc-
tors Of the First National Bank OF AL
legheny, held this evening. October p,
1903. it was resolved that. although the
bank has ample assets TO pay all of its
depositors in full. and leave a handsome
surplus for the shareholders. its sup
posed connection with the Federal Ma
tiOnal Bank of Pittsburg has created
wide distrust. and caused a run on this
bank to such an extent that we feel it
to be our duty to place the bank in vol
untary liquidation and the officers of
the bank are directed TO make applica-
ton to the Comptroller OF the Currency
to take necessary steps to accomplish
this purpose.

Some time ago ] took charge of a
boarding club OF students of our uni

tions ! gave them luncheons made of
biscuits OF light bread, cold meat and
coffee The result on the students was
that many Of them suffered from head
aches. dullness, and Inability TO apply
themselves to study after luncheon
Il knew that the trouble was the
wrong selection OF food and II was not
long before l persuaded some Of them
20 take only GraDe-Nuts with cream
for luncheon. This worked like charm
