urgent errand.
Il know the thief" he declared to
a group in the parlor. IF find the
jewelry thrown over the transom in
my room by tomorrow morning, we'll
and good If not, shall swear out
warrant"
Pearce was not in the room when
this remark was made. He heard Of
It when he came home from a call on
Annette. His intention was to 60 to
Bolger and tell him of being in his
room that morning AS he passed
It on his way to his own, however.
the absence Of light induced Pearce
to consider that Bolger was either
away or asleep.
Pearce was just leaving the house
the next morning, when man wait
ing at the front doorway touched him
on the shoulder.
"You are under arrest" he an
nounced, and produced a warrant
charging Pearce with the theft OF the
missing jewelry belonging to Bolgcr.
Pearce offered no resistance. All
that was manly in his nature, how
ever, came to the surface as, glancing
back at the house, he saw the face
of Bolger peering malevolently from
behind a curtain. 1t was less the man
mourning a loss, than Of one gloating
over the opportunity to degrade and
disgrace an envied rival
Pearce was taken into the court
room of the examining magistrate.
Half a dozen other prisoners were
seated just beyond him awaiting ar
raignment. Amid his own troubles,
Pearce did not particularly notice
them. He had sent for his lawyer.
The preliminary examination took
place Bolger appeared. His two wit
nesses we're the servants who had
seen Pearce leave his room.
It was Just as Bolger was describ-
ing the pin and rings that there was
an interruption One of the other pris-
oners, awaiting trial, sprang up. With
a quick dash she reached the side OF
Pearce. She clung to him, crying out
to the judge:
"He was my friend He Is a good
man. will prove It,"
What Is this?" demanded the bar
fed Judge.

through this good man. He found me
out That man." and she pointed at
Bolger, "say my friend steal. No,
not was Pietro-Pietro and his
monkey"
What are you telling, girl?" de-
manded the lawyer sharply, pricking
up his keen ears.
"I see what Pietro bring home-a
pin, the rings, diamonds All. that Is
his trick. The monkey climbed to the
window. Pietro teach him. He take
jewelry. Come, I will show you where
Pietro hide his plunder"
The Judge began to question the
girl. Within an hour officers OF the
law visited the den of Pietro, to re-
cover the stolen jewelry.
A free man, with the real culprlt
in custody, the first act of Alan
Pearce was to see that the poor girl
was placed in kind hands.
And when Annette and himself went
to housekeeping, little Carlotta be-
came maid of the happy household.

Of the star boarder" on the second
floor, he paused. 1t stood open, and
a lively breeze, pouring in at the win

floor and out into the hall.

extras" he allowed her to put on his
bill He was a man of about forty,
a bachelor, seemed to have plenty OF
money and dressed fiashily.
He had met Annette several times
and made no efforts to conceal the
fact that she attracted him. AS to
Annette, she had conceived violent
dislike for him from the first. Pearce
barely tolerated him. The star boarder
seemed to think, however, that his
wealth might finally make some i'm

whom his heart was set.
Pearce gathered up the scattered
papers and placed them on the desk:

SCOTCH CAPABLE OF BULLS
Some Good Stories That Have Been
Fastened on Inhabitants of the
Land o. Cakes"

Even in our day, residents Of the
British isles are rarely well Informed
upon the geography Of "the states"
Perhaps, too, since we live in coun-
try that boasts a long list of Troys,
Romes, Athenses, not to mention Gin
cinnati and an occasional Cato or
Plato, we should not be surprised
when anyone assumes that anything
else in Greek or Latin Is properly in
digenous to our map.
A Glasgow merchant and magistrate
OF a century ago, so Mr.. d. Macleod
Malloch records, had sent to certain
mercantile house in New York a con-
signment of goods that remained long
undisposed of. In response to his in
quiries, he was informed that they
were still in statu quo He passed on
the information to a neighbor, who re-
marked suspiciously, But never
heard of the place"
Nor l. either" replied the good
bailie, confidentially. Il looked at the
map, but l couldna find it; and l just
conclude it's sma town up in the
kintra'
The simplicity and ignorance of the
rural Scotch magistrate often quite
equaled that of the English, immortal
ized by Shakespeare in Dogberry; and
Mr. Malloch gives two more veritable
examples quite In the true Dogberry
vein.
That is most tragical event which
has just happened said friend to
Bailie Blank. Your neighbor, Mr..
b., has committed suicide!"
"Wha on?" inquired the bailie, eag-
erly
Perhaps it was he-it was certainly
another Glasgow baile-who, his
health being proposed at banquet in
honor of his recent dignity, responded
nobly to the toast:
II Gamma but say, ma friends, that
I'm proud of the honor of being made
a bailie of this great city; and I'm
even, think, entitled to the honor, for
I've gone through all the various
stages of degradation that bailie has
tae dae tae reach it-Youth's Com
panion.

Spiders Olfactory Organs.

After disproving the theories Of all
the other writer's concerning the seat
of the olfactory organs, Doctor Mcln-
doc began to search for organs SINH
lar to those which he found few
years ago in spiders. These organs
were soon found on the legs and wings
of all insects examined. Many ex-
periments were performed which
proved conclusively, to the author that
these organs are the true apparatus
for receiving odor stimuli In the In
sects tested.

Advises Doctors to Prescribe Vinol
 and Gives Reasons Why.


 Doctor: You have many patients under your care at this season of the year especially, whom you may con- sider are in need of the nutritious, healing properties of cod liver oil, many people cannot digest or assimi- late the ordinary cod liver oil prepa- rations on account of their digestive disturbances.
 ''It is for this reason we want to respectfully call your attention to VinOl-a cod liver preparation con- taining Cod Liver Peptone made from fresh cod flyers and cod liver oil, Gall oil eliminated), together with Iron Peptonate, Beef Peptone, Iron and Ammonium Citrate, and pure Native Wine.
 ''Vino1 is non-secret and in our opinion, superior to old-fashiOned cod liver oil and emulsions, because while it contains all the medicinal value they do, unlike them Vinol is de- liciously palatable and agreeable to the weakest stomach.
 We feel that medical practitio: CTS who once prescribe Vinol will do so continuously, as under it's treatment patients gain strength and put on flesh almost from the start From The Canadian Journal of Medi-
