find are very close over these matters and in any

1t was an unfortunate remark in more senses
than one. Beatrice did not quite realize how
quick and clever was the man TO whom she was
talking If his instinct had told him much his
cleverness told him more. Bennington was in
the confidence Of the police. And Sartoris had
imagined that the soldier was working out the
problem on his own behalf.
"Il ask the Colonel he said between his

"Those people" she stammered why I

tragedy. They pretended to know me and all
about me- am quite sure that they are actors
in disguise. But seeing that you know them"
Sartoris turned away his face for moment,
SO that Beatrice should not see its evil express

But he was quick to rise to the situation

could have failed to notice that he was greatly
disturbed and agitated With feeling that
he was going to learn something, Bennington
turned as If to leave the room.
''I am going to save you the trouble of going"
he said.
Sartoris clasped his hands to bis head. He

be to bring the authorities down upon him in

Once more there came the timid knock at the
door.
"Berrington," he said desperately. "Do you
believe that there is any good in me?"
The question was asked in almost a pleading
voice. But Bennington was not in the least

Pure Food.

The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale Of Cream Of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but 1t is a well
known fact that baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream Of
Tartar is less injurious. DR.. Herman
Reinbold, the expert German chemist,
in recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
injurious than the so-called Cream of
Tartar powders. He says that if the
quantity of alum contained in suf-
ficient quantity of baking powder for
a batch of bread or cakes for an ordi-
nary family, be concentrated to one
mouthful Of food, and taken into the
stomach of any one person, no matter
how delicate, it could do no harm.

NOTHING HID FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps In Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperor's interest In
everything that goes on in the world
is we'll known, but few are aware Of
the trouble he takes to keep in touch
with current affairs. According to a
Munich newspaper. the kaiser reads
at least three papers every day, chang.
Ing the list several times week in
order to become fully acquainted with
the ideas OF all political parties in the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs, as
well as that of the interior, has to pro-
vide newspaper cuttings, properly
named and dated, and pasted on slips
ready for the emperors perusal.
These he carefully reads. making mar
ginal notes as he goes along, and they
are then scrupulously classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer
ence. Often, too, the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects in which for the
time he is specially interested.
