and possibly the change OF climate
doesn't agree with him. I'm going to
send him into the country for few
days. He is entitled to 4 rest. and
there's NO reason why he shouldn't
have it. Jim and l have been through
many hard fought engagements to-
gcther, but at last a decisive victory
is In sight. Do you know Arthur Nor

You bet do: but he don't know

CHAPTER xxIl-continued.


John Burt had seated himself at his
desk. which he was putting in order.
Surprised at Sans positive state
nent he turned quickly. He saw
Blake standing by she door. A
shaft of sunlight fell full on his face.
HIS hand was on the knob, and he
stood motionless as IL riveted to the
floor. There was that in his express
Sion and attitude which challenged
John Burt's attention.
Students of psychological phenom-
ena may offer an explanation OF the
impaipable impression received by
John Burt in that moment His was
the dominating mind: Blake's the sub
1ective. By that mysterious teiepathy
which mocks analysis and scorns de-
scription a message passed to John
Burt. He yet lacked the cipher to
translate it. It dotted no definite
warning and sounded none but .
vague suspicion. but the vibration.
though faint. was discordant.
John Burt glanced at Blake and
turned to Sam
You surely are mistaken, Sam" he
said. Miss Garden is abroad and
will not sail for New York IUr several
days"
rs that so?" Sam ran his fingers
through his red hair and looked puz-
zled. That's mighty eusious. I've

big manufactures, but by small farm
ers who sell the flowers by the pound
to the manufacturers.
About 1000 plants are required to
each acre in the rose gardens and
these yield about $4,000 pounds Of
roses: The gardens require a sunny
slope and much irrigation. The
bushes are cut down to the ground
each year and the plants attain an
enormous age. The flowers are picked
each morning while the dew is on
them, because it is then that they re-
tain their perfume.
|. During the blossoming season many
|. tens of roses are taken to the factories
iii great baskets, where they are
dumped into big copper stills which
hid half a. barrel. of water. each.
Then comes the distilling process
which results in rose water. The
rose water itself is afterward distilled,
and on top of the fluid which arises
from this process float oily drops.
These are very precious, for they are
the essential oil of the rose which is
known as altar or otto of roses.

Bird Learned Too We'll

"A few years ago while l.. was in
New Haven" said a Yale alumnus, "a
young woman friend of mine, who
was going south for the winter, turned
over to my care her pet, parrot, of
which she was very fond. The bird
was to remain with me until she re-
turned. l occupied a suite of rooms
in one of the principal dormitories,
and in the afternoons had many visi-
tors from the boys in college.
when the parrot came it was as
nice a bird as one could expect to
find. She was thoroughly respectable
in her language. Among. my daily
visitors was student named Smith.

Stage. For due and easy nutrition
food should be taken slowly and the
= mind should not be intensely exercis-
ed during the process. >
+ Every one knows that violent bodily
seNercise<is bad just after meal, and
mental exertion is equally SO. Wise
people do not even argue during or
just after dinner, and observation of
.atterdinner speakers neither endure
themselves nor excite in their hear.
Sers any severe intellectual effort In
fact, the experience of countless gen
erations, from the red Indian of the
woods to the white-shirted diners of a
modern party, has prepetuated the
lesson that man should not eat
ia lone, nor think much at this time,
but should talk and be talked to while
he feeds. Most people DO not think
much. when they talk, and talking is a
natural accompaniment of eating. and
Sand drinking. How does it fare with
the many solitary women of to-day? ?

Evils Of Eating Alone

There are some few happily dispos-
ed individuals, says the London Lam
Get, who can dine alone, and not eat
too fast, nor too much, nor too little.
With the majority it is different.
The average man puts bis novel or
his paper before him, and thinks that
he will lengthen out the meal with
due deliberation by reading little
with, and more between, the courses
He will just employ his mind enough
to help, and too little to interfere with
indigestion. In fact, he will provide
that gentle mental. accomplishment
which With happier people conversa-
tion gives to meal. This is your soil
tarys excellent idea. In reality he
becomes engrossed in what he is
reading till, suddenly finding his chop
cold, he demoliskes it in a. few mouth
fuls; or else he finds that he is hun
CRY, and paying no attention to the
book, which he filings aside, he rushes
through his food as fast as possible,
to plunge into his armchair and litera-
ture afterward. In either case the
lonely man must digest at a disadvan-

AS We Rode Together

Up the sweep of the bridge we dashed
together,
1t rocked to the crash of the meeting
Down rained the buds of the dear spring
weather,
The elm tree flowers fell like tears
There, as we rolled and writhed to-
I threw my arms above my head,
For close by my side in the lovely
weather,
I saw him reel and fall back dead
I and the slayer met et-ategether,..
He waited the death-stroke there in
his place,
With thoughts Of DEATH in the lovely
weather
Gapingly mazed at my maddened face.
Madly I fought as we fought together;
In vain; the little christian band
The pagans drowned, as in stormy
weather,
The river browns lew-lyins land
They bS1nd & my blood-stained hands to-
They al bound his corpse to nod by my
Then on we rode, in the bright March
weather,
With clash of cymbals did we ride
We ride no more no more together;
My prison bars are thick and strong,
I take no heed of any weather.
