CHARTER 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 few seconds. To
gether we made thorough examina-
ton of the reviving man. The physi-
clan tested his temperature, his heart
and reflexes, afterward addressing me
concisely.
"It is nothing serious. There Is no
permanent injury and he will be all
right as soon rs 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 1t favorably as the patrol
wagon arrived. A moment later a
group of officers piloted by Mrs. Teb-
bets swarmed into the room. In a few
| words explained to them the condi-
tion 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
pilfered one knew of the affair. Still
speaking with more or less difficulty.
Uncle Abner addressed us.

WHERE SEDAN CHAIR IS USED
The 3-Century-OId Vehicle Is Still Seen
on May Day In knutsford,
England.

The news that there Is woman still
living who rode in a Sedan chair Is
reminder Of the fact that there is one
town In England where a Sedan chair
Is still used. It is at Knutsford, in
Cheshire--the Crawford" of Mrs.
Gaskell. Every May day Knutsford
arrays itself In gala attire. Sports are
held on the village green, the May
queen Is elected and crowned, and
in order that no aspect of antiquity
should be missing-the Sedan chair Is
produced.
Whatever may have been absolutely
the latest date at which Sedan chair
was used, the chair, at any rate, had
longer life than most forms of public
conveyance. For 1t appeared in Eng
land as early as 1881, and in London
fifty years later, when Sir Francis Dun
comb obtained the sole privilege of
letting and hiring them. Thus the

Prehistoric Dinosaurs Found.

What Is believed to be an important
find Of hitherto undiscovered species
and genera of prehistoric land reptiles
has just been made. Twelve fossils
or skeletons of dinosaurs, among them
two complete brontosaurs-the largest
animals that have ever Ived-were
unearthed from the side Of cliff nine
miles north Of Jansen, Utah, in what
was, in distant ages. river; as the
oobbles, mussel shells, and sand en-.
Vironing the bones showed. Besides
these specimens Of the extinct bronto-
saurus fossil, remains Of several stego-
saurus specimens were also brought
to light. These, Mr.. Hartley M. Phelps
tells us, are very rare. The stegosau-
rus was the most grotesqque animal
that ever existed. The brontosaurus
often attained length Of 80 feet, but
1t had small head. It's neck and tail
were short. Like the stegosaurus, 1t
lived by eating succulent herbs. It
had powerful legs, 10 feet or so in
length. The diplodocus measured 70
feet long, had an immense body, pow
erful legs, and an enormously long tail
and long neck, but small head. It
lived In swamps and ate waterweeds.
It's remains have only been found on
the slopes Of the Rocky mountains.

m SEARCH OF BLUE ROSE
Modern HortIcuIturlst Has Very High
Ambitions, says Ensland's Pro-
mler Gardener.

To find a blue rosel That is the
great ambition Of the modern garden
or, according to Sir Harry Veitch,
England's premier gardener, who was
recently knighted by the king, and the
honor was we'll deserved, for no
one In the world has worked more in
defatigably for the development Of
horticulture, and no one has made
more important discoveries. Indeed,
In the course Of his fifty years Of
business the gardening knight has In
troduced into this country many hun
dreds Of plants.
For four generations his family has
been associated with the romance Of
dowers-the late Mr.. James Veitch
was described as "the first nursery
man Of his day'-and it was the
veitchs who began the policy Of ran
sacking the world, especially the
Equatorial world, for orchids and
studied the reproduction and cross fer
tilization Of foliage plants. Early in
life Sir Harry made 1t his aim to be-
come a sort of universal provider in
the gardening world, and for years he
has had travellers in all parts of the
globe searching for rare plants.
Curiously enough, he considers that
China is one Of the most wonderful
fields for work of this sort, and he
mentions the fact that one of his trav-
elers has lately come back from the
celestial land after three years trip,
in the course Of which he got as far as
Thibet and had to struggle for life
with four bandits to preserve his spe-
cimens. The risk these travellers run
for unknown flowers are often very
great, and sometimes expeditions
prove very disappointing. 'It is fas-
cinating work, however," says Sir
Harry, "and has often led flower
searchers into corners Of the world
which have never been trodden before
by white men,"

Bottled Milk And Bottled
Germs

Milk is put into bottles in order
to keep it clean and free from
germs. Impure milk is responsible
for most infant mortality and often
for the spread of typhoid fever,
diphtherie, scarlet fever and tuber-
culosis. Milk if properly bottled
will reduce the danger from these
diseases.
There are hundreds of milk-men,
however, who fill the bottles in
their wagons instead of at the
dairy. They hold the bottles over
the milk can, thrust the long dip
per into the milk, and then pour
the milk into the bottle allowing
the excess milk to drain back over
their hands-the same hands that
have been holding the reins, taking
care of the horse and accumulating
all sorts of dirt.
What good does bottled milk do
you if it is bottled in this way :?
You are then not only using bot
tied milk but also bottled germs
Your baby sickens and dies. Your
Child shows predisposition to
tuberculosis-and still in good
faith, you receive improperly bot
tied milk and think that it is pure
and clean.
Find out how your milk-man
bottles his milk. No one wants to
buy dirty milk and in proportion
as the milk-man's goods are high
class, his customers will increase.
Dirty milk means disease, clean
milk means health. Which would
you rather have?
