The smoking weapon fell to the
floor from the nerveless grasp of Ar

thrust it into his pocket, but the pre-
caution was unnecessary. Morris lay
on the sanded floor of the inn, stark
and deathlike, a frown upon his face.

When the launch approached, Ar

There were several richly dressed
saw at glance that Morris and some
of his companions were under the in
fuence of liquor Jessie guessed as
much, and her suspicious became a
certainty when Morris stepped I'M
steadily to the landing and came
toward her, vacant smile mantling
his face.
"A thousand pardons, Miss Garden"
he said, his voice husky and his body
very erect, but wavering. "A thou

sure you'll Sail right, though; sail

and he stepped forward to offer his

side.

cried Jessie, shame and anger driving
the crimson to her face. Don't let
him come near me, joint" she ex-
claimed clinging to Burt's stalwart
arm.
"Stand back, Morris!" said John in
a low, clear tone, glitter in his dark
gray eyes. you are in 10 condition,
sir, to meet Miss Garden"
The fiashily-dressed throng of
guests was grouped behind Arthur
Morris. One of the young women
grasped. Arthur Morris by the lapel
of the coat.
"Come on, you fool" she said with
vindictive little laugh. Don't you
see you're not wanted?" She turned
him half round and Kingsley grabbed
him by the arm.
Come along, commodore" said that
young blood. you are in the wrong
pew, commodorei Cheer up, sad sea
dog; we may be happy yeti And with
laughter and taunts the guests of the
Voltaire led the yachts befuddled
owner along the pier into the grove.

Jessie shed tears of vexation, but
anger dried her eyes. She turned to
John with wistful little smile on her
lips.
Take me out in your boat, John,
she said. Lets get as far as we can
from those dreadful people"
In few minutes the Standish bob
bed saucily at the landing, and Jessie
stepped on board. The wind had
scarcely filed the sail when Morris
came running down the pier He stop

and glared at them as they glided
away, brute rage showing in every
feature of his flushed face. His
friends followed and led him back.
Little was said between the two
as the boat moved swiftly along. Each
was busy with thoughts, and both
seemed under the spell of threatened
trouble. John pointed the boat for
Minot's Light, and having passed in
side followed the rocky shore, avoid
ing the reefs and shoals, which were
to him as an open book.

Going away?" echoed Jessie.
Where, John?"
"Out West-to California"
"Going to leave Harvard? Going
to California? Surely you're joking
What does this mean, John?" The
little face was serious now.
That is the second secret, Jessie"
There was that in his voice and in
his eyes which thrilled the girl by his
side. Jessie's soft brown eyes open
ed wide, then dropped as they met his
fer<ent gaze.

"My oldest girls health began to fail
when she was about fourteen. She was
nervous, complained of sharp pains in
her head, would get deathly sick and
have to leave the school room to get fresh
air to revive her. I gave some pills TO her
She uool1only few boxes, but they cured
her troubles, and caused her to develop

husband took them for rheumatism and
found that they would cure that too. So
you see we have all got great good from
using them, and that is why we recon-
mend them to Others"

John Burt glided across the room,
grasped him by the shoulders, drag
ged him from the chair, and with a
grip of iron shook him as dog does
a rat. His wineglass fell with crash
to the floor.

Morris guests threw themselves be-

his grasp on Morris neck. Dazed for
the moment, Morris recovered him

with rage. Selling heavy bottle,
he hurled it at Johns head. The bot
tie missed it's mark and crashed
through a mirror. Reaching into his
pocket with a quickness wonderful in
his condition, he drew a revolver,
and before any one could interfere
fired pointblank at John. Burt, who
was not three yards away.

CHILDREN AFFECTED.
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

! Many babies have been launched into
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mothers
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing

Kansas City mother is a case in

HYMNS OF A HIGH NUMBER.
Curious Rule Prevails in the English

Curious Rule Prevails in the English
Church at Monte Carlo.
A curious fact anent the service
held in the English church at Monte
Carlo is that no hymn under thirty
seven is ever sung there. The reason
for this may not be generally known
1t is as follows:
A member Of the congregation, a
certain English peer, once went to
the rooms on Sunday, Immediately
after the morning service, and put
the maximum on thirty-two, the num-
Der of the last hymn. 1t turned up,
and the inspiration" was widely
talked about, as such things are in the
frivolous society of the principality.
The next Sunday the little church
was crowded and the last hymn being
low number, an unseemly rush to
the rooms took place directly 1t was
announced. Curiously enough, the
number again turned up and the bank
was badly hit.
On the following Sunday the church
would not hold all the "worshipers,"
but their intent was frustrated. as
all the hymns were "o~ the board"
and have been so ever since.

One of the most isolated colonies

rarest visits from a whaler and ocea-
sionally from British warship. The
inhabitants number about seventy and
are descendants of sailors, castaways

island when 1t was garrisoned by a
company of British artillery during
the time of the great Bontparte's ex-

Sam. John hung back defantly.

At the sound of Jessie's name a
wave of agony swept over John Burt.
With a glance at the motionless form
of Morris, he turned and followed
Sam Rounds. No hand was raised to
stop him. The witnesses of the trag-
edy, held in spell, had eyes for
naught but it's victim.
Jessie ran forward to meet him,
her face white with fear.

bled and her lips parted with vague
terror. Are you shot? Are you hurt
John? oh, tell me, joint"
I'm not hurt. darling said John,
looking into the uplifted eyes. Some

1t might have been imagination, but
he thought that Jessie shuddered and
drew away from him. They heard the
rapid beat of hoofs behind them and
she clutched his arm.
Out of the darkness a horse. madly

Sam in a whisper.
