Walk 245O Miles
BIGGEST WEST TO EAST WALK
EVER ACCOMPLISHED.
Win Fifteen Hundred Dollars.

Over mountains and through snow,
through wet, slush and mud, freezing
at times, and oppressed by heat at
others, William Jackson and R. T. HAY,
two sturdy Scotchmen, walked every
mile of the way from Seattle to Chi
cago, just arriving within a few hours
Of the time limit, thereby winning a
purse of Fifteen Hundred Dollars given
by the Seattle Athletic Club, for ac
complishing this feat within the pre-
scribed time.
Jackson and Hay left Seattle with
but Five Dollars in money, were
obliged to earn their way as they
went and leave no unpaid bills, and
complete the journey in ninety days.
An interesting incident in coQnec-
.tion with the walk, was that each of
the contestants wore a pair of the
,well-known Mayer shoes, that neither
ripped nor lost a stitch during the en-
tire trip of 2450 miles-the hardest test
any shoes could be put tO-speaking

DR.. TALKS OF FOOD
Pres. of Board of Health.

"What shall I eat?" is the daily in.
qniry the physician is met with. I dc
not hesitate to say that in my judg'
'ment large percentage of disease is
caused by poorly selected and improp-
erly prepared food. My personal expe-
rience with the fully-cooked food,
known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speak freely of it's merits.
From overwork, I suffered several
years with malnutrition, palpitation of
the heart and loss of sleep. Last sum-
mer I was led to experiment person
ally with the new food, which I used
In conjunction with good rich cows
milk. In short time after I COM
menced its use, the disagreeable symp-
toms disappeared, my hearts action
became steady and normal, the func-
tons of the stomach were properly
carried out and l again slept as sound
ly and as we'll as in my youth.
Il look upon Grape-Nuts as a per-
feet food, and no one can gainsay but
that it has a most prominent place in
a rational, scientific system of feed
ing. Any one who uses this food will
soon be convinced of the soundness of

featured and may thereby know the
facts as to it's true worth" Read "The

she pleaded.
Il can't tell you, Mary" said Chris
label, and desiring to change the sub
ject she asked, How is Sir John to-
night?'
The ever-ready tears came yelling
up into Marys weak eyes, and mum
bling something about her father she
turned to go away. But Christabel
had seen her tears, and suddenly feel
ing that here was poor suffering
soul whose state was worse even than
her own went up to her with open
arms and folded her in a loving en-
brace. From that moment Mary Sis
terson resolved to unburden herself
to Christabel. Maxwell had selected
a sorry instrument-so he would have
thought if he had seen her then-to
carry out his instructions.
"Christabel," said Mary, 81 am sor
ry for you, but oh, I am so unhappy
myself! You asked about father.
Do you know, dear, | sometimes feel
that what he says about the stolen
secret and the murder of his partner
is true-the truth itself"
Thus Mary began her confidence,
making a half-confession, not daring
to say outright that she knew. But as
she spoke she was conscious of a sud-
den stiffening of ChristabePs figure,
of a partial withdrawal from her, and
this was more than she could bear.
ooh, Christabel, don't draw yourself
away from mel" she said, imploringly.
Il do need your sympathy SO much. If
you knew everything you would pity
me-"
Christabel shivered when Mary
spoke the words, eff you knew every
thing"
What is it, Christabel?" asked
Mary, feeling that shiver. Something
has happened. You are different.
What is it? Is it anything that con-
Germs us-that concerns father? Why
do you not say something's
But Christabel was silent.
81 cannot bear it! l cannot bear it,
said Mary, wildly. Let me tell you
everything, Christabel."
perhaps you had better think we'll
first, Mary" said Christabel. ut may
be something I should not hear"
81 must tell YOU" cried Mary, and
with tears and sobs and low cries she
told Christabel how Maxwell had
found out that Sir John was suffering
from no delusion, but was speaking
the truth when in effect he accused
himself of stealing the secret of the
manufa cture of the cement. "And the
rest-the murder Of his partner-ls
more than likely true, too" she added,
and broke down altogether, burying
her streaming face on Christabeps
shoulder, while Christabel hushed and
soothed her as if she had been
frightened child. After time Mary
grew calmer.

CHAPTER XII.
Condolences.

Mary nodded in a constrained man
ner when Maxwell told her that he
had arranged that Cross should take
months holiday; she knew this was
as much as saying that before Cross
had returned to the works Maxwell
believed that Sir John would have
tpassed away. She was thinking more,
however. of what Maxwell had said
regarding Christabel and Norman
Forde: her mind was not keen and
suspicious like his, but moved slowly
and uncertainty.
Are you not jumping to conclusions
that may be quite wrong respecting
Nurse Joyce and Mr.. Forde?" she ask
ed. in a hesitating tone, which irri-
tated Maxwell intensely. THE mere
fact that you saw them together with
her brother and another lady may not
concern us in the least"
so much the better if that be the
case; but think, Mary. You are some
times Just a trifle dense" said Max
well. with a gesture of Impotence. Il
know what | felt on seeing her and
Forde sitting side by side; it gave me
quite a turn, and l am not easily af-
fected."
That's true, at any rate" murmur-
ed Mary.

Maxwell, not needing what she had
said, that her brother was in partner
ship with Forde, for there was the
possibility Of her knowing Forde
through her brother; still Lots of men
have partners in the city who do not
know each others people, or know
them only very slightly, and the idea
did not really trouble me very much.
But this is different. Just think it
out"
He paused slightly, with his eyes
fastened on her.
''When father makes these fearful
statements of his he never refers to
the person with whom he imagines he
is speakeing by any other name than
Tom" Maxwell resumed. There
was a certain amount of safety for us

MOHAlR PLUSH MADE HERE.
A Result of the Success of the INDUS

try of Raising Angora Goats.
An investigation by the bureau or
manufactures of the department OF
commerce and labor shows that in the
last few years the manufacture OF
mohair plush, which until recently
was not sufficiently large in this coun-
trv to be reckoned among the indus
tries. has greatly increased, largely on
account of the successful breeding
here of Angora goats, which supply
the hair for the manufacture OF mo-
hair plush.
During the years between 1901 and
1905 the manufacture of plush grew
much more rapidly than the produc-
ton of goat hair and for that reason
the importation of mohair increased
from 739,419 pounds to 2,625O0O
mounds but in the last two years there
has been a supply of Angora halr
which came nearer to supplying the
demand.

VALUE OF DIFFERENT KINDS
OF GREEN FORAGE FOR HOGS
with Six Lots of Hogs-By III. j.
Director, Agricultural College.

Perhaps the largest single waste oc-
curing at the present time is that
which comes from the too exclusive
use of corn in growing and fattening
hogs. The cheapest and most easily
applied remedy is more general use
of the proper forage plants in sum-
mer and the use of some home grown
protein in winter. 1t is not of course
to be denied that the hog is primarily
a grain consuming animal, at the same
time forage plays an important role
in economical hog production and de-
serves far more attention than it has
yet received. To secure accurate in
formation on this point, the Missouri
station undertook some time ago to

Cure for Headache.

"The best cure | know of for head
ache is to wash your face" said a
bright looking man. Eyes, 1 believe
to suddenly cleanse your face with
cold water will open up the pores and
probably start the blood in circulation,
and I know it will relieve you of a
headache in a jiffy. I have tried it
myself great many times and have
always been successful There is
something in the nature of a stimu-
liant in the cold water treatment that
braces me right up. My head when it
aches gets hot and throbs, and the
water makes it cool and fresh: l have
a theory, too, that people don't wash
their faces nearly enough anyhow, in
these days of dusty asphalt streets
and soft coal smoke"
