Hernandez, white with rage, thrust I'onto behind him and leaned far over thy ? dge of the cliff shaking hiH clenched hand lmpotently at the brute. "IJo as I Hay," he commandod. "1 will Hay you if you don't." H'j leaned too far, not for his own safety, but for the Hafoty of nome of Ills belonglugH. A paper packet wrig gled eaHlly and Joyously out of his broaut pocket and Hlipped easily and Joyously down the cliff, landing almost at Annette's feet. Tho brute t urued ' suddenly, darted forward, stretched forth a huge hand and Jerked Neal from hi? precarious position up to the ledge ? up to safety.. The three stood there clinging to tho side of the cliff; the brute pant ing with wonder, Neal and Annette panting with relief. Suddenly Annette stooped and picked up a packet that lay at her feet. Hhe uttered a little cry of recognition ?and with good caiiHo. It was the identifying map? part of the ovidenco that linked her with the ,lost IbIo of Cinnabar. Ten minutes later Neal flung up his hands and cheered ? ami with good cause. Over the brow of a hill, clam boring like mad, there swarmed up through the Jungle a crowd of United States marines. Hernandez and I'onto Haw them from above and with wild oaths turned and Incontinently fled. The brute, j obeying a sudden impulse, crept swift ! ly along the ledge and followed his re* I treating masters. i Neal and Annetto ascended more i cautiously and carofully. They met The Brute Slowly Raised the Rock ! Above His Head. the little squad of marines on the top of the cliff and joined them in the double quick toward the Aztec strong hold. They reached the clearing. Tho gates of the walled city were open and the walls bristled with armored Aztec warriors. The marines fixed their bay onets and made roady for a charge. Suddenly, however, Neal held up his hands. "Listen," he exclaimed. Prom the unseen waters beyond there was the boom of a gun. "It's my gun." said Neal. "1 know her when she speak." -my six-inch gun." The officer in charge' of the squad held up his hand. "Halt.'' he com mande I. llis squad halted. It was woll they did.

The smallest room in most houses, it Is usually given in the plans . Iin amount of intention t Jin t might seem out of all proportion to Un rest of the house. And yet the ordi ! i nary entrance, whether it be a mere vestibule, a spacious hall of the coin ' nial style or, as iu our preson! day : fashions, a part of the living room set ( Off by an archway, is quite unsatisfac tory. it Is unsatisfactory for this rea son?that the entrance way Is designed i and decorated from the standpoint oT the impression It makes on visitors, whereas the Impression we should seek .is not t hit t made upon guests, but upon ourselves; the occupants of the house Too often we give ihv entrance a se vere treatment that impresses the stu dent ot' beauty or that amazes the less discriminating visitor by t lie other ex treme of lavish display. But how. does , either of these two types of entrance affect those who come Into, the house many times every day. the good man and Ids good wife and tludr children?

Good Health. i Suppressing Swearing. I'rofane as well as legal oaths have been the subject of many -parliamen tary measures in England. No fewer than live separate bills having the pre vention of swearing ? for their object were presented during the reign of James I., but it Was not until 1623! that an enactment was tlnally carried defining and controlling the offense- i In 1(135 a public department was es tablished to collect the lines enforced by this law. The otlieials of this de partment. of whom one was appointed In every parish, were allowed 2s. 6d. in the pound on the money thus col lected. and the balance was paid over to the bishop for the benefit of the de serving poor. These penalties ceased to be enforced after the restoration, but were revived by a statute of Wil liam and Mary and still further in creased under George 11. Stereoscopic Surveying. There Is In use a stereoscopic method of photographtcsurveylng. iMiotographs ure taken at two points with a survey* ing camera. the plates being exposed Iff the vertical plane passing through both stations. The developed plates, or pos itives from them, being then placed in a stereoscopic measuring machine that combines the pictures, a brief calcula tion gives the exact position of any de sired point. The effective range of the instrument is put at about five miles, and the method is said to be of particu lar advantage in mapping large areas of mountainous country. A Real Grievance. Magistrate?

We find it to be sufficient to heat comfortably, rooms, and have never had the least trouble with it nor paid? out "a dime for repairs. We start fire in it in "early winter* an it is never out until we discontinue it in the spring. We have never removed the heater from its first se? ting, nor have we ever found it necessary to polish the el tiimmings and I do not see a crack or break in thestovcM anywhere, not even a piece of mica havin# been replaced. ? This is a strong statement but the stove is in my hofriM lor anyone to inspect if they so desire. j 9 It is a great satisfaction to buy goods of such merit an ? ? am glad to recommend the "Round Oak" to anyone \vno? mu> be interested.
