MORE ROOM NEEDED.

BY referring to Supt. Rockwell month
~ report, i'll the school column, it will
be seen that our educational institutions
are crowded far beyond their capacity
and where teachers should be instructing
classes of thirty-fve they are now obliged
to labor with classes as high as siXty-fve.
This condition of affairs is unjust to
teachers and pupils alike and while the
bright student has no reason to complain
as he would succeed at all times, yet I'M
fortunately, the bright student is not in
the majority and iif students must de.
pend entirely upon their own resources,
the teachers as a matter of economy,
might be dispensed with. The rapid
growth Of our village at'present indicates
that another school building must be
erected at an early day to accommodate
the rapidly. Increasing population.

CHAPTER XII.
A RACE FOR LIBERTY.

u
GN CONTAINS caravan came on
i II slowly, for the men were
,.siSl-1z'l walking. They had sent ii
60 portion of the force round
another way to get the horses that had
been left on the cliff.
Domitan and his captains rode ahead
mounted on horses they had taken
from the Bokharans. Following came
the little army. struggling along in
anything but military style, laughing
singing and celebrating their victory
IL was Domitan's watchful eye that
discovered two bowed and bent priests
resting by the wayside their great
hoods concealing their faces except
for the eyes.
1T is we'll" he said to one Of his
captains, that on the first day of my
chieftainship l meet with two holy
men upon the way. | will give them
aims and have their blessings upon
me-"
"Most holy fathers. holy ones Of the
sun, bless me-" he said, for | am but
today the chief Of the Zannucks"
81 bless you" said Harvey. with
weak and trembling voice as he peck
eted the gold. I'VE are weary, and
the temple is far. Hast thou no seat
for us on camel? l see there are two
with apparently but little load"
1T is well that thy presence augurs
good said DOmitan in a sort of ex-
ultation. "Those camels bear the one
who will be my bride and the one who
will be the bride of my brother Sure
ly it will be well for us if the holy
men ride with them. Come"
He went back to the camels and
commanded them to kneel.
Holy companions wilt thou have,
my sweet ones" he said. "These holy
men have blessed me, and l have
made them presents. l shall win great
victories"
Harvey got into the howdah by the
side Of Alma, and Orskoff, with APP
parent feebleness, climbed in with
Koura. The camels, rose to their feet
again, and Domltan proudly led on. 1t
was not every day that a chieftain
had two lamas in his caravan.
Orskoff was fidgety He knew that
when they>Eeached the monastery they
would be expected to leave, but he had
faith that Harvey would surmount the
difficulty. He saw Harvey scanning
the sky and mumbling and making
peculiar signs. Harvey called to Domi-
tan, and the chief rode back.

THE GUARDIAN OF OUR BODY.

The foremost biologist of our day,
M. Metschnikoff, has shown the world
of science that there are leucocytes in our
blood that act as scavengers or policemen.
These policemen which are called bhagO-
cVfeS look out for the noxious or poisonous
elements in our blood Various offending
elements are picked out of the blood and
tissues by these policemen and destroyed.
Therefore our lives are protected by
these blood-cell- policemen, the bhagOcyfeS,
and we enjoy immunity from disease so
long as our blood contains plenty of phago-
cytes and red blood corpuscles
VA new broom sweeps clean "-and in
order to put our own house in order we
must get rid of all the poisons in the blood
with new broom such as an Alternative
extract made from roots and herbs-with-
out the use of alcohol, as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, a specific for
making rich redablood-for eradicating the
poisons from the blood, In some way the
policemen in the blood are increased in
number and strength-so that we are put
in the best possible shape to resist disease
to cure neuralgia, colds, catarrh, and in
cipient consumption.
1The more study and time is given to the
subject the more we find that the blood is
the center of life says DR.. r. " Pierce
the noted specialist of Buffalo, rthe health
and comfort of the average person depends
entirely on this blood supply-for the heart
mast haveSpure blood or it will not pump
and keep the body supplied regularly like
the beautiful automatic engine it is The
nerves must be fed on pure blood-or we
suffer the pain of neuralgia which is the
cry of the starved nerves Cor food. Head
aches, cold / the head, catarrh-and many
other things are due to stagnatiou of the
blood"

said the lama. Take them. Remem-
Der, thou shalt shed no blood"
1--WE promise, and we thank thee"
With the robes and hoods they went
out OF the place. Harvey started at
a quick pace back toward the camp.
At a convenient place he stopped and
said:
"As soon as l heard of those monks
It seemed to me that this was the So
luton of the problem. We can't fight
200 men. My idea is to disguise our
selves and appear as old and feeble
as possible. travelling in the same d.
rection as Domitan's forces. We will
ask a lift as far as the Batoola mon
astery, and if the Bannucks are believ-
ere, Rs the Bokharan said. they will
grant what we ask. The camels bear
ing the girls have the lightest burdens,
and il ought not to be difficult to get
seats on them. Then-well, let the rest
take care of itself. We can tell what
60 do when we get there"
Il swear by the holy crown of the
great white car" OrskOff exclaimed,
that you are the most daring and the
most resourceful devil l ever knew!
Did anything ever overcome you? The
world is your plaything. You do what
you will with all people. If l had
asked that old priest for these things,
he would have expelled me from the

Talk! You could convince a man
that he was a horse. 1t takes no great
amount of talk sometimes to convince
him he is an ass. This is the most sur
prising result Of your skill have yet
witnessed. Well, the thing is fascinat-
ing. We will try it,"
The Russian wondered still more at
the resources of the American during
the process of Disgusting themselves.
The people of the region were dark.
With the bruised husks of nuts of a
walnut tree he made an olive cOlored
stain. which he daubed over their faces.
With pair of folding scissors he cut
off the Russians mustache, bringing
sadness to his heart. They made them
selves grimy with the soil Of the road
and practiced the walk of feeble old
men. SO well did Harvey execute this
act that Orskoff said they would be-
come play actors next

Overtaken by Domitans army" said
Harvey, land ask to be assisted on
our way. Let me do the talking. And,
what you see me do, do also. l must
plan as l 90 along, for after we join
the Zannu ks there will be no time"
Slowly they tramped along the road,
and at last, judging themselves TO be
about half way between the camp and
the monastery, they waited.
Here they come" said Harvey. "Be
ready and keep cool. 1t will be the
effort of our lives"
