Occasionally I liave t, resort to the courts, but try to avoid them :is much as possible." -I think I could attend to all such noatters to your satisfaction." said Al bert contidently: "they are not hard tasks." Very wrell," replied Mr. Nason. "I have decided. partly at the request of my son and partly from my own esti mate of your ability, to give you the tr'il. I will pay you tweity-five hun dred dollars per annum to look after my needs. and you are also at liberty to take such other business as comes to you so long as you do not neglect mine." "I thank you. 'Mr. Nason. for this offer." replied Albert. rising and prof fering his hand, "and I accept gladly and will devote all my time, if need be, to your service." "Very good." responded Mr. Nason; "separate yourself from Frye at once, or between now and the new year. and in the meantime I would suggest that you rent a suitable office. There are one or two vacant in a building I own on Water street that will serve very well. and when you are through with Mr. Frye come and see me. I shall consider you In my employ from now on. and as you may need funds in fitting up your office I will advance you a little on your salary," and with out further comment he turned to his desk. and wrote and handed Albert a check for $500. 'I should prefer," he added hastily, as if to prevent any word of thanks, "that you make no mention whatever of our agreement to Mr. Frye. or in fact to any one. until after January 3st." Then rising and ofering his hand to Albert as if to dis miss him. he added: -Come out to my house any even ing, 3Mr. Page. We shall be glad to see you, and I am usually at home." There are moments when our emo tions nullify all attempts at speech, and to Albert Page this was such a one. "Never mind the thanks now," said Mr. Nason as he saw Albert's ijgitation. "Put your thanks into your work, and in a year we will talk it over." "And this is the man 1. had almost hired myself out to spy upon!' said Albert to himself as he left the store. CHAPTEIt IX. LDERT tried to find some plausible exeuse for leaviniig Frye. He did not want to make an enemy of hin. and more especially- now that he was to succeed him as John Nason's legal ad vIser. It wvas while perplexed with the situation and trying to solve it that it solved itself. Fryve was out, and Albert was, as he had been for three days. thinking how to escape, when a red faced and rather bellicose sort of man came in and in quired for Frye. "My name is Staples." lie said. "and I've got a lawsuit on my hatnds. I've laid the facts before your pairtner:.

"We went to Beverly to see to the housing in of his yacht for the winter." "And what did you say to Mr. Sta piles the day before. I would like to know'r" continued Frye in a sneering tone. *Ile has retained ine for an ae tion for breach of contract. and you have told him he had no grounds for suit. I~e came in yesterday, mad as a wet hen, and wanted his money back. Are you a fool'." "d'aybe I am," replied Albert, trying hard to keep cool, -but I do not care to be told of it. Mr. Staples explained his case to me. and I inadvertently told him that the agreement he held was of no value in law, which is the truth." "And what has that to do with it?" said Frye. with biting sarcasm. "I didn't hire you to tell the truth and lose me I paying client. If that is your ide of law practice you had bet ter -o b'ck to s:indgate and hoe corn for a living. You have nuIule a mess of it nov aud lost MO several hundred dollars in fees."

For a few minutes the vo looked at each other, and then Frye wveakened. "You are foolish." he said in a inodi fied tone. "to act SO hasti.V. Perhaps I have spoken rather rudely, but you must admit you gave me provocation. Do not throw away a good chance for a few hasty words." -I do not care to discuss it." atswver ed Albert firmly. "Tle role of lprivate detective that you want ine to asstumne is not to my t:isie antywavWy. and your words have convinced ile we can never get alon. together. I will not remain longer on any terim." "And what will you do now':" sneer ed Frye. a sinister look entering his yellow eyes. "Steal or starve ?' "Neither." replied Albert defiantly. "I'll go back to Sandgate and hoe corn first." Frye's arrogance melted. and as he turned and began to play with a paper cutter lie said meekly: "Come. Mr. Page, overlook it all. I spoke too hastily, and I atpologize." "Will yon oblige me with the small balance diue ic today." asked Albert. "or shall I call again for it." "And it we part company now," niut tered Frye. "what am I to expect? Are you to be a friend or an enemy?" "11f you refer to your scheme to blackmail John Nason." replied Albert resolutely and not mincing words. "I am too ashamed to think I ever lis tened to yo r pr'o a - t- even speak of it." It was a hard blow and made Frye wince, for it was the first time he had ever' been openly called a villain, but he made no protest. Instead, he si lently wtrote a check for Albert's due andi handed it to hint. "I amt much obliged. Mr. Frye.

A LOST ART. Ilie Blend nf 3t'etals Which Certaiu Fi ame and fortunae aw~ai t the luclty in. divdual wtho asa rediscover the comn binat ion of miet ais f'ron which the Egyptians. the Aztes aind the Incas of Peru mtadle their tools and arms. Though each of these nations reached a high state of civilization. none of tb'nr ev-er discovered iron in spite of the fact that the soil of all three coun tries was largely impregnated with It. Their substitute for it was a combina tion of metals which had the temper of steel. Despite the greatest efforts the secret ef this composition has baf fled scientists and has become a lost art. The great explorer. Ihumboldt, tried to discover it from an analysis of a chisel found in an ancient Inca silver mine, but all that he could fmnd out was that it appeared to he a com bination of a small portion of tin with copper'. This combination will not give the hardness of steel, so it is evident that tin and copper could not have been its only component parts. Whatever might have been the nature of the me tallie combination,. these ancient races were able so to prepare pture copper that it equaled in temper the finest steel produced at the present day by the most scientifically approved proc ess. With their bronze and copper in struments they were able to quarry and shape the hardest known stones, uch as granite anid porphyry, and even cut emeralds and like substances. A rediscovery of this lost art would revolutionize mny trades in which steel at present holds the monopoly. If copper cotuld thuts be tempered now its advantage over steel would be very great, and it would no doubt be pre ferred to the latter in numerous indus tries. It is a curious fact tihat, though this lost secret still baffles modern sci entists, it must have been discovered inependenitly by the three races which made use of it so long ago.-New Yoric Herald.

John Clay, the father of Henry Clay, the distinguished statesman, was not only a Bastist, but a Baptist preacher. He resided most of his life in what is known as 'the slashes" of Ianover, and his farm, on which he, lived for many years. is two or three wiles fron Ashland. Here his son Ilenry was born, and probably Porter Clay. who removed to Kentucky and became a distinguished Baptist min ister. Robert B. Semple, in his "is tury of Virginia Baptists," says that the Black Creek Baptist eburch in Uanover county was originated by John Clay and that he was pastor of the Chickahominy church and did much missionary work in the region around.

Experienced hunters are on the careful lookout for all such animals, and should it happen that the steeds are runni!, elose t: one another the equine a. athe ribbon bedecked tail is given a- wide berth, as it is more than probable that it will lash out with its hind legs to the serious dis navantage of its neighbors. In the ex eitelent of the chase horses almost lose their leadIs. and nn animal that naturally is not in any way vicious or inclined to be bad tempered will do the most unexpected things in the way of kicking, rearing and biting.-London Telegraph.

EIP1 PTIN R WO CAVALRY HORSES. Englinh iLLtnry Method of TraininM Them to Swim. The most Interesting and amusing o all the sights of Aldershot. England, is the big reservoir. or lake, where ca airy horses from all parts of the world are trained to swim with a thorough ness that rivals even the Italian system of horse training. It is well known, by the way, that cavalry horses in the Italian army go through almost as much training as though they were intended for a circus. and the writer has often been arnazed to see patrician Roman officers riding their fine ciarger-, down steep flights of stone stairs and down especially constructed precipices which 'Jok as thiough they were especially invented to encolpasis the destruction of both horse and rider. Agtin. the writer witnessed the as tonishing army maneuvers of the Itil ian troops in the river Arno at Flor ence and also at Spezzia, the great naval arsenal of Italy The Count of Turin was seen leading his regiment "out to sea," the prince often dis mounting and himself swimming with - one arm about his charger's neck. The newly received horses at Alder shot, however, coming as they do most ly from inland regions, have a deep seated objection to the water, and as their riders are for the most part scant Ily clad indeed the struggles between tutor and "pupils' are ludicrous In the extreme. If it Is found absolutely3 impossible to coax the animals into water deeper than their knees or g-irths colla;psible boats are used and the re fractory animal dragged by main force beyond his depth. when he has to swim for dear life.-II.
