reward is to be the hand of the girl he
loves, Enid Anstruther. sister of the Eng
fish lieutenant. The four fly from Ajac-
clio to Marseilles on board the French
steamer Constantine. The vendetta pur-
sues and as the quartet are about to
board tho train for London at Marseilles,
Marina is handed a mysterious note
which causes her to collapse and necesst-
tates postponement Of the journey.
Barnes gets part Of the mysterious note
and receives letters which inform him
that he Is marked by the vendetta. He
employs an American detective and plans
to beat the vendetta at their own game

thought to have given him sign. Ma
rina refuses to explain to Barnes which
fact adds to his latent suspicious. Barnes

learned by the COrscans. The carriage

Mental Photography.

A member of the Photographic so.
ciety has been trying the new mental
photography which has been making
some stir in Berlin. This local ex-
perimenter took blank Photographic
plate into his dark room, bound it to
his forehead and for 30 minutes con-
centrated his thoughts on the face of
close friend of his. The developed
plate, which he says is the identical
one that he bound to his forehead,
shows, family, traces of face that
has many points of resemblance to
that of his friend. Such, at least, Is
the opinion of some who have seen
the plate, though others declare that
It's markings are indeterminate and
look like nothing in particular. The
point raised by the experiment is
whether or not an image on the hui
man brain can be photographed, since

eats so little that Monsieur Leboeuf,
gazing upon the untouched viands,
utters snort of rage. Finding his
lady love still cool to him, Mr.. Barnes,
in very desperation, goes to shooting
again.
The crew, anxious to see his skill,
toss bottles into the air and throw up
potatoes for his unerring bullets, and
every time the American puts a pellet
into one of them he wishes sardonical-
ly it was the heart of Cipriano Danella.
This seems to make his aim very true,
and his success is SO astounding that
the crew raise cheer as he puts one
bullet through two potatoes thrown
into the air at the same time as they
cross each other in their fight.
The reports of his pistol floating
over the placid water reach consid-
cradle distance. At all events, they
and the cheer excite some comment on
a little felucca that has been sailing
an almost parallel course; apparently
a very fast craft, it draws somewhat
nearer.
Attracted by this, Enid turns her
sharp eyes from the pistol shooting
she has been watching languidly and
suddenly exclaims: why, it's the
lateen-rigged fishing boat we saw in
the harbor of st. Tropez yesterday
afternoon"
Are you sure?" asks Barnes, with
some concern in his tone, as he ceases
his target practice.
Certain" replies Edwin, who has
put his sailor eyes upon the craft.
THAT felucca's got peculiar cant to
her mainsail I'd know anywhere" To
this he adds: Il wonder where's she
bound, to the sardine fishing of Cape
Corso?"
At this information the American
gazes very unpleasantly toward the lit

The other children talked knowing
ly about St. Valentines box. Next
day they filed in one after another,
and into big wooden box they
dropped white envelopes. When
school was about to be dismissed the
Beautiful Lady who took care of all
the children opened up the mysterious
affair and took out the envelopes one

boy or girl.
You held your breath. When would
yours come? All! exquisite moment

ment you expected that your name

were busy showing their white lace
valentines, and never noticed the visit

It was all over. The box was empty.
The Beautiful Lady closed her desk.

1880 he spent IA years of his life in
Indiana, or until he was Fl years of
age.
During Abraham Lincoln's 16 years
of life in Indiana he had read and re-
read this list of literary and histori-
cal books over and over again. His
good nature among Lincoln City peo-
pie was not unnoticed;, all agreed to
his honesty and good nature. Cues
tons of dispute and petty differences
were at first submitted to him in a
joking way, and later on in a sincere
way, until he was tomplimented for
his honest and just way in settling
disputes and differences. He was told
more times than once that some day
he would turn out to be lawyer.
Having read all the literary books
and what few there were of law in and
around Boonville, Lincoln heard of the
court at Boonville. He resolved to 60

Abraham Lincoln a study, and those

mere passing of a milestone. Each

SpredQS us cnarm
over the preceding week and the
week that comes after. For days and
days the Small Person sneaks into the
house with unnatural, unhealthy. and
suspicious quiet, holding queer shaped
bullying packages under her coat or
smuggled away in the innermost cav
erns of her absurd little muff. The
paste pot appears everywhere in the
house. The paste brush disappears
entirely and is finally found in a state
of suicide and the ink-bottle. You see
something on the floor that looks like
q cherry. You pick it up and it is
red paper heart. While you are look
ing at it the Small Person trots into
the room, gives you one mysterious
glance, Immediately separates you
from your treasure and scampers
away to hiding place under the din
ingroom table, where she sits for three
straight hours in a billowy pool of
white paper lace, big white envelopes
AMI numberless samples of scissors.
Then, after these charming hours
of mysterious preparation, the great
day approaches. The mail man is the
Kris Kringle, the Santa Claus, the
good fairy. With Bonded shoulders he
plods down the street, while the Small
Person has her nose glued so tightly
to the window pane that there is con-
siderable question whether or not it
will detach itself without the aid of
paper knife.
At last! Hooray! The bell rings.
At imminent risk of catching every
thing from cold to a spanking the
Small Person dashes out of the front
door and fairly leaps into the mail
bag.
/ She energies looking like a young
stationery establishment, nothing but
envelopes, big, little and middle sized.
With squeal and a scurry she blows
back into the house and opens up her
treasures. There are paper trees filled
with brilliant paper roses, and be-
meath the forest trees sit little cupids
without no clos on at ALL just as
If it were not February and chilly.
Great big, beautiful white swan cars
more beautiful even than a new au.
tomobile-are dragged out of their
white castings, and 10! when you touch
little spring somewhere the swan
cars are filled with flowers and all
sorts of wonderful, exquisite, beautiful
things, like birds and jewels and low
ing hearts. oh, it is very, very de-
lightful, being a child on st. Valen-
tines day.
While all this excitement is beating
the quiet home atmosphere into quiv-
ers you sit down in a far-away cor
ner and think of the time when you
were little girl. Perhaps you didn't
have as much attention as the Small
Person; perhaps things didn't some
how come your way-and perhaps it's
because you had so little that you
are ready to make any sacrifice SO
that the Small Person shall have
much. 1t is from deprivations that
you learn what good things mean and
ho" much they mean.

perings about st. Valentine. You won

where the good mother of Abraham
Lincoln. lay beneath the sod. While
there the picnickers went through the
cabin where Lincoln saw his mother
pass away and from which place he
returned to Kentucky to get minister
to come to Indiana and bury his moth
er, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. A few old
relics were found, among Them being
an old knot maui and an oil fashioned
mouldboard pillow, both of which had
been left there when the Lincolns
moved to Illinois. The old plow was
brought outside and an old man by
the name of Gabriel Medcalf stood be-
tween the handles while one of the
party caught a picture of the old Lin
coin cabin. The old man carrying the
pole was Joseph P. Haines, better
known as Uncle Porter Haines. The
picture of Lincoln's second log cabin
was made from the original taken at
the time this party went to the home
along in the seventies.
