An Easy Way To Do It.

Mineral, Idaho, April 11.-Mr. ID.
S. Colson of this place has something
to say which will be of interest to
many men. MIR. Colson claims to
have found simple way to get rid of
pains in the back. Sciatica or Rheu-
matism. He has cured himself and
so claims personal experience in proof
of his method.
Mr.. Colson says:-
Il had awful pains in my hip. They
got so bad at last that | could hardly
walk. | tried several things. but got
no relief till | began to use Dodd's s
Kidney Pills and l had taken but a
few of these pills till the pain left
me entirely.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly did
me lots of good and | consider them
a great medicine"
The remedy that cured Mr.. Colson
is the same that has been making
such sensational cures of Bright S
Disease. Diabetes, Dropsy and Rheu-
matism all over the country. The
name of the medicine is Dodds Kid.

CHAPTER xxI.-continued.

One member of the household was
soon to discover this. Miss Perkins
came upon him unexpectedly, as he
was STOPPING. with his back toward
her. and apparently engaged in close
Iy examining the keyhole of the door
belonging to his masters private
room.
What's that you're doing?" she
cried. sharply.
The individual thus addressed start
ed violently, and something fell to the
ground with chink-something
which he Immediately covered with
his foot before he turned and faced
her without making any reply.
You've changed your ways lately"
she said, seeing he made no answer,
'and always hanging about this door.
What's your game, l should like to
know. Anyhow, you aren't up to no
good. People as gets into respectable
houses under false names very seldom
is up to any good!"
With this Parthian shaft she turned
away and left him. looking back once
over her shoulder, with that same
malicious smile, as she marked the
effect it had produced. What did she
mean by that remark of hers about a
false name? How could she have
found it out? The shot was too near
the bulls eye to have been fired at
random. Good heavens Was it pos
sible she could have any suspicion of
the real truth?
There was no source whatever from
which she might have obtained this in
formation-Ah-!
He flew upstairs at a tremendous
rate, flight after flight, to the top of
the house, to his own room, burst the
door open and entered.
There was modest looking box
in the corner of the room-a box
which contained his few belongings.
Had he remembered to relock this
on the last time when he had occasion
to resort to it?
No, the lid offered no resistance to
his hand.
He began to turn over the articles
which it contained. but could not hit

upon the thing he was in search of.
The little shabby prayer book, contain
ing his real name in his fathers own
handwriting. was gone! Gone! Stolen.
That hateful woman. with her sly,
cat-like step and hypocritical ways.
had taken advantage of his one act of
ca-elessness, in leaving the box un-
locked, to pry into its contents and
carry off the most compromising
article of all.
Well, the damage was done, and
could not be repaired. The only thing
now, was to try and stave off the dis
covery of the double part he had
been playing little while longer.
After a time he rose from his grow
cling attitude with his mind fully
made up. There was only one course
to pursue, and he would pursue it.
He must appear totally ignorant of
the theft, and receive every allusion or
insinuation with an affected utter lack
of comprehension. Let her suspect
what she might. let her act and talk
rs she would, he must keep up the
delusion and try to battle her for --t
least one more day. Or else, If she
seemed inclined to show her teeth-if
she appeared disposed to be danger
Gus, he must hurry on the matter.
A little later in the day as he was
absently staring out of window in
the hail. he heard faint, rustling
sound. and, looking up, saw Miss Fer
rers descending the staircase. He
allowed his eyes to rest upon her for
an instant. telling himself that his OPP
portunities for doing so would soon
be at an end now.
She must have felt his glance. for
a certain air of embarrassment seem
ed to fall upon her, and the color rose
in her face.
Then she gave herself an impatient
twitch, as though she said to herself,
STAND upon your dignity and do not
allow the impertinent gaze of mere
menia1 to discompose you!"
The young man who had picked up
my catalogue at the Royal Academy!
One of the effects of the twitch was.
that it caused her to drop magazine
which she was carrying. just as her
foot was upon the last step.
Before she could stoop to reclaim
it, there was a hurried dart across the
hall, on the part of the menial in
question. and the article was retored
to her with. what was not so much the
respectful Difference of an int-rior. as
the ordinary and natural courtesy of
an equal.
The effect of this simple act of
politeness upon its recipient was as

Negroes Draw Color Line.

According to a writer in the Kan
sas City Journal. Indian Territory has
several exclusive negro towns. One is
called Rentiville. after one OF the pro-
moters. and is located fifteen miles
south of Muskogee, on the Missouri.
Kansas & Texas railroad. The Creek
nation has a number of other negro
towns. among them being one known
as Wildcat. It is a government town
site. Everything In the place is the
property of colored people. The peo-
pie of no other race are allowed to
settle there. 1t is said by those ac-
Quainted with the place that IL an oc-
casional white person chances to come
in on business or otherwise the word
is soon passed around to him: white
man, don't let the sun go down on you
he;e!" A hint is all that is necessary.
Another negro town is Wybark, To-
Gated on the Arkansas river at the
point where the Oklahoma branch of
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad
leaves the main line north Of Musko-
gee. This place is a shack town and
is well known to commercial men
making the territory. By. many 1t is
regarded as upper tendon" in col
ored society. on account of the loca-
ton of a negro academy within q
short distance.

Paper Car Wheels.

In making paper car wheels 120 to
$50 layers are put together with flour
paste and subjected to pressure of
500 tons while at a temperature of 120
degrees Fahrenheit. The blocks are
then turned in a lathe. slightly larger
than the tire. and the hole is bored for
the castiron center. In turning, the
paper blocks make shaving that re-
semble strips of leather. The average
life of the tire of n paper wheel is
about 100000 miles. That represents
about one and one-quarter inch wear.
The centers do not seem to be affect
ed by service, and they are always
good for renewal of tires unless some
accident happens to them.

CHAPTER XXI.
Perkins Revenge.

Friday morning came. bringing with
it, about eleven O'Clock, a message
which struck feeling of chill fore
boding to the heart of the individual
whom it concerned.
The master of the house desired to
speak with the young man Edwards
at once, in the dining-room. What did
it mean? Was it merely some matter
of small importance in connection
with his household duties to which he
wished to draw his attention person
ally. or?
Mr.. Ferrers was sitting in his place
at the head of the table. There was
something judicial looking in his at
titude and expression, and, standing at
short distance from him, was the
housemaid. Perkins.
Come in and shut the door" was
the first sentence addressed to him.
He obeyed noiselessly and care
fully. more than ever mindful of his
assumed position and grateful for
each seconds delay, which allowed
him the opportunity of searching his
brain for some way out of the diem
ma.
Edwards, 1T was the voice of his
master and enemy addressing him
Il have one or two very serious ques-
tions to put to you"
The young man bent his head defer
entially. and seemed to intimate his
entire readiness to answer all inquir-
les.
1T has been brought to my notice
that is. | have reason to believe"-the
voice continued. as its owner seemed
to experience some difficulty in open
ing up the subject-"that | have been
deceived in you, and-in fact. that the
name under which you are at present
passing. is not your own. Is that so?"
Ted answered respectfully. Begging
your pardon, sir, but the name | am
going under is my own. Might | be
allowed to ask who says anything to
the contrary"
You mean to maintain that your
name is Edwards. after ali?" he in
quired. bending his brows upon Miss
Perkins, whose-as he now thought
fit to describe it-unwarrantable inter
ference in the matter had subjected
him to this annoyance.
My name is Edward. sir. An s. at
the end makes it sound better, and

ment she stood motionless. holding the
magazine in one hand, while she look
ed at the individual before her with a
puzzled, searching expression upon
her countenance. Then sudden light
seemed to break in upon her-she
gave a gasp-her expression changed
from curiosity to amazement, and, ut
tering little cry, she turned sharply
round and ran rapidly up the stair
case. leaving the other a prey to the
liveliest astonishment. What other
remarkable incidents was the day to
bring forth?
Meanwhile the young lady had re-
gained the stronghold of her own
apartment. locked the door. and,
throwing the now despised magazine
into a corner. sat down to confide the
state of her feelings to the keeping of
her faithful diary:
"A most extraordinary thing has
happened" she wrote. MY head is
in a whirl and l hardly know what
am writing, or what to do. or think.
To imagine that | have so often puz-
Zled myself over that young mans
likeness to someone else, likeness
which could never quite fix. though

of doing so. Very likely | should
never have hit upon it but for that
apparently. utterly insignificant action
of mine in dropping the book | was
carrying. He rushed forward to pick
it up and returned it to me and-all
at once it struck me like flash
where | had seen him before. 1t was
the same circumstance-the same
action-and the same young man!
1T is a most extraordinary thing
and takes my breath away even while
write; but there is no mistake about
it. There could not possibly be two
people so exactly alike and with pre-
cisely the same -unless-this
is twin brother of the ether. But
If so, how is it that one is a gentleman
and the other only a servant?
WAS there ever such a combination
met with before. and what-oh, what
is the reason for his extraordinary
conduct. unless-unless he is the
Prince in Disguise, after all!

Fish Not a Brain Food.

The idea that fish nourishes the
brain is a popular fallacy. says the
London Lancet. 1t is doubtful wheth-
er any given food in common use con-
tains constituents which have a select
i've action, or the property of minister
ing to any one part of the body more
than another. 1t is often said that
fish is n food which ministers particu-
larly to the needs of the brain because
it contains phosphorus. AS a matter
of fact. fish does not contain it in the
free state. The notion that fish con-
tains phosphorus had. no doubt, its ori-
gin in the glowing or phosphorescence
in the lark. This phosphorescence is
due not to phosphorus at all, but to
micro-organisms.

EXPENSE OF COLLEGE MUSCLE.
Vast Sums Spent by Leading Ameri-
can Universitie

Vast Sums Spent by Leading Ameri-
can Universities.
The impressive totals of university
funds invested in athletic equipment
during the present year make the
outlay for developing the Sound
body" rival for endowment of classi-
cal chairs and foundations, says Col
lier's Weekly. The University of
Pennsylvania is completing an ath-
letic field and a gymnasium in one
magnificent quadrangle at cost of
nearly half million dollars. Har-
ward has just thrown open new field
called the Stadium" at a cost of
$3.50 900.
A movement is under way at the
University of Chicago to endow attn
letics in order to remove certain OBJ
jectionable features of an admission
fee system to struggles for college
honors, and a half million dollars is
the amount needed to provide suffi-
cient capital to maintain the varied
sporting interests of the institution.
Columbia has recently purchased real
estate valued at $4,000, 900, part OF
which will be used for an athletic
field, according to present plans.
Princeton is building gymnasium
which will rival in cost and elaborate
equipment any of her collegiate halls.
There are several preparatory schools
whose gymnasiums and fields added
within the last three years represent
an outlay of $4,000 each.

ARMY TRIALS.
An Infantryman's Long Siege.

This soldiers tale of food is interest
ing.
During his term of service in 18th
Infantry in Cuba and Philippines, an
Ohio soldier boy contracted a disease
of the stomach and bowels which all
army doctors who treated him pro-
nounced incurable, but which Grape
Nuts food alone cured:
In October. 1899, when my enlist
ment expired, l was discharged from
the army at Calulute, Philippines, and
returned to the States on the first
available steamer that left Manila.
When / got home was a total wreck
physically and my doctor put me to
bed saying he considered me the worst
broken-down man of my age he ever
saw and after treating me 6 months
he considered my case beyond medical
aid
During the fall and winter of 1900
and '01 | was admitted to the Barnes
Hospital in Washington. ID. c., for
treatment for chronic inflammation of
the stomach and bowels but after 5
months returned home as bad as ever.
Il continued taking medicine until

and was so impressed sent out for a
package right away.
The result is quickly told for I

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only, time, because 1t
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same. lO
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
12-oz package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Derance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let'

New York Church Endowed.
of the largest endowment fl

One of the largest endowment funds
ever created for a church in New
York City has been formed by the
will of Smith Lafayette Russell, q re-
tired business man. who died March
10th. 1t will amount to 100000 and
the testator's desire is along the line
Of several recent moves to keep alive
church interest in the down town dis
trict from which many old religious
institutions have removed in recent
years.
The Duane Methodist Episcopal
Church in Hudson street on the lower
West Side is the beneficiary.
During the life Of Mrs. Russell por-
tion of the income from the fund is
to be paid her. At her death the en-
tire sum will be placed in trust and
the income, estimated at $4,000, will
be expended in building up the
church. Several Methodist charitable
institutions also will receive sums OF
$4,000 each.
Little is known of Mr.. Russell and
his wife outside of their immediate
friends and neighbors in Washington
Place where they have lived many
years. devoting much of their time to
works of charity.
