"I do not understand." she exclaimed. "I obtained the coin from a sleeplug oar porter, who said some one guve It "Do you think it dangeroust" to him and told him to have a 'high time with It," he explained in her ear. "He evidently did not care for the high time,' " she said after a moment. He would have given a fortune for one glimpse of her face at that instant. "I think he said it would be neces sary to go to Europe in order to follow the tnjuuetion of the donor. As I am more likely to go to Europe than he, I relieved him of the uecessity and bought his right to a 'high time.' " Ttiere was a long pause, during -which she attempted to withdraw her self from his side, her little fingers struggling timidly beneath the big ones. "Are you a collector of coins?" she asked at length, a perceptible coldness In bcr voice. "No. 1 am considered a dispenser of coins.

"Isn't it strange that this particular olu should have reminded you of Lome?" "You have no right to question me, sir," she said coldly, drawiug away, only to be lurched back again. In spite of herself she laughed audibly. "1 beg your pardon.' he said tan taliingly. "When did he give It you?" "Who?" "The porter, sir." "You have no right to question me," he said.

The Ruling of the Victoria Judge In His Case Seems Wrong. Victoria, B. C, Sept, 2. A new com. plication is likely to arise out of the futile application on behalf of George D. Collins, the San Francisco lawyer, before Judge Martin yestoruay for ha beas corpus. Judge Martin admitted Collins' right, but denied the applica tion on the grounds of propriety, in the meantime consigning Collins to lail for two months, awaiting the hear ing of the application by a plurality of the judges. An eminent judicial authority here declares that not only had Judge Mar tin no right to do so, but he bos ex posed himself to a penalty of five hun dred pounds, which Is imposed by Bngll8h law where any Judge denies the primary rigat involved In a ha beas corpus application involving the sanctity of the person of a subject. Not only that, but It Is claimed also that It releases the man under deten tion. THREE JURORS CURED Of Cholera Morbus with One Small Bottle of Chamberlain's Coilc, Cholera and Dlurrhoea Remedy.

IS UT JAPAN WILL NOT CEABE HOSTILITIES UNTIL TREATY IS SIGNED. tt It Stated That the Treaty Will be Ready for the Signatures by Next Monday. Portsmouth, K. H., Sept. 2. An arm istice has beu signed to take effect after the signing of the treaty. The delay in the cessation ot hos tilities was due to the refusal of Ja pan to consent to an earlier time. Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 2. Japan lias refused to consent to the cessation if hostilities until the treaty of peace is signed. The Russian plonipoten taries, accompanied by their secre taries, called on Baron Komura and Mr. Takihara shortly after noon yes terday and wore in conference with thorn for half an hour. Japan indicated last night through Baron Komura her willingness for an armistice. Mr. Witte supposed that tie would And them ready to sign. Baron Komura explained that while his government was ready to consent to an armistice his instructions were that this should not take effect until alter the Bigning of the treaty. The discussion lasted for half an hour, tho Russian position being that Japan's contention was without precedent aud that if the armistice was not to take effect until the signing of the treaty it was practically unnecessary. The Japanese were insistent and an agreement was accordingly entered into providing for an armistice, which shull take effect the moment the treaty is signed. Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 2. It is now expected that the peace treaty will bo completed by tomorrow night Full summaries, If not the actual text. will then be cabled to Tokio and St. Petersburg for the approval of the re spective governments and by Tuesday, or Wednesday at the latest, M. Witte and Baron Komura expect to receive dual authority to affix their signatures. The subsequent exchange of ratifi cations by the two governments will be simply a formality. Mr Deunison aud Mr De Martens will meet again this afternoon The conditions of the armistice, or rather complete sua sion of hostilities marking the conclu sion of the war, will be arranged, ex cept for minor details by the pleni potentiaries here Technically the formal ceaslou of hostilities to be arranged will be an "armistice"' inasmuch as it is tempor ary pending the final exchange of rati fications It will uot provide fur the ultimate release of the Russian and Japanese prisoners of war An article coveriug the latter subject will be in cluded in the treaty The ceremony ot signing "The Treaty of Portsmouth" will be us as quiet and unostentatious as possi ble. Both sides desire to avoid any spectacular features. Both realize the treaty will not be popular In their re spective countries. Iu Japan especial ly there is cpected to be a great popu lar outcry. "We know," said a member of the Japanese mission, "that we are going home to stones and perhaps dyna mite." No arrangements looking to a joint farewell visit to President Roosevelt bave been made or even suggested. "The Treaty of Portsmouth" Is to be given to the world. There is to be no secret about it, neither government having any reason to withhold it. Its provisions are therefore to he pub lished broadcast textual ly, but not immediately. Mr. Sato said to the Associated Press that it would not be given out until the final ratifications had been exchanged by the sovereigns of tho two countries. The treaty will be engrossed on the treaty paper of the American state department, a peculiarly fine quality of linen parchment paper. Two of the caligraphors of the state department have been sent for to come here and do the engrossing. It Is officially stated that President Roosevelt will not come to Portsmouth to be present at the Bigning of the treaty. Murder and Suicide. Tonopah, Nevada, Sept. 2. R. D.

Seven-eighths oi tho men in this worUt marry a woman because site is beautiful In their eyes because she has the quali ties which Inspire admira tion, respect and love. There 1b. a beauty In health which is more at tractive to men than mere regularity df feature.' The influence- of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men, and upon the civilisation of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have attained the very heights of ambition; because of thenx even thrones have been established and de stroyed. What a disappointment, then, to see the fair young wife's beauty fading away before a year passes over her head 1 A sickly, half-dend-nnd-allve woman, especially when she Is tho mother of a family, is a damper to all joyous ness in the home, and a drag upon her husband. The cost of a wife's con stant illness is a serious drain upon the funds of a household, and too often all the doc toring does no good. If a woman finds her energies are flagging, and that everything tires her, dark, shadows appear under her oyoB, her sleep is disturbed by horrible dreams; If she has, backache, head aches, bearing-down pains, nervous ness, whites, irregularities, or despon dency, she should take means to build her system up at once by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. This great remedy for women has done more in the way of restoring health to the women of America than all other medicines put together. It is the safeguard of woman's health. Following we publish, by request, a letter from a young wife. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of 611 South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Plnkham: " Ever stneo my child was born I have suf fered, as I uopo fow women ever have, with inflammation, female weakneos, bearing-down pains, bucknnhe and wretched headaches.
