CHAPTER TX.

What with the refreshing quiet
of the room in which she found her
self after the hideous nightmare of
turmoil and trouble through which
she had just passed, Gertrude rapidly
revived. Her new protector only
waited, however, till he saw that she
was able to take care Of herself again.
and then he left her.
He had train to catch himself,
and had waited till the last moment
on her account. And surely it was a
heart of gold that thus befriended
an unknown girl, because he had, for
sooth, daughter OF his own at home
about her agel Gertrude had not the
slightest recollection of his face.
She would not have known him
again had she met him anywhere.
She would not even have recognized
his voice Yet she remembered him
always gratefully, but always with Il
pang.
In her preoccupation she feared that
she had let him go without word of
thanks. She never knew, and she
could only hope that if she had, he,
in his haste, would not notice the
omission; but still, when she remem-
bered the incident, the dread was a
soarce Of discomfort to her as long as
she lived.
1t was not at the moment, how
ever, that this fear began to trouble
her. Just then she could think Of
nothing but her one object, and how
to accomplish it; feel nothing but the
bitter disappointment caused by hav-
ing missed the train
The thought OF having been so
near to him without even seeing him

FRoLIcs or YOUNG BEARs.

Colonel J. H. Calef, U. S. A., tells
of an exhibition of humor in half
grown black bear belonging to men
agerie, says the New York Times
Had he not been an eyewitness to
the amusing act he admits that he
would have been very incredulous as
to the probability of it. Here is his
story.
When the afternoon performance
was over I strolled to the further end
of the building to see again very
large timber wolf which was penned
behind high iron railing with two
half-grown bears and Great Dane
dog as companion-sort of happy
family.
THE wolf was lying asleep on his
side, with legs oatstretched.
THE bears were in high spirits,
frolicking like two children. They
would climb up, one on each side Of
ladders inclined to each other, and

The Licorice Plant.

The licorice plant resembles a rose
with a single green stem, reaches a
height of about three feet and bears
a small purple star-shaped flower.
The first years root growth resem-
bles a loosely twisted string of tow
and may run to twenty feet in length.
The second year 1t assumes woody
substance when dry, and the third
year it acquires its commercial value.
The time for digging the root is the
winter, when it is dried and crushed
under heavy stones drawn round on
T. by mules, much as olives are
ushed to extract their OIL

ALL QUESTIONS ANSWERED.


In bookstore in Georgia stands a
glass tank filled with water, in which
there is single goldfish. Hanging
on the outside Of the tank is a plac-

swers to questions which the propri-
etor of the shop had got tired of re-
plying to by word of mouth:
This is goldfish.
1t is alive.
There is only one in it,
We got it from a boy.
We do not know where the boy
got it.
1t has never died

1t eats what we give it.
That is water it is in.
We get the water out of a we'll.
We do not know how old it is
We have had it ever since we got
it.
We have had more, but have not
got them now.
If it sleeps we do not know it.
We change the water as often as
we want to.
We do not know how long it will
live.
We do not miss the water it
drinks.
We do not know how large it will
grow.

carbonic Acid and Air.

The amount of carbonic acid in the
atmosphere is from three to four
parts by bulk in 10000 parts OF air,
A fairly well ventilated room Will
contain six parts in the like quantity
of air. But all rooms are not yentil-
ated alike, hence the amount Of car
bonic acid in their atmospheres varies
from the figure given above to much
larger one.

BAKING DREAD ANp ROLLS.


Bread to be baked in Individual
portions requires hotter oven than
full-sized loaves. The general direc-
tons are the same for both bread
and biscuit. Divide the time of bak-
ing into quarters; in the first quar-
ter the dough should spring, or grow
light, little, and should color in
spots and cease to rise. BY the end
of the second quarter the bread
should be of delicate brown; DUR
ing the next quarter the baking is
practically finished; the heat should
be lowered during the last quarter.
Loaves of bread of the size indicated
should bake in about one hour, bis
cults and rolls in about half an hour.

Mr.. Harrison was graduated from
Yale University number three in a

rank at the New York Law School
and was in consequence appointed in

Daily News Special.
Washington, June 16.-The fact that
President Roosevelt, in pursuance Of
debating everything without mercy to
any opposition, has determined that
George Bruce Cortelyou, of New York,
shall be the running-mate of Secretary
Taft, and the fact that William J..
Bryan whose nomination Is generally
conceded has refrained scrupulously
in spite of reports to the contrary,
from even suggesting who ought to
have the second place of the Demo-
cratic Ticket, has greatly stimulated
the friends of Congressman FRAMES
Burton Harrison to continue their eff
forts to direct attention of Democrats
everywhere to the high worthiness of
their favorite and his availability as
a distinguished son of New York,
strong and popular with all factions in
the Empire State.
Just before the adjournment of Con-
gress, when the majority of Democratic
congressman became convinced that
Mr.. Bryan's nomination was a fore
gone conclusion, the party workers in
the House began to canvass the import

though one of the youngest Democrats

Burton Harrison is a worthy son of.
noble sires and gentle danes on both
sides of his house. AS member of
Congress and as a member of i'm
portant committees, he has shown a
notable disposition to forget that he is
the rich man he is and that he need
not work either for maintenance or
distinction. 1t is so rare to find a rich
man, especially young as Mr.. Harrison
is, full of the vitality and capacity for
enjoying the good things and all the
luxuries of life that might be his, who
is willing to work and thinks God made
him for something more than merely to
fill an ornamental niche or to adorn a
banquet board, that when one like Har-
rison presents himself for assignment
to duty and performs that duty cheer
fully and proficently, he ought by all
means to be honored even more,
think, than many whom adversities
have pushed to develop inherent
strength of character they possessed.
Such man as Francis Burton Harri-
son is bound to deserve and achieve
eminent distinction
