three-quarters of an hour previously
he had left the hospitable doors OF
friend and now was churning his way
In an unknown steamer to an unknown
destination. 1t appeared impossible
that 50 much could have happened 10
forty-five minutes. He wondered what
Drummond was doing and what ac-
ton he would take when he found his
friend missing.
However. bordering over the matter
brought no solution of the mystery, so.
being practical young man, he cast
the subject from HIS mind, picked up
his heavy overcoat, which he had
flung on the bed and hung 1t up on
the hook attached to the door. AS he
did this his hand came in contact with
tube in one Of the pockets, and for
a moment he imagined 1t was his re-
volyer, but he found it was the metal
syringe he had purchased that evening
from the chemist. This set his
thoughts whirling in another direction.

on the bed. thankful 1t was not an or

comfortable resting place. Now Kath-
crime appeared before his closed eyes
and hand In hand they wandered into
dreamland together.
When he awQke, it was pitch dark IN
his cabin. The candles, which he had
neglected to extinguish. had burned
themselves out. The short, jerky mo

kind had awakened him, and this was
confirmed by knock at his door which
caused him to spring up and throw
back the bolt. The steward was there

1t was daylight outside.

That night at dinner the captain
opened bottle Of vodka and conversed
geniaIly on many topics without touch
ing upon the particular subject OF lib
erty. He partook sparingly OF the
stimulant, and. TO Lermontoffs disap-
pointment, 1t did not in the least loosen
his tongue, and thus, still ignorant of
his fate, the prince turned in for the
second night aboard the steamer.
When he awoke next morning he
found the engines had stopped and, as
the vessel was motionless. surrnised 1t
had reached harbor. He heard the in
termittent chuck-chuck of a pony en-

there. In very few minutes he was
on deck and found that the steamer
was lying in the lee Of q huge rock,
which reminded him of Mont St.
Michel in Normandy, except that it
was about half again as high and three
times as long and that there were no
buildings of any kind upon it, nor, in
deed, the least sign of human habita-
ton.
The morning was fine. In the east

completed, the young man saluted the
captain and descended over the ships

doses gave him sharp pain, like a
burn, in the stomach, and this pain
was followed by tremendous hunger
and violent dlsagreeable excitement
But as his doses increased in frequen-

A JOURNALISTIC HOAX.

Trick the Harvard Lampoon Played
on the Crimson.
Speaking of the Crimson, Harvard s
daily newspaper, reminds every Har-
ward man of the Lampoon's master
stroke-or joke-played on that digni-
fed and unsuspecting sheet ON Me-
mortal day, 1901. The Crimson had
announced that it would not appear on
that holiday, but inconspicuously, so
few were surprised to find their Grim
son at their door that morning as usu-
al. Their surprise began, however,
when they scanned its contents. This
always serious sheet seemed to have
become most frivolous and irresponsi-
BILE during the night, for in its columns
all sorts of weird and fantastic state
ments appeared.
The news, though clothed in the usu-
al heavy, dignifed Crimson style, was
wildly revolutionary in character.
Among the items that appeared were:
"A Plot to Blow Up Memorial Hall, .
Strong Men to Get the Varsity H.
wellesley Crew to Be Guests of the
University" and most important of all
a notice, "Lampoon Celebration at Z
Tonight" Then the joke came out.
The Lampoon had published the ia
nous flake Crimson" the joke was
known throughout the country, and
that night Lampy's sanctum was the
scene of bacchanalian revelry. When
the following year the Crimson editors
sat up all night with injunctions
against a repetition of the fake the
joke was again on them, for Lampy
differs from history in that he never
repeats hiinself.-K. B. Townsend in

BOYS Use of Barometers.


Every English schoolboy who can
afford it has barometer that he
keeps hidden under his bed or in his
trunk, for in all English schools ba-
rometers are strictly forbidden to the
pupils Why should they be forbid
den? Why should they be desired?
Through the autumn and winter the
English schoolboy plays football every
afternoon, weather permitting He
must play two hours each clear day.
These two hours are taken off his rec
itations. They make his school tasks
two hours lighter; hence when he
knows beforehand that the next day
will be clear he may spare himself
two hours of useless study the night
before. His barometer pointing to
fine" saves him a lot of toll. But
when the instrument points to
change" then the schoolboy knows
that there will be no football. Thus
a boy with a barometer has a big adj
vantage. He often sells weather pre-
dictions at a penny apiece.-Philadel-

A PIECE OF STRING.
II Plays a Prominent Part In the Life
of japan.


Writing from Japan, an American
says: you must come here to appre-
ciate some of the quaint customs and
usages which contact with other peo-
pies has not yet driven out. To read
about them gives you only a poor idea.
For instance, did you ever know what
IN important thing a piece of string is
here? The children, workmen, idlers,
servants, all carry pieces of string for
use in case of emergency. With us the
parcel had to be done up, but the Jap
uses his piece of string as first aid to
the injured, to repair a rent in his
clothing, to fix a broken down jinrik-
isha, to mend tools, to take measure
ment. and, In fact, the string is his
universal tool chest. The queerest use
to which it is put, according to my
way of thinking, is when a police Off
Ger arrests a man, ties a bit of string
about the arrested mans wrist and
then leads him by the loose end of the
thin hempen fetter to the lookup. You
ask, Why doesn't the Jap crook break
the string and find a gateway He
could, but he would not. That's where
his respect for the law comes in, and
the bit of string holds the man as Sc
curely as though he were manacled by
our own humane chilled steel, nickel
plated and snap locked method. New

DIRTY WATCHES.
The Reason Is Often to Be Found In
ne Match pAnLa&

the Watch Pocket.
'Why do watches get dirty?" said
the jeweler. You'll find the answer
IN your watch pocket Turn it out"
The patron turned out his watch
pocket, sheepishly bringing forth a
pinch of mud colored dust, some lint
and small ball of black fluff
There's the reason" said the jew
eler. Watches get dirty because the
pockets they are carried in are never
clean. A watch pocket, my dear sir,
should be cleaned out regularly once a
week. Observe that rule and your
watch's works will not get clogged up
again.
Another and a seasonable rule is
never to lay your watch down on stone
or marble. The cold deranges the deli
cate works.
Never lay your watch down, in fact,
anywhere. Hang it up on a hook YER
tically in the same position it occupies
when in your pocket. Watches are
made to lie. or. rather, stand, in that
position only.
Wind your watch in the morning,
never at night. New. York Press.
