If the non-smokers were to take only
A. Sc subjects, the work of the smokers,
their average standing would be 100.57
per cent. If the smokers were to at
tempt to do the work of the non-smok-
ers, their average standing would be
only 64.70 per cent.
These results prove conclusively that
the smoker (a) is more irregular in at
tendance, due to illness, and not being
of sufficient resisting power to stand
the work Of the school, (b) is unable to
carry the full quota of subjects in
school; (c) is unable to do as good work

smoker (d) He barely passes the
work undertaken, if he passes at all,
more often not passing. He does a
less quantity and a poorer quality of
work. The weakening action of tob-
acco on a growing mind is clearly dem
onstrated. The partly grown boy needs
all of his strength for intellectual de-
velopment and for his studies if he
would get the best from his school life.

TOBACCO'S EFFECT
ON HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS

The hurtful effects of tobacco on
scholarship has been noticed by many
teachers. This is not a new story.
The matter of a concrete illustration
taken from the records of work done
by smokers and non-smokers is new.
In order to bring the topic before the
students in a practical way, in a
morning talk, two lists of Is students
each were prepared. The students
were selected for these lists without
regard to grade, scholarship, age,
color, or any other condition than one.
One list consisted of Is boys known to
smoke The other list consisted of 25
boys known not to smoke. The school
records were then consulted and yielded
the following results:

She moved down into the deeper

The traveller turned as quickly as he
could. and she came after him. gaining
on him because he carried the heavy
sack and could not move as fast as
she. He felt his damp hair rising
with fear. for he believed that, after
all. she had brought him into a trap.
They reached the opening and came
out into the pool again.

he said. Your father and your broth

So he cooked his revolver and set
the muzzle against her head, TO kill
her, holding her by her slender throat
with his other hand; for they were in
shallow water and he had dropped the
sack In the pool.
Baraka did not struggle or cry out.

she said quite quietly.
He let her go. merely because she

her mother was in deep sleep; she

starlight, and she laid her head beside
his, on the sack that was his pillow,
and for a little while she was happy,
being near him, though he did not
know she was there. But presently
she remembered that her mother

CHAPTER ..

There Is q ruby mine hidden in the
heart OF the mountains near a remote
little city of central Asia. unknown
20 European travellers; and the secret
of the treasure belongs to the two
chief families of the place, and has
been carefully guarded for many gen.
erations, handed down through the
men from father to son; and often the
children of these two families have
married, yet none Of the women ever
learned the way to the mine from
their fathers. or their brothers, or
their husbands. none excepting one
only, and her name was Baraka,
which may perhaps mean Blessed"
but no blessing came to her when she
was born. She was much whittier and
much more beautiful than the other
girls of the little Tartar city; her face
was oval like an ostrich egg. her skin
was as the cream that rises on sleeps
milk at evening, and her eyes were
like the Pools of Peace in the Valley
of Dark Moons; her waist also was a
slender pillar of ivory. and round her
ankle she could make her thumb meet
her second finger; as for her feet,
they were small and quick and silent
as young mice. But she was not
blessed.
When she was in her seventeenth
year a traveller came to the little city,
who was not like her own people; he
was goodly to see, and her eyes were
troubled by the sight of him. for the
stranger was tall and very fair, and
his beard was. like spun gold. and he
feared neither man nor evil spirit, go
ing about alone by day and night.
furthermore. he was a great physi-
clan. and possessed a small book,
about the size of a mans hand, in
which was contained all the knowl-
edge of the world. By means of this
book. and three small buttons that
tasted OF mingled salt and sugar. he
cured Baraka's father of a mighty
pain in the midriff which had tor
mented him a whole week. He brought
with him also a written letter from a
holy man to the chiefs OF the town;
therefore they did not kill him,
though he had a good Mauser revol-
yer with ammunition. worth much
money. and other things useful to be-
lieyers.
Satan entered the heart OF Baraka,
and she loved the traveller who dwelt
In her fathers house. for she was not
blessed; and she stood before him In
zee way when he went out, and when
he returned she was sitting at the
door watching. and she took care to
show her cream-white arm and her
slender ankle. and even her beautiful
face when neither her father nor her
mother was near. Buk he saw little
and cared less, and was as grave as
her father and the othe: graybeards
OF the town.
When she perceived that he was not
moved by the sight of her. she watched
him more closely; for she said in her
girls heart that the eyes that are
blind to a beautiful woman see one of
three things: Gold. or power, or
heaven; but her sight was fixed Only
On him. Then her throat was dry, her
heart fiuttered in her maiden breast
like frightened bird, and sometimes,
when she would have tried to speak,
she felt as II her tongue were broken
and useless. the Gre ran lightly along
her delicate body, her eyes saw nutn-
ing clearly. aud a strange rushing
sound filed her ears; and then, all at
pnce. a fine dew wet her forehead and

bottom and narrowing to n sharp

spring that never failed nor even

which the two had reached the pool.

Fill the sack quickly. but do not take
more than you can carry, for they are
very heavy"
The traveller waded out upon the
beach, and the water from his clothes
ran down in small rivulets and made
little round holes In the white sand.
He put down his revolver in a dry
place, and both his hands felt for the
precious stones in the shadowy hol.

sort of brittle crust in which they
seemed to be clustered.

"for you cannot see, but I have been
here by daylight and have seen. The
largest are on the left side of the hol-
low, near the top"
BY the stars the traveller could see
the pieces a little. as he broke them
out, for the white rocks collected the
light; he could see many dark crys-
tails. but as to what they were he had
to trust the girl.

He broke up the crust OF crystals
with a small geologist's hammer and
tore them out like mailman. and his
hands were bleeding. for though he
was philosopher the thirst for wealth
had come upon him when he felt the
riches of empires In his grasp. and

he was very strong. be broke out
