What mercy are you showing these
Fassels? You owe them some con-
sideration do you not? They are
Mrs. Ellicott's intimate friends"
Her small, childish face was gray
with fear
II know, and I am very weak, very
wicked. But answer me one question
DR.. Hume. Did you ever love any per-
son with all your heart and soul-so
dearly, so entirely, that the world
semed to hold no other-that nothing
else in the wild universe was Of any
Importance to you?"
He was dumb.
! you understand me, I see. Then
give me a little time to find out If I am
still bound
You are still bound!" said Hume,
sharply do not doubt it! Andy Gaff
lives, and you are his WIFE"
She gave a despairing cry, and the
hand which had been pressed to her
heart fell helplessly at her side. Un-
der her feet the frosty pebbles glisten-
ed in the moonlight; over her uncov-
cred head the bare branches Of the
trees ratified mournfully in the wind.
You have found out for certain?'
she shuddered.
you have seen some one from Cape
Desolation?"
yes"
She trembled, and seemed unable to
frame another question.
II cannot, all in a moment" she
murmured, family, break my own
heart and-his. I must have little
preparation-one week-two weeks
then 1 will tell him. But no sooner
oh, no sooner! You will not deny me
short reprieve?"
1t was Hume's misfortune that he
could never feel anything but compass
sion for this unhappy girl.
You cannot escape from these COM
plications without trouble" he said
You have allowed an honorable man
to make love to you. Take my advice,
and without delay confess everything
to him, or Miss Fassel."
ooh cannot" she answered. in
alarm; mot yet-not yeti" and she
burst into wild weeping. "You are like
an executioner who holds the ak above
my neck 1 ask your mercy for only a
fortnight longer-one little fortnight"
Like all men, Hume had horror of
womans tears.
you will not listen to reason" he
said, impatiently well, have your
way. But remember what I told you
at the ball. These Fassels are nothing
to me-" with cold Indifference; "yet, /
must keep you from dragging their
good name in the mire. 1 will remain
silent, then, fer another two weeks
not a day longer. 1t IS the last favor
can show you"
81 will ask for nothing more, DR..
Hume" she replied, in queer, stified
voice.
He stalked away, and left her stand
ing there in the moonlight, her face as
white as hoar frost, but on her lips a
wicked little smile of triumph.

To Operate This Masterpiece Air Is the
First Necessity.
Of all the engines cunningly devised
by man not one can equal that master
piece Of construction, the engine OF the
human frame. TO run that engine air
is the first necessity. Construct 1t how
you win the greater part Of the energy
which ,-e,'s a power plant Is lost De-
fore C reaL.-- he applying machine.
The body only has the power Of using
ener., really economically and eff
ciently. It's food is its fuel. To be
available all the constituents OF that
food must be burned, producing heat
and power. For that burning the oxy-
gen Of the air is essential. Equally
true is it that nitrogen must be present
to prevent the rapid combustion Whlch
would take place in oxygen alone. But
whether the combustion be fast or
slow. the action is the same. The
body burns the carbon and hydrogen
of its food and gives out the oxides OF
these substances, carbon dioXide Gear
bon acid gas) and hydrogen oxide (wa-
teri. The water that is formed within
the body by the burning Of hydrogen
is Of comparatively slight Importance in
a consideration Of the vital questions OF
the effect Of city air upon the individ-
ual but the other factor, the carbon
diOxide formed in the body, is of direct
importance.-Hollis Godfrey in Allan

NEW COTTON PEST.
Disease Spreads Rapidly, Causing the
Leaves to Fall.


For the past four or five weeks re-
ports have been coming into the state
department Of entomology with refer
ence to the ravages Of new cotton
known as the red spider These re-
ports have come mainly from the Sec
tions of the state south Of Atlanta
According to State Entomologist
Worsham, the red spider is a small in
sect not visible clearly to the naked
eye but easily seen by means Of good
hand lens. 1t has a characteristically
red or reddish color, fastens itself to
the under side of the cotton leaf, and
mutiplies very rapidly, the leaves OF
the infected stalk dropping off on ac-
count of the ravages Of the insects.
While the color Of the leaves on the
under side is distinctly reddish hue,
the color on top is not so marked, flav-
ing a dull brown or black tinge. The
disease begins on a few stalks, but In
an incredibly short time may spread
over an entire field. AS soon as the
leaves drop from the stalks, 1t becomes
necessary for the plant to develop new
leaves, which greatly decreases its vi
tality and causes a corresponding
shortage in the yield.
Dry weather is favorable to the de-
velopment of these insects and seems
to great extent to be responsible for
the prevalence Of the disease in many
sections Of the state. 1t Is a natural
inference that water should be a pre-
ventive, if not a remedy, for the trou-
BILE, which is true, but it is not suf-
fciently effective remedy.
A mixture Of equal parts Of sulphur
and Stacked lime Is suggested by the
department Of entomology as the best
means of disposing Of these insects.
The mixture is to be thoroughly pow
dered and busted carefully upon the
under part Of the leaves affected. II
this is done as soon as the presence OF
the insects is noticed, 1T will effective
" prevent their spreading over any
larger area and render the disease cas-
lily controlled.
The insects Of themselves are pow
er'ess to spread over a field, but may
be easily scattered by plowing, unless
precaution of destroying them first is
taken. They are also scattered by
means of other larger insects in whose
feet they may become fastened.
1t is the opinion Of the state en-
tomologist that this disease may be
,ntirely checked and destroyed, If the
oroper methods are used.-Atlanta

FIsHERMEN's sUPERsTITIoNS.
Dancing For SaImon-Words to Be
Avoided When Batting a Hook.

Dancing For Salmon-Words to Be
Avoided When Batting a Hook.
In British Columbia the Indians
tremendously went to meet the first
salmon and in flattering voices tried to
win their favor by calling them all
chiefs.
Every spring in California. the Kar-
axis used to dance for salmon. Mean
while one of their number secluded
himself in the mountains and tasted
for ten days. Upon his return he SOL
emnly approached the river, took the
first salmon Of the catch, ate some of
it and with the remainder lighted a
sacrficial fire. The same Indians la
boriouSly climbed to the mountain top
after the poles for the spearing booth,
being convinced that if they were
gathered where the salmon were
watching no fish would be caught.
Very widespread, in fact, is this ma
tive belief of the necessity Of caution
whenever Adam is on fishing bent.
In Japan among the primitive race
of the Amos even the women left at
home are not allowed to talk lest the
fish may hear and disapprove, while
the first fish is always brought in
through a window instead Of a door
so the other fish may not see.
The Esquimau women of Alaska
never sew while the men are fishing,
and should any mending be impera-
tive they do it shut up in little tents
out of sight of the sea.
Under no circumstance on the
northeast coast of Scotland will fish
erman at sea mention certain objects
on land, such as minister" kirk"
Swine" dog" etc, and the line will
surely be lost if a pig is seen while
batting it, AS on the land chickens
must not be counted until they are
hatched. so at sea fish must not be
counted until they are all caught. 1t
is good luck to find mice nibbling
among the nets; a horseshoe nailed
to the mast will help, and herring
caught and salted down will produce
wonders.
In the Shetland Islands a cat must
not be mentioned before a man bait
ing his line and among the Magyars OF
Hungary a fisherman will turn back
and wait over Il tide if he meets a
woman wearing a white apron.
Every year the natives of the Duke
of York Island decorate a canoe with
flowers and fern, fill it with shell mo-
ncy and cast it adrift "to compensate
the fish for their fellows caught and
eaten"
1t was always the custom of the
Maoris, the primitive inhabitants OF
New Zealand, to put the first fish that
they caught back into the sea with
prayer that it might tempt other fish
to come and be caught"
If the fish did not come soon e.
nough in British Columbia the Indians
used to employ wizard, who made an
image of a swimming fish and put it
in the water to attract live fish to bait.

TALKING DowN.-The superintendent
If a Sunday school class in Philadel-
phia recently called upon a visitor to
say a few words" to the class, the
members of which are mostly children
of a tender age.
The visitor, speaker we'll known for
his verbose and circumlocutory mode
of speech, began his address as fol-
lows:
This morning, children, purpose to
offer you an epitome of the life of st
Faul. 1t may be, perhaps, that there
are among you some too young to grasp
the meaning Of the word 'epitome.
'Epitome, children, is, in it's significa-
ton. synonymous with synopsis

You speak too harshly. From my

You speak too harshly. From my
heart l forgive her everything"
He stared moodily into space.
And all this bother comes from the
death of one man-that scoundrel, Le-
pei Ellicott."
II never heard that he was Il scoun-
drel," said Bess, startled.
"Oh, but he was! Surely, Bess, some
of the fellows dishonorable deeds
must have reached your ears
You forget that l was a totaI
stranger to the Ellicotts, although a
remote relative. Even DR.. Hume new
er saw his cousin"
mo great misfortune that! BY the
way, Bess, why did you not turn me
out, after Roses desertion? Why did
you continue to burden yourself with
the wretched idiot that she had for
saken?"
Uncle Caleb and l could not turn
you out. We never found you a bur-
den. While we had a home, we meant
that you should share it. And 1t was
well for me-" sadly smiling, that we
never thought of parting with you
Think of the night when you saved me
on the cliffs"
Did I really do that?" he asked
thoughtfully. "Then it must have been
blind instinct which directed me. You
were my one friend, Bess-in spite of
my mental darkness, l suppose l some
how recognized the fact. Recall my
first visit to Hillyer's Cove-to Caleb's
cottage" He shuddered involuntarily.
Il felt a strange foreboding Of evil at
sight of the house that night-a sick
ening disgust, incomprehensible at the
time. Some supernatural power must
have whispered to me of my future
sufferings there. At any rate, the pre-
sentiment of i'll was most curiously
verified"
Her handsome face told how deeply
she was moved.
But now you are yourself again,
she said. cheerfully.
"Yes-thanks to you and to Mrs
Ellicott's nephew!'
When she spoke of the curious let
ter written by Susan Taylor to Cap
tain Ira Berry, Andy made no comment
whatever-only stared. In undisguised
trepidation, Bess hurried on to the fl
nal disclosure.
Now" she said, the worst Of all
remains to be told! Rose believes you
to be 1ead-yes, 1 am sure she believes
that!-and-she has found another
lover!"
Ho gave a violent start.
You must interfere Immediately
urged Bess, in an anxious, troubled
voice; you must save Rose from fur
ther sin. 1t is rumored in the city that
she is betrothed-this 1 heard from DR.
Hume. l begged him to do something
but he refused. He thinks it is your
businessmen his. Do not waste mo-
ment. She will suffer shame, exposure
loss: but no alternative is left you
Rose must be prevented from working
any more harm to herself or to 9TH
ers."
"Who is the lover?" he asked, sharp
ly.
His name is Fassel. He is rich and
distinguished, and he loves her dear
ly."
He uttered an exclamation.
"Yor know him." cried Bess.
"Well-a trife"
ooh, I am sure something ought to
be done Immediately"
"My poor brave Bess, something shall
be done!" he replied in grave, de-
termined voice
