Leper Colony For Holland.

Holland is to have leper colony.
The country is exposed to the leprosy
danger owing to the considerable traf-
fic with its East and West Indian col
onies, and there are estimated to be
roughly between so and 40 sufferers
from the disease already within its
borders. Plans are on foot to found
such a colony in the Veluwe region.

Indian Writing Found in North.

That the Spokane country once was
peopled by a race of Indians whose sign
writing cannot be interpreted by the
tribes of the present day is shown in
the disclosure of Indian hieroglyphics
on rocks near the mouth of the Little
Spokane river. The marks are found
on rocky cliffs north of the Little Spo-
kane on the old Binl1ley place. Pio-
neers of Spokane have known of these
marks for years, but their exact loca-
ton has never been made known to
the public for fear they might be de-
stroyed before steps were taken for
their preservation. With the organi-
zation of a Spokane historical society,
whose purpose will be to mark such
historical places, the hieroglyphics will
be preserved and every effort made to
have them deciphered.

her face clearly. but he knew. To find

the foundations of his understanding.
Under cover of the applause. he

"Who is that? What is her name?
"The divine Sara" Max answered
his eyes shining.

viction; "Sara Laws the only name
she's ever worn in my acquaintance
with her."
At that moment. the applause hav-
ing subsided to such an extent that 1t
was possible for her to make herself
heard, the actress swun, round from
the mirror and addressed one of the
other players. Her voice was clear,
strong and vibrant. yet sweet; but
Whitaker paid no heed to the lines she
spoke. He was staring, fascinated, at
her face.
Sight of it set the seal of certainty
upon conviction: She was one with
Mary LadiSlas. He had forgotten her
so completely in the lapse of years as
to have been unable to recall her fea-
lures and coloring. yet he had needed
only to see to recognize her beyond
any possibility of doubt. Those big,
intensely burning eyes, that drawn and
pallid face, the quick. nervous move
ments of her thin white hands, the
slenderness of her tall, awkward, i'm
mature figure-in every line and con-
tour, in every gesture and infection.
she reproduced the Mary Ladislas
whom he had married.
And yet Max was whisper
ing over his shoulder:
Wonderful make-up-what?
"Make-upr' Whitaker retorted.
"She's not made up-she's herself to
the last detail"
Amusement glimmered in the mana
gers round little eyes: "You don't
know her. Wait till you get pipe at
her off the stage" Then he checked
the reply that was shaping on Whit
aker's lips, with a warning lift of his
hand and brows: SSH! Catch this,
now. She's a wonder in this scene"
The superb actress behind the coun-
terfeit of the hunted and hungry shop

inevitable witchery the most sophisti-
Gated audience in the world like wheat

lations of her marvellous voice as it ran
through a passage-at-arms with the
termagant. Suddenly ceasing to speak,
she turned down to chair near the
footlights, followed by torrent of
shrill vituperation under the lash of
which she quivered like whipped
thoroughbred.
Abruptly, pausing with her hands on
the back of the chair, there came a
change. The actress had glanced across
the footlights; Whitaker could not but
follow the direction Of her gaze; the

An appellant rejoicing in the curious

many years in the village Of Twerton,

The woman who. as just revealed in

the tax rate for the current year would
be 50. 76, which includes the sewer as
sessmsnt, reduction of cents over

which shows that during the three
years the city has been under commits

duction OF As cents in the tax rate.
This condition was brought about by
the members of the governing body,
after careful study Of the various de-
partments of the city government at
the time the commission plan was
adopted. Many defects which existed
under the old administration were
rsmsdisd, an is evidenced by the excel.
