CHAPTER III.

Doctor Courtney arrived first. Up
the drive he came whirring In his
light electric runabout, and darting
through the door which the house
keeper held wide for him, was by the
patients side in a few seconds. To-
gether we made a thorough examina-
ton Of the reviving man. The physl-
clan tested his temperature, his heart
and reflexes, afterward addressing me
concisely.
1T is nothing serious There is no
permanent injury and he will be all
right as soon as he RECEIVERS from the
shock. He seems to have been Sc
verely choked, but there was no chloro-
form or other drug administered" He
gave the patient stimulant, and
was much relieved to see my uncle
respond to it favorably as the patrol
wagon arrived. A moment later
group of officers piloted by Mrs. Teb-
bets swarmed into the room. In few
words I explained to them the condi-
ton of affairs as | had found them,
and in twos and threes they went
trooping over the house from top TO
bottom in a survey of the safe, the
doors and shutters and other things
of interest to them. Then they came
back to us. Uncle Abner by this
time was able to speak in low voice,
and the captain, seating himself, de-
manded that he be told all that the
differed one knew of the affair. Still
speaking with more or less difficulty,
Uncle Abner addressed us.

useless, for there was nobody else on
the premises but Mrs. Tebbets, and
knew If she should awake and attempt
to come to my assistance or give the
alarm my assailants would do some
thing to render her helpless If they
had not already done SO. Therefore
| desisted attempting to make a noise.
After awhile | must have lost my
senses again, for all is blank to me

He stopped speaking and the ghost
of his old foxlike smile came creeping
out of the corners of his mouth. but

was locked up in the old strong box.

kind of a scene he would make, but

said. "They blew the combination
into old junk and cleaned out the cur
rency to the last cent" He uttered
gasp and tried to sit up, but the
physician pushed him back upon the
pillow.
"Burglarized the safe! Got all the
money!" he yelled, hoarsely, his eyes
rolling upward so that the whites
were to be seen. The expression upon
his face was a CHASTITY reflection OF
the shock to his soul, and despite his
miserliness l felt sorry for him as |
grasped one twitching hand. His
cheeks turned to the yellowish white
of fish's belly as he Strengthened out
to his full length with groan that
was horrifying in its death mimicry.

Why the Stamps Don't Stick.

Postmaster-General Hitchcock Is re-
ceiving complaints FROM all sections
of the country that the g.le on stamps
is worthless and that they will not
stick.
According to officials of the depart
ment. the glue is damaged by water
bugs that nibble it off the stamps. The
Washington postofflce is infested with
these insects. and, as many stamps
are kept ready for sale on desks and
in drawers, the bugs have easy access
tn them. The department has no
scheme for combating the bugs. In
secticides, IL placed in the glue, must
poison people who moisten stamps
with their tongues.

trade in the metropolis joined today
in a suitable observance of the cen
tenary of the birth of Horace B.
Clafin one of the greatest merchants
America ever produced. Mr.. Claf1in
was born in Milford, Mass, December
IS, 1911, and engaged when boy in
the dry goods bushes. From hum.
BILE beginning his business grew to the
largest in the country. The organiza-
ton which he perfected is still one of
the largest in the world and its sales
in a single year have aggregated more
than $75,000,000. Mr.. Clafliu's claim
to fame rests largely upon his shrewd
financiering during the panics that dis,
turbed the business world during the
greater portion of his life. He not
only weathered ever panic, but his
financial stability supported many OF
the largest mercantile enterprises in
the country.

Keeping Money at Home.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 6.-Figures re-
Gently compiled by the state insurance
officials show that in the fourteen
Southern states 500, 69S, 1897 has been
collected in fire insurance premiums
during the past thirty years, and that
of this amount the Southern compan-
les have received only S68,1S1 lip
leaving s639, 51T,?.5 which was liter
ally drained out of the South and
went to the Northern and European
companies.
Figures for the past ten years, and
for the next decade, however, will
show no such unfortunate proportion
as rhe Southern public is waking up
to the necessity of keeping it's money
at home, and is further encouraged
to do so by the fact that there are
now established in the South compan-
les of as high standing and as abso-
lutte solidity as anywhere else in the
