Wheat 1'roduot in England.
In England the average yield of
wheat Is over thirty bushels to the
acre, but In this country it Is below
fifteen bushels, the difference being
mainly due to the fact that in Great
Britain highly productive varieties of
the grain have been secured through a
long period ot selection and breeding.

Kegroe* t i Weu Virginia.
West Virginia Is rapidly becoming
more and more the Mecca of the ne-
groes of the south. The climate of that
state, and the great coal and coke in-
dustries in operation in almost ever/
county, together wit' the extensive
railroad construction being carried on,
furnish ready as well as lucrative em-
ployment for negro laborers, of whom
15,000 are employed In the mines.

Pan-American Exposition grounds.
Probably a number of years must
elapse before all traces of the havoc
worked by the exposition will have en-
tirely disappeared. The department
wants a special appropriation of $20,-
600 for the work of restoration.

years ago. For two years he doctored

no better. Indeed ho was gradually

Ho stopped taking the doctors' medi-

He attributes his recovery to noth-

CHAPTER XVI (Continued.)
And then—he always stopped at
this point, as though what further
vengeance the gods of retaliation
would Inflict depended on circum-
stances, only that it was his full de-
sign she should feel the bitterness of
death and desertion that had wrung
his heart and turned it to stone.
Fedora was under some species of
spell.
She even knew not herself what it
meant.
This remarkable man Interested her
—he seemed to arouse some half slum-
bering memory that came as might a
vague dream—a memory that must
have been pleasant, for it had an In-
toxicating effect.
The strangeness of the sensation
aroused her curiosity; she could not
tell why she was drawn so Irresistibly
toward this black-bearded American
nabob, who had set the gossips of
London agog, whose name was on
every lip, and of whom she had even
heard the captain proudly mention
more than once at the table as my
friend the Marquis." Nor did she
make any strong effort at resistance
—Just as one Is caught by a swift cur-
rent and drawn on so rapidly that the
senses grow confused.
What more natural than that she
should ask him to call, either during
her usual hour for receiving, or later
when the captain might be at home
to enjoy a cigar with him as they com-
pared notes on adventurous travels
in the jungles and forests of Africa
and America.
The Marquis promised to take ad-
vantage of the first opportunity; then
others came up and their tete-a-tete
was broken.
CHATTER XVII.
Spinning the Web.
Some weeks had passed.
All along the line the Marquis found
himself in a condition to report, prog-
ress.
Mazette had removed to cozy lodg-
ings In a respectable neighborhood,
and encouraged by the appreciation of
this unknown but wealthy patron, she
had set to work most diligently upon
the task given her.
With nourishing food, and hope fill-
ing her heart, the future appeared
rosy-hued, and she soon began to ap-
pear like the cheery Mazette of old.
More work followed—M. Duval
sounded her praises aloud, and there
were those who already thought it the
thing to follow in the footsteps of the
latest lion, so that Mazette's future
seemed assured.
Then one day there was a knock at
the door of her studio, for success had
enabled her to have a workroom such
as she had longed to possess, lo, these
many years.
Upon opening the door the little min-
iature painter saw a tall, heavily-
bearded gentleman, whose air was
somewhat foreign.
She straightway began to tremble,
under the conviction that this must be
her illustrious patron to whom she
owed so much; for, be it known, M.
Duval had been artfully prevailed
upon to give as elaborate a descrip
tion of the noble Marquis as lay in his
power.
When her visitor spoke his voice
was deep and reassuring; and there
seemed to be some rare quality about
it that almost startled little Mazette,
arousing Ill-defined and hazy memo
ries of the past which she could not
whip Into any concrete form, try as
she might.
When the Marquis offered his hand
at leaving she was a little confused
by the warmth of his clasp and the
eagerness with which he promised to
drop In again and see how the work
progressed.
When the Marquis left the modest
little studio he was surprised at the
glow of generous feeling that came
over him.
"God bless the brave little woman-
It does a man good to even bask in
her presence. Here, at least, is no de-
ception such as stalks abroad in so
clety'B circles—she had only good
words for her fellow creatures. At
least let me be grateful for the privi-
lege of being nble to secure her fu
ture. This holy desire for her good
may In a measure offset the still fierce
passion for revenge. At least it gives
me joy. an experience I had never hop-
ed to feel again."
His other plans were maturing.
Evidently the Marquis was in no
hurry—neither is the satiated cat
when she has caught a mouse that she
cannot devour.
Livermore's losses at the gaming ta-
bles were not all indeed, It seemed
as though circumstances had taken a
fiendish delight in combining to smite
this son of fortune at a time when he
could not find a means of resistance.
The several companies controlling
South African mines In which Liver-
more had investments, and which had
been paying good dividends, were
bought up by some new combination,
backed by unlimited capital, and
there was a grave suspicion that the
small shareholders were about to he
frozen out In a way perfectly legiti-
mate yet shockingly cruel.
And there were others, too.
Keally, the doughty captain was
passing through an experience that
promised to make an old man of him
if long continued.
Twice the Marquis had called upon
Fedora, and on each occasion exerted
himself to fascinate t he had never
before done in all his 1 £e.
Affairs were In this state, and the
A rquis could see the possible tragic
outcome of his systematic assault all
a'.ong the line, unless his nerve failed,
or something occur. %d to break the
stern resolution by which he had
bound himself.
A few more visits, he believed, would
complete the fascination of Fedora—
harassed by accumulating debts and
made boorish by his troubles, it might
be readily assumed that the captain
would be anything but an amiable
companion these days, and the couple,
never having had a genuine love for
each other, would drift further apart.
This would be his opportunity—the
glitter of his unlimited wealth, to-
gether with the strange hold he had
upon Fedora, by reason of her old-
time love, though she herself might not
know the real cause—these two com-
bined should tempt her to leave the
falling fortunes of the captain and
seek happiness with the man who con-
trolled her will.
It was a fiendish revenge, and many
times the marquis cursed himself for
entertaining it; yet the memory of his
dreadful sufferings drove him back
again with renewed zeal to pick up the
threads of fate where he had dropped
them and go on with feverish eager-
ness.
It was only when he thought of
Mazette that he winced and grew con-
fused—not for worlds would he ever
have her know what wicked thoughts
struggled with his better nature, and
usually gained the mastery.
One day the marquis, still pursuing
the one object of his presence in Lon-
don at this unfashionable season of
the year, dropped in at the establish-
ment of Captain Livermore, resolved
to play bis cards to advantage, since
a crisis was near.
His quick eye noted signs of con-
fusion, and he knew disaster had at
last fallen upon the captain, who must
seek a cheaper home—yes. evidently
a move was contemplated—his sturdy
blows were beginning to tell, and he
should feel a glow of satisfaction in
the region 'of his heart.
The occasion would be propitious
for his master stroke—surely he
should be able to win her consent—
what had she to consider but a ruined
home and a husband whom she had
wedded while loving another?
He offered her unlimited wealth, be-
yond the dream of the human mind,
love, aud all the attractions the world
can bestow.
Yes, she would yield—he knew how
weak her nature was—had she not
shown it when throwing him over for
fortune's smiles?—she had no anchor
such as the safeguard of a husband's
love would throw around her—he felt
assured of this as he did of anything
in his whole life.
When the marquis entered the house
it was with the confident air of one
who has abundant faith to believe in
the positive success awaiting him—not
over-confidence such as loses battles
but the quiet assurance that springs
from a thorough knowledge of the
powers he controls.
It chanced, however, that there was
one thing he had not counted on, a
matter that might seem of small con-
sequence, and yet which must burst
upon him with appalling force.
As he sat and waited sounds of a
commotion were heard, such as caused
the marquis to start, turn deadly pale
and tremble as he had never done
when bodily danger menaced him—
then through the open door came
dashing two little tots, one a golden-
haired angel of three, the "other a
sturdy, black-eyed English lad of four
—across the floor they scampered,
straight to where the American na-
bob sat gripping the sides of his chair,
and with the assurance some children
possess, forthwith climbed directly
upon his knees and took possession.
At that moment the fort was nearer
being carried by assault than since
the day its steel buttressed walls had
been first barricaded against the
forces of sentiment and the holler pas-
sions that come from above; for up
to this hour this stern man, bent upon
righting his wrongs of the past, had
never once suspected that Fedora was
a mother, and the knowledge came
upon him like a thunderbolt from a
clear sky.
It would be almost Impossible to
adequately measure the surprise and
consternation that overwhelmed the
marquis as he sat there and felt the
chubby arms of Fedora's little dar-
lings about his neck.
It was wonderful what an influence
this new and astounding element had
upon him — he was quite dis-
armed — those chubby hands upon
his face, the little cooing voice,
as trusting eyes looked up
into his own, exclaiming: "Dodo
love 00"—a man must have colder
blood in his veins than the marquis to
endure this and at the same moment
plan destruction to the little maiden's
parents.
In that short time he saw a great
light, such as had never dawned on
him before.
True, it might die out again, over-
whelmed by the darkness of passion's
sway; but the influence of his associa-
tion with those innocents would have
a decided bearing upon his future.
Thus Fedora found them when she
came in, and greatly she marveled at
the sudden fancy her little darlings
had taken for the mysterious marquis.
Of course, their nurse was sum-
moned and they were banished from
the scene: but the retreat was con-
ducted with much reluctance, especi-
ally on the part of Miss Dorothy, who
seemed to have conceived a great
fancy for the marquis.
Thus, the visit that he had Intended
should be so dramatic, and lead to a
crisis, was of an altogether different
nature. And he came away without,
by act or word, having advanced th
j desperate scheme which had so filled
his mind on crossing that home portal.
It was not remorse—the time had
not come for that; but while the
kisses of that Innocent little prattler
were yet warm upon his cheek he
could not strike the terrible blow that
would possibly blight her mother's
future happiness.
Not being in the hnmor to enjoy
social intercourse with Ills fellows, he
avoided those who would have sought
his company, and spent the evening
strolling along Oxford street and High
Holborn, watching the crowds, amok
ing innumerable cigars and wrestling
with his thoughts.
As the hour grew later he found
himself quite a distance from his hotel,
beyond St. Paul's, and even on the
border of the Whiteehapel district of
unenviable fame as one of the most
notorious slum districts of the mod-
ern Babylon.
It was a weary distance to his ho-
tel, and the marquis naturally looked
around for a cab.
Luck seemed to favor him. for the
voice of an eager Jehu hailed from
behind.
The four-wheeler was one of the
night-hawk variety, much the worse
for wear, but to a shipwrecked sailor
any port in a storm is good enough;
so the marquis, with a laugh, bundled
himself inside and sang out his orders.
He might not have been so easy in
his mind had he known that a couple
of fellows swung themselves, one up
with the driver on his seat, and the
other behind the growler.

A MATUTINAL COMEDY.
Intoxicated Young Men the Actor* ami
a Street Car the Stage.
rl here seems to he no end of funny
incidents on surface cars. One hap-
pened the other day on a Third avenue
electric car that approximates pretty
close to taking the palm.
it was near the dawn of a new day,
when early birds are generally sup-
posed to be in quest for vagrant and
Inconsiderate worms. It was raining
great guns. Two young inen in an ad-
vanced condition of inebriety got on
a car, the rules of the railroad com-
pany In such cases providing to the
contrary notwithstanding.
They got on at different streets, so of
course their drunkenness was not
the result of protracted mutual con-
viviality. Again, one was in full eve-
ning dress and wore a hat of modern
make and style. The other was
dressed like a tramp—a seeming
"Weary Willie," just come into town
from his rural travels, and wearing a
slouch hat in the last stage of dilapi-
dation.
Pretty soon both men were sound
asleep, with heads bent forward and
resting on their knees. Shortly the
dude's hat fell off his head and then
the tramp's followed suit. A sympa-
thetic passenger picked them up and
put the silk hat on the tramp's head
and vice versa. He then gave the
tramp a shake and told mm he had
leached his street. The bell was rung
and he was helped to the rear platform
and off the car and there left to enjoy
the hygienic benefits of a cold shower
bath.
Two or three blocks further on the
dude with the tramp's hat on his head
was submitted to the same Pluvian
process of sobering up. The sequel is
left to the reader's imagination, says
the New York Times. Of course, the
conductor was an important factor in
this rare matutinal comedy.
Princely Naval Cadet.
The visit of Prince Henry of Prussia
to the United States naval academy
recalls the personality of another
prince who entered the academy as a
cadet—Prince Peter of Orleans, who
was a member of the class of 1860
and was quite an interesting person-
age. He was a son of Louis Philippe.
The commandant at the academy made
the mistake of telling the cadets that
they were about to receive a Bourbon
and that they should regard it as an
honor. The cadets regarded him as
one of themselves, however, and for
fear that he might think differently
hazed him as no cadet had ever been
hazed before. He took it in a manly
way, and when, as an officer of high
rank in the navy of France he met
any of his tormentors in any part of
the world he was always ready to re-
turn good for evil by rendering every
attention to them. Since then, how-
ever, a different rule prevails at the
acadamy, and cadets from foreign
countries are never hazed. The class
of 1860, to which Prince Peter belong-
ed, contained Clark of the Oregon,
Cook of the Brooklyn, Wilde of the
Baltimore (at Manila), I^eary, Mullan,
Crowninshield and Glass.
IMPURE BAKING POWDER SEIZED
The New York Board of Health Find It
Contains Alum and Rook, Declare It
Dangerous to Health and Dump
It luto the Klver.
The New York papers report that
the Health Department of that city
has Belied as dangerous to health
nearly two tons of cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder and dumped them
Into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More of the powder was found Id a
Sixth ave. department store. The re-
port of the analysis of the Health
Department Htated that It was "an
alum baking powder" containing alum
and pulverised rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways of re-
pressing the sale of bad linking pow-
ders. In England they have prosecui
ed the grocers under the general law
and broken up the traffic. In Missouri
the sale of alum baking powder is
actually prohibited by law. In New
York they seize the unwholesome stuff
and cast it into the river without anv
discussion. The latter way is certain-
ly effective.
The alum baking powders are usu-
ally offered at a low price, ten to
twenty cents a pound, or with some
prize, r.s a temptation to the house-
wife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking
powder of established name and
reputation. Do not be tempted by the
grocer to take something else as "just
as good" or "our own brand," for tho
trials show that the grocer himself is
often deceived by unscrupulous mak-
ers. and is selling an alum powder
without knowing it.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the housekeeper insist
on having what she knows Is right,
and not be induced to risk the life of
the family for an imaginary saving of
a few cents.
Andrew Carnegie Remembered*
Robert Storey of Irwin, Pa., has re-
ceived a letter from Andrew Carnegie
informing him that he had placed on
tho pension list of the old railroad-
ers who were employed on the Penn-
sylvania railroad under Mr. Carnegie.
Mr. Storey was a freight conductor in
the early 60 s. Two men, unknown to
him, boarded the tender of his train,
and when Storey discovered them he
ordered them off. Afterward Storey
learned that one of the men was An-
drew Carnegie.

Hunting for the Colonel.
An army surgeon recently returned
from service in the Philippines tells a
new story, which Is one of the best
that has come from our new posses-
sions. He says a soldier was serving
in a regiment whose colonel was very
much averse to leaving the comforts
tif a city and who had pull enough to
get himself assigned to special duty in
Manila, which had caused his absence
from his regiment for several months.
In the meantime a portion of that par-
ticular command got into a mix-up
with some stray insurgents, and inci-
dentally the soldier referred to had an
eye shot out. He put in some time in
the hospital, and when convalescent
was turned loose for a walk. As ho
strolled down the street he met a
friend, who, seeing the bandage which
hid the cavity, asked him, "What hap-
pened to your eye?" The soldier's
other eye twinkled, and with true
"dougtboy" wit he replied: "I wore
that eye out up-country looking for
that blooming colonel of mine on the
firing line."
Old Time London.
The population of the city of Ijon-
uon In the year 1580 has been estimat-
ed at 123,000 souls. In that year John
Lyly was the most fashionable author,
and 8ir Philip Sidney was the darling
of the court. Edmund Spencer had
just leaped to his immediate and last-
ing popularity, and Shakespeare was
courting Anne Hathaway in the green
lanes of Warwickshire, not a line of
his dramas so much as thought of. It
was not until twenty-five years later,
when King James had come to the
throne, that the city came to number
200,000. London was then, aa now,
the center of the Englian-spenklng
world, but that world was smaller In
population than our single states of
Pennsylvania or New York, and inter-
ests, political, social and literary were
concern rated in the metropolis to u de-
gree far beyond the present, even in
England — Professor Felix E. Schelllng
in Lipplncott'a Magazine.
