Courage Of Copper Holders.
The courage Of a very large number of
specialists in copper is inspiriting in the
highest degree. They are utterly un-
mindful of the present unfavorable condi-
tions in the copper metal market and in
the copper trade. They are fully con-
vinced that activity in the copper manu-
featuring lines will be one of the first
signs of returning prosperity on the broad
scale. In their minds eyes they see all

lines to the extent of tens of thousands
of miles within the next few years. In

can say it is Overdrawn.
The government crop report does not
quite agree with the information which
comes from the railroad offices. The rail
roads have it that the agricultural out
look Is in the main up to the average
and that there is every reason to believe
in good crops. 1t is, of course. early yet
to form judgment in this matter, as the
best of experts can only look at the
ground upon which. the two great crops,
corn and spring wheat, are yet to be
planted. 1t is just as well, however, to
take the cheerful view, as the Lord can
usually be depended on to see that the
soil yields enough to keep the people
alive. w. G. NICHOLAS.

CHAPTER TX.

Logotheti reached his lodgings In
st. James place at six o'clock in the
evening of the day on which he had
promised to dine with Van Torp, and
the latter's note Of excuse was given
to him at once. He read it, looked
out Of the window, glanced at it again,
and threw it into the waste-paper
basket without another thought. He
did not care in the least about din
ing with the American millionaire. In
fact, he had looked forward to it rath-
er as bore than pleasure. He saw
on his table, with his letters, a nat
and almost square parcel, which the
addressed label told him contained
the Archaeological Report of the
Egyptian Exploration Fund, and he
had heard that the new number would
contain an account of papyrus re-
Gently discovered at Oxyrrhynchus, on
which some new fragments of Pin
dar had been found. No dinner that
could be devised, and no company
that could be asked to meet him at
1t, could be half as delightful as that
to the man who so deeply loved the
ancient literature of his country, and
he made up his mind at once that he
would not even take the trouble to go
to q club, but would have a bird and
. salad in his rooms.
Unhappily for his peace and his an
ticipated feast of poetry, he looked
through his letters to see If there
were one from Margaret, and there
was only a colored postcard from Bay
reuth, with the word greetings"
scrawled beside the address in her
large hand. Next to the card, how
ever, there was q thick letter ad-
dressed in q commercial writing he
remembered but could not at once
identity: and though 1t was apparent
ly business communication, and
could therefore have waited till the
next morning, when his secretary
would come as usual, he opened 1t out
of mere curiosity to know whence It
came.
It was from Mr.. Pinney. the jewel

Brixton Jail. The envelope contained
also . cutting from the newspaper
similar to the one Margaret had Re-
eeived from Lady Maud.

table and looked at his watch. It

huge leathern face was perfectly inn

surveyed her without winking. She
had never seen such stolidity in Q
human being.
There was clearly nothing to be

distinctly rude; but as that was no
reason why she should be, she bade
him good-morning civilly and turned
to go. Somewhat to her surprise, he
followed her quickly across the room.
opened the door for her and went
on into the little hall to let her out.
There was a small table there, on
which lay some of Logothetis hats,
and several pairs of gloves were laid
out neatly before them. There was
one pair, Of light gray, very much
smaller than all the rest, so small, In
deed, that they might have fitted u
boy OF seven, except that they looked
too narrow for any boy. They were
mems gloves as to length and buttons.
but only q child could have worn
them.
Lady Maud saw them instantly, and
remembered Baraka's disguise; and
as she passed the big umbrella jar
to go out, she saw that with two OF
Logotheti's sticks there was . third,
fully four inches shorter! Just a plain
crook-handled stick with silver ring.
That was enough. Baraka had Ger.
tainly been in the lodgings and had
probably left In them everything that
belonged to her disguise. The fact
that the gloves and the stick were IN
the hall looked very much as II she
had come in dressed as a man and
had left them there when she had
gone away in woman's attire. That
she was with Logotheti, most prob
ably on his yacht, Lady Maud had not
the least doubt. as she went down the
stairs.
The Swiss secretary stood at the
open door on the landing till she was
out of sight below, and then went
in again, and returned to work over
q heap of business papers and letters.
When he had worked half an hour, he
leaned back in his leathern chair to
rest, and stared fxedly at the book.

English, as If Lady Maud were still in
the room, In the same dull, matter of.

and watched her chance, though how
old Pinney can have left such a thing

could take 1t is simply Incompetent
sible. That's what you heard in my
voice when I said that men are credu-

Mr.. Van Torp thought he had heard
even more in her accent when she
had pronounced Logotheti's name. Be-
sides, she generally called him LOGO"
as all his friends did. The American
said nothing for a moment, but he
glanced repeatedly at the white veil,
through which he saw her handsome
features without their expression.

himself, for he hardly expected her to
understand the language of his sur

slowly to look at him. "She tells me

Does she really?" Van Torp had
guessed as much. and had wished to
undermine the surprise he supposed
that Margaret had in store for him.
That's just like her straightforward
way of doing things. She told me
frankly that she wouldn't lift a finger

The conclusion of the speech
seemed to be out Of the logical Sc

HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.
Oil of Wintergreen, ThymoI, Glycerine,
Etc, Used as Simple Wash.

1t really seems strange that so many
people suffer year in and year out
with eczema, when it is now no longer
a secret that oil of wintergreen mixed
with thymol glycerine, etc, makes a
wash that is bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it is true, cam
not be cured in few days, but there
is absolutely no sufferer from eczema
who ever used this simple wash AMI
did not find Immediately that wonder
fully soothing, calm, cool sensation
that comes when the itch is taken
away. Instantly upon applying a few
drops Of the wash the remedy takes eff
feet, the itch is allayed. There is no
need of experiment-the patient knows
at once.
Instead of trying to compound the
oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine,
etc, in the right proportions ourselves
we are using a prescription which is
universally found the most effective. It
is known as the d. d. D. Prescription.
or Oil of Wintergreen Compound. 1t
