expended on this part of the river.
"The commerce on the Cumber-
land river above Nashville for the
calendar year 1904, as nearly as
could be ascertained, aggregated
about 242.112 tons, having an estl-
mated value of about s5.SG2, 3G5 ;

mage consisted mainly of timber pro-
ducts, farm products, sand and grav-
Ell and general merchandise.
THE continued low water during
1904 curtalled the boating season so
much that some six or seven million
feet of lumber was left on the bank
of the river above Nashville The
boating season from January, 1904,
to January, 1905, has been the most
trying ono on record for steamboat
interests on account of the low

The Vital Question.

The teacher Of the class in history
was describing to the children the
opening of some of the ancient tombs
In Egypt, and enumerating several CT
the interesting antiquities therein dis
covered.
ITO show you how wonderfully
many of those things have been pre-
served" she said, Il may mention that
In one of the oldest of those tombs a
jar Of honey was found. 1t could not
have been less than four or five
thousand years old, and yet in that
Jar Of honey was a flea, in perfect
preservation"
"Was 1t alive?" asked one Of The
little girls, with a breathless interest
not entirely unmixed with alarm.

way; and Jack felt somewhat piqued that
Mr.. Mallett should make SO light of the
whole business.
But he did not let his n ance ap
pear upon the surface. He told of the
success of the paintings for Lord Sum
mers, of his hopes for the future, of the
gay life at Mallingford, and impressed
his hearers with the fact that he was
brimming over with good fortune and
happiness.
Ethel did not say much; but she APP
peared to be quietly, kindly interested
and, though she was paler than she used
to be, she did not give one the idea of
a love-lorn damsel. She sat listening
TO the conversation, and wondering If
her father would touch on the subject
of their identity during Jacks visit; but
Mr.. Mallett did not wisk to be made the
topic of gossip among Miss Malling's
guests, and therefore kept his own coun-
sci.
When Jack was about to leave, Mr..
Mallett decided to walk part of the way
with him, and accordingly went down
stairs first. Jack turned, with the door
handle in his hand, to thank Ethel for
what ohC a uOhS Stb hdiuis " mann
her, either.
IL can't go without thanking you for
being so candid with me, Ethel" he
said. 'Of course | was very surprised
when / received your letter breaking of
the engagement; but equally of course
there was nothing for' me to do but ac-
quiesce in your wish"
Ethel felt how u%ngenerous this remark
was, seeing that his neglect had led to
what had happened; but she would not
be driven into reproachIng him, and so
give him cause to justify himself. Her
feelings were too real to bear dissec-
ton, and she avoided the discussion.
THAT is all passed." she said, grave
ly; better let 1t rest"
Though she did not say one word in
self-defense, there was a world of re-
proach in the subdued tones of her ad-
vice: though her speech was so indif-
ferent, her whole manner asserted her
right TO be cons.dered more than blame
less throughout the affair.
Jack felt miserably small under her
calm gaze, and his respect for her was
vastly increased by this little passage at
arms: and, as he was carried by the af-
ternoon express back to Mallingford
Park, he could not shake from his mind
the fable of the dog and the shadow.

Home Medicine Chest in Danger

The "home medicine chest is in
danger. If certain people have their
way, no one will be allowed to take a
dose of any kind Of medicine In this
country except on n doctors written
prescription. The remedies that have
been brewed at home for generations
will be put under the ban of the law,
and the use Of so-called patent" medi-
cines that are prepared in large quanti-
ties from the best prescriptions Of
leading physicians will likewise have
to 90. What honest reason any per-
son can have for attacking all proprie-
tary medicines few will understand.
Most of the standard remedies have
been in existence, and in common use
for many years, and to deprive the
American people of them would be to
take away the remedies that every
family has almost constant use for,
and the use Of which they thoroughly
understand.

Jack promised to join them in the
boudoir il a quarter of an hour. He did
not like to think of Pauline's look. He
was a poor struggling artist, who had
hitherto lived by the exercise of his I'M

She began methodically 10 remoy ev-

in a heap on the table, after reading or
looking at them. Then she turned to the
other side, going through it in the same
way, and reached the bottom without
discovering anything more than is usually
TO be found in a lady's desk. With a dis
appointed air, she began to replace the
articles, when Miss Malling's address
book fell from her shaking hand on to
the floor.
She stopped to pick it up as it lay
open; and, in doing so, she saw the edge
of a photograph peeping from the pocket

the candles were still burning, to read
the name OF the photographer at the
back of the card. The printing was in a
language she did not understand; but she
guessed it must be Spanish. She turned
TO the picture again, and in the strong
light she could almost make out part
of the inscription on the plain headstone.
The first name, she was sure, began with
the letter "P." In order to assist her,
she procured Miss Malling's magnifying
glass, and, with the aid of that, she
spelled out the name, or as much of it
as she could see.
