Basil smiled and said nothing. occu-
pied in watching the great man. He
saw him speak a few words here and
there, and then stroll up to the large
open fireplace close to which he him
self was sitting with his father. Ba-
sill studied the face attentively. With
all its manly beauty and health there
was. he thought, something a little
strained and grave about it-some-
thing of stress and expectation. AS
he was watching Michael Grant one
OF the club walters entered with a let
ter upon a tray, which he handed to
the athlete. Grant tore it open, read
it quickly, and motioned the man
away. He stood for a moment tap
ping his foot upon the ground as IL
in thought. Then he tore up the note,
threw it into the fire and left the
room.
A few minutes afterwards Sir Her
cules and his son, who were dining
out together, rose to go-the admiral
to his chambers in the Albany, Basil
to rooms in Jermyn street which he
had taken for the period of his leave.
The admiral took GU a cigar as he
got up, and went to the mantelpiece
above the fireplace where Grant had
been standing, upon which there was
a silver methyl lamp for smokers to
light their cigar or cigarette. Basil
followed him and took a cigarette
from his case himself. The admiral
lit his cigar, when his eye fell upon
the tiled hearth of the fire below.
One small piece of paper from Grants
note had escaped the flames. 1t bore
a ducal coronet in black and part of
the address-"10Oa, Plead"
by Jove!" the admiral said, nudg-
ing his son and looking down at the
scrap Of paper. Look at that. Basil.
I'm sure l did not want to see it, but
| couldn't help it. That note which
the waiter brought in just now was
from our friend the duchess of Lon
don"
The old gentleman gave a satisfied
smile as he walked away.
Basil, with a curious feeling which
he could not exactly define, picked up
the little piece of paper and threw
1t into the fire. Then he followed Sir
Hercules out of the club.

Mrs. Mary Melser, First in Lottery,
Refuses Hundreds Of Suitors.

nCIhSCS EISii1i SSS
All eyes in South Dakota turn to
buxom May Melser of Kennebec, for
mer schoolma'am and ranch owner,
now in the limelight as the lucky
woman who drew No. 1 in Uncle
Sans big land lottery of Trip coun-
ty homesteads. When at 9 o'clock on

i've c~laimholders line up to select the
quarter section they like the best,
Mrs. Melser will head the procession.
This plucky young woman, who is a
product of the breezy prairies, already
has spotted" what is said to be the
best parcel of land in the list. She
will establish residence upon her
farm Immediately. She has already
made arrangements to have it plowed
and will put it into fax.
Since she drew the lucky number
Mrs. Melser has had hundreds of Of
fers of marriage. The first thing she
did was to divorce her husband on
grounds Of infidelity. However, she
has not seemed impressed with any Of
her numerous s~uitors, and as she Is
abundantly self-reliant she will run
her own ranch to suit herself.
She is thirty-two years old, has
brown eyes and light hair and is Of
medium height and rather plump.
She received a good education, and
for five years taught school in Doug
las county.

plications for homesteads at this
opening. Six thousand of these names
were drawn, but man Of the last few
thousands will not attempt to prove
up on claims. It is declared there are
not more than 5000 claims of value.

CHILD ATE cUTicURA OINTMENT.
Spread Whole Box Of II on Crackers
Mot the Least Injury Resulted.
C~uticura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.

A New York friend Of Cuticura
writes:
My three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on a trip across
the Atlantic, investigated the state
room and located a box of graham
crackers and a box Of Cuticura ONT
ment. When a search was made for
the box, it was found empty and the
kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents of the entire box spread on
the crackers. 1t cured him Of a bad
cold and l don't know what else"
No more conclusive evidence could
be offered that every ingredient of Gu
ticura Ointment is absolutely pure,
sweet and harmless. If it may be
safely eaten by a young child, none but
the most beneficial results can be ex-
pected to attend its application to

JUDGE DEFENDS FENCE CASE.
Railroads Not Bound 10 Build Along
Right Of Way In South Dakota.

In the Pennington county circuit
court at Rapid City Judge Levi Nc
Gee rendered a decision on the rail-
road fence question which is of inter
est all over the state, and especially
In the newspaper sections on the west
side of the river. The substance OF
the ruling is that a railroad company
is not bound to fence its right OF way,
except where a land owner has three
sides of his land already fenced, and
in cases where the right Of way is not
fenced the railroad company Is not
liable for damages for stock killed.
The case at issue vas that OF
Frank Hart, who sought to recover
$50 for the killing Of a horse near
the town Of Scenic. This was a test
suit, for there are thousands OF dol
lars of claims for similar damages
against the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway company and the Pierre,
Rapid City & Northwestern Railway
company in Western South Dakota.
Judge MCGEE held that the double
damage law passed by the 1907 legis-
lature was not applicable in cases of
this kind, and is probably unconstitu-
tional and void. He held that the
prior fence law is still the law in this
state, and that railroad companies
hn nn11nd tn fnnnn their
right of way only after sixty days no
tice has been given by the land own
err, that three sides of his land is al
ready fenced.
The case has still another bearing
in Pennington county, where an open
range still exists, for If the railroad
companies were to fence their right
of way the cattle range would be d.
vided.

BROADWAY CHEFS SKEPTIC.
Texas Feast Of Hummine Birds
Tongues Called a Grand Bluff.

Texas Feast Of Hummine Birds
Tongues Called a Grand Bluff.
Chefs of the restaurants along
Broadway were stirred when they
were told of a dispatch from Texas
about the dish of humming birds
tongues to be served at a banquet in
San Antonio. They fumed and they
sputtered as they thumbed the we'll
worn pages of cook books handed
down by generations of white aproned
ancestors. To be beaten by prairie
cooks from the Rio Grande was
enough to rufie the calmest temper
at the range.
It's re one grand fakaire!" shouted
a fat little man amid the rattle and
clatter of pots and pans. "Humming
birds tongues. Bah! ley are like
the toothpick in re pie. To make one
bite, 500!"
Five hundred dollars?" he was
asked.
"Humming birds, 500, to catch them,
yes? Take re week, re month to get
re mouthful."
Another chef, with moustachios, eye-
brows an dhands elevated, exclaimed:
Impossible. The feasts of the Ro-
man emperors have humming bird
tongue, maybe. Texas do it? No. II
New Orleans, perhaps. But a dish
like this from the land of the frying
pan. No, no, no! A hundred times
not. Mutton grease and humming
birds, never. Canard! What you call
in your American poker, the grand
bluff"

SISTERS TRICK
But It All Came Out Right.

How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to a coffee fiend Is
an interesting tale:
Il vas a coffee fiend-a trembling.
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. l Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
"One day my sister substituted .
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what it was. / noticed the richness of
it and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell mt
| was drinking Postum for fear / might
not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
| grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes. then she told
me of the h~ealth-giving, nerve
Strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place Of .my morning coffee.
From that time / became a disciple Of
Postum and no words can do Justice
in telling the good this cereal drink
did me. l will not try to tell 1t, for
only after having used it can n be
convinced of its merits"

er to rebuild what coffee has de-
stroyed. There's a Reason"

LOST IN A MOVING BOG.
Started by Floods an Irish Peat Boo
Carries All Before Il.

w T'OooS an ITlSn Peat Bog
Carries All Before It.
A peculiar catastrophe in the shape
OF n moving bog recently occurred in
Galway, according to the Queen.
No one who has visited the scene
ear have any idea of its horror and
misery. The district is at all times
subject to floods, but when these
floods are accompanied by tons upon
tons OF moving bog travelling at the
rate Of about five miles an hour the
consequences cannot fail to be terri
BILE and disastrous beyond all concep-
ton.
Unlike most Of the former bog
slides, there were in the present in
stance absolutely no premonitory
signs Of the dreadful upheaval. the
recent heavy rains being generally re-
garded as the of the calamity.
No one seems to have seen the actual
bursting of the bounds within which
the peat had been confined, the first
intimation of what was happening be-
ing the strange and Aiming sounds
which reused the farmer Martin from
sleep only to find his cottage partially
surrounded by the oncoming torrent
of water and peat.
He succeeded in warning most of
his neighbors with the exception Of
one poor old widow, whose cottage
was almost instantly swallowed up.
Mercifully no other lives have been
lost, but many families have been left
homeless and destitute.

LARGEST OF HONEY BEE FAMILY.
Found In PhilIpplnes-Builds on the
Outside Of Trees-Works Nights.

~~'~ !" VII kVo
Outside Of Trees-Works Nights.
Apis, z~onata, or the large Philip
pine bee, builds on the outside of the
tree instead Of the inside, as other
bees do. usually on the under side of
a slanting tree or branch. They are
not migratory as the Borneo and In
dian bees are, o do they. always Sc
lect high trees to avoid honey bears
as their Borneo cousins have to do.
They frequently store several pounds
OF good honey, yet they are greater
wax producers. They are exceedingly
vicious when disturbed, often follow
ing their disturbers several minu IS.
This bee Is probably the largest and
also the strongest Of the entire honey
bee family. Its wing power Is about
double that of the Italian bee, while
1t lives several times as long. and a
sting or two from 1t will ause a per-
son to see stars in broad daylight.
Their combs sometimes attain four or
five feet in diameter, and are entire
ly covered with a thick mass of bees
arranged as the shingles are on the
roof of a house, their wings pointing
downward.
This bee Is a true Filipino, that is,
it sleeps during the hottest part of the
day and also on dark nights, though
it works very diligently during the
early morning and the evening hours.
while on moonlight nights 1t frequent
ly works all night. 1t is doubtless the
only honey bee that is partially noe
turnal.
