and tries TO buy II. The pawnbroker re-
fuses to let him, have ii at the price Lind

L." as proof.
The policeman demands time before en-
forcing Lindsays claim. They turn to
leave the store, and encounter Hindu,
who has recognized Lindsay from the
street. The Hindu takes the sailor to his
rooms, and tells him that the box got to
the pawnbrokers by reason of the murder
of its possessor, who. with Lindsay and
the Hindu. was part owner.
The Hindu unfolds a plan to murder the
pawnbroker. This is carried out, and they
return to Dal Dass' quarters with the
box. The Hindu presses a secret spring,
lace of sixty-three diamonds is exposed.
Overcome by greed, Lindsay kills the
Hindu. seizes the box, and makes for
the moors, finding shelter in a lonely hut.
Wet also finds shelter there. and kills
Lindsay to get his clothes, finding in
them the diamonds which Lindsay had
placed In little bag. He continues his
flight, but is surrounded by officers of the
law. Dropping the diamonds into deep

up his hands, and falls dead.
The two warders who shot him ride up
to the body and sit down to await the
arrival of the officers. Each in succession
catches sight of the diamonds and the
second demands a half share. AS one

First Atheist Burned
293 Years Ago Today

The first prominent atheist OF Europe,
Lucilio Vanini, was burned for his
heresy at Toulouse, France, just 293
years ago today. In ancient times. un-
belief in the existence of a Deity had
been taught by Lucrettus, Epicurus,
and other philosophers, while Confu-
cius. the great sage of China. was an
atheist. Following the death of Va
Mini atheism had no distinguished fol-
lowers until Spinoza. Matthias Knut-
zen, of Holstein, began preaching un-
belief in the latter part OF the sew
enteenth century.
Voltaire, Thomas Paine. Benjamin
Franklin, who are usually classed as
atheists, were in reality Deists, believ-
ing in a Supreme Being, but not in
Christianity. Bradlaugh, of England,
was, perhaps, the most prominent athe-
ist of the nineteenth century, while
agnosticism had distinguished teachers
in Herbert Spencer, Huxley, Ingersoll,
Haeckel and others.

Fortune To Wager
On English Poloists

NARRAGANSETT PIER. r. l., Aug.
3.-Announcement was made last night
by W. A. Hall. Of the Polo Monthly
and Clubman, who is stopping here,
that he will have 100000 of English
money to bet on the success of the
English polo team in defeating the
Americans next season.
Mr.. Hall said: The English feel
quite confident that they will win the
international match. So confident are
they that money is now on the way here
to cover some American bets. We have
one lot in England of $4,000 and another
of $4,000 with a New York banker to
place in New York that the English
team will win three straight matches -
Continuing, Mr.. Hall recounts the fact
that agents of the Duke of Westmin-
ster have been for months purchasing
all the best English polo ponies and he
declared lit is not generally known, but
quite true, that every pony played this
season at Hurlingham and Ranleigh was
owned by the Duke OF Westminster.

drawer. So poor. timid Polly was al
most afraid next daY to go out in the
front porch. This put an idea in Freds
head-he would play burglar and fright
en- Polly badly.
II did not occur TO him that 1t was
a very serious thing to scare a child,
that fright, was great suffering, and
sometimes there would remain bad re-
suits that never left the mind in after
life. He selfishly went about his plan.
That night his father and mother
went over to see a friend for a few mo-
ments and left Polly alone in the yard.
She was not really alone, for Fred was
hiding behind the corner of the street,
and when he saw his parents leave the
gates he slipped back Into the house by
the kitchen door and crept into the
pantry. Then he closed the door with
bang

Is This Why English
Beauties Are So Fair?
CFrom London IIeraId.)


Ever since the discovery that merco-
lied wax would absorb and remove a
soiled complexion, its use by ladies as
substitute for toilet creams has grown
rapidly A perfect complexion can be
maintained indefinitely if this remark
able substance is used. Its beneficent
cleansing, clearing and preservative ac-
ton is quickly apparent, and ladies who
have been paying as high as guinea
a jar for special cream from beauty
specialists soon recognize that mercol-
lied wax outranks them all. 1t has be-
come so popular that it can be obtained
at all chemist shops in the British Isles.
American druggists also have great de-
mand for it in original one-ounce pack
ages. The favorite way of using is to
apply it, like cold cream, before retir-
ing. washing it off in the morning.
The saXolite lotion for wrinkles and
the facial contour has also become eX-
tremely popular. One ounce powdered
saxolite is dissolved in one-half pint
witch hazel Bathing the face in this
has a splendid effect.

Now. most of Fred's jokes were OF
what is known as the practical kind,
which means that It is something done,

Extra Hands And Feet
On Girl In Virginia

LURAY, Va, Aug. 3o.-Perhaps the
most remarkable freak of nature ever
seen in this State is Virginia Mcdonald,
the twenty-two-m -months-old daughter of
Mahlon Mcdonald. now being exhibited
in many towns throughout the valley
OF Virginia.
The child has four well-developed feet
and the same number of hands. On
each of the child's legs two extra feet
are growing. On each arm a second
hand is growing. These second hands
are perfect in every respect. except only
two fingers are growing on each Of
them.
The child has good use of itself, be-
ginning to crawl around and can climb
UP beside objects upon which she can
lay hold. Her mind is apparently az
active as ordinary children her age.
She was born in Shenandoah county
about thirty miles west of Luray.
