 ing restored the captains mind just as d sudden shock had taken it away.
 After the transports of his reunion to his wife and daughter were over, the captain was impatient to see Edward, and, learning that he had gone with the detective to Barkington's lodgings, he fol- lowed and arrived just as the receipt was discovered.
 A short time afterward Richard Harde sat alone in his dining room Before him was a glass of wine and a small bottle Of poison. The game was up! He had in- vested all his wealth in margins on Turkish securities, which had steadily gone down. He could not hope to realize by closing out now anything like enough to meet the obligations which stared him in the face. That day Dodd's lawyer had served notice on him that the receipt for $l4009 had been found and that he must refund the amount or stand criminal action Besides, he must pay the court costs and the damages which Alfred had obtained. With a grim smile he mixed hls wine and poison. "I will outwit them thus" he said
 Just then an acquaintance of the stock exchange came in for a chat, and as he was going out again. he turned back to say, "Oh, by the way, did you hearf Those old Turks went up with boom today"
 Hardie threw his poisoned cup into tho fireplace and ran out to take d cab to the city. The "old Turks did go up. And they kept on going up At the end of ten days Hardie sold out, having cleared e49.00O

TEN BEST THINGS TO EAT.
Vi -orus Discussion Under Way In
 North Carolina and Virginia.
rom the Norfolk Cva) Landmark.

From the Norfolk (Va) Landmark.
 Quite vigorous discussion is under way in the Charlotte and Greensboro sec tlons of North Carolnt over the ten best things to eat.'
 J. F. Wolfe of Greensboro rushes into the ring with the following suggestions:
 'sThe only way to settle this contest Is by primary. After all lists are in let it be settled by a vote of male voters ranging from 15 years up to 90 years. good appetite being the only qualification required of the voter.
 q give the list In the order they be- long, in my opinion.
 1. Roasting ears, roasted in shuck in hot ashes
 "2. Broiled Smithfield ham.
 "3. Smothered quail with gravy.
 A. Stewed young chicken with gravy.
 "5. Stewed oysters seasoned to taste.
 "6. Mountain trout roasted in the ashes in a shuck.
 "7. Country sausage like our mothers used to make
 ''S. Roasting ear pudding.
 "9. Buckwheat cakes with good butter and Barbardos molasses. washed down with Mocha coffee.
 TO. Bermuda onions boiled like poaehed eggs and seasoned to suit taste"
 Nfutl MI " Ollt puts ubWn oSoltto o' only one of the ten best things to eat he shows woeful ignorance. oysters are en- titled to at least three numbers on the list. Soft crabs come next spot and hogiish are to be added. and lobster will never be forgotten by intelligent eaters.
 This leaves only three pieces of the ten unified. Smothered a quail with gravy sounds all right. We like it and admit it to the company of the elect Chicken of the proper temper and fneness also has right on the table of an epicure. but what does Mir. Wolfe mean by steawing 1t instead of having 1t fried? Smithfield ham is delicious, genuine country saul sage Is hard to beat and buckwheat cakes as dressed by Mir. Wolfe-um-m-m-m Away with the onions. and bring us a dish of the mountain trout. Canvasbacx duck properly prepared Is dish for the gods. and roasted Princess Anne turkey is better than anything previously named except oysters and soft crabs.

Paderewski as Chicken Fancier.

From the New York Times
 PaderewslSi may be poetic looking with his exaggerated long locks. hut he is cer- tainly most practical, for both he and Mime. Paderwski are keen on poultry raising and are fanciers. Tn fact poultry is their joint hobby. Mime. Paderewski has a large poultry farm at Morges. on Lake Geneva. and has fourteen distinct varieties of fowls. She Is also the presi- dent of Switzerland's Poultry club. and both she and the pianist are keen judges of the fine points of fowls. When the two recently visited Liverpool. England. Mme, Paderewski went to Marston to purchase the variety of fowl known as buff or- pingtons The vicar of Marston, who raises that species, has supplied many O. Europes crowned heads with choice specimens of that variety.

Charles Reade was both a novelist and . dramatist. and though he himself may have looked to his plays to perpetuate his name, 1t Is by his novels that he is best remembered. His fame rests largely on the skill with which he inveighed against social wrongs; and his novel of Hard Cash-originally called Very Hard Cash-caused a sensation.
 Parliamentary debates and the daily press rang with echoes of it, and Reade found himself engaged in a warfare which, as he was well supplied with ann munition, he thoroughly enjoyed and en- tered into with zest. Reade liked to write E novel a play with "a purpose" the purpose of Hard Cash was to expose the abuses of the private insane asylum system and the danger and idiocy of the laws then in force relating to lu- macy,
 In these matters the revelations of Hard Cash brought about a great reformation, just as Dickens account of Dotheboys hall in Nicholas Nickleby caused the reformation or extinction of such boys boarding schools as the immortal one that he depicted as being under the man agement of Squeers. With Charles Reade and Charles Dickens writing at the time, many social abuses in England woke up in the morning to find themselves dead"
 Reade Is one of the enduring" Eng fish novelists, and his fame would be greater had his genious not been over shadowed by that of his two great con- temporaries, Dickens and Thackeray. Hard Cash is an excellent example of his literary style and his moral 'pur- pose"
