She is here now and seems to me to be

OF it Is that she and Jack was once great

thing to think about between now and
the next session of congress.

DR.. l.. o. Howard, known all over
the United States as the mosquito
man" OF the department of agriculture,
has sailed for Europe ON a rather Gu
rious mission He is going to bring
back large assortment of small i'm
sects which are parasites of the gypsy
moth that for years past has been
spreading over eastern Massachusetts
and seriously threatens the shade trees
and shrubbery of much of the state.
The history of the gypsy moth and IT'S
near relative, the brown-tailed moth.
| is rather romantic. They were acct
dentally let loose in Massachusetts by
a scientist who had some live ones in
his collection. They are very destruc-
tive to shade trees and shrubbeiy of
all sorts, but fortunately they are
slow spreading insect, and tho it is
years since they were first turned
loose, they have spread over only
about quarter of the state. Various
methods have been tried of externlina-
ting them. but none have been sue
cessful in more than temporarily
checking them, and the state Of Mas
sachusetts has spent over $1,000,00O
already in fighting the pest.
1t happened year ago that In
southern Russia DR.. Howard found a
number of insect parasites that preyed
on the two moths and kept them in
check in the regions of which they are
natives. He sent some of the parasites
home, and the experiments with them
were SO successful that he has gone
abroad again, this time largely assist
ed by funds from Massachusetts, and,
expects to send home some hundred
thousand Of the moth killing insects.
These will be released in the moth
ridden area, and 1t is believed will do
more toward checking the pest than
anything that has yet been tried. 1t
is expected that forestry will be bene-
flied in the future by the known fact
that "ffeas have other fleas to bite
'em," and so 1t is ad infinitum.
The state department received an
other $4,000 in aid of the Chinese fam
inc fund. This has been forwarded to
the missionary relief committees in
China, from whom a report has just
been received showing the progress of
the work up to date. There has been
over 100000 contributed by this coun-
try since the call for funds by the
president, and the missionary commit
tees state that they have now on their
register 100000 famine sufferers who
are being fed from the funds, and all
Of whom 1t is believed can be kept
alive till the next harvest. which
promises to be reasonably good

"The strength seemed to have gone

less for work. he says. Il applied

when Miss Carney asked her to

CHAPTER III.
John Carney.

= As Mr.. Carney was ushered 1nse
nv private office rose to greet him
and stepped from behind my desk with
outstretched hand; but as he raised
his face to mine drew back in amaze
ment and disgust and motioned him
to chair with scant ceremony.
Drunk! the beast!" / muttered to
myself. as he shambled drowsily to
the seat I had indicated and dropped
into it with thickly uttered Thank
you"
He seemed to fall asleep for a mo-
ment, and eyed him steadily for some
time before I could bring myself to
speak. And so the handsome, straight
forward, manly fellow of three years
ago had sunk to this! A sodden. de-
graded wretch. unfit to associate with
pigs in sty, and yet the heir to q
vast estate and the sole legitimate
protector of the sweet-faced orphan at
Carney-Croft who awaited his coming
with the Impotence born of love and
hope and confiding trust! God help
the poor girl now. and God help the
accursed wreck that sat opposite me!
His heavy breathing wheeling in
and out of his throat: his listless,
stupid face, flushed and notified from
the effects of his excuses; his body,
dripping with perspiration which stood
out in beads on his forehead and
glistened on his hand as it lay in the
sunlight; and his dropping, blood-shot
ewes, now half closed and again wan
dering aimlessly about the room; all
combined to make a disgusting pic
ture. It was with the utmost difficulty
that could restrain my feelings sui
ficiently to address him with ordinary
ciyility. Finally, my judgment pre-
vailed over my indignation, and | re-
membered that I was the legal adj
wiser, only, OF the house OF Carney,
AID not in any way concerned with
the moral conduct of its head.
: you had a comfortable journey,
hope" remarked icily.
GAS comfortable as such a Journey
can be-" he wheezed, turning his
bleary eyes toward me as he spoke.
"The conditions which made my home
coming necessary did not make my
trip enjoyable, and travelled with the
greatest possible haste, as there are
certain matters that want you to ar
range for me at once"
He spoke his words with q force and
,,racia1on unusual in q man In his con-
dition, but he was evidently control
ing himself to the utmost degree and.
as he talked, his face flushed in great
blotches. his blcod-shot eyes seemed
almost bursting from his head, and
the perspiratien oozed from his body
and trickled in little streams down his
cheeks and neck.
"Do you wish to hear any Of the de-
tails Of your fathers death?" l asked
in a most matter of fact tone.
"No. thank yoS," he said, with some
effort Il found long letter from
