Was Permanent Free Luncher.

In the old Gays when every saloon
set free lunch there was man who
worked in a railroad yard in Cincin-
natl and saved money, says the En-
quirer of that city. A saloon near the
yard served a plate lunch free if you
bought two beers or spent 10 cents
over the bar. The man did not drink.
So he would go to the saloon every
day at noon and spend his 10 cents On
two packs of tobacco. Then they
would serve him a lunch. The man
did not chew, so when he got back to
the yard he would sell the two packs
of tobacco for a dime. He used the
dime next day to buy two more packs
and get lunch. Then he would sell the
tobacco again. In this way he ate
lunch for 300 days for nothing and
still had his original dime. This is a
true story.

IDEA WAS NOT STEPHENSONS
Claim Now Made Timothy HackWorth
Was the Real Inventor of
Locomotive.

George Stephenson was one of the
first inventors of locomotives, and his
engine won the prize in the celebrated
contest which is now history; but Tim
othy Hackworth's engine only broke
down owing to a piece of defective
blacksmith work. George Stephenson
was quick to see that he had won by
a fluke, and that Hackworths engine,
being fitted with his steam blast, which
vastly increased the rapidity Of the
generation of steam, was the better
machine.
Being a shrewd and energetic bust
ness man, as well as an inventor-and
it must be added, not over-scrupulous
he forthwith appropriated the steam
blast idea without public recognition of
Hackworth's invention of it, and went
on from success to success as engineer
and contractor.
Many years ago, at Darlington, Tim
othy Hackworth's son showed me the
proofs establishing his fathers claims,
plans and drawings, newspaper arti-
cles and correspondence Of hundred
years ago, and, I think, an autograph
letter of George Stephenson admitting
explicitly or by implication, his indebt-
edness to Hackworth for the steam
blast, without which the locomotive
could not keep running steadily or, at
any rate, could not develop speed and
tractive power.-Edward Wilton in

FIRST SYMPTOM OF DISEASE
Interesting Theory That Exhaustion
Is the Danger Signal That Must
Not Be Ignored.

What will be interesting news to
great many will be found in the the
ory advanced by a writer in the Lon
don Times, a medical correspondent
who claims that exhaustion is the
earliest sign of disease. He explains
that he does not mean the familiar
feeling of tiredness due to eXertion,
but inability to get the usual response
to effort. When a man finds that he
must exert more strength to get the
same result, or in the field of mental
effort that he cannot concentrate"
easily, he should realize that some
thing is the matter with him. The dis
covery of just what that something"
is, is the business of the doctor, of
course; but the exhaustion should
send it's victim to his medical adviser
posthaste, provided, as has already
been said, it is something more than
healthy fatigue. For example, the
writer says:
"a man has been accustomed to
walk up a certain staircase briskly
and without any discomfort But now
he finds that he has to slacken his
pace a little or otherwise he will be
short of breath when he gets to the
top. Or, again, a man discovers that
he is more than usually tired at the
end of his days work and that he
tends, in this state, to feel q little
giddy or little nervous and irritable.
Or, again, person of even temper
begins to win a reputation for haSti-
ness. He does not concentrate so well
as he used to do, and small things ir-
ritate and annoy him. He is apt to
lose his temper.
"These men are i'll, and the limits set
upon their endeavors, mental or phys
ical, afford an indication Of the extent
of their disability. They are not suf-
fering from muscular weakness in the
sense that their muscles are damaged.
They are not suffering from heart mis-
chief in the sense that they have any
heart disease. They are not suffering
from disease at all if by that term is
meant breakdown of particular or
gan. But they are on the way to dis
ease, nevertheless.
Recent research has shown that IA
tigue, though it is felt in the muscles,
really occurs in the brain and spinal
cord-in other words, that the brain
cells get tired before the muscles they
control. This explains why a man
who is tired out on one occupation be-
comes fresh and vigorous again when
he changes over to another and so
employs a new set of brain cells-e. G.,
a game of golf after business, even
though the second occupation may
make greater demands on his muscles
than the first. Now if we realize that
tiredness or fatigue or exhaustion oc-
curs in the brain cells and nervous
system and not in the muscles, and if
we accept the view that the poisons
of many diseases act primarily on this
nervous system, we see at once how it
comes about that the very earliest
nresence of disease is shown by tired
ness. The poisoned nervous system
becomes played out sooner than the
healthy one. And the rate of exhaus-
tion of the nervous system depends on
!, the amount of poison present"

Diow from the side or rear So long
as Hilary could retain his hold on
Plerre and keep him in this position he
was comparatively safe. But he had
no more than about fifteen seconds in
winch to think out his next move. 1t
was all a question of muscular en-
durance. He could not hope to retain
MS clutch on Pierre's throat with one
nano for many seconds, against the
1orce behind the outlaws shoulders,
ana MS strong, thick-set body. Sud-
oehly he made up his mind. He re-
leased Pierre, flinging him backward
with all his might. Pierre fell against
Leblanc, sending him staggering; the
two clawed at each other and fell to
the floor.
AS Hilary released Pierre he caught
sight of Lollis' face peering across
Pierre's shoulder. The fall of the two
men left Louis Hilary's only immedi-
ate opponent. Hilary hesitated; in
| spite of his threat, spoken to Simeon,
he hesitated to attack a man much his
inferior in size and strength. But at
that moment he saw Louis right arm
drawn back, and the gleam of the
knife he held. Before the upward
thrust came he stepped back. pulled
the revolver from his pocket, and
brought the butt crashing down on
Louis head.
That's what promised you" he
shouted.
The little man, instantly drenched
with blood from the jagged scalp
wound, staggered, let the knife fall,
screamed, and fed. stumbling from
side to side, with hands upraised above
his head, toward the door. Louis had
had enough; he had been meant to be
the bait Of the trap, and now he had
been caught in it. Blinded by the
blood that poured over his face, he
blundered into one of the window en-
brasures, and his upraised hands
brought down the lamp, which fell
crashing upon the wooden floor, and
fortunately went out.
Still screaming, Louis found the
door and tried to push back the bolt
But before he could do so Hilary was
on the spot. He pushed it back him
self and, taking Louis by the shoul
ders, he pushed him with all his
strength into Baptiste's shanty.
The room was empty. The wore
had evidently been passed about that il
would be advisable for one to make
oneself scarce in view Of what was
going on in the stable. But a grouI
of men were gathered about the dool
at the entrance, peering in; and the
sudden apparition of Louis, covered
with blood, and Hilary behind him
proved too strong for their discretion
They came running forward, yelling.
Hilary could have broken through
them and gained the safety OF his
rooms, short distance away. Ever
the hazard in such a course was les'

Botany.

Blessed is the man with a hobby,
thrice blessed if the hobby happens to
be botany! What more could be
wished for than a study, the mate
rials for which may be garnered by
every roadside, in the toughest of gar
dens, the poorest of houses? If it's
disappointments are numerous and
bitter, few things can be more ex-
hilarating than the finding of a rare
specimen, the discovery of a new va
riety, and if, as Stevenson opined,
Solomon merely quoted the superla-
tive pleasures when he said, "Of max
ing books there is no end" the botan-
ical student can rejoice in a taste
which need never fear termination
from want of nourishment or novelty.

CHAPTER X.
The Trap.

ne
The first man whom he saw was
Louis Duval, uncorking a bottle of
gin. Their eyes met across the heads
of the lumbermen before Hilary's pres
ence was known.
He stood still for a moment, taking
in the scene. He was family conscious
that the door at the far end of the
room had closed, but this perception
made no impression on him. He felt,
alone though he was, that he was abb
solute master of the situation.
He strobe up to Louis. pushing the
lumbermen who were in his way aside,
seized the bottle from his hand. and
dashed it to the floor. His movement
and the ensuing action were so swift
that it was only after their compile
ton that all the company awakened to
his presence.
He turned toward the plank table
which had been nailed across a recess
for bar counter. On this were a
number of bottles, all of brandy or gin
illicitly distilled and smuggled up the
| river. On the floor were two hogs
heads. A quantity of glasses newly
bought, and still containing fragments
of the straw in which they had been
packed, stood on a packing case near
by.
Hilary swept his arm along the
plank, knocking off the bottles, which
crashed to the floor, strewing it with
hrnlvon orln of e&r hn
gan to filter between the edges of the
boards, uniting in the depressions. The
stencil of the spirits rose into the air
He kicked the hogsheads over, and
they added their contents to the pool
With another sweep he struck down
the glasses. Then the lumbermer
rushed at him, cursing, infuriated The
foremost hesitated as they came with
in reach of his arm, however, remem
bering Pierre's discontinue. The mo
mentary delay was fatal to them. Hill
ary struck out with all his force, fell
ing them, or sending them staggering
backward against those behind, an(
clearing a passage in a twinkling to
ward Louis, with whom alone he haC
business at that moment.
Louis was a coward, unlike hi
brother and Pierre, perhaps pardon
ably, on account of his physical weak
ness. AS Hilary grasped him by tn
shoulders the liquor seller, who mad
up in adroitness for what he lacked IL
strength, twisted like an eel, dive,
under the arms of those about him
and rushed toward the rear entrance
shouting something as he ran.
What it was Hilary did not know
He perceived dimly that the mob fel
back, except for a few who, unable t
restrain themselves. surged about hir
