mediums outfit. She was fraud, but
he liked her-yes, pitied her-and he
felt inclined to excuse her in so far as
he could. For the kiss which he had
given her he felt no regret; it was
hers, in all innocence, for what of
good she might have found in it.
The minutes dragged by. He thought
of the precious documents, safe in the
inside pocket of his coat. What they
were, he did not try to determine, but
it was plain that they must be of in
ternational Importance. The talk of
ships and Alcatrante's references to
commissions had puzzled him. But
suddenly came to his mind the news
paper rumors that Japan was secretly
adding vessels to her navy through the
agency of a South american republic
which was having cruisers and battle
ships built in Europe, to turn them
over at their completion, TO the Japa-
nese. There was, as yet, no interna-
tional proof of this policy, for none of
the ships had been completed, but the
South American country was certainly
adopting policy of naval construction
quite out of proportion to her position
among the powers.
How came the girl to be involved in
this mix-up of nations? Through her
father, of course-but who was he? A
concessionaire? Her courage and de-
termination employed against shrewd
men. was as notable as the beauty of
hA, nd 10 nha
queen in her assured comprehension.
How 1t Quickened his heart to think
of her! The poor, faded medium, with
the smolder OF old flames in her eyes,
with the records of hard experience
written on her face, was a child in
stature beside the girl-a child with
warnings that could never be salts
fed.
Well, the girl had doubted him. He
could not wonder at that, for the facts
were all against him, and she had
known him only a few hours. Yet he
had hoped-he had believed-that she
would know the truth and the devotion
in him without further evidence. Per-
haps he had expected too much from
her noble insight. After all-and that
was part of the loneliness of her-she
was a very human girl.
The panel swung open and Madam
Ala stood looking down at him. She
spoke in an undertone
The laps are still watching. Arima

She sighed. 81 guess you don't trust
me-"
Trust you? OF course, do. But the
truth is, Madam Ala, that it is going
to need hard work on my part to find
the person to whom the papers belong.
| don't even know his name" Secretly
he condemned himself now, because he
had not overcome his scruples and
looked at the address on the envelope
while he had the chance.
Again she sighed. We'll" she said,
"of course, it's beyond me. Do you
do you mind my knowing your name?"
Pardon me- he said Il didn't rea-

THE POINT or VIEW.

''If you were to travel through Asia
you would find that we are regarded as
peculiar persons" says a writer in the
New York Sun. "Have you heard OF
the Chinese gentleman who travelled
throughout the United States and
wrote letter back to his friends de-
scribing us? He said:
you can not civilize these Ameri-
cans, They are beyond redemption.
They will go weeks and months with
out touching mouthful Of rice, but
they eat flesh Of bullocks and sheep in
enormous quantities. Nor do they eat
meat cooked In small pieces. It is car
ried into the room in large chunks,
often half raw, and then they cut and
slash and tear it apart. They eat with
knives and prongs; it makes a civil
lied being perfectly nervous. One fan
cies himself in the presence of sword
swallowers.
."They have no sense Of dignity, for
they may be found walking with wom-
en-. They even sit down at the same
table with women, and the latter are
served first. Yet the women are to be
pitied, too. On festive occasions, which
Americans call balls, they are dragged
around room to the accompaniment
of the most hellish music"

mother working up that butter with

separator became fixed article of
furniture in every home, it was the
business of the woman Of the house
to care for the milk and milk pans and
make and market the butter. This was
q soft Job because she didn't have any
thing else to do except tend the house
and get the meals for family Of nine,
including hired man who could eat
his way through a silo, with few such
little odd jobs as making the children's
clothes, putting up the fruit, looking
after the hens and tying comforters.

bartender in Plattsburg. When things
began to happen here in Manchester,
he took Carter to the home as butler.
Then the Borough bank got shaky.
If it went down there would be an
ugly scandal, and Fleming would go
too. His notes for half million were
there, without security, and he dared
not show the Cancelled notes he had,
with Schwartz's endorsement.

would have done it, but he couldn't

was innocent. He raised a little

prairie towns wanted windbrakes.
These were secured by planting will

the front yard box elders were planted.
The willows were planted by blowing
furrow and then filling it with the
cuttings from the river variety. Soft
naples were planted by gathering the
seeds and sprinkling them In burrows
where they were covered by second

SAVING hIcKELs AND DIMES.

SAVING NIckELs AND DIMES.
Two of the big railroads, the Rock
Island and the Pennsylvania, have is
sued circulars to their employees in
which they urge economy in the inter
ests Of the roads, The circulars point
out that large aggregate savings will
be accomplished through small savings
by individuals. The, notice sent out by
the Rock Island says:
1'You are one Of about $4,000 en-
ployes Of the Rock Island lines. Can
YOU save cents day for the COM
pany? "A small saving by each en-
ploye spells prosperity. Prosperity
than hard times. A few spikes, bolts,
etc, saved each day will turn the trick
for the track men. Enginemen can cas-
ily use a few less shovelfuls of coal
day and make better showing. OF.
flee menTcan reduce unnecessary wires
and correspondence, saving stationery
and postage. Shopnien have many ways
of saving time and materials"
The Pennsylvania offers to pay for
good suggestions for economy and eff
cheney, and 1t asks its employees to CO
operate in bringing about greater saw
ings. It's circular says:
"The necessity for reduction in ex-
pense at this time is urgent. In addi-
ton to the exercise Of the strictest
economy in the use of materials by all
employees the working time should be
watched carefully by trainmen and en-
gineers to avoid overtime wherever
possible. Every employee can assist in
some way in accomplishing the de-
sired reduction in expenses. If every
one Of the 1900 employees Of this di-
vision would save 10 cents a day for
the company 1t would mean total saw
ing Of $40 a day, or in q month $4,000,
which would go toward paying In
creases.in wages"
These suggestions, If carried out, will
benefit the railroads and their en-
ployes. Saving habits are always to be
encouraged, whether it be a saving of
your employers time and money, or of
your own time and money.
