Successfully Eliminated. It is nov.

Ironside's increasing vehemence be-
trayed him into an instant's rashness,
it was a humming-bird darting into a
flower-cup. Rut it always rose again
as daintily as it had alighted.
The Danish bank was frantic with
excitement. "It is the dance of the
Northern Light!" they cried. "Thor
has sent him his own sword!"
The lines of English were wild with
anger. Crush him, the hornet, the
wasp' Crush him, Edmund!" they
roared.
in his exultation the Scar-Cheek
rolled himself over and over on the
grass, and wound up by thrusting his
shaggy bead into the lap of the red-
cloaked page. "I must do something
for joy," he panted; "and—except for
your hair—you look near enough like
a handsome woman. Do you bend
and kiss me every time Canute pricks

His head fell to the ground with a
thump as the child of Frode leaped to
her feet.
"If you lay finger on me again." she
whispered. I will caress you with

guttered before the bulging eyes.
Snorri rolled back with alacrity and

were not following the boat were
centered curiously upon herself.
Before she could take a step the
nearest warrior thrust out a hand and
caught her by her black locks. "Stop
a little, my Bold One," he said gruff-
ly. "Now that you have a moment to
■pare from the high-born folk it is
the wish of us churls to hear some of

A score of heavy voices seconded
the demand, and the fall gradually
curved into a circle around her They
were good-natured enough—even the
grasp on her hair was roughly playful
but her heart seemed to stop In her
as a swimmer's might the first instant
he lost sight of land and beheld only
towering billows looming above him.
"Take your hands off me, and it

The big Swede released her wrist
to catch her around the waist and

promptly raised between them and

a plan was proposed to throw all pro-

A shout from the surging mass of

Wildest cheers went up from the

Only Eric of Norway stamped with
uneasiness; and the overhanging brows
of Thorkel the Tall were as lowering
hoods above his eyes. "Well has he
hoarded his strength." he muttered.
"Well has he saved It, yet—yet—"
At that moment such a roar went up
from Northern throats as might well

nearly two palms was needed on his
shoulders.
The young king alone appeared se-
renely undisturbed. When he had sa-

he met his sword as though he were
beginning a practicing bout with his
footer brother.
Humped over the earth, with start-

Contraband Tobacco in England.
What becomes of t! e contraband to-
bacco seized by tho customs? The
early practice was to bury it. This
senseless waste was suspended for a
time by tho happy id 1 of distributing
the tobacco among the troopships.
That did not last long, and next
year we hear of the contraband being
smoked in the "Queen's pipe," a huge
n oeptacle which could turn "hun-
dreds < f tons into smoke in a few
hours." Again the misgivings of the
waste troubled the authorities, and
they took to regaling the criminal
lunatics in certain government asy-
lums. Any tobacco that was left over
was ordered for the use of troops sent
on foreign service. But that luxury
seems to have been cut off one
although the criminal lunatics still
enjoy their pipes and cigars.
One attempt was made to throw
the contraband, when it was slightly
damaged. 011 the market, but this
caused an outcry from the tobacco
trade. The whole story is a pleasing
tribute to the intelligence which ad
ministers the public service.—Macmil-

Clever Sparrows.
A gentleman, who, from a casual'
inspection had no other visible means-
of support than the bench he sat on
in Franklin square, was seen feeding
the sparrows the other day with lit-
tle pieces of bread. The fat and
greedy birds came promptly and ate-
voraciously while the feast lasted,and
still hung around when it was over.
Then the host fished in a pocket of his
scant clothing and pulled out a hand-
ful of a powder composed of about
equal parts of tobacco dust and bread
crumbs. When he threw this down
it was immediately surrounded by the
winged gluttons, but they did not at
once eat. They eyed the stuff withj
little sidewlse turns of their heads,,
and when they paw that nothing better
was forthcoming all but two flew
away without as much as a peck at
It. The two that remained, however,,
began finally to fan the powder with
their wings, and in this way effected!
a separation of a few crumbs, which,
they ate.—Philadelphia Record.

Potato to Keep Tobacco Moist.
"It isn't necessary to resort to any
' vice to keep tobacco moist this
time of year," said a tobacconist yes-
t : iv "in fact, there la altogether
to i much humidity in the atmos-
phere. But the raw potato is a good
thing to bear in mind.
"During the winter months, when
nrtlPcla! heat has a tendency to sap
natural moisture from tobacco,
the raw potato comes In mighty
handy. Pla .• It in the bottom of a
jar. put tho tobacco on top of It and
the result will be most satisfying.
The tobacco will then retain all its
best qualities. I have tried many ex-
periments. but have found none to
work so satisfactorily.'

Soldier Writes of Amusing Adven-
tures in Manchuria.
Letters published in Russian news
papers from soldiers in Manchuria
give some vivid pictures of life in:
the Russian ranks. A private named!
Veruinan writes from Port Arthur:
"Two Poles, Catholics from Warsaw,
got white all over when the yellow-
faces began to shoot. Our Jew, Yanko,
sold them amulets made of leather
of a dead man's boot to keep off the
Jap shells. Thank Clod, we orthodox
believers are not afraid of shells. The
Poles asked Yanko why he did not
wear a charm himself, but he put
their money in his pocket and said:
'This is charm enough for me.' There
are hundreds of fellows here trying to*
do us soldiers, but one fellow got left
badly by Yanko. Yanko had a 10-
ruble note which he said the 'Makaki"
(Japanese) forged; he bought it for
a ruble at Harbin and kept it as a
curiosity. A man tried to sell him
a gold ring made of brass for a ruble
and Yanko pretended not to know the
difference and paid him with the Jap
note, getting nine rubles In change.
Next day the man came back and ask-
ed for his money, but Yanko threat-
ened to get him flogged for trying to.
swindle poor ignorant soldiers, and
we all laughed. Afterward Yanko ex-
changed the gold ring with the ma-
jor's cook for a bottle of vodka and
treated us all, which is quite decent,,
considering he is a Jew."

We Are All in the Apprent'ce Clasa*
When a simple change of diet
brings back health and happiness the
Rlory is briefly told. A lady of
-pringfield, 111., says: "After being
afflicted for years with nervousness,
and heart trouble, I received a shock
four years ago that left me in such
a condition that my lifo was despaired
of. I could get no relief from doctors
ror from the numberless heart and
im rve medicines 1 tried because 1
didn't know that tho coffee was dally
putting me back more than tho Drs.
could put me ahead.
"Finally at tht request of a friend I
left off coffee and began the uso of
Postum and against my convictions 1
gradually improved In health until for
the past ti or 8 months41 have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells of heart trouble.
"My troubles all came from the use
ot coffee which I had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when I quit coffee and took up the
use of Postum." Namo siven by
Postum Co.. Battle Creek. Mich.
Many people marvel at the effect9
of leaving off coffee and drinking
Postum but there is nothing marvel-
ous about It—only common sense.
Cyffee Is a destroyer— Postum is a
it builder. That's the reason.
