CHAPTER xvII-contlnued.

The forest seemed very still when
she had done,-the only sound the
clanking of the bits as the horses
cropped the withered grass. Then
suddenly the King gathered up his
lines with jerk.
81 cannot believe It," he said harsh
ly. do not deny both that you know
well how to feign and that I would
like to believe you, but you must prove
1t first before do"
How can do that, lord?" she said
helplessly; but shrank, the next mo-
ment, as she saw that already he had
n plan in his mind.
Moving his horse step nearer, he
bent toward her triumphantly. 81 will
send for the Englishman, in your name
or the name you wore-and you shall
meet him in my presence, and | shall
be able to tell from his manner wheth-
er or not you have spoken truthfully."
81 should like to reconcile myself to
you," he went on. "Since first you
came before me and showed by your
entreaty that you thought me some
thing besides an animal, l have felt
friendliness toward you. And should
like to believe that some woman loves
some man as you say you love this
EIglishman." Out of the very wish
fulness of his voice terrible menace
spake: "I shall like it so much that
I shall neither spare you in word nor
deed il you have deceived mel" Draw
ing off his glove, he stretched forth
his hand. "You may find that mans
harshness is little worse than wom-
ans guile" he said bitterly.
Dimly guessing what was in his
mind, she dared not trust herself to
words, but told her gratitude with her
ey es, as she returned his clasp. Then
he sent her back by the one semblance
of a path which ran through the for
est, and himself rode on to his hunt
ers.

The Merry Ha-Ha.

Speaking of laughter writer in the
Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette says:
"The most heartrending laugh is
the laugh of the summer girl who
shook you and is gadding around with
some other fellow.
"The hollowest laugh is the laugh
man laughs when he sees the neck
lie his wife has bought him.
"The most hilarious laugh is the
laugh of the fellow who scoops in the
stakes on a jack-high bluff.
''The cutest, sweetest laugh is the
laugh of your best girl.
"The most enjoyable laugh is the
laugh that's on some one else.
THE most grotesque laugh is that
of the fat woman at a picnic when
she's got a pickle in her mouth"

Philip Hichborn, Rear Admiral United
States Navy, writes from Washington,
d. c., as follows:
"Aner tho use of Peruna for q short
period, I can now cheerfuLiy recon-
mend your valuable remedy to any one
who Is In need of an invigorating
tonic. "-PhiIip Hichborn.
No remedy ever yet devised has re-
ceived such unstinted eulogy from so
many renowned statesmen and military
men as Peruna.
Our army and navy are the natural
protection of our country. Peruna is
the natural protection of the army and
navy in the vicissitudes of climate and
exposure.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

HuMoR BEFORE THE LECTURE.
Novel Manner In Which Ell Perkins
Was Introduced to Audience.

Was Introduced to Audience.
Colonel Dick Woods, editor Of pa
per In Mount Sterling, KY, was a
guest of friend in Chicago few days
ago, and his presence recalled the
manner in which the colonel introduc'
ed Eli Perkins to an audience in
Mount Sterling.
Perkins, whose real name is Mel
vile Landon, when doing stunts as
a lecturer for lyceum bureau, al
ways wanted some prominent citizen
to introduce him to the audience, not
withstanding that he was the sole at
traction and the only name on the
program. Colonel Woods was not par
ticularly fond of Eli, but he was po-
lite to him, and Eli became very in.
sistent that the newspaper editor
should present him.
Eli stuck to the colonel. and at the
proper time dragged him, reluctantly
upon the platform. The editor stood
for a moment, awkwardly looking
over the audience, as If seeking a
loophole of escape, and then, address
ing an acquaintance, he said:
Judge Rogers, let me introduce
you to Mr.. Perkins.
Squire Johnson, shake hands with
Mr.. Perkins.
major Williams, Mr.. Perkins.
Aunt Sally Goodrich, this is Mr.
Eli Perkins.
Elder Kent allow me to present
Mr.. Eli Perkins," And so he went
until Perkins knew as many people in
the audience as Woods did.

DIPHTHERIA GERM
THE ANTI-TOXINE.
Believes He Knows How to Treat
Spinal Meningitis.


Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. "A solution
of the method of treating cases of cere-
bro-spinal meningitis, commonly
known as spotted fever, which, should
it prove successful, will be a great
aid to the medical profession is an
nounced by DR.. Arthur J. Wolff bac-
teriologist of the Hartford Board Of
Health.
DR.. Wolff believes that the anti-tox-
inc of spotted fever is found in the
diphtheria germ. When the epidemic
of spotted fever was at it's hight in
this city DR.. Wolff, assisted by DR..
Allen FL. Williams. began experiments
with pure cultures obtained by pune
lures made in the spinal canal, and
all these lymphss so obtained were
found to contains the typical germ
which is the cause of the disease He
reached the conclusion that the diph-
iberia bacillus may be the much want
ed anti-toxine lin the following man
ner:
First. at the time when spotted fever
was at it's hight diphtheria died out
There was not a case reported while
spotted fever was at its hight.
Second, microscopic examination of
the germ taken from the spinal canal
of the victims of cerebro-spinal menin-
gifts showed hardly trace of the diph-
no trace at all. which is wholly tin-
usual.
Before experiments to ascertain the

Toxic, Dec. 8, Evening-In disabling

able to reinforce the Russian second
Pacific squadron, the Japanese have
accomplished the main object of the
desperate assaults against the fortress

past three months.
There is now a strong probability
that. while continuing the siege, they
will avoid losses of the magnitude, al

MURDERED HUSBAND
AND BURNED HIS BODY.
The AtrOciOus Deed of Woman
~ Near Americus.

He Near Americus.
Americus. Ga. Dec. 9.-The most
heinous murder committed In this vi
cinity in years was revealed this aft
ernoon in the discovery of the dead
and charred body of Melton Wright,
a negro, 30 years old. concealed behind
pile of burning pine logs with his
head, arms and legs already burned
away.
The discovery was made by a negro
woman visiting at Wrights house on
a plantation four miles south of Amer
icus. Wright's wife. Anna Wright has
since confessed the killing and was
jailed here tonight. She shot her
aged husband as he lay In bed and
afterwards dragged the corpse away
and burned it in an effort to conceal
the crime. The womans statement
was that she had been drinking recent
ly and whisky may have caused the
murder, although white tramp has
been living with the couple recently
for whom the woman conceived ten
derness.
The deliberation exercised in well
nigh destroying the body by fire causes
much astonishment here.

RUSSIANS ABANDONED
THE SHIPS IN HARB0R.

TOXIC Dec. 8, 5 p. m.-Considerable
establishment is expressed here over
the fact that the Russians in no way
resisted the disabling of the Port Ar

opinion is entertained that the Rus
SLAMS opened the seacocks of the sub
merged vessels so as to lessen their
exposure to the Japanese fire.
The recent cessation of mine clear
ing was taken as evidence that the

pany's Indebtedness has been incurred
in the work done upon vessels under

or other executions. The money ex-
pended on the construction of the st.

present financial stress.
The company will be rehabilitated
