Thomas, Terrible Tale.

Liverpool, Jan. According to the
account of the mutiny given by the
Veronica's negro cook, whose name is
Moses Thomas, the murders were
planned SO that the victims had no
chance to defend themselves. Each
was stunned or murdered separately

for them in the dark part, armed with
Delaying pins. The bodies were then
thrown overheard. Thomas says he
barrieaded himself and begged hard
for mercy or he would have suffered

White -four is made from wheat. So Is whiskey.
But neither one can be said to be q physiological
food. Neither represents those superb quail
tiles native to the wheat and that Nature design
ed for her children. White -four. like whiskey, is
the product OF Art-not Of Nature. 1t is, indeed,
merely part Of the perfect whole.
On the other hand, in Shredded Whole Wheat
Biscuit. made from the entire wheat kernel, we
have a food that has been stripped Of one sin
gle organic element. 1t represents the complete
grain just as the soil, the rain and the sunshine
produced it. No effort to improve on the work Of
the Great Master Builder. In this food we have
every property to build and maintain every part
of the body. Defective teeth and weak nerves

EARLIER ORANGES THIS YEAR.
fastening of Porto Rico Fruit May
Drive Out Jamaica Oranges.

The New York Sun says: The arrival of
Porto Rico oranges of this years crop five
weeks earlier than the first receipts last
year was an event of more than usual in
terest to local fruit importers.
Owing to the damage to the Jamaica crop
by the recent hurricane and to the late
ness of that crop because of insufficient
sunshine, the importers of the Porto Rico
article believe that the latter fruit will
come into increased favor this season and
compete more seriously than heretofore
with Jamaica, and even with Florida Or
anges
The trade in Porto Rico oranges started
only two seasons ago, following the re-
moval of the duty. AS there is duty of
about 15 cents barrel on Jamaica oranges
the importers Of the Porto Rico fruit say
it is only question of time before the lat
ter will virtually drive the Jamaica oranges
out of the market.
Only few scattering boxes of oranges
which come from Porto Rico in the course
of season are cultivated fruit, practically
all the oranges growing wild.
They are gathered by the natives in the
interior and sold to the shippers for a few
dollars thousand. Within the last few
years, however, many groves have been set
out, and, beginning with next season, culti-
waited fruit is expected to come here in con-
stantly increasing quantities.

virulence, for 1t was impossible to believe
that the grotesque placing of the dead man
In the chair had been the work of sane
person. Nigel must have been half mad
with drink and the frenzy of an emotional
despair when he perpetrated the CHASTITY
freak.
The suspect himself showed less agitation
than either of the others. Even the deadly
hue of his skin, which had struck Piety so
strongly when she first entered the house
with Mercer, had now given place to a
more natural tint; while the staggering gait
and staring eyes, which had impressed both
the newcomers so strongly as signs of al
coholic excitement. had subsided. He was
standing firmly and steadily in the middle
OF the room, looking cool and collected,
when they re-entered.

such as you" was his surly retort to Mer-
GERS taunt But We got my friends, too,

But the girl was obstinate AS long as
Nigel was with her she felt that no harm

CHAPTER XVII.

As John Mercer fell back from the open
parlor door Piety instinctively pressed for
ward. seized with an irresistible impulse to
learn what it was that had affected the
strong man so powerfully.
But Nigel struggled with her holding her
back.
Don't my girl, don't" whispered he
hoarsely, in her ear. If so be you was to
see, you'd never forget the sight-never!"
But Piety felt that there was more at
stake than he guessed. She. who had heard
the dragging IN of that terrible burden,
knew better than Mercer what it was she
to Even she, however, pre-
pared as she was. felt shock which made
her faint and giddy, when evading Nigels
passage and. by the light of the fiickering
lamp which Mercer still held. looked into
the dark room behind.

head thrown back. arms stretched out upon
the table, the yellow, smoky flame throw
Ing horrible shadows upon his livid face,
the dead man in his dark clothes held 81
lent, awful vigil.
1t almost seemed, in the movement made
by the dim light, as II the dead man him
self was moving.
Piety, with a long shuddering. deep
drawn breath. turned away, dizzy and sick,
and fell against Mercer, who was close be-

It's the work of madman," said he,
hoarsely. He must have been mad drunk
when he did that
Yes" said Piety, drawing the door close
and facing John Mercer fiercely. IT'S the
work of rnadman, no doubt, but not the
work of Nigel Treveddoe."
Nigel himself. who was still in the front
room, heard her, and a faint smile hovered
over his dark features She ran back to
him, and, looking earnestly in his face
said passionately:
You never did this I'm sure of it. Why
don't you speak? Why don't you say who
1t was, II you known?
But John Mercer who had followed her
into the room. and shut the door, to get as
far possible from the loathsome sight

out his brains soon he entered his
room. Neighbors say it was scarcely
moment after he entered the house before
the shot was heard.
