Ooinu Great Work.

Florisant. Mo, Dec. (SpeciaD
That Dodd's Kidney Pills are doing
q great work In curing the more ter
rible forms OF Kidney Disease. such as
Bright's Disease. Dropsy and Diabetes,
everybody knows. But it must also
be noted that they are doing a still
greater work in wiping out thousands
OF cases of the earlier stages of Kid
ney Disease. Take for instance. Mrs.
Peter Bartoau of this place. She
says
4 have been subject to pains in my
back and knees for about three years.
but since | have been taking Dodd's
Kidney Pills | have been entirely
cured"
Others here tell similar stories. In
fact, In this part of Missouri there are
scores OF people who have cured the
early symptoms of Kidney Disease
with Dodd's Kidney Pills. The use of
the Great American Kidney Remedy
thus saved not only the lives of Kid
ney Disease victims. but thousands OF
other Americans from years Of suffer

SEA LEVEL CANAL
Engineer Says It VIII Eventually Be
Necessary at Panama.

Philip Bunau-Varilla. who. before
being minister of Panama 10 Washing
ton. was the principal engineer of the
Panama canal. recently gave an au-
thoriZed Interview at Paris relative to
the building Of the canal al sea level.
According to NJ. Runa,i-Varilla the
construction OF the canal at sea level
is not only possible. but IL must ulti-
mately be SO constructed. as are other
connections between oceans. like the
straits of Bosphorus between the
Black sea and the Egean sea. Asked
II the Panama canal ought to be con-
structed at once at sea level, NJ. Blu
nau-Varilla replied;
Not at all. To he at perfect sea
level the canal must be free from any
artificial work. and there is perhaps
no engineer who would be willing to
accept the responsibility of building
it Immediately without demands upon
the upper Chagres TO regulate tho
floods and without tide locks at
Panama to counteract in the canal the
currents due to the food tide in the
Pacific, The construction of such a
canal would give experimental data
about the necessary cross section of
the canal, about the slopes OF the deep
cut dl 1AiitpId ana dDOuI tnt stul-
ments of Chagres. all of which are
essential for building sea level pass
age successfully.
AS to changing from the lock to the
sea level form, | gave in 1887 a solu-
tion which | communicated recently to
Admiral Walker. II Is an easy. prac.
tical and cheap method of gradually
transferring the local canal into a sea
level canal all the work done for the
lock canal except. naturally. dams and
locks. This solution entirely pro-
tects the future,
I'm one word, ! think II would be n
great error to begin with the sea level
plan at once. II would cost 500. .000,-
600 more and require twice as much
time. The lock plan will be amply
sufficient until the traffic reaches 40.-
900 900 tons-that is to say. seven
times the probable traffic in the first
years operation-and will lead by en-
perimental and secure ways to an ideal
solution Of sea level passage"

DOGS That Draw Carts.

A traveller who has cycled hundreds
of miles In Holland has good word
Tor everything Dutch except the use of
dogs In carts. He quotes some rather
affecting instances of very old or sick
dogs used in a certain district and con.
cludes that the employment OF dogs as
draft animals Is a survival of barbar-
ism. The cart" dog is a high-spirlted
eager creature. which. as rule. takes
a great deal OF interest in its work
and needs neither beating nor scold-
ing.
AT The Hague the dogs which bring
the vegetables into market lie under
their carts while the cargo is being
sold. In the afternoon when the time
for going home approaches. they bark
excitedly. and. with their owners sit
ting in the carts. often race other dogs
home. The carts are frequently very
smart and SO is the harness. Nearly
all the milk and similar commodities
in Liege are distributed silently,
quickly and early in the morning by
dog carts.

confidence. Looking up into the cold,
clean-eut face before her, she asked,
You will not leave here to-day. Mon
sieur?.
Perhaps; I cannot decide until
later"
Before you go. monsieur. | would
take 1t as great favor should you
let me ask of you some advice as TO
matter concerning him you seem to
love. And she glanced at Jean. who
was standing in the doorway. with his
back to them.
The officer. IL he felt any surprise,
showed none, for he answered her
with kindly assurance. He then Joined
jean. and the two went below. where
breakfast awaited them.
The two dead soldiers were buried
early in the afternoon: but the stars
were coming out when the door of
the great vault was closed. and the
late baron left to sleep with his an
cestors.
Etienne. silent and repelling. stood
by, vouchsafing little notice of anyone
about him. Jean had taken care to
keep away from his halfbrother;
and the latter replied with scant cour-
tesy to the lieutenant's salutation.
when they met for the first time. as
the baron's body was borne from the
house.
Margot was not of those who had
stood about the tomb. Etienne's tenn
porary absence from the house being
assured. she had improved the oppor-
tunity to open the secret panel and re-
move the metal box and bags of coin,
which she hid away amongst her own
belongings. She proposed. with Jean
and Pierre. to seek a new home in
Toulon, where a large number of Roy
alists. together with others who had
suffered persecution from the Revolu-
tionists. had found refuge.
Presently she saw Etienne enter
the drawing room, where Jean had
remained, having refused to leave the

CHAPTER III.

The gray was flushing with rose
tints from the coming sun when a
loud knocking upon the entrance door
aroused the soldier on guard in the
hall.
Open the door," voice shouted
peremptoriiy. "Tatro, Pierre, A
thousand devils, You fools inside
there. open the door. | say"
The disturbance brought Greioire
from his improvised couch at the rear
of the hail. and climbing the ladder.
he pushed his head through the bro
ken window for a sight of who might
be outside.
Who are you2" demanded the
young man standing before the door,
his voice indicating surprise as he
looked at the face of the soldier above
him
That is what | should like to have
you tell me of yourself. m'sieur." an
swered Greloire. in his usual dry man
ner. his no, over friendly eyes noting
the details of the attire worn by the
aristocratically clad visitor
"Dame," now exclaimed the latter.
evidently more angry than before.
What business can it be of yours ?
Who are you. that dare cavil over
opening to me the door OF my fathers
house7"
He is but one; and there are two
of us to handle such a coeksparrow
as could easily overcome alone. with
one hand said Greloire scornfully.
as the bars fell, and Etienne entered.

hair and raiment disheveled from an
all-night's concealment in one of the
outbuiidings of the chateau.

time in finding a hiding place in a
grove. not far from the house.
At the tidings OF his fathers death.
new expression came to Etienne's
face. softening its coldness; but this
quickly changed when. in reply to his
query as to who was in command of
the escort, Greloire answered, Lieu
tenant Bonaparte."
An oath that made both soldiers
stare burst from the young mans lips.

added, with a return of all his haughti-
ness: land do both of you see to IL
that / am not disturbed by your Off.
cer."
With this he stalked through the
hall, and up the stairway. shuddering
as be passed the blood-stains upon the
floor.
Etienne's steps on the upper stairs
and along the oaken- foored hall
brought Tatro to the door of the room
where lay the two wounded soldiers.
one Of whom was evidently dying,
while the other was sleeping quietly.
"Ah. Monsieur Etienne, is it you.
sir" Then. correcting himself with
"Pardon-Monsieur le Baron. he
burst forth in a quavering voice, 1t
is surely q sad return for YOU"
Somewhat softened by the old mans
words, and now realizing more fully
the horrors of the night before, Eth
enne replied In an unusually kind
fashion. But when he ended by or
dering that a repast be brought to
his rooms, Tatro's face showed sur
prise he dared not voice; for he won
dered that his new master could think
OF sustenance for himself. so soon ar
ter coming upon the scene OF his re-
cent loss.
Margot had slept little during the
night, but lay thinking CT what
changes were likely to come. now that
the baron was dead. An intuition
warned her to secure the money and
valuables which the baron had In
trusted to her care: to take them from
their present hiding place. and have
them at hand. in case some additional
disaster should come. And. too. bear
ing in mind her masters command
that she remove Jean from Etienne's
rule in case Of that Detailing which
now had come to pass. her perplexed
brain had at length evolved plan
which seemed both wise and, feasible.

lieutenant. who was now seated at a
table, examining some papers found
upon the dead Fauchel: and consider
ing this an opportune time TO make
known her plans. she had turned
toward the door. when Etienne's
voice. full OF its old-Ume arrogance,
came to her.
Jean. leave the room instantly, and
go to your bed"
Margot paused in the doorway and
saw jeans head raised with a bel
ligerent poise. Il will not go for you.
Etienne, when you order me in such
a rude fashion," he said, his voice
shaking with rage.
Uttering a vile oath, Etienne strobe
forward. and seizing him by the col
lar. dragged the boy from the chair
and began striking him.
Monsieur Etienne. do not you do
that" cried Margot. rushing toward
him. "Ah. mon Dieu, How can you
have the heart, and at such a time
as this?"
Jean was struggling in wild fury,
using feet and hands to defend him
self, which he did in a way that
brought to the lieutenant's mind the
scene Of two years before. in the Tuil-
cries garden.
Hold. Monsieur lie Baron" ne said,
distinctly and calmly Il have the
right to tell you that you cannot thus
assert your authority in my presence" :"
Etienne. as once before. released
Jean. and turned to face the speaker,
to whom the boy now rushed. cling
ing to him with a storm of passionate
sobs. coming partly from anger, and
partly from a bruised heart
Margot had drawn nearer to his
side; and. as Jeans sobs ceased, the
three confronted Etienne, who now
burst into a loud. derisive laugh.
What can bastard, and the
friends and champions OF a bastard,
expect better?" he demanded. now
speaking deliberately, his pale face
distorted by malice.
Margot started Indignantly, an
angry fame springing tito her eyes;
and the lieutenant said in a low tone,
whose very calmness was a menace.
1T is scarcely the act Of a gentleman
to insult the defenseless and the
dead"
Insult" cried Etienne, now letting
loose all the vials Of his hatred and
malignity. "Peste! How can he be
other than call him, when his mother
was no wife?'

He obeyed His Orders.

John was the new English butler In
the employ of Philadelphia family
When John first came he was told by
the mistress of the house that she was
always at home to her sister, who
was a frequent visitor to the house.
The sister in question was pointed
out to John on her next visit, and
the mistress was satisfied in her mind
that John would obey orders.
Every time the sister called John
would admit the welcome guest with
reverent respect. II was her custom
to ask him before entering II his mis-.
tress was in, and it always happened
that she was, SO John would nod and
profoundly bow her In.
But one day 1t happened that his
mistress was out when the sister
called. When John went to the door
she. as usual. asked If her sister was
in. to which John nodded in the
Affirmative and bowed her in. Johns
business at that moment took him out
in the yard, and he left her in the
parior.
Divesting herself OF her wraps, the
visitor began to look for her sister,
but seeing no signs OF her downstairs
concluded that she was ON one OF the
upper floors. and went upstairs. OF
course. she failed to find her, and
thinking that the butler might be
mistaken, went downstairs to inquire
of him again. She found him out in
the yard, and calling to him. asked If
he thought his mistress had gone out
as she could not find. her in the
house.
John. after meditating a moment
replied:
Yes. mum, she his h'out"
