Through denert, iwamp and wtWiroMl
The *ar< h has teen pursued
In hope that by the magic fount
Youth's charms might be renewvd,
But men have turned from Uaat vaia quest.
Their for«ver crushed*
For though they aearwhed through all the wwH

An<l men resigned themselves to age
That robbed tbem of their grace,
That sapped their strength and thickly spread
Time'a wrinkle* on tL* face.
In later jears men's thought* have turned
To plans for longer life,
And in elixirs they have sought
New strength for daily sSrife,
And oft 'tis heralded abroad
That scientist or sage
Has finally evohed a plaa
To atay the blight of age.
But men grow old, and women, too,
As la the days ef yore.
For no eliilrs they Lave tried

And as U*ey can't deceive tfcemsalvea,
S-»me seek to hide the trutfe
And dye or bleaeh their half and paint
On eheeks the hose el youth.
The fount cf youth is la eath heart.
And those who keep It pure
Will longer hold the charius of youth
And length of life fecure.
And when at last that fountala fails
And old age on them steals
They'll bear k well because no man

"Polite." grumblvd Lieutenant Wil
loughby to hknsolf as ht entered the
hallway of his friend's apartment ic
response to a summons bawled out
from some part of the Interior. "What!
Breaking up?" the caller asked, peering
through a lighted doorway. He bad
been obliged to announce himself In
some way. for the occupant of the
room sat on the floor with his ba«k to
the entrance and evidenced no Inten
tion of turning to greet hla visitor.
"Scott, your manners are beastly,"
was the Intruder's next remark as he
threaded his way through the maze of
household wreckage that made Ingress
difficult At this the broad shoulders
turned Quickly, and In a moment Seott
was sbaklug hla friend's band in a
manner so hearty that Wlllanghby for
gave the boorisbness of bis first greet
ing.
"Sit down, old man. If yon ebn find a
place. Yes. we are breaking up, as you
call It" and the speaker swept his
arms in a liopeless way over the con
fusion of books, pictures and bachelor
bric-a-brac.
"Where Is 'the boy?" " asked the call
er.
"Cleared out," was Scott's short re
ply as he turned to light his pipe and
rummage about for another for his
friend.
"You haven't quarreled, have you?"
Willoughby Inquired quickly, for when
be left the city a year ago Scott and
"the boy" had Just taken the apart
ment that was now being dismantled,
and the two were apparently settled
for some time.
"How lo;ig have you been In town?"
Scott asked instead of answering Wll
loughby's question.
"Got here at 3 o'clock. I kad to stop
at Washington yesterday to make a re
port ajid came over this morning. I
tell you It's good to get back even for
30 days. The fun of soldiering In Cuba
is all over. There Is nothing but man
ual labor to do there now." Then he
added after a moment's hesitation, "I
wouldn't have left, though, on any
other errand than the one that brought
me here."
"Official, I suppose V
"No," replied Willoughby; "on the
contrary, quite the revise."
Scott mumbled something and look
ed so absurdly unhappy that the young
soldier laughed outright
"What is the trouble, old man? Has
some one bothered you •with a retainer?
Yo» say Harrison has cleared out.
What Is It all about? Don't sit there
looking at me In that lugubrious fash
ion. Out with It"
"The boy and I haven't quarreled,"
Scott answered after a few futile pulls
at his pipe. "I Jawed him a bit for
leaving me with these confounded
rooms on my Bands, but there was no
row. He has changed his plan®— living
over in Jersey someWh»r»—Cranford, I
believe."
"Ob, Cranford," was tb« lieutenant's
observation, seemingly to himself, as
he recalled that the object of bis er
rand lived at the "next stop." "And
that's what makes you so glum. Is It?"
"Not exactly." Scott spoke now with
the tone of A man who has formed a
resolution to perform a hateful duty.
"If you will find a seat somewhere and
light that pipe, I'll tell you about It
Fact is, my boy, you are In this story
Jb a way."
Wlllougbby's expression was & com
posite of mystification and uneasiness,
but he only waved his band as a signal
that his friend should proceed. This
was Just what he did not seem ready
to do.
"For heaven's sake. If yon bave any
thing to say," Willoughby finally re
marked rather peevishly, "say itl"
"Harrison Is going to marry Miss
Mead," Scott said suddenly, being care
ful, however, not to look at his listener.
When he had imparted this informa
tion, he seemed to be able to go ahead
without any further delay. "I'll tell
f'ou how It happened—tb« «i^gement,
1 mean. The boy has known her a
long time; ever since he came to New
York. First girl he ever met, and he
was In love with her from the moment
be was Introduced. Bays he was, any
way. But Harrison, you know, is a
queer sort of chap. Has no Idea of his
worth and nil that. He Isn't half 'push
ful' enough to get along in this world
with men, let alon* women. He
thought Ulns Mead'would never lodk
ot Mm. and I tuppose she took him at
•J.!' Oil. Women are apt to
uj I. ... . .. l-.iow. At any rate, he
made no progress. You know what I
mean. 1 tin telling you the results of
Kiy observations. Harrison never said
anything 4'iout K.
"Well, after Miss Mead met you at
Tampa last year the boy's chances
seemed to dwindle to nothing."
"It seems to ma you are making a
long (itwry u* it," said Willoughby.
"Can't you cut it?"
"Bettor let me go on, I guess. Now
I've told you how the enso stood when
Hits Mead came north last year."
The listener made another move to
protest <H'a I list tlie form the narrative
had taken, but realizing that his tor
mentor knew no other way of telling
what he had made up his mind to say
Willoughby settled back again.
"Three or four months after we had
been reading in the newspapers about
your work in Cuba Herrison was
drawn on a Jury." A groan from Wil-
loughby announced hla daspalr at this
new digression, but Seott weit on
without a pause:
"You will see the connection later. 1
helped him kill time wLS.«i ;.e waited to
be called, aid when be was finally
drawn I was there as regularly as the
Judge. ! have forgotten the title of the
case they put him on. It Mas the heiru
of somebody against a man named
Stevens, who held a lot of property
that was claimed by the heirs under a
will. Stevens claimed under a deed,
uud the suit was brought to set aside
the deed oil the grouud that it was
obtained by fraud.
"When the lawyers on each side went
• hrough the form of asking the jury
men If they knew any of the interested
parties to the suit, I saw Harrison
shake his head In a bored way. To cut
this part short, Miss Mead walked into
the courtroom on the second day of the
trial. Harrison told me afterward that
he knew In an Instant that she was in
terested in tin* case. Befol'r lie left the
box that day he asked to be allowed to
ueu one of the exhibit*, slid, reading
the caption, bv found that his intuition
had been correct. I believe Miss Mead
had been uiade a party to the *uit aft
er it had been Lectin hi a lower court,
and her i..::... did not appear In the
llsi wLiiih tiie lawyers i.ead when they
polled the Jury.
"We talked the matter over that
evening, x:.d cf course I advised the
boy to explain to the court that he bad
discovered s.jice iLc iilal began Hint be
was acquainted with cue of the plain
tiffs In the iter 1 have not been able
to make up :-y u.:nd as to why be In
sisted upon s•• I'i. - on with the trial. 1
explained to kiiu that it was a very
risky thing to do. He always was bull
beaded, though, wheu he made up his
mind.
"Miss Mead did uot come to the
courtroom again until the last day of
the trial. The 1A .vyers strung it tut for
two weeks. It was a very close case.
I would never have decided it either
way. It had been fought by skilled
lawyers from the start, and they had
succeeded in keeping everything off the
record that t.ctild throw light on the
questions at issue. There was some
thing like $20,000 or $30,000 in it for
each of the heirs under the will. These
heirs were uieces of the original bene
ficiary, but that hasn't anything to do
with this story. Miss Mead is not rich,
I believe," the narrator added reflect
ively.
"As I have told you. Miss Mead was
on hand to hear the lawyers sum up
on the last day of the trial. She took
good «ire not to sit where Harrison
could see here, but he passed within
ten Inches of her when the 12 men filed
out to the jury room. It was a long
uneasy wait for me while that jury 'de
liberated.' as the newspapers say. Har
rison was the foreman, and when he
got up to deliver the verdict I could
feel my heart beating 'way up In my
throat' "
"Go on, go on," Willoughby urged as
Seott paused at the recollection of how
his heart acted on this occasion.
"Well, the Jury decided against the
heirs at every point. Stevens had sev
eral deeds, and every one was sustain
ed. The heirs didn't get a shilling.
Miss Mead had left the room by the
time the Jury was discharged."
"By Jo' el" Inanely remarked the
listener.
"Yes, sir. and Harrison told me he
had a hard time persuading two of the
jurymen to decide against the —against
her."
"But I don't quite see"— Wllleughby
began.
"Of course you don't, my brave sol
dier boy. I am coming to that now.
"Harrison, mind you, had not seen
Miss Mead for the two weeks, except
on fhose two days during the trial, and
he did not hurry about calling after the
verdict. I thluk that It was a week
later that we all mot at the theater, a
great piece of luck for the I can't
fell you exactly how they straightened
the matter out. Perhaps It didn't need
any straightening, but way ba«k In the
box toward the end of the show I
heard Miss Mead say, half soberly and
half laughingly, 'There are all sorts of
courage,' and when we got home"—
"I think that's enough, Scott, if you
don't mind. Where can I find the sail
ing of the Havana boat?"
"I was afraid of that," said Seott—

The Inventor of th» Flouring Mill.
About the year 70 B. C. Mlthridates,
king of Cappadocla, one of the most
Ingenious and able princes of the time,
invented the first mill driven by water.
This triumph of his skill and Ingenuity
he caused to be erected In the imme
diate vicinity of the royal palace. In
the course of time th? Cappadocian
bakers became celebrated and were In
great demand throughout all parts of
the world as then known.
These mills were usually placed tip
on boats on the river, being so derated
and contrived as to be easily driven by
the water, and the millers were thus
enabled to move from place to place,
distributing the meal to their custom
ers.

Singapore is a city having dealings
in one way or another with every peo
ple to the north, east »outb and west
of It, Including all the larger islands.
Money readies Slugapore by the boat
load nnd is distributed as liberally. It
is a sort of clearing honse for the east,
and the Malay and th* Javanese jostle
against the American and the Holland
er at the counters of the banking
houses.
For live years I wae what Is called
the transfer agent at Singapore. Pro
vided with a steam lauueLi and a trusty
crew, I received or sriit uut all the hard
money arriving nnd departing ICx
eept in case of four or five lines of
steamers, no money hi received at the
wharf. All the native craft lie at an
chor to discharge or receive. There
are several reasons for this, but the
nin'n one is lo save tlgn# at the banking
houses. The inoae.v will arrive in bags
or boxes and Is in copyrr. brass, sil
ver and K"ld. It has li»»n counted and
tagg >l. but it must L>« over again.
A Malay Cbinauiau or a Borneo trader
would rob his blind grandmother. If
he has tngged a box "11,000." you can
be sure that it is short from S3O to
SIOO. Assisted by two elerks, I board
ed the craft and receuuted, ntfagged
and resealed the treasure and. after
giving a certificate of the correct
amount, loaded It In tba launch and de
posited it on shore.
My work was anything but easy.
Every consignment carried counterfeit
coins to be worked off on me, and ev
ery native was up to all kinds of tricks
to come out ahead. Under the law I
had a great deal of power, but there
were scores of ways In which I could
be delayed and annoyed. Of all the
people I encountered the Chinese were
the worst for trickery. There are plen
ty of honest Chinese traders located at
Singapore, ns honest as the same num
ber of foreigners, but as to the Chinese
afloat I never met a square man. I found
each and every one to be the slickest
kind of liar and swindler. What par
ported to be silver bars would turn out
to be lead thinly coated, gold ingots
would be a deception and a snare, and
they would even go to the pains of
counterfeiting such cheap coins that It
takes 22 of them to make an American
cent It was stipulated in my bond
that I should make good all losses aris
ing through any carelessness of count
ing or handling, and there was never a
moment when my vigilance could be
relaxed.
Almost at the beginning of my career
I had business with a Chinese trader
named Whang Ton. That was the
name he gave, and he pretended to
deal In honest goods, but I have no
doubt he was an out and out pirate.
He came into the port about three
times a year, and he had ten tlm s too
much money aboard for an honest trad
er. He never disputed my count or
tried to work off bad coin on me and
in this was an exception. He won my
gratitude if not my respect in this mat
ter, and after having dealt with him
three or four times I ceased to wttch
him for tricks.
In three years he camo into port at
least 12 times, and he never brought
less than $30,000 wortL of stuff. He
did not always have the same Junk,
but his men were always the same.
His money was of all GAtlons and all
coinage, and it was faDr to believe that
he robbed all alike. As there were no
charges against him 1 did not think
best to say anything ashore, and so
Whang Ton arrived and departed with
out let or hindrance. On what turned
out to be his last visit, so far as I
know, he brought only about SIO,OOO to
be exchanged, and he Informed me that
he had decided to leave the sea and
settle down ashore. He wns more com
municative than I had ever known him
to be before, but there were oply two
or three points I renjttabered after
ward. One was his retirement from
trade, and the other was about a Phil
ippine craft lying astern of him. She
had Brought in $28,000 to be exchang
ed, and I w»s to put the money aboard
of her that evening. He asked many
questions about her, as I remembered
later, and I answered all as far as I
could and gave no weight to the mat
ter.
While I received and shipped mostly
between 0 o'clock a. m. and 5 o'clock p.
m., it happened now and then that a
craft wanted to sail after hours, and
so I stretched a point in her favor and
charged a percentage. This percentage
was to cover my increased risk. In
the case of the Philippine craft the
money was to be on board at C o'clock,
which was an hour after dark at that
season of the year. It was placed In
the launch at 4:30, and 1 steamed out
to a Malay craft and counted and re
sealed the $28,000 she had aboard.
Then 1 spent 15 minutes talking with
the captain of an American whaler and
was ready to run down and get rid of
niy cargo. I had to puss Whang Ton's
Junk en route, and he was on the look
out for me. lie said he had overlooked
a box containing about a thousand dol
lars and was anxious to have it count
ed and credited with the rest. As he
had a basket of wine and a box of ci
gars for me, I could not well refuse,
and I went aboard with my two clerks
to rush the count through. Five armed
men were left In the launch, and I had
no anxiety. We had counted half the
money and old Whang Ton was stand
ing by with a grin on his face when
five or six natives who had sneaked in
to the cabin suddenly flung themselves
upon us, and we were made prisoners.
At the same moment a dozen of the
crew dropped over the rail Into the
launch and made a fierce attack, and
In two minutes she was captured and
her crew passed up. Then followed the
treasure, and as the launch was se
cured alongside the Junk lifted anchor
and set sail for the north. The bold
ness of the trick compelled success.
The old pirate smilingly Informed me
that no one would be hurt and that his
only object was the money, and after
1 had got over swearing and threaten
ing and realized my helplessness we
got fairly well together. It was
110 one's business to question the JunK,
and as she liud a fair wiud she reeled
off the tulles until midnight and then
ran close to the Spanish Island and set
us ashore and towed our launch after
us. Our boat was stripped of arms and
coal, and all we could do was to find
an anchorage for her and wait to be
taken off. It was 3 o'clock next day
before this event happened and six
hours later when we reached Singa
pore. Of course a searching vessel
was sent out, and later on old Whang
Ton was hunted for high and low, but
he somehow got clear off with every
dollar of that money and settled down
somewhere to live on the fat of the
land.

shown'which is not met with In the
great majority of the feathered kind,
declares nil ardent student of the ways
of birds and beasts. He says:
"Several years ago It was my fortune
to capture two young eagles of the
baldliead species. When meat was
thrown Into the room where they were
confined, the male showed plainly how
great wns his desire to pounce upon it,
but a glance from his sister was suffi
cient to keep him rooted to the perch
until she had finished. When beef and
other similar meals were given them,
this easy victory for the fair sex was
the rule, but when a fish was Intro
duced it was only after a fierce fight
that the female succeeded in remind
ing her brother of the respect due her.
"A pair of young great horned owls
which I at one time owned had also dis
played this female domination. I fed
them principally on live rats, and when
they were turned loose in the room the
male retained a stolid and Indifferent
pose upon his perch until the female
had satisfied her hunger, after which
he would dispatch what was left. Many
other are the instances among the ea
gles. hawks and owls In which the fe
male bird is the master of the situa
tion."—Baltimore Sun.

Once, when the late Dr. Tanner had
asked in the house whether It was true
that the Duke of Cambridge had re
signed his position as commander In
chief, a Major Jones of Penzance was
so outraged that he challenged Dfc. Tan

graphic correspondence took place:
"In reply to your despicable question
about the Duke of Cambridge, 1 desig
nate you a coward. Delighted to give
you satisfaction across the water. Pis

To which Dr. Tanner at once replied:
"Wire received. Will meet yon to

When Urlde nnd Groom Are NerTOO,.
Embarrassment appears to be the
natural concomitant of matrimony. At
least this Is true In the Incipient stages.
Invariably, however, there is a striking
contrast between the relative compo
sure of the man and the woman. Both
are nervous, but never both at the
same time. If they come a week be
forehand to make arrangements, she Is
rattled and be is cool, while on the
day of the ceremony she rises to the
occasion and he sinks under It. Thus
