Picture in DISGUISE.

Many and strange have been the vi
cissitudes of some of the worlds
greatest pictures, and fine painting
which now graces Lord Leigh's resi-
dence in Warwickshire, Eng, has an
interesting history. This remarkable
picture. which for some years consist
ed of painting Of flowers, was pro-
nounced by an art dealer to be merely
mask for some other picture, and on
his receiving permission he gradually
cleaned off the flowers, discovering
underneath very fine portrait of
Charles I, by Vandyke. 1t is supposed
that the portrait was thus disguised in
order to save it from destruction by
the Roundheads at the time of the
Commonwealth.

Entielng Premiums Caused "Ep.
demic" OF Marriages.
In certain quarters of the world en-
ticing premiums are put upon early
marriages. Some years ago the mayor
of a southern town in France offered
reward of $40 to every couple under
the age of "a who sought the matri.
monial altar during his term of Office
The mayor expended many thousands
of francs in the manner described
Many years ago. when the number Of
marriages in a certain Alsatian town
was far below the average, the NUM-
cipal authorities publicly announced
that all persons who married within
a certain period should be exempt
from local taxes for the space of FIVE
years. An epidemic Of marriages set
in at once. A well-known Austrian
nobleman was anxious to encourage
matrimony among the peasants on his
estate. He undertook to provide each
bride with four pairs of gloves yearly.
The offer acted like charm.

Kidney Pills. Mrs. w. H. Ambrose
tells how her pains vanished never
to return when she. used the Great
American Kidney Remedy.
Dover, KY, Feb. 13th.-(SpeciaD-
So long has Backache been the terror
Of the women of America that the
numerous reports of the complete and
permanent cures of this ailment now
being made by Dodd's Kidney Pills
are causing wide satisfaction and not
the least remarkable of these cures
is that of Mrs. w. H. Ambrose of this
place. Mrs. Ambrose says:
II had such pains in my back at
times I could hardly move and other
symptoms showed that my kidneys
were affected. One box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills drove away all the pains
and have never been troubled since. !"
Backache is the kidneys first notice
that they are out Of order and need
help. If they get that help in the
form Of Dodd's Kidney Pills all will be
well. If they are neglected the dis
ease may develop into Diabetes,
Bright's Disease or Rheumatism.

mare In Its Trail.
A bachelor whose skill at getting
up dainty supper dishes assures him
plenty of company in the evenings Is
responsible for a substitute for the
welsh rabbit that is free from night
mare. He covers lightly toasted bread
with finely grated cheese, and instead
of slipping it in the oven places 1t be-
meath the flame of the gas broiler
until the cheese has been toasted a
light brown.
Ifa good cream cheese is used there
is not the slightest suggestion of sog.
siness or greasiness, and even those
to whom a rabbit means night OF
troubled dreams may indulge in this
with no fear Of evil consequences.
The trick lies in the granting of the
cheese., Broken into bits 1t would
melt into pasty mass. Finely divid
cd. each particle should be individual
ly toasted before 1t has a chance to
melt down, and in that state 1t is
readily assimilated.

What do you want of met" he
asked.
We want full and succinct state.
ment from you of Graviscourt's crimes
and yours, telling how the infant,
Alice Graviscourt, disappeared, and
how the smallpox fraud was perpe-
trated, hiding nothing, but revealing
everything. That is what we want
of you"
And then what will you do with
me?" asked Sigmotta.
Hold you until the truth of your
statement is proven, and then release
you."
There was pause. The major
walked back and forth uneasily. Thor
lane sat as calm as Byrnes himself. I
was feverishly eager.
Very well, said Sigmotta, finally.
Il am ready. Shall write"
mo. The stenographer will take
down your words, and then put it in
proper form for your signature"
And then began the unraveling Of
the last knot in the exciting mystery
of the Graviscourt millions.
Graviscourt met us, as he had al
ways met us, with the placid smile
and the suave dignity of the man OF
wealth, leisure and culture. There
was, perhaps, degree of pallor in his
face that was unusual, but this might
easily be attributed to the return of a
rival whom he had believed dead and
out Of his way.
He greeted me cordially, however,
and congratulated me upon the fact
that the rumor of my demise was I'M
founded.
He led us into his coy library-the
very room in which Dilkins had dis
covered the photograph of Alice Ora
vi nd n1o hoi vc for a nd
urged us to sit down.
There were four of us: the major,
Thorlane, myself and special officer
in citizens dress, detailed by Byrnes
to accompany us and to take Gravts-
court into custody. l had insisted
upon my plan OF action being followed,
which was to proceed to Graviscourt's
rooms, unmask his villanies there, and
read to him the statements of Dambo
and of the two Sigmottas. When this
had been done, it was to be the Off
GERS duty to arrest Graviscourt, and
my connection with the case ceased.
1t must have been clear to Gravis-
court that something serious was COM
ing, for the major was as glum and
grim as an old Warrior could be, and
the stern face of Thorlane must have
seemed to GraviscC lrt an Ill omen.
But no sign of trepidation showed
in his manner, and he politely offered
us cigars and wine, which we all de-
clined, while he waited for us to an
nounce the object of our visit.
The moment was painful one, and
although l had worked for this mans
downfall, now that had the weapons
wherewith to destroy him in my hand,
sincerely pitied him. But there was
no receding now, and plunged at
once into the subject.

Sentenced by His Uncle.

In Meridian, Miss, Daniel Moore,
convicted Of manslaughter several
months ago, was sentenced to twenty
five years in the penitentiary by Judge
Cochran, who is an uncle of Moore.
In delivering the sentence the aged
Judge was overcome by emotion, and
said that had he listened to the die
tates of sympathy or considered the
ties of relationship he would let the
young man go free, but since the jury
had found the man guilty he felt that
there was nothing to do but sentence
him, although it almost broke his
heart to do so.
