j t The
? By Thomas
Brant Durivage was in the neigh
borhood of 40 when he came back to
the home of his ancestors. He was
a bachelor, very tali, and dark of
feature. He had been abroad 10 years,
and as I, a young physician, had but
lately settled in the adjoining town.
I had never seen him. I had heard,
however, that he bad visited many
countries, civilized and savage, and
had concluded that he was tired of
roughing it and glad for a chance to
settle down beneath the roof of his
lathers.
His old acquaintances did not see
much ol' him after he came home. He
nodced to his former friends, or
passed them by without so much as
a bow. Not long after his coming
home we learned that he was courting
Annie Kimball, the prettiest girl of
the neighborhood, already engaged, as
we believed, to Steve ?v?organ, a young
man of steady habits, but without a
tithe of the wealth possessed by Brant
Durivage.
Old Kimball, Annie's father, was
dissipated, and, just then, financially
embarrassed, and the truth is that he
sold his child to Brant Durivage, forc
ing her lo break her angagement with
young Morgan, who denounced the
bargain in bitter language whenever
he could find anybody to listen to him.
At times he swore that he would "get
even" with the man who had come be
tween him and Annie.
For several weeks matters drifted
along quietly. If Durivage heard of
Morgan's hot words and threats, he
said nothing. He seemed perfectly
contented with the conquest he had
won, the wedding day had been set,
and Annie had become resigned to the
fate from which there seemed no es
cape.
Steve Morgan had given up his
trade, but not his daily habit of curs
ing Brant Durivage. He had lost
flesh, and his eyes had a wolfish,
vengeful look. In common with oth
ers, I fully expected a tragedy of some
kind, and I went r,o far as to share my
opinion Wim the constable, who nod
ded approvingly. '
The tragedy came, but not in the
manner expected. At ten o'clock on !
?ho nignt before thc day sot apart for '
the wedding a man whem I knew to \
be Brant Durivage's factotum, threw ?
open my office door, and rushing in,
startled me with the intelligence that .
his master had just been shot.
Thinking immediately af Steve !
Writing
continued lue man, laking an arrow j
from the table, "but I'm afraid there's
a bit of it left. He's shot under the j
left shoulder and and from behind; a j
bad wound, I'm thinking." And the ,
servant shook his head. ,
I fell at once to examining my pa
tient, and discovered that while the
barb had not gone deep enough tr.
touch. a vilal organ, the wound was
dangerous, especially li nie shaft had
been poisoned. I found also that the
servant was right about a piece of the
arrow head remaining .n the hurt, for
1 removed ii with my forceps and laid
it alongside the weapon on the table.
Meantime the people attached to
the estate were looking for the person
who had attempted Durivage's life.
Thc town constable had been sum
moned and the town itself was al
ready in an uproar. I remained with
Durivage until I could leave him to
the care of a nurse, and with ar
row and the detached head, I went
uack to my office. I was clear to me
that the shaft had come from some
distant land. I had seen many savage
weapons in collections, but never one
like it. The shaft proper was a lighL
reed, very straight and hard. One
end had been cut off transversely and
the other notched in order to receive
the bow string. Next came a piece of
bone nearly three inches in length.
One end of it had been passed into
the split, or open end of the shaft,
while thc other end of the bone was
slipped a short piece of reed, ovor
which, in turn, a strong wrapping of
intestine had been placed. All this
formed a socket for the true head of
the arrow, the none merely giving tho
shaft proper weight. I saw Um much
by the light of my office lamp; but I
saw more.
The "head" was the piece I had ex
tracted from the wound. It was of
ivory, and I now saw that it had
been attached to the bone weight in
such a manner as io loosen itself wht-n
anyone attempted to pull it from the
victim's body. Under tue microscope
I saw that the head of the singular
shaft had been coated with a sub
stance resembling glue, but which 1
decided was some deadly poison. It
was bitter an nauseating when applied
to thc tongue, and I had no doubt that
its virus was then spreading itself
through out Brant Durivage's system.
1 went back to the estate again be
fore daylight, and found my patient
raving in delirium. I administered
opiate after opiate, and a long time
passed before the medicine produced
the slightest effect. Thc servants
said he had not spoken rationally
since the shot, not even during his
quiet moments, and this gave mc
Email hopes of pulling him through.
Thc next morning Steve Morgan
was arrested on susicion. This did
not astonish me after what the pig
headed constable had said thc nigh',
before. Nobody believed thc young
man guilty, though ho did not express
any sympathy fer Durivage. and after
a hearing ho was discharged. He was
'strangely non-committal during tho ex
amination, and when it was over he
came into my office and took a chair.
"Doctor," said he. leaning toward
me with a smile, "they didn't ask me
to tell what I saw, did they?"
"? believe they di? not. Steve," I
answered, wondering what he knew.
on the Wall.
C. Harbaugh
I saw the man that did it!"
I looked strangejy at him, wonder
ing if he was not losing his wits.
"I paw him, but not till after the
shot." Steve went on. "I was up to
the i uise last night. I went there to
ask ant Durivage to listen to : rae
for ; inute, though I don't expect
hc*d . done it. Just as I was en
tering garden, for I knew I would
find hi i the library with the win
dow up. leard a sharp cry, "and. the
next me- it there passed a little man
carrying in ono hand a box. This is
as true as gospel, doctor! He. neve):
. saw me though I could have touched
him while he was passing; but -7
would not because I thought he hfld
finished Durivage. 1 ' j
Morgan then went on and described
the man with a minuteness that as
tonished mc. He did it so well fl
thought I could see him before me,
and at the end of his story he declared
his intention of repeating his adven
ture to no one else, not even in the
interests of justice.
"Tf he gets well, he'll marry Anr
nie," said Morgan, savagely, "and if
he dies, let him rot without beini
avenged !"
I watched Durivage closely for tea
days. I could see that the secret
poison was at work, and the case was.
a queer study that opened up to m?
a new field for investigation. During
those ten days the wounded mal
seemed tt> suffer a thousand deaths. |
On the afternoon of the eleventh
day I was hurried over to the house
by the butler, who said that Durivag?
was writing on the wall before? his
cot. At thc foot of the stair we were
met by the nurse, who with blanched
face cried that all was over.
Bounding up the flight two steps
at a time, I rushed into the bedroom
and found Durivage lying on his faco
on tho floor.
"You should have seen and heard
him," said thc frightened servant:
"He awoke and called at the top of
his voice for a pencil. I ran and got
him one, thrusting it into his hand
when I carno back. As his Angers
closed on it he laughed like a fiend,
md ris-ing in bed, wrote what you seo
?n thc wall yonder, and then fell back
ind writhed till he pitched out upon
.he floor.
Before this I was at tho cot and with
?urning eyes was looking-nay star
ng-at the writing on thc wall.
i was mure m?tu over uiysuiieu. i
lave never heard of thc written or
?poken words. They were all "Greek"
o mo, but I felt that they were con
lected with the awful death Brant
Durivage had died. During the next
few days there ran through my mind
nothing but "K'aa, K'aa, K'aa." I
liad the nurse repeat "Kala haethve"
until I had mastered it, and until I loft
tho Shropshire village ami located" io
London, an event in my career which
took place a year later, I did not let
the singular words escape me.
During this period Steve Morgan did
not go back to Annie. Ho wrote me
that he would not do so until thc mys
tery conected with Durivage's death
was solved, and I felt that the solu
tion would never come and bring the
two young hearts together.
One evening I was called to attend
ii man who had been run over, by a
butcher's cart near the Strand. He
had been carried to his lodgings near
by, and lay bloody and gasping on a
pallet of clingy rags. The moment I
saw the man a strange thrill took pos
ir: ssion of mc, and I recalled Steve
Morgan's description of the owner of
the poisoned arrow.
When 1 had dreased the wounds
made by the heavy wheelo of the cart,
and had my patient sitting up, with a
hot drink before him and his leng
dark fingers encircling thc glass, I
asked him who and what he was.
"I'm a Bushman." said he with a
chuckle, and then, seeing the look of
disbelief that I exhibited, he went on:
"You don't think so? I can prove it.
Look here."
He leaned toward his pallet, and
to my utter astonishment took from
beneath the pillow of rags a bow and
two arrows. I could not repress a
cry of amazement, and did not try.
The dark-faced little man was hold
ing the arrows toward me, and I could
see that they were exactly like the one
which had killed Brant Durivage.
"I had three, but I lost one Tome
time ago." continued my patient.
"Where did I lose lt? Never mind
that, doctor. I could go back to the
spot, but I will not. Ho, ho. He
knew what it was all the time. My
little arrows are more dangerous than
they look. I prick your hand with
one, and all your skill cannot save
your life. The marum tree grows no
where but among the. Bojesmen, the
little men o". South Africa. It looks
like your elm, but it has many thorns.
Its leaves arc the homes of the grub
that builds houses like the silkworm.
When we want poison for our arrows
we take a grub between thumb and
finger, and make it shed its greenish
fin ids upon the ivory head of the
shaft. That is all. Thc marum grub
is death. How-docs thc victim lie,
oh? Ho writhes in agony. He be
romes a giant in his madness. Ho has
few lucid intervals. It is terrible, ho,
ho!"
I was holding one of the arrows in
my hands.
"What do you call your poison?"^ 1
asked, looking up into his face, which
had tho leer of a fiend incarnate.
"K'aa. answered the little man, with
a laugh. Some people call it N'gwa
but K'aa ls its name."
I was calm now.
"And its antidote?" I said.
"We seldom tell that it has one,'
I crinned the stranger. "But I'll tel

COSTLY SODA FOUNTAINS.

"The great majority of the finer
soda fountains of today," said a soda
fountain manufacturer, "are built o?
Mexican onyx. Some run in cost up
to $15,000 or $20,000.
"A $15,000 soda fountain would be
made of the finest materials and wouid
be of great size. It might have 30
draft tubes a.id a hundred syrup cans.
"Very beam ifni onyx fountains of
thc dimensions more commonly used,
say with 10 syrups and three draught
tubes, can he bought for from $S50 to
$1200. In fact, a handsome onyx
fountain can DC bought for $(100.
"But everybody wants an onyx
fountain. There are yet purchasers
who prefer one of marble. A marnie
fountain with onyx trimmings could
be had at say $150. An old style
n-.arble fountain might be had for $100.
"Fifty years ago or thereabouts soda
water was drawn from a silver tuba
rising out. of the counter. Then came
the first visible soda fountains, small j
marble boxes placed on the counter.
From these developed thc elaborate
and often costly fountains of marble
that preceded the onyx fountain of
the present.
"Beautiful and costly marble was
brought from all parts of the earth
to be used in the construction or soda
fountains. But now thc fashion is
onyx, with a canopy or superstruc
ture of wood.
"Along with its great development
in beauty has come a corresponding
improvement in the soda fountains
working parts. Thc contemporaneous
fountain is far more convenient and
efficient in operation .than its old tim?
predecessor.
"As to thc consumption of soda
water, it is far greater now than ever
before. This is due in very consid
erable measure to thc widespread in
troduction of ice cream soda, lt
would probably not he unreasonable
to say that where ice cream soda io
sold at a low price thc sale of soda
water has been, within 10 years, quad
rupled.
"At thc same time some share o?
thc increase must bc attributed to the
far greater variciy and attractiveness
of thc soda water and other beverages
now supplied at the soda water coun
ter; to the great improvement in thc
compounding, made possible by im
proved fountains, and to the vast im
provement in all thc appliances and
utensils used about tho fountain.

the most commonly sung in America
of any late song of similar character.
Bamby's "Now the day is over. '
though generally associated with hymn

second to the same composer's "Sweet

"O hush thee, my babie!" is another
perfect cradle melody. The best music
of this character lately produced is
the "Dream" music in Humperdinck's

} LANGUAGE OF THE TURKEY.
An English Mat aral ist Thinks Ho UndeN
stands tho Gobbler*! Cries.
Nelson Wood, an English scientist,
has made a life-long study of the lan
guage of birds and he thinks he can
i not only understand what many of the
feathered creatures are saying, but
. also express things to them which
they understand. He has many inter
esting things to tell about the birds
he has met.
The creatures of the air, so he says,
taik the least; turkeys, chickens and
such feathered creatures, as they do
not fly very much, talk the most- The
explanation of this is natural.
The birds that do not fly are al
ways in more danger and they have
many notes of warning. Language
among them, of course, as it must
have been with primitive man, is but
an expression of .the simple needs:
Danger, hunger, warning, pleasure
and such sensations are the first emo
tions expressed.
To illustrate the various calls which
a turkey has. Mr. Wood cites a note
for overhead danger, another for
danger on the ground, a third for a
hawk in tho distance, another of com
plaint when being driven, a different
call in open meadow from that in
bushes, a special signal at night, as
well as a special kind of note used in
ordinary conversation.
Chickens have even more modes of
expression. A hen has three distinct
songs, one when seeking her nest,
another for calling her mate and a
third for crooning to herself or in the
search for food.
The rooster has several distinct
notes and Mr. Wood says that some of
these tho ordinary person never ob
serves. There is oue, a low fine whis
tle which the rooster uses sometimes
on a dark day when going to roost
but when the rooster really begins to
carry on an extensive conversation ia
when he meets another chanticleer in
battle.
It ranges all the way from a defi
ant chuckle which invites the other
fellow to fight as surely as the pro
verbial chip on a boy's shoulder, to a
feminine croon which means fear and
a dcsiie to retire.
Perhaps of all birds the parrot is
the most intelligent. People have
been accustomed to think of the par
rot as simply a mimic, but Mr. Wood
pretends to have known many that
actually understood the words they
were saying. One of his parrot friends ?
always saluted him with "Good morn
ing" carly in thc day and "Good
night" in the evening.
that ti!'.' blind man who plays mc nunn
organ day aller day at Grand avenue
bridge has a watch in his pocket. He
has a watch, and can tell time, too.
Yesterday a man dropped a nickel in
his cup, and, noticing the watch, asked
him for the time. It was a queer ques
tion to ask, but he saw the watch and
wanted to know whether thc blind man
was simply pretending to bo sightless.
"I think I can tell," said the blind
man. He hold it up close to his ear
and slowly turned thc stein-winder.
"One, two, three, four. fivo, six
seven, eight," he counted, and thou ho
said: "That means 72 minutes. I wound
up the watch tightly at 3 o'clock and
so the time ought to be about 12 min
utes past 4. Here, look and see how
near I came to it."
His questioner looked, and the time
was 4.1S. He was only six minutes
off.
"Do you mean to say that you can
tell the time of day by winding up
ye-ir watch?"
:iot exactly, but I can come mighty
near it; usually within ten minutes,
and It's very easy. too. All you have
to know ls how long one click in wind
ing up will run the watch. I'll explain.
Suppose that, at 3 o'clock I wind up my
watch until it is tight, as we say; that
Is, until another turn of the winder
would apparently break a spring. At
fj o'clock I wind the watch again and
find that the winder clicks 12 times
before thc watch is wound up to the
place where it sticks. Then I know
that 12 clicks will run tho watch 120
minutes, and that one click represents
10 minutes of time."-Milwaukee Sen

benefit is given by the hard working
cxhorters who are seen of an evening
preaching in the streets to the casual
listeners. Small enough seems the re
ward in contrast to their lab -s, but

The cane should never be used :is
the ordinary instrument of school
punishment. A cano may possibly
bring about irreparable damage, and
caning on the hands is tho most sense
less and cruel form of punishment im
aginable. The birch is the best im
plement of punishment for small boys.

in reason it does no harm-London
