her fellows, but with a better accent

itself still deeper in the pillows, and
a little hand waved her off impa-

CHAPTER KIN.

The twelve months elapsing since
the September afternoon that Witness
ed Rose de Cazeneau's disillusion in
regard to her trusted Captain jean
had been uneventful ones for her,
until very recently. when she had
met Lazalie under Gen. La Roche's
hospitable roof, and, for the first
time in her life. found girl friend.
The dark beauty and Indifferent
manner OF the Spanish girl possessed
q strange and powerful attraction for
the gente-natured Rose; and Lazalie.
feeling the others admiration and
liking, had reciprocated In a way that
brought to the surface her better
and more womanly self.
The general had for guest at this
time the son OF an old friend. Col
Thomas Stewart of Kentucky, who
sending young Harold to New Or
leans upon a matter OF business, had
asked for him La Roches hospitality.
La Roche and the two girls were
breakfasting when LATTE arrived.
Brigida, who was experimenting GER
tain domestic matters in front room
of the house, was the first to see his
approach.
Gen. La Roche, with the impetuos-
ity Of much younger man. sprang
from his chair and crossed the room
to grasp Laftte's hand, welcoming
him in words which were but careless
ly heard; for the newcomer glanced
from Lazalie, who had followed her
hosts movements, to the childish fig
ure still seated at the table-to the
lovely face. flushing and paling by
turns. while the violet eyes, with
startled and yet not altogether dis
pleased light showing in them, were
raised to meet his own.
Not offering to touch her hand. he
said, with bow, Il hope. mademoi-
Eelle, that l find you quite we'll"
She answered In low voice, her
manner. with the color still going and
coming in her cheeks. suggesting
nothing more than usual shyness.

Turning from her. and while Albert,
the butler, showing as much pleas
ure as he thought it dignified to mani
fe1t, was, by his masters order, pre-
pairing another place at the table,
LATTE told Gen. La Roche o. the sail
ors who were waiting outside with
their burdens; and the general. pre-
coded by LATTE, started to leave the
room as a CHEEKY whistling. accom-
panied by the sound of footsteps upon
the oalken stairs, announced that Har-
old Stewart was coming down to
breakfast.
LATTE was already in the hall, and
La Roche, pausing moment, turned
back to say, in carefully lowered
tone, "Senorita Lazalie-Mademoi-
selle Rose, l must warn both OF you
to have care how you mention the
name of LATTE in the hearing of
young Stewart. Remember" he add
ed. with unmis.akable emphasis, he
must be Captain JEAN and no one
else, 80 long as he is here with u.s."
Iazalie nodded. with smile Of APP
probation. but Mademoiselle de Gaze
neau looked with troubled eyes at the
general as he hurried out.
She was greatly puzzled, as indeed
she had been more than once during
the past year, to understand how 1t
was that people for whom she could
have nothing but respect should seem
to find no objection to fraternizing
with the dreadful LATTE, and she was
beginning to wonder how much of un-
truth there might be in the terrible
stories she had heard concerning him.
1t was all a perplexing puzzle. and
the girl sighed as she stirred her
chocolate.
Lazalie, hearing the sigh, laughed
az her white teeth bit into her toast.
why do you sigh so woefully, my
little Rose, and look so tragic? These
gentlemen have their secrets to pre-
serve, especially just now, when one
cannot be sure that his neighbor will
not betray him for chance to curry
favor with the governor. or he is not
scheming for opening the way to the
English"
Roses reply. whatever 1t might have
been, was checked by the entrance
OF Gen. La Roche and LATTE. and
young Stewart stared supposedly at
the tall, straight form following his
host.

COFFEE HEART
Very Plain in Some People.

great many people go on suffer-
Ing from annoying ailments for long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience as follows:
Il became satisfied some months
ago that l owed the palpitation of the
heart, from which l suffered almost
daily. to the use of coffee q had been
coffee drinker for 80 years., but l
found it very hard to give up the bev-
erage.
81 realized that l must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee but
felt the necessity for a hot table
drink, and as tea is not to my liking,
was at a loss for awhile what to do.
"One day l ran across a very sem
sible and straightforward presenta-
ton Of the claims of Postum Food
Coffee, and was so impressed thereby
that / concluded to give it trial My
experience with it was unsatisfactory

pared-by thorough boiling for not
less than Is or 20 minutes. After

trouble. Postum Food Coffee proved
to be most palatable and satisfac-
tory hot beverage, and i have used it
ever since.
"The effect on my health has been
most salutary. 1t has completely
cured the heart palpitation from which

after breakfast, and never have re-

The Chinese are not entirely con-

have invented names of their own for
them, some of which are very apt

Lixina on Simple Food.

The statement that man can exist
on Ia kilos (31-3 pounds) of rye
bread consumed daily is. of course,
purely theoretical, inasmuch as no one
is able to live on rye bread alone for
a length of time. But If the bread is
made more palatable by the addition
of butter, sausages, or the like. and il
some other food is substituted every
day for part of the bread, such a bev-
erage as warm coffee being also con-
sumed, then the statement expresses
what actually happens with many peo-
lie.

The immediate causes of headaches

is scanty or thin (; the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their Weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
lnatism, malaria and the grip, the poison

indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.

the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
OH the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-

Nose Poked Into Other Businesses

Nose Poked Into Other Businesses.
The man with good olfactory or.
gan can earn big pay outside the
dairy business. The whisky testers
rely upon the sense of smell more
than upon that of taste to Judge goods
and some whisky smellers draw large
salaries. These men both smell and
taste in judging the goods. They pour
n small amount of the liquor into q
glass, whirl the glass sharply and
sniff the vapor.
Alcoholic cordials, especially such
as creme de menthe, chartreuse and
absinthe, are tested almost entirely by
the sense of smell, and big buyers
would rather have the judgment of a
smeller than of the best chemist upon
the quality of the goods.

DAVID GOES TO JAIL.

The Rev. David John Henry Swack

in the bastile of Butte because the po-

cars, the railroad. yards and freight
train also contributed to the unfortun-
ate predicament that the evangelist
found himself in.
1t was about one in the morning and
the Rev. Swackhanner was engaged in
the quest for goodly boxcar to conceal
his person in. About the same time

STATE GRllN CROP
IS MILLION BUSHELS
That is the Prediction Made by the
Deputy State Grain
Inspector.

S. S. King, chief deputy in the Off
ce of State Grain Inspector j. w. Ar
rasmith, predicts that the Washington
grain crop for 1905 will be between
SO, 600, 900 and 35, 900, 900 bushels. He
believes that the damage done by the
hot winds of three weeks ago will be
less than 10 per cent and probably not
much more than per cent of the
crop.
Mr.. Kings figures are based on re-
ports from every important wheat
growing section of Washington. These
reports came to him in response to
circular letters of inquiry mailed to
well informed and responsible men in
the Inland Empire.
after fully analyzing the replies
received from letters sent out to East
ern Washington men who are well
posted, | am satisfied that the greater
part of the damage done by the hot
winds was in Garfield county, 'saidMr.
King yesterday. There the hot
weather scorched the late sown fields
considerably.
but at the same time our CORES
pondents stated that the late sown
spring grain constituted but small
part of the crop. In Whitman, Linz
coin and Franklin counties the spring
grain for the greater part was out of
danger when the hot winds prevailed.
am satisfied that this year. wheat
crop will exceed the bumper crop of
1901. That crop went about 81, 900, 900
bushels and possibly little more than
that figure. The acreage this year is
much greater than that of four years
ago. 1t has grown steadily year by
year. New areas in Douglas, Adams
and Franklin counties have been put
into cultivation. In some parts of
these districts abundant rams in the
spring gave the spring wheat very
good start, so that it was out of dam
ger when the hot speil came. .....-.- ------.'
Farmers in the Walla Walla country
have been offered as high as 72 cents
per bushel for bluestem wheat. Some
contracts have been made between 65
and 70 cents per bushel The farm
ers, however, according to reports re-
ceived here by grain exporters, are not
anxious to sell and will not dispose of
much of their holdings until about Oc-
tober /.
Providing the wheat crop this year
runs 33, 900, 600 bushels, which is Mr..
Kings lowest estimate, it is worth
today approximately $23, 900, 600. -

REPORTS FROM
GRAIN FIELDS
Threshins Machines are Telling the Story
Of the Yield and the Quality.

The bulk of the Palouse wheat crop
is now in the shock, and every avail
able threshing machine is running
from daylight to dark completing the
1905 harvest.
Threshing has progressed far enough
to show that while the hot weather
during the latter part of the growing
season had it's effect upon the yield,
and in some instances upon the quail
ity, the average will be good and an
other excellent crop is to be recorded.
The favorable conditions during most
of the season caused heavy growth
of straw, and the threshers are COM
planning that at the prevailing price
of nine cents per bushel for threshing
they can not more than play even and
some Of them announce that they will
probably raise to ten cents.
The market has not fairly opened
yet, but fair prices will prevail, to-
days quotations being about 81 cents
per bushel for Bluestem; 579 for Club,
and 525 for Red Russian. The late
spring sown grain and the oats suffered
most from the heat, but fortunately
the bulk of the wheat crop was fall
sown.
Not many full crops have been
threshed yet, but we We're able yes
