MOtherof Her Mock Marriage

This man"-she Indicated the rec
tor. who stood biting his thin Hip
with evident vexation-"was the
priest who officiated. The other
day he denied himself to me.
went to him in my trouble and
asked IL I was bound to the man
whom he had married me to. He
professed utter ignorance of the
circumstances. He denied that he
knew Adderley."
"Adderley?" II was Mrs. Bora
dale who repeated the word with
surprised emphasis.
"Yes. Adderley. 1t was there
that this mock marriage took place
at midnight and In a ruined church.
/ was inveigled into 1t. and / have
had no moment of rest since 1t took
place. viii Mr.. Probyn deny now
that he was at Adderley that
night?"
Mrs. 1BorradaIe had fallen back
upon the cushions. Her face was
CHASTITY, and her lips were twitch-
ing as II with intense pain. She
waved her thin hand feebly, and
Harold, recognizing the gesture as
an appeal to himself, ran. to her
side and threw himself on his knees
by the sofa
"Mother-mother!" he cried; "you
are in pain; what is the natter"
"Oh, Harold, This Is Terrible"
Harold" she murmured, "this is
worse than I expected. 1t affects
me-us-more nearly than can tell
you. It awakens terrible memo
ries. thoughts that l have striven
for years and years to drive away.
1t is tearing at a wound which has
never healed" She pressed her
hands to her heart. ''oh, my dear,
dear son. your inheritance is hard
one indeed"
Esther, too, advanced timorously.
Have l hurt you?" she murmured,
tears which she had bravely with

now.
The Fatal Curse.
''It is no fault OF yours, Esther"
was the feeble reply. you, dear,
are involved in our comm. --.isfor-
tunes. 1t is hard upon you. and it
will fall heaviest Of all upon my
son, Harold. Oh, my children"-her
voice rose to a pitiful moan-''I
have been in a dream, a childish,
happy dream, and IT Is dissipated
just as all my dreams have been. /
have tried to lift the curse from
you. Harold; I have strugg led, oh.
SO hard, and have done foolish
things in my desire to save you: to
screen you from your fathers fate.
But destiny is stronger than i. 1t

broke into a hysterical laugh.
For a little while Mrs. .Borradale
needed all the care that Esther and
Harold could bestow upon her. The

Tho EuyptIan "FeIIah,"


The Egyptian "Fellah" Is curious
mixture of independence and submits
siveness. He would never consent to
the wholesale disclosure of his affairs
requisite under the cooperative sys-
TEN. He is as secretive as the Scotch
man, as land hungry as the French
man. He Is in some ways as ignorant
and as submissive to authority as the
poorest European peasant. He had
always obtained ample credit, but at
terrible price. For short periods he
would pay so and 60 per cent and
when, in 1899, an effort vas made to

fidence was won, however, and he

Survival of the Fittest.

Modern scientists do not entirely
hold with the Darwlnian theory of evo-
luton; still, there is no doubt that the
Survival of the fittest" has n large
modicum of truth, for we can all see
that those who are incapable Of adapt
ing themselves to the universal prog
ress must become more or less fossil
lied. Every big business gives US
striking examples; men who, having
reached n certain position, sit down
and get rooted In their own little way.
Then there comes q new spirit into
authority, modern methods are intro
duced, all things are put in motion. the
change has come and the fossil sits
still, an obstacle in the necessary prog
ress until he Is either thrown out of
the way completely, or moved to a
side where he can do no damage.

Find Real FIyinu DRAGON.

What Is said to be the only reptile
that can fly has beer recently dscov-
cred in Borneo. This creature is liz
ard about ten inches long, its body
brilliantly colored. 1t does not have
wings in the usual understanding Of
the term, but its ribs, widely extended
enable the lizard to soar in much the
same way that an airplane or bird
drifts on a current of air. These fly
ing lizards commonly travel in swarms,
frequenting the deepest forests, says
an exchange. Seen Mt distance they
are said to look much like birds, with
their brilliantly hued bodies. Science
has not as yet hit upon name for the
newly discovered specie of reptile, but
has called 1t the flying dragon, which
seems an excellent name, everything
considered.

judicial skeptlcism to n marked de-
gree Is shown In the opinion In Free
man. VS.. Frank, 10 Abb, Pr. IN. ",
870, in which the court makes the fol-
lowing answer:
1.-THE fact that the defendant has an
swered, though by attorney, shows he
is neither, civilly of'physically dead. It
is conclusive that he is living, and not
under any disability that prevents him
defending the action. The defendant,
by answering, proves he is alive; and
when he AYERS inshis answer that he
is dead, he is not to be believed. The
answer, therefore, contains two con-
Trajectory averments, one Of which In
judgment of law is a fiction. If the
defendant was dead, he could not nm
swer. Hence the averment that he Is
civilly dead must be deemed untrue"

Not to Be Overlooked,

Robert had been much admired and
petted by everybody, so naturally when
the little sister came his nose was out
Of joint. Everyone who came to the
house wanted to see the baby. Soon
he began to understand that in order
to receive petting one must be baby.
One day woman called, and as usual
asked to see the baby, and began the
usual petting. Robert walked up to
the visitor and with tremulous lip
said: II am the old baby" The ruse
worked and he was Immediately given
the desired petting.

First Said Of Goldsmith.

"He touched no subject that he did
not adorn" was first said In Latin
epitaph on Oliver Goldsmith. "Nil
tetigit quod non ornavit." The Eng
fish version of 1t was used in IN cpl
taph on Matthew Hale Carpenter of
Wisconsin by Jeremiah S. Black of
Pennsylvania. Carpenter died in 1881
and Black, who was attorney general
of the United States from 1857 to 1861,
died In 1888. His epitaph on Carpen-
ter began as follows: "The most &C.
complished orator Of his day and gen.
Grafton, he addressed no audience that
he did not charm, and touched no SUBJ
ject that he did not adorn." The Latin
epitaph on Goldsmith was written by
DR.. Samuel Johnson.

Eggs, Ten Cents Hundred!

An Oklahoman has been devotlng his
spare time to study of prices in the
long ago, and has fediscovered the fact
that during the reign of Henry w Of
England goose. cost cents, not n
pound, but the whole bird; eggs were
10 cents 100; 16 pounds of butter
could be had for 25 cents; wine was
3 cents quart, and a whole carcass
Of beef could be obtained for $3.50
How the Imagination is stirred by
those figures until one reads that
skilled carpenters Were paid 10 cents
a day and less skilled workers in pro-
portion. The Oklahoman is much puz-
zled by 1t all, but at least he sees
clearly when stating that the only
hope is in increased productions

other classes of invalids, for its con-

enough, 1t appears to have value In

be contraindicated "Where there Is
danger of deficiency disease, as in the
case Of bottle fed infants, sailors, etc.,
the value of fruit juices is also we'll
known. Hence certain classes Of sub

considerable extent, but exclusive
