Frank Francis. one of the Indians

story on himself. He SAYS he was en-
gagged In his usual occupation OF
hunting seals last Saturday and was
padding off Goose Nest ledges at dead
low water quite early in the morning,
about $50 o'clock he thinks, when his
practiced eye perceived game.-and
profit, IL he could bag it,-lying on an
uncovered ledge of the outer reefs
or the Goose Nest. Francis Is con.
sidered a fair shot. He took careful
aim with his rifle and fired, but a
slight motion Of the light canoe de-
nected the bullet. The seal was
wounded but started for the water
with lively vigor and Francis, con-
sumed with fear that he should lose
his prey, threw discretion to the
winds and with wiry arms bent to the
paddle In pursuit. The canoe flew

The situation looked as though II

CHAPTER XVI

~ the third morning Goodwin

w. rise streaming through the
lattlced window They fell
upon another bed near by, where WuIf
still lay sleeping, bandage on his
head, that had been hurt in the last
charge against the assassns, and other
bandages about bis arms and body,
which were much bruised in the fight
upon the dreadful bridge.
Wondrous was II to Goodwin to watch
him lying there sleeping healthily, not
withstandlng his Injuries, and to think
Of what they had gone through to-
gether with so little harm; to think
also of how they had rescued Rosa
mund. oh, how wise they had been to
obey the dying words Of their uncle,
Sir Andrew, who doubtless was given
foresight at the end! God and his
saints had helped them, who could
not have helped themselves, and his
minister had been Masouda.
Why had Masouda done these things,
again and again putting her own life
upon the hazard to save theirs and
the honor of another woman7 AS he
asked himself the question Goodwin felt
the red blood rise to bis face. II was
no longer possible to hide the truth.
She loved him and had loved him from
the first hour when they met He had
always suspected it-when she kissed
his feet after he had saved her from
the lion, and many another time.
But as they followed Wulf and Rosa
mund up the mountain pass while the
host Of the assassins Numbered at
their heels and In broken gasps she
had told him Of her sad history, then It
was that he grew sure. Then, too, he
had said that he held her not vile, but
noble as indeed he did. And, thinking |
their death upon them, she had IAN

night they passed through the gates of
the city Of Damascus, Bride OF the
Earth, set amid It's seven streams and
hinged about with gardens, one Of the
most beautiful and perhaps the most
ancient city In the world.
Along the narrow streets, bordered
by yellow, fiat rooted houses, they rode
slowly, looking now at the motley,
many cOlored crowds, who watched
them with grave interest, and now at
the stately buildings, domed mosques
and towering mlnarets, which every
where stood out against the deep blue
OF the evening sky. Thus at length
they came to an open space planted
like garden, beyond which was seen
huge and fantastic castle that Hassan
told them was the palace OF salah.ed-
din. In its courtyard they were parted,

found themselves In a small domed
room lit by hanging silver lamps and
paved In tessellated marbles, strewn
with rich rugs and furnished with
cushioned touches.
At sign from Hassan the brethren
stood still In the center Of the room
and looked about them wondering.
The place was empty and very silent.
They felt afraid--of what they knew
not. Presently curtains upon Its far
Their side opened and through them
came q man turbaned and wrapped In
a dark robe, who stood awhile In the
shadow, gazing at them beneath the
lamps.
The man was not very tall, and slight
In build, yet about him was much
majesty, although his garb was such
as the humbIest might have worn. He
came forward, lifting his head, and
they saw that his features were small
and finely cut; that he was bearded,
and beneath his broad brow shone
yet at times piercing, eyes,
which were brown In hue. Now the
Prince Hassan sank to his knees and
touched the marble with his forehead,
and, guessing that they were In the

The Philippine Tariff Bill.

There seems to be a chance for the Phil
ippine tariff bill, and we may all hope to
see it improved A worthier measure has
not been presented to Congress at this ses-
sion And it's worth and our duty are en-
phasIzed by the calamity In California. We
are responding in the one case with the
most praiseworthy promptness and gener-
osity, and why not respond in the otherr
The people of the Philippines have suffered
not only by reason of the loss of markets as
the result of our occupation. but also by
reason of the visitations of nature. Disease
carried off fully eighty per cent of their
draft animals, and this left the farmers

would Tighten and brighten their lot to a
very considerable degree, and while we

as a matter of fact 1t would cost US nothing

Common Sense Sanitation.

The example of the administration in
endeavoring to reduce to minimum the
danger Of the spread Of tuberculosis in
the executive departments by posting reg
ulations governing the sanitation Of the
buildings and the conduct Of employees,
should be followed by the managers or
employers Of all large bodies Of working
people, Of whatever grade. The regula-
tons that have been posted throughout
the departments are founded upon common
sense and scientific laws.
There is undoubtedly a certain amount Of
danger in the close association of men and
women in all stages OF health during seven
or eight hours each day. The careless dis
posal Of sputum and inattention to ventila-
ton must be remedied. Heretofore only
the least degree of consideration has been
paid to the habits of those who are af-
fiicted with tubercular disease. but Of late
an imperative public demand has arisen
that these unfortunates be regarded as
possible centers of Infection, and, while
not strictly segregated during their period
Of working activity, at least required to
observe certain fundamental rules Of con-
duct.
The lesson is being steadily impressed
upon the public mind that consumption Is
preventible, but to prevent its spread the
personal habits of those already 1nnocu-
lated with the disease must be corrected
If all who are known to be thus afflicted
are kept, so far as is humanely and ad-
ministratively possible, out of immediate
and close contact with the well, and IL
the rooms in which clerks work each day
are kept thoroughly cleaned. with par
ticular attention to certain details of SAM
tation, the danger will be materially les
sened.
These rules should be placarded In ali
places where men and women work To-
gether, whether their employment be IN
an Office, a store a factory or hall OF
asSemblage.

The New Regime in Russia.

The Washington correspondent OF the ST.
Petersburg Daily Mail touches upon the
value Of legislative oratory in his latest
letter TO that newspaper. When the duma
meets you will expect the speeches TO have
great influence with members. You imagine
the members approaching subjects with
open minds, anxious for words OF enlight
eminent and wisdom, and quick TO accept
them when spoken. Put that out of your
mind. We are certain 10 have good many
speeches. and some Of them, am prepared
TO believe. viii be worth hearing, but NOT
one In ten thousand will make a convert.
Members will file into the chamber with
party brands and obligations fun upon them,
and no matter the eloquence or the learn
Ing that may have been turned on during
the sitting, every fellow will file out again
just as he filed In. When the voting be-
gins you must be found on your own side
