course is next to be pursuedT
5"We must go to the porter's lodge, on
une premisss--E think the keeper ia still
there-get the keys of the hall, and In
vestigate the ruined part, with its con-
ceaied room. If we find all as here said,
we must at once publish the facts, far
and wide. I should also recall the ser
wants, who probably are still near, and
reopen the house; and from his own home
bury the real baronet, All these years
q false baron has reigned in his stead"
The gentlemen acquiesced in the plan,
and silently wendell their way TO the now
deserted hall. They did not take the
front entrance to the grounds, but gained
It by a shorter route, emerging at the
rear of the house, and so passing unseen
to the clump of bushes, behind which
was the entrance previously used by DR..
Elfenstein.
Once in the corridor, they FASTENED to
the end near the tower stairs, and there
wide open, exposed to view through still
parted panels and displaced shelves, lay
the concealed room which for twenty.
Eve years had held poor Sir Arthur
a prisoner, just as the journal had de-
scribed it.
Every link was now perfect! The hor-
ribie tale was true! If further confrma,
tion was needed, 1t was at hand, in the
shape Of the one note written by Regi
maid to his brother, when he had given
him pen, ink and paper, at his earnest
request. This note fell from a book that
AIr. Lee picked from the table. Lawyer
Huntley knew the writing at once, as he
had often received notes from the false
baronet, in relation to legal matters. .,
Having discovered all that could be
done that day, the three gentlemen wend
ed their way from the place, and after
returning to their homes for their even
ing meals, they all decided to meet at the
village inn, and there make known the
contents of the mysterious wallet.

PIANOS IN GERMANY.

Enormous Product Of Fine 1nstrU"
ments at Half the American Price,
Ell. Harris, United States CONNER
cial agent at Eibenstock, Germany, has
lately transmitted to the State De-
partment in Washington, some inter-
esting information on the subject OF
the piano industry in Germany. Among
other things he says;
'"The manufacture Of pianos in Ger
many has reached state of perfection
attained by no other nation. Admitting
that in other countries particular firms
produce instruments which in every re-
spect are equal to the best German
make, it is claimed that as an indus
try, considering the number Of facto-
ries and the high exports to nearly
every country in the world, the man"
ufacturers of this empire are a long
distance in advance of all their rivals
In spite of the enormous sale of pianos
every year within the limits Of the
empire, the manufacturers are depend

the number produced. The success Of
the German piano is due to the fact
that they are cheap, comparatively
speaking. Two hundred and fifty dol
lars will buy very fine piano in this
country. The construction Is always
apace with the latest art designs, spe-
cial attention being paid to the wood
work; they not only present an ele-
giant appearance, but are solid and
durable"
With this introduction Mr.. Harris
goes on to state that there are 435
piano factories in Germany, which
manufacture $4,000 instruments an
nually. OF this number 40 are To-
Gated in Berlin, u in Stuttgart, q in
Dresden, 16 in Leipzig, is in Ham
burg, 10 in Leignitz, in Zeitz, and
the remaining 1877 in Munich, Halle,
and Brunswick. In the past 20 years
the export Of pianos from Germany
has increased from $1,9OO00O to &c.
10000 annually. Great Britain is at
present Germany's best customer, buy
ing 40 per cent Of the total exports,
although prior to 1890 the Argentine
Republic, which now ranks second, was
the best market for German pianos.
Belgium ranks next after Great Brit
ain and Argentine, and then comes
Australia, which takes 100000
worth Of German pianos annually.
Russia $1,0OO,OO0 worth and Holland
T,OO0,OO0; Brazil, Norway, Sweden,
South Africa and Chile coming next In
order. Mr.. Harris also tells us that
Germany is a large manufacturer of

who paid the same wages and whose
family numbered only two, expert
enced the greatest difficulty In per-
suading one to stay with her. Mrs.
Green was troubled about 1t, and nat
urally sought suggestions wherever
she could get them. One day the two

After suffering from Kidney Disease for
three years; after taking treatment

man says:

BILE for three years and tried six doctors

boxes Of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they
not only cured my kidneys, but gave
me better health in general. OF course

others and know a number now who
are using them with good results"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an excep-
tion. Thousands give similar expert

RUSSIAN PROPHET
Predicted Japanese Supremacy Near.
100 Years Ago.

Predicted japanese Supremacy Nearly
100 Years Ago.
That the Japanese would one day be
rulers Of the ocean coast of Asia is
the prediction made almost century
ago in the book Of a Russian nava
observer, whose prophecy seems moi
unlikely Of fulfllment at the present
time. In 1911 Capt. Vasill Golawin, OF
the imperial navy, was instructed te
Of the Pacific to ascertain which OF
these were inhabited by the Japanese
and accordingly he set sail from Odes
sa in the Diana, arriving some two
menths later off the coast of Yezo
But one or two copies of Capt. Cola
wins book are eXtant, one of them
being in the library of the Winter Pal
ace at st. Petersburg.
Published in 1916, Capt. Golawin's s
Captivity in Japan" throws an inter
esting light upon the physical and
moral characteristics of the japanese
nation at time when little, If any
thing, definite was known by Euro
traits Of the Mongolian island people.
OF the observations contained in Capt:
Golawin's book the following are of
current interest: II praise the jap
anese for their skill. They will one
day be, probably. rulers Of the ocean
coast Of Asia. And what can Russia
do, being so far away from this bor-
der? Should the japanese introduce
European civilization and European
political systems. the Chinese would
be obliged to do the same, and those
two people could then give Europe AN
other face Happenings such as the
Chwostow raids Q791) would give sug-
gestion to them to build European
warships, and a small fleet could be
raised to begin with. Many European
inventions could be reproduced in
Japan-and without the brains of a
Peter the Great-simply by the COM
bination of circumstances and the nat
ural advantages of Japan.
Certainly, with European models,
Japan could build men Of war very
easily and man them quickly with
brave soldiers. The population is Pc
culiarly adaptable to naval require
ments by reason Of the insular posi-
ton of the country. The people COM
prehend easily, and, given adequate
instruction. would supplant Europeans
as navigators.
1.-The Japanese lack only one quail
ity, namely: terrestrial bravery; but
their deficiency in this respect is only
because Of the peace-loving character
of their government. After a very
long time they lose all capacity to
shed blood. I think an entire people
not timid, however, whose forefathers
were tho terrors Of the whole world"

the victim. . ..'-
"Why. If you keep on grinding
them off," said the dentist, 1.-The teeth
will hollow out and We'll have to put
plugs in them with gold tops to give
them new grinding surfaces"
This wasn't a very pleasant pros
pect. SO later the man sought to as
certain for himself whether he did grit
his teeth unduly. And while he was
still unable to stay awake long enough
to find out he did discover that he had
habit at times of gritting his teeth in
his waking moments. when he sat back
from his work to think Of something,
for instance. And he made up his
mind that he would stop that, anyway,
and he hoped that he might thus stop
grinding his teeth in his sleep, if he
did so grind them. For, fine as they
might be, he didn't want any of those
nice little gold-capped plugs put in his
teeth if he could help it.-New York
