At this moment we heard a step upon
the stairs.
"Be ready" said Dupin, with your
pistols, but neither use them nor show
them until at a signal from myself"
The front door of the house had been
left open, and the visitor had entered
without ringing, and advanced several
steps upon the staircase. Now, however,
he seemed to hesitate. Presently we heard
him descending. Dupin was moving
quickly to the door when we again heard
him coming up. He did not turn back a
second time, but stepped up with decision,

and hearty tone.
A man entered. He was a sailor, evil

ing person, with a certain daredevil ex-
preston of countenance not altogether
unprepossessing. His face, greatly sun
burnt, was more than half hidden by
whisker and mustach. He had with
him huge oaken cudgel, but appeared to
be otherwise unarmed He bowed awk-

DIR. wILEY's WORK.

The people or this country are
beginning seriously TO inquire II
there Is not a conspiracy on foot,
aided and abetted by the president
OF the United States, TO overthrow
and discredit DR.. Harvey w. Wiley,
chief OF the bureau Of chemistry, be-
cause he is administering the pure
food laws with conscientious zeal
which impinges upon some of the
trusts which the interests would like
10 have protected.
He has taken the position that
benz0ate of soda, used as a food
preservative, is deleterious. He has
made careful tests and observations
on his own poison squad and the
results have fully borne out his con-
rentions.
But the president OF the United
states, moved by the appeals of the
interests, has appointed another
commission to investigate the matter
and this commission reports that
Dr. Wiley is all wrong; that ben
z0ate OF soda is not deleterious.
they even leave us under the i'm
preston almost that il is rather
AEACAlAdA IMAM OAuGE Wise.
The discussion has aroused a
number of partisans on both sides,
but there are thousands OF physi-
clans and chemists, by no means
prejudieed in the matter, who in
dorse Dr. Wiley's contention, and
indeed the weight of opinion seems
10 be with him.
Since the findings OF Mr.. Roose-
velt's commission it has been sug-
gested that Dr. Wiley might feel
called upon to resign. 1t is hoped
that he viii do no such thing. He
has the support of the country at
large. The life and health Of tho
people is too important to be jeopar-
s.4zed and If there is any reason to
believe that the trusts are using a
deleterious substance as a food
preservative IL should be prohibited.
DR.. Wiley is not on trial. II is
the overzealOus critics who are
under suspicion, and it is hoped he
will remain where he is and continue
the work he has carried on so web
thus far.

A SEARCH FOR CINDERELLA.


Her feet beneath her pettieoat
Like little mice stole in and out"
At any rate that was the kind of
foot requisite to secure admission to
the chorus of "A Stubborn Cinder-
ella" which a New York manager
has just put on the stage, but IL he
ever RECEIVERS from the nervous pros
tration superinduced by the effort to
find an octette of such pairs of feet
his next effort viii probably be to
stage Big Foot Wallace"
In order to conform to the snug
fitness of things it was decreed That
every member of the chorus of the
musical comedy in question should
have a foot which could go into a
shoe No. 13A.
That isn't much of a shoe.
You could toast the bride several
times from a slipper like that and
not get very tipsy.
| so, naturally, 1T was not an easy
matter to secure eight young maid
ems in New York city whose pedal
extremities were so insignificant. 1t
is estimated that only one in thirty
thousand could meet the specifica-
tlons.
But the size of the shoe was not
all. She had to be exactly five feet
four inches high and weigh just one
hundred and twenty-five pounds. So
the difficulty of finding these para
CONS was proportionately increased.
After measuring and surveying
scores upon scores OF New York
young women, only one was found
who could meet the requirements.
And then the news travelled to
Chicago that New York manager
wanted girls with small feet. 1t
sounded like a joke that anybody
should go to Chicago looking for
small feet, but as soon as the news
spread abroad in the Windy City
fifteen merry villagers who could
wear a 1SA boarded the train and
went to New York.
And seven of them were accepted.
We were about to omit the impor-
tant specification that the candidate
should not be less than twenty-one
years old. on reflection, that was
probably the hardest of all the re-
uuirements to meet. OF course there
are chorus ladies more than twenty
one years of age, but they exist
chiefly in the comic supplements of
the newspapers. No one ever saw
one on the stage or saw any one who
had seen one.
And yet this enterprising manager
has succeeded in finding eight of
them with the added charm of small
feet, multiplied by the mystery as
to how they came to be living in
Chicago!
The "Florodora" sextet was a
bunch of beauties which made a
name for themselves. They made
enough noise in the world, sooner or
later, to have been the eleven
thousand virgins OF Cologne.
But they have gradually passed
from the public view, and now comes
on the. Cinderella" chorus, and no
man knows the havoc which may yet
be wrought by those twinkling feet
in the shoes only No. 13A.
