quickly. Lady Creech. who had been
in a semi-swooning condition. came
suddenly out of her trance and gazed

said sharply and rose to her feet.
With a withering glance at Pike she
turned to Ethel.

Lady Creech." he said. II will look
after her-in the future"
Lady Creech put up her lorgnette
and stared at him and with naughty
sniff left the room with the air of a
conqueror. Pike gazed after her whlm-
sicaly.
There goes the last Of the en-
presses" he said and looked down at
his feet
Twice Ethel essayed to speak. and
twice she put out her hand in his di-
rection. and both times she failed.
Then. with a choking little sob. she
picked up her dress and fairly ran
from the room Horace followed her
quickly. and still Pike stood there in
an attitude of incomprehension.
The point he had striven for had
failed. He had shown this girl the
true rottenness of the people she had
tried so hard TO ally herself with, and
the knowledge had failed to move her.
His brilliant plan had recoiled upon
his own head and had resulted In more
firmly implanting a sense of duty in
her heart. He saw no way out now.
At first 1t had been a deslre-now it
had become u duty. and he wondered
IL he had the right to withhold from
her her patrimony.
1t was not until he saw dark
figure with bag In its hand walk
quickly down the steps and out through
the entrance garden. not until he had
heard the creak of carriage springs

awoke. He called passing servant

small midland town. My friend was
elected. and among his congratulatory
visitors on election night was Il shah
by chap smoking clay.
This chap slapped my rich friend
on the back, shook both his hands vio
lently and congratulated him in a loud
voice-a loud, hearty voice. little
thick perhaps with ale.

he tried to free his hands, which were
being shaken so violently that he quiv-

an ozone club among the show girls of
New York, urged a reporter to write
about this club an article full Of warm
praise.

increase the beauty and the longevity
of show girls. One Of its rules is that
members must exercise two hours n
day. Another is that they must sleep
eight hours. They mustn't be out of
bed after midnight. I've been told
that since the Ozone clubs formation
all the Broadway restaurants have
lacked the pretty and gay faces of the

TROPICAL INSECTS.
The Tarantua Is the One Most to Be
Dreaded.

The Tarantula Is the One Most to Be
Dreaded.
Excepting only the tarantula, the
crawling insects of the tropics are not
really dangerous, though they are
more than unpleasant, sufficiently so
to make every one wary, and an i'll
stipctive watchfulness becomes after
time habitual. 1T is only matter of
being careful and dangerous stings can
be avoided. The sting Of scorpion is
sharp and painful. Rapid swelling
follows till a great lump is formed at
and about the wound, the glands often
become swollen and painful. and the
tongue swells so that speech may be-
come difficult. The pain lasts from
two to twenty-four hours, usually
about day, and it is exceptional if
any serious effects follow.
The centiped attacks by buryinG
it's sharp feet in the flesh and then
biting with it's jaws INJECTING deep
wounds. Often it goes on crawling
rapidly over the flesh, puncturing it
with burning. needlclike feet, biting
continually, it's jaws buried deep in
the flesh with vigorous rapdity. This
Is q serious affiiction. The sores, like
burning blisters, are open for days,
and where centiped has walked and
bitten the flesh a livid sore develops,
leaving a deep scar witness to the
pain inflicted. Sometimes even gan
creme may set in, and then death is
apt to follow in a few days. Thus
wound from centiped unattended
easily becomes serious. The cent?
ped's back Is so smooth and its mus
Giles so supple that to check it under
ones clothing requires fortitude which
could press a redhot iron against the
naked flesh. Relax the hand for an
instant and the centiped slips away
to continue it's course over the body.
The result is not easily described. The
screams of q person so attacked attest
the pain, and we dread the centipeds.
l have seen them in the jungles over
a foot long and about three inches
broad. Usually they are less than half
this size, and fortunately their attacks
are rare. There are smaller cent?
peds, and bad enough it is to be bit
ten by them. but it is the big fellows
in the woods which we dread.
OF all the insects which crawl about
in the tropics the tarantua is most to
be dreaded. 1t sinks it's fanglke jaws
deep In the flesh, and a poison which
oozes out around them Is carried into
the wound. The soft body OF the
spider permits 1t to be easily killed.
and if there is a way open for escape
the tarantula will take it, perhaps not
biting at all. One bite ii gives. seldom
more. and this is sufficient. Days of
suffering. must be endured, and death
may occur. Violent swelling follows
the bite of a tarantula and atflicts all
that part of the body which has be.
bitten. At times the flesh becomes
discolored. and with the intense pain
form of paralysis develops which
may result In death. If, however, the

using the machine without the
knowledge of his employer.
