Sonny ushered forth after hurried

Preston, who burst from the house
across the way, an exact counter

BOON FOR THE SHlPWRECKED
Life Preserver invented by German
Enables Person to Remain AfIoat
For Days.

Hundreds of inventions for the pres
ervation of life in case of shipwreck
have recently been tested, but what
seems to be the safest is suit which
takes the form of combination of
life-belt and suit made of watertight
canvas, which envelops the whole per-
son. The suit has sleeves ending in
gloves, and there is port-hole in the
head, which can be closed when the
weather is rough. When this port
hole is closed, air enters through a
tube above the head, this tube being
so constructed that no water can en-
ter
Furnished with this device, it is
claimed that passenger might be
thrown into mid-AtlantiC and live in
comfor1 for many days, while waiting
to be picked up, for the suit can be
equipped with sufficient food and drink
to keep shipwrecked passenger alive
for week or more.
A man or woman using this device
stands with feet in "a sort of bucket,
which forms the base. This bucket
takes in a Ger ain quantity of water,
which acts ae ballast and keep the life
saver and it's occupant upright.
Furthermore, the apparatus is pro.
vided with revolver an signal lights
with which the shipwrecke6 passenger
can signal for help by day or night.
Attached to the apparatus are ropes
by which two or three people cal keep
themselves afloat ii they have not the
good fortune t. have one of these life
saving suits
The suit is the invention of Ger
man named Gustave Heinrich, and he
declares that it will deprive shfpwreck
of all it's terrors in all circumstances.

was courteous as usual. but Ina
fancied there was new subdued air

Canine Sauacity.

A remarkable instance of canine sa-
gacity is related at Nuneaton. The
owner of the dog some little time since
arrived at Nuneaton from Taunton, in
Somerset. He came by rail through
Birmingham and had his dog Ca Pom)
with him. The day after he arrived he
missed the dog, and diligent inquiries
failed to discover anything about the
animals whereabouts About fort
night or SO afterward he received a
letter from Taunton, telling him the

erything She offered Ina some of
the old relics of the family. In tears
Ina selected only a framed, faded pic
ture of her dead uncle, which hung
in the room where he had died.
A month went by. Blanche was
urging the closing up of the estate as
speedily as possible One day Mr..
Ritchie came home with a serious,
worried face.
There are some pretty heartless
neople in the world" he remarked, de-
jectedly
What now?" questioned his wife.
Blanche. What do you think? Her
lawyer notified me today that we must
pay up the mortgage on the place here,
now owned by her"
A dull blow fell upon all the hearts
within the room. 1t had meant pow
erty before. 1t was sheer destitution
now. The selfish avarice of Blanche
was apparent. The family decided to
move to another town. Then came
vast surprise. There came by mail
one day week later a package. 1t
contained the mortgage. the notes and

Ritchie joyfully.

next day he founC out who it was
Albert Telford.
What did it mean? Should Ina feel
Inundated, or glad? She could not
1nalyze the situation, ye she felt it

that Alber had gone to the city to

Then it was not the rich Blanche,
What could Ina do but feel happy!
And then a second wonderful thing
came to light-unheard of, extraordi-
nary. In cleaning the old picture of
her uncle, Ina noticed a sheet of
paper folded in it's back. She in
spected it.
There was the latest will of Uncle
Ralph. Practically prisoner of
Blanche and her friends, he had seized
a favored moment to make this latter
will, just before ne died 1t had been
witnessed secretly by two old serv-
ants, whom Blanche had later dis
charged
There was great commotion in the
town when the news came out. In
shame and chagrin Blanche Morton
disappeared, meanly taking with her
what money she had been able al
ready to secure from the estate

 A great part of Senator Brandegee's convention speech was taken up by the tariff. The arguments in favor of high protection were repeated. The old charge that the Democratic party
