1 >♦0 Food For Powder A Tale of Dr. m By P. Y. Jameson's Raid Æ BLACK 6 Cvpuritlht. Mot, by P. Y. Black. Young Wyvil stuck fast to the side of the man whom first he had met at the canteen on the border, the man of di vers names, who had Introduced him self as Lawrence, but had elected to join the raiders under another appella tion. The wallaber, even in that short space, had made friends, and if be were reticent of bis past that was no uncom mon thing in ranks wherein few men stood save as a last resource. Wyvil, himself with a past, and Corporal Doune, now cold upon tbe veldt, had attached themselves to one to whom their old school and varsity traditions were fraternally familiar. And now, without the light hearted outcast’s sup port, Lawrence could not have finished the dismal Journey to Pretoria. Strips from a torn shirt bandaged his face where a Boer bullet had plowed his cheek and cut away a portion of lijs cbiu. He bad lost blood, but when still miles away from their destination he swayed iu his saddle more than the wound seemed to warrant. Wyvil press ed close to him and thrust his arm un der tbe other’s. “Old man,” said be, “Is it bleeding fresh?” Lawrence steadied himself resolute ly aud shook his head, but Wyvil, him self unscratcbed, looked anxious. "Look here,” lie said, “that little Hol lander medicine mau doesn’t seem half bad, you kuow, but he was iu a burry when be patched you up. I thluk we’d better get this Boer fellow to let us drop to the rear and have tbe doc make another examination. Honest, you know, you look pretty near dead.” “Rot, old boy,” Lawrence almost gasped. “Thank you all the same. I'll manage to Pretoria, but It hurts—It hurts.” Farther on be spoke again, with pain. "Wyvil,” he said, “If they don’t shoot you, you're going home?” “And you, too, I hope.” Lawrence laughed, with weak grlm- ness. “I can never go home,” he said. “But wait a minute—it hurts—It hurts! Why didn’t those beggars finish me quick like Douue? Look here. I’ve lost my pocketbook somewhere. There was au address lu It—my wife.” “Old chap.” “I want you to see her—her address Is lost - but 1 can remember it. I want you to see her and tell her that I died honorably and—and—my God, how It hurts!" “Wait until we are—wherever they are taking us. What makes you talk of dying from a cut In the cheek? Hel lo! Look out! Wacht!” Lawrence had turned gray, had sway: ed, had fallen into Wyvll’s arms as the latter leaped dowu to catch him. The guard rode up, and the procession mov ed on, passing them. The doctor gal loped to tbe prisoner and made a quick examination. The bandaged wound was doing well. Tbe trouble was not there. The doctor opened the coat and shirt and found a bleeding wound In the side. “Ye gods!” cried Wyvil. “He never mentioned this! No wonder be looked so ghastly. Why, he must have suf fered like blazes all those miles!” “Verdamter!” the disgusted doctor exclaimed. “He must be In a hurry to die! Ills clothes are soaked In blood.” The num was patched up, placed in a jolting wagon and so gained the prison at Pretoria half dead. He fainted as he was carried In, and when he came to himself he saw that he was in a room crowded with his comrades, some wounded, some utterly miserable, some recklessly Indifferent. He lay in a cor ner, and next day the faithful Wyvil was by his side with water. "Why did you not tell of that bullet wound?” his friend asked reproachful ly. “No wonder you nearly fell from your saddle. It's a wonder you did not die In It.” “It’s a pity,” said Lawrence. Wyvil looked at him vexedly. “Look here, Lawrence," he said. "This is consummate bosh, you know. I have no right to Inquire Into your private af fairs. Most of the men In our ranks have done something at home, and per- “Lady Nore!" he cried in astonishment. haps you have. I have. But—oh, hang it, nothing is bad enough to make a fel low commit suicide, and that's what you seem to be up to!” "It Isn’t suicide; It was an honest bul let.” "Poppy talk! Sophistry! You're In a bad way, but It might have been mend ed. Now, forget all about that thing •t home, whatever It was. Be a man; get well; have another try for the stakes.” "I was Innocent of any wrongdoing at home. It was out here I went to the devil. Put your hand In my breast. Do you feel a rubber packet. Cut the string round my neck. Now open It.” Wyvil opened the thin package and produced the photograph of a woman and a little child. “Your wife?” said he. "She Is lovely. Now, look here, old man. You’re going back to her.” “I can't,” said Lawrence hopeleasly. and his voice was weak. “Let me look. She was pretty. I’d like to see tbe boy once too. You would not thluk it, Wy- ▼ 11. but tuy father and she between them pushed me off the ladder—sent me to the d"vll in the devil's land. Give me some water. 1 feel—I love her yet, Wyvil.” "Dou’t try to talk.” "You will know her. Look on the back ami see if iter name Is not there. Then you will know my real name. But— dou’t let anybody else.” "It is too dark here. Let me take it to the light at the door.” He slipped away, and when he came back a stranger In citizen dress who had bn it silently moving among the prisoners was staudlng over Lawrence, who, raised on his elbow, was looking up at him desperately and defiantly. “You've got rence. “1 think so, and 1 suppose 1 have a claim on you prior to that of Paul Kruger,” the stranger coolly replied. You've changed uames pretty often of late.” "What’s up?” cried Wyvil, coming back. "Excuse me, sir, but my friend Is badly wounded. Even the exertion of talking" — ”1 think lu that ease,” tbe stranger said calmly, “I can get an order to have him removed to the hospital on the hill.” "You know him then? Thank you.” “No,” cried tbe wounded raider, with violence. “You would have me get well, you?” "How? What’s the matter?” Wyvil asked. "The fact Is that I have a warrant here for tlie arrest of your friend, Rob ert Lawrence, for a murder in Johan nesburg two weeks ago.” Wyvil recoiled from tbe baud Law rence held out to him appealingly. "It was in fair fight,” he whispered lu despair. "You will have some difficulty to prove that,” the detective remarked. “I swear it,” said Lawrence, and then us Wyvil held aloof, pale and agitated, the sick man with a sudden wrench tore the bandages from his side, and the wound, rudely opened, bled profuse ly. In an instant Wyvil forgot what be had just beard and leaped to render aid, but tbe detective was before him. "You go and send for the prison doc tor,” said he, and Wyvil ran. Going to the door, he was Just in time to meet a lady and boy who were being ushered in. Tbe lady’s face was fresh In his “I am afraid, my dear lady,” said be, “that you have been misled by some resemblance. He cannot be here." She hud the strength left to look over all tbe prisoners. Imt found no Sir Rob ert. So, at last believing the kindly lie. site was carried away, swooning. "Thank you.” said the prisoner again to the undisturbed detective. “Be kind ouce more. Do uot scud me to the hos pital. Let It—end—here." “I must do my duty,” said tbe de tective. Over the grave of an utterly un kuown exile on the sunbrowned veldt stands a shaft to tlie memory of Kir Robert Nore. In a disgraced grave lie the forgotten remains of he outcast of divers nnmes. THE SOUND OF A PIANO. Iremlnf Defect« That May Be Often Due lu Exterior Can«««. “A piano,” said a dealer, “will some times develop or seem to develop a flaw in some one note, which comes to have a rattle or jingle or unpleasant burr to it, but this jarring sound which seems to come from the piano may in reality come from some source quite outside of it. "Any given note when struck pro duces a certain number of vibrations to tbe second. There may be in the room some object that is in tone sympathy with some particular note, and that will lie set In motion by it when that note Is sounded. "The owner of a tine piano sent to us one day to say that there was some thing wrong about a certain note of. the instrument, so that that note had an unpleasant sound when struck. When 1 heard the note sounded, I knew at once that the disagreeable rough ness or buzz about it was due not to any defect in the piano, but to some thing somewhere about lu the room, and. nsl ing the lady to strike that note occasionally. 1 walked around the room to see If I could locate it. “Passing across the middle of tbe room as that note was struck, the cause of the jarring accompaniment of it was discovered to come from the vi bration of one of the glass globes on the chandelier overhead. "The owner of the piano was almost Incredulous as to this, tbe Bound bad seemed so plainly to come from tlie piano Itself. But when at my request she stood under the chandelier and 1 struck the note she was readily con- vlnced. ”1 made that globe Immovable and then struck the note on the piano, Th» answer was clear and Bweet and true. “So, you see, the sound of tbe piano may for one thing depend much upon its surroundings, and wbat may seem to be a defect in a piano may be in re ality attributable to something quite apart from the piano Itself. "And thus It might easily be that some noble Instrument that had seem ed to be declining or to be developing faults owed its apparent change to a change of environment or to some spe cific outside cause and was in reality as good as ever, as would happily be discovered whenever the instrument wus again brought under favorable conditions.”—Chicago inter Ocean. memory, older, but the same—th* face of tbe photograph. “Lady Nore!” he cried In astonish ment as tbe uame on the picture flash ed to mind.

We have been at Krugersdorp, and he is not among the poor killed ones. He must be a pris oner.

The custom of street car conductors to refuse smooth nickels, presumably in accordance with orders from their managers, baa been given a severe blow by Justice Ryan of tbe circuit court in St. Louis. The St. Louis Transit couipauy was sued for dam ages by John Ruth, a passenger who had been ejected from a car because be insisted that tbe conductor should receive a sraoofli nickel for fare. The complainant Was awarded $2,000. Judge Ryan said: "There is no such thing, as assumed by the defendant, as a nickel of less than full face value. A gold coin may lie worth less fhan its face value be cause of a bra s on or loss of weight, but this is not true of a nickel. 1 think the carrier should be held to the rule that If It ejects a passenger who tenders a good coin in payment It does so at its peril. It Is better that the conductor If In doubt should receive the coin than to establish a rule of law which would permit him to eject a passenger who tenders a good coin and then plead as an excuse that he thought it was bad. In this case his plea does not go so far. He only re jected It because it was 'smooth.' lie never claimed it was bad. His act was 11 mere wanton and capricious rejec tion of the only piece of money the plaintiff had at the time.”—Nashville American. The Smooth Mi-lo-l <1 Rath« For Baker«. The acme of hygienic precaution is reached in the regulations of a noted German baking company. Some of the rules laid down for the workmen are worthy of note and contrast strangely with tlie reports on private bakeries which have been so frequent of late years. Every man must submit to a medical examination, paid for by the company. When lie comes, he takes a ba tit and then dresses for his work in a suit provided by the company, the laundrying of which is done at its ex pense. Every loaf is wrapped in glazed paper, so that neither the retailer nor driver bandies the bread. All the flour is sifted, mixed and kneaded by ma chinery, tlie water used being filtered and deodorized. Tlie kneading is done by a system of plungers. An Archime dean screw constantly throws the dough under them. Practically the bread is not handled from the time it Is flour until it comes out of the ovens, when it is wrapped by dainty women and is ready for tlie shop. Speed of the Wliale. Ordinarily the whale does not travel more than four or five miles an hour, but if it is anxious to avoid the society of whalers it can go at the rate of six teen miles an hour. To a person in a whaleboat being towed by an animal winch has just been harpooned the le- viatlian of the deep seems to be going at a much faster rate, say a mile a minute. When be first starts ofT after being struck, tlie whale must be going at something like that speed, for the harpoon line runs out through the “chocks” so rapidly that it makes them smoke and if they are of wood may set them afire. But after his first spring tlie wliale settles down to about a six teen Imlle an hour gait, which is fast enough for comfort. Vienna’s Last llorae Car. A few evenings ago the Vienna public took a noisy farewell ot the horse trams In the Ringstrasse. Tbe two last cars, which started in opposite direc tions, were hung with blue lamps and decorated with flags and greenery. The oldest drivers were on the seats and the oldest conductors in tlie wagons. Botli cars were crowded to the utmost possible extent, and the police for once closed their eyes to overcrowding. Songs were sung and hurrahs given for tlie horses, while the noise brought the guests out of the cafes, windows were thrown open and handkerchiefs waved. New York still retains the dis tinction of having more horse cur mile age than any other city in the world. An«l They Want to Teach Other«. Here are a few of the answers to questions in examination papers sub mitted by tbe regents of the university which were recently received at tbe capitol at Albany from candidates for teachers' certificates: “What are some of tbe privileges ot a member of congress?” Answer (by a young man): “He Cannot be arrested for breach of promise." "What are some of the results ot tbe civil war?” Answer: "it reorganized the negroes.” "What are tbe duties of a member of assembly?” Answer: "To be in Albany all tbe time and to do as his constitu ents want him.”—New York Times.
