When we had finished returning his parting salutes we saw Rance before us. He seemed very thoughtful. He had his ivory headed cane in his hand and was whistling. according to his habit and he looked at Mime. Edith with a strange expression.
 "I know exactly what you are think ing, sir," she said, 'and you may keep on thinking for aught care"
 She stepped near RouletabilIe.

 A little later I found myself in the lower parlor of la Louve tete-a-tete with Mime. Edith. attempted to re- assure her, seeing how restless and nervous she was. But she buried her pale face in her hands, and her trem- bling lips allowed the confession of her fears to escape them.

 I looked at Mime. Edith. Beads of precipitation stood. out on her fore death. Edith led the way toward the postern gate. The vault of this postern formed black arch in the light, and at the extremity of this tun- nel we perceived, facing us, Rouleta- bile and Darzac, who were standing at the edge of the inner court like two white statues. Rouletabille was hold ing in his hand Arthur Rance's ivory headed cane. Motioning with the cane. he showed Darzac something on the summit of the vault which we could not see, and then he pointed us out in the same way. We could not hear what he said. The two talked togeth- CT for few moments with their lips scarcely moving. like two accomplices in some dark secret. Mme Edith paused, but Rouletabille beckoned to her, repeating the signal with his cane.
 We went on until we reached the vault, and the others watched us with out making a movement to meet us.

that the whole tribe of them were in
reality the allies of your enemies and

would you do?
That is precisely the cast of you and
yours against Musca domestica, the

that the ordinary housewife finds her

The rse in cost is general. Meat
probably shows the greatest increase,
but flour, coffee vegetables and sugar
are all more expensive than they were

Sunday in Nevada.

Senator Newlands Of Nevada, tried
some oratorical sharp shooting in the
senate the other day at industrial con-
ditions in Pittsburg, of which one scan
dalous feature was the fact that many
mill men worked seven days in the
week His criticism aroused Senator
Oliver, of P.ttsburg, who responded
with what might be called, "An Ode to
Sunday in Nevada" to this effect:
For my sins 1 was condemned to
spend Sunday in the state of Nevada
within the last year, and 1 know there
is no such thing known as Sunday in
the state 1t is the universal custom
there to work seven days in the week.
I, myself, have some interests in that
state and my associates and 1 endeav
ored to induce the operatives to work
only six days in the week, but were
unable to do so, they saying that it
was the custom of the country to work
seven days, ana tndl tney ulu not KNOW
that there was such day as Sunday.

Would Place Foreigners.

1t is evident that Secretary Knox
is doing his utmost to secure any pos
sible advantage, under the maximum
and minimum arrangement of the tariff
bill, whereby he may cultivate the good
graces of foreign countries that are
disposed to retaliate against American
products if their own are seriously af-
fected by the Payne bill.
This phase of the problem is left
almost entirely to the state department
Senators and congressman fight for
high or low rates as the case may be,
without appearing to give much con-
siderati to the possibility that the
products of Their regions may be shut
out of foreign markets by tariff rear
engagements. That there will be disap-
pointments in this respect is not merely
a possibility. 1t is extremely likely
The state department has taken the
initial step of notifying foreign govern
ments with which the United States has
reciprocal trade agreements of it's in
tention to terminate them. 1t is prob
able that none will become inoper-
ative until year after the notification
in order that preference shall be given

countries in question. 1t was Secretary

may have an opportunity to accomplish
greater results.
Conditions in Panama.
Health conditions on the Isthmus of
Panama, which have been one of the
governments wonderful achievements
in connection with the work on the ca
nal, are favorable to an extraordinary
degree. Colonel w c. Gorgas who
converted the disease infested zone into
the most healthful region in the tropics
is bringing about steadily improved
conditions. Last month there was not
single death from typhoid fever on
the isthmus. 1t is doubtless true that
no area in any of the great nations
of the world having as large a popula-
ton can make miiar boast No case
of smallpox, plague or yellow fever
developed on the isthmus, although all
those diseases prevail in the ports north
and south of the zone. The deaths
among the employees were at the rate
of SIS per thousand and the death rate
for the total population was the lowest
reported since American occupation
the zone is decidedly unhealthful To-
cality for the warriors of the prize ring
Sandy Odom. an American negro and
Arthur Best Barbadian, were con-
victed on the charge of prize fighting.
Sandy was fined $500 and sentenced
to serve Is months at hard labor Best
