X friend Wllmore told me a sur
prising story the other day.
'Doctors and Wllmore la one-
do meet with surprising cases at times
I had not seen my friend for atom
time when be invited me to spend a few
days wltb him at his pretty villa over
looking the Royal gardens at Kew. Ol
the first evening of my visit I sat wits
aim on the balcony of an upper room. I
Clone to us was the great palm housei
Wllmore pointed to It.
"Whenever I look at that house,' hi
said, "I think of the events of a nlgbf
that I spent In It with a man whs
would have committed a murder bad
t not been Instrumental In preventing
him."
I did what any one else would hav
done asked Wllmore to tell bis story.
"Don't mind If I do," he replied, "onlj
I must not be too long about It"
"Well, It Is almost twenty-five yean
since I settled here near this wonderful
garden. I put up my brass plate and
waited for patients. I could do this
wltb little anxiety, for I bad a slight
Income to keep me going.
"There came to Kew about tbe sam
time a colonel, bis wife and bis daugb- j
ter. Apparently tbey did not Intend to 1
reside here permanently they took a '
furnished bouse by the quarter. j
"I met the three of them In the gar-
lens constantly. Like myself, tbey bad
obtained a private pass and used to
enter by that little gate opposite to us.
They were seldom in the gardens when
the general public were admitted.
"To be candid with you, tbe beauty
ot the colonel's daughter was to me fai
more enchanting than tbe txtkuty of tbt
gardens. Yes, it was a case of love al
first sight.
"I am not going to describe ber ex
cept to say that every man before h
reaches my age experiences tbe sort ol
Intoxication that I did then, and to him
the beauty of the loved object Is in
comparable. "The girl, I must tell you, waa on
of the most healthy-looking girls I have
ever seen. We doctors know at a glance
where health has its abode.
I took a dislike to the colonel nat-
orally, perhaps, for be seemed to guard
his daughter with exceeding sternness. '
Be disliked me, too. It was plain. 1
shall never forget how he used to
watch me and frown. Though I was In
love, I was not quite devoid of reason,
and could find many excuses for the
man's apparent antagonism. Doubtless
he wanted a quiet time, as I did. Be-
Ides, the colonel might well have im
agined at times that I followed them.
It bad really reached that stage wltb
me that I felt despondent when I could
aot see them. Of tbe colonel's wife I
need say little she seemed to be an
an usually modest, quiet, even timid,
woman.
"For two weeks I had to be absent
from Kew on business.
"On returning, my first visit waa to
me gardens to the rhododendron walk.
They were a splendid sight, but I saw
nothing of them I was looking for a
face. Just as I reached tbe open I saw
three figures coming from tbe direction
f the grove of bamboo.
"I fancied I betrayed my feelings a
Bttle I could not help It. I was
hocked, almost paralyzed, to aee the
girl, upon whose Image every fiber of
my brain had dwelt, supported by her
mother, pale, sickly, utterly broken
flown In health.
"She looked at ma oh, what a piti
ful look! Her eyes were unnaturally
large and unnaturally bright. Her
face had become thin; its color bad
deepened. She was plainly suffering
from some sort of slow fever, a fevet
that was consuming ber strength little
by little.
"Later In the day I waa at the rail
way station, getting some books from
Smith's library. I saw tbe colonel at
tbe ticket office. He waa Inquiring fot
a ticket to Holyhead. He did not see
me.
"It occurred to my mind all at ones
that I might see" hta wife and daughtei j "Presently the director caught my
by themselves next day. Perhaps 1 inn, stopped me and pointed below,

As the time drew nigh that those whom
I wished to see arrived I waa close to
their customary gate. They came la
somewhat late, and I followed them.
I felt mean very mean In doing so.
"They made their way to the qule
est place In the gardens tbe rhodo
dendron valley. There is a fountain
beside the path to it They stopped al '
It I saw tbe elderly lady take a hand
kerchief, saturate It at the fountain
and apply it to tbe girl's forehead at
she stood beneath the arching shade of
a yew tree, leaning against a branch ol
it Presently they proceeded slowly,
I following. Fortunately there were
no others at that early hour to see me.
The two disappeared round, a turning
into the valley. As tbey did so I saw
something white fall. When I reached
it I found It to be tbe bankerchief.
"Well, as I am telling the story. 1
had better tell It all. I put the handker
chief to my lips and kissed It To my
amazement an odor came from It that 1
had suielled but once before and had
never forgotten. It was the odor of tlu
Thug plant
"It was a fortunate thing that I ha.i
traveled In the East While doing so 1
met a lady, the wife of a Madras artll
lery officer, who told me that she was
on the point of death. She described
her siekness most carefully. None ol
ber doctors bad been able to cure her.
She had done some service to tbe medlr
gtne man of the aUtl Howaaoatcrf
among hit caste for akin hi earing o
means of herbs- Ha begged that ht
might aee tbe lady and at last waa air
lowed. He entered tbe room, looked al
ber. went about In an amaalng man
ner, smelling everything on tbe bed,
the upholstery, tbe rugs, curtains,
blinds, and reached tbe window. Thar
he pounced upon a plant that tbe offl
Jcer's wife had for many years, baring
brought it from her own English homo.
The medicine man plucked from the
pot a small weed that had not been
attended to. With a cry of delight ha
said that tba sahib's wife would nr.
; "I sought oat tbe medicine man, eoav
tinned Wllmore after a pause, "and
after some persuasion be told mo thai
tbe weed be bad found waa of the sort
supposed to be used now by thugs In
stead of their former strangling cord.
Its odor waa poisonous; waa emitted
only at night; must bo inhaled from
tbe plant or from some article satu
rated wltb It; that the thugs covered
tbe plant during tbe night and collected
the poison.
"Now. In tbe handkerchief I had
picked up In tbe gardens I recognized
the odor of the plant unmistakably H
was tbe smell of the Thug plant that
tbe medicine man had made mo ac
quainted with.
"The girl. It seemed, was dying from
lhe effects of tbe poison. Who could
be administering It and wbyT Where
had It been obtained? What waa I to
rlo? Tbese questions absorbed my at
tent Ion.
"I did not follow tbe ladles farther.
To save the girl, I felt that I must not
lose a moment.
"That evening the director of tbe
pardons was to hold an at home. I de
cided to go, to confide in the director.
It came to me like an inspiration that
the Thug plant might be in tbe gar
dens. I found tbe director's house
rrowded It was an old-fashioned place,
partly In the gardens. When tbe host
aw the urgency of my case, be ar
ranged with some special friends to
take his place in entertaining the
quests. Then he listened patiently to
ill I bad to say, making particular in
quiries concerning the Thug plant.
" We have a specimen,' he said. If
rou come with me, we will obtain more
Information about It.'
"In a few moments we bad crosseo,
Ivew Green and entered the herbarium,
having with us the curator, one of -the
guests. We consulted there a ponder
ous book and read all about the Thug
!ant and Its properties. Then we went
:o .1 department containing a multitude
it drawers, labeled and numbered. An
envelope, or capsule was produced. As
:he curator opened It I exclaimed:
" 'That's It! I smell It from herer
" 'Has any one lately inquired about
:li!s plant?" asked the director.
"The curator again consulted tbe
XKks.
" 'There
is
an entry here yes, Col-
ailed, made special In-
nel
luiries about the Thug plant, and waa
aken to see it in the palmhouse.'
"The director asked Its number.
"'Nine thousand and sixty-three,' 1
-as the reply.
" 'We will go to the palm bouse,' said
iie director, 'and have a look at nine
liousand and sixty-three and see If it
las been disturbed. I believe it is a
rood size. It Is some time since I saw
t on Its arrival.'
"He procured a dark lantern and the
ley to the palm bouse. We started for
t. Tbe director told me what be knew
it the colonel and bis family. It bad
ccurred to me many times bow little
Jie girl resembled tbe colonel. She

"We were going through tbe herbs-
-eous garden and Just emerged Into an
tveuue when we saw a figure passing
-apidly into the cypress walk.
" 'Who's that?' said the director in a
ow tone.
" 'The colonel! I answered, grasping
lis arm.
" 'What is he about r he asked.
" 'Let us follow,' I said, 'and careful
y. lie may be after the plant'
"Down through the avenue of cypress
rrees we kept the colonel's shadow in
view. Then we watched him passing
ilong tbe margin of the ornamental
n-ater. Tbe shrill cry of a startled sea
jnll made us clutch one another.
" 'Let us stand here,' said the dlrec

cvltb rapid strides, made for tbe great

tad bla doubts, but the Identity of tbe
igure was now too clear.
" 'It's her he ejaculated.
"The colonel went round to a aide en-;
ranee. We glided round also to keep
lhu in view.
"'Why,' said the director, he'a la
vithout a keyl Some one has bees
ribed. We will go to tbe op posits

"We went. Outside the door we re
noved our boots. Taking them wlti

'In a few moments we reached th
r.ot of a winding Iron stairway, partly
ltdden by creeping plants and the sur
oundlng palms and shrubs. We as-
ended noiselessly.
"For five hours we remainea mere,
itlrring only to ease our positions.
As morning approached we saw the
olouel look at his watch, which be bad

stealthily as he came In. So did we.
"We followed blm to bis house. He
opened the door with a latchkey.
"Before he could close it we were on

admittance.
" 'Colonel,' said tbe director, 'we must
speak to you.'
" 'Why now? he answered.
"He was shaking wltb fear. The sur
prise was too much for him. He stam
mered, lost his voice and presently lost
control of his muscles also. He recog

When tbe wrlterwas a small boy be
disdained to play with paper dolls 01
any other sort of doll babies, for no
boy among his acqualtance would play
with girls' playthings; but tbe nn writ
ten law which forbade boy to amuse
themselves like tbe little girls did not
forbid them to make playthings foi
tbelr sisters and sisters' friends, and
so It happened that tbe Ions' wintei
evenings were ofttlmes spent with scis
sors and paper making furniture fot
tbe girls to start them in housekeeping.
Nowadays all manner of paper furni
ture printed In gaudy colors can be
bought at tbe toy shops, and paper
dolls with dresses like queens can be
had at the same shops for a few cents;
still there is good reason to believe
that the workmen wbo design these ar
ticles have more real pleasure In tbeli
work than tbe children who boy them
There ia more . Joy In making things
than there possibly can be in possess
ing tbe work of others' bands, and thai
is one reason for describing the follow
ing simple furniture, which any Uttls
girl can make for herself. Anothet
good reason la that no child can make
the simplest toys without acquiring a
certain amount of skill, and skill la edu
cation of brain and hand.
Do not let this alarm yon, girls. Edu
cation has a solemn sound, and brings
up to tbe mind tiresome books and fig-
ores, but that Is because yon think that
knowledge of books and tbelr con
tents Is all there is in education. Why,

A Railroad Adveatare.
Not long ago a freight - conductor
rtarted on a night run after drawing
bia montb'a wages from the pay car.
I He bad with him his son, a lad of 12,
and when well under way they begao
to cook supper on tbe caboose stove.
The rear brakeman on watch in tba
':upola, observed that the engine
. teemed to have unusual difficulty In
pulling tbe train. He did not connect
tbls fact with the presence of several
' aoboes on top of the cars, who, nn
j known to blm, were setting brakes and
italling the train.
I Suddenly the front door of tbe ca-
txose flew open and four masked and
j lrmed men ordered the occupants to
I throw up their hands. The conductor
I lumped to shield bis child, seized a
coupling pin and smashed a bead, but
not until four ahota had rang out and
three bullets were In bla body. Fight
ing to tbe last he fell dead In the door
way. Tbe brakeman was ahot in the
arm, and made his escape from the cat
to the ground. Fearing he would give
tbe alarm and cause tbelr capture, tbe
tandita fled.
Then the boy showed that the blood
of heroes is transmitted to succeeding
generations. He pulled the body of bit
father Inside, and secured hla money
ind watch. He noticed that the train
was barely moving, and It occurred to
liim that there was a second section
?lose behind. He knew the brakeman
bad no lantern, even If alive.- Tbe
plucky boy took the red Ugbt and tor
pedoes, dropped off, ran back, expect
ing at every atep to be shot, and flagged
the other train.

Derivation of Boar.
It la curious to note the survlvance In
Scottish legal and agricultural parlance
of tbe closely allied term "Bower," (pro
nounced Boer). Tbe expression Is prop
erly applied to a person who hires, from
tbe proprietor or principal tenant of a
farm, a stock of cows along wltb tbe
right of grazing tbem on certain fields.
Tbe Bower makea In return a money
payment of so much per cow, and trusts
to making hla profit out of the sale of
the dairy products. The precise legal
position of a party who has a "bowing"
lease is somewhat intermediate, being
midway between that of a mere mana
ger and that of a sub-tenant Instances
of thta mixed contract of lease of land
and hiring of labor are now rare, but it
is still to be found In agricultural dis
tricts. Tbe word "bower" is allied to
the Gaelic "bo," a cow, and among Its
numerous cognates In the Aryan lan
guage la Included the Dutch term
"Boer."

"I see by the papers that they are
having trouble with prairie dogs oat In
Nebraska," said a visitor from tb
West to the New Orleans Times-Democrat
man. "It seems that tbey are raul
tlplylng so rapidly a to endanger some
valuable agricultural property on which
their towns are located. As a matter
of fact the prairie dog is a remarkable
little creature, and ba never received
half aa much attention aa . deserves
from our American naturalist. .Home
years ago I was ranch.'ug In Kansas,
about 100 miles southwest of Dodge
City, and took a goal dsal tt Interest
in atudylng the bablts of a colony of
prairie dogs that had established itself
on one corner of tie oroperty. Tho
town covered three or four acres, and
contained perhapa 5,000 Inhabitant.
"It ia commonly believed on tbe fron
tier, and tbe tradition has found its
way Into most natural histories, that
each prairie, dog shares bla subter

sand owl. That la an absurd mistake.
Rattlesnakes and owls frequently take
possession of prairie dog burrows, but
whenever thev do so they evict the or

"I have seen many things to lead me
to believe tbat a prairie dog colony has
a pretty well-defined form of municipal
government, with an acknowledged
leader or king, who bosses tb whole

of sentinels are posted around th mar
gina of th town to give warning of
approaching danger. They are very
faithful, tbese sentries, and it is most
amusing to see them squatting on their
haunches, solemnly surveying the land
scape. Except In Nebraska the prairie
