THE VENETIAN GOBLETS.
By Rnlnh J. Herkimer.


 Copyright, 1906 by Daily Story Pub. Go. AS 1t was dark when I reached Amiens I decided to spend the night at the house of a friend, for did not dare to imperil the message by riding at night. Already I had been attacked
 sintr ianding at Cologne and I had no mind to fail in the first impor- tant trust with which the king. my master, had intrusted me.
 found my friends house with some little difficulty, being obliged to in- quire the way several times from pas sers by. This was unfortunate, as the event proved, for it gave my enemies clue to my stopping place. Jean it seemed was absent on a visit but was expected to return any minute His father. the Count d'Arteis received me kindly and bade me, as a friend of Jeans to make myself at home
 The house was very old and the drawing room which was used as a guest chamber had an air of historic association which was increased by the trophies of sport and war that hung on the walls. The windows were of heavy plat glass and were hung with curtains of fine Brussels lace. On the ceiling was a peculiar mosaic tile which was crumbling in places with age. In one corner of the room stood valuable collections of glass articles. Two of these in particular the Count pointed out to me as the pride of his collection. They were of crystal with out other ornament than their natural purity and clearness. He informed me that they were of the celebrated Vene-- tian glass, so delicate that if a poison ". r Ired into one 1t would crumble to pieces
 Dinner was soon over, and after chat with my host over our cigars ] retired to my room. About half after inc the bell rang and the butler an 10unced a gentleman to see me. ] asked to have him shown to my roor nd after an interval he appeared From the instant he rang I feared for my precious message, and his aspect was not reassuring except in one pai
 rular. I make the exception because 1t first sight 1t was apparent that he was no match for me in physical strength. He was a thin, pale indivld- Ial. constantly coughing His face was ugly and unintelligent and his
 tiHs eyes were dull and expression less.
 In round about manner. but with out displaying any tact, he managed to convey the idea that he wished to purchase my message. He went about

Naturally my first impulse was to throw him bodily from the roomi but I reflected that if he could De mace to talk I might learn something or value. With this idea in mind l got from my saddlebags a flask of cordial and as there were no other glasses in the room I took from their resting place the two Venetian gonlets. and. pouring the wine into them, returned to the end of the room Go get a chair
 As I picked up the chair there was sharp sound as of a stone cropping When I return to the table notice that piece of my glass was broken in a star shaped form, as though It had been suddenly hit. TO put him at his ease and partly to give him a no- ton of the value of what he had brok- sn told my visitor of the legend con- nected with them. As I finished I saw that he was much agitated. drops of perspiration stood on his forehead as he trembled violently. He saw me watching him and tried to cover his confusion by a fit of coughing, but l was thoroughly aroused Why had the tale so affected him? In, a nash' saw it all. Holding a piece of my glass to the light I saw on the side a powder like substance. I was examining this when my caller took the opportunity to escape This did not worry me, how ever, for I had no mind to be delayed in my journey to give evidence before the city magistrate. The powder knew to be arsenic, with which l had before had experience. It was now quite late and l would have to start early. retired immediately and be-

BACK TO PULPIT.
What Food Did for a Clergyman.

A minister of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape-Nuts food brought him
back to his pulpit: Some 5 years ago
l had an attack of what seemed to be
La Grippe which left HE in a CON-
plete state of collapse and | suffered
for some time with nervous prostra-
ton. My appetite failed, / lost flesh
till | was a mere skeleton, life was a
burden to me, | lost interest in every
thing and almost in everybody save
my precious Iife.
Then on the recommendation of
some friends / began to use Grape
Nuts food. At that time / was a mis-
cradle skeleton, without appetite and
hardly able to walk across the room;
had ugly dreams at night, no disposi.
ton to entertain or be entertained and
began TO shun society.
Il finally gave up the regular minis
try, indeed | could not collect my
thoughts on any subject, and became
almost a hermit. After l had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time | discovered that ! was taking
on new life and my appetite began To
improve; l began to sleep better and
my weight increased steadily; ! had
lost some so pounds, but under the
new food regime | have regained al
most my former weight and have
greatly improved in every way.
Il feel that / owe much to Grape
Nuts and can truly recommend the
food to all who require a powerful re-
building agent, delicious TO taste and
always welcome"
