Order of the Golden Horseshoe.

How many persons have ever heard
Of the Order of the Golden Horseshoe,
the first order founded In America?
In 1924, when Virginia extended
from the Atlantic into the unknown
West, few of her colonists had cross
ed the Blue Ridge or the Alleghenies.
so full OF dangers from savages and
wild beasts and so full of natural diff
culties was the passage OF these terri
BILE heights, that Governor Spotswood,
setting out to discover a pass, looked
on the expedition as so hazardous that
he took with him a guard of soldiers,
gentlemen, and pioneers" armed and
carrying provisions. These scaled the
pass with great hardships and perlls,
and returned after the Governor had
cut the name Of King George In the
cocks on the highest peak.
de then constituted the society, o.
order, of the Golden Horseshoe. Eact
mar who had scaled this high pass wan
nnde a member of 1t, and to each oae
ne presented golden horseshoe. Or
the side was inscribed Ia Latin $50
It pleases him to cross mountains.~
Any men thereafter VINO could provs
that he had read with his own eyes
the name Of the King on the height was
entitl led to become a member of this
order.

CHAPTER TX.

There are some men who have so little
self-respect that they do not keep up a
decent pretence of virtue when the object
Is achieved for which 1t was first assumed,
and Lynn Yeames was one of these. He
already took upon himself the airs of mas
ter in that house, and with a grand pat
ronage babe me come down and have
some refreshment. l complied, for after
the shaking l had received l was in no
mood to refuse.
We went into the sitting room. Laurie
was lying on the couch holding the hand
of Miss Dalrymple. who sat on a stool
by her side.
"Oh, haven't you got all that over
YETI" Lynn asked petulantly, glancins at
them. "Sit down, Keene." He touched
the bell. Its absurd nonsense TO en-
courage morbid feeling and mawkish sem
timent about a thing that's been fore
seen for weeks-an inevitable thing
A little refreshment for Mr.. Keene" The
latter addressed to the servant who came
TO the door. 81 say it's nonsense :"
Lynn !" said Miss Dalrymple in a
tone of mingled surprise. regret and re-
monstranee.
81 say It's nonsense" he repeated
harshly. "and you ought to know 1t, Ger
trude, with your experience; the child has
been petted and pampered till she's I'M
healthy. It's exactly what my mother
has maintained all along. However, l
shall alter all that-the girl will be pack
ed off TO a good, wholesome boarding
school as soon as the funeral is over"
Miss Dalrymple looked perfectly amaz-
ed by chis extraordinary outburst she
could not understand the meaning of il.
/ could well enough. Mr.. Yeames had
already thought better Of his proposal to
make the penniless Miss Dalrympe a
partaker in his fortune. and did not care
how soon there should be a breach be
tween them. 1t was this rather than any
sudden fit of dislike TO Laure which had
led him 10 make this savage onslaught
Laure chung closer than ever to her
only friend, and looked in terror at Lynn.
Miss Dalrymple held her hand firmly. The
servant brought in the tray and l helped
myself Lynn waited till the servant
was gone, and then, going to the win
dow, said:
II shall go over and fetch Audrey.
The certificate must be seen about at
Snce. Go and get my hat from the Ii
brary, Laurie. The child sprang up and
sped from the room TO fetch the bully's
hat; Miss Dalrymple stood with heaving
and close-presssd lips. and not q particle

"Er-excuse me, miss" responded the

points respecting him." said the doctor.

l, as / opened the door to let him out.
Unfortunately, this chance of clearing
his mind was denied to US. The next
morning, when | called at Flexmore
House, heard that he had not been seen
since he left, shortly after my departure,
to fetch DR.. Audrey; and in the course
of the day l learned that he had gone to
London. This did not surprise me. He's
gone to see a London solicitor about this
affair."" l thought; land may be bled

at the house, for l had made up my mind
to visit the inmates there every day,
knowing how long and dreary the days
must be for them in the darkened house,
and that he child at least, looked upon
me as protecting friend. Miss Dalrym-
pie was bending over her work with a
worn and anxious look upon her sweet
face. Little Laurie started up with
terrified expression In her eyes, as though
she expected to see Lynn Yeames with a
rope in his hand to haul her off TO board
ing school, as l opened the sitting room
door. Both of their poor faces lit up
with pleasure when l said:
Its only 1.-THE old lawyer-come to
bother you for some papers"
Laurie ran up, threw her arms around
my neck, and kissed me; and, still hug
cling me, she whispered:

"You are nice old dear!" she said,
giving me another kiss; and then she ran

raking up all the news of the village, for
there's nothing like trifing chat for peo-

went out of the room, l said:

Messrs. Palermo and Cinngoloni. the
Inventors of ''tachyol' (fuoride of sill

have found that a solution Of / part In

including bacillus subtilis, Its germici-
DIAL effect being much greater than that
OF chlorine, bromine or ozone.

The German government more than
year ago imposed what seemed to be
moderate tax on railroad tickets.
The result Of 1t has been a diversion of
travel from the higher to the lower
classes, to such an extent that a de-
crease OF about $2,5OO,OO0 in the pas
senger earnings Of the Prussian state
railroads alone Is attributed to it.
Nearly at the same time a new schedule
Of charges for passengers and baggage
was introduced, which on the same
railroads reduced earnings about
s1,5O0,000. But this was expected.
DR.. H. c. Stevens, of Seattle, reports
recent experiments which show that
objects seen by indirect vision ordin-
arily appear larger In the right half
OF the neld Of vision than In the left.
With a smaller number of persons this
is reversed. From these facts he de-
duces possible origin of right and left
haDdedless. Right-hsndedness, or Its
reverse, develops at about the age OF
seven months. DR.. Stevens suggests
that they may be due to the phenomena
OF vision just described. BY a reflex

Lynn met her calm gaze with bent
