Through the Heart.

Through the Heart.
1t lacked several minutes of the
hour fixed for dinner when Blake
strolled through the hotel safe and
thence into the lobby. The babble Of
voices, the gesticulations and the
nervous energy which pervaded the
atmosphere were not in harmony
with Blake's feelings.
"Jessie was afraid l was going to
say something tonight, and SO she
told me that she loved john" he

cigar. Dear old Johnl Lucky old

Morris pushed his way through the
crowd and was followed by young
Kingsley Not until he was within
few feet of Blake did he recognize
his rival. Though anxious to avoid
meeting, Blake scorned to retreat
or to turn his back.
Morris stopped squarely in front of
him. His lips parted with sneer
and his fingers toyed with small
walking stick, Blake leaned careless
ly against marble column, his eyes
fixed on the man who confronted him.
Had Blake been in a Western min
ing camp his fingers would have
reached for the feel of a gun, but in a
metropolitan hotel he had no seuse
of danger. The incident was trivial,
but disagreeable.
Lend me a thousand, Blake" de-
manded Morris.
A whisper passed around the room
and many turned to watch these two
men, whose names had filled the pub
lie prints of the day.
Certainly" said Blake, strange
smile lighting up his handsome face.
rs thousand enough, Morris ?"
Blake took wallet from his inner
pocket and handed Morris a bill.
And match" ordered Morris, adj
vancing step nearer.

Both accepted the invitation. For
some moments after Mr.. Hawkins had
left no word was spoken between John
Burt and James Blake Each was
busy with his thoughts, but John broke
the silence.
when is Miss Garden expected to
return?" he asked, quietly.
I'm try to find out tonight" said
Blake, looking his partner full in the
eyes. my head has been SO full of
stocks that I've thought Of nothing
else. But I'll know all about it, John,
before | meet you and Hawkins at
dinner Perhaps Jessie-or rather
Miss Carden-is back now. Who
knows? This is your lucky day, old
fellow, and all kinds of things may
happen before midnight. Wouldn't it
be great If l went up to the Bishop
house and found her there? OF course
| wouldn't say a word to spoil the sur
prise you have planned. Well, must
be going. Hope I'll have good news
for you when see you later"
Early in the evening Blake rang the
bell of the Bishop mansion, and was
greeted by General Garden.
at is a pleasure, General Garden,
to tender you this check, which rep
resents your share of the profits.
Don't say a word of thanks to me, for
l do not deserve any credit. Is Miss
Garden at home, and may see her
for q moment?"
"She will be delighted to see you.
l will call her."
The general disappeared, and James
Blake lay back in his chair, with his
eyes fixed on the portrait of Jessie
Garden.
He heard the faint rustic of gar
ment and turned to see Jessie Garden
as she entered the room. A tender
light glowed in her brown eyes, but
there was something wistful in the
smile; a blending of happiness, re-
straint and pity. The eyes dropped
for moment as they met his frank
gaze, but her voice was clear and

me, said Blake, changing the subject.
It's about that portrait. The first
time / ever met Arthur Morris l saw
your portrait in his library room. It
has always puzzled me. Some time
III tell you why

exclaimed Jessie, the color mounting
to her cheeks. Surely you are jest
ing, Mr. BlakeiY
at was probably copy, though he
told me 1t was the original" replied
Blake. He said you had it painted
for him In Berlin, and that you pre-
sented it to him. The first time
came here saw this one and thought
it remarkable coincidence"
There is no mystery about it," said
Jessie, her eyes flashing with anger.
"Mr. Morris saw fit to take advantage
Of papas bankruptcy, which gave him
possession of our Boston residence.
This portrait hung on its walls, and he
doubtless had a copy made from it.
This is consistent with other acts
from which we have suffered at his
hands. II"
The portieres parted and Edith
Hancock entered the room. Her eyes
rested first on Blake and then on
Jessie.
Pardon this intrusion" she said.
81 am looking for a book and did not
know that any one was here. You
are to be Congratulated, Mr. Blake;
doubly congratulated.
There was a tremor in the voice,
but proud flash of the lovely eyes as
Edith bowed slightly, and, brushing
the portleres aside, left the room.
Don't go, Edith" cried Jessie.
There was no response, and Jessie
was too wise to follow her fair cous-
in. For some moments no words were
spoken.
81 am going to tell you the story of
that portrait said Jessie. The Grim
son touched her cheeks and a light,
such as Blake had never seen, was in
her eyes. do you remember what
you said last night? You said that
it seemed as if we had been friends

INDIAN Of Jewish Strain.

Sir Alexander Mackenzie had an
idea that the indians of the far North
west were partly Jewish in origin.
From Lake Athabasca in 1894 he set
out at the head of an expedition in
a birch-bark canoe, 25 feet long, Ak
feet beam and 20 inches hold, with
5000 pounds Of baggage and provi-
sion and crew of nine French Cana
dams" He reached the Pacific coast
and returned. The aborigines he met
were 'for the most part possessed of
strongly religious instincts" said he
in his report. with regard to their
origin all we are prepared to state,
after careful survey of their Ian
guages, manners and customs, is that
they are undoubtedly of a mixed orr
gin; come from the North-northwest
and had commerce in their early his

occurred to me. I'm going to pre-

John Burt? The John Burt | knew

She opened an album and handed
it to him. On one page was the
faded duplicate of the photograph
from which had been painted the por-
trait he had seen so often in John
Burt's study room in San Francisco
Opposite 1t was photograph of John

FROM SAME BOX
Where the Foods Come From.


Look here, waiter, honest now,
don't you dip every one of these faxed
breakfast foods out of the same box?"
well, yes, boss, we duz, all cept
Grape-Nuts, cause that don't look like
the others and people know 'zackly
what Grape-Nuts looks like. But
there's bout a dozen different ones
named on the bill of fare and they are
all thin rolled flakes so It don't make
any difference which one a man calls
for, we just take out the order from
one box"
This talk led to an investigation.
Dozens of factories sprung up about
three years ago, making various kinds
of breakfast foods, seeking to take the
business of the original prepared
breakfast ood-Grape-Nuts. These
concerns after a precarious existence,
nearly all failed, leaving thousands of
boxes Of their foods in mills and ware
houses. These were in several in
stances bought up for song by spec
ulators and sold out to- grocers and
hotels for little or nothing. The proc
ess Of working OFF this old stock has
been slow. One will see the names
on menus of faxed foods that went
out of business a year and half or
two years ago. In a few cases where
the abandoned factories have been
bought up, there is an effort to resus-
citate the defunct, and by copying the
style of advertising of Grape-Nuts,
seek to influence people to purchase.
But the public has been educated to
the fact that all these thin faxed
foods are simply soaked wheat or oats
rolled thin and dried out and packed.
They are not prepared like Grape
Nuts, in which the thorough baking
and other operations which turn the
starch part of the wheat and barley
into sugar occupy many hours and re-
suit in food so digestible that small
infants thrive on it, whiletit also con-
tains the selected elements of Phos-
plate of Potash and Albumen that
unite In the body to produce the soft
gray substance in brain and nerve
centers. There's a reason for Grape
Nuts, and there have been many imi-
tations, few OF the article itself, but
many more Of the kind and character
OF the Advertising. Imitators are al
ways counterfeiters and their printed
and written statements cannot be ex-
pected to be different than their
goods

It was such an enticing slide that
no boy could resist it, but this the
stout old gentleman who was stepping
along in q gingerly manner failed to

until he collided with the boy who
knew the slide for the best to be had,
and they both went to the ground;
the boy, who was small and thin, be-
low, and the old gentleman, who was
stout, on top.
The old gentleman found the boy
