CHAPTER XVI.
From Another Angle.

Miss Carney knew nothing of the
letter that Miss Weston had received
from Mrs. Bruce. and when I saw her
again, just before luncheon, she ex-
pressed great concern over her friends
condition.
do you know, Mr.. Ware" she said
anxiously, annie was dreadfully up
set over that note this morning. She
has shut herself in her room all day
and even refuses to see me. l have
just tried to persuade her to come
down to luncheon, but she won't do 1t,
and says she doesn't want anything
sent up, either. She has SO little
strength now that 1t worries mo to
have her go without her meals in this
way, and then, she has been crying,
too. which is very bad for her and a
th.zg that she almost never does.

seen it on that eventful night in the
summer. She studied it carefully for
some time and then said:
NO, it is totally unfamiliar to me.
hardly think that Annie knows any
thing about it, either. 1t was merely
her weakness that upset her, Mr..
Ware. You cannot realize how feeble
she is"
We returned to the house as the
moring mail arrived and it CHANGED to
be handed to me for distribution. AS
sorted over the letters I came across
one for Miss Weston and 1t was ad-
dressed in the now well-known hand of
the Bruce woman and had been posted
in the village the day before. Istuffed
it in my pocket without comment, and,
when l had an opportunity to hand it
to It's owner, she returned my signifi-
cant glance with look of such pathet
lie appeal that l knew she was inno-
cent of any wrong doing, and that, at
the most, she had become unwillingly
entangled in this almost unfathomable
mystery, which seemed to grow from
hour to hour.

Deadly Common Plants.

The things that give the most pleas
ure in life frequently can also cause
the greatest pain. Among flowers, for
instance, the beautiful snowdrop, the
hyacinth, jonquil and narcissus are
all poisonous, and to eat the smallest
part of the root of either of them
would produce fatal results. while the
juices of the leaves will cause violent
vomiting.
The berries of the yew tree have
killed many people, and the opium
obtained from peoples has also
claimed its victims. La1y's slipper
and lily of the valley are both danger
Gus, and if the blossoms of crocus are
chewed they will cause vomiting.
Flowers from dubious roots, however,
seem to be the most dangerous, and it
might not be out of place to dealers
in these to label them with cross
bones and mark them poison.

PETERBOROUGH GAMES.
Government Investigating the Opera
tors Of Bucket Shops That Do
Business Through the Mails.

In times of prosperity there are al
ways chances for the CRATER. During
the past ten years has been the era
of the get-rich-quick man. No sooner
does one scheme play out than an
other takes its place. Thanks to the
ever diligent postal inspectors, and an
unrelenting government, the schemers
are not so plentiful as few years ago.
For some years a number of supposed
legitimate grain and stock brokers
thrived in both eastern and western
cities. These were active in soliciting
through the mails, and through local
offices the business of small investors.
The millions of money gained from
the unsuspecting people will never be
known In New York, Chicago, st.
Louis and other cities large and ex-
pensively conducted offices were main
tanned Once the government got on
the right trail, there were irregulari-
ties discovered that resulted in fraud
orders being issued against number
of the concerns. The end is not yet,
and the work of determination will be
kept up till there is none in operation.
Buying stocks in fair market is a
risky business, but when there are
schemers to stack the cards against
the investor, there is not ghost of
show. Many bank clerk and bust
ness man can trace his downfall to
specializing in the bucket shops.

COURAGE In Daily Life.

Bravery helps to make a nation
safe. A nation of towards, however
prosperous, cannot be great nation.
Men and women who dare fling them
selves against great odds for the sake
Of their convictions; who do not
shrink from crying out against any
evil that may menace the purity of
the government; who will. If need be,
sever all political, social and financial
ties for love OF country-these are the
heroes to which a nation resorts In
her hour Of need.
The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1907-07-11
UNITY OF INTERESTS.
Relationship Of Residents Of Rural
Communities to tho Homo Town.

Live and let live" is policy that
is an expression of the Golden Rule
only in different words. There is in
born in man desire for self-preserva-
ton. 1t Is a law of life, and to this
desire can be attributed that which is
considered selfishness within us. Saw
age man has little regard for the
rights and properties Of others. He
lacks the sense of equity and justice
and Is guided solely by the brutal In.
stincts. Intelligent man realizes that
all his fellow creatures are entitled
to the same rights he would enjoy
himself. Therefore where the Chris
tan spirit is found, there can be look
ed for such equity as gives all an
equal chance to gain a livelihood and
to enjoy the products of their labor.
There should be the greatest hur-
mony among the citizens OF every
community. The interest of all the
classes comprising city or a district
should be considered Identical. 1t has
been noted that the most prosperous
towns have been built up by har-
monious and united effort of all the
people composing 1t. In these days
wnen there are evils to combat, when
oppressive trusts exist that are fac
tors in unequal distribution Of wealth,
it is all important that the masses in
each and every community unite and
work in harmony for the protection
and betterment Of local conditions. 1t
it to be regretted that in many agri-
cultural communities there Is a lack
Of harmony between what is called
the business interests and the prOduc-
ers of crops. Different reasons may
be advanced for this condition, but the
most common cause Is a misunder-
standing on the part of the citizens
as to the relationhip that should ex-
list between them. 1t is wrong for
the teachings that go forth that the
farmers interests are different from
those of the merchant, or that the
merchants interests differ from
farmers of the community. 1t
is also an erroneous idea that the
town IL alone for the townspeople
and the country districts for the farm
er. Is 1t not true that the merchant
is dependent upon the farmer for his
support? And it is equally true that
the town is an important thing to the
farmer. 1t is a convenience to him
and he is as deeply interested in all
that pertains to it, to its advancement
and the betterment of its public insti-
tutions, its streets, its parks and all,
as are the people who reside within
the town. The merchants should real
lie how important the farmer is to
them, and the farmer should be
brought to realization that the town
is for him as well as for those who re-
side within its limits, and, that the
less antagonism between the resi-
dents on the farms and the residents
Of the town the better 1t will be for
the whole community. There Is
unity of interests that cannot be
ignored, and there is common field
wherein all can work for mutucl bene-
at.
