posit was discovered at Cerro Pelon,
In one Of the northern departments,
sensuntepeQue, not far from its chief
town.
The discovery was made by an Eng-
fish engineer who some years ago:
made careful study Of the m~ineralogy
OF the district and took home with him
samples from the mines there An.
assay Of these samples showed . very
complex combination OF minerals. but
at that time little value was placed on
them. .8
Recently this engineer made further
analysis in the light of his larger ex-i
perience and they gave undoubted,
evidences OF containing radium. and
two qualified engineers were sent over
to make further and more detailed In.
vestigations of the ores.

rough training. An old Etonian who

experiences there as worse than that

less round of mutton, potatoes and
beer, none of them too plentiful or too
good; to sleep in a dismal cell with

DRUG HOUSE ENJoINED

Judge jeremiah Neterer, OF the
United States district court, to-day
granted permanent Injunction in be-
half Of the Centaur Company Of New
York, the manufacturers of Fletchers
Castoria, against the Stewart &

The controversy arose from the sim.

preparation, and from the evidence
filed in the case it was shown that the
infringing label was first discovered
on sale in Honolulu, and was traced to
its origin here in Seattle.
The defendant company is one of
the oldest and largest concerns Of its
kind in the Northwest.

that the Stewart & Holmes Company

On a day the ship sailed into splen-
did roadstead, big enough to hold the
ships of half the world. Then into a
wide flashing river, the James river,
four or five miles wide down there at
its mouth. And up and up and up the
bright river, the narrowing river, be-
tween it's low green banks, with now
and again glimpse Of large house
and of gardens and lawns green with
June, as one sailed past.
Harry Hampton told Francois who
lived in them as they went by-Har-
risons and Carriers and Byrds and Ran
dolphs - strange-sounding, difficult,
English names in the ear of the
Frenchman. Young Mr. Hampton knew
them all, it seemed; many of them
were his cousins; Francois listened,
surprised, interested, to the word pic

sparkling water, there was a sharp
bend in the stream, and as they turned
it the large silvery green slope of the
lawn lay before them, with it's long
wharf and barges lying at the water
side, and ship unloading it's return
cargo from England.

There were people gathering on the
lawn, negroes drawn up in line; the
women in bright-colored turbans, men
and women both showing white teeth
as they grinned with the pleasure and
the excitement of watching the ship

ran down the broad greenness, and a
girl stood, golden curls on her shoul-

How you believe in the great cap

smiled down at the pale face on fire
with its lifelong enthusiasm.
"One must" said Francois simply,
and paused, and went on. For me-

star of the Bonapartes has always
seemed to be my star! l believe that

house. Nopoleon was more than hu-

Francois, trembling with rapture
he could not quiet, lay, not stirring, be-
cause he feared to break the spell of
the touch of her hands; feeling within
him rebel hope that yet he would
not let take hold of him. Could it be?
Was it true? Did she care for him and
not Pietro? Was that the reason that
in all these years she and Pietro were
still only sister and brother? Yet, he
caught and choked the thought. Even
then he had no right, he could not,
would not tell her what she was to
him. He would be Pietros friend al

more, thousand times more now,
