a fear that MT. Barnet might steal away during the night. He stealthily crept into the hallway several times only to be treasured by the resonant evidence of sound slumber emanat- ing from his guests room.
 In the morning MT. Barnet inquired interestedly if his friend had brought the money to the skipper and to a negative reply said coolly: My friend hasn't read the marine noos yet. Ell be here."
 After breakfast the skipper took MT. Barnet into the parlor where he proposed holding him a hostage until the money was forthcoming. To pass the time he glanced over one of the newspapers and found this item:
 ''The capture of John Boggs, the robber of MT. Oberly's jewelry store at Plymouth, was clever piece of po- the prisoner and he was remanded for trial"
 A cold chill ran through Capt Hardy's frame and he thrust the pa- per under MT Barnets nose, point ing to the item.
 MT. Barnet read it attentively.
 "Ah," he said coolly, caught him, did they? Too bad. Friend of yours?"
 You said" hissed the skipper, be- tween his clenched teeth, that the law was after you"
 q didn't" retorted MT. Barnet, in dignantly. q told you me and a friend was doin' something the law didn't allow We was a-sleepin' regu- lar in the sheds on the docks, and dock law don't allow that We'd a been jolly well kicked if we'd been caught"
 Capt. Hardy, paralyzed with rage, sat motionless while Mr. Barnet put on his hat and walked out of the door. When the skipper did rush out his late passenger was not to be picked out amid the throng one en. counters on a Southwark street about nine o'clock in the morning.

NO MORE HEN DEADHEADS.
Farmer Profits by 25 Per Cent. with
 Modern Methods.

The modern farmers cigarette glowed in the obscurity of the labora- tory, the electrical machinery crack led, the hens tied on the table squawked laconically.
 What are you up to now?" the visit or inquired.
 q am just increasing my poultry farms profits by 25 per cent" the farmer explained. He looked up from the machine, united hen and handed it to the assistant. She's a dead head" he said. And the assistant tied to the birds leg tag marked Sell"
 This is an X-ray apparatus" the farmer explained. My poultry farm of 10000 hens has heretofore con- tained a large percentage of non-lay- ing birds, deadbeats. These birds, be- fore their barrenness is discovered, consume hundreds of dollars worth of food. Now I apply the X-ray to a young hen as soon as she reaches ma turity and if the machine shows her inwards to be of the non-paying sort of she goes to the Plaza or the St. Regis as a spring broiler Thus, thanks to my up-to-date methods, in- stead of losing I gain on the afore- time deadhead hen"

A great many people imagine they have heart trouble when the fact is that the whole trou- ble lies in the stomach. The pains in the side around the re- zion of the heart are not neces- sarily heart trouble. We sug gest that you start with the stomach and whenever you feel a depression after eating or whenever your food seems to nauseate take Kodol. It will not be very long until all these ''heart pains will disappear. Take Kodol now and until you know you are right again. There ism t any doubt about what it it will do and you will find the truth of this statement verified after you have used Kodol for a few weeks.

asked the seedy man.
 Capt. Hardy stirred his gin and wa ter and did not at once reply.
 He had been approached by the man that afternoon in the public, a cheap place of doubtful responsibility near the Plymouth docks. After a few remarks the man, with an air of mystery and with many bookings about for possible eavesdroppers, had offered ten pounds for a passage to London on the captains schooner which was to sail early in the morn ing. Finding that the shippers inter- est was not whetted by the discovery that the money would not be paid un- til London was reached the man be- came more confidential
 He and companion had been en- gagged in an enterprise not entirely approved of by the law. His con- panion had made good his escape to London, but, for obvious reasons, he did not deem it safe to travel by the usual routes to the metropolis. Hence his offer to the skipper. The money would be forthcoming as soon as the vessel arrived at London.
 ''Ave you made up your mind?" re- peated the man.
 t'No," replied the skipper, q 'aven't"
 Then" retorted his acquaintance, 'urry or it'll be too late"
 Now the skipper had read in the newspaper that two nights previous jewelry store in Plymouth had been robbed and he, not unnaturally, in ferred that this was the enterprise al luded to by the man. The paper stated that the robbers had not been apprehended and what was more like ly than that a reward would be of fered for their capture. He would have two strings to his bow. If the reward exceeded the offer of passage money he could turn the man over to the authorities and claim it; if not, the man would be in his power until the ten pounds was paid. It looked sure thing to the skipper.
 Twenty pun," said Capt. Hardy, coldly, ''is the price of passage to London on the Day Dream"
 And well wuth it." assented the
 
 day and 'alf on that there splendid vessel, but my Plimsoll mark is at ten pun and I cant go no 'igher."
 "'Ow do I know you'll pay the mon- ey?" asked the skipper.
 You are hinnocent," retorted the man, isn't it plain that when a gen. tleman travels in this quiet way he don't want the attention of the Dublic to say nothing of hoffcers called to im?"
 "The money'll be paid as soon as you get to London?"
 Or" replied the man, shaking his head you'll know wot to do."
 ''We'H go aboard tonight" an nounced Capt. Hardy, with decision, T sail at daybreak."
 You'd better introduce me as an old friend, MT. Barnet" suggested the passenger as they reached the schooner.
 The mate eyed the newcomer as he entered the cabin.
 "An old friend of mine, George ,' said the skipper. MT Barnet Els going to London with us.''
 ''Ay, ay,' responded the mate.
 A bosom friend of hisn," added MT Barnet. We've known each other since we were boys"
 T could tell you was bosom friend of the shippers a mile hoff," replied the mate. grinning.

Bring II nOut, JACK ArQy, cried Mir Barnet, when old friends meet bring hout your best. That's my mot ter"
 "Why do you call i'm Jack when Is names Peter?" inquired the mate.
 "Allers called i'm Jack" replied MT. Barnet "'E dotes on it."
 With a rueful face Capt. Hardy pro- duced his private bottle which the mate aided MT. Barnet in emptying, unmindful of the pained expression on the shippers face.
 During the voyage to London MT Barnet ceased eating and drinking only when he slept, and carried such devastation among the eatables and drinkables on the schooner that Capt. Hardy spread every sail to the wind to expedite the passage.
 "If the rewards only nine pun,' said the exasperated skipper to him. self, as he watched his passengers prowess at the supper table, ''1'i1 take you to Scotland Yard, my fine fellow"
 When the Day Dream was creeping up the Thames, Capt. Hardy asked MT. bdTH6l uOW anu WuOu u0 pTO- posed paying his passage money.
 "As we walked down to the schoon- CT at Plymouth" replied that gentle man, q send a card to my friend in Lunnon that I was comin' on your boat and as soon as e reads 'es got n 'eIl bring down the blunt. I'll stay on the schooner till e comes"
 But" said the skipper, I'm going 'ome"
 MT. Barnet grasped his hand.
 "The very thing" he cried, "Pll go with you. None of the briny deep for me when there's four walls and roof on solid ground" Then he turned to the mate. If man, red-nosed man, comes aboard with ten pun for he skipper and askin' for his friend MT. Barnet send i'm to the skipper
 --cc --;l 4'a+ thoro rod nOc don't come from drink. Is father lad one and e was so set agin spirits e wouldn't walk on the same side of street as a public was on."
 All right" assented the mate, grin. ming, I'll send i'm if e comes."
 The skipper unused. He didn't want the man at his house and he dared not lose sight of him until either the money had been paid or he had found out about the reward.
 Your 'usbands old friend, Mrs. 'Ardy," said MT. Barnet, supplement- ing the shippers introduction, Inf l may say it, his oldest and best friend"
 Queer he never spoke of you" said Mrs. Hardy, shaking hands.
 T was in the United States running a passenger boat" explained MT. Bar net, he only writ me once, the dog, to say he'd married the prettiest girl in Lunnon."
 Mrs. Hardy beamed on him.
 What would you like for supper" she said, sweetly.
 'Wotever Mrs. 'Ardy gets ready Il suit my pallit," replied the gallant MT. Barnet.
 Capt. Hardy, who had indulged in the unwonted extravaganza of buy ing two London and one Plymouth newspaper and was eagerly search ing the columns for an advertisement of reward for jewelry store rob- Der, looked warningly, but unavailing, at his wife. The supper did not ac- cord at all with Capt. Hardy's ideas of domestic economy.
 After the meal, to which MT. Bar net did ample justice, he discoursed of his American experience. He had, he said. commanded a messenger boat

fects of light pressure a solution is
presented.
How difficult it is to account for such
delicate streamers as the 'promnences"
on the sun is better comprehended when
we fully understand how relentlessly
powerful is the grip Of solar gravita-
ton. If the sun were a habitable globe
and you could transport yourself to its
surface, you would find yourself pulled
down so forcibly by gravitation that
you would weigh two tons, assuming
that you are an ordinary human being.
Your clothing alone would weigh more
than one hundred pounds. Baseball
could be played in a solar drawing
room, for there would be some difficulty
in throwing ball more than thirty
feet. Tennis would be degraded to
form of outdoor ping-pong. From these
considerations it is plain that gravita-
ton on the sun would tend to prevent
the formation Of any lambert stream
ers and to pull down to it's surface
masses Of any size.

APPARENT CONTRADICTION.

bright COIOring, Bold Patterns, Make
Wild Things IncOnspicuOus.
Whence came that old erroneous as
sumption that bright-colored creatures
and those with bold, sharp patterns, are
of course conspicuous in their homes?
Did people judge the outdoor world by
cOlorless collecting boxes, or the plas-
tered walls of a museum? The real
outdoor world is a bOundless varied
pageant of ever-shifting lights and
forms and cOlorS, cut up into innumer-
able holder or DINNER patterns of all
kinds and sizes, dancing and altering
in endless kaleidoscope show with the
play of wind and sun and clouds. says a
writer in the Century Magazine This
vivid changefulness Of scenery has, like
everything else, it's maximum and min
imum, and, as we have seen in cOnnec-
ton with tropical forests, the extremes
are in this case rather wide apart But
we are to consider it as a general prin-
ciple, with special regard to its maxi
mum development. Against one of
these brilliantly and infinitely patchy
backgrounds how ought an animal be
cOlOred and marked in order to be as
inconspicuous as possible? Plainly and
duly, as naturalists have said? By no
means; brightly and patchily, to the
highest possible degree. The boldeE
brighter and more arbitrary such
creatures patterns are the more they
will cut up his own peculiar and char
acteristic form and dissolve him into
his background, as it were. Conversely
the only cOloratiOn which could make
such an animal conspicuous is dul.
monochrome, without counter-shading
or pattern. This would make his solid
form apparent by its light and shade,
or his peculiar outline by it's unbroken.
dingy color. Monochrome alone makes
a solid object intrinsically conspicuous
against normal landscape. Patterns,
contrary to the common opinion, have
an intrinsic power to destroy the con
spicuouSneSs of the object on which
they are placed. The stronger the pat
tern appears the DINNER appear the
forms and outlines of its wearer.

A HUMORIST IN THE BUD.


A teacher in a New York public
school where the pupils are mostly for
eigners never took much notice Of the
boy until she discovered that there was
a lot Of fun hidden behind his quiet,
,demure face. What happened then she
tells in the Sun:
In the English work 1 often give my
pupils half of a story, and ask them to
finish it in their own way. did that
yesterday.
l told them about little girl named
Elizabeth, who started out one morn
ing with the resolve that she was going
to be as good all day long as If 1t were
Sunday. Her Sunday school teacher
had told her that little girls should be-
have as if every day were Sunday, not
put on their kind and polite manners
only when they put on their Sunday
dresses. So when Elizabeth put on her
school dress, she resolved that she was
going to be very good all day.
She had not gone very far-only to
the first corner-when she saw another
little girl standing there, crying.
That is where left the story for
them to finish. They were to tell what
Elizabeth did. This Is the way the
most serious boy in school completed
the plot:
elizabeth saw the little girl crying,
80 she went up to her and asked her
what was the matter.
al had two quarters sobbed the lit
tie girl, and big boy took one of them
away'
"'Oh, that is too bad!' said Elizabeth.
What did you do?'
"'Oh, l cried, Help! Help" just
like that said the little girl.
"Why, is that all the loud you called
it?' exclaimed Elizabeth.
"Yes,' replied the little girl. L have
a bad cold, and can't call any louder
than that

away from her,"
