Worcester Sauce.

In some of his recollections the
American author, Mr.. Owen Wister
tells good story concerning himself
Some time ago while in Washington
he was presented to the wife of high
government off1cial-a very ample
lady, and one whose appearance indi
Gated that she possibly enjoyed the
material comforts Of life more thar
the esthetic.
When Mr.. Wister's name was men
toned she regarded him with consid
cradle interest, and the author began
to think that something very compli
mentary was going to be said concern
ing his books. The lady beamed once
or twice in preliminary sort of way
and then remarked with genuine feel
ing:
"You know it's often very hard tc
catch the names of people who are in
troduced to you, and sometimes it's
hard to remember them. But in your
case it's so different. really want tc
tell you, MIR. Worcester, how much

SETTING Himself STRAIGHT.

George Washington Thomas, an
able-bodied negro of Sleepy Hollow,
appeared before Magistrate Nussbaum
charged with stealing chickens. The
negro was accompanied by his law
yer, Col. Simmons. a rising young
white attorney. The old Judge saun-
tered into the dingy court room where
he had reigned for more than twenty
years, and after calling for order he
looked around on the little company
there assembled. Seeing George
Washington Thomas, he pointed to
him and said:
"Be you the defendant in this case?'
"Quick as flash George was on
his feet, and, not understanding legal
terms, he exclaimed politely:
mo, sab; no, sab; amt de-fen' ant;
dar's de'fen ant ovah dar." And say
ing which he pointed to his lawyer.
There was general laugh about the
room, in which the queer old judge
joined heartily. The darkey felt abash-
ed. He was visibly embarrassed, and
thinking to correct the mistake. If
mistake it We're, he said again, point
ing at his lawyer: "Yas, sab; he's de-
Tenant" and, pointing to himself, he
said: Use de gent'man what stole de

CHAPTER XII.
The Dog Courier.

Paul Miller drew his rifle to his
shoulder and let drive two or three
shots in quick succession, sending
their late captors flying heller SHELTER
to the rear of the cavern. Whether
any of them were wounded by his
bullets or not he did not stop to
learn. He then seized the rifles,
blankets and caps and the two men

ing the precaution to secure not only
the rifles, but three pistols and all the
belts of cartridges they could find,
Both of them had filled their capa-
cious pockets with dried moose meat
until they stuck out like stuffed tur-
keys.
They broke two of the rifles because
they could not carry them and
strapped the others on their backs.

forest and being completely ex-
hausted, the two fugitives rolled
themselves in their blankets and
slept. They dared not build a fire
for it might attract the attention of
their pursuers.
When day dawned they made a
breakfast on some of the dried moose
they had brought with them and pre-
pared to resume their journey. They

The first night after they began
their ascent they camped on the
mountain side near spring and
spread their blankets under the lee OF

Hope had been revived in the breast
of Paul Miller. but his companion, who
had been deceived and cheated sc
often by outrageous fortune, evinced
little or none of his spirits.

Value Of Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis. rheuma-
ttsm. nervous prostration, and even con.
s4ln >tion.
The story told by scores of victims Of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull: another was left tired,
faint and in every way wretched from
ansemia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty III breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
WAS sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness Of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:

BIBLICAL TALE OF POWER.
"JezebeI," by Miss Lafayette Nc
Laws, Has Won Favor.

Miss Lafayette McLaw's when
the Land Was Young" instantly
sprang into popular favor, and for
a first book was a pronounced sue
cess. The promise in her first book
has been more than realized in "Jez-
ebel," work of singular power and
insight 1t is a Biblical tale of the
days when Omri and Ahab were
kings Of Israel and Elijah was a
prophet of Jehovah. Ahab, the Is
raelite, takes to wife Jezebel, the
worshiper of Baal When Ahab
comes to the throne and Jezebel sets
up the worship of Baal, the prophets
and believers of Israel are incensed
against the queen, and Jezebel be-
gins a fierce persecution of her enc.
mics. This contest is the chief mo-
tive OF the story.
Miss Mel IS has endeavored to
throw new light upon the character
of Jezebel. and. while she does not
depart from the Biblical account. she
surely presents this strong.willed,
beautiful queen in somewhat novel
and striking manner. We get
glimpses of Jezebel the woman as
we'll as Jezebel the queen. and it is
as woman with warm passions and
jealous instincts that Jezebel is
most and best portrayed
The book is replete with dramatic
situations, the action is rapid and
stirring, and the denoument is orig
inal and startling. Altogether it is
one of the books of the day and a
distinct contribution to the novel
literature of Biblical days.

shoulder. Down he went under the
blow, dropping the rifle at Pauls feet.
