not know the man she was to deliver
into the hands Of his eXecutiOners- she
saw a man Of IS, looking not a day
older than %, tall, slender, masculine
and elegant, who wore continuous
ironicaI smile and Maria looked at him
in surprise, for she had expected to find
him quite different. He caught sight OF
her, admired her and asked to be intro
duced.
A week later she had become his
mistress and two months later she was
preparing to carry out the task con-
fided to her.
She had rented studio in the neigh
bOrhooG Of Pont Royal for she had
been introduced to the colonel as a
Finnish student who had come to Paris
to study painting, and he who sus-
pected everybody, seemed TO trust her
completely just because she was beau
tiful and pleasant to him. 4

w. A. Patterson, a mining engineer
and f. p. Lint, owner of a group of
claims on Marshall lake, who return
ed from the camp yesterday. report
that most of the ground is returning
as high as $40 in gold dust to the Gu
bic yard. Virgin gold was the prin-
cipal medium of exchange in the day
when Florence had the reputation OF
being the richest and toughest min
ing camp in the Northwest, and 1t i:
thought that the rich finds are the
result of the dust falling from the
scales and sitting through the crack:

houses and dance halls in the earl!

Perret, the worlds leading Volcano
list, saw at flaming Kilauea, on the
island of Hawaii, on August "a.
Professor Perret, Of Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology at Boston,
who knows more about volcanoes than
any other living man and who recent
ly measured the heat of the boiling
lava pit of Halemaumau, within the
crater of Kilouea, observed the phe-
nomenon, one SO extreme hat even
his scientific statement describing it
end like a page of Jules Verne or Nov
elist Wells.
The wonderful floating island Of
the boiling lava pit Of Halemauamu,
(meaning a house Of fire. which vas
a feature of the volcano for some
months, began to disappear on Mon
day, August 81, n by the following
Thursday night it had become SO eat
en- up by the heat of the surrounding
liquid lava that the surface cracked
into lines of fire. Then it sank and
its place on the fire lake was taken
by a gigantic bubble of l~ava-glass,
which stretched n bulged until it
covered a section of the boiling lake
over 300G square feet.
This huge black bubble. propelled
by a fire fountain, then n~avigated
the length Of the great lava sea, even
tually glowing into a huge incandes-
cent globe lit with the fires of Old
Faithful, as the lava geyser is called
which appears always in the same
place n can be always depended up
on to blow nd discharge whenever a
party of tourists visits the volcano.
The final sinking and disappear
ance of the burnig lava island is de-
scribed as extraordinarily sensation
al by Professor Perret.. He observed
that the black crust of the island
was cracked and assured in all direc-
tons, showing a bright glare below,
and he got ready for an important
change. For this purpose he stayed
up all night and watched intently. He
was well rewarded for his vigil, for
he says:
"An extraordinary object was seen
floating far out in the ENTER of the
lava lake. A huge, sausage-shaped,

glass, triangular and ~box-shaped at

was making it's way across the lake.
A lava fountain boiling continuously
under the eastern end gave the APP
p%earance of a screw propeller, and
this most amazing contrivance SEEM
ed to be navigating the lake under its
own power like a great w~haleback
steamer or a black Zeppelin airship.
Its length was not less than 10 feet
and the cylindrical portion about 80
feet in diameter. After nearing the
western bank 1t was driven back by
a current.

REMEDY
DARKENS THE HAIR

From time immemorial, sag and
sulphur have been used for the hair
and scalp. Almost everyone knows of
the value of such a combination for
d%arkening the hair, for curing dand-
ruff and falling hair, and for making
the hair grow.
IN olden times the only way to get
n hair tonic of this sort was to brew
1t in the home fireplace, a method
which was troublesome and not al.
ways satisfactory. Nowadays almost
every up-to-date druggist can supply
his patrons with a ready-to-use pro-
duct, skillfully compounded in per
fectly equipped laboratories. The
Wyeth Chemical company of New
York put up an ideal remedy of this
sort, called Wyeth's Sage and sulphur
Hair Remedy, n authorize drug
gists to sell 1t under a guarantee that
the money will be refunder If 1t fails
to do exactly as represented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and is
recommended and sold by Pendleton
Drug Co.
