caIIy Russian.

The Kamaoulie Koloko, or BELL
With the Ear Torn on" had a most
romantic history. In the sixteenth
century Prince Dimitri, the r1ghtful
heir to the Russian throne. was de-
posed by a revolt led by Boris Godun-
OF, who was afterward proclaimed
czar. The seat Of government was
then at Uglich and thither Dimitri was
sent. in order that he might remain
under the direct observation Of the
usurper.
Boris, fearing that the populace
might awake to the justice Of the
claims Of the young prince, planned
the assassination of Dimitri. He was
one day stabbed in courtyard. None
Of the bystanders showed any disposi-
ton to aid him. A priest, however.
from the cathedral belfry, saw the
crime and Immediately began tolling
the great bell. which was held sacred
aud runS only on unusual occasions.

A bridegroom gave his best man an
envelope.

ceremony" he said. but don't do 1t
ostentatiously."
The best man followed instructions,
but it seems that he performed his
task too covertly, for the father of
the bridegroom, after the pair had
departed, believed that an omission
had occurred and quietly pressed a
banknote into the minister's hand.
But he also was too secretive about 1t,
and before the party broke up the
brides brother felt called upon to
draw the minister aside and thrust a
$10-bill upon him.

A DOCTORS SLEEP
Found He Had to Leave Off Coffee,

Many persons do not realize that a
bad stomach will cause insomnia.
Coffee and tea drinking being such
an ancient and respectable form OF
habit, few realize that the drug-caf-
feine-contained in coffee and tea, is
one of the principal causes Of dys.
pepsia and nervous troubles.
Without their usual portion of cof-
fee or tea, the. caffeine topers are
nervous, irritable and fretful. That's
the way with whisky drinker. He
has got to have his dram ito settle his
es"-habit.
To leave off coffee or tea is an easy
matter IL you want to try it, because
Postum gives gentle but natural
support to the nerves and does not
contain any drug-nothing but food.
Physicians know this to be true, as
one from Ga. writes:
II have cured myself Of long
standing case Of Nervous Dyspepsia
by leaving OFF coffee and. using Post

which I've been an utter stranger for

types, find little trouble when can

CHAPTER TX.
The Sitter Fruit.

Fortune had hearty CONTEMPT for
persons who ate their breakfast in
bed. For her the glory of the day was
the fresh fairness Of the morning.
when every ones step was buoyant,
and all life stirred energetically. There
was cheer and hope everywhere; men
faced their labors with clear eye and
feared nothing; women sang at their
work. 1t was only at the close of day
that despair and defeat stalked the
highways. So she was up with the
sun, whether In her own garden or in
these odd and mystical cities.~ Thus
she saw the native as he was, not as
he later in the day pretended to be,
for the benefit of the Feringhi about
to be stretched upon the sacrifcial
stone. She saw, with gladness, the
honey-bee Thrilling the rose, the plow-
mans share barring the soil; the morn
ing, the morning, the two or three
hours that were all, all her own. Her
mother was always irritable and petu-
liant in the morning, and her uncle
never developed the gift of speech till
after luncheon.
She had the same love Of prowling
that lured Ryanne from the beaten
paths. She was not inquisitive but
curious, and that ready disarming
smile of hers opened many a portal.
She was balancing upon her gloved
palm, thoughtfully, Soudanese head
trinket, pendant Of twisted gold
wires, flawed emeralds and second
pearls, really exquisite and not gen.
orally to be found outside the expen-
sive shops in the European quarters,
and there infrequently. The merchant
wanted twenty pounds for 1t. Fortune
shook her head, regretfully. 1t was
far beyond her means. She sighed.
Only once in great while she saw
something for which her whole heart
cried out. This pendant was one of
these.
81 will give you five pounds for It.
That is all have with me-"
"Salaam, madame" said the jeweler,
reaching for the pendant.
"If you will send 1t to the Hotel Sc
miramis this afternoon :" Bur
she faltered at the sight Of the mer-
chants incredulous smile.
"Ill give you ten for It; not & pias.
tire more. can get one like 1t in The
Sharia Kamel for that amount"
