Are you ever pulled up with inordi-

high?
Are you ever convinced that deep
woe would betide
II you were to suddenly die?
Do you ever imagine the whole world

If you were the one in the hearse?

Are you ever observed with the feel-

Do you ever opine that when you are

Forget 1.-THE hole you will leaves

As a needle withdrawn from the

Are you working away as your talents

And doing the best that you CAM
Are you honest and square? Does
your soul never tire

Are you meeting each duty. howe'er

Are you standing strict watch on

THE DANGER OF WHITE LEAD

'
Occupation is undoubtedly the
most important factor in causing lead
poisoning; and among the occupants
the most dangerous are those in which
lead is freely handled. This applies
particularly to working in white lead
and lead coIors. The grinding of
white lead with oil was formerly a
large source of lead-poisoning, be-
cause the pigment WAS dry, and conse-
quently the grinding-mill attendants
and the lead-work laborers inhaled
Head dust, but since in many factories
! in the moist state, by the gradual dis
placement of the moisture with oil
/ during the process of grinding, this
source of danger has decreased The
/ dangers incidental to the manufacture
/ of red lead are extremely serious.
The Journal Of the American Medical
/ Association quotes a recent writer in
one of the trade journals VINO re.
ports that a large decrease in plumb
/ ism in the manufacture of white lead
| has followed the abolition of female
labor and youthful labor in England
The decrease is also consequent on
ventilation, the use of respirators, ov.

avoidance of lead dust No material
increase in the cost of manufacture

who did not credit the Gladstone bag
with being the repository of the mill
lionaire's fortunes
Ordinary people will credit any non-
sense where diamonds are concerned.
Even an educated criminal like Victor
Grenier believed there might be some
foundation for the absurd theory
which found ready credence among
the domestics
He never made the error of plan
ming a burglary or adroft robbery
whereby the bag might come into his
possession. If 1t did contain dia-
monds and especially IL 1t contained
unique specimens, 1t was absolutely
useless to him. But his vitals yearned
for Anson's gold. and the question he
asked himself in every unoccupied
moment was how he might succeed
in getting some portion of 1t into his
own pocket.
One day quaint notion entered his
mind, and the more he thought of 1t
the more 1T dominated him. He was
tall and well made, If slim in figure,
and his face had never lost the
elasticity given 1t by his stage ex-
perience.
He had only heard Philips voice
once. but his features and general
appearance were now quite familiar
TO him, and he undertook a series of
experiments with clothing and make
up to ascertain IL he could personate
Anson sufficiently well to deceive anv

Mason's truculent determination
gave hope even to Langdon. He, too,
gifted with certain power of vicious
reasoning, saw that this new ally
might prove useful. But he was
afraid of such bold utterances, and
hoped to achieve his purpose without
binding himself even tacitly to the

The astute rogue whom he addressed
raised no objection to his departure.
He instantly embraced Langdon's at
titude in his wider horizon.
YES" he agreed, let US sleep on it.
We will all be better able to discuss
matters more clearly tomorrow"
Thenceforth the fiat in Shaftesbury
avenue became a spiders web into
which the flies that buzzed around
Philips life were drawn one by one,
squeezed dry of their store of infor-
nation, and cast forth again uncon-
scious of the plot being woven against
their master.
Within a month Grenier knew An
sons habits, his comings and goings
his bankers, his brokers, many of his
investments, the names of his chief
employees, the members of his yachts
crew, the topography of his Sussex
estate. Nothing was too trivial, nc
detail too unimportant, to escape a
note undecipherable to others and a
| niche in atretentive memory.
He made a friend of one of Philips
footmen by standing treat and listen
ing reverently to his views on the
next days racing. He persuaded one
kitchen maid in Park lane and an
other at Fairfax hall that he had
waited all his life to discover a
woman he could love devotedly. II
