Indians Poisoned Arrows.

The arrow poison used by the lnulans
Of Colombia has been found to be the
secretion of the skin Of a small frog.
The arrows are eight inch palm spineS,
which are shot from a blOwgun about
fourteen feet long, and the hunter car
ries the frog along in a hollow bamboo

Of the skin yields the poison drop when
needed. When one Of the arrows en-
tiers the body of even large animal
such as a jaguar, monkey or deer
paralysis quickly follows and the vic
tim is then easily killed. The use OF
the poison, it is said, does not affect the
flesh of the animals killed, which Is
quite harmless when eaten. Two French
naturalists have made experiments
with the edible frog, Rama esculenta
showing that its skin exudes similar
poison when irritated and that an ex
tract prepared from the skin gives IL
guinea pigs the same symptoms as In

An I'd rather have. her your wife than

you've seen her just once-you can't

tuvoluntarily; then, furious at his be-
trayal of sentiment, he dropped the
Ather's hand Eve had better go, or
we'll miss the train" he bruskly re-
minded.

Floyd; he turned to look again at the
factory. I'VE are pretty close chums.
Yes. you an had better be gettin' to

They walked back to the nearest
trolley line, both silent.
The subject was not touched again,
ylutil the following morning, when they
left the train In New York.
When shall / see you?" Stanton
questioned, as they exchanged fare
wells In the noisy depot. "To-mor-
row?"
I'm going to be out Of town for the
next two weeks, Mr.. Green tells me-"
Floyd replied. They want me at the
Mercury factory, and there are some
other trips, too, l believe. Jessica is
going to be rather deserted; il you

would be glad to speak to some one

laughed. Keep away from them,

ec.igai in New York that Stanton
onlied upon Jessica Floyd. This time
he went more confidently up the stairs
ot the quiet apartment house. sure Of
his right.
As before, the little old Irishwoman

nit him As before, he could have

decided to have was money. l found

Circumstance bent me, when 1t set

or cared" He shook his head tmpa-
tiently, turning fully to her. Bah,
what dead history am I boring you
with! Forgive me; only meant to-
say there might be some small excuse
for my savagery. 1t Is after four
o'clock. I was promised tea"
Jessica rose to cross to the little
tea-table, but fingered for an instant.
"Jes once told me that he had been
guilty Of the impertinence of saying
his driver had the best disposition and
the worst temper he had ever seen. /
think that II he were here, he would
apologize for the last part"
Perhaps he may yet retract the

When she summoned him to take

beverage, then In quizzical surprise at

me that whenever he was out with
you, you drank chocolate syrup and

"And do you always give people
what they like?" he asked, amused
and oddly pleased.
II would like to-" she retorted.
"Then I would like very much to
have you go to the theater with me,
tonight"
CAS- you like" she conceded, her
heavy lashes sweeping her cheeks.
The first step was made. For the
next two weeks they saw each other
frequently. Twice Stanton brought
one of the Mercury cars and took Jes-
sica for sedate afternoon drives. Sew
eral rainy days she gave him sweet
chocolate and sat opposite him before
the bright little hearth, listening or
talking with the equable sunniness so
like Floyd's. Indeed, Stanton soon
came to feel with her the sense Of
companionship and certainty of being
understood that he felt with her broth
err But he never was rough to Jes-
sica
During that interval he did not
meet Floyd. Jes was busy thirty miles
up the Hudson valley, at the Mercury
factory, Jessica said, and as Stanton
Of course knew from his mechanician's

doubted. 81 am better at listening, /

l were Jes; like what he likes, rae
ing, factories, motor-cars."
Although the season was early, q
fire burned in the tiny hearth, on
either side Of which they were seated,
facing each other. In the ruddy light
Stanton contemplated the smiling girl,
in her pale-blue gown with It's lace
ruffles foaming around her full young
threat and falling low. across her
hands.
your brother has told you of the
business partnership that we plan for
this winter, Miss F1oyd?"
She nodded her bronze-crowned
head.
Eyes; I am very glad"
did he," sudden fancy prompted
the question, did he tell you that
was coming here to see you, If /
might"
Did he know of it?" she asked in
counter-question.
Floyd had kept the confidence given
him, then, although no formal re-
straint had been made. The express
sion that crossed Stanton's dark face
was warm and very gentle.
HE knew, yes. I wish could have
met your brother years ago: might
have been less hard a man. more fit to
know him, and you, now"
"You hard!"
HAS he not taught you that I am
500"
In her earnestness she leaned for
ward. her eyes fearlessly on his.
Never Do not imagine he thinks
you that, do not so wrong his memory
of your kindness. A rough word-what
is It? The first gentleness cancels It:
what is a friend worth who does not
understand"
Stanton bent his head, looking at
the fire
