show his gratitude to the Count.
Everything was strengthening out
nicely. To git rid of the Count would
be simple. AS his German tutor.
what could be more natural than for
the Count to put on. his hat and walk
away? And then there was the quick
manner In which the Count had rail-
lied to his support. Evidently, in
spite of his grievance, the Count was
a man who would not stand or sit
idly by and see a fellow man suffer
because of a mistake, or a combina-
ticn of mistakes.
With a quiet wink to the Count,
Harry said to Lucy and her father:

thee let Harry read it."
So the Count tore the fly leaf from
the book in his hand and solemnly
wrote thereon the line:

He handed the sheet to Harry, who
assumed the painfully awkward posi-
Iion CT schoolboy and laboredly read
the line, with an atrocious mispronun-

Count smiled, and took the paper

INJURED ON DESERT,
RESCUED BY TRAIN
Prospector With Broken Leg
Drags Dead Burro
Across Track.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 19.-The
California Limited train brought into
this city this morning a mining pros
pector whom the train crew rescued
from imminent death, on the Arizona
desert. The prospector suffered a
broken leg, in some manner which
he has not yet been able to explain.
and could not make the trip on his
burro from the desert back to help.
Accordingly he made for the railroad
track, and when his burrO fell from
exhaustion, succeeded in dragging the
carcass across the tracks. Then he
lay down near by.
The engineer saw the carcass, and
slowed up. When the engine reached
the carCas the engineer noticed the
body of the prospector near the track
The miner was taken aboard, revived
and made as comfortable as possible
on the trip to hospital here. Physi-
clans say he would have died of thirst
in a few more hours.

WHIPPING
POST AND DUCK|NG
Superintendent of Lowell,
Mass, Police Urges Use
Only in Extreme Cases.

LOWELL, Mass, Feb. 19.-sThe duck
ing stool for wCmen brawIers and the
whipping post for wife Leaters are pun
ishments advocated by Redmond Welch,
superintendent CT the police department.
These penalties are only to be paid, Mr..
Welch desires it to be understood in
extrSne cases.
The ducking stool was principally for
the punishment of talkative females,
scolding wives and unruly maidens," ;"
said Mr. Welch. This punishment
seems not to have been mentioned in
connection with the other local pun
ishments. This may be accounted for
by the general good COnCuct of the
women Of Lowell in the early times.
when I speak of the ducking stool
for talkative females, I am In earnest.
| should say. however, that I advocate
its use in extreme cases only. For the
woman who IS hailed into court as a
railer and a brawler, it would De the

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Dr. II. w.

pure straight whisky as opposed to con-
cocted booze, is now a declared believer
in prohibition, even in International

|. Madcro has now Joined the rebel
forces in the hills fifty miles from
policy OF having no open affiliatiOn
with the insurgent forces whom he
is reputed to have originally inspired
and put in the field.
His camp is located at the edge of
the mountains twenty-three miles
from Guadalupe, Chihuhua. which is
thirty-eiEht miles east of FL Paso on
the Rio GTande. The city of Chihua-
hua is the federal position which he
intends to direct operations against
Madero claims to have 1000 men
now in and around Chihuahua, though
only a small portion of this number IS
seen at his camp. All that he seems
to be doing at present is to keep rail
road communication cut north and
south Of Chihuahua That city is held
by 80 fedcrals.
Juarez, which is about fifty miles from
Madero's present headquarters, IS now
garrisoned by 1900 federals, and it is
the idea OF the insurgents to keep up
enough activity around Juarcz to hold
that force there.
How soon Madero plans to make a
real attack on Chihuahua even he does
not say, although he processes great
confidence that he can capture it before
long. In that province has been the
greatest unrest, and it is evident that
he expects to recruit there.
Once he takes chihuahua. he claims,
men will join his standards in great
numbers, especially in Vera Cruz,

the rebellion is now growing serious.

Calculations Necessary to Produce tho

 It may safely be said that no one outside the publishing office mas read the entire Nautical Almanac from be- ginning to end, but each figure of the printed almanac is in the office ex- amined twice and read three times.
 The total number of figures exceeds a million; but, great as that number is 1t is trifing compared with the num- Der of figures employed in the calcula- tons, as the almanac figures repre- sent .'bare" results only. The moon for instance. requires for its calcu- lation more than a million and half of figures, and similarly with other branches Of the work, such as the eun the planets. etc. Contrary to the general opinion. practically every fig nre in the book Is fresh from year to year.
 The tables from which nearly all the work Is calculated have been original ly constructed from the labors of the astronomical observer and to large extent from the observations of the sun, moon and planets made at the Royal observatory. Greenwich. Tele- scopes and other astronomical appli- ances are conspicuously absent, as the work of the staff Is purely mathemati- cal and not observational.-LOndo Telegraph.
