CHAPTER VIII.

One bright, frosty day in January
when the icicles shone in the sun and the
blue sky was cloudless, the open carriage
of Lady Avon drew up at the rectory
gate. After the marriage of Mr.. Baum
garten Lady Avon had occasionally at
tended Little Wilton church as hereto
fore, but Lady Grace never. She had al
ways excuses ready, and her mother
who had never fathomed, or even suspect
ed the true cause of Grace's caprice as
to the living-put faith in them. The
countess declined to alight, and Mr..
Baumgarten went out to the gate.
Would it be troubling you very much,
Mr.. Baumgarten, to come to Avon House
occasionally and pass an hour with me?

Certainly not, If you wish it." he re-
piled. IF 1 can render you any service

Lady Avon lowered her voice and bent

~ will do so. But l hope you find
nothing more than usual the matter with
your health"
"Time will prove" replied Lady Avon.
~How is your little boy?"
He gets on famously; he is a brave
little fellow" returned Mr.. Baumgarten,
his eyes Frightening. would you like
to see him? 1 will have him brought
out"
81 should like to see him, yes; but 1
will come in"
He helped her from the low carriage,
and gave her his arm up the path, and
the most comfortable chair by the parlor
fire. The child was brought in by Dinah
Ca pretty babe in white frock and
black ribbons, the latter worn in memory
of his mother.
Lady Avon took him on her knee.

Mr.. Baumgarten paid his first visit to
Avon House on the following day. Lady
Grace was alone in the room when he
entered. Her countenance flushed Grim
son, and then grew deadly pale.
Mr.. Baumgarten took her hand, almost
hi compassion; he thought she must be

NEW YORK.

The more cheerful tone Of matters
financial is reflected in the reports of ex-
pandng trade at large jobbing centers
on fall account. Conservatism in buy
ing is, however, still enforced by money
market conditions, and purchases are not
go large as they are numerous at many
markets. Relatively the best reports
came from leading northwestern and
southwestern centers, which apparently
find crops turning ont better than earlier
anticipated. One feature deserving atten-
ton is the reported less noteworthy buy
ing of complete new stocks of goods,
which Is apparently result of money
conditions. Quite a few cities report
trade as a whole ahead of the fall sea-
son of 1906, the crop outlook in those Sec
tons no doubt influencing buying. Cox
lections show improvement in different To-
calities, but as whole are still SLOW

VAcATioNIsTs IMPORT TYPHOID

Physicians Declare Them Response.
BILE for Spreading Disease.
If Chicago people had stayed at home
during their vacations this summer and
drank good lake water, the health de-
pnrtnent would net be coping with nearly
No eases Of typhoid, - h the case at
present. This Is me conclusion Of the
health officers, who have made an exhaus-
tive investigation OF the situation. They
wondered what was causing so much ty-
phoid, as the city itself is healthy enough.
Calling for facts from attending physi-
clans, the guardian. Of Chicago's sanitary
welfare found that 51.9 per cent of the
total number of typhoid were contracted
outside the city. Tbs figuring was made
on the basis of known cases. There may
be many other cases in the city for all
the Board of Health knows, as a number
of otherwise careful doctors have a habit
of keeping the news to themselves when
they are treating a disease which should
be reported to the department. The num-
Der of typhoid cases directly traceable to
the outside vacation habit is much larger
than last year, when the percentage was
placed at 33.
The beautiful sparkling spring water"
which many resort prospectus tells
about is good enough to swim in, but the
Chicago health department would advise
the seeker after country joys to take
along a cask Of the real thing taken from
Lake Michigan for drinking purposes. The
doctors think some way that man is
more apt to take typhoid when travelling
than when at home attending to his busi-
ness. They do not wish to be understood
as knocking" on the vacation habit, of
course. They merely want to warn peo-
pie so that vacations may be taken on
an infnlli aent basis.

Hunt Cheese-EatinE Bears.

G. Smith & Son, who own a creamery
near Haines, Wayne County, Pa. have
been bothered by two bears that have
come to the creamery nightly to eat
the refuse cheese thrown out, says the
New York World. Barrels containing
the cheese trimmings have been over
turned and scattered about by the
bears.
When the bears were seen in the VI
cinity Of Hanes' postotTice the farmers
armed themselves and started in pur-
suit. The bears were run to the "three
'lakes," where they took refuge among
the cattle of William O'Nel. Dogs
chased them on to the farm of Burton
Faatz. Mr.. and Mrs. Faatz climbed a
high stone wall to get out of the way.
At Tanners Falls another crowd
Joined in the chase with pitchfOrks and
shotgdns. On the bank of brook, fish
ing for trout, were John and Burton
O'Neil. They got fright they won't
soon forget when the bears splashed
into the water near them. The fisher
men, who were standing on shelving
rock. lost their balance and plunged
into a deep hole. They were nearly
drowned when rescued by the hunters.
The bears were chased to J. C. Stock.
er's farm at Hamilton. where one was
shot. He weighed 300 pounds.

awakened Saratoga ut an early hour
Wednesday-the day of the parade of
the veterans who attended the national
encampment of the Grand Army Of the
Republic. 1t was expected that $1,000
paraders would be in line and the
weather, which was unfavorable in the
early morning, gave promise of bright
ening before the hour scheduled for the
start.
Significant Of the failing strength of
the veterans was the fact that the pa
rading distance was reduced to one
mile-the shortest ever fixed for the
national encampment. For the first
time the parade was limited to men,
bers OF the Grand Army instead of be-
ing open to all survivors of the war.
The national colOrs covered the
fronts of buildings, were festoOned at
every convenient point, strung in rows
at short intervals across the streets and
completely covered the interior of the
great convention hall, where the ses-
sionS Of the encampment were held.
Flag Recalls Gen. Grant.
One Of the features Of the parade was
the presence of a big flag which covered
the body of Gen. Grant on its way from
Mount McGregor to the tomb. In GUS
tody of the grenadier guard, command
ed by Col. f.. NJ. Sterrett of st. Louis,
of which every man was over six feet
tall and each representing one Of the
fOrty-five departments Of the G. A. r.,
this old flag brought up the extreme
rear, escorted by the whole parade and
being carried at last along the whole
line of review.
AS planned, the national officers in
carriages with Gov. Charles Z. Hughes
led the line, the chief Of staff in COM
mand being J. Cary Winans of Toledo
The department of New York State, al
though entitled by seniority to fifth
place, selected as hosts the left Of the
line, which included a representation of
every department, including Alaska,
and Of every branch Of the service. The
parade was reviewed By Gov. Hughes
and the national officers Of the G.. A. II.
The days program began with a re-
ception at Congress hall, the New York
State headquarters, in honor of Gov.
Hughes at II 80 a. IN. At IL 80 lunch

Coffee originally came from the is

coffee trees were transported to Hol-
land. This article of diet was first
scientifically cultivated at Surinam by
the Dutch in 1I1S. Though coffee was
not known either to the Greeks or Ro-
mans, 1t was used as a beverage by the
Perslans In early times. The first cof-

tined Case Of Rabies.
The Woman's Pennsylvania s. p. G.
A. Is out with a timely and valuable
statement calculated to prevent m-
necessary alarm and suffering Of hu-
man beings as we'll as Of animals. It
is commended by many Of our famous
physicians. A part Of 1t follows here
with:
II has been observed with regret that
numerous sensational stories concern
ing alleged mad dogs and the terrible
results to human beings bitten by them
are published from time to time. Such
accounts frighten people into various
nervous disorders and cause brutal
treatment of animals suspected Of mad
ness and yet there Is upon record a
great mass of testimony fron physi-
clans asserting the extreme rarity Of
ihydrophobia even In the dog, while
many medical men Of wide experience
are Of the opinion that II 1t develops
in human beings at all 1t Is only on ex-
trsmefy rare occasions; that the con-
dition Of hystertcal excitement in man
described as "hydrophobia" is merely a
series of symptoms, such dread being
caused by realistic reports acting upon
tho imaginations of persons scratched
or bitten by animals suspected of
rabies.
The late DR.. Hiram Corson, whose
practice extended over a period of sev-
enty years, during which time he
searched diligently for the disease In
man or animal, wrote under date Of
January 1S, 1895: II have never had
