JLD, handsome and geoer
ouh was tho young Regin
ald De Braey. Poaaeased
of every knightly accom
plishment. It waa little
wouuer that he soon won the leve of
?lie beautiful Blanche Faulconbrldge.
who was called the falreat lady la all
Gngland, In those old feudal timet.
Only one man In the land bore ill will
toward Sir Reginald, and he vaa Rich
ard Langley, a dark, haughty and evil
minded knight, who, once a suitor for
the fair hand of I?ndy Blanche, was re
jected for Sir Reginald De Bracy. Rent
with the fiercest pangs of jealousy he
had vowed a terrible vengeance against
the favored suitor, and the forthcoming
tournament seemed tb afford a good
chance for the fulfilment of hla vow.
At this tournament, which was to be
held In a few days, one of the events
-was to be a grand tilt between two par
ties of knights, each being twelve in
number. The peculiar feature of this
was that each knight was to preserve a
strict incognito till the end of the
match, all coats-of-arms being rigor
ously excluded, and the two parties to
lie distinguished front each other solely
t?y the color of their plumes; those of
one side being rod and the others
white. And till* arrangement suggest
ed to the mlud of Richard Langley a
plan which. If successful, would rid
Mm forever of his hated rival, Reglu
aid De Bracy.
The knights for each side had already
heon chosen, both himself and hih rival
belonging to the white plumed knights,
and it had also come to his kuowledge
that a certain knight of the opposite
Hhie was held absent by sicksftfl*.
And ho it. i'uiue to pax* that., on the
morning of the tournament, word was
sprem* Hint the mining knight, Her-1
bert Do Viiux, timl recovered and ar
rived at the ground* ready for the
light. A powerful looking man. his
fare coitcealcd by his armor, stoo?l in
tho doorway of l?e Viiux'a lent, and
was supposod by everybody lo be that
Individual hlmaelf. But this mnn was
in reality a burly rulhan, a tool of
l/nngley's. with Instructions to do his
utmost to put an end to the life of L>e
Bracy in the fl^lif about lo ensue.
He was iu reality more skillful with
his weapons than any of the knights
there assembled, but prevented by his
tow rauk from taking part, in any
knightly exercise.
As the time for the tournament np
proaehod the knights were agiMMublcd
In a large Inclosurc within the lists, De
Braey being anions them, little dream
ing of the deep laid plot, planned
against him. Standing a little apart
from the company were the two plot
ters.
"Note closely the while plume worn
l?y De Bracy," said T<nngley, In a !ow
tone. "Heest thou not, Bertram, a
"?mail particle of rod iu the upper pnrt?
Much risk have 1 run In placing It
there, and remember, when tho combat
comes, fall not iu xtrlklng lo the death
the knight thus marked."
"Ay, master, trust me for Hint." Ber
tram refilled, ami the pair separated.
Meanwhile Hir Reginald,unsuspicious
of danger, wan chatting gayly with his
bclrotluHl, who wa* leaning forward
from tlio pavilion n'mve.
"Take good care of thyself, Iteglu
aid." she was si.vinu; "for if y??u en
counter any danger, you may lie as
sured lli.it there will lie al Iram one

Then sin- lauuhed ga>ly, but Midden
l.v checked lirfucif. I In- keen i*y?? had
s-en Hi- viv| *|??? i*ticii* iu li-j lover's
plume, ami with quirk wit she :it once
divined thai it was placed there as a
distinguishing mark. Mltte suspecting
the terrible mission that trifle was des
tined to fulfill, she reuehed down her
shapely hand and managed lo detach
it from the plume without being ob
served. Then a slrango fancy came
into her mind- a wish to foil the de
sign* of the unknown person who had
fhut marked her lover?and bending
over she fastened It firmly to the plume
of another knight standing Just below
under the pretense of curling the
stranger's plume more gracefully.
But suddenly the trumpet sounded,

swged la one. It was a glorious flght,
aad tho hearts of the epectatoro,
throbbed madly with excitement as
they beheld. Bntriy each gallant
height held hie part, aad the eonteet
eeemed almost equal.
la the thickest of the fight waa the
low-bora ntfSan. Bertram, overwhelm
ing the white plomed knights one af
ter another with his prodigious blows,
and all the time searching eagerly for
his prey?a knight with a red spot on
his plume.
At last he esw the one besring this
mark. aad. forcing his way through the
conteetanta, was soon by his aide. One
terrific blow of his battle axe and the
doomed knlgbt. with a crushed skull,
lay bleeding on the sod.
With a thrill of exultation he felt
that he had fulfilled hla promise and
done to death the noble young knight*
Do Bracy. But hardly had he deliv
ered the blow when a white plumed
knight ewept up behind him. and with
a ponderoua stroke of bis sword felled
him from his horse, where he lay
stunned beside his victim.
Throwing himself from his horse the
conqueror plsced his foot on Bertram's
neck, crying to him to yield.
But at that moment the king, taking
pity on the brave knights, many of
whom were disabled, and on those of
the white plume, who seemed to be los
ing the day, threw down his warder
and the combst ended.
Then, ss wss previously agreed to.
each knight, without changing his posi
tion. removed bis helmet and displayed
his identity to the anxioua crowd.
And he who had struck down Ber
tram. removing his helmet, displayed
the features of Beginald De Bracy.
The one who had plotted hie death,
too, had fallen a victim to his own vile
plans, for on removing the helmet from
the head of him whom Bertram had
killed, the features of Sir Richard
Langley were exposed.
And Bertram, after recovering con
sciousness and being questioned in re
gard to his disguise, was forced to con
fess the whole plot, and received tho
punishment be so richly merited, while
Reginald lived to wed the lovely
Blanche, whose simple action bad

great commercial emporium of east
Siberia, and the capital of the Province
of Yakutsk, which, In most of its area
of 1,517,003 square milea, is a bare des

A driving horse belonging to Ijouift

underground trip at Kust Fourteentb

Which few horses would lmve sur
vived, nml which furnished a lot of ex- '
elteinent for himself and a crowd of
onlooker*. While fastened to a post,
in front of the store the horse freed
himself and started to Investigate the
hutehway. Slipping on the coment he
plunged half Into the opening, and
when discovered woe hanging over the
edge, held hack by the harness and

hoisted under the animal, when be
kicked himself free and fell onto the
platform, smashing the mechanism.
TJiore he lay without stirring until men
irecd him from the ropes and machin

Into the store, whence he was led back
to the street, trembling, but uninjured.

It Is sometimes bard to decide *what1
one may and what one may not eat j
from the lingers.
Bread, first of all. But it should not
be buttered In a broad flat slice nnd
eaten bite by bite. A small piece of
bread, preferably not more than enough
for a mouthful, should be broken from
the bread or biscuit, buttered and
transferred with the fingers to the
mouth.
Then crackers, celery, olives, pickles
of the small varieties, radishes nnd
bon-bons are eaten with the lingers.
Many of the dried fruits should be '
eaten from the fingers.
Cake is eaten with the fork o? is
broken and eaten like bread.
Com on the tob may be eaten from
the Angers. It is with corn as with

by W. L. JJtardjM, Q. M. O, it I
??iitlt of tkt Boyal Colonial I?tl
tot* jMtwdaj. Admiral Sir N. Bow
In4telth presided.
The ceremony of lire welkins, Mr.
Allardyce explained. Is performed by
i certain tribe nt the Island of Been,
end originated la a legend that In re
ward for baring spared the life of a
man he had dog oat of the groand,
one Tal Quailta was Invested with the
power of being able to walk over red
htft stones without being burned. An
eerth oven is made and filled with lay
ere of wood and stone. In this n fire
Is kindled about twelve Hours before
the fire walking takes place, and, when
the hot stones have bee* exposed by
brushing away the chsrcosl, the na
tives. under the direction of a master
of ceremonlee, walk over them bare
footed.
The temperature at the eCge of the
oven is sbout 120 degree Fahrenheit;
while on one occsslou. when the ther
mometer was suspended over the
stonee, It registered 282 degrees and
the solder wss melted. Yet, stated
Mr. Allardyce, after the ceremony the
natives show no signs of the terrific
ordeal through which they have gone.
By means of a number of Tlews the
lecturer gave a realistic Idea of the
ceremony ae performed nowadays.
Vlce-Admlral Lewis Beaumont de
scribed a fire walking ceremony as
witnessed by himself. Although those
who took part In It showed no signs
of discomfort, he remarked that ap
parently they did not like It very
much.
Replying to questions, Mr. Allardyce
said the only, explanation he could give
of the apparent Immunity from harm
following the process was that soles of
the feet of the natives were hardened
to an unusual degree through constsnt
walking on a sandy soil covering coral,
which became exceedingly hot under
the sun. There was also the element
of absolute belief by the native* in
the legend that they were proof against

Argentina and United State*.
"It ought to be hammered Into the
minds of the American people that
there Is a rich and powerful nation to
the south?a nation destined to rank
among the foremost powers of the
?world?of whose trade we are by our
own neglect getting but a fractional
part," said the Hon. John Barrett, ex
Minister to Argentina and present Min
Ister to Panama, at the New Wlllard.
"One of the easiest and most potent
Influences to bring about closer ties
of friendship and better commercial
relations with Argentina is the estab
lishment of a line of swift msll and
passenger steamships between New
York and Beunos Ayres. Of the
000,000 of traffic that Argentina had
with the outside world last year, the
United States participated therein to
the extent of only f24.000.000, whereas
we ought to sell to her and buy of her
more than all the rest of the world
combined. To-day a business man in
Buenos Ayres can write to London and
get an answer Dack In fifty days. If
the same letter had gone to New York
1t would take ninety days for a reply.
There are seven lines of swift-going
steamships plying between the Argen
tine capital aud various ports of
Europe, but all the vessels that come to
us from the United States are slow
freighters, unfit for the conveyance of
passengers. If we had these passenger
boats at this time, hundreds of wealthy
citizens of the big southern republic
would come to see the St. Louis Expo
sition, but they will slay at home
rather than to have to make the trip
via I/ondon.?Washington PoRt.
KtortUo I"or the Voice.
A vocal specialist, in emphasizing tho
rule that the voice to be kept in good
condition must be exercised (unused
powers soon weaken), says:
"I>o not go to the other extreme and
abuse tho vocal chords or strain tho
throat muHoles by shouting nnd scream
lng. Deep yawning removes throat
congestion, and Improves the circula
tion of the blood In these vital parts.
Singing, loud laughter and public
speaking will Improve the quality,
sweetness and endurance of the voice.
Deep breaths should be taken, and
the vowels repeated slowly In a deep,
full, round tone of voice a dozeli times
or more a day.
"Do not constrict or strain the vocal
chords. Talk softly and easily. A rich
resonant tone of voice is soon devel
oped by counting aloud wbilo going
through arm or body movements with
dumbbells, or the chest weight drill.
Count In a deep, smooth voice, open
the mouth wide and let the sound come
freely out."
One authority recommends as a
strengthening of the vocal chords
and throat muscles gargling tho
throat every morning with cold
water for one week, and the next
week wilth hot. This Is said to
prevent sore throat and in some cases
to cure It. Massage the neck muscles
with cold water morning and night
and rub them vigorously with a coarse
towel. Never cover the neck very
warmly, and do not wear anything
high or tight around it.?Piesbytvrlaii

as- a rale, la the way. They are too

race for success. Men hare taken to
lighter footwear. They want to car
ry jaat aa little weight as possible.
They, do not want anything that Inter
feres too rnnch with the suppleness of
the limbs. They have got to keep on
the go. Bat 1 was thinking more par
ticularly of the Influences in detail
which hare worked out the changes In
footwear. The modern method of liv
ing has beeu st war with the old style
of shoes, just as It has been at war
with old fashions in the matter of
clothes. Whj should a man or woman
wear heavy shoes In the cities of to
day? There Is no reason for it. There
are too many conveniences. A man
can step in s Car at his office door and
In a few minutes can step out sgnin
right at the door of his ho??e. It is
cheaper to ride than It is to b'iy shops.
We find In these conditions an explan
ation of the popularity of low quar
tered shoes in those latter days. 1
suppose after a while men and women
will be able to wear toe shoos without
any sort of Inconvenience, anil they
will be able to get around quite as
well as their forefathers did ia hoots
and shoes of a heavier kind. Upsides,
the development of sidewalk* in cit
ies has had much to do with changlrg
the character of shoos worn now. It
Is possible to keep out of the mud and
watpr, to kpep one's feet dry, without
crawling Into a cab or street car. So
I might go on and montiou many othpr
Influences which have beeu at work
to bring about the changes we observe
In footwear. But these things will nat
urally suggest themselves to persons
who take the trouble to keep In touch
with modern styles. It Is an interest
ing study, and one which may be pur
sued with profit."?New Orleans Times

but a variant has appeared in the soft

Dixie warehouse in Florence. The
crime was commltteed on the 6th of
August and the negro made his escape
to New York via Georgetown and a
steamer. But upon arrival at New
York he was arrested, his destination
having been discovered. It is due to the
efforts of Msyor W. H. Malloy, of Flor
ence, that the fugitive wss arrested.
Gov. Heyward has written the gover
nor of New York to the effect that the !
right man Is In custody and asks for ,
him to be delivered to the officer from
this State. There is a lot of red tape
to be complied with before a requisi

met last yesr and formed a regular
code of procedure in accordance with
the recognized ethics in such matters.

SOUTHERN GIRLS' BEAUTIKIKlt
It was noticed long ago that the
pretty girls of tbe South, who rude and
drove in the sun and wind, who boated,
sat upon the verandas and Invited sun
stroke generally, came out with an ex
cellent skin at the end of the s.>11*011.
One day a Northern girl discovered on
the dresser of a Southern beauty a
bottle of fluid which was labeled cu
cumber cologne.and upon being pressed
the pretty girl gsve up Its secfet. Cu
cumber cologne, which lias been famed
for more than a half century, is made
by taking two ounces each of spirits
of cologne, orange Juice, flower water
and rose water. A pinch of povdered
borax softens this, and six drops of
benzoin affords a tonic for the skin.
This can be shaken up In a bottle, set
away and used upon the skin after
It has been exposed to a sharp wind.
A DAINTY ROSE CUSHION.
One use to which roses can be put.
even after they have served their pur
pose In the table vase, or in the car
den. la In the making of a dainty
cushion. This cushion can be made at
small cost. The petals should be

selinc de soie makes a case for the
rose petals. The ruffles of the mous
seline de sole, edged with a double
ruffle of liberty silk, finishes the cush

GOWN COLORINGS.
Not one woman in ten realizes the
Importance of ascertaining and mak
ing a carvful study .?f one particular
color most becoming to her and of
always having a touch of it Introduced
In some part of her dress. The au
burn-haired woman looks best in
brown shading Into the tones of h?r
hair, or in rich dark greens. The yel
low-haired girl can wear red. Tbe
greens, too. are delightful 011 her. also
certain yellows and black, says the
Chicago News. White s loss becom
ing. but she must no brilliant in com
plexion or else inost delicate as to tint
to wear grays and blues to advantage.
Blue, particularly the cold and pale
blues, are best adapted to brunettes.
The woman whose hair is a dull
brown, and whose complexion and eyes
laek brilliancy, may s.ill be most at
tractive, but she should avoid briglit
hued or glittering liats. Dull brown,
neither yellowish nor reddish, should
be selected. Avoid the satin straws.
Take the dull finish.
Tim husband rs -boss."
When It conies to the pinch it is the
husband who is to decide what visitors
shall be admitted to the home?not the
wife. It is not for the wife to say
who may come and who must stay
awoy, even If she owns the home. At
least, that's what the Supreme Court
of Ohio says. The question of who
Is the head of the family recently came
up in Erie County in that State, and
was passed upon by 110 less than four
pourts. Oscar W. Green, it seems, is
one of the men who does not like his
mother-in-law. I11 fact, he dislikes her
so much that he does not want her to
visit him and his wife at their home,
and he gave her notice to that effect.
The mother-in-law kept 011 coming. Just
the same. One day her son-in-law met
her at the door, and refused her admit
tance. She immediately had him ar
rested. and he was found guilty in the
Probate Court of assault and battery
and lined $10 and costs. This finding
was affirmed by the Court of Common
rieas, but reversed by the Circuit
Court 011 the ground that a man's home
is his castle, and that the husband is
the lord of tho castle. Or, in other
words, he Is the "boss." The Supreme
Court hns now aftlrmed this decision.
THE "CHARMING" HOSTESS.
We offer read and hoar of n "charm
ing hostess, a "delightful hostess," but,
says a correspondent, when we try to
to be a "charming hostess" ourselves,
we find the task not quite as easy as
we would v/lsh. Woirer, particularly
women In small households, know only
too well that when one ardently de
sires the wheels of the domestic
ckariot to run smoothly that Is the
very time when,"like lMicroah's chariot
of old, they drau heavily, and the fear
of them stepping altogether plunges
the hosjess 111 to a sen of despair. To
be a delightful hostess under these cir
cumstances requires some fortitude
and self-denial, too, for one naturally
feels inclined to pour forth the do
mestic wws to a sympathetic ear, but
If one would be "charming" this incli
nation must bo sternly resisted, for
what can be more tiring to a guest
than to hear a long story of domestic
warfare, when, in all probability, she
has Just the same state of affairs at
home? No, no, that will never do: and
although it does not always appear as
If virtue brought Its own reward, In
this case It does, for In amusing the
ruests tbe burden of household cares
la forgotten for a tliue, at least,
thereby considerably lightened.
