Be cheerful. "A light heart lives
long"
That the worlds wheat crop this
year is to be a full average now
seems certain. The high prices paid
for wheat in the markets of the United
States are not caused by a shortage
in the world supply, and as long as
we export wheat, or have a surplus to
export, the crop of the world is what
will finally determine the price at
which we must sell both the exporta.
BILE surplus and the main body used
for home consumption. The crop is
about the same as that of 1902 and
1903 for all practical purposes. One
foreign estimate is that the crop this
year will be 1864, 900, 900 bushels. The
crop of last year was estimated at
from 3,087, 900 900 bushels to $3.50, 000,-
900, a margin SO wide as to throw
much doubt on the correctness OF the
higher figure. Taking the world as .
whole the yield tends to uniformity;
for when there is a great loss in mi
country there is generally a great gain
In some other country to make Il
good. The crop Of 1902 was estimated
at from 1929, 600, 900 to 3,155, 200. 900
bushels. Even a difference Of a hun.
dred million bushels cuts little figure
in the wheat crop of the world. being
only between three and four per cent
1t will be seer that we cannot hope
for a world price very much in ex.
cess Of the world price of recent
years. The prices for wheat in ex.
porting nations tend to gravitate to-
ward the world price, less cost OF
transportation.

Does he remember how he was
hurt?"
HE declares his men mutinied. be-
cause instead of returning to New
York, he had taken on a cargo for the
East India company, and, that the
blow was given him by his first or e G

Cornelia was taken to the dim un-
canny drawing-rOom by Ameer, and
left among its ill.omened gods, and
odd t~reasuretrove for nearly half an
hour. When madame at length came
to her, she looked ten years older. Her
wonderful dark eyes glowing with a
soft tender fire alone remained UNI

iOus love. They were as vital as ever
they had been, and when Cornelia said

Little Use for Policemen.

The sudden death of Bosworth in
New Britain, says the Hartford Cour-
ant, has naturally called attention to
the remarkable fact that that hustling
city, with its 10000 persons, has only
two policemen at work in the daytime
and only one when the chief eats
his luncheon. It seems to speak vol
umes for the orderly disposition Of the
New Britain people that this has been
the condition for 50 long, and events
have only just called attention to it.

"Over the finished negative is poured

leaves, after the evaporation. q uni

Soon the silver OF the plate works
upon this peroxide and produces q cat

CHAPTER XII.
A Heart That Waits.

Breads! And where on earth can the
lover of boats find a more charming
resort? Close to the Manor Of Hyde,
the country home of Earl Hyde in Nor
folk, there was one of these delightful
BrOads-fat as a billiard table, and
hidden by the tall reeds which border
ed it. But Annie Hyde lying at the
open window of her room in the Manor
House could see it's silvery waters,
and the black-sailed wherry floating on
them, and the young man sitting at
the Prov fishing, and idling, among
the lilies and languors OF these hot
summer days.
An aged man sat silently by her, a
man of noble beauty, whose soul was
in every part Of his body, expressive
ana impressive-a fiery particle not
always at it's window, but when there,
injecting and going through observers,
whether they would OF not.
There had been silence for some
time between them, and he did not ap-
pear disposed to break it, but Annie
longed for him to do SO, because she
had a mystical appetite for sacred
! things and was never so happy and SO
much At rest as when he was talking
to her of them.
Dear father" she said finally, II
have been thinking of the past years,
in which you have taught me SO
much"
1t is better to look forward, An
ME-" he answered. 1.-The traveller to
Eternity must not continually turn
back to count his steps, for if God
be leading him, no matter how danger
or lonely the road, He will pluck
thy feet out of the net"
AS he spoke these words Mary
Damer entered. and she laid her hand
on his shoulder and said, my dear
Doctor Roslyn, after death what then?
we are not all good-what then?"
He looked at her w~istfully and an
swered, Il will give you one thought,
Mary, to ponder-the ~blessedness of
heaven. is it not an eternity older than
the misery of hell? Let your soul
fearlessly follow where this fact leads
mercy"
Then he rose and went away, and
Mary sat down in his place, and Annie
gradually came back to the material
plane of everyday life and duty. In
deed Mary brought this element in a
very decided form with her; for she
had a letter in her hand from an old
lover, and she was much excited by
its advent, and eager to discuss the
particulars with Annie.
1T is from Capt. Seabright, who is
now in P~ondicherry," she explained.
HE loves me.v Annie. He loved me
long ago, and went to India to make
money: now he says he has enough
and to spare; and he asks me II

after listening. began to prepare for gen.
eral exodus.
There was a girding of loins and a bind
ing of rags: lotahs, old bottles. pipes and
dozen other such valuable articles were
gathered and strung dangling to their va
rfous cummerbunds, while a profusion of
knives and ugly-loOking clubs made sud-
den appearance. Even the dogs bestirred
themselves, stretching and snuffing and
leaping about in anticipation of a change.
The two bound men watched the prepara
ton with stolid indifference until couple
of big. hulking fellows proceeded to truss
them up more securely. They protested
but few severe kicks showed them that
docility was the best course. They were
finally gagged with great wads of rags
rolled tight and forced between their teeth
after which their jaws were firmly band
aged. Thus helpless. they were hoisted one
at time by the follows who had bound
them. carried down the road a short dis
lance and dumped unceremoniously into
convenient ditch.
And then. as the night fell, the whole VII
famous crew went hating and floundering
away. with their rags Tapping and their
lotahs and bottles and pots jangling and
their dogs leaping and yelping before and
behind: and one heard the din of their

night had shut them out of sight.

CHAPTER XXI.

The nsxt day was a busy one for Ben
ALI After a long talk with Meredith at
midday. he started off on dog trot toward
Dadur. He made occas onal detours before
he got into the suburbs. stopping here and
there in some of the lower quarters and
holding short whispered conversations with
various men and women. none of whom
were likely to be mistaken for either pros
porous virtuous citizens. He finally ar
rived at Mahommed Rest: but instead of
going into the compound. was his wont.
he ioafed around among the little pOpula
ton beneath the walls. His hurry seemed
to have ceased. and he smoked and cursed
and sprawled in the dust with the LATEST
good-for-nothing of them ALL Once In a
while he would get into an argument with
some one of the men. and these would end
in short struggle. in which Ben Alif was
naturally an easy victor. though to a close
observer these struggles were not as des-
perate as one might have expected from
either the conversation or the looks of the
comba tants
whispers went on IN each case between tho
Exaggerated spasms and gaspings. But IL
the Quarrels were open to suspicion. the
way in which the v 'nnuished man got up
out OF the dust snarling and vowing he
would have quick revenge was absolutely
perfect. The fellow would then get over by
some crony OF his own. and, with many
black looks at the dwarf. whisper and
mutter and perhaps let another into their
confidence. Then the three would stink
surlily away and Ben Alif would jeer and
curse after them.
The dwarf seemed to be very quarrelsome
that afternoon. Five men had left the lit
tie colony, and another. the sixth. started
also. though without any apparent cause;
and to this. strangely enough. Ben Alif OBJ
Jected so forcibly that the fellow dropped
back In the dust again with ill-d sguised
anxiety. Later. another rolled away, and
had almost gained the corner of the wall
before Ben Alif caught him. This fellow
showed fight really. but the dwarf flung
him back into the bunch OF wondering beg
gars with snarl. and blds one of them to
tie the couple who seemed so anxious to
leave the company with a pair of cum
merbunds. and see that they tied them
tight
Finally. at o'clock. about an hour and a
half after the men with whom he had quar-
rolled had decamped. Ben Alif's hurry seem
ed to return suddenly. and after few
words with one of the men he started back
for toxin.
Just about dusk another beggarman ar
rived from the direction In which the dwarf
had gone and entered into an excited con-
versation with several Of his fellows, who,

Singular Birthmark of a Family.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Mrs Belle Harvey of Bowers Mill is one
of a family of four living at that place.
each of whom has a curious birthmark.
The family consists of three sisters and a
baby two years old. Each has black hair,
with a large lock of pure white hair be-
cir ming over the forehead and running
backward The flesh under this hair also
is white and the white mark runs down
uron the forehead. The white mark is said
to look like an ostrich plume laid over the
head of the bearer. The three sisters are
twenty-three, twenty-one and nineteen
years old. The mark is said to be heredi-
tary in their family.
