PENCER, whose recovery dur ing the last few days had been ns rapid aa the first develop ment of bis Indisposition, had Just changed for dinner and was light ing a "cigarette d'appertif" when, without waiting to be announced, the Vicomte de Bergillac entered the room. Spencer, with lightning-like Intuition, knew that his time was come. "Off with yoiaj coat, man, and get your code books "out. I am going to give you the most sensational story which has ever appeared in your pa per!" ha' exclaimed. "Only remember this It must appear tomorrow morn ing. I am arranging for the French papers to have it. Yours shall be the only English Journal. Glance through these sheets. They contain the story of Taffatre Poynton.' " Spencer was master of the gist of the thing In a very few moments. His eyes were bright with excitement "Who guarantees this?" he asked quickly. ' "My uncle has signed it," Henri de Bergillac answered, "and at the bottom of the page there you will see a still more distinguished signature. You un derstand Taffaire Poynton' now? It is very simple. That English boy actual ly witnessed a meeting between the czar and the emperor and turns up in Parts, with a loose sheet of a treaty between the two relative to an attack upon England. Our people got bold of him at tbe Cafe Montmartre, and we have hidden him away ever since. Our friends, the Germans, who seemed to have had some suspicions about him, have filled the city with spies, but from the first we have kept them off tbe scent We had a little difficulty in convincing our friends, your country people, but we managed to borrow a few papers from the German ambas sador while he was staying at a coun try house in England, which were suf ficient." Spencer was already writing. His coat lay on the floor where he had thrown It. "Don't go for a moment, De Bergll- Inc." he said. "I want to ask you a few things. I can talk and code at the same time. What about iuaa Poyn ton?" "Well, we had to take care of her, too," De Bergillac said. "Of course all her inquiries over here would have lea to nothing, but they knew about her at the English embassy, so we walked her off from tho Cafe Montmartre one night and took her to a friend of mine, the Marquise de St Ethol. We told her a little of the truth and a little, I'm afraid, which was an exaggera tjon. Anyhow we kept her quiet, and we got her to go to England for ns Tvith Toquet They had a very narrow shave down at Runton, by the bye. "After this," Spencer said, with sinlle, "the secret service people prop ar will have to look to their laurels. It Is a trlumnh for the amateurs." The vicomte twirled his tiny Diaca mustache. "Yes," he said, we have Justified ourselves. It has cost ns sometning, though!" 'M. Loulsr Spencer stopped writing. i it was an anair or a muuou ii the vicomte said. "I hope he has got the money." Hnenrar resumed his work. "The baroa a traitor!" he exclaimed. "Where la he?" "In England. We are not vindictive. If tbe Germans paid mm a muuuu francs they got nothing for It He ha. hen watched from the first We hi nf it tha moment he came to forma with them. He only knows bare facts. Nothing beyond. He Is going ta Brazil. I think.

"I have brought you an evening paper. Tbe Baltic fleet has sunk half a dozen English fishing boats, and the whole country Is In a frenzy. It is the begin ning." Spencer nodded. "Leave the. paper, there's a good fel low," he said. "I will look It through presently. If there Is time If there Is only time this will be tbe greatest Bight of my life. No other paper has. a hint, you say?" ' "No one!" "If I could put back tbe clock a sin gle hour!" Spencer muttered. "Never mlndl Williams, more sheets!" De Bergillac took his leave. He had telephoned for his motor, which was waiting outside. He gave the order to drive to his rooms. On the way he passed the great pile of buildings In tbe Louvre. In a room at tbe extreme end of the pile a light was burning. De Bergillac looked at It curiously. A small brougham, which he reeognised, stood outside. "it one could see Inside," he mut tered. "It would be Interesting f In a sense It was Interesting. M. Grisson sat there In dent of his open table. His secretary's place by hir side was vacant Opposite sat a tall man with gray hair and dark mustache. He was dressed for the evening, and his breast glittered with stars and or ders. ' "It la exceedingly kind of yon, mon sieur," he said, "to grant me this Inter view at so short notice. I was most anxious to apprize you of news which as yet, I believe, has not found Its way into your papers. You have read ac counts of a Russian attack upon an English fishing fleet, hut ybn have not yet been Informed of tbe presence tbe undoubted presence of Japanese tor pedo boats concealed among them." M. Grisson raised his eyebrowa "Indeed, nol" he answered. "We have not even heard a rumor of any thing of the sort" "Nevertheless their presence was in dubitable," tbe prince declared. "Un der those circumstances, monsieur, yon can doubtless understand' that our re ply to any protests on the part of Eng land will be of an nnpaclflc nature. We shonld not for a moment allow ourselves to be dictated to by the allies of our enemy." "Naturally," M. Grisson answered. "On the other hand, you surely do not wish to embroil yourself In a quarrel with England at the present moment?" "We wish to quarrel with no one," the prince answered haughtily. "At tbe same time, we are not afraid of England. We recognize the fact tnat lr war should come It Is an Independent affair and does not como under the ob ligations of oar alliance. We ask, therefore, for your neutrality alone." M. Grisson bowed. "But, prince," he said gravely, "yon sneak lightly enough of tbe posslbill ties of war, but surely you must know that the English fleet In tbe cnannei and at Gibraltar altogether outmatches the Baltic fleet!" "A, Russian," the prince answered grandly, "Is not afraid of great oddsl" M. Grisson bowed. "For the sake of humanity," he eald, "I trust most sincerely that affairs may te peaceably arranged. If the contrary should turn ont to be the case, I caa only say that In a qnarrel which concerns Russia and England alone France would remain benevo lently neutral. As you have remarked, the obligations of our treaty do not apply to such s case." Tbe prince played nervously with the star at bis cheat Both men were well sware that np to now they had been merely playing with words. "There Is snotber contingency." the Ruaslsn remarked, "which now we are npon the subject It would perhaps be as well to ellude to. The relations be tween Germany snd England, ss yon know.

I need not remark that all such rumors were entirely discredited here. Such a mooting kept secret from us would of course be very seriously considered here." The prince smiled. He remained ad' mlrably self possessed, though tbe very veins In his forehead were swoll en with anger. "A canard of the sort has reached my ears,"-he remarked. "Some Eng lish boy, I believe, Imagined or dream ed that he saw some such meeting. We scarcely need, I think, to discuss this seriously." "Personally I agree with yon," M. Grisson said smoothly. "My ministry, however, seems to have been little Impressed by the boy's story. An au tograph letter from the czar denying It would perhaps make our negotiations more easy." "It shall be forthcoming," the prince remarked, rising. "By tbe bye, I bear reports of great activity from Cher bourg. More maneuvers, eh?" M. Grisson shrugged his shoulders. "Our new naval chief," be remarked, "Is a marvel of Industry. You know tne English proverb snout the new .broom, eh?" ; . The prince bowed.

Inda.de an' it Is that same," agreed Mrs. O'Grady, with an approving nod, as she hauled one child out of the fen der and scraped tbe cinders off bis frock. "An' what makes ye say that, Phellm?" "'Cause me master belaves In me veracity Intolrely," was tbe response of Phellm. He lighted his short pipe and took bis accustomed seat on ' s broken chair near the chimney. "I tould him this morning that I couldn't help being late an' that I had run a molle In a minute an' a half to get there In tolme. An' what do ye think he said?"

Restless eyes denote a deceitful, de signing disposition; greenish eyes mean falsehood, malice and a love of scan dal; blue eyes tell of tendency to co quetry; black eyes mean a lively, spir ited and sometimes deceitful charac ter; eyos with a yellowish, bloodshot white usually betoken strong emotions and hot temper; gray eyes mean dig nity and Intelligence and brown eyes s tender, true, kind snd happy nature.

Four by four Inch pieces ef wood may be used for posts, to which planks should be nailed on tbe sides snd ends. Tbe height ef the frame should be about two feet In front and three feet on the back, eighteen Inohes of each side being below tbe surface of tbe ground. After the frame Is pnt in place tbe earth shonld be firmly compacted around It and It Is well to hsve tbe surface of the soli slope awsy from tbe frame to provide for surface drainage. About ten days or two weeks before it -Is desired to sow the seed In tbe hotbed tbe required smount of fresh horse manure, to which bss been sdd ed one-third of Its bulk of strsw or leaves, should be beeped In a compact pile. If the manure Is not uniformly wet, s little water may be sdded, but not enough to mske It soggy. The manure will show signs of fermenting, generally known ss besting, la a few days, wben It should be forked over, thoroughly mixed snd made Into a compact heap again. After snotber In terval of three or four days the ma nure Is ready to be placed la the frame. As It Is put In It should be compacted with a fork and by tramp ing. In order that the manure may be one foot deep after It has bad time to settle it should be about fourteen or fif teen Inches deep when first pnt In. Tbe best soil to use Is a compost such as Is need In greenhouses snd which consists of two-thirds sods and one-third manure well composted.

OBEItT FULTON'S parents were so poor tbat the future inventor had scarcely any education, bureiy learning how to read and write. His father died when Robert was three years old, and at an early sge the boy was apprenticed to a Philadelphia Jeweler. In addition to his work In the shop, young ' Fulton applied himself to portrait and laud scape painting and showed such talent that he -was enabled to keep his wid owed mother and in four years bought a farm on which be placed ber. He then went to London to prosecute the study of bis art as a painter. So strong s bent had be for science, how ever, that In bis odd hours bo studied mechanics and engineering. Finally attracting the attention of the Duke of Bridgewnter, who was then inter ested In an extensive canal schema, Fulton wss Induced by that gentleman to glvs up painting sitogother and to, devote, himself to civil engineering and invention. v In tbe next few years Fulton Invent ed an Incline plane for. supplanting ca nal locks, a mill for sawing snd polish lng marble, s machine for spinning flax snd snotber for- making ropes. He also wrote s book on navigating canals and another on tbe application of steam to navigation. At sbout this time be attracted the notice of Edward V. Livingston, United States minister at Paris, fn responss to sn Invitation Fulton went to tbat city, where be soon Invented a submarine host, which bs vainly triad to have adopted by the French, British and American govern ments. After bis failure in this at tempt he returned to bis dream of steam navigation snd Invented a small Lost which successfully naVlgated the Belne. Livingston wss so Interested tbat he advanced money to Fulton to come to America and build a steam boat for the Hudson. Tbe result wss ths Clermont from whose first trip between New York snd Albany dates tbe beginning of a new era-In the water transportation of tbe world.

Describe the goods aa fully as you plense, talk about your factory, your reputation, your methods, your business policy, give pictures of processes, product or pfetty girls, build up the story from your stand point and emphasize it by fine print ing, strengthen your argument with logic, physiology, mechanics or tra dition, and still tho whole thing will fail unless this elaboration leads up to the point where Ihe reader is told what the goods are going to do for him. Dissect the "live" selling adver tisement and it will be found to lie in every sentence that arouses the desire of possession. After the cloth ing factory has been described and the suit pictured, then the advertiser. must put tne coat on the reader and I smooth it down the back, Descrip-1 tion is largely fudge unless it leads up (o arguments that arouse this de sire for possession' It may be im possible to aiouse desire until de scription has demonstrated desira bility, Bui unless the advertise ment appeals in the end on a strict basis of self interest it wastes words, printing ink and paper. Interest is one thing in advertis ing. Self interest of the reader is another. Get them well defined in your mind and be sure to put them both in. If one must be left out let it be mere interest. - Occasional headache, belching, bad tastein the mouth, lack of appe tite and slight nervousness are symptoms of indigestion which, when allowed to go uncared for,will develop into a cafe of dyspepsia that will take a long time to get rid ot.
