green boughs that filled the hearth, an J
hastened tO'Withdraw. It seemed to be
too late to make further inquiries that
night; so after listening to two or three
explanations -which the King hasardt J.
but which had all too fanciful an air in
toy eyes, I took my leave ami retlrcJ.
Whether, however, the oene tu:l
raised too violent a commotion In my
mind, or I was already sickening for the
Illness I have mentioned, I found It 1m
(0S8ible to sleep; and spent the greater
part of the night in a fever of fears
and forebodings. The responsibility
which the Kl.ng'e presence cast upon
me lay so heavily upon my -nuking
mind that I could not He; and long be
fore the King's usual hour of rising I
was at his door Inquiring how he did.
No one know, for the pase whose turn
It was to sleep at his feet had not come
out; ibut while I stood questioning, the
King's voice was heard, bidding me en
ter. I treat In, and found him sluing
tip with a haggard face, -which told nn
before the spoke, that he had slept little
better than I had. The shutters were
thrown wide open, and the cold morn
ing light poured Into the room with an
effect rather sombre than bright; the
huge figures on the tapestry looming
huger from a drab and melancholy
background, and the chamber present
ing alt those features of disorder that
In a sleeping room lie hid at might, only
to show themselves in a more vivid
shape In the morning.
The King sent iris page out, and bade
ine sit by htm. "I have had a bad
Bight," be said.wltb a shudder. "Grand
master, I doubt that astrologer was
rig I, nd I shall never eee Uermar.y,
nor carry out fny designs."
Seeing the state In which he was t
could think of nothing 'better than to
rally him, and even laugh at him. "You
think so now, aire," I said. "It Is the
cold hour. By and by, -when you have
broken your fast, you will think differ
ntly."
" ''But, !t may be. less correctly," he
answered; and as he sat looking before
aim with gloomy eyes, he heaved a
deep sigh. Mdr friend." he said,
mournfully. "I want to live, and I am
Volng to die.1
"Of what?" X asked gaily.
"I do not know; but I dreamed last
Bight that a house feU on xne In the Rue
la Ferronerle. and I cannot help
thinking that I shall die in that way."
"Very -weM." I said. it is well to
know that,"
He asked me peevishly what I meant.
"Only," I explained, "that. In that
case, as your majesty need never pass
through that strast, you have it in your
Bands to live forever."
"Perhaps a may not happen there In
that very street," he answered.
fhaps It maviuit happen yet,"
rejoined. Titfd then, more seriously.
-Come, sire," I continued, "why this
sodden weakness? I have known you
Caoe death a hundred times."
."But not after such a dream as I had
last lllffht." he a&M. vfth a crrlmana
yet I Arald see that he was already
comforted. "I thought that I was pass
ing along that street in my coach, and
on a sudden, between St. Innocent's
, church and the notary's there is a no
tary' there?"
"Tea, aire," X said, somewhat sur
prised. "I heard a great roar, and something
track me down, and I found myself
I to the ground, in darkness, with
r fall of dust and an Immense
1 my chest. , I lav for a time In
flng for-breath, and then my
Sin seemed to burst in my head ,and
I awoke."
"I have had audi a dream, aire," I
aid, dryly.
"Last night V
"No," I said, "not last night."
He saw wbat I meant, and laughed;
and being by this time quite himaelf,
left that and passed to discussing the
strange affair of La Trape and the milk.
"Have you found, as yet, -who was
food enough to supply H.T' he asked.
"No, sire," I answered. "But I will
see Lit Trape, and as soon as I have
learned anything, your majesty shall
know it"
I suppose tie Is not far off now," he
suggested. "Bend forblm. Ten to one
be will have made Inquiries, and It will
amooe as."
.1 went to the door and .opening it a
trifle, bade the page who waited send
La Trape. He passed on the message
to crowd of cleepy attendants, and
quickly, but not before I had gone
back to the king's bedside. La Trape
entered.
Having my eyes turned the other
Way, I did not at once remark anything.
But the king did; and his look of as
tonishment, no leas than the exclama-

attention. "Bt Oris, man!" he cried.

volce that seemed to come from his
heart.
"But still, couragef the king cried.
"Courage man! A dose that would kill
a cat may not kill a man. Do you feel
ill?"
"Oh. yes, sire," La Trape moaned.
"W hat do you feel?'"
I have a trembling In all my limbs.
and aih ah. my Clod. I am a dead man!
I have a burning here a pain like hot
coals in my vitals!" And. leaning
against the wall, the unfortunate man
clasped his arms around his body4lnd
bent himself up and down in a parox
ysm of suffering.
"A doctor! A doctor!" Henry cried,
thrusting one leg out of bed. "Send
for Du Laurens!" Then, as I went to
the door to do so. "Can you be alck,
man?" he asked. "Try!"
"No, no; It Is Impossible!"
"But try. try! When did this cat
die?"
"It Is outside." La Trape groaned,
lie could cay no more.
I had opened the door by this time and
found the attendants, whom the man's
cries had alarmed. In a cluster round It.
SlU'nclng them sternly, I bade one go
for M. li u Laurens, the king's physi
cian, while another brought me the cat
that was dtad.
Th? page who had spent the night in
the king's chamber fetched It. I told
'You saw It!" I Exclaimed.
him to bring It In, and ordering the
others to let the doctor pass when he
arrived, I closed the door upon their
curiosity, and went back to the king.
He had left his bed and was standing
near La Trape, endeavoring to hearten
him; now telling him to tickle his throat
with a feather and now watching his
sufferings In silence, with a face of
gloom and despondency that sufficiently
betrayed his reflections. At sight of
the page, .however, carylng the dead
cat. he turned briskly, and we both ex
amined the btast which, already rigid,
with staring eyes and uncovered teeth,
was not a sight to cheer anyone, much
less the stricken man. La Trape, how
ever, seemed to be scarcely aware of
its presence. He had sunk upon a chest
which stoo't agagnst tl1 wall, and.
with his body strangely twisted, was
muttering prayers, while he rocked him
self to and fro unceasingly.
"It's stiff," the king said In a low
voice. "It has been dead some hours.
"Since midnight," I muttered.
"Pardon, sire," the page, who was
holding the cat, said: "I saw it after
midnight. It was alive then
"You saw It!" I exclaimed. "How?
Where?"
"Here, your excellency," the boy an
swered, quailing a little.
"What? In this room?"
"Yes, excellency. I heard a noise
about I think about 2 o'clock and his
majesty breathing very heavily. It was
a noise like a cat spitting. It fright
ened me, and I rose from my pallet and
went around the bed. I was Just In
time to see the cat jump down."
"From the bed?"
"Yes, your excellency. From his
majesty's chest, I think."
"Are you sure that It was this cat?"
"Yes, sire; for as soon as it was on
the floor It began to writhe and roll and
bite Itself, with all Its fur on end, like
a mad cat. Then It flew o the door
and tried to get out, and again began
to pplt furiously. I thought that It
would awaken the king, and I let It
out."
"And then the king did awake?'
"He was Just awaking, your excel
lency."
"Well, sire," I said, smiling, "this ac
counts. I think, for your dream of the
house that Ml, and rue beam that lay
on your chest."
It would have been difficult to say
whether at this the king looked more
foolish or more relieved. Whichever
the sentiment he entertained, however
it was quickly cut short by a lament
able cry that drove the blood from our
cheeks. La Trape was In another par
oxysm. "Oh, the poor man!" Henry
cried.
"I suppose that the cat came In un
seen," I said, "with him last night, and
then stayed In the room?"
"Doubtless."
"And was seized with a paroxysm
here?"
"Such as he has now!" Henry an
swered; .for La Trape had fallen to the
floor. "Such as he has now!" he re
peated, his eyes flaming, his face pale.
"Oh, my friend, this Is too much. Those
who do these things are devils, not men,
Where Is Du Laurens? Where Is the
doctor? He will perish before our
eyas."
"Patience, sire," I said?, "He will
come."
"But In the meantime the man dies."
"No, no," I said, going to La Trape,
and touching his band. "Yet, he Is
very cold." And turning, I sent the
page to hasten the doctor. Then
begged the King to allow me to have
the man conveyed Into another room.
"His sufferings distress you, sire, and
you do him no good," I said.
"No, he shall not go!" he answered,
"Ventre Saint Orlsl man, he la dying
for me! He Is dying In my place. He
shall die here."
6 till 'HI satisfied, I was about to prets
him farther, when La Trape raised his
voice, and feebly asked for me. A page
who had taken the other's place was
supporting his head, and1 tiwo or three
of my gentlemen, who had come in un
bidden, were looking on with scared
faces. 1 went to the poor fellow's side,
and asked wbat I could do for him.
"I am dying!" he muttered, turning
up his eyes. "The doctor! the doctor I'
. I feared that he was passing, but
bade him have courage. "In a moment
he will be here," I said; while the King
In distraction sent messenger on 'me-

man answered. "Excellency

"And your excellency's favorite

three puppies, not two. I sold the oth

Armed at each obstinate gate, stand the

William Watson,
IN GEORGIA ISLANDS.
From the Independent
The singing angel. Israfil,
The) leader of the heavenly choir.
Stood silent on his shining hill.
Relinquished at his feet the lyre.
For, from the rice field's sodden sedge.
Ip from the brake of tangled cane.
Along the sea's low southern edge,
In plaintive minors rose a strain.
Low breathings from the heart of toil,
Of souls that pant In seething suns.
Of forms that crumble to the soli,
unheeded as the stream that runs
Its sluggish current through the sand,
And sinks, the useless Journey done,
Beneath the barren, fruitless land
That thrives no better for the boon.
To change this sighing breath for song,
That were a task for Israfil!
Heaven needs not music all day long.
High throned from pain and mortal ill.
The singing angel took his lyre,
And floated downward wh-re the day
Had paled In night Its searching Are
And the low world in silence lay.
To every dusky, listening heart
There stole the song of Israfil;
He sang of that high world apart,
Where morning stars together stlil
Sing of the land without a night,
Which feels no heat of earthly sun,
Where all stand white in nod's clear light
With tears and toil and parting donel
Now chants of labor all day long
Float up from ditch and field and fen,
The note of hope Is In the song,
As hand to hand the dusky men
Fill their low cnJHng with their might;
The light neart gilds me empty lot.
When songs are Riven in t,he night
The Ills of day are counted not.
The glad, bright angel, Israfil,
The leader of the golden choir.
Sings with them on his beauteous hill,
Triumphant In his hands tha lyre!

WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY.
i.
Its Eleetrie Heating Principle applied
With Great Saeeess In Uospltals-Aa
Eleetrie Motor For Dentists.
From the Pittsburg Times.
A valuable utilization of the electrlo
heating principle has been made in
hospitals and sick rooms. The electro
therm, or electric heating pad, has been
devised to take the place of the various
troublesome methods hitherto in vogue
for applying and maintaining artificial
heat in local applications. . The elec-
trotherm Is a flexible sheet or pad, con
taining wires imbedded in asbestos
When these wires are connected to the
socket of an electric lamp or the termi
nals of a battery sufficient resistance Is
offered to the current to produce a con
stant and uniform degree of heat. There
are many cases demanding a steady
local heat. In which It Is of the first im
portance that the patient should remain
undisturbed. Under such conditions
there Is often serious rlwk in the move
ment of a patient, in changing the hot
water bottles erdluartly used. In addi
tion to this there are always the factors
of the latent heat of the bottle, and the
varying sensitiveness of different per
sons to be considered. Frequently It Is
most dlflloult to preserve exactly the
right degree of heat without burning
the skin of the patient. Here the elec
trotherm Is manifestly of the greatest
tlllty. The heat can ibe kept at the uni
form point for any length of time, and
Its temperature can be regulated with
the. utmost accuracy. A regulating
switch la attached to the wire, and will
give any heat from I'M degrees to 220
degrees Fahrenheit. A higher tempera
ture can bo obtained. If need be, by the
use of additional covers. The electrlo
heating pad Is made In different shapes
as a pad fur ordinary sick room uses
as a foot mat, covered with wicker-
work; and as a species of overcoat for
entirely swathing and hentlng the neck
and the uper part of the body. The
ost of Its operation is extremely low.
nd a given number of pads will do
the work of about twice the number of
bottles. The effect of a poultice or moist
heat can be obtained by Increasing the
pad In one or more thicknesses of wet
flannel. Thorough tests have been
made, and the .medicUl profession real
izes that In this new electrical device
It has secured a greatly Improved
method of applying artificial heat.
A .new machine has been Introduced
for the purpose of safely and conve
niently adapting the power of electricity
to the uses and requirements of dentis
try. The operation of a small electrlo
motor enables the dentist to dispense
with the foot lever commonly used, and
to concentrate all his attention on the
work In hand. In the filling and stop
ping of teeth the electric dental engine
Is specially serviceable, as the various
mallets used can be run from a slow to
the very highest speed. It was noted
as curious that a large number of tha
early orders for this device came from
seaside places. Upon Inquiry It was
found that many city people realize
their need of a dentist only after they
have left their homes. As soon as they
reach the seaside their teeth begin to
throb with pain. The reason given by
the dentists Is that the change of air
and the Invigorating outdoor life which
the summer Idlers lead, strengthen and
stimulate them. Their hearts have
stronger beat, and If there is a weak
spot anywhere about them the pres
sure of the quickened circulation finds
It out. Thus It happens that teeth
which gave no trouble in the city bring
grist to the mill of the seaside dentist,

of Imposture had died out. It has been
revived under the revived folly of aspir

willing to make themselves laughable by

for the ridicule the business brings on tne

MESSAGE OF THE TOWN.
Look up to the stony arches
Where Art and Mammon meet:
There's a sound where t raffle marches.
A call In the city street.
For a voice la ever ringing:
"Gird up thy loins and nee:
1 will harden your heart or break It
If you will abide with me."
Go forth with a noble yearning.
Ulve heed to the griefs of men.
And the years will find you turning
To that mocking voice again.
Which ever recurrent whispers.
Like the chant of the restless sea,
"I will harden your heart or break It
If you will abide with me."
No time for the touch of gladness.
Nor yet for the boon of tears;
We toss In a cloud of madness.
Whirled round by the whirling years,
And an echo lingers always,
From which we are never free:
"I will harden your heart or break It
If you will abide with me."
Aye, carve It In Iron letters
llgh over your widest gate.
Since we all must wear the fetters
Who seek the appointed fate;
And thewlndsshall bring the message
Tnrough all of the days that be:
"I will harden your heart or breuk It
If you will abide with me."

Men and women, maids and swells, "wot i i
fell"
Means this Jargon of the bells, Daisy Bell;
Why should we be kept from sleeping,
Spend our nights In wailing, weeping,
While ten thousand souls are keeping
Up the yell?
Let us join hund In hand and ring the
knells
Of the fellows that Insist on ringing bells.
Le t us banish them forever,
llrada from bodies let us sever;
"Self-defense" slaull be our "kevver."
Shoot the bells. New York Sun.

Use All the Tobacco You Want Till
Your "Craving" Is Gone.
NAKCOTI CURE is the only remedy in the world that acta
directly on the nerves and drives the nicotine from the system
tn from four to ten day. It leaves the patient in better health
than before taking, and is warranted free from any injurious
ingredients.
KAltUOTI-CURE is popular because it allows the patient
to use all the tobacco he wants while under treatment, or until
the "craving" and "hankering' are gone. It ia then no sacri
fice to throw away tobacco forever.
NAItCOTI-CURE is sold at the uniform price of $5.00 a
bottle and one bottle cures.
Money refunded if a cure is not effected when taken accord
ing to directions.
