CHAPTER XVIII.
rhe Lady of the White Butterflies.

fhe Lacy OF the white Butterflies.
The twitter of swallows in the caves
Weakened me to the first light of day,
and after l had taken a dip in the
creek l still seemed to be sole pro
prietor of the world, so quiet lay field
and woodland. l followed the lake
shore to a fishermen's camp, where il
the good comradeship of outdoor men
the world owe l got bread and coffee
and no questions asked / smoked a
pipe with h fishermen to kill time,
and it was still but a trif1e after six
o'clock when l started for Red Gate.
A line of sycamores 200 yards to my
right marked the bed of the Tippeca-
noe; and on my left hand, beyond a
walnut grove, a little flmy dust-cloud
hung above the hidden highway. /
thrust my car into my jacket pocket
and stood watching the wind crisp the
flowers. Then my attention wandered
20 the mad antics of a squirrel that
an along the fence.

l laughed, pleased to find that my
delay annoyed him. l was confident
that he was not abroad at this hour
for nothing, and it again occurred to
me that we were on different sides of
the matter. My WEAKNESS fell from
me like a cloak, as the events Of the
past hour flashed fresh in my mind.
Now" l said, dropping the rein and
patting the horses nose for a moment,
you may go with me or you may sit
here; but if you would avoid trouble
don't try to interfere with me-"
| did not doubt that he had been
sent to watch me; and his immediate
purpose seemed to be to detain me.
Il had hoped you would sit down
and talk V the Monroe Doctrine, or
equally interesting, he remarked. You
disappOint me, my dear benefactOr."
And you make me very tired at the
end of a tiresome day, Gillespie.
Please continue to watch my horse;
I'm off"
He kept at my elbow, as l expected
he would, babbling away with his usu-
al ~vOlubility in an effort, now frank
enough, to hold me back; but 1 ig-
nored his talk and plunged on through
the wood toward the creek. Henry
HOlbrOok must, l argued, have had
time enough to get out of the creek
and back to the island; but what mis-
chief Gillespie was furthering in his
behalf | could not imagine
There was a gradual rise toward the
creek and we were obliged to cling to
the bushes in making our ascent. Sud-
denly, as l paused for breath, Giles
pie grasped my arm.
For Gods sake, stop, This is no
affair of yours. On my honor there's
nothing that affects you here"
Il will see whether there is or not"
| exclaimed, throwing him off, but he
kept close beside me.
We gained the trail that ran along
the creek, and l paused to listen.
"Where's our launch?'
Find it," he replied, succinctIy.
| had my bearings pretty we'll, and
set off toward the lake, Gillespie
trudging behind in the narrow path.
When we had gone about 20 yards a
lantern glimmered below and | heard
voices raised in excited colloquy. Gil
lespie started forward at a run.
Keep back, This is my AFFAIR.""
I'm making it mine," l replied, and
flung in ahead of him.
l ran forward rapidly, the voices
growing louder, and soon heard men
stumbling and falling about in conflict.
A woman's voice now rose in a sharp
cry:
Let go of him! LIE go of him."
Gillespie flashed by me down the
bank to the waters edge, where the
struggle ended abruptly. l was not far
behind, and l saw Henry Holbrook in
the grasp of the Italian, who was ex-
planning to the woman, who held the
lantern high above her head, that he
was only protecting himself. Gillespie
had caught hold of the sailor, who
continued to protest his innocence of
any wish to injure Holbrook; and for
a moment we peered through The dark,
taking account of one another.
so it's you, is it," said Henry Hol-
brook as the Italian freed him and his
eyes fell on me. L should like to
know what you mean by meddling in
my affairs. BY God, I've enough to do
With my own flesh and blood without
dealing with outsiders"

Pure iron is only a laboratory prepa-
ration. Cast iron. the most generally
useful variety, contains about five per
cent. Of impurities, and the curious
thing is that it owes its special value
to the presence of these. Pure iron
can b. shaved with a pocket knife;
impure iron can be made almost as
hard as steel.

approximately 5billion similar con-
versation reported in 1902 At the
close of 1907 the amount of wire used
by the telephone systems of the
county exceeded that in use in 1902
by more than eight million miles
The industry gave regular employ
ment to 65,417 more persons in 1907
than it did five years earlier and the
amount expended in salaries and
wages was greater by 32,023,5O6
in 1907 than in 1902. The tele
phone industry of the country is di-
vided into two great classes one
known as the Bell and the
other as the Independent or nom
Bell. The Bell system in 1907 oper-
rated 2, 986, SIS miles. The first
telegraph line in United States was
opened to business. in 1874 and
thirty-two years later the telephone
was introduced. The telephone bust
ness has increased more rapidly than
the telegraph since that time.

Millions Spent On Frauds.

Over $15,0O0,OOO annually poured
into the Golfers of those who exploit
and advertise fake consumption
cures, according to a statement
issued by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis; and for this vast sum
the victims receive nothing in return,
but are often permanently injured
and in the majority of cases cheated
out of the real chance for cure.
Worse still, most of this money is
paid by those who can least afford
it.
The National Association has in
vestigated several hundred so-called
cures" and treatment" for tubercu-
losis now being advertised through
out the country, and finds that more
than $3,000,000 year is being spent
in soliciting the patronage of the
public. On examination, it has been
found that the great majority of
these cures" contain harmful and
habit-forming drugs, such as NOR
phine, opium and chloroform. None
of them will cure consumption.
The only cure for this disease that
has ever been discovered is the COM
bination of fresh air and wholesome
food. All of the cures" that attempt
to destroy the tubercle bacillus with
out these or to stop the progress of
the disease in some mysterious way
are branded as frauds and imposi-
tons.
Three classes of cures are dis
tinguished by the National Associa-
ton. In the first-class are included
devices and drugs which can be
bought for any sum ranging from
ten cents to five dollars at a drug
store The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has just issued
bulletin in which some of the most
used of these drugs and remedies
are analysed and condemned. The
second class of cures" includes the
institutes, professors or compan
les of doctors, who for a consider
alton guarantee to cure consump
by some secret method of which
they are the sole proprietDrs. Their,
are nearly one hundred and fifty o
these institute frauds in the Unite(
States, cheating the people out o
millions of dollars annually.
In the third class of cures" ar,
placed a number of homemade rem
edies, which either through ignor
ance or superstition have been ad
vanced as treatments for tuberculo
sis. Some of these are onions, lem
ons, rattlesnake poison, coal dust
lime dust, pigs blood, dog oil, mill
"strippings, and even alcohol. These
will not cure consumption declares
the National Association. No drug
I gas or other material has yet beer
discovered, which, when eaten, in
hailed or injected inte the body, will
kill the Germs of tuberculosis. Fresh
air. which contains more oxygen
than any substance known, will de-
Stroy the germs of tuberculosis. if it
is breathed continuously for a long
enough period, and if rest and
wholesome food are employed a
the same time to build up the body
