CHAPTER XIX.
"oH. MISTER BUTLER"

Warburton had never lacked that
rare and peculiar gift of Immediately
adapting himself to circumstances. To
| lie now would be folly, worse than
useless. He had addressed this man
at his side by his military title. He
stood committed He saw that he must
throw himself wholly on the colonel's
mercy and his sense of the humorous.
He pointed toward the stables and drew
the colonel after him; but the colonel
held back.
THAT rose first: I insist upon hav-
ing that rose till you have given me
a satisfactory account of yourself"
Warburton reluctantly surrendered
his treasure. Force of habit is pecu-
liar one. The colonel had no real
authority to demand the rose; but
Warburton would no more have
thought of disobeying than of running
away.
"You will give 1t back to me?"
'"That remains to be seen. Go on;
am ready to follow you And I do not
want any dragging story, either" The
colonel spoke impatiently
Warburton led him into his room
and turned on the light. The colonel
seated himself on the edge of the cot
and lighted a frcch cigar
"Well, sir, out = it. an vat
ing"
Warburton took several turns about
the room. 81 don't know how the deuce
to begin, Colonel. 1t began with a
joke that turned out wrong"
"Indeed?" -sarcastically LET me
hear about this joke"
M'sieu Thames dallied no Longer,
but plunged boldly into his narrati e.
Sometimes the colonel stared at him as
II he beheld a species of lunatic abso-
lutely new to him, sometimes he
laughed silently, sometimes he frowned.
That's ALL" said Thames; and he
stood watching the colonel with dread
In his eyes.

"Sir?"
"Of all the jackasses!"
Warburton bit his lip angrily.
The colonel swung the rose to and

SHUN DRUGS.
And Medicines of Every Description,
Is the Counsel of the Great
Russian Specialist.

LONDON, June 9.-Prof. Ellie
Metlhnikoff, the great Russian savant,
who has been lecturing in Kings Col
lege, deprecates the use of medicine
and drugs, as they often are poisonk
themselves.
The elements of the body which
fight against enaffection, such as the
phagocytes, are not insensible TO
poisons. For instance, they are
harmed by small doses of opium, and
experience shows that alcohol has a
harmful action upon them.
Other substances regularly used in
medicine cases have the same results,
quinine, the prophylactic effect OF
which in malarial fevers IL indisputa'
BILE as poison for all the blood cells
Hence, as a general rule, medicaments
should be avoided as much as possible
in favor of hygenic measures tha'
might check the outbreak of ineffective
measures.
Prof. Metchnilioff, in another Zee
ture, said that the minute organism
known as oxyures and ascaridles' OF
ten exist in vegetables, and, being car
red into the intestines, are the cause .
of appendicitis by injuring the mucous
lining in the area of the appendix, ana
so laying bare the points of entry lot
germs which cause appendicitis.
Vegetables, therefore, should oe
scaled. Washing them in oo'lhe
water is not sufficient to kill the dan
gerous microbes they harbor.

"Any lunatics among your ances-

Warburton shook his head, smiling
wanly.

colonel. "a graduate of West Point,
the flop of Troop A, the hero of hum

and serving soup!"
Always keep the motive in mind,
Colonel; you were young yourself
once"
The colonel thought of the girls
mother. Yes he had been young once,
but not quite SO young as this cub Of
his.
What chance do you suppose you

lessly.

The colonel observed him warily. He

licked into the bargain.

rlotous gulls, swift trolling-a conta-
gious atmosphere OF motion that sets

upon many. But despite the thrill and
exhilaration no form OF handling can
justly be termed sport on the same
basis as rod and reel angling, 1t being
too nearly akin to the methods en-
ployed In strictly market fishing.
The bluensh, taken from a stationary

Mrs. Pratt and Mrs. Bagby were Of
the same opinion, but they could make
no suggestion as TO how relief could be
afforded. At this moment the topic OF
conversation, James Smith. who had
recently occupied n cottage In the fash

"But 1t will take a great deal of mon

was n widow of ample means. "All I

Having been promised the required
support. Mrs. Pratt. accompanied by
Mrs. Bagby and Mrs. Waters, waited
upon Mr.. James Smith with the pur-
pose OF purchasing the Elder cottage.
As the ladies approached the house
Mr.. Smith. who was sitting upon the
porch in his shirt sleeves. arose and
greeted them cordially as he knocked
the ashes from his clay pipe.
