CHAPTER XVII

The next morning Ethel attempted to
rise, as usual, but found herself 30 Ill
with a sick headache that the attempt
was vain. Every time she lifted her
head from her pillow, it throbbed wild
ly, while blind dizziness came over her
to such an extent that she felt it were
better to keep still for a while until it
passed away.
At nine o'clock a servant came TO her
room, and she sent an excuse to the
family for her no&-appearance. About
ten a message came from Sir Reginald,
asking how soon she could come to him ?
She returned for answer that her head
was still In such pain that she feared not
until afternoon.
About five DR.. Elfenstein called to see
his patient, and his lordship at once re-
quested him to look after his secretary,
saying that she was not able to come to
him, while he was most anxious to see
her. Mrs. FREEDOM was then dispatched
to Miss Nevergail's room to prepare her
for q visit from the doctor.
AS the young man entered, he was
really startled to see how wan and pale
the excitement Of the night before, and
a few hours illness, had made her. She
Had made several attempts to rise, and
had succeeded in dressing herself, but the
exertion had overcome her, and once
more she had been obliged to recline up
on the bed, while her large dark eyes,
and black dress, made her cheeks seem
almost like snow.
"Oh, doctor!' she sighed, az he ad-
Vanced and took her hand in his. "Can
you give me something to stop this head
ache, SO that can 60 to Sir Reginald ?
He has wanted me all day, and has sent
for me several times, and must see him,
but cannot seem to get there"
"YOu have done right to keep still. I
win give you a remedy that think will
cause you relief in an hours time. I'm

Preparing a liquid, he carefully held

you can visit his lordship in the length
of time mentioned"
1t seemed that the medicine, and his
calm, kind words did soothe her, for at
once abe fell into the restful sleep 40

long one, and It was seven o'clock In the
evening before she crept through the hall,

OVERSTRAINED YOUTH,
ExpSrt0 Say that Germany's CONNER

ExpSrtS Say that Germany's CONNER
cial Rise Has Been at Great Cost.
Prussian military authorities are be-
coming alarmed at what they term the
degeneration of the German youth. In
countries like Germany, where a term
Of military service is required of every
able man, the examinations for army
fitness are pretty apt to indicate the
true state Of the nations health. and
when seventeen out Of every thousand
applicants have weak hearts, it is no
wonder that the authorities decide
there is something wrong.
Between the years 1881 and 1886 the
annual average Of persons with heart
trouble was low, only 1.5 per thou
sand. and high-water mark was reach
ed in 1898, when the average was
found to be ia.
Perhaps the best opinion on the
cause Of this state of affairs Is that
offered by DR.. Stricken, an army sur
geon, who has given the matter care
full study. He declares that overwork,
irregular exercise, and immoderate
and too early use Of tobacco and intox-
icants are responsible for much of the
trouble. Another point to which the
Doctor calls attention is the practice
Of putting children at work too early.
As they often are required to toll be-
yond their strength, the strain, with
irregular hours Of rest, results in prem
allure breakdowns, which, the Doctor
is positive, have much to do with the
general standard Of health.-Washing-

When they neared the door Of the ruin,
however, Ethel felt strong current of
air upon her cheek, which revealed the
fact that 1t stood wide open, and in
stantly a deadly fear, of the horrible
creature that had escaped, being still
near, seized her, and again she shrank
closer to her friend, while her faltering
steps told Of departing strength.
Without word, Earle Elfenstein lift
ed her In his arms, and SO passed into the
passageway. Remembering that his
presence there must be kept secret, the
young girl whispered:
"Step softly; let no one hearg'

she murmured, anxiously.
A sly look back towards the corridor
caused her to exciaim, In a whisper, as
she laid her hand entreatingly on his
arm:
mot there, doctor, promise me you
will not return to that place this night,
but will go directly home"
Again Earle yielded to the pleading of
the sweet girl beside him, and again an
swered:
"Then must either drop from your
window or go through the hall. Stay!

this, In return for my not investigating
further, what l see you do not wish ex-

Ethel hesitated, then remembering that
she could not see Sir Reginald that night,
she gave the promise.
A moment more passed, and then the
strap had been fastened, the doctor had
whispered GOOD night" and she watch
ed him disappear amid the darkness and
storm.
Darling out, she secured the strap
without trouble, fastened down the win
dow, and soon slept under the effects Of
the anodyne he had SO thoughtfully left
for her use.
Well indeed was it for her that she
could sleep, for without some rest she
could never have borne the terrible ex-
element that awaited her in the nearing
hours Of the coming day.

Chicago, April 2s.--At todays ses-
sion Of the national municipal league
draft proposed for a municipal noml-
mating law was submitted by the COM
mittee on nomination reform.
Prof. James Mavor, Of the University
of Toronto spoke on THE Functions
Of the Municipality With Special Re-
ferences to Public Services"
He sketched the development of mu-
nicipal enterprise in this country and
Europe and said that in America the
history Of the exercise OF control by
the colonial, federal and state author
ity over the mum ;ipalities shows that
there has been since colonial times a
iiminution of local autonomy and an
increase Of the authority Of the state
legislature.
although the extent TO which the
powers of the state government are
exercised varies in different states"
said he. "the principal that the state
government has right to give, with
hold or amend municipal charters Is
universally admitted and with this ad-
mission, there appears 10 fall any pre-
'ense Of complete local autonomy.
"The Industrial development which
has condIced to the rapid building UP
Of cities in the United States has been
RESPONSIBLE for certain haphazard
growth. People have been too busy
with their own affairs to regard SER
iously the affairs Of the community
and thus there has In some cases been
comLlete disregard Of sanitation, while
natural beauty has been destroyed and
no artificial beauty has been devised
to take its place. Only within recent
wears has the economic value of agree
allie surroundings been realized by
municiple governments in the United
States. The duties Of providing the
most perfect sanitation possible and
public buildings Of the utmost beauty
possible fall clearly into the hands Of
the municipality because the one is an
indispensable condition of a healthy
population and the other of an ener-
getic one.

Legal Fight Wased by Heirs Of
Mrs. Charles Fair Comes to
Final Settlement.
AN IRON BOUND AGREEMENT
Nelson's AppeaSed With $780,
600 While Bulk of Fortune
Goes to Dead Mans
Sisters.

New York. April 2S,-It has just
been learned that the terms OF final
settlement between the Fair estate and
the heirs of Mrs. Charles L. Fair will
entail a total payment 10 the Nelson's
of New Jersey, representing Mrs. Fair.
Of nearly s775,O00. exclusive of personal
property estimated to be worth $50, 900
or $4,000. 1t is understood that the
Nelson's have accepted s25O,O0O in cash
as compromise for theirsclaims and
that the battle for the Fair millions is
ended. Besides this sum, they eventu-
ally will receive approximately $780,
900 additional. AS they received s425,-
900 on September 10, their total in
heritance will amount to nearly $780,
600.
This final settlement is in accordance
with an iron-bound agreement which
the Nelson's have signed to offer any
further obstacle to a complete and
final settlement. According to the
same authority the James G. Fair mill
lions will be distributed together with |
the Charles Fair estate in San Fran
cisco within two weeks. Mrs. oelrichs
will leave for San Francisco this week
to join her sister Mrs. w. X. Wander
bit, Jr., who with her husband al
ready has proceeded TO the Pacific
coast.
BY the terms of the settlement, it is
said. Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs oelrichs
win receive about s2.OOo,OOO each from
the estate of their brother. They will
at the same time receive some $S,0O0,-
600 as their portion Of the James G.
Fair estate. which would have gone to
