CHAPTER XIV.
Still More Evidence.
Bay City. 111., August 8 (Special).—
Mr. K. F. Henley of this city adds his
evidence to that published almost
dally that a sure cure for Rheuma-
tism is now beforo the American peo
pie and that that euro is Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills. Mr. Henley had Acute
nheumatlsm. He has used Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Ho says of the result:
"After suffering for sixteen years
with Rheumatism and using numer
ous medicines for Rheumatism and
more medicines proscribed by doc
tors. I at last triod Dodd's Kidney
Pills with the result that 1 got more
bentflt from them than all tbe others
put together.
• Dodd's Kidney Pills were the only
thing to give me relief, and 1 recom-
mend them to all suffering from
Acute Rheumatism."
Rheumatism is caused by llric Acid
In the blood. Healthy kidneys tal<«
all the Uric Acid out of the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid-
neys.
"Skipping Teas."
"Skipping teas," to which guests of
both sexes and all ages must bring
their own skipping ropes, are mention-
ed in the columns of the Lady, a Lon-
don fashion paper. Skipping is to be
the fashionable "cure."
VARIOUS WAYS OF WORKING.
All Men Can Not Follow Same Meth-
ods in Their Labor.
We aro not all built alike; what is
Dne man'a pleasure Is another man s
pain. It Is impossible for a ono-horso
power engine to do tho work of a ton-
horse power engine.
I have a cousin who says his best
work Is done when ho has to do a
day's wor'.; in a couple of hours. I
Aink my best work is done when I
have a month in which to do a couple
of hours' work.
Practice is absolutely necessary.
Some never have been obliged to ac-
complish a definite amount of work
each day. If you are forced into a
narrow path you are likely to accom-
plish more definite results than you
are if you Btroll on tho boulevard.
A manager of a Jobbing house says
he can do four times the work now
than when ho commenced dictating.
This is due to practice and to limita-
tions in time. He has Improved in-
voluntarily because his work forced
him ahead.—Earl M. Pratt.

OLD FASHIONED.
The Judgment of the Iron Voice.
Fold by fold, the sun's golden fin-
gers drew apar* the mists that hid the
valley. One by onj, the red Severn
cllfTs were uncovered, and the wooded
Iteeps on which the rival hosts were
encamped. It was the hour of the
royal duel, when the fate-thread of a
nation, beaded with human destinies,
lay between the fingers of two men.
VVliut a scattering of the beads if the
cord should be cut!
Under the elms of tho eaHt bank
tho daughter of Frodc stood and
watched the boats set out; and tho
hands that hung at her aide opened
and shut as though they were gasp-
ing for breath. Turning, she found
herself facing a wall of stalwart bod-
ies, a soa of coarse faces, and dls
covered, with a sudden tightening of
her muscles, that all the eyes which
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
spare from the high-born folk, it is
tho wish of us churls to hear some of
vour news."
A score of heavy voices seconded
tho demand, and the fall gradually
nirved 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
ho lost sight of land and beheld only
lowering billows looming above him.
"Take your hands off me, and it
shall be as you wish."
The big Swede released her wrist
to catch her around the waist and
toss her like a bone upon the platter
his shield, which four of them
ed it. The crown of Canute's shin-
ing locks reached only to the chin of
the mighty Ironside; and the width of
nearly two palms was needed on his
shoulders.
The young king alone appeared se-
renely undisturbed. When he had sa
luted the Ironside with royal courtesy
he met his sword as though he were
beginning a practicing bout with his
footer-brother.
Humped over the earth, with start-
ing eyes and necks stretched to their
uttermost, the Danes were like
many boulders. Nor did Frode a
daughter seem to feel that the hand
the Brass One had raised himself up-
on was crushing her foot.
Canute's weapon, playing with the
lightness of a sunbeam, had evaded
the stroke of the great flail and
touched for an Instant the shoulder
of its wielder. Had he put a pound
more force into the thrust— A groan
crept down the Danish line when tho
bright blade rose, as lightly as it had
fallen, and continued its butterfly
dance. It consoled them a little, how-
ever, that no ch-ier went up from the
English—only a low buzz that was
half of anger, half of astonishment.
Certainly there was no Berserk mad-
ness about the young Danishman;
there was hardly even seriousness.

With the deliberate grace which
characterized his every motion, the
Ironside slid his sword back to its
case, and they saw him take a slow
step forward and slowly extend his
hand. Then they saw Canute spring
to meet him, and their palms touch in
a long grasp.
From the English shore there went
up a Joyful shout of "Peace!" And a
deafening clamor rose in answer from
the Danish bank. But what sentiment
predominated in that it would be diffi-
cult to say. Blended with rejoicing
over their king's safety were cries of
bitter disappointment, the cries of
thirsty men who have seen wino
dashed from their Hps.
In their retreat, the two Northern
jaris and the young monarch's foster-
father faced each other uncertainly
Here is mystery!" Eric of Norway
said at last. "I should be thankful if
you would tell me whether he thought
it unwise to kill the Englishman be-
fore the face of his army; or whether
he is in truth struck with love to-
ward him, as the fools seem to be-
lieve?"
Or whether he had reached the ex
act limit of his strength so that he
was obliged to save himself by some
trick of words?" Ulf Jarl suggested.

Department of Agriculture.
While it Is universally admitted that
<ho administration of the Department
of Agriculture is probably the most
effectlvo in the world, It is Interesting
to note that this service costs the na-
tion far less than that of other coun-
tries. A German paper states that
Russia expends annually for this pur-
pose as much as the United States
and France, Austria and Hungary
about J8.500,000 each, while America
spends but $6,000,000.
Loses Reason, but Not Wealth.
Some years ago a very wealthy
man in England got it into his head
that he had lost all his money. To
pacify him his sons told him that
they had saved the remnants of the
estate and were able to offer him
employment as a clerk. At J7.50 a
week he worked as happy as a prince
for the last twenty years of his life.
When he died his estate amounted
to nearly $15,000,000.
Why Sand Sometimes Sings.
Singing sands are composed of
well-rounded and polished grains of
fairly uniform size, quite free from
dust and small particles. They "sing
when struck or subjected to friction.
Their sounds are varied, according to
the nature of the friction and the
quantity ot sand. A tingling sensa-
tion is often felt by those who walk
over them.

The Danish bank was frantic with

Northern Light!" they cried. "Their

The lines of English were wild with

Perhaps he thinks a short peace
would be useful to the host," the Nor-
wegian said, and laughed. "Such a
truce is as comfortable as a cloak
when the weather is stark, and as easy
to get rid of when the sun comes
out." .
By their faces, the others appeared
to agree with him; but before they
could express themselves a swimmer
rose like a dripping seal out of the
water at their feet.
Peace and division again! he
cried breathlessly. "And it is the

When they came to a spot along the
bank which was open enough to give
them an unobstructed view ot' the
island, they permitted her to scramble
down and seat herself upon the grass,
where they ringed themselves around
her, twenty deep.
-Now for it! While they are wait-
ing for Edmund to land; before there
Is anything to watch," the Scar-Cheek
commanded. "Tell what you told Ca-
nute with regard to tho English king
which made him so reckless as to
agi ee to this bargain.
A shout from the surging mass of
English opposite told when the Iron-
side had landed; and as soon as it
was seen whom he had chosen to ac-
company him as his witness, a buzz
of excitement passed along the Danish
line.
"Edric! by all the gods, Edric Jarl!
"Now for the first time, I believe
that victory will follow Canute's
sword'" Brass Borgar ejaculated.
"Since nothing less than the madness
betokening death could cause Edmund
to continue his trust in the Gainer,
it is seen from this that he is a death-
fated man."
It was little time that the pack gave
her for revery, however; now it was
Edric Jarl of whom they wanted to
h°"Whlle they are talking about the
terms there is nothing to look at,
tell us how the Gainer pulled the net
around King Edmund," the rough
voices demanded. And again she was
obliged to bend her wits to their
task.
But it came at last, the end that
was the beginning. Suddenly a hand
reached around her neck and shut
over her mouth. "Stop! They are
taking their places. Look!"
Ho need not have adjlod that last
word" from that moment frtr many
thousands of eyes there was but one
object in the world—the strip of rock-
ribbed earth and the two figures that
faced each other upon it.
Now that the royal duelists stood
forth together, stripped of cAtwk am'
steel shirt, and wearing no othrr
helm than the golden circlet i f tholr
rank, their Inequality was even mora
'hau ilarmed faucy had paiut- |
wasp! Crush him, Edmund!" they
roared.
In his exultation the Scar-Cheek
rolled himself over and over on tha
grass, and wound up by thrusting his
shaggy head 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
him."
His head fell to the ground with a
thump as the child of Erode leaped to
her feet.
"If you lay finger on me again," she
whispered, "I will caress you with
this!" and for an instant a knife-blade
glittered before the bulging eyes.
Snorri rolled back with alacrity and
an oath; and after a moment Frode's
daughter dropped down again and hid
face in her hands. If the king
should be slain and she be left adrift
in this foul sea! She might as well
have screamed as moaned, for all that
they would have noticed.
About this time Canute's blade ap-
peared to have become in earnest.
Ceasing Its airy defense, it took on
the aggressive. Before the sudden
fury of the onslaught Edmund gave
back a pace. And either because his
anger made him reckless or his great
bulk was against him. he presently
was forced to draw back another step.
Wildest cheers went up from the
Northmen. It seemed as though they
would wade lu a body across the
river.
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
have startled the wolf's shadow oft'
the face of the sun; for Edmund Iron-
side had retreated a third step, and
the Dane's point appeared to lie at the
Englishman's heart. Then the uproar
died somewhere in midair, for In what
seemed the very act of thrusting Ca-
nute hail leaped backward anl low-
ered his blade. So deep was the *U8h
on either side of the river that the
whir of a bird's wing sounded as loud
as a flight of arrows. Bending for-
ward, with strained ear3 and startias
senseless waste was suspended for a
time by the happy idea 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
receptacle which could turn "hun-
dreds of 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 oVU
was ordered for the use of troops sent
on foreign service. But that luxury
seems to have been cut off once more,
although the criminal lunatics still
enjoy their pipes and cigars.
One attempt was made to throw
the contraband, when it was slightly
damaged, on 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. MacmiV
