But our cotton business is only an addition to our 'GEN ERAL MERCANTILE Business. We have by our dilli gence made ourselves leaders in trade, not by waiting for trade to come to us, but by our reaching out and coming in touch with the farmers of the country, and selling them Goods as cheap as the lowest, and giving to them for their products as much or more than the highest. These are facts that have been demonstrated by our con tinued increase of business.

Catarrh begins with a stubborn cold in the head, inflammation or sore ness of the membrane or lining of the nose, discharge of mudus matter, headaches, neuralgia and difficult breathing, and even in this early stage is almost intolerable.

It affects the kidneys and stomach as well as other parts of the body.

LAZA MARY HARTWEL (Baswed Vpon the Mystery. baapbb, Jon of Lour X Co;pyright, 1901 by the BO CHAPTER XI. IEPPE, high and glaring white above the water, will always symbolize to me the gate of France. The nobility of the view remained in my thoughts when half the distance to Paris was trav ersed. I could shut my eyes and see it as I lay on the straw in a posthouse sta ble. A square hole in the front of the grenier gave upon the landscape. Even respectable houses in that part of the country were then built with few or no windows, but delicious masses of grayness they were, roofed with thick and overhanging thatch. I looked out of the grenier window upon the highroad and upon the June sun In the act of setting, for we had supped and gone early to rest after a hard flay. Post horses were stamping underneath, all ready for some noble count who intended to make another stage of his journey before nightfall. Small obtrusive cares, such as the desire that my shoes should last well into Paris, mingled with joy in the smell of the earth at sunset and the looking forward to seeing Mme. de Ferrier again. I wrapped myself ev ery night in the conviction that I should see her and more freely than I had ever seen her in America. There was a noise of horses gallop ing, and the expected noble count ar rived, being no other than De Chau mont with his post coaches. He step ped out of the first, and Ernestine stepped out of. the second, carrying Paul. She took him to his mother. The door flew open, and the woman I adored received her child and walked back and forth with him. Annabel leaned out while the horses were changed. I saw Miss Chantry, and my heart misgave me, remembering her brother's prolonged lament at separa tion fro' He ted, already shut into those public beds which are like cupboards, for the day had begun for us at 3 of the morning. But if e chose to show himseif and fall upon De Chaumont for luxurious convey ance to Paris I was determined that Skenedonk and I should not appear. I wronged my poor master, wLo told me afterward he watched through a crack of the cupboard bed with his heart in his mouth. The pause was a very short one, for horses are soon changed. Mme. de Ferrier threw a searching eye over the landscape. It was a mercy she did nt see the hole in the grenier through which I devoured her, daring for the rst time to call her secretly Eagle-' he name that De Chaumont used with ommon freedom! And how strange s this-that one woman should be to a man the sum of things! And wrhat was her charm I could not tell, for I began to understand there were many beautiful women in the world, of all favors, and shapely perhaps as the one f my love. Only her I found draw ig the soul out of my body, and none f the others did more than please the ye like pictures. The carriages were gone with sun nd it was no wonder all fell gray ver the world. De Chaumnont had sailed behind us and he would be in Paris long before I had first felt some uneasiness and read of being arrested on our journey, though our Breton captain obtained for us at Dieppe, on his own pledge, a kind of substitute for passports. We were a marked party by reason of the octor's lameness and Skenedonk's ap pearance. The Oneida during his for er sojourn in France had been en ouraged to preserve the novelty of his ndian dress. As I had nothing to give him In its place, It dld not become e to find fault. And he would have een more conspicuous with a cocked at on his bare red scalp and knee reeches instead of buckskins. Peas nts ran out to look at him, and in eturn we looked at them with a good will. We reached the very barriers of Paris. however, without falling into trouble. And in the streets were so :any men of so many nations that Skenedonk's attire seemed no more bi arre than the turbans of the east or the white burnoose of the Arab. It was here that Skenedonk took his role as guide. He took a bee line upon is old tracks, and when the place was sighted we entered a small court, where a gruff man.. called a concierge, having a dirty kerchief around his ead, received us doubtfully. He was ot the concierge of Skenedonk's day. We showed him the coin and Dr. Chan try sat down In his chair and looked at him with such contempt that his re spect Increased. The house was clean, and all the stairs we climbed to the roof were well scoured. M'y poor master stretch d himself on a bed by the stooping wall. We paid for our lodgings, three xmodous rooms, though in the man sard, my secretary dragging himself to sit erect with groans and record the Increasing debt of myself and my servant. "Come, Skenedonk," I then said. kLet us go down to the earth and buy omething that Dr. Chantry can eat.'' .We got a loaf of bread as long as a staff', a pat of butter in a leaf and a bottle of wine. My servant, though anused to squaw labor, took on him self the porterage of our goods, and I pushed from street to street, keenly pleased with the novelty, which held omewhere in its volatile ether the erson of Mmne. de Ferrier. Senedonk blazed our track with his bservant eye, and we told ourselves e were searching for Dr. Chantry's eef. Being the unburdened hunter, I mdertook to scan cross places and so rae unexpectedly upon the Rue St. Lntoine, as a man told me it was call K1 and a great hurrahing that filled he mouths of a crowd blocking the horoughfare. "Long live the emperor!" they shout The man who told me the name of the treet, a baker all In white, with his tray upon his head, objected contemp tuously. "The emperor is not in Paris. He is In Boulogne." "You never know where he is-he is here, there, everywhere!" declared an ther workman in a long dark garment ike a hunting shirt on the outside of his small clothes. "Long live the emperor! Long live L CATHERWOOD S'urroundirng the Fate of the 'VI. and Marie Antoincite) WEN-MERKILL COMPANY i pmimdt' Torward as two or 'three heavy coaches checked their headlong -,peed and officers parted the crowd. "There he is!" admitted the baker behind me. Something struck me in the side, and there was Bellenger, the potter, a man I thought beyond the seas in America. His head as I saw We were a markcdb party. it that moment put the emperor's head out of my mind. He had a knife, and though be had used the handle, I fool ishlycaught It and took it from him. With all his strength he then pushed me so that I staggered against the wheel of a coach. "Assassin!" he screamed, and then Paris fell around my cars. If anybody had seen his act, nobody refrained from joining in the cry: "Assassin! Assassin! To the lamp post with him!" I stood stupefied and aotonished as an owl blinking in the sunshine, and two guards held my collar. The coaches lashed away, carrying the man of destiny-as I have since been told he called himself-as rapidly as possi ble, leaving the victim of destiny to be bayed at by that many headed dog, the mongrel populace of Paris. CHAPTER XII. ONE glimpse of Skenedonk I caught while we marched along rue St. Antoine, the gendarmes protecting me from the crowd. He thought I was going to the scaffold, whierd' many a strapping fellow had gone in the Paris of his youth, and fought to reach me, laying about him with his loaf of bread. Skene donk would certainly trail me and find a way to be of use unless he broke into trouble as readily as I had done. My guards crossed the river in the neihborhood of palaces and came by many windings to a huge pile rearing its back near a garden place, and there I was turned over to jailers and dark ness. The entrance was unwholesome. A man at a table opened a tome which might have contained all the names in Paris. He dipped his quill and wrote by caddlelight. "Political offender or common crim inal?" he inquired. "Political oil'ender,'' the officer an swered. "What Is he charged with?" "Trying to assassinate the emperor in his post chaise." "La, Ia. Ia!" the recorder grunted. "Another attempt! And gunpowder put In the street to blow the emperor up only last week. Good luck attends him-only a few windows broken and some common people killed. Taken in the act, was this fellow?2" "With the knife In his hand." "What name?" the recorder inquired. I had thought on the answer and told him merely that my name was Wil llans. "Eh, bien. M. Veeleeum. Take him to the east side among the pol'itical of fenders," said the master jailer to an assistant or turnkey. "But it's full," responded the turn "Shove him in some place." They searched me. and the turnkey lighted another candle. Tihe meager ness of my outp'ut was beneath re mark. When he had led me up a flight of stenc steps he paused and in quired: "Have you any mnoney?' "No." *So much the worse for you." bWhalt is the name of this prison?" I asked. "Ste. Pelagie," he answered. "If you have no money and expect to eat here, you better give me some trinket to sell for you." "I have no trinkets to give you." He laughed. "Your shirt or breeches will do." "Are men shut up here to starve?" The jailer shirugg~ed. "The bread is very bad, and the beans too hard to cat. We do not furnish the rations; it is not our fault The rule here is nothing buys nothing. But sleep in your breeches while you can. You will soon be ready enough to eat them." I was ready enough to eat them then, but forebore to let them know it. The whole place was damp and foal. We passed along a corrider less than four feet wide, and lhe unlocked a cell from which a revolting odor came. There was no light except what strained through a loophole under the ceiling. He turned the key upon me, and I held my nose. Oh, for a deep draught of the wilderness! There seemed to be an iron bed at one side, with a heap 01f rags on top. I resolved to stand up all night before trusting myself to that couch. The cell was soon explored. Two strides in each direction measured it. The stone walls were marked or cut with names I could dimly see. I chose one of the two corners not occupied by the ill odored bed, sat down and fell asleep, dropping my cares. A grating of the lock disturbed me. The jailer pushed a jug of water into the room and replaced the bolts. Afterward, I do not remember any thing except that the stone was not warmi and my stomach craved, until a groan in my ear stabbed sleep. I sat up, awake in every nerve. There was nobody in the cell with me. Perhaps the groan had come from a neighbor ing prisoner. Then a faint stir of covering could be heard upon the bed. Srose .andl presseasn fnr nas Tcould into-ny crrnr. No Deast or the' wni dernerss ever had such terror for me as the unknown thing that had been my cell mate half a night without my knowledge. Was a vampire-a demon-a witch a ghost locked in there with me? It moaned again, so faintly that com passion instantly got the better of superstition. "Who is there?" I demanded, as if the knowledge of a name would cure terror of the suffering thing naming itself. I got no answer and, taking my reso lution in hand, moved toward the bed, determined to know what housed with me. The jug of water stood in the way and I lifted it with instinctive answer to the groan. The creature heard the splash and I knew by its mutter what it wanted. I poured water on my handkerchief and bathed the face. That would have been my first desire in extreme mo ments. The poor wretch gave a re viving moan, so I felt emboldened to steady the jug and let drop by drop gurgle down its throat. Forgetting the horror of the bed, I sat there, repeating at intervals this poor ministration until the porthole again dawned and blackness became the twilight of day. My cell mate could not see me. I doubt if he ever knew that a hand gave him water. His eyes were mean ingless and he was so gaunt that his body scarcely made a ridge on the bed. Some beans and mouldy bread were put in for my rations. The turnkey asked me how I intended to wash my self without basin or ewer or towels, and inquired further if he could be of service in disposing of my shirt or breeches. "What ails this man?" He shrugged, and said the prisoner had been wasting with fever. "Who is he?" "A journalist, or poet, or some mis erable canaille of that sort. He will soon be out of your way." Our guard craned over to look at him. "Oui-dal He is a dying man! A priest must be sent to him soon. I remember he de manded one several days ago." But that day and another dragged through before the priest appeared. It was night by the loophole when our turnkey threw the door open. I heard the priest and his sacristan joking in the corridor before they entered, carrying their sacred parcels. The priest was a doddering old fellow, almost deaf, for the turnkey shouted at his ear, and dim of sight, for he stooped close to look at the dying man, who was beyond confession. "Bring u; something for a tempo rary altar," he commanded the turn key, who stood candle in hand. The turnkey gave his light to the sacristan,. and, taking care to lock us in, hurried to obey. I measured the lank, ill strung assist ant, more an overgrown boy than a man of brawn, but expanded around his upper part by the fullness of a short white surplice. He had a face cheerful to silliness. The turnkey brought a board sup ported by crosspieces, and withdrew, taking his own candle, as soon as the church's tapers were lighted. The sacristan placed the tempo rary altar beside the foot of the bed, arayed it, and recited the Confiteor. Then the priest mumbled the Mi sereatur and Indulgentiam. I heard and saw with exquisite keenness, yet I was thinking, "If I do not get out of bere he will have to say those words ver mec." I thought how easy it would be to strip the loose surplice over the sacris tn's head. There was a swift clip of he arm around your opponent's neck which I had learned in wrestling that ut the breath off and dropped him as imp as a cloth. It was an Indian trick. [ said to myself it would be impossible o use that trick on the sacristan if he eft the cell behind the deaf old priest. I did not want to hurt him. Still he Ther a igtigimya . Thepre s dipped is thmb in oi nd wvith it crossed 'the eyes, ears, nose, outh and hands of him who was leav ng the use of these five senses and in truents of evil. Then he placed a lighted candle in the sifrned fingers and ended with: "Accipe lamspadem ardentem custodi mctionem tuam." I said to myself: "I cannot do it! Cobody could: It is impossible!" The sacristan now begento strip the tar and pack all the sacred imple nents into theiir eases, prep'aring his load In the center of the room. The an was deadl. The sacristan rapped upon the door o let the turnkey know that it was me to unlcek. The turnkey opened a gap of doorway through whIch he ould see the candles and the bed. He pened no wider than. the breadth of the priest, who stepped out as the sac istan bent for the portables. There was lightning in my arm as it ook thle sacristan around the neck and tet him limp upon the stones. The tail f the priest's cassock was scarcely hrough the door. "Eh bien, sacristan," called the turn hey. "MIake haste with your load. I have this death to report. Hie is not so retty that you must stand gazing at him all night:" I had the surplice over the sacristan's ed and over mine and backed out with my load, facing the room. It was impossible, but I had done it! [TO B3E CONTINUED.] Makes A Clean Sweep. There's nothing like doing a thing :horoughly. Of all the Salves you ever heard of. Bsucklen's Arnica Salve is the best.

The natives of Venezuela and ad joining countries on the north side of the river Amazon often avail them selves of the services of a native crane to care for their poultry and also, in the place of collies or shepherd dogs, to guard and herd their domestic animals. This remarkable bird, which the In dians call yakamik. and the ornitholo gists Psophia crepitans, Is found in a wild state in the great forests which lie between the northern coasts of South America and the Amazon river, particularly in Venezuela and British Guiana. The birds never leave the for ests unless shot or captured. They may be trusted with the care of a flock of sheep or domestic ~ fowls and every morning will drive the ducks and poul try to their feeding places and, care fully collecting any stragglers, bring them safely home at night. A yakamik soon learns to know and obey the voice of its master, follows him, when per mitted, wherever he goes and appears delighted at receiving his caresses. It pines at his absence and welcomes his return and is extremely jealous of any rival. Should any dog or cat ap proach it flies at it with the utmost fury and, attacking it with wing and beak, drives It away. It presents itself regularly during meals, from which it chases all domestic animals and even the negroes who wait on the table if It is not well acquainted with them, and only asks for a share of the eatables after It has driven away all who might aspire to a favorable notice from the family.-Brooklyn Eagle. A Long Dance. William Kemp, an English comic ac tor who flourished during the last years of Queen Elizabeth ald who belonged to the same company as Shakespeare and "created" Dogberry, danced from London to Norwich, a distance of 114 miles. He was accompanied by a serv ant, an umpire and a man with a tabor and pipe. Crowds hindered his start on Feb. 11, 1600, and many met him at every place. Several tried to dance with him, but none could rival his pace. The most successful were women. Al though delayed by a snowstorm, he did it In nine days, and on the way accept ed a challenge or two, each time com ing off best, except when a Chelmsford maiden of fourteen danced till he was 'ready to lie down." 'On his return he wrote an account of it, which ends with a warning to those with whom he had made wagers that if they did not pay up he would publish their names.
