steps to the boat landing. lie was a

power of life and death the life or

His eyes fell upon the tackle neatly

much to help her over the days that

on Tim Darlington. She swept her

the governor. ut seems that young

Jessie. Jack was to nave paid back

The governor hurriedly threw out his

DR.. Georges Dumas is the author Of
an article in the Revue de Paris on
"The Odor OF Sanctity." The writer

Catholic church whose bodies after
death or during moments OF ecstasy
emitted peculiarly pleasing odors Of
various kinds. Then men and women

MAGIC MIRRORS.

now is little known or believed. The
researches Of various scientific men
have established the fact that the phc.

differences so minute that they do not
affect the ordinary use of the mirror
as a looking glass and that can he dc

The only remaining mystery has
been as to how these delicate differ

exact correspondence to the pattern on
the back. The makers themselves are
