to put him far beyound want"

His face was rudy and his little grey
eyes sparkled with suppressed ire. He
reminded me of Vautrin, the only diff

His massive shoulders betrayed ire

You are a nice specimen for a chief

And who the devil are you?"
bawled the chief, his choler rising.

We all eyed him in wonder. What
was going to happen now?

gems are the most important things

YES, sir. You can rely upon us,
Mr.. Haggerty. Billy, go down with

nights work. I'll see that all get
some credit. Permit no one to ap'

authority"
Your orders shall be obeyed to the

already saw his name figuring in the
New York papers as having assisted
in the capture Of great thief.
Haggerty departed. A silence set
tied gloomily down on us. Quarter of
an hour passed. The grim-visaged po-
lice watched us vigilantly. Half an
hour, three-quarters, an hour. Far
away we heard the whistle OF an out
going train Would had been OMIT!
From time to time we heard faint
music. At length there was noise
outside the door, and monument later
Hamilton and two others came in.

lessly. What the devil does this

breathe.

with sudden misgivings. --

ruptod Hamilton. Il know this gentle

sertation on why he is going there.
Having performed his duties there
the secretary is at liberty to return to
his home and take his flying (figura-
tive, of course) trip to the north and
west to make those speeches to the
collegians.
Then he will be off on trip to the
Philippines, those far-off, dark, choco-
late-colored islands where he left his
heart. If there is one thing above all
others that Taft desires it Is to see
those islands formed into a strong
autonomous government. September
Is will be celebrated in the islands.
That will be Taft's birthday. To the
islanders it will be about the same as
February 20 Is to continental Ameri-
ans. Taft will be there to advise and
comfort the little brown brothers that
appear to be getting a degree of civil
ization that is not injected with a
Krag.
Taft, therefore, for one who is said
to have presidential aspirations, will
have about as much opportunity for
looking after his political prospects as
a Patagonian has of plating the next
transit of Venus-if the lady has q

There are those in Washington who
assert that they cannot comprehend
how the president can afford to enter
tain as he does. They believe he is
living up to every cent of his salary,
and may go beyond it. II the British
ambassador cannot make ends meet
with s42,50 year, and another 10,t 90
added for emergencies. what can the
president accomplish with less? The
British ambassador can curtail his ex-
penses at will. Sir Mortimer Durand
was a thrifty individual, and he must
have put by goodly amount for a
rainy day. He never gave but one
large ball in his three years service
here, and his dinner parties could be
counted on the fingers of one hand
Now, the president of the United
States receives $4,000 year, the use
of the White House, the furnishing,
heating, lighting and decorating the
same on festive occasions. The 80
servants are paid by the public money,
except, of course, the maids. Wallets,
nurses, ETC., that the presidential fam
lily might need. The only dignified
procedure in Washington at present
is for those who cannot keep up the
pace, to retire gracefully.

BLOOD GETS SOUR.
Every Family Should Make Up Thia

At this time of year, says a welE.

weak, clogged and inactive, falling to-
filter out the poisCns and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions, but the worst
forms Of Rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary Affections.
1t is worth anyone's time now To
get from some good prescription plfar-

Extract Dandelion, one-half OUNCE;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Cora
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in bot
tie and take in teasp0onful doses after
your meals and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture VIII
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, so they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and eXpel this in the
urine, at the same time restoring the
"full blood count''-that is, 95 per cent
red blood orpuscles-which is abso-
lutely indispensable to perfect health.

the wife Of the bellringer went to ST

custom still observed in the burSb.
The bell had been tolled for less than
q minute, when, it is alleged, fig1Es
suddenly appeared at the woDans
side, snatched her hands from the
rope and as mysteriously disappeared
Another morning 20 trees which
a few years ago were planted In
front of the cathedral were found I'd
have been cut down. The night WAS
calm one, with brilliant moonlight,
and the trees, were standing at ere
o'clock in the morning.
Hundreds of windows have an opt-
look on the SPOT, and many people who
were still astir at three O'clock in
the morning did not hear the slightest
sound outside. Yet an hour later
every tree had been destroyed. The
police are baffled.
