eff only l could recover my papers,
May ask Arthur to help?'
"He knows the worst of me already.
One more shameful disclosure cannot
add to my degradation
''Isobel, how little you know him!'
Thus spoke Elsie after fourteen days.
Truly there is much enlightenment In
a hug!
NJ. lie Comte Edouard de Poincilit,
to his intense Chagrin. found that a
ships captain has far reaching pow
ers when he chooses to exert them.
Rather than enter a Montevidean Jail,
where people have died suddenly Of
nasty fevers, he not onsy restored the
missing documents, but submitted to a
close scrutiny of his own belongings,
which resulted in the pleasing discov-
cry that he was not a French count,
but a denizen of Martinique-most
probably a defaulting valet or clerk.
No one troubled to inquire further
about him. His passage money was
refunded, and he was bundled ashore.
Courtenay's view was that he had
heard by some means of Isobers in
tended departure from Valparaiso and
deemed 1t good chance of winning her
approval of his countship, seeing that
such titles are not subjected to serious
investigation in South America. Sua-
rez took his Fuegian bride up country,
where Mr.. Barring and DR.. Christobal
established them on a small ranch.
Isobel renewed her voyage some
what chastened in spirit, but her vola-
tile nature soon survived the shocks ii
had received. BY the time the Kansas
put her ashore at Tilbury. to be clasped
in the arms of a timid and fearful
aunt, she was ready as ever for the
campaign of glory she had mapped out
in London and Paris.
Captain Courtenay, r. N, and his
wife are not such distinguished per-
sonages, but their romance had a Sc
quel worthy Of its unusual beginning.
They were married quietly a week aft
er the Kansas reached London. There
was some war scare in full blast at the
moment, and a lord OF the admiralty
who deigned to read the newspapers
thought it was a pity that a smart
sailor should not risk his life for his
country rather than in behalf of base
commerce. So he looked I'D Courte-
nays record and found that it was ex.
cellent, the young lieutenant's reason
for resigning his commission being the
necessity of supporting his mother
when her estate was swept away by
bank failure. The sea lords made
him first rate offer of reinstatement
In the service at higher rank without
any loss Of seniority, and they went
about the business with such dignified
leisure that DR.. Christobal had time to
find out, through men whom he could
trust, that Elsie's small estate in Chile
contained one Of the richest mines In

Curious Specimen of Humanity

A gentleman from Smith county
passed through Newton Monday
afternoon on his way to Jackson
with a curiosity in the way of a
young negro which he was carry
ing to the state fair to exhibit. The
negro, native of TaylorsviIle, is
20 years old and is only twenty
four inches in height and weighs
fifty-six pounds. He had fully
developed head which had grown
almost down in between his Shout
ders, and seemed as intelligent as
the average negro, but the rest OF
his body was dWarfed. He could
not walk, as the joint between the
knee and the hips seemed never to
have grown any since he was an
infant, the knees being close to the
body. He had no use whatever of
his legs, but could use his hands,
and played the guitar little. His
bones are very brittle and easily
broken, and can be bent about most
anyway. The peculiar specimen
Of humanity attracted good dea1
of attention at the depot, Newton

When the jealousies. the petty
intrigues, the meannesseS and mis-
understandings in life .assail you,
rise above them. Be like a light
house that illumines and beauties
the snarling, smashing waves of
the storm that threaten it,, that seek
to undermine it and try to wash
over it. This is conquest. When
the chance to win fame, wealth,
success or the attainment of your
hearts desire by sacrifice of honor
