WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER
Few people realize the importance
■f the words "Trad6 Mark" stamped
«a> the goods they buy. It they did
it would save them many a dollar
■pent for worthless goods and put a
lot of unscrupulous manufacturers
•nt cf the business.
When a manufacturer adopts a
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibility for the merit of his prod-
He takes his business repu-
tton in his hands—out in the lime-
it—"on the square" with the buy-
er af iiis goods, with the dealer, and
fnWith himself. ; ag j
Tho other 'manufacturer—the one
who holds out "inducements," offer-
tog to brand all goods purchased with
h local dealer's brand — sidesteps
ponsibilily, and when these infe-
goods "come ba.:k" it's the local
©r that must pay the penalty,
ii good example of the kind of pro-
tection afforded the public by a trade
ar?t is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's adver-
tising of pure White Lead as the best
paint material.

tions how to test the white lead for
themselves. The testing outfit is be-

Col. Charles Cooey, the president
at the American Federation of Aero
dabs, said the other day of an aero-
nautical pilot:
"He is really too absent-minded to
pilot a balloon. He used, you know,
So be a railroad conductor, but he had
to give up the work; he was too ab-
ssnt-minded for it, too.
"On his train, one day, as he passed
through the cars taking up the tick
9(8, a joking passenger, instead ol
proffering his pasteboard, solemnly
proffered his forefinger.
"Never noticing anything out of the
way, the conductor punched a little
shank out of the side o£ the finger
and passed on."
A Few Funny Facts.
The Georgia legislature has had un-
4<tr consideration a bill which would'
stake null and void a matrimonial,
compact into which a woman has
wheedled a man by means of paint,
ier, perfume, cosmetics, artificial
false hair, corsets, hoops, high-
fc&eled shoes, low-cut waists, lace or
■tlnbow hosiery, or by any other srtl-
f rial means or practices. Why not
limit the woman's "wheedling" priv-
ilges to the method of absent treat-
ment? It is plain the poor men need
at least a ten-mile start.

CHAPTER XIX.—Continued.
"Tut! They don't all marry the sons
of brewers," I retorted. "You assured
me once, while your affair with that
Irish girl was on, that the short upper
lip made Heaven seem possible, but
unnecessary; then the next thing I
knew she had shaken you for the
bloated maltster. Take that for your
impertinence. But perhaps it was
Bates?"
I did not wait for an answer. I was
not in a mood for reflection or nice dis-
tinctions. The man came in just then
with a fresh plate of toast.
"Bates, Mr. Pickering has learned
that I was away from the house on the
night of the attack, £^nd I'm ordered off
for having broken my agreement to
stay here. How do you suppose he
heard of it so promptly?"
"From Morgan, quite possibly. I
have a letter from Mr. Pickering my-
self this morning. Just & moment,
sir." *WIm Wi-
ne placed before me a note bearing
the same date as my own. It was a
sharp rebuke of Bates for his* failure
to report my absence promptly by
wire, and he was ordered to prepare to
leave on the first of February. "Close
your accounts at the shopkeepers' and
I will audit your bills on my arrival."
The tone was peremptory and con-
temptuous. Bates had failed to satisfy
Pickering and was flung off ltk« a
smoked-out cigar.
"How mych had he allowed you for
expenses, Bates?"
He met my gaze imperturably.
"He pays me $50 a month as wages,
sir, and I am allowed $75 for other ex-
penses."
"But you didn't buy English pheas-
ants and champagne on that allow-
ance!"
He was carrying away the coffee
tray and his eyes wandered to the win-
dows.
"Not quite, sir. You see—"
"But I don't see!"
"It had occurred to me that as Mr.
Pickering's allowance wasn't what you
might call generous it was better to
augment it1— Well, sir, I took the lib-
erty of advancing a trifle, as you might
say, to the estate. Your grandfather
would not have had you starve, sir."
He left hurriedly, as though to escape
from the consequences of his words,
and when I came to myself Larry was
gloomily invoking his strange Irish
gods.
"Larry Donovan, I've been tempted
to kill that fellow a dozen times! This
thing is too damned complicated for
me. I wish my lamented grandfather
had left me something easy. To think
of it—that all the time I've been curs-
ing and abusing Bates since I came
here I've been enjoying his bounty,—
and he's been giving me the fat of the
land, just because of his devotion to
my grandfather's memory. Lord, I
can't face the fellow again!"
"As I have said before, you're rather
lacking at times in perspicacity. Your
intelligence is marred by large opaque
spots. Now that there seems to be a
woman tn the case you're less sane
than ever. Ba&, these women! And
now we've got to go to work."
Bah, these women! My own heart
caught the words. I was enraged and
bitter. Np wonder she had been anx-
ious for me to avoid Pi ing In Cin-
cinnati, after daring me to follow her
there! *
'. We called a council of war for that
night that we might view matters In
the light of Pickering's letter. His
assuredness in ordering me to leave
made prompt and decisive action
necessary on my part. I summoned
Stoddard to our conference, feeling
confident of his friendliness.
"Of course " said the broad-shoul-
dered chaplain, "K you could show thkt
your absence was on business of very
grave importance, the courts might
construe in your favor." ,
Larry looked at the ceiling and blew
rings of smoke languidly. I had not
disclosed to either of them the cause
of my absence. On such a matter I
knew I should get precious little sym-
pathy from Larry, and i had, more-
over, a feeling that I could not discuss
Marian Devereux with any one; I even
shrank from mentioning her name,
though it rang like the call of bugles
in my blood.
• She was always before m*s,--the
charmed spirit of youth, linked to
every foot of the earth, every gleam of
the sun upon the ice-bound lake, every
glory of the winter sunset. All &e
good impulses I had ever stifled were
quickened to life by the thought of her.
Amid the day's perplexities I started
sometimes, thinking I heard her voice,
her girlish laughter, or saw her q^ain
coming toward me down the stairs, or
holding against the light her fan with
its golden butterflies. I really knew
so little of her; I could associate her
no home, only with that last fling
of the atitumn upon the lake, the snow-
driven woodland, that twilight hour at
the organ in the chapel, those stolen
momenta at the Armstrongs'. I re-
sented the pressure of the hour's af-
fairs, and chafed at the necessity for
talking of my perplexities with the
good rnends wno were there to help.
I wished to be alone, to yield to the
sweet mood that the thought of her
brought me. The doubt that crept
through my mind as to any possibility
of connivance between her and Picker-
ing was as vague and fleeting as the
shadow of a swallow's wing on a
sunny meadow.
"You don't intend fighting the fact
of your absence, do you?" demanded
Larry, after a long silence.
"Of course not!" I replied fiercely.
"Pickering was right on my heels, and
my absence was known to his men
here. And it would not be square to
my grandfather,—who never harmed a
flea, may his blessed soul rest in
peace!—to lie about it. They might
nail me for perjury besides."
"Then the quicker we get ready for
a siege the better. As I understand
your attitude, you don't intend to
move out until you've found where the
siller's hidden. Being a gallant gen-
tleman and of a forgiving nature, you
want to be sure that the lady who is
now entitled to it gets all there is
coming to her, and as you don't trust
the executor any further than a true
Irishman trusts a British prime minis-
ter's promise, you're going to stand by
to watch the bullion counted. Is that
a correct analysis of your intentions?"
"That's as near one of my ideas as
you're likely to .get."
"Spoken like a man of spirit. And
now we'd better stock up at once, in
case we should be shut off from our
source of supplies. This is a lonely
place here; even the school is a re-
mote neighbor. Better let 9htes raid
the village shops to-morrow. I've
tried being hungry, and I don't care to
repeat the experience."
But there was suostance enough in
our dangers without pursuing shadows.
Certain things were planned that
night. We determined to exercise
every precaution to prevent a surprise
from without, and we resolved upon a
new and systematic sounding of walls
and floors, taking our clue from the
efforts made by Morgan and his ally to
find hiding places by this process.
Pickering would undoubtedly arrive
shortly, and we wished to anticipate
his movements as far as possible.
CHAPTER XX.
The Return of Marian Devereux.
"Sister Theresa has left, sir."
Bates had been into Annandale to
mail some letters, and I was staring
out upon the park from the library
window when he entered. Stoddard,
having kept watch the night before,
was at home asleep, and Larry was
off somewhere in the house treasure-
hunting. I wa3 feeling decidedly dis-
couraged over our failure tp make any
progress with our investigations, and
Bates' news did not interest me.
"Well, what of it?" I demanded,
without turning round.
"Nothing, sir; but Miss Devereux
has come back!"
"The devil *"
I turned and took a step toward the
door.
"I said Miss Devereux," he repeated
in dignified rebuke. "She came up
this morning, and the Sister left at
once for Chicago. Sister Theresa de-
pends particularly upon Miss Dever-
eux,—so I've heard, sir. Miss Devereux
quite takes charge when the Sister
goes away."
"You seem full of information," I re-
I Took the Liberty of Advancing a Trifle to the Estate.
"I can't imagine, I really can't be-
lieve," began the chaplain, "that Miss
Devereux will want to be brought
into this estate matter in any way. In
fact, I have heard Sister Theresa say
as much. I suppose there's no way of
preventing a man from leaving his
property to a young woman who has
no claim on him,—who doesn't want
anything from him."
"Bah, these women! People don't
throw legacies to the birds these days.
Of course she'll take it," observed
Larry.
Then his eyes widened and met mine
in a gaze that reflected the mystifica-
tion and wonder that struck both of
us. Stoddard turned suddenly from
the fire, into which he had been gaz-
ing, exclaiming:
"What's that? There's some one up
stairs!"
Larry was already running toward
the hall, and I heard him springing
up the steps like a cat, while Stoddard
and I followed. '
"Where's Bates?" demanded the
chaplain.
"I'll thank you for the answer," I
replied.
Larry stood at the top of the stair-
case, holding a candle at arm's length
in front of him, staring about.
We could hear quite distinctly some
one walking down a stairway; the
sound>> were unmistakable, just as I
had heard them on two previous occa-
sions, without ever being able to trace
their source.
The noise ceased suddenly, leaving
us with no hint of its whereabouts.
I went directly to the rear of the
house and found Bates putting the
dishes away in the pantry.
"Where have you been?" I de-
manded.
"Here, sir: I have been clearing up
the dinner things, Mr. Glenarm. Is
there anything the matter, sir?"
"Nothing."
I joined the others in the library.
"Why didn't you tell me this feudal
Imitation was haunted?" asked Larry
in a grieved tone. "I'm increasingly
glad I came. How often does it walk?"
"This Is the third time," I admitted.
"It's the wind in the tower probably;
the wind plays queer pranks some-
times."
"You'll have to do better than that.
Glenarm," laughed Stoddard. "It's as
still outside as a country graveyard."
"Only the slaugh aidhe, the people of
the faery hills, the cheerfulest ghosts
in the world," said Larry. "You literal
Saxons can't grasp the idea, of course."
' * **" ' ' ~ I
marked, taking another step towar
my hat and coat.
"And I've learned something else,
sir."
"Well?"
"They all came together, sir."
"Who came; will you tell me that?"
"Why, the people who've been trav-
eling with Mr. Pickering came back
with him, and Miss Devereux came
with them from Cincinnati. That's
what I learned in the village. And Mr.
Pickering is going to stay—"
"Pickering stay!"
"At a cottage across the lake for a
while. The reason is that he's worn
out with his work, and wishes quiet.
The other people went back to New
York in the car."
"He's opened his summer cottage for
January, has he?"
"It does seem the least bit odd, sir,"
replied Bates, moving away.
I had been blue enough without this
news. Marian Devereux had come
back to Annandale with Arthur Picker-
ing; my faith in her snapped like a
reed at this astounding news. Being
now entitled to my grandfather's prop-
erty she was losing no time In return-
ing. She and Pickering had discussed
together at the Armstrongs' my flight
from Annandale, and her return could
have no other meaning than that there
was a strong tie between them, and
that he was now to stay on the ground
until I should be dispossessed and her
rights established. She had dared me
to follow her. and my forfeiture had
been sealed by that stolen interview
at the Armstrongs'. It was a black rec-
ord, and the thought of It angered me
against myself and the world.
"Tell Mr. Donovan that I've gone to
St. Agatha's," I said, and I was soon
striding toward the school.
A Sister admitted me. Somewhere
in the building a music lesson was in
progress, and I consigned the inventor
of pianos to hideous torment as scales
were pursued endlessly up and down
the keys. Two girls passing through
the hall made a pretext of looking for
a book and came in and exclaimed
over their inability to find it with
much suppressed giggling that added
further to my rage.

DANCE IN CHURCH
CURIOUS SURVIVAL OF CUSTOM
OF THE MIDDLE AGES.
Cathedral at Seville, Spain, the Scene
of Remarkable Ceremonial of
Which the Origin Is Lost
in Antiquity.
Not one of the many relics of the
middle ages, with which Spain still
abounds, is more curious than the
dancing before the altar which takes
place every evening during the oc-
taves of the Immaculate Conception
(December 8 to 15) and Corpus Dom-
ini (three days after Ascension day)
in the cathedral of Seville.
.v This church is the largest Gothic
cathedral in the world. It is lit by
no fewer than 83 windows and is a
veritable museum * of art, but the
crowning glory of this venerable pile
is its fifteenth and sixteenth century
stained glass, the designing of which
is upon doubtful apthority ascribed
to Raphael, Titian and Michael An-
gelo. It is within this wonderful edi-
fice, says the Pall Mall Gazette, that
takes place the most quaint ritual of
all Christendom.
The dance is performed by two rows
of choristers or seises, numbering 10
or 12 (formerly it was six), wearing
plumed hats and dressed as pages of
the time of Philip III.; the colors of
the clothes vary; for the oc-
tave of Corpus Domini they are red
and white, while blue and white are
worn during the Immaculate Concep-
tion. To the slow music of violins this
dance (which is a sort of minuet) is
solemnly performed, devoid of all ir-
reverence and levity.
At the December festival the vast
church is in darkness, -save for the
lights of the high altar, and the ef-
fect is most impressive. The chjmts
which the choristers break out into
merely add to the solemnity of the oc-
casion, which is not in the least de-
gree lessened by the sound of the cas-
tanets the seises play. There are two
sets of music, and they are used upon
alternate evenings, the sale of which
is jealously guarded against by the
chapter.
A legend says this singular ritual
originated at the time of the siege of
Seville by some boys going out to Al-
cala, where they danced before the
Moorish army, which they so delight-
ed that they were able to detain them
while the Spaniards manned the walls;
but really the origin of this "dancing"
is quite obscure.
Another interesting legend relates
that a certain archbishop of Seville
about 200 years ago wished to sup-
press this ritual, but the citizens, to-
gether with the canons, gave such op-
position that there was quite a tu-
mult, sad* the matter was referred to
Rome. The pope of that time wish-
ing to see the dance, the choristers
were taken to the Eternal City, where
they performed before the head of
Christendom, who merely laughed, but
to please the archbishop and at the
same time to appease the canons he
said the dancing might continue until
the clothes were worn out; to avoid
this the dresses, which are of striped
silk, have always been partially re-
stored at a time, and now they bid
fair to last forever.
The other legends are connected
with the Jews of Toledo, who formed
the only community of medieval
Europe that was not confined to a
Ghetto, with all its persecuting regu-
lations. One of the reasons given for
this is that at the time of the cruci-
fixion, or a little before, the Sanhe-
drin of Jerusalem sent around to all
the Jewish colonies asking whether
or not the Christ was the long expect-
ed Messiah, and the Jews of this city
were the only ones who returned an
affirmative answer, for which they re-
ceived their freedom.
Another legend says the cause of
this singular circumstance was that
when the Christians endeavored to
confine these Jews to a Ghetto the lat-
ter proved that before the crucifixion
their ancestors were living in Toledo
and so they were guiltless of that
crime.
Enemies of Arizona Chickens.
About four days ago L. T. Clifford,
*ho owns a fine lot of poultry, was out
in the yard engaged in doing the
chores when he heard an unusual
commotion In his henhouse. On open-
ing the door and lighting up the build-
ing he was astonished to see a large
tmllsnake lying in the middle of the
floor with its body coiled around two
chickens, which were yet sllve.
Mr. Clifford struck at the reptile,
landing a blow on its head, when it
Immediately tightened its coils and
crushed the chickens. The snake
measured between 3*6 and 4 feet in
length.
On Saturday evening the owner was
again disturbed by a noise among his
fowls, and this time the cause for
alarm in the henhouse was made by a
large frog who had just finished
making an evening meal of one of the
broilers. Mr. Clifford killed the frog,

Pleasant Morning Chat.
Overheard in Broadway:
"When I scuffle with him, just be-
fore I strangle him, you rush forward,
knock the bottle of poison from my
hand and say: 'Fair play, fair ptey.'
Then grab the two pistols, rush to the
window, left center, and yell: 'Stand
back! I shoot to kill!' That's the sig-
nal for the cabin to be blown up by
dynamite, and I fall on top of Bunco
Bill's body with blood streaming from
my mouth. You tear the papers from
his bosom, and as the roof falls ou you,
shout: 'The girl is mlnel"
HER GOOD FORTUNE
After Years Spent in Vain Effort.
Mrs. Mary E. H. Rouse, of Camr
bridge, N. Y., says: "Five years ago
I had a bad fall and it
affected my kidneys.
Severe pains in my
back and hips became
constant, and £harp
twinges followed any
exertion. The kidney
secretions were badly
disordered. I lost
flesh and grew too
weak to work. Though constantly
using medicine I despaired of being
cured until I b^gan using Doan's
Kidney Pills. Then relief came
quickly, and in a short time I was
completely cured. I am now in ex-
cellent health."
