Modern Advancement.
Just the use of common sense, the
following of personal choice, so far as
that choice Is moral and measured by
the best instead of the worst of one's
self, and the expenditure of a few pen
nies will place at the disposal of any
worker such means of self-education
as were not to be had by the rich of a
generation ago.
Reconcilable.
The Duke de Roquelaure was told
that two ladies of the court had a
quarrel and had cast all kinds of In
vectives at each other. "Did they call
each other homely?" asked the duke.
"No, my lord!" "All right; then I
will see that they become reconciled."

Men Who Succeed.
The men whom I have seen succeed
best In life hae always been cheer
ful and hopeful men, who went about
their business Tvl:h a smile on their
faces, and took the changes and
chances of this life like men, facing
rough and smooth alike as lt came.

Preserved Cherries.
Stone the cherries, preserving every
drop of Juice. Weigh the fruit, allow
ing pound for pound for sugar. Put a
layer of fruit for one of sugar until
all Is used up; pour over the juice
and boil gently until the syrup begins
to thicken. The short-stemmed cher
ries or the Morellas are the best for
preserves. Sweet cherries will not do.

DEFINITION OF WORD CARAT
Has Different Meaning When Appti
to Purenes of Cold and Size
' of Precious Stone.
; Vou have Probably oftou heard of
,h8 word carat applied In Jewelry and
such things, but p rhapa you do not
know that It has an entirely different
meanlug when It Is used for a ring
and for a diamond lu tho ring.
The Jeweler tells you that the ring
or your watch case Is IS carat gold
and you have an idea that it must be
pretty good, as you never have heard
of any that was 20 or 22. What the
Jeweler means Is that eighteen twenty
fourths of the ring is pure gold and
that the rest Is copper.
Pure gold is 24 carats fine and
would be too soft for evory-day use,
so it Is mixed with an alloy to make
it harder. The best alloy known for
this purpose Is copper, as It Interferes
very little with the color of the gold.
If a ring is only 14 carat, that means
that nearly half of It is copper, and "allow duck-rond and a little pavtl

Petting a Horse.
Nearly every boy and girl
loves j
horses and often when they pass along
the street and see a nice looking horss '
hitched close to the curb they want to'
pet him. Now most horses like to be
caressed, even by strangers, providing '
they are petted in the right place.
Here lies the trouble, however, and
the reason why so many horses shy at j
being caressed. People, as a rule, do -
not know w here to pot them. Nearly
everyone will pet the horse upon the!
nose. Now a well behaved horse will;
endure this caress, though he doesn't

The news wss out after breakfast
the news that led to mild hysterics
and scurrying of lady's maids to the
packing of boxes, and the chastened
sorrow of those gentlemen who owed
; the baron money. Through all the
turmoil of the morning moved the lit
i tie detective, the most sympathetic
'of men. It was he who apologized id
i humbly for the locked doors of the
bath-rooms; he who superintended
the lighting of fires, and the making
of toe beds, and the parking of
trunks for the s'ation so closely that
the housemaids were convinced that
he entertained a secret passion for
each one of them; It waa be who an
nounced Henderson's robbery of the
gold plate, following It by Informa
tion as to the culprit's arrest. The
establishment had by this time be
come convinced that Henderson was
the murderer, and breathed relief at
the news.
They had brought the body of Baron

e a e a a e
A week had gone by. and I was sit
ting alone In my Keble Street rooms,
when Peace walked In, with a heavy
traveling coat over his arm.
"Thank Heaven, you have come at
last," I cried. "How Is Maurice Ter
ry?" "Dead poor fellow," he said, with
an honest sorrow in bis voice. "Yet
after all. Mr. Phillips. It waa the best
that could have happened to him."
"And his story the causes the
method?" I demanded.
"It has taken some hard work, but
the bits of the puizle are fitted to
gether at last You wish to hear it, I
suppose?"
"According to your promise," I re
minded him.
"It Is a case of unusual Interest,"
he said. "Though It bears a certain
similarity to the Oottsteln trial at
Kiel tn tt."
He paused to light bis big pipe,
and then sat back In bis chair, with
his eyes Died In abstract contempla
tion. "I was convinced that the murderer
was In the house; and that he bad
entered by the aide door, towards
which you bad seen hlra pass. When
studying the spot I made a discovery
of some Importance. Steen had left
by the same exit. Also he had reason
to fear some person In that wing, for
he had turned from the path and made
a circuit over the grass. I had al
ready noted his broad-toed boots when
examining his body and the foot
prints In the snow were unmistak
able. Who wss Ms enemy In that
wing? It waa a problem to be solved.
"I discovered no stained clothing,
and no signs of Its cleansing or de
struction. From what Information I
could gather, all the house party had
been In the roulette mom save you
yourself; and all the servants had
been at the danre save Henderson
and a man waiting on the guests. But
In the course of my search the foot
man who accompanied me discovered
that a quantity of gold plate was miss
ing. It was reasonable to Imagine
that Henderson 'wi the thief, prob
ably the confidential valet had learnt
of the Baron's projected flight and
of the warrant for his arrest. It was
moment for Judicious robbery the
traces of which would be covered by
the eonruslon or the news Hut was
Henderson also a murderer? I did
not think so. The death of Ms mas
ter was the one thing which would
wreck his scheme). In the early morn
ing I Interviewed the farmer on
whoso car he had driven Into Nor.
bridge. He told me that, acting tin
orders he had received from Hender
son, he met that person at the cor
ner of the stables at eleven o'clock
precisely five minutes before the
murder occurred. That finally elimi
nated the valet from the list.
