Music of the Drum.

All musical authorities have agreed
that when used in a proper way the
drum ia thoroughly musical. The COM
mon snare or side drum Is freely used
in musicat composition. A large num-
ber of drummers performing simut-
taneously out Of doors produce good
music. In this connection Rerlioz- tho

What would he think? l must stop,

woman anyway. But I'm not through

She sat silently thinking for some
time longer. but could not make up
her mind to cut short her vacation.
Jared had gone to the barn.
"Mary lied to me-" he thought sor-
rowfully on his way thither. "There
was nothing there. and nobody had
been there She lied to me-"
He harnessed the horse and hitched
up with trembling hands. He was
desperate enough for any deed. and
going into town to bring out doctor
seemed to him the rashest Of acts.
"What II he'd say she'd have to 60
to the asylumT he mourned as he
climbed into the buggy. "But she
amt to say crazy. She's just childish.
Maybe it'll be SO I can hire some one
to stay with her"
His face was tragic as he went into
the Doctors office and none the less
so when he came out.
He hesitated not at all, but drove
straight to the minister's. That lie
weighed heavily upon him. He would
save Mary's soul as well as her body.
Mrs. Brown was not In sight when
the three men drove up to the house,
but they heard her singing. The min
lister bent forward and held up his
hand.
"I.isten" he said.
The words came softly and clearly
to the ears Of the waiting men:
1.-THE spirit is willing. the flesh is weak.
And the way cannot see,
And fear II try may sadly fail
And thus may dishonor thee"
The minister sighed, and the doctor
cleared his throat as Jared led the
way to the house
Here's some people to see you,
Mary" he said, opening the door, then
beat hasty retreat to the barn.
Half an hour later the doctor ana
the minister found him there. He
raised a haggard face to them. The
doctor began his explanation severely,
but Jared did not care. A great ana
solemn happiness settled upon him,
and the doctors voice softened.

"Yes," said Jared. II realize all that.
You don't need to tell me that. All l

"I've said 1t great many times
now" the doctor answered good hu-
moredly. "I'll take Mr.. Davis home
You 20 in to Mary"
Jared went. At the door OF the sit
ting room he paused. Mrs. Brown was
mechanically moving around the room
putting things to rights. She looked
old and worn and tired. She did not
see Jared until he spoke.
"Mary. how'd you like to go ana
make Ellen little visit"
Mrs. Brown looked up incredulously.
"There's the chickens and the milk
to tend to. and everything" she said

Perhaps no summer in the last decade
has witnessed a greater activity in bust
ness property than has marked this
summer
The practical closing of the transac-
tion by which the northeast corner of
Fourteenth and F streets northwest is
expected to pass from the Thompson
estate into the hands of a department
store syndicate, as announced in The
Washington Herald yesterday is one of
several important deals in business prop
erty that seem to have awaited the first
lull in the local market before closing up.
Other Business transactions.
In the last month. besides the Thomp-
son estate deal, three important busi-
ness properties have changed hands, all
in the immediate neighborhood Of Thir-
teenth and F streets. Two of these
transactions, those involving the prop
erty on the southeast corner of Thir-
teenth and G streets and the one by
which premises 615 and 6l7 G. street
changed hands are reported to have
been in anticipation of the more recent
deal. 1t is said all three deals and an
other sale are TO figure in one transac-
ton, the entire property to be used as a
site for a new department store.
The other large deal involved the
transfer by Eldridge Jordan to Henrietta
NJ Holiday of the northwest corner of
Thirteepth and G streets.
Several Deals Pending.
In addition to these. a number of deals
involving valuable properties in the
shopping district are now pending O.
6. Staples has been reported as carrying
options on three P street corners. upon
one of which he contemplates the erec-
ton of q large hotel It is considered
possible that Mr.. Staples may have a
hand in the reported deal for the Thir-
teenth street block, of which the Thomp-
son property furnishes one corner.
Reports from time to time had to do
with the possible erection of large office
buildings in F and C streets, indicating

The New York Real Estate Brokers an
nounce the closing OF several transactions

from the present shopping district and
toward the new financial district, has
turned back to F and C streets and the
numbered streets connecting these thor
oughfares.
Reawnkening Expected.
The period of quiet in the real estate
market which extended over about six
weeks during the hottest part of the
summer was materially livened by this
activity in the business realty market,
and now the activity in residential prop
critics is rapidly regaining its wonted
momentum. Real estate brokers almost
universally declare that the reawakening
has commenced, and that the people who
are TO figure in future deals are return
ing 10 Washington for the fall and win
ter season.
The renewed activity in the market is
expected 70 show itself at once. Brokers
are not dependent on new prospects to
show the first results Of the reawaken-
ing. as the early part of September is
expected to witness the closing Of hun
dreds of deals, large and small, that
were pending when the summer exodus
began.
Watching Effect of Politics.
Brokers are watching with interest for
the possible effect the change from Re-
publican to Democrat political control in
the House will have on the residential
market, both as to the leasing activities
and the number and extent Of transfers.
Recent changes in the Senate and the
scores of changes in the House have
taken from the official life OF the Cap
ital men whose private fortunes aggre-
gate many millions of dollars. In ad-
ditiOn, the retirement of these. many of
them milliOnaires whose families enter

THE HERPICIDE

need to be more thankful for than
Newbro's Herpicide. Thousands of Ia
dies not only in the United States but
all over the world feel the same way

hair remedy they owe their soft, long,
beautiful hair.
Mary J. Terry. Of Lovejoy. Ill,

was just q scanty cover for the scalp.

read about until l finally used Herpi-

shall forever praise Herpicide."
Most hair troubles come from dan
druff. Newbro's Herpicide removes
this dandruff by killing the germ which
causes 1t. 1t also stimulates a flow Of
blood which nourishes the foIlicles.
The scalp being healthy, the hair does
MOI come out and the new hair is al

Instead Of doing any good they may do
