vod and competent, opened her New Advertisements. | ' She had always been distressingly capable and competent. “l don't believe Beatrice ever had a headache or a nervous spell like you girls have,” Henry Dalton had remark- ©d one day to his two sisters, absorbed by bonbons and new novels and wrap- ped In Indifference and silk negligees. And the tone in which he spoke was not entirely complimentary. In fact, a distinct note of personal injury rang through it, for how can a man assume an attitude of protective chivalry to- ward a girl entirely capable of doing for herself? Beatrice never dropped her fan or her handkerchief, nor came into the drawing room with her glove unbut- toned, nor gave opportunity for the lit- tle services which other women seem- ed to have demanded of Henry Dalton since he had risen to the dignity of Enickerbockers, Yet withal Beatrice Craig was noth- ing if not feminine. She wore the softest and most clinging of fabrics. She played golf, but did not court bare arms and tan. She wore tailored suits, but she softened them with delicious froufrou bows of lace at her throat. She was rufily and fluffy, but she never tore her ruffles and then asked for a pin to make repairs. And If all these things she was be- fore her father's failure and death she was doubly inaccessible and impregna- ble after reverses overtook her. Be- fore that she had simply .fenced with Dalton. Now she donned an armor that scemed well nigh invulnerable. Directly the estate was settled up and the smallness of their inheritance was made known to her Beatrice Craig bad turned breadwinner, investing the pitiful little heritage In a smart shop where layettes of the most superlative fineness and beauty were sold. In the front room, with its exquisite fittings and scented presses, she exhib ited wares selected to suit the matrons among whom she had grown from girl- hood to womanhood. In the rear room she gathered the most expert needle- women her purse could command, and all work was done under her direct su- pervision, Her delighted clientele said that her success was founded on this personal oversight. Her doctor said that nerv- ous prostration would Inevitably result from her persistent close confinement to business. Her mother wept in sheer loneliness at first and later drifted from their tiny apartment back into the old bridge playing, novel reading circle of gray haired friends. And what Henry Dalton said is not for repetition here, for, having no nieces or nephews, how could he offer a de- cent excuse for haunting a layette shop? And only at her shop was Bea- trice to be found--save the cruelly few hours when outraged nature demanded rest and refreshment. And now today, with Henry Dalton thrust Into the dim background of the life when her mother made all things lovely for her well shod feet to walk upon, she was standing before her cheval mirror preparing for a return— Just a brief return glimpse—to the old life. Her mother had wept to some pur- pose. The doctor had said certain sharp things that were more effective than maternal tears, and so Beatrice had accepted the De Haven Smiths’ warm invitation to spend the week end and perhaps a few days more at their lodge in the Catskills. ‘Beatrice surveyed with critical eye her smartly tailored traveling suit and then cast a smiling glance at the suit case where rested a delightful matinee, product of her own workroom. It would be good to lie abed mornings and drink her chocolate in a love of a matinee like that. And she should read a couple of new books and wear the white crepe de chine, newly made over for the trip, to dinner. Old tlnes —yes, she was strong enough now to stand an occasional dip back inte old times. “Beatrice, here's a C, O. D. parcel from Mason's. I picked up a love of a waist for $13.75. Have you any mon- ey?™ Beatrice readjusted her veil to a more fetching angle and murmured as well as the pins in her mouth would permit: “Yes, mother, there's a roll of bills in my bag, the large pocket. Take what you think will last you until I come back.” An hour later Beatrice leaned back luxuriously in the parlor car, her un- seeing eyes fixed on the Hudson pano- rama. It was good—just to do nothing. And when the call for luncheon came she felt hungry—and smiled. The doe- tor had sald a change was all she need- ed, and here she was hungry already for the first time in weeks. The obsequlous darky in charge of her table gave her the perfection of service, with one eye perhaps on the beautiful pigskin band bag that rested against the window. That bag had been one of Dalton’s gifts, and at that very moment the giver himself was sitting at a table behind Beatrice, watehing her every move with hungry eyes. He knew that she was going to the De Haven Smith lodge. Mrs. Smith had boldly held this out as a bait in his igvitation, but somehow he felt that tne psychological moment for making bis presence known had not yet ar- rived. He noted sometimes a new droop In her shoulders. Occasionally, too, she leaned her head on her hand between courses. This was the reac Yon which the doctor had predicted, but Henry Dalton did not know this. He thought oniy tbat she was slowly but surely killing herself by reason of ber pride, and he must stand idly, dumbly by simply because he was so disgustingly rich that she would not listen. And upon these bitter thoughts rush- ed the psychological moment. Miss Beatrice Craig, the Independent gf §& the darky keenly observant, ped her hand Into the Her finger tips touched na ished leather. She tried the et and drew forth some cards. up very straight and dipped In change purse to find a dime, a q and an old German coin, souvenir of Henry Dalton’s student days in Ber lin, Her face turned scariet, then white. A horrible nervous tremor swept over her. Frantically she turned everything out of the bag to find almost anything a businesslike yet distinctly feminine person might own except money. Like a flash she remembered her mother's request. She had kept It ail every penny of the flatly folded bills. “Take what you think will last you until I come back.” Fateful words! Beatrice sent for the dining car con- ductor and explained the situation. He was polite, but behind the mask of courtesy she read amusement, or was it distrust? She became haughty. “My host will meet me at the depot. Until then—well, here are my rings or my watch” — The darkies had gathered at the ta- ble opposite Henry Dalton with heads together, lips parted In ironical smiles. He summoned his walter sharply. “Anything happened to the lady? “Seems like she ain't got the price of her lunch.” Just at the Instant Henry Dalton rose precipitately. Beatrice came down the aisie, her head high, but her face ghastly. It was not the attitude of the conductor nor the grinning darkies, but a sudden faintness, a realization that for once her business ability, her su- preme tact, her resourcefulness, had failed her. She did not read this as physical exhaustion. Her one grim thought was that she had lost her grip on herself, And then came Henry Dalton with a hand outstretched and the love of her shining in his eyes. “Beatrice, [ am the most fortunate of men.” “Oh, Henry,” she sald, with a queer break In her clear voice, “will youn please” — Henry Dalton carried her back to the stateroom In the parlor car. Henry Dalton took firm possession of her luggage and firm control of the situa- tion. Henry Dalton all but lifted her into the De Haven Smith wagonette when they left the train. And Henry Dalton read the telegram, for which he paid, though it was sent C. O. D. to Beatrice Craig. “Forgot to put money back In purse. What shall I do with it?" i HH, i “Buy flowers for yourself—every- | body,” wired Henry Dalton to the first amazed and then understanding mother of Beatrice. “1 am taking care of Beatrice and always shall.” And that was why the smartest lay- ette shop in all New York passed to a new owner and love came into its own. Ants and the Weather. “When you go out on a cloudy morn- ing and find the ants busily engaged in clearing out their pests and dragging the sand and bits of earth to the sur- face, you may be sure that. no matter how cloudy it is, there will be no rain that day, and the probabilities are for several days of good weather,” says a gardener. “On the other hand, if you see the ants about the middle of a spring or summer afternoon hurrying back to the nest and a sentinel out trotting round In every direction looking up stragglers and urging them to go home as soon as they can get there you may figure ou a rain that afternoon or night. When the last of the wander- ers is found the picket hurries in, and the nest is securely sealed from the inside to keep out the water. It is very seldom that ants are taken by surprise by the approach of a shower, but once in awhile when belated or too far away to get home in time they mount a shrub and ensconce them- selves under the thickest, broadest leaf they can find, and there they stay and houd on until the rain is over. When an ants’ nest Is washed out and the ants drown an examination will always show that the disaster was due not so much to lack of preparation as to acel- dent, a stream from an unexpected di- rection flowing down between two bricks or a downpour that caused a fail or the washing away of the bank in which the nest was placed.” Dangerous Ground. “Bless me, Marthy!” exclaimed Un- cle Cyrus, looking up from his maga- zine, says the Youth's Companion. “We're getting a navy that don't need to take a back seat for any of them European nations.” Aunt Martha 2on- tinued placidly measuring out the in- gredients of “mountain” cake and manifestly was not unduly excited over naval affairs. . “Just listen to this.

POLICE ON SLAYER'S TRAIL Thinks Murderer Had a Grievance Against Physician About Death of Woman Patient and Sent Poison to Put An End to Doctor's Practices. Philadelphia, June 30.—The laying bare of a most sensational murder is promised by the authorities in the case of Dr. William H. Wilson, of this city, who died at his home on Friday night after drinking a portion of a bottle of ale which had been sent to him through the mails. An autopsy performed by the coroner's physician and an examination made of the vis- cera taken from the body proves con- clusively that Dr. Wilson died of cyanide of potassium poisoning. The ale came to the physician on Tuesday 8 week ago by express, and in the mail on the same day he received a letter in typewritten form, purporting to have been sent by the Peter Schem Brewing company, informing him that a sample bottle of ale had been shipped to him for trial. Investigation showed, accord- ing to the police, that Schem brews no ale and that the company never sent any such letter as that received by the physician. After receiving the ale Dr. Wilson put it in the refrigerator in his North Seventh street home and went to his country home at Cornwells. just outside the city. He returned on Friday, and on reaching home sat down with his wife and decided to try the pint bottle of ale which he had re ceived. He had scarcely swallowed half a glass when he was seized with convulsions and rolled on the floor. It is declared that he immediately real {zed that he was the victim of poison ing, either by mistake or design, for in his agony he requested his wife, who had not yet touched her portion of the ale, to keep that which was left, as it did not taste right. That was the last thing he was able to say, and he died before the hospital was reached. Unusual as are the poisoning fea: tures ct the case, more extraordinary is the motive which the police assign for what they are certain is a murder. Though Dr. Wilson had been living for more than twelve years in the house where he drank the fatal potion, he never put out a physician's sign and was not known in a general sense as a practitioner. Withal, he had a large clientele, made up mostly of wealthy women, and it is declared by the coro ner and the police that he made an affluent living as a malpractitioner, In his practice, it is the theory of the po lice, Dr. Wilson caused the death of a member of the family of a young man who will be charged with being the poisoner. The death, it is alleged, caused the young man to brood until he could no longer contain himself, when he sought to put an end to the physician's practices by sending him Funeral of ex-President Marked by Extreme Simplicity.

Then the ple burial service of the Pres church was read, before the of the carriages in the cortege driven up to the path leading to the burial place, the benediction had been pronounced and the members of th family, President Roosevelt and others who had gathered about the grave, were leaving the cemetery.

Agreeable to the wishes of Mrs. Cleveland, the services, both at the house and at the cemetery, were of the simplest character. An invocation, scriptural reading, a brief prayer and the reading of a William Wordsworth poem, “Character of the Happy War rior,” constituted the services at the house, while the reading of the burial service at the grave was brief and im- pressive. Although the funeral was of a strict: ly private nature, those in attendance numbered many distinguished citizens including President Roosevelt, Gov: ernor Fort, of New Jersey; Governo: Hughes, of New York; Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia; former members of President Cleveland’s cabinet, officials of the Equitable Life Assurance so ciety, members of the Princeton uni versity faculty and friends and neigh bors. poison, rather than going into court to have his family history exposed to the world. This is the remarkable story which the police haye unearthed in their death of Dr. Wilson.

Baltimore, June 30.—With a sul denness that took all the officers hy surprise, sixty boys at the Maryland School for Boys revolted and escaped from the institution. This was the sec ond outbreak at the school inside of two months. Led by one of the larger boys, who was armed with a crowbar, they stormed the outer gate, demol- ished the lock and, streaming through the portals, scattered in all directions. Two of the guards in attempting to stop the flight of the boys tried to scare them by firing their pistols in the air. The only result was a shower of bricks and stones. Ancient Waterworks. Hezekiah, king of Judah, who reigned in the years 717 to 688 B. C., was a pioneer in constructing a system of waterworks, bringing water into the city of Jerusalem. In the holy book we read: “He made the pool and con- duit and brought the water into the city, stopping the upper part of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.” From the “pools of Solomon,” near Bethlehem, water was conveyed to Jerusalem, a distance of six or seven miles, through a conduit of earthen pipe about ten inches in diameter. The pipe was Incased within two stones, hewn out to fit It, then covered over with rough stones cemented together. Even in those days “boil the water” was a well known injunction. i ident Grover Cleveland | small estate, it is probable that con three days’ investigation of the strange | | Denver on July 7, and the election takes To Pension Mrs. Cleveland.
