Jay when tfcey met In the garden of

pleasant da?V

"Why. I see no Indentions of jt."

"When the atorm breaks it will strike
tbiB man whom you have honored with
your favorable consideration." . ?
"How? When? Where?"
"You shall see."
"Won't you tell me?"
"Nothing is to be gained by my tell
ing you. 1 prefer that you should see1
for yourself."
. And Mr. Ruggles with cold politeness 1
lifted bis hat and passed on.
Miss Harper went straight to her
mother with the Information or, rather,
the insinuation. Mrs. Harper had been
a bit worried lest she had lifted her
daughter out of jfche frying pan to drop
her into the fire. Ker object now was
to take advantage of what Ruggles had
said to discredit both the rivals.
"My dear," she said, "In the first
place, it is very mean of Sam to cast a
slur upon this Mr. Caton. It shows a
very contemptible disposition on Sam's
part. But we must remember that we
know' nothing about Caton. He may be
a gentleman and be may not be. Likely
be is some young man who has got
hold of a little money and is spending
it in the only outing of his life."
"That can't be, mamma. He has the
manner of one accustomed to the very I
best society. As for Sam. if he knows
anything about Mr. Caton It would be j
very. wicked of him not to warn me."
"Then why doesn't he tell you the |
whole" story and hare done with It?* i
Mrs. Harper was not considering the
Inexperience of youth or the deflection
of judgment occasioned by jealousy.
It was enough for her to get her daugh
ter oat of the tolls of a man worth
crly $5,000 a year and make sure that
Gwen should not become too far In
terested in one who for all that was
known about him was not worth a ,
cent.
It was a few days alter this conver
sation between mother and daughter,
at which Gwen promised to drop Mr.
Caton at once, that the storm Ruggles
had predicted broke. A woman with
angular features was driven from the
railroad station to the hotel, who. in
stead of placing her name on the
register, held a 'private conference
with the landlord and was excused
from doing so. She arrired In the]
morning about an hour after a party of
gentieiben. including Caton. had gone ;
out ofef. the water for a day's fishing.
It wag not long after- the 'kwly'fir^

AN EXTREMELY BAD CASE.
This, is a picture of Selma Ellis, who was heavily infected wUh hook
worms. 8ixteen *rears old, weight sixty-two and a half pounds, anaemic
ulcer on leg; had been sick for eight years or hatf of his young life. This pic
turs was made when his case fifSt esms up for treatment. Seven weeks' later
he was up and walking about, hia weight had increased to seventy-nine pounds,
all the hookworms were gone snd ths count of red corpuscles in his blood had
increased from 1,050,000 to 4,572,500. The ulcer was healing and was almost
well. ^
worms and that bis health Is tailing.
The eruption is Identical with what
we ?ee so often in the summer and
call "ground Itch," or "toe itch." This
Is the beginning of hookworm disease.
Hookworm disease then Is usually con
tracted by those who go barefoot In
warm weather, where the soil is damp
and where human excrement, which
is laden with the eggs of the hook
worms, In some way has been scat
tered. Only a few hours are required
tor the eggs to hatch, and within a
week the little larvae or worms are
rfady to bore into . the skin and pro
duce ground Itch.
They are too small to be seen with
the naked eye. but when they get
into the boipe they grow rapidly
and' soon reach a size sufficient for
them to be easily recognized by the
unaided eye. -. Persons hare been
treated who unsuspectingly were car
rying around three or four thousands
vOfithese ItttVs bloodsuckers, baring
ffelr strength sapped, but they knew
^not how.

uutil they could be deeply buried or oth

no hookworm eggs ever could hatch,
there would be no new hookwoKn lar

months. Then there would be no new

worms will not multiply In the bowels
old age would overtake those now liv
