UlNCLB TERRY and Albert had j ;
Just seated themselves on the j '
LMqam point thnt evening when Tel- I
SSEI 'J came out with a thlqk gray i
shawl and wrapped It around her fa- j .
ther's shoulders. "It's a Httle cbil|y \q- j
nlgbf.!' she said, "and I think you need i 1
It." Then, turning to Albert, stye '
pddpd, "Wouldn't you like one, too, ! !
Mr. Pago?"
"I would, thank you," he answered, ! !
'if you hare another to spare."
He wouM have answered yes If she i 1
had asks$ him to put on woolen mit- |
tens. She returned to the house and
came hack, this time bearing a white '
sephyr wrap, and handed it to Albert.
"I wftfebM^jou good night now," she
said, "for I presume you will, sit here 1
long after bedtime."
Uncle Terry's eyes followed her back |
to the house, and then he turned to
his guest.
"I B'pose ye'd rather be talkin' to
Telly than me out here in the moonlight,"
he said bluntly, "now that ye've
got a little acquainted. It's the way I:
o* young folks." :
"I've bad a very pleasant visit With 1
yppp daughter this afternoon," fpspopded
Albert. "She was good enough
to go with me to where I got left yes.
teniay. 1 wanted to finish the sketch
I began there." Uncle Terry made no
answer, but sat puffing away at one i
of the cigars Albert had given him.
"Mr. Page," said Uncle Terry at
last, "I've worried a good deal since
last night 'bout what ye told me, an'
I've made up my mind to tell ye the i
hall story an' trust ye with what no
one else knows. To'begin with, it's

the hull story, an' now as ye're a lawyer,
an* I b'lleve an honest one, I ask
re what's best to be done."
"I see now, Mr. Terry, why you distrust
lawyers, and I do not wonder at
It. To the best of iny belief, you have
been swindled in the most outragepus
manner by Krye. He no doubt Is acting
for some law Arm who have Instructed
him to And an heir, If there
Is one, to this estate, and they would
uaturnlly advance all expense intftiey.
Do you know the vessel's name, where
she sailed from and who her master
was?"
"She was a square rigger, an* the
master's name was Peterson. In the
newspaper piece the name was Neils
Peterson, who cum from Stockholm,"
answered Uncle Terry. "I've got it In
Day wallet now, an* on the locket was
the letters E. P., an* on a piece o' paper
that was pinned to the baby's dress
was the name Etelka Peterson."
"And did you send these proofs to
Frye?" asked Albert quickly.
"I sent 'em six' months ago," was the
reply, "an' I've Jest 'bout made up my
mind I was a fool to 'a' done it, an' a
bigger one to keep sendin' money."
"It would have been nil right," answered
Albert after a pause, "if you
had put them into an honest man's
hands. As it is you are lame?in fact,
utterly at the mercy.of Frye, who is
robbing you." Then, after thinking a
moment, he added: "I will gladly do
what I can to help you, Mr. Terry,
and at no cost to you for my own services.
The first step must be to get
possession of these material proofs, the
next to find what firm has employed
Prye. We are helpless until wo get
possession of those proofs."
"Ain't my word an* Lissy's as to
savin' the baby no 'count?" asked
Uncle Terry.
"Very good, so far as It goes, but
really no proof that the child you
saved Is the one wanted for this Inheritance.
In the matter of a legacy
the law is very exacting and demands
absolute proof. No, the only way is
to use duplicity and trick Frye or ask
him to name his price and pay it, and
as the estate may be large his price
will naturally be extortionate."
Albert thought n moment and then
added, "Has Frye ever written you
admitting he has received or has those
proofs in his possession?"
"Not a word," answered Uncle Terry.
"All he writes is: 'Your casp is
progressing favorably. I need so much
more money,' an' I send it an' lay
'wake nights worryln'."
"How long since he has sent for
money?" asked Albert.
"'Bout a month, I reckon," replied
Uncle Terry.
"I confess, Mr. Terry, I am stumped."
After a pause Albert asked Uncle
Terry:
"How docs your?I mean, how does
Telly feel about this matter, Mr. Ter
ry, for I suppose she knows the story?"
"That's suthin' I hate to talk 'bout,
but as ye're likely to see more o' us
an' more o' Telly It's better ye know It
all. When she was 'bout ten we told
her the story an' showed her the
things we'd kep' locked up. She didn't
seem to mind it then, but as she's grow*

Dogs arc undeniably the most useful
animals for umii in liis polar expedl_
tions where sledges must be dragged
over the lee of the polar sea. They
have the advantage also that, unlike
horses and roludeer, they readily eat
their fellows. Their weight is small,
and they can be easily carried on light
boats or on lee Hoes. As the Danish
I government has forbidden the exportation
of dogs from Greenland explorers
usually get their trhituuls from western
Siberia.
Wonderful Fireworks.
A manufacturer of pyrotechnics in
Nagasaki, Japan, makes a rocket from
which, when it explodes in the air,
there llies away a large bird which resembles
a homing bird In Its movements.
It is said that the secret of
this wonderful production has been in

Startling1 Evidence.
UJFresh testimony in great quantity is
constantly coming in, declaring Dr.
King's New Discovery for Corsumntion
Coughs and Colds to be unequaled. A
recent expression from T. J. McFarland
Bentorville, Va. serves as example. He
writes: "I had Bronchitis for three
years and doctored all the time without
being benefited. Then I began taking
Dr. King's New Discovery, and a few
bottles wholly cured." Equally efiective
in curing all lung and throat
trouble, consumption, pneumonia and
grip. Guaranteed by F. C. Duke, Druggist.

50c. and $1.00
Queer Drunken Mnnlnit.
An English sheriff who died some
years since kept a record of the curious
cases of drunkenness that came
under his observation. Several habitual
cases hnd developed odd manias. I
One woman who had been arrested 107
times for drunkenness In twcnty-eiglit
years, had n mania for breaking windows
when she was Intoxicated. An
old soldier, suffering from a wound in
the head, always stole Bibles when he
was tipsy. Another man stole nothing
but spades, while one woman's fancy
ran to shawls and nnotlier's to shoes.
A man named Grubb was imprisoned
seven times for stealing tubs, although
there was nothing in hi* line of life to
make tubs particularly desirable to
him.

pain from indigestion, stomach

Dalntle* For Korean Palate*.
The Korean Is dtnniverous. Birds of

Dog meat is in great request at
certain seasons, pork and beef with the
blood undralned from the carcass,
fowls and game; birds cooked with the
lights, giblets, head and claws intact;
fish, sun dried and highly malodorous
?all are acceptable to him. Cooking is
not always necessary. A species of
a 11 fish Is preferred raw, dipped Into
some piquant snuce. Other dainties
are dried seaweed, shrimps, vermicelli,
pine seeds, lily bulbs and all vegetables
and cereals. Their excesses make the
Koreans martyrs to Indigestion.

"The race is growing nearsighted,
owing to city life and the conditions of
our civilization," said an eye specialist.
"Our visual range Is confined to near
objects for the greater part of the
day," said he, "and this keeps the eyes
turned in. An object twenty feet away
will make the eyeballs parallel.
"Anything less will turn them In,
and people who spend their hours in offices
and crowded fiats necessarily have
a short range of vision, which overworks
and weakens the interior muscles
close to the nasal cavity.
"The exterior muscles not being so
strained are strong and bence cause
the eyes to turn out. Let a person who
is thus affected spend a week or two in
the country and his eyes become normal
again, because he gets greater
range of vision. Snvncr??? nr? wnowii.

Among the Yno Midos, one of the

music. On the lirst day of winter they
have a great feast, at which all the
marriageable girls gather and listen to
the uiuslc made by the bachelors, who
sit under the "desire tree," each playing
his favorite instrument. As the
maiden he loves passes him the youth
plays louder and more feelingly. If the
girl Ignores him and passes on he
knows that she will have none of him;
If she steps up to him and lays a
flower upon the instrument, he jumps
up, grasps her by the hand, taking

Klrht HnKiiKfmenta Made on Snndrny
School Party'* Jonmrj.
Cupid worked overtime on the big
Sunday school picnic which went ta
the Mediterranean and the Holy Land
on the Grosser Kurfurst, which recently
arrived at New York, finishing a
cruise insting seventy-one days, with
523 delegates to the Sunday school convention
in Jerusalem. Eight couples
innounced their engagements to the
friends that met them on the pier when
the steamer docked, says the New York
Tribune. The ship's surgeon. Dr.
Bcharpenach, was one of the lucky
men. He became engaged to a Sunday
school teacher from Pittsburg. Dr.
Scharpenach Is to leave the Grosser
Kurfurst and settle in Pittsburg as
soon as he is married.
There might have been many more
engagements had not one crabbed dominie
gone on deck one night when the
steamer was at SlafTa. It was almost
0:30 o'clock, and, to the good man's
surprise, there were no less than twenty
couples engaged in light and frivolous
conversation, while they held
hands with each other. He complained
about It, and as a result the hurricane
deck was closed thereafter at 7 o'clock.
At the same port the Rev. Mr. Bangs

board. He was the largest man on
board and was got on deck ngaln with
difficulty. He said, when he had got
the water out of his eyes and nose,
thnt he was glad he had fallen overboard
and that his baptism had been
just as pleasing to him as though It
had been In the river Jordan.
A part of each day during the cruise
was devoted to religious exercises, lectures
and study. In the runs between
points of Interest the place to be visited
would be described with Biblical and
historical comments. Eighteen days
were spent In Palestine, Ave In Cairo,
four In Rome, three In Athens, where
an enormous meeting was held on Mars
hill, and three days In Constantinople.
The convention, April 18-20, was held
In a great tent just outside the Damascus
gate and near Mount Calvary. The
sessions were dally attended by nearly
2,000 people of all races and colors.
There were 815 delegates from the
United States and Canada and over
400 from England.
