The election Of Is Republicans and
Is Democrats, as seems probable
from the returns giving the makeup
of the various legislatures which
elect senator's, would show the
strength of the two leading parties In
the senate to be: Republicans, So;
Democrats, 49, doubtful. /.
One OF the surprises of the election
was the defeat in Iowa of Congress

zone bottle of Peruna which l have
taken did more toward relieving me of
an aggravated case of cafarrii of The
stomach, than years of treatment with
the best physicians.
II had given up hopes of relief, and
only tried Peruna as Il last resort.

Peruna is usually taken as n last re-
sort. Doctors have been tried and
failed. Other remedies have been used.
Sanitariums have been visited. Travel
has been resorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief is
found.
This history is repeated over and
over again, every day in the year 1t is
such results as this that gives Peruna
its uuassailable hold upon the people
We could say nothing that would ada

That people who have had catarrh and
have tried every other remedy avail
able, find relief in 'Peruna, constitutes
the best argument that could be made.

Darlington and her chum Deborah, an
American girl met Lord Strathgate at
away. He attempted to take her to his
castle, but she left him stunned in the
road when the carriage met with an ac-
cident. She and Debbie then struck out
for Portsmouth, where she intended to
sail for America. Hearing news of
lGllen's fight, Lords Darlington and Seton
set out in pursuit. Seton rented fast

Seton were also headed by different

CUSTOM OF ORIENTAL NATIONS
Salute by Kissing the Foot Is as Old
as History.

The custom of kissing the feet OF
persons whom it was desired to honor
originated with the ancients. The peo
pie of oriental nationals used to kiss
the hands and feet or hens of the
clothes of the persons they wished to
show respect for.
The ancient Egyptians got this Gus
tom from the Assyrians, and later the
Greeks adopted the habit from the
Egyptians. The Romans followed the
Greeks, and then Pontifex Maximus
had his great toe kissed by celebrities
The story will be remembered of the
old Briton ruler who appeared to do
homage to a Roman monk after the
conquest of Briton. He was told that
it was customary to kiss the foot of
the holy father. He hesitated for
moment and then, bending down,
he suddenly seized the monk by the
ankle and, jerking it up to his lips,
toppled the worthy father over back
ward
The toe of sthe sultan of Turkey is
kissed by subjects of high rank. Those
of more lowly position are merely
allowed to touch the fringe of his gar
ment to their lips, and the poorest
classes must be content to make a low
obeisance in his presence.-Illustrated

and Parkman in one moment, inter
venins between the two.
"Nevinson!" called out Parkman.
The surgeon came bounding for
ward.
"'Tis naught," cried Darlington,
waving them aside. "See!"
Only a flesh wound" said Nevin-
son, examining it quickly.
Back, gentlemen, you are giving

Strathgate; away, gentlemen!"
And once more the two men fell on
guard.
Why Ellen had not tainted at that
moment she could not tell. The world
swan before her vision, but by an ef-
fort she commanded herself The bat
tie was not over, and she must see
it until the end. She had confidence
yet. My lords wound was not a Sc
rious one and certainly now Strath-
gate had shot the bolt.
But no, Strathgate attacked as furi-
ously as ever, but this time my lords
tactics were different. AS if the sight
of his own blood had maddened him.
he was not content to parry, but he
himself assumed the offensive. Like
diamonds the points of the blades
sparkled in circles of light. The ring
of steel on steel and the grating as one
blade fell upon another blade was con-
tinuous. II was bewildering to Ellen be.
wildering to everyone except the two
men. Blythedale and Parkham stood
staring as if their eyes would be
strained from their heads. Their
breaths came shorter and shorter.

forward and stood gazing. Ellen and

been thrust through dozen times, un.
less his skill had nearly matched the
others or equalcd it.
The two men approached so close
ly that further fencing became i'm
possible. With a swift movement
Strathgate forced aside Carrington's s
sword and sprang back out of reach.
He dropped his sword for a moment
and stood painting slightly.
Darlington spoke now.
Has my lord exhausted his attack? ?"
he said softly.
Strathgate'S answer was a resump-
ton of his guard and another hard
and direct 1unge for his enemy's heart.
Darlington smiled as he parried. He
had been in some doubt as to his abil-
ity to sustain Strathgate's attack. He
was no stranger to the field of honor,
but he had never faced sword so i'm
bued with venomous life as that that
slivered along his blade this morning.
Yet he imagined that Strathgate had
done his best. He had shot his bolt.
He could do no better than he had
done, and there began to come into
Carrington's mind a sense of mastery.
Again he met Strathgate's furious at
tack. This time it seemed to Car
rington that the onslaught was less
rapid and less dangerous. Probably
this was a misapprehension and the
fact that Darlington parried the vi
n II 70, IC,
been due to q growing sense of famil-
iarity with Strathgate's method.
Btu Strathgate was not yet spent.
There were certain dangerous thrusts
he knew of, dangerous in that they
exposed the one who used them to a
counter-attack, and dangerous from
their unexpectedness to one against
whom they were made; consequently
Strathgate was usually doubtful about
employing them, but Darlington had
confined his attention simply to parry
ing, save the first thrust, and Strath-
gate, thinking rapidly, determined that
it would be safe to employ this un-
usual stroke. After a marvellous
burst of speed in which he seemed to
have regained all his power, he sud
denly dropped almost upon one knee,
leaving his body uncovered, and thrust
terrifcally upward.
If Darlington had been returning
stroke for stroke, that moment had
been Strathgates last AS it was, the
parry was rather slowly executed and
Strathgate's point got fairly home in
Carrington's side. 1t was not a thrust
through the body, nor was it a Craze.
1t was betwiXt the two.
Strathgate sprang violently back
ward as Darlington made an ineffec-
tive reply with his weapon.
The two faced each other once more.
Stop, gentlemen" cried Blythedale

life and of his desperate endeavors in
the commencement. of the attack Nils
breath came shorter, the sweat stood
thick upon his brow. Darlington grew
cooler after the first flush of passion
consequent upon his slight wound. His
strength grew greater. He pressed
Strathgate harder. But the earl was
not yet done. Nerving himself sum-
moning all his resolution to his aid,
in series of brilliant onslaughts he
sought to bring to sudden end an af-
fair for which, if it should be much
more prolonged, he knew his strength
would be unequal.
But Darlington met him with
wrist of steel and blade quicker than
the light itself. How it was done,
no one could see, but after series of
rapid thrusts and Heterogeneous, the
spectators saw Strathgate suddenly
throw up his arms. His blade fell
wavering to the ground Those who
stared saw two feet of bloody steel
thrusting out from his back. Caring
ton had seized an opportunity and had
lunged with such force and power and
directness that the quillons of the hilt
of his rapier had actually struck the
breast of Strathgate as he ran him
through the right shoulder over his
guard. The thrust just grazed the
lung Darlington strove to withdraw
his weapon, succeeded partially, when
Strathgate collapsed utterly and
crashed to the ground, swapping off
the projecting end of the blade behind
his back as he fell upon it.
He strove horribly for moment to
rise and then settled back biting his
lips to stifle a groan of agony. Car
rington stood over him with hand up
raised. Which had the whittier face
it would be hard to say.
Strathgate!" cried my lord, bend
ing over him.
"Carrington," murmured Strathgate
in his agony, fairly wrenching the
words from his lips, you're a damned
fool. The woman loves you-not-
mel"
He stopped.
BY this time Blythedale and the doc
tor were by Strathgate's side. Park
man also woke to action. He ran
to Carrington's side and drew him
back.
IA damned fool" cried my lord,
hoarsely, "ay that I've been"
Parkman said nothing. He fetched
Carrington's coat, waistcoat, sword
and shoes and assisted him to put
them on.
1--WE had best go now, Bernard" he
said when Darlington was clothed
Find out how he is yonder before
We leave" said Darlington, looking
toward the group busted about poor
Strathgate.
Presently Parkman came back with
news.
He's desperately hurt. Your blade
just graZed the lung"
'Will he pull through"
"Nevinson doesn't know He hopes
so. God! it was terrible thrust I
thought he had you at first. l never
saw such play, but, man, you were his
master"

Health and Cooking.

Good cooking is rapidly becoming
a lost art. They who prepare the
food for the world decide the health of
the world. You have only to go on
some errand amid the hotels OF the
United States and Great Britain to ap,
preciate the fact that a vast multitude
of the human race are slaughtered by
incompetent cookery. Though n young
woman may have taken lessons in
music. and may have taken lessons In
painting, and lessons In astronomy.
she Is not well educated unless she
has taken lessons In dough.
