HEREDITY
Can Be Overcome In Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot, Of
course, be successfully disputed, but
1t can be minimized or entirely over
come in some cases by correct food
and drink. A Conn. lady says:
For years while I was a coffee
drinker 1 suffered from bilious at
tacks of great severity, from which I
used to emerge as white as a ghost
and very weak. Our family physi-
clan gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver, which l tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
HE was acquainted with my fam
lily history for several generations
back, and once when l visited him he
said: If you have inherited one of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from its inaction.
We can't dodge our inheritance, you
know
II was not so strong a believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be-
ginning to think for myself, conclud-
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. feared

When one speaks of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont. 1t
is difficult to associate granite with
any section of North America outside
New England, yet it must now be ac-
knowledged to the credit of the south
that Georgia, North Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia are producing large
quantities of stone of good quality
which insures the south a place in
the market at any rate.
The annual output is now worth
about $3,5O0,OoQ and the industry is
growing. 1t may be of comparative
interest to know that New England's
output is about $9,OO0,OOO worth OF
stone annually.

CHAPTER TX.
Number Three Forty-one.

When Orme was aroused by the
ringing of his telephone bell the next
morning and heard the clerks voice
saying over the wire, Eight o'clock,
sir" it seemed as If he had been
asleep but few minutes.
During breakfast he reviewed the
events of the preceding evening.
Strange and varied though they had
been. his thoughts chiefly turned to
the girl herself, and he shaped all his
plans with the idea of pleasing her.
The work he had set for himself was
to get the envelope and deliver it to
the girl. This plan involved the find
ing of the man who had escaped from
the tree.
The search was not so nearly blind
as it would have been if Orme had
not found that folded slip of paper
in Maku's pocket. The address,
three forty-one North Parker street."
was unquestionably the destination at
which Maku had expected to meet
friends.
TO North Parker street, then, Orme
prepared to go. Much as he longed to
see the girl again, he was glad that
they we're not to make this adventure
together, for the reputation Of North
Parker street was unsavory.
Orme found his way readily enough
There was not far to go, and he pre-
ferred to walk But before he reached
his destination he remembered that he
had promised AlcatrRnta and Poritol
to meet them at his apartment at ten
o'clock
His obligation to the two South
Americans seemed slight, now that
the bill had passed from his hands
and that lie knew the nature Of Porl-
tolls actions. Nevertheless, he was q

daughter to bring up. She's with
friends. She don't know anything
about what do for a living"
WELL" said Orme, I'm going to
give you five dollars toward educating
your girl"
He took bill from his pocketbook
and handed it to her. She accepted
it with a deprecating glance and a
smile that was tinged with pathetic
coquetry. Then she looked at it
strangely. Whats the writing?" she
asked.
Orme started. He nod given her the
marked five-dollar bill. II didn't mean
to give you that one," he said, taking
it from her fingers.
She stared at him. Is 1t fony?"
"No-but want it. Here's an
other" AS he took a fresh bill from
his pocketbook he discovered to his
surprise that the marked bill, together
with the few dollars in change he had
received after his purchase in the
shop below, was all that he now had
left in his pocket. He remembered
that he had intended to draw on his
funds that morning. His departure
from New York had been hurried, and
he had come away with little ready
cash.

bosom and waited. She knew we'll

down there, but If you don't, I'll tell
you that the fire escape leads into his

CHAPTER VIII.-Continued.

Orme followed, and when Maku
turned west again at the next street,
swung rapidly after him and around
the corner with the full expectation
of seeing him hurrying along half a
block away. But no one was in sight.
Had he slipped into one Of the near
by buildings?
While Orme was puzzling, voice
at his elbow said, "Hello!"
He turned with start. Flattened
In a shadowed niche of the wall be-

back toward the car line. He did not
look to see whether Maku was be-
hind him. That did not matter now.
He had missed his second opportunity
since the other Japanese escaped him
in the university campus.
Crossing Clark street block north
of the point at which he and Maku
had left the car, he continued lake

short distance from the Pere Mar

Curious SPOONS,

At the present time we are familiar
with all manner and shapes of spoons
intended for divers purposes, but some
of the old-fashioned ones are certain.
Iy curiosities. For instance, there is
the long, marrow spoon, used couple
decades ago for the extraction of mar.
row from bones. This spoon was made
double, one end being employed foe
small bones and the other for those
of larger bore.
Another odd spoon was used for
mulberries. This had a perforated
bowl, and with this little sugar was
sprinkled on the berry, which was
then conveyed to the mouth on the
spiked end of the handle.
Very few caddie-spoons are seen
these days. Teaspoons of the old type
have long since gone their way, and
with them disappeared the caddie-
spoon. The snuff, candle and pap
spoons have long since gone out Of
use.

Always Worrying.

The late John H. Barker of Mich

$3O,OOO,O00 to his 14-year-old daughter
was strongly opposed to speculation.
"Do not speculate" Mr.. Barker once
said in an address to young men.

Mr. Barker smiled.
"In fact" he said, "a speculator Is
