And once, but once, at Loves dear feet
yielded strength and life and heart;
Her look turned bitter into sweet,
Her smile made all the world COM
plete--
The wind blows loves, like leaves,
apart
The wind of death, that tenderly
Is blowing 'twixt my love and me.
The song ceased with a click But
the woman was mad. She sprang from
her chair and stretched out her arms
"Charlie!" she called softly. Charlie,
don't be foolish! Don't run away from
me! For 1 love you! I love you.
Charlie! 1 couldn't forget!'
So she ran on, stretching out her
arms pleadingly, whispering into that
dark, voice-haunted room, telling all
the secrets of her years of loneliness,
betraying to that cracked Voice the
very heart of her hearts. AS suddenly
as she had fallen into this she fell
silent, listening. There was no an
swer. She peered out into the dark
ness. She sobbed, fearless. A faint cry
echoed from the crest of the island.
She started UP tensely, smiled from
the doorway and fell on her face. arms
outstretched.
I remembered in that moment a
thousand things that had never taken
into account before. I rose to my feet

that record!' I went on in and jerked
the handle of a mechanical piano. 1t
started off on the same tune. I pulled
the handle of a music-box. It tinkled
the same song. went out on the
porch and told the silent woman's

always was a fool. It's just what you
might expect of him."
There was no answer. There never

AT daylight Captain Pix thrust his

His eyes fell on the woman's body,
the little fingers of one outstretched
hand nearly touched the toe of his
clumsy boot. He drew back with a
cry. His iron visage paled slightly.
"Who killed her?'' he whispered,
huskily.
To my ears the room filed again
with a wonlan's soft babble. I stoop

hand. II don't know" I replied. But

SOAP FROM BANANA SKINS.

In the South of Norway farmers are
now making a far better living by
gathering seaweed than from their
farming operations. This seaweed is
dried and burned, and from the result
ing ashes which are sold to manufac-
turing chemists, iodine, a valuable
medicine, is obtained.
Horsehair combings are valuable, be-
ing worth Is per pound. After being
for upholstery.
The innocent banana skin, which is
the subject of a very stringent bylaw
lately, has its uses also. 1t is rich in
alkali and in the West Coast of Africa
the skins are boarded, dried and after
ward burnt to ashes. This ash mixed
with water and palm oil goes to make
a soap ball which is seen on every
village market stall.
If you were told that you had
combed your hair with an old boot,
or buttoned your dress with an old
pair of slippers, you might resent such
a statement.
1t is quite possible, however. Old
shoes are cut up by machinery into
small pieces and soaked for a few days
in chloride of sulphur, which makes the
leather hard and brittle. 1t is then
dried and ground to powder, after
which it is mixed with some material
of the nature of glue or gum, and COM
pressed into the required shape for but
tons. combs. knife handles and such
thing Weekly.

men of the day at our smart restau-
rants, each seated alone at one of the
tables, intent on doing himself thor
oughly well. His whole mind seems
occupied with the menu and its COM
ponent parts. He regards this as
portion of his daily duty to himself.
In novel written by man the
opening chapter shows US a ruined
youth leaving London for Monte Carlo.
He gives the guard shillings to keep
the rest of the world out of his first
class carriage and regards with salts

which he has provisioned himself for
the journey. One contains his lunch
con for next day, and the third holds
the wine that is to accompany these
two meals and neat contrivance by
the help of which he makes himself a
cup of superlatively excellent after
dinner coffee. He has left London to
escape his creditors. They would be

his neat hampers.
Such is the golden youth of our day.
He denies himself nothing, and his
expenditure upon the luxuries of exist

that the Duke of Wellington, a man
who had no sympathy with dandyism,
said that 1.-THE dandies fought well at
Waterloo" Stoics in their particular

those of war, pioneering, big game

Books Missing.
After the recess Mr. Kellogg began
questioning Mr.. Rockefeller about the
trust agreement of 1882 and about the
ownership OF the stocks held by this trust.
Mr.. Rockefeller said that the total value
of the thirty-nine corporations included
in the trust was approximately $40 ,0O0. 900
and that each of the stockholders named
in the trust agreement received certifi-
Gates for the amount of stock of subsidi-
airy companies which he owned Mr.. KEEL
logg said that efforts were made by the
government last year to secure possession
Of the books showing how these certifi-
Gates were distributed, and asked Mr..
Rockefeller to make a search for them
and also for the stock ledgers showing
transfers of stocks.
Mr.. Rockefeller replied that he would
do anything he could, but that he did not
know where the books are. He said that
the Standard Oil trust was dissolved in
1892 in obedience to an order of the Ohio
courts. A majority of the stock held by
the trust was distributed to the individual

this instruction the indictment of Nelson
was considered a great step toward the
solution of the mystery.
A. w. Nelson's Status.
According to the evidence received l,y
the grand jury. a. w. Nelson frequently
took money from the Utah National bank
TO the Jordan State bank This money
was for the smelter payrolls and was
taken with the consent of the officers Of
the bank. AS a rule young Nelson called.
before banking hours and took this money
from a safety deposit vault where il had
been left for him. He had a key 10 the
side door of the bank; IT was SAID that
he had access to the drawer in the vault
in which the combination TO the reseEFe
chest was kept, and the theory on which
the indictment was returned was thar
Nelson had on some of his trips to the
bank distracted the Sl06.2J0 from the
vault
During the grand jury investigation sew
eTal prominent citizens were called %
testify. The business dealings Of the en-
ployes of the bank and others were close
~ sifted and an effort was made TO learn
the exact income and expenditures o.
each of these. It was expected that In
the trial of Nelson there would be other
implicated. for IL was conceded by all Of
those who believed that there was a good
case against Nelson that he would NJ
have taken the money without the assist
ancs of others and that in reality he Was
only d tool for others.

Rockefeller said he did not think so.
and when Mr.. kellogg read list of the
South Improvement company's stock
holders, Mr.. Rockefeller named several
of them who, he said. did not hold stock
in the Standard. .--E sl-e
Replying to further questions, Mr..
Rockefeller said that he thought there
was an increase in the stock of the
Standard Oil company of Ohio from 81,
500, 600 to s3,50000O in 1875.
''In making the increase, did you not
submit a paper on which appeared the
names of all the stockholders of the
South Improvement company?' asked
Mr.. Kellogg.
1.-The paper would be the best evil
dence,' replied Mr.. Rockefeller.
Mr. kellogg then read several names
from the paper, and Mr.. Rockefeller
said it was possible several of those
mentioned might have been stockhold-
ers of the Standard if they had the
money to purchase the stock.

take into the Standard after 1902"

way; Stilman W. Witt, a director of
the Lake Shore and Big Four railroads.

Big Four road, were taken into the
Standard Oil company in the early

Mr.. Rockefeller said that P. H. Wat
