A much closer parallel to the siege
Of Port Arthur can oe found in the
bombardment Of Santiago during the
recent war between America and
Spain. The United States warships
Texas, Indiana and Brooklyn opened
fire on the town at a range Of six
miles, and for three hours pounded
shells into it with such deadly effect
that, although the gunners could not
even see their target, 81 buildings were
wrecked and set on fire, and 1t was
said that few hours more firing
would have laid the whole place in
ruins. Even more effective was the
decentralization caused by the bonn
bardment, which led directly to the
surrender Of the town.

her. He had not kissed her for many

SYNoPsIs.-Uncle Terry Is the keeper
of the Cape light on Southport Island
He has an adopted daughter Telly
(Etelka), grown to womanhood, who
was rescued when q baby from the
wreck Of the Norwegian ship Peterson.
Albert and Alice Page are two or
phans with a heritage Of debt, living In
the village Of Sandgate. Albert Is
college graduate, and through the In
fluence Of his chum. Frank Mason, gets
q position in the law Office Of "Old
Nick" Frye in Boston. Frye Is scound-
rel and Is attorney for Franks father,
a wealthy Boston merchant. He wants
Albert to keep up his intimacy with
Frank, who has a yacht, plenty OF mon
ey and nothing to do but amuse him
self. In an evenings outing with
Frank, Albert fritters away $50. At
the same time Alice Is walking four
miles a day to teach school and sup
porting herself and Aunt Susan. Frye
increases Albert's pay from $75 to SITS
a month as bribe to spy upon the
Nasons. Albert tells Frank Of his
debts, Alice's struggles and his dislike
Of expensive follies. Frank confesses
his disgust with an idle life and induces
his father to make Albert his attorney
In place Of Frye. Albert has $4,000
year to attend to Nason's affairs. He
takes Frank to his village home for
Christmas, with the inevitable result
Frank is delighted with the country
holiday Of sleighrides and skating.
Alice keeps him at distance and tells
her brother that his chum ought to
work for q living. A notice appears In
the papers calling for the heirs OF Eric
Peterson Of Stockholm, whose son and
his wife and child were wrecked on
the Maine coast. Frye Is the attorney.
Uncle Terry goes to Boston and after
telling his story in full gives Frye $500
to recover the estate for Telly. Frank
takes a hint from Alice and studies
law. Albert plans summer vacation
trip to his home for himself and chum.
Alice resolves not to fall in love with
the city chap according to the plot.
Alice avoids meeting Frank alone.
However, he scatters tips so freely
among the villagers that gosstps set
him down as a millionaire counting the
pretty schoolma'am. Franks yacht,
Gypsy, lands on Southport island. AL
bert gets lost and the yacht sails with
out him. He falls in with Uncle Ter
nv. meets Telly, of course, and learns
the story Of the inheritance. Albert
returns to the yacht, confessing that
he has fallen in love with beach
girl He goes back to the Cape and
sketches Telly in the pose he first saw
her. Frye gets all the proofs In Tellys
case and calls for more money. AL
bert takes the matter in hand, mean
while losing his heart hopelessly to
Telly. Frank abandons the yachting
party to join his mother and sisters In
the mountains. Frye loses money In
speculation and demands 5000 from
Uncle Terry. Frank brings his sister
Blanch to Sandgate, and she at once
becomes a warm admirer of Alice. IN
snite of the girls coyness Frank half
gains the battle. Frank proceeds to
win his aristocratic mother over. Frye
loses all and takes his own life.

The letter was as follows:
Messrs. Thygeson & Co.. Stockholm:
Gentlemen-I have good and sufficient
reason to believe an heir to the estate In
your hands exists in the person OF q
Young woman now living with one Silas
Terry, a lighthouse keeper on Southport
island, Maine and known as Telly Terry.

man Terry and Is now on file In WASH

tourney, I turn this matter over to you
for further investigation, and subscribe
myself. respectfully yours,
When Albert had finished reading the
letter aloud he grasped Uncle Terry's
hand and exclaimed, Take those valu-
ables back with you, but leave me the
letter, and l will attend to the rest!
Then he added, you are my guest as
long as you can stay in Boston"
When, two days later, Uncle Terry
was ready to depart Albert handed him
a large package containing a silk dress
pattern for Aunt Lissy, a woolen one
for Mrs. Leach and complete artists
outfit for Telly. with these things"
he said, "go my best regards for those
they are for, and among them are the
photographs of two sketches l made
when was with you that I want you
to ask Miss Telly to paint for me-"
When Telly opened her package she
found two sketches Of herself. one
leaning against rock with her face
resting on her hand, the other sitting
beside a flower decked boat with a
broad sun hat in her lap.

"Tm all right, then, guess" said
Albert, "and now for my plan. When
the officer comes we four will 60 at

leave the door ajar, and when you get

you did not suspect anything wrong,
but tell him you are discouraged and
have put out all the money you can;
also that you are poor and can't at
ford to waste any more on what you
believe to be a hopeless case. Then
ask him to return you the trinkets
you gave him, as the girl values them
highly; and right here is where you
must contrive to get Frye to admit he
has these trinkets. Most likely he
will refuse to give them up until his
fee is paid, and he may ask quite

paying him one or two hundred dollars
I should advise 1t. but not more. II 1t

When Frank and the officer returned

other occupants on that floor had ar

door: it was locked. Then he knocked
harder; no reply. Then he stepped
back to where the others were waiting.

doing so he noticed the two stopcocks
were opened, and he turned them off.
Then he returned to the hall. When

Of crime. The medium next mention
ed, though last in the order Of state
ment, is by no means least in the order
Of influence. This medium consists Of
the juries which serve in our courts.
Here we find the greatest difficulty In
dealing with all varieties Of crime and
the weakest point in all the machin-
cry Of law. There are two classes Of
citizens which should be exempted
from jury duty, for reasons that are
self-apparent: Ministers Of the gos-
pei and lawyers. There Is one class
which should be excluded from jury
duty: That class commonly. but ex-
pressively known as "toughs."
But the failure to register exempts
any one. This is fatal defect In an
otherwise good law, and our law-mak-
ers should devise some plan to over
come this defect. It is unmanly thus
to shirk most important duty Of cit
izenship. The good people Of the state
lament every miscarriage Of justice.
but lamentation should be accompan-
led by heroic effort to remedy every
defect in the due administration Of
law, and no false idea Of mercy should
be permitted to stay the just penalty
Of an outrageously violated law. The
good suffer more than the bad, in the
reproach-mingled with contempt
which IA cast unon our believed com.

pity that it must be said!-by the wan

THEY MUST EAT ARSENIC.

Otherwise tho Makers Of the Poison
Could Not Withstand lee Fumes.
Eating Of arsenic is common mGty-
ria. The Styrians say that arsenic
makes one plump and comely and
gives one strength for great exertions,
such as running or mountain climbing.
Styria, in Austria, gives the world
vast quantities Of arsenic. The manu-
facture- Of this drug is indeed the
main Syrian industry. They who
make arsenic eat it; aB a rule, for thpy-
say that only the arsenic eater can
Withstand the arsenic fumes.
These makers and eaters Of the drug
are comely. They have a blooming and
clear color. They lool, much younger
than they are.
1.-THE foreman In a certain arsenic
factory told me that in his boyhood,
when he first came to that plant, he
was advised to begin to eat arsenic lest
his health suffer from the fumes" says
toxicologist. He did begin, and his
first two or three small doses gave
him a sharp pain, like burn, In the
stomach, and this pain was followed
by tremendous hunger and violent,
disagreeable excitement. But as his
doses increased in frequency and size
their effect became pleasant. There
was no longer pain or excitement; on
the contrary, there was ravenous
appetite and mood Of joyous activ-
ity wherein he could do three mems
work @
"This chap, by the time he got to
be 80, was taking four grains Of arsen-
ic day. He looked at 80. with his clear
pink and white color, no more than 2s.
He was as robust as blacksmith. But
he said he would die at As or so, that
being the age at which all the Syrian
arsenic eaters die"

are found to be as fresh six or seven
years after interment as on the day
