in Africa. The hunting of wild lions
was his specialty-how he could shoot
them, how he could go out and be
sure of finding one, how it was done

by saying that he never yet saw liop

Mrs. Burritt was just being coaxed to
take a little beef tea, the fateful
double knock once more re-echoed
through the house.
What's that?" cried Mrs. Burritt,
sitting bolt upright perhaps he's

The housemaid met her on the
stairs, bearing a yellow envelope.
THE boy Is waiting to know if there

fingered in the expectation of hearing
something of the contents.
The girl seized it and tore it
open!
To return to her brother, who had
been told that there were yet many
more bodies in the church, for which
room could not be found elsewhere.
and who, accompanied by a detach-
ment of other seekers, thereupon left
the station for the sacred edifice. 1t
was a relief to find themselves again
in the open air. after the CHASTITY
sight that had just met their eyes.
But there was horror in the thought
that they were only exchanging one
such scene for another.

such a thing as that that he must
take home with him, If it should prove
by any means possible to separate the
identity of the one from the other?"
He came in sight of the church,
which was not far from the station.
Arriving at the porch the foremost of
the party discovered that the door
was locked. Here was a sudden check
and they began to consult together as
to where the key might be found.
AS they did so, a window of one OF
the little cottages opposite the church
was thrown up, and an old man, in a
quaint, old fashioned nightcap, stuck
his head out.

THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER
Different Materials Called For In the
Various Grades

William R. Stewart, in his article
on Paper and Its Manufacture" in
the Technical World Magazine, de-
scribes the process briefly as follows.
I'm its broad outline the process of
paper-making may be described as
collecting the raw material (pulp),
whether made from wood, rags, or
other substances, diluting with water,
forming a sheet on porous surface,
so that the water may drain off, and
drying the sheet of paper thus formed.
Different materials are used for the
pulp being now used in the manufac-
ture of nearly all the fine paper, straw
and manila in making wrapping pa
pers, etc. But large amount of pa
per is given its distinctive character
after 1t leaves the paper mill by sur
face coatings with various substances.

Practical TOYS.

Toys, whether useful or as a pas
time as instructors, are fascinating.
However, the up-to-date toy is prac-
teal. Children have miniature work
ing autos. A make-believe train, a
splendid toy, is real train of cars
with real locomotive and real track.
There are children out West on
whose fathers property small streams
cross. These boys initiate the things
they see going on about them. They
build dams, check the water, con-
struct miniature systems of irrigation
in exact copy of the plan used by the
farmers of that country. The water
thus damned nourishes a garden plot
of their own.
In this play there is the dignity of
education.

CHAPTER VII.
In the Vestry.

IN inc NcStTys
There was very little sleep for any
one at Magnolia Lodge that night,
Mrs. BurTitt was at last persuaded to
go and lie down upon her bed, where
she was ministered to by her daugh-
ter and the cook.
So in lamentations and torturing
suspense, together with brief intervals
of broken rest, the night wore away.
The servants, with scared faces, crept
about the house and prepared the
breakfast, which nobody touched.
May Burritt came down stairs about
eight o'clock. and the first thing that
she saw was the daily paper lying in
it's accustomed place beside the urn.
"Ah!" she gasped, now to know
the worst"
The account she sought was as
signed the most prominent position
and was headed in large capitals

which so much horror was condensed,
and stood as though turned to stone.

Gel rails" said the old man, who had
constituted himself sort of ghoulish
master of the ceremonies.
No one seemed to care to be the
first to approach that part of the holy
edifce.
At last Ted Burritt, with grim
determination. approached the railing.
Inside the bodies, or what had once
been bodies, were disposed in two
rows.
Those on the right hand lay in cof-
fms which had been hastily gathered
from all parts of the neighborhood;
those on the left were mere groups
of ashes collected together on pieces
of tarpaulin.
Ted Burritt began at the right.hand

example, and the old clerk acted as
cicerone.

gathered round him and made an at

But thought she might have been
saved. She was such good girl

ulated towards the open coffin.

murmured Ted Burritt, as he wiped
the great drops of perspiration from
his forehead
They left the bereaved parent moan
ing over his child's remains and again
passed on. The next three collins
were examined, shuddered at and left.
The mutilated corpses which they con-
tanned possessed neither head feet
nor hands. They could never have
been taken for anything human had
not the fact been established beyond
all doubt. Was either of those his
father?"
There only remained one or two
more belonging to that row. and they.
too, were unacceptable. After that
nothing was left but the poor heaps OF
ashes on the other side.

New orleans.--By the end of the

of the fever situation believe they VIII
be in such thorough touch with con-
ditions that they will be able to speak
with authority as TO their ability to
control and eradicate the disease in
advance of the coming OF the frost.
Daily the system Of inspection and re-
port is becoming more perfect, and
by that time not only will 1t be pos
sible to tell precisely the extent of the
fever, but a period will have arrived
when no more new cases traceable to
the original infection may be expected.
II is generally believed here that
when the present sickness passes New

fruit trade. which has now been di-
verted to Mobile. unless the fruit com.
panies are willing to submit to regu-
latlons which will make impossible the
