been fixed as yet. and Dan was not SO
violently carried away that he could
not wait to be married. Meanwhile
Gordon Galorey thanked God for the
delay and hoped for a miracle to
break the spell over his friends son
before it should be too late. In early
May the question came up regarding
the musicale. The duchess made her
list and arranged the Sunday after
noon and her performers to suit her
taste. and the week before lounged in

Then returning with boyish simple

thought had been dropped. Dan said

He gave II back to her, and his tone

STATES AWAKING 70 DANGER
Additional Hospital Beds for the
Treatment Of tuberculosis as
Are Being Established. !

Nearly 1000 additional hospital beds,
for consumptives in 20 states were
provided during the year ending June
1, according to a statement issued by
the National Association for the Study
and prevention of tuberculosis This
makes total of over 10000 beds, but
only about one for every ten INDECENT
tuberculosis patients in this country.
In the last five years. the hospital
provision for consumptiyes has in
creased from 14,42S in 1907, to over
10000 in 1912, or over 100 per cent.
New York state leads in the number
of beds, having $3.50 on June L; Mas
sachusetts comes next with $500; and
Pennsylvania, close third, with 2,700.
Alabama showed the greatest percent
age of increase in the last year by add
ing 81 new beds to its AZ a year ago.
Georgia comes next with 100 beds add
ed to 240 year ago. New York has
the greatest numerical increase, hav-
ing provided over 1900 additional beds
in the year.

and other bodily ills as well as bad
debts are, so the letters say, cured by
the lucky stone. There are unlucky

Emerging into the bright sunlight
for a few miles, it soon disappears
over some high precipice and then
drives so deep down into the bowels of
mother earth that not even the dis
tant sound of its waters can be
heard. This place is appropriately
called the Cave of Silence.
Birchbark torches are carried to
light up the dark caverns. In one OF
these the water falls over the jagged
edge Of huge, fat rock, in such a
way that torches may be carried back
of the cascade, giving weird effect
as the light passes through the fall
ing water.
On it goes, through Pluto's Judg-
ment Hall, where the light streams
dimly through, making perpetual
twilight within. The huge masses Of
rock which form the roof are jumbled
together in every conceivable shape.
Many more caves follow, the Queens
Power, the Dungeon, the Center of
the Earth. Titan's Workshop, Cave Of
Lost Souls, Elysian Lands, the Giants 8
Pot Hole and others. Some of the
caves contain beautiful falls and cas-
cades. Fat Mans Misery is passed
with great difficulty by the stout Wis
itors, on account of its narrow en-.
trance.
Part way through the gorge is Para
disc Falls. one of the most beautiful
of its size in the entire White noun
tain region. At this point the stream
emerges into the open for plunge
of 80 feet and then enters another
series of glacial cayerns below.

chanc. to Win wife and Fortune.

The lottery for wife. which takes
place annually at Smolensk. has been
successful this year. all the tickets
having been bought. The promoters
of the lottery select the young wom-
an, who has to be drawn for. She Is
then ordered to remain constantly at
home for ten days to receive the
visits of candidates for her hand. The
sale of 5000 tickets at rouble each
is controlled by the municipal council.
AS soon as they are sold the lottery
takes place, and the winner has the
right to marry the young woman and
her fortune of 5000 roubles. She can.
however, refuse the man who has
drawn the lucky number. In this
case she has to divide her fortune
with him. Since the lotteries were es.
tablished refusals have been rare.
