FIRST OF all, what do you collect your plants

I ana Tor this reason: that you can at once lay
your specimens out fiat between the papers,
and SO prevent them from getting bruised and
crumpled
Your portfolio should be of the same size
as the paper on which you intend to mount
your specimens, SO that you may select plants
OF suitable size.
lhe size of my mounting paper, and there
fore OF my portfolio, is 13 inches by 9 inches,
and may say that l find that size very
convenient one and quite large enough
Line making of a portfolio is very simple
matter. Get two pieces of stout steboard
at your stationer's, cut them to the right size
and connect them with two pieces of strong
tape, thus:

As these boards cost next to nothing, it is
well to have two or three pairs, SO as not to
have stout and delicate plants in the same
press at the same time.
1t is also, great advantage to have sup
ply of stiff cardboards, cut the size of the
press, to interlay with the paper, so as to
keep the specimens as level as possible.
The weights must, of course, vary accord
ing to the nature of the plant. Delicate

CHAPTER xI.-Continued.

An immense man stood stiffly at the
window awaiting us. His bearing was
slovenly as was his attire. The spec
tacles and the puffy face, unnaturally
pale, suggested the habits of the stu
dent. But the eyes, small, crafty, and
very bright, instantly corrected my
first impression, and left me baiiled
and vaguely distrustful. 1t was the
man whose reflection | had seen in
the pierglass.
"Ah, my cousin at last! Georges,
this is Mr.. Haddon, an American. He
comes to the chateau at Alterhoffen as
our guest"
1t was impossible to doubt that he
had spied on me with Madame de
Varier's consent. But | was certain
that he heard of my consent to go to
Alterhoffen with positive annoyance
/ was not blind to the significant look
that passed between them: the eyes
of Madame de Varier dilating in tri-
umph and defiance; DR.. Starva equal

a little discord might prove useful.
Madam is an admirable host" DR..
Starva said slowly in French But If
the guest is to be quite happy he must

madam wishes"
The words were almost threat |
looked with repulsion at this pale,

well to be on my guard against him.
He might be dangerous. But half the
battle was won in realizing that.
Madame de WARMER met his bold
sally, insolently careless.
"A diner, messieurs," She cried gay

Where the DANCER Lies.

The danger lies in making a hodge
podge of special tariff concessions. one
for each country. If tariff concessions.
either through lower valuations by the
United States appraisers or by lower
tariff, are to be made at all, they
should be granted to every country
Which grants the United States the
most favored nation" clause, and
against every country that seeks to
discriminate against the United States
this country is abundantly able to pro.
tect itself. Our exports are largely
of foodstuffs, and these are necessities
which other nations need. If they
want them let them make such tariff
rates as will admit them. If they
don't there's no need of i'll feeling over
the matter. Foodstuffs are staples.
and their market is wide.-Zanesvine

watching me narrowly.
/ had need to think and act quickly.
The powder was narcotic to deaden
my senses. That must be prevented
at any cost; and yet he must think
that l had taken the drug
He had called my attention to the
hotel while he cleverly slipped the
powder into the glass. l ought not to
be less adroit.
AS the waiter passed around the
table his decanter in hand, | thrust
out my leg and tripped him up neatly.
He fell against Dr. Starva, the decan-
ter still held carefully aloft.
In that moment of confusion l emp
tied the contents of my glass into my
handkerchief When Starva, furious
and perhaps suspicious, pushed the
man fiercely from him and looked at
me, was laughing heartily at his mis-
hap, the handkerchief in one hand the
other holding out the glass for the
brandy, the fingers closing over it to
hide it from his view.
"Sante!" he cried boisterously, and
drained the contents of his glass at a
gulp. / followed his example and in
spite of the powerful liquor, l tasted
Tor fancied l tasted the dregs of the
bitter drug.
"Pah!' l cried in disgust, and was
careful to hand the glass to the waiter
instead of placing it on the table. Il

my life"

assured him that | had really drunk

CHAPTER XIII.
/ Masquerade UnwilIinqIy.

1t must have been after midnight
when the carriage drew UP under the
porte-cochere of the hotel. DR.. Starva
alighted and met the concierge at the
vestibule. | heard little of what was
said at first, but the surprise of the
concierge was evident. He tossed his
arms about, and burst into excited pro
tests. Presently (and | could see that
Starva was annoyed at the action he
came to the door of the carriage and
peered within. l sat huddled up in
the corner, apparently asleep,
HE is very ill-his Excellency!"
cried the concierge in French.
Listen to me-" sternly replied
Starva in the same language. "That
is not his ExcelIency, imbecile. That
is only tourist, a Mr.. Haddon. You
understand" he repeatedly slowly,
shaking the concierge by the lapel of
his gorgeous coat, that is only a
tourist"
The fellow looked at DR.. Starva, be-
wildered.
MATS, maIs, mails" he stammered
in eXpOStulation, pointing at me.
Appearances are sometimes treach-
erous" said Starva grimly, and added
with marked carelessness, rs Madame
de WARMER arrived?"
''An hour ago." muttered the man,
his round eyes still staring at me.
Then do you think, fool, that his
Excellency would come to this hotel
at midnight, and at the hour that she
arrives? Are there no tongues to
talk? Are there no eyes to pry? If

Yes, and it is necessary to hurry"
The handful of passengers had al
ready left the boat. We descended
grasping mine.
We entered the closed carriage that
awaited us. l lurched clumsily into
the vehicle, and sat crouched up in
the corner, my head sunk on my
breast. | assumed 1t safe and fitting

refuse? But for his Excellency to be
nursed by beautiful woman-at
least" he added meaningly, for the
world to know it-now do you I'M
derstand?"
He lowered over the little concierge,
staring down at him fiercely vindic-
tive. At the same time he slipped
into the servants unresIsting hand a
number of crisp notes. The hand of
the concierge closed over them loving
ly; his broad, good-humored face slow
ly expanded into a smile of perfect
comprehension.
But yes, see it all as clearly as
the nose on my face" The little
wretch placed his forefnger on that
organ and winked.
Then you will see that there are
no inquisitive servants to spy imperti-
nently. Take us up on the lift your

DR.. Starva now placed one foot on
the carriage step, an~ leaning toward
me, gently aroused me. | opened my
eyes slowly and muttered something
to the effect that we had arrived.

The One THING Certain.

If we can be browbeaten by Ger
many, which is conceded and, proba-
bly,, will be similarly treated by
France, what is to prevent six or
seven other Europen countries from
following this clever lead of their
German and French neighbors? And
what becomes of our sacred sched-
ules' if their elasticity can be
stretched so?-Wall Street Journal.
The answer is obvious. The
schedules are knocked out, of course.
When the foreign exporter is permit
ted to consign goods to his American
clerk at export value the American
producer can never be certain what
his tariff protection is going to be, or
whether he has any tariff protection
at all. The only certain thing is that
the domestic wage payer and wage

CHAPTER XII.
Treachery.

Treachery.
Three hours later DR.. Starva and
myself were on the little steamboat en-
route for Vitznau, journey of an
hour. l had met him at the quay; he
was alone. Madame de WARMER, he
coolly informed me, had taken an
earlier boat. l was not to see her I'M
til next morning.
Frankly, | scarcely liked that. /
could have wished for more con-
genial companion. However, l was
embarked on an adventure; and must
take things as they came. 1t was to
be a game of give and take | was de-
liberately permitting myself to be their
tool for the moment; | was to serve
their purpose. My wages for the serv-
ice were to be the opportunity of find
ing Sir Mortimer Brett. Until | had
penetrated the mystery of his disap-
pearance | would. be as clay in their
hands. Perhaps it might be necessary
to be their partner for the nonce in
their intrigues. They might wonder
they should not question it, That was
the delicate task l must bend myself
TO for the present.
We had seated ourselves well for
ward and were quite alone, for at this
late hour the boat carried few pas
sengers. The wind coming from the
snow-clad peaks was piercing. l shiv-
cred, but rather from excitement than
from the chilly air. Already the lights
of Vitznau could be seen dimly through
the thick mists.
DIR. Starva, rolling a huge cigar in
the corner of his loose, sensual mouth,
regarded me fixedly under shaggy eye
.brows.
ct is cold. We must have some
cognac.' Without asking for my as
sent he summoned a waiter.
Even in so trivial matter as the
appropriateness of refreshments his
tone was more command than an in
vitation. The cagnac would be well
come enough, but one less observing
than myself might have noticed the
alacrity with which he welcomed the
excuse for the liquor.
DO you know what it is to have a
headache?" he asked, and fumbing
,clumsily in his waistcoat pocket. he
produced tiny packet.
NO." l said, yawning, and watching
him idly.
"Ah, you are fortunate. This little
powder is a great benefactor to me.
We are close to Vitznau. Through
the trees there yau can get a glimpse
OF the hotel we are to stop at"
He pointed at a building a quarter
of a mile distant from the landing
stage we were fast approaching, hold
ing in mid-air the packet of powder
preparatory to placing it on his
tongue.
i looked where he pointed; there
was not much to see; the mist en-
veloped everything. The boy APP

Conoress Not ConsuIted.

So far as it goes, it is full-fledged
reciprocity. Germany admits agricul
tural products and certain chemicals
and machinery at less than her maxi.
mum rates; in return the president
dares to raise his reckless hand against
the thrice-sacred Dingley schedules
and let in at cut rates certain products
of the "pauper labor" of "effete" Ger.
many.-N Y. Evening World.
1t is fuller-hedged reciprocity than
any which has ever been submitted to
congress for its approval. for it pro.
poses to admit at cut prices not GER

gress was not consulted. Congress

The One Important Fact.

The fact of more Importance than
all others in connection with tariff dis.
cussions and Industrial subjects, SO
far as this country is concerned is
that 95 per cet Nj. of all the goods made
in American mills and factories and
produced on American farms is sold
direct to home consumers. 1t is this
splendid home market which deserves
first and most consideration in all dis.
cussions in any way related to it. Only
five per cent. of the products Of our
country is sold to consumers else.

will prevent repetition of some absurd
statements which have been made and
some even more absurd movements
which have in recent years been at.
