Deasing oame hurriedly to the Peter West Relieves His Soul by • Confession of Stone's Crime. bedside. He made another examin ation of the sinking man and his face was very grave. He glanced at the nurse and slowly shook his head. 811ght as was his motion. It did not escape the invalid. "Tell me the truth, doctor," West demanded. "Am I really dying." The doctor nodded. "Dying! I MUST see Edgar Clay Phone him." Oublously the doctor hesitated for a Tioment; then nodding- acquies ce! -e, took his hat and hurried to the nen . es t phone at the neighboring cig r counter. . nd thus it was that Russell Irwin an'' Edgar Clay were Interrupted In the.r conference the second time. "It's a call from a dying man. I don't know him but perhaps I'd bet ter go." announced Clay, turning from the phone. "Yes, go." said Irwin, "we can do ; So good here!" And while Clay wu on his way to i th - humble cottage of the stricken man, Dr. Desslng had sent yet an other phone message. This time It was to Horace Stone. "I thought I'd tell you, Horace, that your old clerk Is dying. His end Is very near. It Is only a question of minutes." "Too bad. too bad," answered Stone In a voice that seemed to have some thing of relief in it. "Too bad. Poor j fellow. Keep on doing everything you can for him. doctor, and send me the bills as you have been doing." "All right," answered the doctor, and then as an afterthought he added. ' "and. by the way, West begged me to send for Edgar Clay. He said he had j to see him before he died." "Some foolish fancy, no doubt," quickly interrupted Stone. "He'll have forgotten it by now. Pay no attention to it. Xever mind sending for Clay." ! "But I already have," answered the | doctor, and he was surprised at the suddenness with which the conversa tion terminated. Stone had hung up on him. Clay and death made a merry race Ot It for the bedside of Stone's old j clerk. And Clay won. He did not need more than one glance at the stricken man, did not need the warn ing gesture of the nurse, to make him realize that his victory had been by the narrowest of marfrins. Feebly raising one trembling hand, West haltingly grasped Clay's ex tended palm and Indicated to the doctor and nurse that he wished to be alone with his guest. 'Take that pad and pen from off ! the table, and write as I dictate," the dying man commanded. And this Is the statement he made with the last ounce of breath In his emaciated body: "I relieve my soul by the con fession that my employer, Horace Stone, etole SIOO,OOO in securities from Edgar Clay, Sr., to whose aon I am now dictating this con fession. Stone obtained the sig nature of transfer whtle Clay was intoxicated, one hour before said Clay was killed by train. I have been bribed by Stone to keep this quiet." Summoning all of his waning •trength. West took the pen from the poung man's hand, and with a firm ness that was remarkable In one BO near death, penned his name, In a rood, clear signature at the bottom of the confession. And then as If his wearied ■plrtt had been released by the lifting of a rreat burden, Peter West, smilingly lay hack and peacefully passed away. Slowly, wlji that awe all feel in the praaenoe of the great leveler of hu man rank. Clay, the precious confes ilon safely stowed away in his inside soat pocket, tiptoed from the room, ind pausing only long enough to see Ihe last few Immediate attentions ren- Sered by the nurse, left the saddened :ottage and hurried away to find his partner. He did not know that Stone, peer ing from the shadow of a neighboring building, had seen his departure, and had gazed long and earnestly after him as he strode away. Anxiety and hate were depicted on the attorney's face as he shrugged his shoulders in Impotent rage and muttered to him *elf: "I most And out what he knows." CHAPTER IV. And now.

For a number of years, according; to J. D.

The work- | ing up of the trade for the Russian j product of this type of oil was largely 1 a matter of chance, rather than neces- . slty. for oils of essentially the same j I character can be produced from Am- i 1 erican petroleum, and in fact have I been produced on a small scale for | several years.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH to the absorption of American refiners in efforts to Increase the output of more easily refined products, such as gasoline and naphtha, for which there is an ever-increasing market. As soon as it became apparent that ' Imports of liquor petrolatum were no 'longer possible American refiners, -with j characteristic promptness, set about to supply the established market, and be l fore the close of 1914 a score of re ' finers were experimenting in the new i field and at least 10 sources of domes tic white oil for medicinal use had been developed, the product being re tailed under 50 or more different trade names. Statistics collected by the Geological Survey from importers and refiners show that in the year 1914 the total quantity of medicinal oil marketed in the United States was not less than 488.950 gallons and that at least 87,400 gallons, or 20 per cent of this quantity was obtained from petroleum of do mestic origin. This showing is most gratifying when the fact is considered that it is the result for the most part ;of only a few months' effort. What I the future holds out to American re finers in this field depends largely on their own efforts. In order to determine the relative efflciencv of Russian and American medicinal oils, the committee on therapeutic research of the council on pharmacy and medicine of the Amer ican Medical Association submitted samples of the different oils to several clinicians for testing. The results, as summarized by Dr. W. A. Bastedo, are of interest: "The results of this clinical investl i gatlon appear to warrant the conclu ■ sion uhat so far as therapeutic results are concerned the differences in the | action of the three varieties of liquid : petrolatum, namely, light Russian I liquid petrolatum, heavy Russian j liquid petrolatum, and American liquid I petrolatum, are too slight to he of 1m- I portance. Hence the choice between i the lighter and the heavier oils and j between the Russian and the American lis an open one, to be determined not by therapeutic difference, but by palatability, dependent on the degree to which the refinement of the oil is carried out. The United States Phar macopeia, the revision of which Is now nearing completion, no doubt will fur nish standards which will insure a suitable product. From the findings of the foregoing report It would appear that a satisfactory stanaard might per mit the use of either Russian or Am erican oil, if suitably refined so as to be as nearly as possible devoid of odor and taste." Aside from the question of thera peutic value, which has been decided by the disinterested testimony of Dr. Bastedo and his associates, the objec tions made to the medicinal oils of American origin are chiefly of an esthetic nature, being based on the presence of florescence, or bloom; or on a faint petroleum taste or odor; or on the presence of sulphur. The fact, however, that these objections do not hold at all for certain brands of American oil and that they hold in different degrees for other brands shows that no insurmountable diffi culties prevent the popularizing of the American product, but that care less manipulation, due "perhaps to overanxiety for an early place in the market, has blinded certain refiners to the high standard set by the foreign product. A popular fancy which will warrant a price of $5 a gallon for what little guaranteed Russian oil is available In the market as against J $1.50 to $2 a gallon for an equally! efficient American product may not bo 1 wholly dispelled, but It can not be long maintained with the Intelligent public. With care and attention to refining details there appears no reason why the million dollar market ror medici nal oils in this country, turned over to American refiners as the result ot no effort on their part, should ever be permitted to return to foreign control. British Army Abandons Puttee For Heavy Boots London, July 31 (correspondence of the Associated Press). —The British army has decided to discontinue the use of the puttee, which has been the distinguishing leg wear of the British soldier for many years, and to sub- AUGUST S, 1915. stitute the Russian army boot. This decision was arrived at as a result of last winter's campaign in Flanders, wben It was found that the cloth puttee was little or no protection against the mud and water and led to the men suffering, not from frost-bitten, but from benumbed feet and legs. Large orders have already been given for boots, which will be supplied to the troops before winter sets in, as the war office anticipates another winter In mud and water soaked trenches. The puttee, which is to be dis carded, was adopted because «of Its protection against snake bites in In dia and became general throughout the British army, and, in fact, has since the commencement of the pres ent war been taken up by some of the continental armies. It, however, has pioved useless under conditions pre vailing in Europe, not only because of the lack of protection that it affords but because of the time it takes to put it on properly. A NATURAL CONCLUSION Pat was out of work, and anxiously asked all his friends If they knew where he could get a job. "Well," replied one, "I've Just left the blacksmith down the road. But there's no good going there. No one can stay with him; he's too quick tempered. But Pat thought he would give him a trial. So he sallied along the road, and was engaged. Immediately afterwards the black smith drew a red-hot horseshoe out of the fire, and laid it on the anvil. Without waiting for orders, Pat raised his hammer and gave the Iron a hefty blow. The blacksmith was mad with rage. First the red-hot iron, then his ham mer went sailing through the win dow. But before he could say anything Pat had seized the anvil and thrown it through the window, too. "W-w-what did you do that for?" gasped the blacksmtth, In angry sur prise. "Sure, now," replied Pat, with an engaging smile, "didn't I think ye was going to work outside."
