Why Little Folks Are Big Eaters.

1t has been laid down as physio-
logical rule that the requirements OF
adult diet depend not on the weight of
the eater. but on the extent of his
bodily surface. In the case of chill
dren this rule is further modified.
An infant may weigh one-eighteenth
as much as a grown man. but its sur
face is more than one-seventh as
great. AS the first requirement of the
infants food is to replace the heat
that is continually being lost by ra-
diation from all parts of the body,
the latter fraction determines the
needed proportion of nourishment
rather than the former. But in the
case of a growing child food is also
needed to supply the increase of bod
lily weight. In all, an infants ration
may be five times as much as would
be estimated from its actual weight

Virtues Many Has olive OIL.

1t is invaluable as medicine in
many cases, and especially so for chill
dren.
For a weakly child, or one who is
just recovering from typhoid or some
debiltating fever. salad oil will some
times work wonders. The plan is to

sleepy. He would shut up the book
and 20 to bed. A prodigious yawn
followed, and he nearly dropped his
book.
The next moment a sound of some
thing heavy falling brought him broad
awake with the sensation of cold
wind passing through his hair.
What was it?' Was it in this room
or the next?
The next moment he gave short,
harsh laugh, as he saw that the bullet
from the revolver. which ne had
placed upon the bureau, had fallen
from thence to the ground, where it
had rolled some way.
He picked it up and deposited 1t IN
a drawer, which he locked for greater
security.

sleep. There was not a sound or
movement of any sort in the house.
and he had slept on for about two
hours when, all at once, without
apy warming, he awoke. What had
reused him? The same voice which
he had heard once before in the very
early morning.
Ted" 1t seemed to come to him
through the dividing wall. And this
time. as before. he answered back
without thinking-his senses still half
under the influence of slumber-
yes. father; what is it?"
And the same voice, whether it was
only his own brain, or came from
some unknown source. answered him
back again

ately, at breakfast the next morning.
"how bad you look. Poor boy! Tell
me"-with a shudder-"how did ia

did not suffer much? Oh! | wish |
could have seen him once more. just
for one last look! Dear old dad!"

And then?" in an awe-struck voice
from his solitary listener.
"Then.-that depends" was the
grim reply. You know what the Bi-

"Frightens you. does it?" was the

They turned to leave the room to-
gether. He gave another last look
round before closing the door. Then
turning to his sister. as he put the
key in his pocket, You will have to
break this to mother"

CHAPTER XIV.
An Eye for An Eye.

The room to which he referred was
the one which had been his fathers
private sanctum. Consequently, it
was full of memories to the two who
now found themselves alone in it,
and wherever they turned their eyes
they lighted upon some token of his
presence. or some silent witness of
those habits which were inseparably
connected with his name.
A sheet of writing paper with some
thing written on it lay upon the blot
ting pad. and the pen which he had
last used lay beside it with the ink
dried upon it. Everything spoke of
the dead. His spirit seemed to per
wade the room. which he might only
that moment have quilted.
Ted's eye was caught by the sheet
of paper lying upon the writing ta-
BILE, with something written upon it.

day before he left home, and beneath

whom it was addressed or why it was

If the blank paper could only
speak! If the pen which lay beside
it could be made to carry out what
the hand had failed to complete.
He turned to his sister. who had
sunk upon a sofa by the half-dark-
ened window and was watching his
movements and the play of his coun-
tenance with a gradually increasing
sensation of heaviness about the re-
gion of the heart.

use putting things off, it only makes
matters worse: so listen attentively to

reviewed the troops of friends ana
acquaintances that assembled round
the grave the son of the dead man
wondered, for an instant, whether 1t
were possible for that one false friend
to be among them?
But the idea was rejected as soon as
formed. He looked in vain for one
who corresporded with the descrip-
ton of the tall. thin, elderly man,
with dried-up look and grey nous
tache and who walked with limp
when last seen by the guard.
1t was exactly nine o'clock on the
night of the funeral when Ted Bur
ritt put the key in the door and ad-
mitted himself into the room which
had been his fathers study.
He carried a lamp in his hand.
which he placed upon the writing ta-
BILE. Everything remained as it had
been on that former visit; the only
difference lay in the fact that the
film of dust was a little thicker upon
the various contents of the room.
He was about to seat himself in the
old leather chair in which his father
had always sat. when, apparently
changing his mind, he pushed it back
against the wall and looked round
for another, which he dragged for
ward.
He took the sealed packet from his
breast pocket and placed it on the
table before him. 1t was sealed up
in a sheet of blue paper and in
dorsed-
Papers found by me. after the ac-
cident. on the person of the late Silas
Burritt, Esq, and preserved intact.

1t was of considerable bulk. but
Ted knew that his father was in the
habit of carrying about him n mis-
cellaneous assortment of documents
of no particular importance. For some
time he hesitated to break the seal.
There might be. after all, something
there that the dead man would wish
no other eyes but his own to look
upon; something, not exactly discred-
table. he would not acknowledge that
even to himself, but something which
he might have wished kept private,
and which no one else should seek
to pry into. If that were the case
He cast his scruples on one side.

wrapper. At the first sight of the
contents thus revealed to view. the
young man uttered an exclamation of
dismay. for the first document which
met his eye was burnt and brown. and
reduced almost to tinder.
Were they all alike? If so, the doc
tor would hardly have taken the pains
to preserve, them so carefully.
With delicate manipulation he re-
moved the topmost paper and placed
it on one side. But, with all his care.
the edge crumbled and broke away in
his hands.
Beneath this one was another
equally injured but, below this again,
was a paper only partially singed, so
that an idea of its contents might be
arrived at after careful inspection.
From a, few words that met his eye.
he made it out to be bill of lading.
and put it aside with the others. The
rest he spread out before him on the
table.
