ORCHID ICE CREAM COMMON
Il Docs Not Bear That Aristocratlo
Title but Goes by the Very PIE
beIan Name Of Vanilla.

Very few OF Vi would ever think Of
ordering orchid ice cream without a
little tremor Of the pocket book, for
everyone knows that the orchid Is the
most expensive Of flowers. But there
are thousands Of persons who eat or
child ice cream daily. Although they
probably have not been awareso Of the
distinction, 1t is none the less q fact.
OF course the ice cream is not ordered
by the a~ristocratic name OF, orchid.
On the contrary, 1t bears the very pie
beian name of vanilla. s.s4i
There are said to be no less than
$4,000 varieties OF orchid, scattered
over the earth. All OF them have. the
peculiar artificial beauty and the
haunting odor that seems inseparab1e
from this flower, which looks almost
as though it were a product: OF an un-
healthy condition In nature. OF an
these $4,000 varieties, only one has any
practical value. and that is the one
from which vanilla comes, The plant
grows abundantly In South and Cen
trail America, and has been transplant
ed to other tropical countries, where
It Is now fourishing.

That Silver DEUCE.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Silver bullion having now reached the
quotation it was holding in 1892, the year
before the repeal of the Sherman pur-
chasing act, there may be an opportunity
20 test the truth of a belief that was prev
tlent in some quarters in those days. A
good many people seriously thought then
that there were veritable mountains OF
yilver ore out west and that unless some
thing was done at once by the government
the world would be flooded with the white
metal and silver would be a drug on the
market The average price of silver in
lSss was 81 cents an ounce, q trifle lower
II there were in~exhaustible ore bodies
waiting for shipment then they will be in
evidence now, since the improvements in
mineral saving processes win fully offset
the rise in other costs Of production and
teave as much margin Of profit now. as in
the '9Os.N But It is safe to say that silver
Will not replace tin as material for do
nestle utensils. The largest American pro
auction OF silver in any year prior to the
repeal of the Sherman act was only 3d.
10000 ounces, this record being reached
IN 1892, when the fears OF a silver flood
were rampant, and for the last three year
the output Of the United States has been
more than Z, 1000 600 ounces annually. The
silver deluge was only a campaign argu.

CHAPTER XIV.
4 WORD on

Wherefore it happened that Dan
Webster, searching promenade
and saloon and library, that after
noon, mounting to the boat deck,
descending to the lower deck,
peeping into every nook and cor
ner where passengers Of the sec
ond class were permitted to pene-
trate, looked in vain for Kasia
Ward. Nor was her father any
where to be seen AT last, per-
ceiying the curious glances shot ia
his direction, and having stumbled
for the third time over the same
outstretched pair of feet, he
mounted gloomily to the boat deck
and satdown to think it ont.
The weather continued fine and
the sea smooth, so that it was alb
surd to suppose that either Of
them was III; and that they should
keep to their stateroom on such an
afternoon for any other reason or
|even for that one, was more alb
surd still. Perhaps, if they were
working
The thought brought him sud
den relief That explained it! They
had some work they were doing
together. Perhaps Kasia acted as
her father secretary, and even
now was writing to his dictation.
She had said that he was engaged
il some gigantic project, the ma
ture Of which Dan understood but
dimly-a plan for the disarma-
ment of the world 81 something
like that. As he remembered them
here III the cold Light ofday. her
words of the night before seemed
more than little fantastic; but
perhaps he had not understood, ~
perhaps she had p hguratiye-

camel
Dan spoke, warmly, and his com
panlon, with a little satisfied nod,
settled back into the seat. They
had een very little of each other
since the moment of meeting. Dan
had gone to bed the previous night
before his room mate appeared,
and had not even heard him come
in. This morning, when he arose,
Cheyrial was sleeping calmly, and
Dan had gathered his clothes to-
gether as noiselessly as he could
and stolen away to the bathroom.
They had passed each other once
or twice on the promenade, and
had nodded but had not spoken
and then Dan remembered sud
denly the flare of light from the
nearby bench the night before, as
he and Kasia rose to go below.
Cheyrial smiled again as he met
his glance.
you are thinking Of last
night2' he said. Eyes? 1t is con
corning that I wish first to speak
to you. When 1 sat down yonder
/ was not conscious that this bench
was occupied. You and the young
lady were speaking in very low
tones, and the bench itself was in
shadow. It was only when she
raised her voice that ] realized /
was hearing what was not In

go, when she stopped abruptly,
and a moment later you went
down together. It was then that
you noticed me. / struck the
match in order that you might see
that it was l, and so have no nm
easiness.
Dan stared at his companion in
establishment.
"Uneasiness2" he repeated.
aBut why should I have any UNI
easiness9"
Not on your own account, Of
course, but on the young lady's
account.
"But 7 don't see why, even for
her, I should be uneasy, said
Dan perplexedly.
My dear sir, and Chevria
dropped his voice and spoke very
earnestly, there are always spies
on these big boats-this is q most
productive field for them-Ger-
man spies, French spies, English
spies, listening to each word,
watching each gesture. Suppose
one Of them had CHANGED to hear
what I did 800
Dan stared moment longer,
then he burst into laugh.
Oh, come, No. Chevrial, he
protested. You don really be-
heve thati

About the spies.
Cheyrial's face grew q little
grim. III

where it is not desired, he said;
but / assure You, M. Webster,
that what have told you4is true,
and furthermore had any one Of
three or four persons who are on
this boat heard what I heard, that
girl and her father would have
been ander espionage for the re-
mainder Of their lives.
It was easy to see that Chevrial
spoke ia deadly earnest, and, in
spite OF himself, Dan was i'm
pressed and sobered.

perhaps you are right; but to an
American the very idea Of such q

much Of cheap melodrama. But
