CHAPTER VI.

DR.. Paul Mason found opportunity to
whisper in Charles Van Lith's ear. as he
was led away:
DO not despair. l will leave no stone
unturned to establish your innocence"
Then, as he wrung his hand, he added,
"Oh, IL you would but speak,"
Van Lith said nothing in reply. He
was so overcome with the horror of his
situation that he could barely stammer
out his thanks for the Doctors kindness.
Overwhelmed by the magnitude of the
misfortune which had overtaken him, he
suffered himself to be conducted unresist-
lngly to that sombre vehicle in which,
closely barred and huddled together like
sheep, prisoners are carried to the dark
and gloomy cells of La Mazas. Paul Ma
son Immediately took a cab to the Rue de
heverdy, where he ate, though sparingly,
OF the breakfast which his housekeeper,
Louise, had long ago prepared against his
coming.

The old servant started violently. She

about to pour fresh cup of coffee for the

II that was not trouble enough in one
day, my friend Monsieur Charles Van

commission of the crime"
At this additional intelligence the old
woman's eyes nearly started out of her
head.
Monsieur Charles How can he be
guilty of such a thing? He, so gay, SO
cheerful. so polite to everybody l will
never believe It."
He was in the chateau last night, and
positively refuses to tell even me how he
came to be there. But there is a report
Of the whole affair in the morning paper.
You can read it for yourself"
The old lady put on her glasses, and
simply devoured the paper which the s6c-
tor handed her. Suddenly she exclaim-
ed:
Monsieur Van Lith's silence has some
thing to do with one of the young ladies,
you may depend upon it,"
Louise pointed to certain paragraph

its way thus early into print:

exclaimed the judge, with a meaning
glance at the official. How long time
elapsed between the breaking of your
pencil and the report of the pistol?"
About five minutes. l should say.
Probably longer. 1t might have been

the judge, 81 think sufficiently explains

THAT will do, Monsieur Chabot, you

man, considerably relieved, bowed and
retired.
The servants were then called, and they
swore positively that none of them had
admitted Van Lith into the chateau, and
had no knowledge of his being there until
they saw him in Nine. RoupelPs cham

when all had retired.

Bertrand. He may be a fool; but he
doesn't look like murderer"
But Victor Lablanche still adhered OBJ

would bear watching. Slipping from the
room he instructed one of his most relia-

Another thing the project was dissatis-

sicians that the Miles. Weldon were pros

had not been summoned before the tri-
bunal-though later they would probably
be called upon to testify. The project
considered this as ill-timed leniency, but
there was no help for it. The certificate
of so famous a physician as DIR. Paul
Mason had its weight with the judge of
instruction.

Zee of the Indiana Independence
League, Jan. 10, letter from Mr..
Hearst was read in which he said:
Il send you my conceptions of the
plans and principles upon which the
independence League should be or
ganized in the different states
throughout the nation. IL seems to
me that the new party movement
should not be third party move
ment for long. / mean by that that
II 1t is properly directed 1t will soon
supplant one of the old parties and
become a second party movement,
and even become the dominant party

government by injunction is a sug-
gestion for trial by jury In con-
tempt cases." there is a proposal for
national Incorporation, and no word
against swollen fortunes. nor is there
a request for an income tax or an In
heritance tax.
Such is Mr.. Hearst's third-party
program. He plans to put up can
didates in the close districts for the
presidency, hoping to defeat the
nominees who stand for the initia-
tive, and who, II elected, will Inn
mediatly install the advisory initia-
tive and thereby open the way for
direct voting by the people on state
and national issues.
Mr.. Hearst Is hypocritical in his
political action, because he poses as
the advocate of a principal for per-
sonal advancement and does not
stand on the higher ground of right
He poses as the friend OF the peo-
pie, yet he is opposed to the initia-
tive and referendum and other politi-
cal reforms In keeping with advanced
ideas Of government. He would de-
feat these reforms for personal gain
and expects to build up pluto
cratic party with himself at its head
For that purpose he will open his
barrel and there will be no lack of
funds to carry on a campaign.

PITH AND POINT.

There are so many things you can
do without and want.
We sometimes tell others by our
actions the very things we do not
wish them to know.
Being hypocrite is bad enough, but
1t does not make as many people I'M
comfortable as brutal frankness does.
Much as children admire their par
ents, at the bottom of their hearts
they think when they are grown they
will be great improvements on them.
How easy to wish for a million dol
lars to give to your friends Why
not give them what you have? You
could be polite and kind to them with
out much trouble.-Atchison Globe.

SCALP WOUNDS.
Various Results That May Come With
a Bump on the Head.

Various Results That May Come With
a Bump on the Head.
A bump on the head is one of the
which covers the Uranium is tough
and is protected by the hair of the
scalp, so 1t is comparatively rare that
the blow results In anything more Sc
rious than q bruise This is fortu-
nate, for an open wound Of the scalp
is rather difficult affair to manage
at times, and its complications and
sequels are likely occasionally to give
more or less trouble.
A severe bruise, such as may be
caused by striking the head with con-
siderable force against a blunt pro-
lection, say the rounded edge of ta-
Bile, usually results in more or less bog
gy swelling, due to the effusion Of
serum or blood under the scalp. Or
dinarily this gives no trouble, except
that it may be quite tender for few
days. The effused serum or blood is
sooner or later absorbed, and the bump
becomes a thing of the past.
In some cases the fluid becomes full
of pus owing to the Inflammation Of
the bruised tissues. This kind of a
wound must be opened and the mat
ter washed out, otherwise 1t may bur-
row quite n distance along the skull
and possibly result in the destruction
of some of the bone
An ordinary bruise of the scalp does
not call for much attention. If the
swelling is considerable the scalp and
hair should be thoroughly washed, and
then lotion should be applied of boric
acid dissolved in cologne water or a
wash of witch hazel. If the hair is
very thin 1t had better be cut short
over the hruise, so that the lotion can
more readily reach the part If the sui
ferer is boy, but If girl the To-
ton will have to reach the spot as
best 1t can. The hair need not be
cut unless it is really case serious
enough to call for the offices of sur
geon.
When the scalp is cut or torn the
matter Ia more grave, both in its pres
ent state and its possible consequences,
and had better be left to the doctor
to treat. A blow hard enough to tear

force to crack the skull, and even If
the bone is intact-and the fracture

become infiamed and slough away,
leaving the bone denuded, so that it
may lose Its vitality and give rise to

will need washing and possibly few
stitches to bring the cut edges togeth-

Foreigners In Japan.

Recently the San Francisco Chronicle
called attention to the fact that the
incident of band of Chinese laborers
being driven out of Japan because they
worked cheaper than the natives had
failed to elicit comment from newspa-
per correspondents, who eagerly seize
upon like demonstrations against the
Japs in this country for sensational
purposes.
Much has been made of the small
grievances of Japan In the matter of
the race issues raised on the Pacific
coast, but II Is true that the other side
Of the question has been considered
specifically or not at all. Very re-
Gently through the influence of Japa-
nese In China English crews were
driven from many of the rivers OF
that country, possibly in retaliation
for the exclusion of Japanese laborers
at Vancouver. In Japan itself all for
eigners are heavily handicapped when
they try to do business or in any way
make themselves at home.
Foreigners in Japan cannot send
their children to Japanese schools, but
they must pay double taxes for the
support of the schools, and war taxes
and duties are also levied upon them.
Foreigners cannot enter any port of
Japan except the regular open ports
and cannot own real property nor Gu
Joy mining rights In their own names.
Up to date the Japanese who have
come to this country have enjoyed
greater privileges than the mikado's
government allows to Americans who
locate in Japan. Perhaps the Japanese
foreign office Is aware of the weak
ness Of its position should 1t attempt
to make an official protest against dis
ordinations alleged TO have been
made against the mikado's subjects
