The motion was subsequently
amended to read that the counties of
Kittitas, Chelan and Klickitat be per-
mitted to affiliate with either the east
ern or western association, choosing
whichever might be deemed most ad-
vantageous to them. This was done
because of the fact that tine larger

eastern section.

New Appendicitis Fad. .

DR.. Pond, of Liverpool, airs a new
appendicitis theory in the London
Lancet.
He says that appendicitis and other,
such ailments can often be attributed
to antimonial poisoning, and the source
Of the antimony taken up by man isl
said to be the rubber rings which are
frequently used to close bottles.
DR.. Pond has proved that such rings
consist Of almost one-third their v1ght
of antimony. The antimony is not only
dissolved by mineral waters containing
alkalis and organic acids, but these
rubber rings soon become brittle and
some of the compound falls into the
vessels. (
DR.. Pond claims to have found that
antimony can become the source of dis.
turbances of the nutritive and digestive
system, especially through continued
weakening of the muscles of the stom,
ach and intestines.

Is CHAPTER X.
Caught in the Trap.

Caught in the Trap.
1t was only after he had sat min
ute or two, amid silence so profound
that he could have heard his heart
beat, that Alexis Nazimoff began to
reason with himself. What if this
were trap?"
The idea no sooner occurred than
it was dismissed. No one had induc-
ed him to visit the place. His com
ing had been entirely of his own voli-
tion, and could not have been antici-
pated. Besides, there could be no
possible mistake about Ivan's amaze
nent when he had revealed his name,
and there was something in the man.
ner Of the man, despite his excite
ment, that forbade the idea of treach-
cry.
Then he thought of Ida.
She herewith her evident refine
ment and highly wrought nature
here, in this dark, gloomy, forbiddiIg
place-in the cellar-like apartment of
a house in the lower quarter of the
town. What did it mean? And she
was still here!
Alexis looked around, this tig2e
with more eager interest.
There was apparently no DOOR OK
cept the one at the top of the steps.
1t puzzled him. Had Ida gone in
the interim between the time when
his man had seen her enter and hts
own arrival! Then he remembered
that Ivan had not, after all, admitte:
that his sister was in the place.
"Well," was his silent conclusion,
there is nothing for it but to wait
his return. l must be patient"
When a man gets into frame cf
mind when he says he must be pa
tient, the most natural thing in tie
world to enable him to endure pa
tience with comparatively cheerful
equanimity is cigar. To his an
noyance he found that his cigar case
was in his greatcoat pocket.
Suddenly his eyes rested on Ivan's
coat. In Russia all men are smokers,
and Alexis felt the chances of End
ing cigar were strongly in his favor.
He lifted the cloak, and as he did so
he uttered an exclamation of pleas
ure.
There was cigar case cure
enough.
Alexis withdrew it from the peck

coat back on the table. AS he did

He glanced up the steps as Ivan
departed, saw the door close and
heard key turn in the outer lock ;
then rapidly departing footsteps till
they were lost in the distance. and
then there was profound silence.
Ivan had started on his mission.
and Alexis was alone.
