CHAPTER x.

Constable had been physically unhurt
In his thirty years, and the e1ertions of
the past four days had worn little more
than the polish from his vitality. In
stead of relaxing in the crisis of the news
paper revelation, his body righted under
the whip of pride, and he strobe down
into the city as one who has slipped
burden. He had been beaten in battle
with a woman. Butcher had come to
Mrs. Stansbury's aid at the last moment,
in the shape of newspapers from the
north. From Lara, however, and not the
mother, had come the most Gripping blow
of all. 1t was Lara who had handed him
the newspaper. She did not wait, nor
ask. Around this item, Constable built
gloom-structure of baronial proportions.
His attitude toward Breen was very
simple. He would not betray his guest
for all the newspapers and police in
Christendom. Having waived Breen's
offer to detail the particulars of his past,
during the first night of acquaintance,
Constable certainly could not reproach
the other for misrepresenting himself.
1t was ten-thirty in the morning when
he sent message out to Captain Negley,
countermanding sailing orders, and enclos-
ing a cheerful note to Crusoe, containing
a draft for the stipulated amount. At the
bank he also left a second sum for Faith
er Damien, and procured considerable cur
rent paper for his own uses. His mind
moved in light, irresponsible fashion.
1t was as if he were obsessed at quick
intervals, one after another, by mad kings
,hn dor onufhinO nd who
dared refuse. His brain kept the great
sorrow in the background, and occupied
itself with striking articles. While aware
that in losing Miss Stansbury and the
privilege of protecting her, the meaning
and direction of his life was gone, still
Constable did not yet sense the fullness
of the visitation. His was not a wound
to heal by first intention; and in bad
hurts pain assumes command leisurely
and in order.
He plunged into a crowd in the market
place, and began to talk to the natives
whimsically, but to the purpose of start
ing them toward Fort de France, adding
that Father Damien would care for them
generously there. II do not say that this
is the last day of Saint Pierre" he ex-
claimed in French, ''but declare to you
that if ever planet looked as if she were
about to spring leak, Mother Earth has
the symptoms localized in Pelee!"
Constable's eyes had fixed upon a car
riage passing along the edge of the
crowd. Now he moved toward it quick
ly and seized the bride. Despite the pro-
testations of the driver, he led the vehicle
into the good view of ALL His face was
red with the heat and ashine with laugh
ter and perspiration. Alarm and merri-
ment mingled in the native throng. All
eyes followed the towering figure Of the
American. now bowed before the swinging
1oor of the carriage-and NJ. Mondet.
This, dear friends" Constable resum-
ed as one would produce rabbit from
silk hat-"this, you all perceive. is
your little editor of Les Colonies. Ia ho
not bright and clean and pretty? He is
very fond of American humor. See how

No Time for Fireworks.

The mountainous waves threatened
to engulf the struggling ship at any
moment. The captain ordered box OF
skyrockets and flares brought to the
rail and with his own hands ignited
them, in the hope tht they would make
known his distress to some passing
ship.
Amid the rockets red glare tall,
thin, austere individual made his way
to the rail and reproved the captain as
follows:
Captain, must protest against this
unseemly bravado. We are now facing
death. This is no time for a celebra-
n.'-EyerybOdy's Magazine.

This Is one of the most common skin
diseases, affecting all classes of hui
mainly, rich and poor, clean and dirty,
children and adults, male and female,
with provoking impartiality. The very
young and the old are, however, usual
ly exempt, the age limits Of the suf-
ferers being generally from ten to forty
years. Men and boys are perhaps at
tackled more frequently than are girls
and women, but there is no striking diff
ference.
The disease appears often to be her
editary, but it is not contagious. 1t
is usually worse in winter than in
summer; but this is the case with many
skin troubles, and a warm climate Is
no bar to it's occurrence. 1t bears no
relation to the general health, appar-
ently,-indeed, the robust and vigor-
GUS seem at times to be more disposed
to it-except that it is common in those
Of equity tendency.
1t is a scaly disease, the eruption Oc-
curing in patches Of variable size, and
consisting Of reddish, rather hard, low
elevations, surmounted by grayish-
white scales. 1t appears at first as a
little pimple, red in color and with a
silvery scale on the top, and this grad
ually enlarges until it forms patch
from the size of finger nail to that
Of the palm Of the hand.
The scales are sometimes loose on
the surface: but generally they adhere
closely to the dull red base, and it re-
quires some effort to detach them. On
some parts Of the body they are heaped
up In quite thick crusts. They are
usually dry, but when thickly aggre-
gated, and In summer when the sufferer
perspires great deal, they may be
soggy. They are usually of silvery
or grapish-white color, but in those who
are careless In regard to personal
cleanliness they may become brownish.
In those who wash frequently with
soap and water, the scales may be al
most entirely removed, leaving only
dull red patches. But they soon form
again If the scrubbing process is
omitted for a few days. Healing starts
at the center Of the patch, SO that
sometimes the eruption is in the form
Of rings enclosing an area Of healthy
<kin.
The eruption occurs most frequently
on the outer parts Of the knees and
elbows. It is common on the scalp,
and sometimes, although rarely, In
wolves the face. There are often
patches on the back.
The disease usually yields to treat
ment, but is likely to recur. Treat
ment must be both internal ana ex-
ternal. Diet should be regulated, ana
tea and coffee or highly seasoned foods
prohibited. The patches must be
bathed with water containing borax
or bicarbonate of soda, to loosen the
scales and give local remedies chance
to act properly.
The drugs employed in the treatment
are such as may be injurious II used
carelessly or in too large doses, and
should be employed only In accordance
with the physicians prescription.

WHERE CONTROL WAS LACKING.
Pitcher All Right with the Ball, But
Not in Other Respects.

A pitcher belonging to profess
sional baseball club, who thought he
was not getting his share of the lime
light of publicity, went one day to the
captain and manager to make his
kick" Being of somewhat choleric
disposition. which had got him into
trouble more than once, he spoke with
feeling.

me a square deal, and you know IL"

Love-.

Love is the only bow on life's uarh
cloud, 1t is the morning and evening
star. 1t shines on the babe, and
sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb.
1t is the mother of art; inspirer Of
poet, patriot and philosopher 1t is
the air and light of every heart; build
er Of every home; kinder Of every
fire on the hearth; 1t was the first
dress Of immortality. 1t fills the world
with melody, for music is the voice OF
love. Love is the magician. the en-
chanter that changes worthless things
to Joy. and makes right royal queens
and kings of common clay. 1t is the
perfume Of that wonderful flower, the
heart, and without that sacred pas
sion, that divine swoon, we are less
than beasts but with it-earth is
heaven and we are gods.-Robert G.
Ingersoll.

DUTY,

The greatest thing in the world, the
inspiration Of life, the hottest and
noblest OF all words, is Duty 1t is
obedience, glad and eager, to the high
est law that makes man godlike Is 1t
cold and austere? Then a mothers
love Is wintry and forbidding. Is 1t
timid and inactive? Then the soldier
dying on the battlefield is a recreant
and coward The fire fighter, perish
ing In the flames, falls in the cause OF
duty. The nurse Of lepers, the helper
Of outcasts, the martyr falling that
men may rise, dying that many may
live, give up the precious light Of day
for duty's sake.-Rabbi Leon Harrison

does not include all revenues that are.
properly speaking, from internal

than duties levied at the frontiers
