lie writes concerning a valuable
method for securing a native illuminant
and powder producer in the
tropics. lie says that after many
scientific laboratory trials it has been
that from the bulb of the cotTee bean
a good quality and large quanity of
alcohol can be extrraced. Up to date
the bulb has been useless. It is well
known in the coffee-growing districts
that of the coll'ee pod only the coll'ee
bean has been of value, the llesh of
the pod being a wasteproduce.lt is
true that from the bulb a good and
sufficient quanity of alcohol can be extracted
by distillation it is of tbe
greatest benefit to all coffee-producing
countries as the alcohol will be
used for illumination and for any other
purpose. Many interior towns
and houses are illuminated by petroleum,
which has to be brought from
from the United States in boxes and
shipped on muleback over high mountains
and bad roads to the interior at
a great expense. The import of petioleum
to t he coffee-growing countries
may suffer greatly in consequence.

An Instrument
of the Law
By FRANK H. SWEET
Oepyrtght, 1I**\ by Frank II. Sweet
TLLAT nn officer of the law could
bo wholly an Instrument of execution
was exemplified by
Sheriff Turner. During twenty
years of rounding up criminals of all
sorts ho had never once allowed per
soual feeling to Interfere with duty.
With him an order was not to be tampered
with even in the mode of executing.
and If ho was susceptible of such
otticlal weaknesses as sympathy and
Indecision they never appeared upon
the surface. Moreover, ho was a keen
reader of faces and had a memory that
was far reaching and relentless.
80 It cumo about that the man who
had Sheriff Turner 011 his trail had
causo to fear, and if there were opportunity
for doubling or twisting
among the labyrinth of city buildings
or fastnesses of deep forests he took
advantage of it to the utmost and then
counted himself a lucky man If he escaped.
The sheriff was In a river town working
up an Important case when the
levee gave way and allowed the overcrowded
waters of the Mississippi to
leap forth In a wild, resistless tlood.
It did not matter that he was almost
upon his quarry or that a few minutes
would have ended a long three months'
chase. The Hood was not a respecter
of law or of shrewdness and determination,
and he was forced buck, and

niul boro nwny his success as easily us
they had torn the mighty levee from
Its foundations and scattered it over
the fertile tlolds of the sugar plantations.
Put more disastrous than flooded
fields or thwarted law were the objects
which the mad flood bore upon its surface
or drew down from time to time
In its turbulent depths. Tlio fragment
of a negro cabin, with perhaps half a
dozen frightened faces peering from
Its unsubmerged angles, would whirl
and eddy with the conflicting currents
until some obstructing rock or tree
would give it a violent Jar, when one
or all of the faces would disappear.
Floating bits of wreckage of all kinds

had their unwilling passengers, cats
with big eyes and humped backs, do
inestic fowls craning tbelr necks to
keep above the surging water and even
occasional farm animals, whose frantic
struggles had gained them this temporary
point of vantage. Sometimes a
violent upheaval of the water would
throw an object toward the surface,
which would cause one to turn away
with a sliudder. Even the tossing bit
of roof or whirl!nir tlmhop mmhi
no succor to Unit Inanimate, hand
clinched thing now.
Sheriff Turner saw one of these objects
for a brief second as it was borne
past him on the llood, and tho sight
drovo away all self consciousness, lit
was a strong man In other ways than
his profession, and what was transpiring
before his eyes made him hurl himself
far out Into tho mad rush of waters
and wreckage.
As he struggled bark again toward
land with his first prize from tho flood
he was conscious of another man battling
near him on the same errand
Several times during tho afternoon lit
noticed him taking women and chil
dren from rafts and tossing debris,
plunging Into seething whirlpools after
exhausted unfortunates who had been
j torn from their hold and clambering ui
ounKS or upon secure masses or wreckago
to leuvo his burdens In places ol
safety, staggering wtth weariness, bul
strong enough to plunge In again tc
the rescue of some one weaker thai]
himself. Sheriff Turner only noticed
him as their work brought them together.
Ho wns too busy himself foj
watching. But as the afternoon wore
away, disclosing tho man ugaln and
again, always risking his life, always
steady, mechanical, self controlled, he
began to wonder and admire, as one
bravo man will wonder at and admire
another.
And with this admiration there pres
ently began to mingle a curious sense
of recognition. lie only caught mo
mentary glimpses of tho strong, beard
ed face as the man rose from the watci
with some one ho had rescued 01
plunged back again to continue his
work, but these glimpses were enough
He never forgot a face, and this mac
had crowed his memory somewherehe
could not remember how or when 01
L
whether fgr good or bail, but It did not (
matter. It would all coine to him when j
he hud leisure to turn his mind back (
upon the past. v
And It did. That night as ho was ly- j
lug on a eot In a small building on the
very edge of the llood ho sprang and- j
deuly to his feet with a low exelainutlou
of relief. Ilo had lain down exhausted,
but not to sleep. Now ho was
strong, with eyes Hash lug, but steely, (
and with lips close shut and stern, lie ^
was no longer the heroic man whose (
life was a free offering for others, but
u Nemesis of the law, mechanical, lin- j
plucable, Just. It had come to him with j
u rush, as he had believed it would, f
and, y though the strong bearded face ^
had crossed Ills memory half a decade
before and then only as oao incident of
a busy day, the scene returned to him
now as clear cut and vivid as though
he had but Just come from the courtroom.
There were the white haired
Judge upon his bench and the arguing
lawyers and the prisoner, calm and
collected, pleading guilty In a voice as
clear and triumphant as tltough acknowledging
a deed of duty or valor.
Tho beard bad been black and glossy
then and the figure slighter and
stralghter, but the man was tho same,
lie was as sure of It us he was that tho
sun would rise In the oast and set In
the west. And hero he was in the same
building, sleeping oiT the exhaustion of
the day's battling with the llood. It i
was strange.
Sheriff Turner was a man of notion.
Ten years before be hud bad a warrant
for thin man's arrest; now be
would take him olllcially as an escaped
prisoner.
I .caving bis room, he walked three
doors down the ball and then rapped
sharply. A wondering voico called,
"Come in."
A dim light was burning, and as he
crossed the room to the bedside Sheriff
Turner looked at tlio man sharply.
Yes, he had not been mistaken. A
strong face like that was not often
seen, and certainly was not to bo for- i
gotten.
"Yoti are Clifford Wnlte?" be said.
The man started, but did not answer.
"Of Orange county, N. Y.," the sheriff
went on quietly. "I arrest you for the
murder of Pete Roily, eleven years
ago."
For a moment tho man shivered as
though struck by an Icy blast, then his
face grew calm and strong again as
before.
"Yes, I nm Clifford Wnlte of Orange
comity, N. Y?" ho answered, raising
himself to a sitting posture, "and I
executed the miscreant Pete Roll}',
whom a bribed Jury turned looso upon
the community eleven years ago. And
moreover," looking the sheriff calmly in
tho face, "1 consider it was a good gift
to the state. People tell me I have
dono good work?I was told that yesterday?hut
none of It has been of such
real benefit us ridding the country of
such a villain as I'cte Roily. The law
Itself would have done it long before
had It not been for his money. You
know that. Rut of course," breaking
off suddenly, "tliat does not affect my
case."
"No, it does not affect yonr case,"
coldly. "You will pleaso get ready as
quickly and quietly as possible. A
train leaves here at midnight. I do
not wish to make a disturbance."
"I understand," dryly. "Yon fear I

nro right. However, I will go quietly. |
Now I am discovered It could only bo :
a question of a few weeks at most. I
have often had a desire to go back and

not for my wife"?
i "Your wife?" with some surprise.
"Yes. I camo hero without a doilar,

"The levee Is down at Vlteanl Ply I
Fly for your lives! The flood Is on us
again!"
"It Is a pity you recognized me," the
i man said regretfully. "You and I could
. do more work here."
i "Yes, we are needed here," the sheriff
assented. He looked at his companion,
* and a flush of conscious shame mantled ,
us lace. Through an his yc.ua u? o?
ice lie could not remember such irresoutiou
as had boon his during the last
lalf hour. Then ho throw out his hands

"Yes, if I am nllvo."
"Then wo will go and do what wo

The work was more dangerous than

lastoil louder. All through the night
they battled with the currents and nil
tlirough the next day, and when at last
the water began to subside It left Sheriff
Turner bruised and helpless upon
ono of the banks, and beside him was
tho man he had recognized, his strong,
bearded face now upturned to the sky,
white and Inanimate.
Presently came the sound of carriage
wheels, and a woman hurried forward,
clasping and unclasping her hands and
sobbing to herself.
"ilo was so pood to me," she moaned
an sho flung herself on her knees benldo
tho silent form, "so good to me
and to every ono." Then she raised her
head, and a new light came Into her
eyes.
"IIo Is dead," she said softly, "but it
has been good for me to have known
him?good to have been his wife."
"And it has been good for mo to have

Sho turned quickly and then came
forward and held out her hand.
"Yes, ho wan a brave man," she said
simply, "and you were with him. You
are a bravo man too. I am glad to
meet you."
He took her hand almost reluctantly,
and as ho gazed up Into her eyes and
saw the great sorrow there he felt
thankful It was the flood and not he
that was responsible.
TnUtiifj the Ilreelt.M Off hy f.nve.
There Is an act of parliament of I
Georgo II. which clearly shows the attitude
of the English mind toward the
Scottish hlghlanders In the eighteenth
century. In that act parliament solemnly
ordained that "from and after
tho 1st day of August., 1717, no man
or boy within that part of Great Britain
called Scotland shall on any pretenso
whatever wear and put on tho
clothes commonly called highland
clothes?that Is to say, the plaid, phlllbeng
or little kilt, trouse, shoulder belt
or any part whatsoever of what peculiarly
belongs to the highland garb?and
that no tartan or party colored plaid or
stuff shall be used for greatcoats or
upper coats." The act then went on
to declare that If the smallest piece of
tartan plaid could bo detected among
the garments of any highland man or
boy ho should suffer six months' !m
prisonment and for n second offense
seven years' penal servitude. The oath
of n single witness before a Justice of
the peace was enough to effect a conviction.
This attempt to "take the
brooks off a hlgldandmnn" by act of
parliament prow Immediately out of
the terror Inspired by the rebellion of
1745, but underlying and re-enforcing
the panic stricken legislation there was
the popular conviction that the Scottish
mountains were inhabited by
"black kneed" cattle thieves barely
emerged from the cannibal state.?

difference of the binding put upon tho

will observe that tho paper, presswork

tho binding, or cover, rathor, Is a very
cheap paper. A volume somewhat similar
is tho annual report of the Smithsonian
institution in this country, hut
upon this report Is put a good binding

In tills country there are a few
individuals amt some libraries which
havo their books bound In a private

so prreat that It Is far from belnj? usual.
This Is one reason for the fact that the
