CIGAR AS OPIUM SUBSTITUTE
Aiding in Redemption Of China, Where
Natives Are Now frequently Seen
Smoking Their Cheroots.

The cigar Is doing a large part in
the redemption of China. 1t is no un-
common thing to see a native smoking
his cheroot, which promises to enjoy
the favor once bestowed on opium.
The import of cigars into various
Chinese ports has been greatly on the
increase in the last few years, and now
amounts to about $350,O00 annually.
OF this trade four-fifths normally is
through Hongkong. There has been
marked increase in the quantity Of
Dutch-made cigars used in South China
and other portions Of the Far
East during the last year or more.
where, for various reasons, Philippine
cigars have been losing in favor.
Previous to the outbreak of the war
in Europe considerable quantities of
cheap cigars were sold in China and
the Far East through German firms in
Hongkong, and a German cigar fac
tory was operated in Hongkong for the
manufacture Of cheap cigars for the
Chinese trade and also for export to
Europe. This factory is still operated
under Chinese control.

CHAPTER TX.

Johns first caller at the Milan was,
In a way, a surprise to him. He was
sitting smoking an after-breakfast
pipe on the following morning, and
gazing at the telephone directory, when
his bell rang. He opened the door, to
find the prince Of Seyre standing out
side.
II pay you very early visit, I fear,"
the latter began.
'Not at ALL" John replied, taking the
pipe from his mouth and throwing
open the door. 'It is very good of you
to come and see me-"
The prince followed John into the
little sitting room. He was dressed, as
usual, with scrupulous care. His tie
was fastened with wonderful pearl,
and his fingers were perhaps a trifle
Overmanicured. He wore q bunch Of
Parma violets in his buttonhole, and he
carried with him very faint but I'M
usual perfume, which seemed to John
like the odor Of delicate green tea.
It was just these details, and the slow
ness Of his speech, which alone ac-
centuated his foreign origin.

seated himself in an easy chair, shat

Louise laid down her fan. She no
longer tried to conceal her agitation.
"Why are you so melodramatic?" she
demanded. 'They have scarcely spo-
ken. This Is, think, their third meet

"When two friends" Graillot de-
clared, desire the same woman, then
all Of friendship that there may have

characteristics, also desire the same

"Don't!" Louise interrupted, with a
sudden little scream. "DOn'tl You

such thingsl"
GraillOt leaned forward. He shook
his head very slowly; his heavy hand
rested upon her shoulder.

New TaIklnu "Movies."

Application has been made for a
patent on a very elaborate device
which would produce combination Of
the cinematograph and the photograph
to give us moving pictures wherein the
characters not only move but speak.
The idea Of such pictures Is not new,
but the difficulties of synchronizing
have hitherto proved insurmountable.
By synchronizing is meant the exact
coincidence Of the motion picture, pro-
jected by one machine, with the speech
supposed to proceed from the char
acters, which is produced by quite ana
other. Unless the speech comes at
the right instant, the result is laugh
able rather than impressive. In the
proposed device the actual speech Of
the character Is transmitted by wire
less telephone to photograph whose
complex receiving mechanism Is syn
chronized with the movements Of the
moving picture camera.

Knows When TO Quit.

Handled intelligently, mule is q
most willing worker; but there are q
few unwritten laws that cannot be
transgressed with impunity. A mule
will seldom make more than two at
tempts to move a load. On the first
strain he will throw his whole force
into the collar, and mule can pull 80
per cent more in relation to his weight
than a horse. Science is again dumb
at the question whence comes that lat
emit force which neither horse nor ass
possesses. After short rest the mule
will make second attempt, but this
Is seldom as sustained as the first. If
the load still refuses to move the team
might as well be unhitched. At times
the mules will not even exert enough
force on third attempt to move an
empty wagon.

WOMEN SUFFERERS
NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or tho
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer great deal with pain
in the back, headache, loss of ambition,
nervousness and may be respondent and
irritable.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, re-
stores health to the kidneys and is just,
the remedy needed to overcome such con-
ditions.

Smoke Cigars by Electricity.

In tobacco factories and also in many
show-window displays it is found de-
sirable to have an electromechanical
device which will smoke cigars In q
similar fashion to that followed by
mankind in general, says the Electrical
Experimenter. A flexible cord plugged
into the nearest electric-light socket
supplies the miniature motor with
power to drive multiple-vane blower.

She nodded, and a minute or two
later she had joined the small crowd In
the center Of the room, clasped in the
arms Of a very immaculate young man
who had risen and bowed to her from a
table opposite. John leaned back in
his place and watched her admiringly.
Her feet scarcely touched the ground.
She never once glanced at or spoke to
her partner, but every time she passed
the corner where John was sitting,
she looked at him and smiled.
His eyes grew brighter, and he
smiled back at her. She suddenly re-
leased her hold upon her partner and
stretched out her arms to him. Her
body swayed backward little. She

waved her hands with a gesture in

lips were parted with smile almost Of

hand upon her partners shoulder.
"Who is your escort this eveningY'
the latter asked her, speaking almost
for the first time.

piled. "He is Mr.. John Strangewey,

"Just now, at this minute, feel a
longing for them," she whispered, look
ing across the table, out Of the win
dow, to the softly waving trees.
At the close of the luncheon for a
moment she and John were detached
from the others.

under his breath. "When can II"
She hesitated.
81 am so busy!" she murmured.,
"Next week there are rehearsals nearly
every minute of the day."
Tomorrow" John said insistently.
'sYou have no rehearsals then. must
see you. I must talk to you without
this crowd"
1t was his moment. Her half
formed resolutions fell away before
the compelling ring in his voice and
the earnest pleading in his eyes.
81 will be in," she promised, 'tomor-
row at six o'clock"
After the departure Of her guests,
Louise stood before the window of her
drawing room, looking down into the
street. She saw the prince courteously
motion John to precede him into his
waiting automobile. She watched I'M
til the car took its place in the stream
of traffic and disappeared. The sense
Of uneasiness which had brought her
to the window was unaccOuntable, but
it seemed in some way deepened by
their departure together. Then a voice
from just behind startled her. 1t was
Graillot, who had returned noiselessly
into the room.

it with you as proof Of the sentiment
which I feel exists between us. It is
my firm belief that the same thought,
in a different guise, was travelling
through your mind, as you watched the
departure Of your guests"
She mohoned him to place upon the
couch, close to where she had already
seated herself.
"Come," she invited, "prove to me
that you are a thought reader"
He sank back in his corner. His
hands, with their short, stubby fingers,
were clasped in front of him. His eyes,
wide open and alert, seemed fixed upon
her with the ingenious inquisitiveness
Of child.
"To begin, then, I find our friend, the
prince Of Seyre, most interesting,
might almost say fascinating, study"
Louise did not reply. After mo-
ment's pause, he continued.
Among the whole aristocracy Of
France there was no family so loathed
and detested as the seigneurs Of Seyre
at the time of the revolution. Those
at the chateau in Orleans and others
who were arrested in Paris, met their
death with singular contempt and calm.
Eugene of Seyre, whose character In
my small way have studied, Is Of
the same breed"
Louise took up a fan which lay on
the table by her side, and waved it
carelessly in front Of her face.
"One does so love-" she murmured,
ITO hear ones friends discussed in a
