from 81 Cypr1dn s Cnurcn The 1nterment
was at Mount Olivet cemetery. Leitch had

Judge Grggs of Georgia, it is stated. in
variably selected the train on which Leitch
was porter, he was always SO well look
ed after by him.
The conductor in whose crew the colored
porter had worked accompanied the body
to this city and attended his funeral this
morning. Speaking of the victim of the ac-
cident, the conductor said that nothing too
good could be said about him. Before ac-
cepting a position in the Pullman service
Leitch was employed by the Spanish min
lister to. this country, and the latter became
so much attached to him that he took him
on trip with him to Spain.
About five minutes before the accident
occurred the porter left the dining car and
went to the forward coach, where he was
reading newspaper when the crash oc-

STOCKS OF PROVISIONS.
Lard In New York offered Laid Down
in Chicago at $7.75.

III SIltSdbO ah Vf"S
Chicago Drovers Journal: The packing
In Chicago since March l aggregates 2.3G4,-
900 hogs, a decrease of $4,000 from the
same time last year.
Stocks of provisions in Chicago, accord
Ing to the RoloscH estimate, are 29,2J0
barrels pork, 55, $50 tierces lard and 2s,250,-
900 pounds ribs. This indicates an ir-
crease since July l of 1850 barrels pork,
of 1870 tierces lard and Of over 5000 900
pounds ribs. On July Is last year the sup
ply Of pork was 1900 barrels, lard $4,000
tierces and ribs rs, $50, 900 pounds.
There Is not likely to be any more
fireworks in the provision market such
as we had in lard early in the week." said
a provision specialist. 1--WE are of course
likely to have a continuation of the nerv-
Gus and irregular fluctuations that we
have had during the last day or two, but
there will be no wild upheaval or bad
smash. Both sides appear TO ave the
market more closely In hand. and are able
to take advantage more quickly of any
extreme fluctuations. The packers have
their houses well filled with product, and
are apparently willing to protect the mar
ket and wait for a cash demand"
There are conditions In the lard trade"
said one Of the big packers and refiners
Saturday, which have not existed for
many years. With the September price
here at $S.15 and the July 1916, l am Of
! Tered lard from New York laid down In
my warehouse at $7.75. With the large
| holders underselling the local market this
way l look on the situation as decidedly
| bearish. There is no cash trade In raw
lard. The conditions have entirely knocked
out our German trade. 1t costs 40c per 100
pounds over and above the prime steam
to refine this lard and put 1t into 2S-lb.
buckets and 1t is selling in Liverpool 4oc
less than prime steam. The difference be-
tween the July and September is greater
than since 1893"

HOOK WORM.
CORN of Laziness Is Worrying North
Carolina Board Of Health.

Washington. July 24-Although 1t
has been less than six months since
Or. Chas. w. Stiles, chief Of the divis-
ion OF zoology OF the public health and
marine hospital service, officially an
nounced the discovery OF h hook
worm, or germ of l~aZiness," prepara-
tons are already under way In seyeral
OF the southern states to utilize tho dis
covery in combating the disease.
The state board Of health of North
Carolina, through its secretary, has
taken the lead in the work.
1t is asserted by scientists here that
the health officials of that state soon
viii make an important announcement
as q result of the experiments they are
now conducting. For obvious reasons
the experiments are being carefully
nounced hat as soon as satisfactory
results have been obtained they will be
fully exploited.
The disease which results from the
ravages of the hook worm Is called
'u~ncinariasis' by the scientists. IN
common %parlance 1t is known as lazi-
ness. Apparently 1t Is mainly confined
to one climate. DR.. Stiles thinks the
ancient Egyptians were acquainted
with the parasite.
A study of the conditions OF the most
widely infected regions OF the south,
mainly Florida, show that the parasite
attacks children in the rural sections
at a very early age. 1t has been dem
onstrated that children who go bare
footed or who are permitted to loll
around In summer time are the special
victims Of the hook worm.
When the parasite thus gets started
i thrives marveiously to the injury Of
It's victims, actually arresting the de-
yelopment Of certain parts Of the body
and delaying the age Of maturity.

CHAPTER III.
I MEET IEUAN GWYLLT.


When I rode away from the inn the
next morning I looked up at the win
dows of the house opposite. 1t was a
gloomy, bare looking place, and,
sharply as 1 glanced over 1t, l saw no
sign OF life stirring. The next half
hours easy travelling took me far be-
yond every sign OF human occupancy,
The hills rolled all around me, gray and
bleak and bare In the pale February
sunshine. and l rode on steadily till
noon, when I halted n refreshed my
self and Whitesock with provender ]
had carried from the inn.
So far I had kept he path easily,
from the directions with which the
saddler had furnished me. and when ]
resumed my journey and had gone
nearly two hours march from my
hating place ! saw before me. on q
ridge against the sky, the first human
habitation I had met for many, many
miles.
I was now riding up beside a noun
tain brook which ran swiftly through
the glen, leaping and boiling down a
succession of tiny terraces of rock. 1t
was swollen with rain, but the down
pour had not been recent. for the first
muddy flush had run of, and the tor
rem was clearly, darkly brown.
AS I neared the shepherds cottage
the ascent became easier, and wide
patches Of smooth grass land began to
spread out on both sides of the stream.
Opposite the house, but on the farther
bank, I saw a child playing. a boy of
perhaps 6 or z years Did. He saw me
ct the same moment and, at sight Of a
stranger, bolted for the house like a
rabbit for Its burrow.
The only bridge was a slender trunk
thrown across the stream, and half way
he slipped and fell. Springing down,
I a. to the bank. following O well
