Synopsis of Preceding Chapters
DR. GEORGE LESTER, an eminent Young
- English toxicologist, was trespasslng on the
fishing preserves of British peer, when he rem
dered a slight service to Miss Edith Holt secre-
tary to the Earl of ArnClife, owner of the estate
He also encountered Harry Warren, a domineer
ing individual, who was Arncliffe's agent.
Lester vas subsequently called to the castle,
the regular physician being absent, and found
ArnCllfe dead. He announced that the Earl had
been poisoned with arsenic.
Lester learned from Edith that Arncliffe had
been his Lester's) former patron, and made a
hobby of collecting and studying poisOns
Angler Arncliffes solicitor, arrived at the Hall,
and announced that the Earl had feared he was
being poisoned and left ten thousand pounds to
go to the person chiefly responsible for the
viCtion of his murderer.
Warren was credited with triiing with the
affections of numerous village girls, notably one
named May Mannering.
Arncliffe's will left the bulk of his property
to Edith.

Indian Compositions

A TEACHER of the Indian school at
n Tucson, Arizona, gave her COM
position class the choice of three
topics: Love" Patriotism" and
Friendship" With two exceptions, the
girls chose Love; five of nine boys
were attracted by the same subject; the
rest confined themselves to Patriot
ism" and Friendship" The following
three examples show the trend of Indian
sentiment IN general:
LOVE
Love almost never ought to be till
one is well grown up and quite sensible to
make a good choice. for till then one
makes strange mistakes, When a full
grown young lady gets her thoughts more
set on one certain young man than on
her lessons or other girls, that IS most
surely the beginning of love, which ought
to be stopped short if the young man
is in any way unfit to become her husband
If he is very worthy of her attachment,
and is of the same mind toward the young
LADY, then it may be called true love on
both sides This IS the greatest good
that can come to man or woman-but
especially woman, because they are by
nature more fond of love.
Love is the only magic power given
TO mankind 1t can turn darkness into
light, poverty to wealth, and sorrow to
iov. Love is the best civilizer, for by
love We learn to submit against our viii
to what IS not pleasing, and to obey
when we would rather fight for our
rights. l would rather be loved than be
a princess
PATRIOTISM
eff d man loves his country better
than himself, he is patriotism; but it is
very hard to be that sometimes, when
he must give up all his friends and prop
erty to serve his country. We have had
a great many patriots in this country, by
which we obtained Our freedom and
wealth and greatness over all the other
countries in the world 1t would take
great while to write down all their
names. We should never forget their
service to us.
Some men were even more than
patriotism, like General Lafayette, who
fought for a country not his own, because
he loved Justice more than himself or
his own life. l should like best of all
to be such a patriotism like General
Lafayette
FRIENDSHIP
A friend is a man who gives more than
he IS asked for If you wish to borrow a
dollar, your friend would beg you to
accept two If your horse should go
lame or die, your friend would send you
his own, even if he was about to go on a
long journey-for he would rather go
afoot than let you lack comforts.
4 once heard of two friends who
loved the same young lady. Her father
was not willing for her to marry poor
man. so she told the humble sutton that
although she loved him best she could
not marry him against her fathers wish;
