That's had exclaimed Fyne startling hia wife by this explosive unsealing of hla lips less than half an hour after tlie departure of the De cousin with De Barrel's daughter It was still in the dining room very near the time for him to go forth affronting the elements in order to put in another day's work in the country's service All he could aay at tlie moment in elucidation of thia breakdown from his usual placid solemnity was: Tlie fellow imagines that De Barral has got some plunder put away must have been thinking It all out (I hope not to tlie detriment of liia country's service during the day because in the evening he developed to Mrs Fyne the psychology of tlie situation Fellows sf that sort would naturally judge others by what they knew of their own Innermost selves He was no doubt very proud of hla though why one should be proud of not being a thief he (Fyne) imagine At the same time he had a sneaking sort of pride in being a relative of a financier like De Barrel He was simply unable to believe that such a man had not been clever enough to find means to secrete somehow a considerable sum of money This being the theory arrived at by Fyne his comment on it ve that a good many bankrupts had been known to have taken such a precaution It vn-possible In De Barrel's case Fvnet went so far in his display of cynical pessimism as to say that it was extremely He explained at length to Mrs Fyne that De Barral certainly did not take any one Into his confidence But the beutriv fellow had made up his low mind thit it ww so He was selfish and pitiless in his stupidity but he had clearlv conceived the notion of making a claim on De Barrel when De Barrel came out of prison on the strength of raring1 (as he would have himself exoreesed It) hia daughter He nunsed his hopes sjen as they were in secret and It Is to be eupporad kept them even from hW v-ife could eee It very Well Or per'iap his wife aw is the wav of wives did not believe him giving -him credit for n-e Imagination than sense But that belief accounted for his mysterious air he Interfered in favor of the girl In the petty debased life of these people Ignoring all amenities of manner all dign tv of thought and generosity of feeling this was the only protector she had! It was as though she had been fated to be always surrounded by treachery and stifling every softer impulse every instinctive aspiration of her soul to trust and to love would have been enough to drive a fine nature tnto the madness of universal into any wort of madness And I remember that look which' at a riven moment she had turned upon Mrs Fyne the moment when the helplessness of her position was once more eonVonr-Ing her the look of horrible merriment There is no saying how far a sense of humor will stand by one To the foot of the gallows tree perhaos Indeed racial justice is a comical thing In Its te-ri'-Ve natveness But from my recollection of Flora De Barral I feared that she lalh't much sense of humor If she had cried at the desertion of the absurd Fyne dog that animal was certainly free from duplicity' He was frank and simple a ridiculous The exasperation of the girl at his unhypocritical behavior had been funny but it was not humorous (To Be Continued) SCOTCH SPUDS IN CHICAGO It Appears That )1 Are Short the Native Article Potatoes from Scotland will be served on Chicago tables within a week A South Water street house has nine carload of Scotch potatoes on the way here and when they reach the consumer they will be about rants a peck They cost the company a bushel delivered In Chicago Only once or twice in history have potatoes been Imported for Chicago It is not unusual for New York dealers to Import them but when a railroad freight rate has to be added to the ship freight rate the price is prohibitory under normal conditions Now the contdltions are far from normal however and there is a prospect that other produce merchants will import potatoes New potatoes from the South are coming In very small quantities nd the Northern State are supplying far less than they usuallv do at this time of tha Chicago Nona Fall Partlenlara are Prlated Below for the Beaeftt of Aay Headers Who May lie Afflicted aa Mra Dea- also Was ASK THE LADIES general tradition of mankind teaches us that glances occupy a considerable place in the self-expression of wolnen Mra Fyne was trying honestly to give me some idea much perliap to satisfy her own uneasiness as my curiosity She was frowning in the effort as you see sometimes a child do (what is delightful In women Is that they so often resemble Intelligent 1 mean the ermnirst the sourest the most battered of them at times) she was frowning I say and I was beginning to smile faintly at her when all at once she came out with something totally unexpected 'It was horrily she said suppose she must have been satis-fled by my sudden gravity because she looked at me in a friendly manner Yrs Mrs I said smiling no longer 'I see The merriment of despair It Is horrible even on the she interrupted and I really believe her change of attitude back to folded arms was meant to conceal a shudder it wasn't on the stage and it was not with her lips that she laughed- 'Yee It must have been horrible 1 assented then she had to go away I suppose You didn't say anything said Mrs Fyne rang the bell and told one of the maids to go and bring the hat and coat out of the cab And then we waited don't think that there ever was such waiting unices possibly In a Jail at same moment or other on the morning of an execution The servant appeared with the hat and coat and then still ns on the morning of an execution when the condemned I believe is offered a breakfast Mrs anxious that the white-faced girl should swallow something warm (If she could) before leaving her house for an Interminable drive through raw cold air in a damp Mrs Fyne broke the awful silence 'You really mist try to eat something' In her best resolute manner She turned to the 'odious with the same determination you sill sit down and have a cup of coffee' 'The worthy of labor sat down He might have been awed by Mrs Fyne' peremptory for she did not think of conciliating him that time He sat down provisionally like a man who finds himself much against hie will In doubtfnl company He accepted ungraciously the cup banded to him by Mrs Fvne took an unwilling sip or two and put down as if there were some moral contamination in the coffee of these 'swells Between whiles he directed mysteriously unexprewslre glances at little Fyne who as far a I know had no breakfast that morning at all Neither had the girl She never moved her hands from her lap till her appointed guardian got up leaving the cup half full if you don't mean to take cd-vantaee of this lady klnJ offer I may Just a well take you home at once I want to begin my I do a few more dumb leaden footed minutes wh! the girl was putting her bat and jacket on the Fynes without moving without saying anything saw these two leave the room "She never looked back once raid Mrs Fyne Just followed him out I've never had such a crushing impression of the miserable dependence of of women This was an extreme -one But a young any could nave gone to break sion on the road or something of that or yes!

were not Intentional earth-eaters The arrow poison used by the Indians of Colombia has been found by Caspar and A Loewy to be the secretion of the skin of a small frog The arrows are eight-inch palm spines which are shot from a blowgun about 14 feet long and the hunter carries the frog along in a hollow bamboo In order that he may have the poison in a fresh condition A simple prick of the skin yields the poison drop when needed When one of the arrows enters the body of even a large animal such as a jaguar monkey or paralysis quickly follows and the victim ie then easily killed The use of the poison It Is said does not affect the flesh of the animals killed which Is quite harmless when eaten The two French naturalists have made experiments with the edible frog Rana rflculenta show ing that Its skin exudes a similar poison when Irritated and that an extract prepared from the skin gives in guinea pigs the same symptoms as inoculation with the arrow poison The new type of

Individuals who have had such epidemte affections as diphtheria typhoid fever scarlet fever and cerebro-spnal meningitis and have retained the living psrmi months or years after the attack or they have been persons spreading such Infections as measles whtle in the incubation stage The unconscious promoters of epidemics now found may carry and spread harmful such as those causing cholera or

he can say several hundred have reduced their weight without a single failure Then no ono could doubt tits claim that the method Is practically Infallible something that can be said of nothing ele of
