Club of Deaf Women
A club has boon formed by deaf
women of Berlin. A hundred mem-
bers meet weekly in Wilheim Strasse,
where they drink tea as they con-
verse In tho sign language or with
the aid of ear trumpets.
To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new thins*
of everyday use in the market and
who Is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that a trial of
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because it is guar-
anteed by the manufacturers to be su-
perior to any other brand, but because
each lOo package contains 16 om.,
while all the other kinds contain but
]2 ozs. It Is safe to say that the lady
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.
Study of Millionaires
An English writer, In discussing
"the psychology of the American mil-
lionaire," has this to say: "He is
apt to combine the ethics of an alliga-
tor with the creed of a member of the
Y. M. C. A. And It Is this combina-
tion that makes him far more formid-
able than our own skeptical and cyn-
ical cosmopolitan tnllllonarles, who
feel that there can be no righteous-
ness in a providence under which
they prosper. The American mil-
lionaire gets his strength from a
simple and Inherited pastoral mor-
ality, and ho uses that strength to
overcome the oorrupt Inhabitants of
cities with their own weapons. Cyn-
ics, dlabollsts, haters of their own
kind, are always weakened by the
fact that their faith, however furious-
ly they may hold it, Is negative and
baaed on doubt. Rockefeller's faith
is positive and preserves him from all
doubt and scruples. Now that he is
rich beyond all precedent, his wealth
no doubt seems a proof that his way
of life Is agreeable to a beneficent
Providence."
Versatile Young Men
In the situation wanted column of
a London newspaper this advertise-
ment appeared recently: "I do not
know everything, anywhere, any time.
I know America from pork yards to
the hub of culture, Australia from
Kauri to Bottletree; the continent
taught me French, German and other
things; familiar with all stocks, deeds
and lawyers' genial ways, can draw
and plan to scale, reviewers say I
can write, 35 and tough.
GET POWER.
The Supply Comes From Food.
If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can.
That is only possible by use of skil-
fully selected food that exactly (Its

poor Are is not a good steam pro-
ducer.
"From not knowing how to soloct
the right food to fit my needs, I suf-
fered grievously for a long time from
stomach troubles," writes a lady from
a little town In Missouri.
"It Beemed as if I would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything
that I could eat would stay on my
stomach. Every attempt gave me
heart-burn and filled my stomach with
gas. I got thinner and thinner until
I literally became a living skeleton
and in time was compelled to keep
to my bed.
"A few months ago I was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and It had
such good effect from the very begin-
ning that I have kept up Its use ever
since. I was surprised at the ease
with which I digested It. It proved
to be Just what I needed. All my un-
pleasant symptoms, the heart-burn, the
inflated feeling which gave me so
much pain disappeared. My weight

strength came back, and I am now
able to do my housework and enjoy

"Prince Louis to see Princess Joan!
Ivan answered the low-voiced chal-
lenge from within. The door opened
slightly and then more widely. Ivan
pushed his friend forward and they
entered, Louis dragging one foot after
the other towards the shaded couch
b> which knelt the Princess Margaret.
Thora of Bornholm, pallid and blue-
iipped, stood beside her, swaying a lit-
tle but still holding, half unconscious-
ly, a silver basin, into which Margaret
dipped a fine linen cloth, before touch-
ing with it the foam-flecked Hps of
the sufferer. Prince Ivan remained a
little back, near to where the court
physicians were conferring together In
stage whispers. As he passed, a tall,
grey-skirted, long-bearded man, girt
about the middle with a silver chain,
detachd himself from the official group
and approached Prince Ivan. After
an instinctive cringing movement of
homage and salutation, he bent to the
young man's ear and whispered half
a dozen words. Prince Ivan nodded
vpry slightly and the man stole away
as he had come. No one In the room
had noticed the Incident.
Meanwhile Louis of Courtland, al-
most as pale as Thora herself, his lips
blue, his teeth chattering, his fingers
clammy with perspiration, stood oy
the bedside clutching the crucifix.
Presently a hand was laid upon his
arm. He started violently at the
touch.
It Is true—a bad case," said Ivan
in his ear. "Let us get away; I must
speak with you at once. The physi-
cians have given their verdict. They
can do nothing!"
With a gasp of relief Prince Louis
faced about, and as he turned he tot-
tered.
'Steady, friend Louis!" said Prince
Ivan In his ear and passed his arm
about his waist.
He began to fear lest he should have
frightened his dupe too thoroughly.
See how he loves her!" murmured
the doctors of healing, still conferring
with their heads together. "Who
would have bplleved it possible?'-
"Nay, he is only much afraid," said
Alexis the Deacon, the Muscovite doc-
tor; "and smflll blame to him, now
that the Black Death has come to
Courtland. In half an hour we shall
hear the death-rattle!"
'Then there is no need of us stay-
ing," said more than one learned doc-
tor, and they moved softly towards
the door. But Ivan had possessed
himself of the key, and even as the
hand of the first was on the latchet
bar the bolt was Bhot In his face.
And the eyes of Alexis the Deacon
glowed between his narrow red lids
like sparks in tinder as he glanced at
the whitening 'faces of the learned
men of Courtland.
Without the door Ivan fixed Prince
Louis with his will,
"Now," he said, speaking In low,
trenchant tones, "If this be Indeed the
Black Death (and It is like It), there
is no safety for us here. We must get
without walls. In an hour there will
be such a panic In the city as has not
been for centuries. I offer you a way
of escape. My Cossacks stand horsed
and ready without. Let us go with
them. But the Princess Margaret
must come also!"
"But—but—but—" Louis still ob-
jected, "the Princess Joan—she may
die. That will reflect upon my honor
if we all desert her. My sister will
continue to attend her. They are
friends. I will go with you . . . Mar-
garet can remain and nurse her!"
A light like a spear point glittered
momentarily under the dark brows of
the Muscovite.
"Listen, Prince Louis," he said.
"Your honor Is your honor. Joan of
the Sword Hand and her Black
Plagues are your own afTalr. She is
your wife, not mine. I have helped
you to get her back—no more. But
the Princess Margaret is my business.
I have bought her with a price. And
look you, sir, I will not ride back to
Russia empty-handed, that every petty
boyar and starveliHg serf may scoff at
me saying, 'He helped the Prince of
Courtland to win his wife, but he could
not bring back one himself.' The
whole city, the whole country from
here to Moscow know for what cause
I have so long sojourned In your capi-
tal. Now, Prince Louis, will you have
me go as your friend or as your ene-
m ?"
"Ivan—Ivan, you are my friend. Do
not speak to me so! Who else Is my
friend If you desert me?"
"Then give me your sister!"
The prince cast up his hand with
a little gesture of despair.
"Ah," he sighed, "you do not know
Margaret! She Is not In my gift, or
you should have had her long ago!
Oh, these troubles, these troubles!
When will they be at an end?"
"They are at an end now," said
Prince Ivan consolingly. "Call your
sister out of the chamber on a pre-
text. In ten minutes we shall be at
the cathedral gates. In another ten
she and I can be wedded according to
your Roman custom. In half an hour
we shall all be outside the walls. If
you fear the infection you need not
come near her. I will do all that Is
necessary. And what more natural?
Wo will be gone before the panic
breaks—you to one of your hill castles
—If you do not wish to come with us
to Moscow."
"And the Princess Joan—f" faltered
the coward.
"She Is In good hands," said the
prlno« truthfully for ones. "I pledge
CHAPTER XXI.—Continued.
At this point an officer came swift
ly across the parterre and stood with
uncovered head by the steps of the
terrace, waiting for permission to as-
cend. The Prince summoned him
with a movement of his hand.
"What news?" he said; "have the
ladles yet left the Summer Palace?'
"No, my lord," answered the officer
earnestly; "but Johannes Rode of the
Princess Margaret's household has
come with a message that the plague
has broken out there, and that the
Lady Princess Is the first stricken."
"Which Princess?" demanded Ivan,
with an Instant Incision of tone.
"The Lady Joan, Princess of Court-
land, your Highness," replied the man,
without, however, looking at the
Prince of Muscovy.
"The Lady Joan," cried the Prince
Louis, "she is ill? She has brought
the Black Death with her? She is
stricken with the plague? How for-
tunate that, so far, I—"
He clapped his hand upon his
brow and shut his eyes as If giving
thanks.
"I see It all now!" he cried. "This
Is the reason the Kernsberg traitors
were so willing to give her up. It is
all a plot against my life. I will not go
near. Let the court physicians be
Bent! Cause the doors of the Sum-
mer Palace to be sealed! Set double
guards! Permit none to pass either
way, save the doctors only! And let
them change their clothes and perfume
themselves with the smoke of sulphur
before they come out!"
His voice mounted higher and high-
er as he spoke, and Ivan of Muscovy
watched him without speaking, as
with hands thrust out and distended
nostrils he screamed and gesticulated.
Prince Ivan had never Been a thor-
ough coward before, and the breed in-
terested him. But when he had let the
Prince run on far enough to shame
him before his officer, he rose quietly
and stood In front of him.
"Louis," he said in a low voice,
"listen to me—this Is but a report.
It Is like enough to be false; It Is cer-
tain to be exaggerated. Let us go at
once and find out."
Prince Louis threw out his hands
with a gesture of despair.
"Not I—not I!" he cried. "You may
go if you like, If you do not value your
life. But I—I do not feel well even
now. Yesterday I kissed her hand.
Ah, would to God that I had not! That
is It. I wondered what ailed me this
morning. Go—stop the court physi-
cians! Do not let them go to the Sum-
mer Palace; bring them here to me
first. Your arm, officer; I think I
will go to my room—I am not well."
Prince Ivan's countenance grew mot-
tled and greyish, and his teeth showed
In the sun like a thin line of dazzling
white. He grasped the poltroon by
the wrist with a hand of steel.
'Listen," he said—"Vo more of thk,;
I will not have it! I will not waste
my own time and the blood of my
father's soldiers for naught. This is
but some woman's trick to delay the
marriage—I know it. Hearken! I fear
neither Black Death nor black devil;
I will have the I^ady Margaret to-<fay
If I have to wed her on her deathbed!
Now, I cannot enter your wife's cham-
ber alone. Yet go I must, if only to
see what all this means, and you shall
accompany me. Do you hear, Prince
Louis? 1 swear you shall go with me
to the Summer Palace, if I have to
drag you step by step!"
His grasp lay like a tightening cir-
cle of Iron about the wrist of Prince
Louis; his steady glance^ dominated
the weaker man. Louis drew in his
breath with a choking noise.
"I will," he gasped: "if I must—I
will go. But the Death—the Black
ySu my word of honor see Is in no
danger. Call your sister!"
Even as he spoke he tapped lightly,
turned the key in the lock and whis-
pered, "Now!" to the Prince of Court-
land.
"Tell the Princess Margaret I would
speak with her!" said Prince Louis,
"For a moment only!" he added, fear-
ing that otherwise she might not
come.
There was a stir in the sick cham-
ber and then quick steps were heard
coming lightly across the floor. The
face of the princess appeared at the
door.
"Well?" she said haughtily to her
brother. Prince Ivan she did not see.
for he had stepped back Into the dusk
of the corridor. Louis beckoned his
sister without.
"I must speak a word with you," l*s
said. "I would not have these fellows
hear us!" She stepped out unsuspect-
ingly. Instantly the door was closed
behind her. A dark figure slid be-
tween. Prince Ivan turned the key
and laid his hand upon her arm.
"Help!" she cried, struggling; "help
me! For God's grace, let me go!"
But from behind came four cossacks
of the Prince's retinue who half-
carried, half-forced her along toward
the gates at which the Muscovite
horses stood ready saddled. And as
Margaret was carried down the pas-
sage the alarmed servitors stood
"I swear you shall go with me."
Death! I am sick—truly, Ivan, I am
very !ck!"
"So am I!" said Prince Ivan, smil-
ing grimly. "But bring his Highness
a cuj) of wine, and send hither Alexis
the Deacon, ray own physician."
Tho officer went out cursing the
Muscovite ears that had listened to
such things, and also high Heaven
for giving such a Prince to his father-
land.
At the Princess' door Prince Ivan
tapped gently and inclined his ear to
listen. Louis fumbled with his golden
crucifix, and as the Muscovite turned
away his head he pressed it furtively
to his lips. Ever since he set foot In
the Summer Palace he had be«n mut-
"Help!" she cried, struggling.
aloof from her cries, seeing that
Prince Louis himself was with her.
Yet she cried out unceasingly in her
anger and fear, "To me, men of Court-
land! The cossacks carry me off—I
will not go! O, God, that Conrad were
here! I will not be silent! Maurice,
save me!"
But the people only shrugged their
shoulders even when they heard—as
did the guards and the gentlemen-in-
watting, the underlings and the very
porters at the palace gates. For they
said, "They are strange folk, these
Courtland princes and princesses of
ours, with their marriages and giving
In marriage. They can neither wed
nor bed like other people, but must be
taken by force. Well, happily it Is no
business of ours!"
Then at the stair foot she sank
down by the sundial, almost fainting
with the sudden alarm and fear, crying
for the last time and yet more pierc-
ingly, "Maurice! Maurice! Come to
me, Maurice!" Then above them In
the palace there began a mighty
clamor, the noise of blows stricken
and the roar of many voices. But Ivan
of Muscovy was neither to be hurried
nor flurried. Impassive and determin-
ed, he swung himself Into the saddle.
His black charger changed his feet
to take his weight and looked about
to welcome him—for he, too, knew hla
master.
"Give the princess to me," he com-
manded. "Now assist Prince Louis
into his saddle. To the cathedral, all
of you!"
(To be continued.)
Mixing Theology and Poker.
"Few persons except clerks behind
the counter know to what extent dis-
count is given to the families of clergy-
men, firemen and policemen," said
a floor manager in an uptown store.
"There Is no doubt we are often Im-
posed upon in this way, but there
seems to be no way to prevent it.
It is hard to question a woman's
ve aclty when she tells you she Is the
wlie, sister or daughter, as the case
may be, of the Rev. Mr. Blank of Flat-
bush, or that her husband is a fire-
man. We must take her word for it.
The oddest case of that kind I ever
saw happened last week. A young
woman came around to purchase some
articles for a camping outfit; said she
and her mother and sisters were going
to spend the summer in the Adlron-
daeks.
"Among her purchases were six
packages of playing cards at forty
cents a pack and two boxes of poker
chips.
" 'And now,' she said, as she reach-
ed for her purse, 'please compute the
usual discount for ministers. My
father is the Rev. Mr. Dash of St.
Circle's.'
"I thought she was imposing on us,
and I made an investigation. Much
to my surprise, I found she was speak
lng the truth."—-New York Press.
Returned Home to Die.
Twenty-six years ago Joseph Stacy
disappeared from his home in Eliot,
Me. His whereabouts remained a
mystery until two weeks ago, when
he suddenly presented himself in the
town. He stated frankly that he had
come home to die, and did so within
a week after his arrival. He had been
in the west most ol the time sines
leaving home.
THOUSANDS OF LIVES SAVED
By "Mother's Medicine Chest" and
Patent Prescription*.
Commenting on attacks made by
certain eastern publications on some
of the best known and most valuable
of the world's proprietary medicines,
the Committee on Legislation of the
Proprietary Association says:
"All through the country districts,
In every state of the union, you will
find In the farm houses the old family
remedies, sometimes called 'patent
medicines,' many of which have been
In use In the same household for gen-
erations. Among such people the old-
fashioned proprietary medicine, al-
ways at hand with full printed In-
structions for use, is one of the neces-
sities of life.
"To families in the country many
miles from a doctor such remedies are
invaluable. 'Mother's medtcine chest'
has saved many a life and met many
a threatening sickness at the thres-
hold and turned It out of doors. So
far from constituting self-prescription,
Is often pretended, acquaintance
with a 'patent medicine' often obvi-
ates the necessity of such a step; for
here is a prescription already made
up, the effect of which Is well known.
One of the greatest advantages of
such medicine Is that Its constant for-
mula gives It the character of a single
drug, so far as uniformity of result is
concerned, and the people who use it
know from experience Just what they
can count on—which is more than can
be said of many physicians' prescrip-
tions frequently obtained at a far
greater cost and trouble."
