CHAPTER xI.
THE ROAD To PAEIs.


 remember hearing Marshal Bas- sompierre, who, of all men within my knowledge, had the widest experience, say that not dangers, but discomforts, prove a man, and show what he Is; and that the worst sores in life are caused by crumpled rose-leaves and not by thorns.
 am inclined to agree with this. For remember that when came from my room on the morning after the ar rest, and found hall and parior and passage empty, and all the common rooms of the house deserted, and no meal laid, and when I diyined anew from this discovery the feeling of the house towards me-however natural to be expected-I felt as sharp a pang as when, the night before. I had had to face discovery and open rage and scorn. stood in the silent. empty par Tor, and looked round me with a sense of desolation;, of something lost and gone, which could not replace. The morning was gray and cloudy. the air sharp; a shower was falling. The rose bushes at the window swayed in the wind. and where could remember the hot sunshine lying on the floor and table, the rain beat in and stained the boards. The main door Tapped : and creaked to and fro. I thought of other days and other meals had taken there. and of the scent of How CTS. and fed to the hall in despair. Bnt here, too. was no sign of life or company. no comfort. no attendance. The ashes of the logs, by whose blaze mademoiselle had told me the secret, lay on the hearth white and cold: and now and then drop of moisture. slid. ing down the great chimney. pattere,l among them.

The reason the electric fan cold'' is
so often accompanied by sore throat
is, according to doctor whose down
town location brings him many such
cases, that the draught made by the
fan carries so much dust with it. "The
fact is" says this authority, that the
air stirred by the fan is not fresh air
unless the fan is backed up against an
open window When operating in an
inside room or in a similar place,
where it is most appreciated, the fan
uses the same air over and over, and
this air gathers up and keeps in mo-
ton all the available dust. People
who don't catch cold are sometimes
affected by this dust, and show symp-
toms either of sore throat or of nose
troubles akin to catarrh. The right
way to use fan is SO to arrange it
with relation to an open window that
all the air with which it is supplied
comes from outside. Philadelphia

continue to suffer rather than submit
to examinations which so many physi-
clans propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is the rea-
son why so many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are corre-
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can confide every
detail Of their illness, and from
her great knowledge, obtained from
years of experience in treating female
ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise women
more wisely than the local physician.
Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs.
7. G. WillAdsen, of Manning, Ia. She
writes
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

life, and cannot express my gratitude in

BOY WORTH $4,000, 600.

A fourteen-year-old boy struggling to
maintain his hold to the claim of the
richest boy in the world" and three
women fighting equally hard for por-
ton of the wealth that gave him the
title, is the situation disclosed in dis
patches from Los Angeles, CAL, where
Mrs. Henry Il. Shields, sister; Mrs.
Arthur Little and Mrs. Russell Price,
nieces Of the late William Ziegler, be-
gan a suit to contest the will of the
mult-millionaire, who bequeathed the
bulk of his immense fortune to his
adopted son and namesake.
They declare that they, closest of kin
with the exception of Mrs. Ziegler, the
widow, were completely cut Off by the
baking powder magnate and patron of
Arctic expeditions, and ask that the
law give them share Of the 100000
600, which represents the value of the
Ziegler estate that young Willie Ziegler
inherited.
Coming so soon after the death of
Mr.. Ziegler this suit renews the wide
interest in the lad who, though only
fourteen years of age, is considered the
wealthiest boy in the world, and one
with a great future before him.
For it was an unwritten legacy left
to him by his foster father that he
must find the North Pole should the
Fiala expedition sent out months be-
fore Mr.. Ziegler's death fail in Its at
tempt.
Mr.. ziegler died late last May after
long illness. Before his death it was
known that he would make little Will
lam, his adopted son, his principal heir.
The story of young Ziegler's life,
what it has been and what it holds for
the future, is an extremely interesting
one. The son of his foster fathers
brother, he was taken into the million
aires household at very early age.
Childless themselves, Mr.. and Mrs
Ziegler determined to give him all the
love and attention of parents and to
this end they decided to legally adopt
him.

In the American Naturalist, J. l..
Hancock gives an interesting descrip-
fion of some of the habits of the
striped meadow cricket. The most
striking part of the account deals with
the allurements which the male cricket
possess. When he wishes to attract
the female, the male cricket raises his
fore wings vertically above his head,
and by rubbing them over each other
produces a high-pitched singing, OF
perhaps better, shrilling. When the
females attention has been attracted,
she goes to the male and proceeds to
take advantage of the refreshments
offered. Upon the mates back, stu
ated well forward on the thorax, is
little depression or well, in which a
small quantity of semi-fiuid material
is secreted. Climbing up on the males
back, the female eats this apparently
delicious morsel with great eagerness;
it is evidently something especially
choice which is formed there for her
especial benefit. This proceeding sug-
gests that treating as a means of win
ming a lady's love is not confined to
the allurements of ice cream and soda

Niagara Falls, August THE vol
ume Of water being diverted from the
historic Niagara Falls is reaching such
proportions that the people of the State
are trying to pass laws which will pre-
vent the possibility of a practical wip-
ing out of this sublime natural spec
tacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
five hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes, is now be-
ing taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
curing more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user of the cleo
tricity produced by the waters Of the
mighty river is the concern which by
the FIVE or six ttlii I'd degree heat Of
the electric furnace brings lime and
coke into unwilling union, thereby pro-
ducing what is known as Calcium Car
bide.
Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as so
much broken rock, but in contact with
water it springs into activity and be-
gets aDundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach to
sunlight known.
These facts, though Of comparatively
recent discovery, were soon seized by
men with an eye to the commercial
Z possibilities and to-day calcium carbide
is being shipped everywhere and used
for dispelIing darkness in buildings of
all descriptions, from the ordinary barn
of the farmer to the country villa of
the wealthy, as well as for lighting
the streets Of large number Of towns.
Acetylene can be easily and cheaply
installed, and the manufacture and sale
y of acetylene generators has become
business of recognized standing, has
assumed large proportions and is stead
lily growing.
