The Opium Habit.

In an article ON Robert Louis Steven.
sons horror Of the opium habit the
Rev. W. E. Clarke in the chronicle OF
the London Missionary society gives a
letter which the novelist sent when on
the island to the native king of Samoa
on the subject, in which he said:
Nothing is more quickly learned than
the opium habit. 1t passes from one to
another like song. Nothing is so
pernicious; it feeds upon unaccustomed
races like fire upon dry wood. And
l assure your majesty no race appears
less able to stand the results of this
drug than that to which your majesty
belongs and over so great a portion OF
which your majesty is called upon to
rule"
Stevenson concludes long letter by
suggesting to the king that "any for
eigner other than doctor or a mis-
sionary acting as a doctor who shall
be found to have distributed the drug
either for money or as a gift shoula
at once be deported from the islands.

1t Is not easy to realize the bondage
to fear under which barbarous people

ignorance. Mrs. Theodore Bent tells
in her book, Southern Arabia" how
she tried to make present of safety
pin to native woman and what a
storm of indignation was occasioned
by her act. On our arrival at our
camping ground and while we were
waiting for our tents to be ready l was
surrounded by women all masked
They seemed highly astonished at a
safety pin which | was taking out, so
/ gave or, rather, offered it to an old
woman near me. She wanted to take
the pin, but several men rushed be-
tween US and roared at US both and
prevented my giving it to her. stood
there holding it out and she stretching
out her hand. and one or two men then
asked me for it for her put it down
on stone and she took it away and
seemed pleased. but man soon
brought it back to me on the end Of a
stick, saying they did not know these
things and were afraid of them.

The sensational discovery of buried

heavy rains. The peasants, ignorant
OF its value. sold their treasure troye
for trifing sum to local resident,
who fed with 1t to Paris and disposed
of it to the authorities of the Musee
Cluny. The objects proved to be Of
rare antiquarian as well as intrinsic
value. They were. in fact, eleven
crowns which had been worn by Visi-
gothic kings who had ruled Spain 1900
years previously. The largest of these
crowns, beautiful piece Of workman

many pearls Of great size. Below II

When the boys came back to college

mated charms. The enforced quiet OF

Catherine felt their admiration with

she had basked in the delight Of max

Sinclair's
Strategy.
By HENRY HAVEN.

''Our dance, | believe, Miss Trent
Dick Underby whisked Myra away,
and to Fred Sinclair, with declara-
ton of love trembling upon his tongue,
It seemed that Myra went with Ill
omened eagerness. Underby hurried
Myra off to the dancing floor, but Sin
clair remained in the conservatory and
made rude remarks to the tiny foUn-
tain playing in the fern lined basin.
All the season it had been a race be
tween himself and Underby for Myra s
favor. and now the season was closing
with the Dagmar dance. yet neither Of
the two men had been skillful enough
to evade Myra's innocent stratagems
and make his avowal of love.
Both had come TO the dance deter
mined to put his fate TO the test. for
on the morrow Myra was to leave town
for long visit to distant relatives.
Perhaps had there been but one sutton
his persistence might have been re-
warded by opportunity. but Underby
and Sinclair unconsciously aided Myra
in her evasions by interrupting the 9TH
er at crucial moments. When the last
dance had been played and the guests
were departing Sinclair realized. with
sinking heart, that his opportunity was
lost
Underby. too was heart heavy with
disappointment. and chagrin still show
ed in his face when he came to the
station the following afternoon to see

before her.
But in this though SIC was wong,
for, although the key was accompanied
by larger Dictionary and sic foa2d
the few rules aosu-jly simple, these
were but part of the mystery.
The book laid stress upon accents as
essential to the unde-stas lis Of tie
words, and Sinclair's lets,r was e.
tirely wanting in accents, nor could
she find some of his words in the die
tionary
1t was not until late in the afternoon
that she stumbled upon the expiana
ton. .Shlosilo'' she could not find.
but under the accented SIS she found
"slos." meaning a lock. and lilo an
instrument and decided that lock in
strument was key With this clew
as to the surplus his which replaced
the accents on preceding letters she
soon had the translation written out
1t read:
Dear Myra-Perhaps even with the aid
OF this key you viii have some small diff
nculty in getting at the sense this let
ter. but / know that you like to puzzle
over enigmas. and it is for this reason
that | am sending you this note. 1t is
to tell you what you will not let me tell
in person. | love you. dear, and you viii
make me the happiest man on earth with
the one word Yes"
Myra allowed the paper to fiutter to
the floor as she stared out of the win
dow on the glory of the western sun
set toward which they were flying.
She was half pleased, half angry. at
the declaration. This was her first sea-
son in society, and she was not mind
ed to give up her liberty so soon, and
for that reason she had evaded Sin.
clair's declarations. She did not wish
to say yes so soon, and she could
not say him no.
She remembered how Nancy Bald
win had been the belle of one season
and during the next had been almost
completely monopolized by Ben Trayer
Myra had planned to have another year
of freedom before she should be led
captive by Cupid.
But in the end an amused smile play
ed about her lips as she thought of
Sinclair's strategy. and when the porter
came through the car to light the gas
she procured a telegraph blank and
wrote out a one word message. Yes"
Her uncle was at the station the next
morning to greet her and to hand her
yellow envelope
This came just as l was leaving the
house" he said. Il hope that it does
not contain bad news"
Myra tore open the envelope and read
the short message.
Il am coming on" Sinclair wired.
Ito tell it over again in English and
pantomime."
Its good news-very good news"
said Myra. smiling softly, as she looked
up into her uncle's anxious face, for
after all. pantomime, not Esperanto. If
properly expressed. is the universal
language of love.
