ing to-.ask you not to. tell me; Mrs.
Hay,' she said. Captain Dade has
given me to understand there was
!: something to be ssinvestigated, but
preferred that should not ask about
it. Now, the general will be down in
Is or 20 minutes. I suggest that we
walk over to the hospital and see how
Mr.. Field is getting on. We can talk,
you know, as we go: Then you will
breakfast with US. Indeed, may !
not give you cup of coffee now,
Mrs. Hay?" -. =.
But Mrs. Hay said no. She had had
coffee before coming. She would 20
and see if there was anything they
could do for Field, and would try
again to induce Mrs. Dade to listen
to certain Of her explanations
But Mrs. Dade was silent and pre-
occupied. She was thinking Of that
story of Nanette's going, and won
dering whether it could be true. She
was wonderin g if Mrs. Hay knew the
couriers had gone to recall Hay, and
that If he and Nanette failed to re-
turn it might mean trouble for both.
She could accord to Mrs. Hay no con-
fidences of her own, and had been
compelled to decline to listen to those
with which Mrs. Hay would have ia
1ored her. She was thinking of some
thing still more perplexing. The gen
eral, as her husband finally told her,
had asked first thing to see Hay, and
later declared that he wished to talk
with Mrs. Hay and see Nanette Was
it possible that he knew anything of
what she knew-that between Hays
household and Stabber's village there
had been communication of some kind
that the first thing found in the In
dian pouch brought home by Capt.
Blake was a letter addressed in Nan
cite Flowers hand, and with it three
card photographs, two of them of un-
mistakable Indians in civilized garb,
and two letters, addressed, like hers,
to Mr.. Ralph Moreau-one care of the
Rev. Jasper Strong, Valentine, Neb.,
the other to the general delivery,
Omaha?
Yes, that pouch brought in by Capt.
Blake had contained matter too
weighty for one woman, wise as she
was, to keep to herself. Mrs. Blake,
with her husbands full consent, had
summoned Mrs. Ray, soon after his
departure on the trail of Webb, and
told her of the strange discovery.
They promptly decided there was
only one thing to do with the letter.

to examine further, they decided to
search the pouch. There might be

cleared up, yet she knew there were
reasons why she wanted him away
reasons hardest Of all to plalsibly
explain. There were reasons, indeed,
why she was glad Nanette was gone.
:, She was glad Nanette" was gone,
because Field, wounded and present,
would have advantages over possible
suitors absent on campaign-because
all the women and few of the men
were now against her, and because
from some. vague, intangible symp-
toms, Mrs. Hay had satisfied herself
that there was something in the
wind Nanette was hiding from-her
benefactress, her best friend, and it
seemed like cold-blooded treachery
Hay had for two days been disturbed,
nervous and unhappy, yet, would not
tell her why. He had been cross-ques-
Joining Pete, "Crapaud" and other en-
ployes, and searching about the
premises in way that excited Curl
osity and even resentment, for the
explanation he gave was. utterly in
adequate. To satisfy her, if possible,
he had confided, as he said, the fact
that certain money for which Lieut..
Field was accountable, had been
stolen. The cash had been carefully
placed in his old-fashioned safe; the
missing money, therefore, had been
taken while still virtually in his
charge. '''They might even suspect
me-" he said, which she knew would
not be the case. "They forbade my
speaking of it to anybody, but I sim
ply had to tell you" She felt sure
there was something he was conceal
ing; something he would not tell her;
something concerning Nanette, there
fore, because she so loved Nanette he
shrank from revealing what might
wound her, indeed, it was best that
Nanette should go for the time, at
least, but Mrs. Hay little dreamed
that others would be saying-even
this kindly, gentle woman before her
that Nanette should have stayed
until certain strange things were
thoroughly and satisfactorily ex-
planned.
But the moment she began, falter-
ing not little, to speak of matters
at the post, as a means of leading
up to Nanette-matters concerning
Lieut.. Field and his financial affairs
to her surprise Mrs. Dade gently up
lifted her hand and voice. II am 60

From Peasant to Pope.

In the choice of the cardinal-patri-
arch of Venice as pope the Catholic
church has once more reminded the
world that in her wonderful Organi-
zation she blends the two seemingly
irreconcilable ideas of absolutism and
democracy. Her highest office is
again bestowed, as on many previous
occasions. on man of the humblest
origin.
As related in a cabIegram to the
New York World. Giuseppe Sarto was
one of eight children born of peasant
parents in the town of Riese, near
Venice. His older brother. Angelo, is
a letter carrier, besides keeping a
small shop in which he sells pork. His
sisters are all reported TO be engaged
in equally modest callings. Nor did
the new pope as patriarch of Venice
think it best to raise his relatives out
of what both he and they seemed to
have regarded as the walks of life in
which they naturally belonged.
Rising by his own labors and tai
ents step by step from the office OF
parish priest in a Venetian village
without the backing of wealth OF
rank or influence, this peasant-born
man now finds himself called to the
throne of st. Peter, to which more
than 1OO,OOO,OOO people bear spiritua
allegiance. Macauley in his eel
ebrated analysis of the vitali
ty of this great historic church
adverts to her marvellous holC
on the masses of the common people
Can it be doubted that it is true, al
least in part, to the fact, just newly
attested in the election of Plus X.
that there is in her service no priest
so poor or of such obscure origin thai
he may not hope to bear the keys OF
ST. Peter?

Ninety-nine out of every 100 dis

disorders are all caused by indiges-

The Human Body.

The blood, muscles, bones and other
parts of the human body are composed
of many chemical constituents, and a
correct chemical analysis would be
long and tedious. The specific gravity
of the blood is 1,02S, and 10 parts of
every 1000 are water. OF the other
parts chloride of sodium, chloride po-
tassium, carbonate magnesia, calcium
phosphate, calcium lactate, potassium
phosphate, sodium carbonate and other
constituents are found. This is gen
orally true, with variations also, of
tissues and bone. The fundamental
substance of bone is composed of or
ganic matter, combined with various
inorganic salts, in which calcium phos-
phate largely predominates. In addi-
ton the bones contain calcium carbon
ate. calcium fiuoride. magnesium phos-
phate. sodium phosphate and sodium
chloride.

A Rocking shrine.

The most wonderful temple in the
world is built on a rocking stone on
the summit of mountain in northern
India which is over 10000 feet high.
The rock weighs many thousands of
tons, but is balanced on so fine a point
that a comparatively light pressure is
sufficient to make it sway. Hlndoo
priests teach their followers that this
rock was placed in position by the help
of the gods, and thus they add consld-
erably to the feeling Of awe which they
desire to create.
WOrshipers at this shrine must first
make n perilous ascent of the noun
tain. Then they spend seven days of
preparation in temple built OH the
solid mountain before they are permit
ted to make the final passage to the
mysterious rocking stone. To reach
this it is necessary to cross n bridge
over Il great chasm, for nature and
man have combined to make this Hin
doc shrine difficult of access. After
crossing the bridge the pilgrim mounts
a ladder, to which he clings in terror
for his life here and in the hereafter
The temple on the rock is necessarily
small. Three priests ofiiciate there
but its mysteries no man is permitted
to reveal. Europeans have seen it only
from q distance.

Rnttnninr n Coat.

Buttoning a mans coat from right TO
left was the original way, when our
ancestors, wrapped In skins, held the
right edge with the left hand and
naturally inserted fastening thorn
with the right hand. This right to left
custom has been retained by the He
brew priests in their garb to this day.
When fighting men became necessary
and swords and knives had to be
drawn by the right hand from the
left side. the edge of the coat, buttoned
from right to left, was found to be in
the way, and men began buttoning
from the left. Nonfghting women
and priests continue to follow the old
custom

Jewels on an Idol.

The jewels of an Indian idol must be
worth stealing if many of those re-
markably hideous images possess such
valuable head ornaments as one made
for the idol Parthasathy, in the Tripli-
cane temple Mt Madras. The orna-
ment is worth some $4,000 rupees and
is made of sovereign gold. studded with
diamonds, cmeraIds and rubies, the
largest emerald being valued at 1000
rupees and the biggest ruby and dia-
mond at 800 rupees apiece.
