When DR.. Flood, the great Kidney,

There was a small Bible on the H.
brary table and MacArdel caused
jerks and the widow to place a hand
upon it as they successfully took upon
themselves a solemn obligation to pre-
serve absolute secrecy concerning the
affair of the evening. This done, Mac
Ardel addressed them briefly but i'm
pressively:

said, that l have changed my opinion
as to your knowledge of the things
that are going on here. I'll admit that
there is more to 1t than l thought at
first and that more people are mixed
up in 1t than l had supposed. But
that only makes 1t fhe easier for us,
because, in affairs of this kind, there
is danger in numbers, and, while !
am convinced that you two are the

them confess.
You may go now, but mind you re-
member the oath you have taken to-
night OF 1t will go hard with you both.
AS long as you keep this thing to your
selves you won't get into trouble, hut
the moment you start any fuss about
it you will hear from us in a way
that will make your hair stand on
end! And whatever you do. don't
forget that I'm n doctor, and that
know, just as well as you do. what
those old rags have been used for!"
With this significant remark, Mac
Ardel opened the door of the room
and we followed them out of the
house and watched them as they clam
bered into the wagon and drove rapid
ly away.
When they were out of earshot ]
said abruptly:
This Is a pretty mess that you've
made of things, Mac! Do you realize
that these people q have us up for
assault and duress, and l don't know
how many other crimes into the bar

A marked feature of the present
season is the novelties which are APP
pearing in the realm of fashion. Con-
s~picuous among these novelties may
be mentioned the Japanese outline OF
the bodice, which is permitted to
stamp it's popularity upon the blouse,
notably upon the lace blouse which
looks very well, indeed, under such
conditions. / would quote a capital
example MADE in a combination of
thick white guipure striped with lines
of black velvet ribbon over a fine lace
front, and destined to be worn with a
fne lace skirt bordered with coarse
lace-a very good dress altogether.
Besides this, l would observe the
addition to the lace blouse of more
ordinary detail, of braces of ribbon,
short wide sleeves of ribbon, and a
belt with sash ends of ribbon. Such
ribbon could be chine with a satin
border. This needs a slim figure for
its best success, and those who are
at all stout should trust themselves to
the simpler belts of ribbon. kid, or
leather, or striped gallon. This last is
comparatively new, and is to be met
with the buckle covered to match.
The elastic belt continues to receive
1t supporters, and shines beneath the
influence of gold and silver. 1t may
also be found faced with velvet, and
only under one condition could l be
Induced to recognize its plausible
charms.
But to proceed with my list OF
trifles. I comment with joy on the
continued favor shown to the lawn
and linen collar, recognizing that the
former daily assumes a finer aspect
and is traced with finer stitching, nc
minute details of design seeming tc
be too intricate to do it service. Fol
the prodigal, summer blouses are

RAILROADS GETTING RICH.
Their Net Earnings Increased $1o4,
 728,224 In 1906.

New York, Aug. 2S.-The gross earn ings of the railroads of the United States during 1906, according to the fortieth annual number of Poor's Man ual, made the enormous increase over 1905 of $234 4,442, ,516. The net earnings increased $1O4, ,72S,224
 This was done in spite of a heavy increase in operating expenses due to higher wages and increased cost of material. Over 100000 more people travelled by rail in 1906 than in the preceding year, while the railroads moved 1,61OO99,S29 tons as compared with 1,435, ,74S tons in the preced ing year.
 The total assets of all railroads are reported as SIT ,633, or more than six times the total money in cir culation in the country. , The average receipts per passenger per mile in 1906 was 2.011 cents as against POPS in 1905.
 The total length of steam railroads completed on Dec. 31, 1906. was 222, 635 miles as against PIT ,341.02 mile: at the close of 1905, an increase ol 5,29416 miles. The actual construc tion during the year was 5,516.T0 miles

BOMB SENT TO CORTELYOU.
1t ExpIodes Under Cancellation Die In
 Philadelphia Postoffice.

Philadelphia, Aug. 28.-The explo- sion of what appears to have been a large percussion cap in a package addressed to Secretary of the Treas ury G. B. Cortelyon created excitement in the Nicetown substation of the Philadelphia postoffice.
 The package, which was collected from box in the northern section of the city, was received by Clerk Rob- erts, who says 1t was four inches long by two inches wide and ,three-quarters of an inch thick. When Roberts brought his cancellation die down upon the stamp the package exploded and was torn to pieces. Roberts was unhurt. The pieces of paper were put together and the package was found to have been addressed to Secretary Cortelyou, Washington, D. c.
 Chief Postal Inspector James k. Cortelyou, brother of the secretary, is trying to solve the mystery sur rounding the explosion, though most of the authorities think the package was mailed as joke. There was not sufficient explosive matter in it to have hurt any one. What was in the package aside from the explosive cap the officials will not say.

He declared that the next session of congress would pass a new enabling act.

He Urges Democrats There to Change
 Their Politics.
 Lexington, Ky, Aug. 28-Secretary of War Taft opened the Republican state campaign with discussion of the race problem, general political is- sues from the southern standpoint and an appeal to Kentuckians to aid the Republican party in support of those principles. He said in part: ..-
 If only under the influence of President Roosevelt's administration some of the southern states, including Kentucky, could be led into the Republican column in accordance with the real sympathies of the voters of those states it would be a crowning glory of his administration. It will not necessarily work for the bene- fit of the Republican party in the end, because the closeness with which the southern states have united in support of Democratic candidates has introduced a similar cohesion among the northern states, and we might expect much more independence of voting at the north if the voters there were not confronted with the solidarity of the south. As an Amer ican citizen and lover of my country I long for the time when the south shall nation and when the people of that sec tion shall resume the influence to which they are entitled and which they deny themselves by being frightened at a mere ghost of the past.

MISSING TEACHER FOUND.
Agnes Maguire's Body Recovered In
 Lake Hopatcong, N. J.

Lake Hopatcong, N. J., Aug. 2S.- The body of Agnes Mcguire, the Brook lyn schoolteacher, for whom hundreds of persons had been searching.>lay and night, was found about 3oO yards from the point where she disappeared from a buggy under strange circum- stances during a storm last Saturday evening. When the dead girls cousin, Charles Mcguire, the last person who is known to have seen her alive, learn ed of the recovery of the corpse he col lapsed and became hysterical.
 James Jameson and Will Snyder of Paterson, x. J., were rowing across to Noans point, near the foot of the lake, when they came upon the body floating. It had apparently just risen to the surface. The dead woman was clothed just as she had been when she started on the fatal buggy ride with her cousin last Saturday afternoon ex- cept that her hat and overskirt were missing and the hair was loose.
 While the finding of the body does not explain the mystery of the girls disappearance, it gives more support 10 the theory that MISS MaSulre eltheT committed suicide or waded into the lake in frenzy of terror and was drowned.
 The young woman was known to be greatly afraid of lightning, and there were several terrifying flashes just after Mcguire left her. It is now thought by many that after her cousin left her she became terrified; that she got out of the buggy, ran to the lake shore, not knowing where she was going, and fell into the water.
 However, as the lake is very shal' low, with a gently shelving bank al the point where she probably entered the water, q more plausible supposition Is that she deliberately drowned her self
