CHAPTER Y.

James had considerable experience with
horses. He knew at once that It was prob
ably hopeless undertaking to change the
mares mind, or rather her obstinacy. How
ever. he tried the usual methods, touching
with the whip. getting out and attempting
to lead. but they were all. as he had sup
posed from the first, In vain. A terrible
sense Of being up against fate itself seized
him: an animals will unreasoning, unre-
lenting. bears, In fact, the aspect of fate It
self. 1t is at once sensate and insensate.
James thought Of Clemency, and decided to
waste no more time.
The gray mare was near enough to tree
to tie her. and he tied her and set out on
foot. 1t was a very dark night, cloudy and
chilly and threatening snow. He walked
on. as 1t were, through softly enveloping
shadows. which seemed to his excited fancy
to be coming forward to meet him He be-
gan to be very much alarmed. He had
wasted most Of his young sentiment upon
Clemency's mother, but, after all, he sud
denly discovered that he had q feeling for
the girl herself He thought that it was
only the natural anxiety Of any man OF
honor FOE the safety Of helpless young
girl out alone at night, and beset by pos
sible dangers, but he realized himself In a
panic. His plan was of course, to GO d.
rectly to Annie Lipton's home, some two
miles farther on, then 1t occurred to him
that Clemency must inevitably have left
there. If she were lying dead or injured on
the road. how in the world was he to see?

James was even weeping. She felt his tears
on her hand. 1t did her good that anybody
could love her SO little as to be able to stay
by and see her suffer, and weep for her,
and not rush forth in a rage of misery like
Thomas Gordon. In a second, however, she
had command of herself. She drew her

APPENDICITIS.
New Theory Of It's Cause-Danger Id
Vegetables.

Paris Correspondent London Mail.
The question as to whether ID is advisable
to operate SO frequently for appendicitis
continues to arouse the interest of French
physicians.
M. Blanchard, q shining light In the
French medical world, now comes forward
with startling new theory which entirely
upsets all preconceived notions. He asserts
and says his assertion is backed by Prof,
Metchnikof Of the Pasteur Institute-that
appendicitis is undoubtedly caused by in-
testinal worms. These are Of three kinds,
and the most dangerous is that known as
the trygocephal, which causes the sharp
pains and symptoms which indicate appeni
dicitis.
Microscopic examination in every case
of appendicitis that has come under the OBJ
servation Of Prof. Blanchard and Prof.
Metchnikof has revealed the presence OF
these parasites in the appendix. "Appen-
dicitfs," says Prof Blanchard, more es-
pecially occurs during the hot weather, and
although not contagious infectious, it
frequently assumes the character of an cpl
demic in certain districts"
Now, according to the professor market
gardens in the neighborhood of great cities,
such as Paris and London, are frequently
manured and fertilzed by the deodoriZed
and chemically treated product Of the city
sewers. In these market gardens the vege-
tables are forced, and examination shows
that they contain numerous intestinal par
astes, and especially the eggs of the dread
ed trygocephal.
The professor says that a surgical opera
ton for appendicitis is absolutely unneces-
sary, and that it should never be performed
unless some ha. d substance, such a
cherry stone, has been accidentally swal-
lowed by the patient He urges legislation
to forbid the use of deodorized and chem
ically treated sewage as manure. and that
thymol should be extensively used against
intestinal worms. !
Appendicitis adds Prof. Blanchard,
when not the consequence of the acci-
dental swallowing OF some hard substance,
Is undoubtedly caused by the parasite to
be found in cabbage, turnips, carrots and
cauliflower. The danger lies in eating veg-
etables that have been forced by manures
or watered by contaminated well and
spring water"

er and enough adventures for the
heroine to entitle her to write a book
on The Strenuous Life" These ro-
mantle plays have a fascination for
the theater goers and the one now on
the stage at the Heilig is up to the
standard.
The chief interest, however, rests
with Miss Gallatin. AS stated, she has
entertained Portlanders in the past,
but as Dorothy, Miss Gallatin sur
passes her former efforts. Dorothy
Vernon was real parsonage, who had
considerable excitement in her life,
but it is doubtful whether she was as
handsome or as winsome as Miss
Gallatin. Upon her rests practically
the weight of the entire performance,
and that she succeeds under the cir
cumstances is all the more to her
credit.
The supporting company is suffici-
ent for the requirements. The play
is staged we'll and the costumes are
picturesque. Miss Gallatin, in "Doro-

her heart was in it and she made the
plunge. She is woman that has en-

Many young persons wonder why
birds can with perfect safety perch or
live electric wires, to merely touch
which would give man fatal shock
But these persons do not stop to think
of the different conditions under which
the contact is made
OF course you know that no shock is
felt when the body is insulated. There
must be contact with the ground, either
directly or by means of some medium,
so as to make Il circuit 1t is the pas
sage of the current through the body
and into the ground that causes the
shock.
But there cannot be circuit when
the body is in contact with the wire
and with nothing else, and therefore
birds may perch on live wires without
the slightest electric sensation. Hu-
man beings might do the same thing
not quite so con eniently as the birds,
but with equal safety, so far as the
electricity is concerned.
