After a series of experiments on five students he declared that daily tests with finger and thumb on a dynamometer made for thirty days showed an increase of mus- cular power of more than 100 per cent. But the brain, tested in add- ing figures, solving difficult puzzles, and other similar feats, showed a greater increase than the muscles. This announcement rather puts to flight the theory so commonly ac- cepted that the man working with his brain tires much more quickly than the man digging in the street. Well, Well!

Now, for the first time, her hope of winning St. Leon died in her héart. She knew that Lyn- dall had won the love she had meant to make her own. He had asked Lyndall to marry him. Tears of mortification rained down her cheeks; it was not only that the hope and treasure of her life was wrecked, but she was humili- ated; she had loved in vain, and her haughty nature writhed under it. ° 'Tt shall not be!' she cried wild- ly; "he shall not marry Lyndall."' But how could she prevent it? was the cry that welled up from her jealous heart--but the night wind, sighing among the trees, made her no answer. "Shall I lose the only love I have ever craved, the only blessing life could ever hold for me? I cannot!" Suddenly a thought struck her; in the first moment that it came to her, she seemed to shrink from it, for a crimson flush dyed her face, and her eyes fell as though with a sense of shame. "T could not do that,'? she mur- mured. "I should fail--exposure and disgrace would follow--and then----" Evelyn Kent wavered go long over the temptation that filled her very soul that it is not to be won- dered at that ere long it mastered her. "T will do it," she cried huskily as she glided back to the house. All unseen she gained her own room and passed through it into that of her mother, - Mrs. Kent lay upon her couch, sleeping deeply, as her daughter could hear by her regular breath- ing. Near the stand which she always drew to her bedside, was a number of small vials. , The lady was an asthmatic suf- ferer and depended, whenever, the spells came upon her, upon the use of powerful potions to lull her to sleep and deaded the terrible pain. Very carefully Evelyn selected one of these vials, and pouring out a glass of iced lemonade from a sil- ver pitcher, added a few drops from the vial, which deepened the rich amber color but slightly. She knew Lyndall's custom of al- ways taking a glass of lemonade the last thing before she retired at night. Bennett, her maid, always had it standing on the,marble cen- ter-table of her boudoir ready for her. With noiseless feet Evelyn made her way through the corridor, paus- ing at length before Lyndall's door. Would she find it locked? If so, her deep scheme would be futile. Fate favored the girl--as she turned the knob the door swung back noiselessly on its hinges. CHAPTER XXIII. The sight that met Evelyn Kent's gaze as she crossed the threshold of Lyndall's room she never forgot while her life lasted. Lyndall had flung herself on her knees by her couch, and her white arms were uplifted supplicatingly heavenward, Evelyn waited to hear no more-- even though she had wavered be- fore--after hearing Lyndall's prayer she was strong in her pur- pose. Softly as a shadow she glided to the center-table on which stood Something New-and Better. CANADA SUGAR REFINING CO. LIMITED. MORTREAL | | bitterly ; J Lyndall's goblet. of lemonade -- as yet untasted--and, with a quick, |. noiseless movement she exchanged it for the glass she had brought with her! S "Tf you drain that glass you will hardly keep your appointment with St. Leon," muttered Evelyn. Sitting down by her window, she began her weary vigil of watching the old south gate for the return of St. Leon. The moon was so bright and the night so clear all objects were ren- dered visible-for a considerable dis- tance--she had but to watch and await coming events. Meanwhile, in Lyndall's room at the lower end of the corridor, Lyn- dall was swiftly and silently making her preparations for her journey with St. Leon. She had risen from her knees, crossed the room, and very noiselessly threw open the wardrobe door, selected from it a traveling-dress and a long dark cloak, which she proceeded to hast- ily don. At that moment the goblet of lem- onade on the center-table caught her eye. 'Poor old Bennett," she murmur- ed, '"'she never forgets to provide for my comfort. "How long will it be, I wonder, ere I drink another lemonade of her making? "T must not consult with her as to the advisability of the step I am about to make, for I might not be able to withstand her remonstranc- es. After I drink my lemonade I will write her a letter telling her what I have done, and also asking her to inform Elsie Graham and all the rest in the house that I have been called suddenly away. No one must know of my marriage to Jack until we are far away--far away on the deep blue sea. "Jack is innocent," she mused. '"'Ah, I could rest the hope of my soul hereafter upon it." As she murmured the words slow- ly, Lyndall raised the fatal goblet to her lips. 'How very--very sweet it is," murmured Lyndall; "and Bennett knows that I like it a little tart; but no matter.' Slowly as a bird sips the dew from the lily's cup, Lyndall drained the glass. A few moments she sat there lost in reverie. "Time is passing swiftly," she told herself; 'Jack will be waiting for me." Suddenly a quick, sharp like an-~ electric shock, through her brain. "How my head throbs and burns!' she murmured, pressing her little cold hands to her burning temples. "How strangely dizzy Il feel! Why is that wardrobe door open?" she asked herself in bewil- derment. "I--I--wanted something there, but what it was I--I--cannot remember," She crossed the room with un- steady steps, and looked within the wardrobe in puzzled wonder. "Something was weighing heavily on my mind, too," she mused; "but what it was quite escapes me; I have forgotten entirely." It was but too true; the strong potion she had taken with the le- monade had the effect of obliterat- ing entirely from her mind all re- membrance of the hurried journey for which she was preparing. "Tam so tired, so tired," mur- mured lLyndall confusedly, stil] pressing her hands to her burning forehead; 'I think I will go to sleep; there is nothing like sleep for those tired out in body and mind. I feel sure there was some- thing I intended to. do, but what it is I cannot recollect. I never was so sleepy in all my life." " pain, darted Lyndall © rena herself quick- ly and crepttinto bed; but her head had barely touched the white pil- low ere she fell into a deep and dreamless sleep. Promptly at the time agreed upon by St. Leon and Lyndall, a closed earriage dashed up to the old south gate, and St. Leon sprung from it. No form hastened forth to meet him from among the shadows of the roses. "Lyndall,'"' he called softly. There was no answer. "T am ahead of time, it seems,"' he murmured, consulting his watch by the clear, bright hght of the moon. Five--ten minutés passed, St. Leon fastened the horse' se- curely to. the iron staple in the post, and paced restlessly up and down the daisy-bordered road. '"'Lyndall should make haste," he murmured, impatiently; 'we shall miss the express as sure as fate." Ten--twenty minutes passed; an- other half hour dragged its slow length by. Jack St. Leon stoed quite motion- less.in the white moonlight, his face as pale as it would ever bé in death. "T ean come to but one. conclu-} sion," he said, "'and that is, Lyn- | dall has thought better of going with me. She has changed her mind--yes, that- is it," he added '"woman-like she has thought the matter all over, and has concluded what she calls duty was 'stronger in her breast than love. I should have taken her at her word and taken her with me, when she consented to marry me-- then I would have been sure of her. There is but one course to purste, and that is to remain in Lenox." That was the turning-point of Jack St. Leon's life. At that very hour, Mr. Atwell, the Boston detective, was just fin- ishing a long-communication to his chief, which he had been all day in preparing. -- He reviewed the whole number of earefully-written pages very delib- ertly after he had signed his name, A Real Estate Mortgage Bond Secured on Central City Real Estate valued at over $1,496,000. : The total mortgage indebtedness against this property. is only 40% of the valuation. : The Bonds are issued in denominations of $500 and $1,000 each and will pay the investor 6°(%.

"T think I have a pretty sure case of it,'? he muttered, "and am in a very good way of earning the heavy reward Philip Severne's sister has offered; but what a tangled skein it was, to be sure. I ought to have caged my bird to-day. I cannot tell, with all my usual sagacity in impreving opportunities, why I did not. And yet--I suppose it is quite as well to wait for daylight."' He sat down by the window, late as the hour was, and lit a cigar; watching, carelessly enough, the green, waving trees that stretched afar down to the park gate, and the white, serpentine road that led past it. As he sat there he saw a close carriage drive by. There was nothing remarkably strange in that, and the chances are he would have paid little at- tention to it had it not at that in- stant stopped abruptly. and its oc- cupant, after tying his horse, walk- ed deliberately up to the gate of the villa, entered the grounds, and after advancing a few steps stopped motionless in the path in the clear moonlight. 3 Atwell sprung to his feet and studied the man keenly. "Not a burglar, I am satisfied of that," he said grimly; "his stand- ing out there in the clear moon- light instead of creeping along un- der the dense shadows. of the trees precludes that possibility. But who is he? The man _ looks like St. Leon," he muttered; "but surely I am mistaken."' Hurrying to his satchel, he took from it a peculiarly constructed and extremely powerful field-glass. "This will settle all doubt upon the matter," he said grimly, ad- justing it to his eyes. One sweeping glance, then a sharp exclamation broke from his lips. "By the Eternal! it is Jack St. Leon."' - In that quick glance he noted, too, through the glass, the travel- ing duster that St. Leon wore. Quickly seizing his hat and cane, Mr. Atwell hurried from the house and gained the main road by a cir- cuitous path--reaching the south gate; and at that-moment St. Leon was emerging from it. They were face to face. "Good-evening, Mr. St. Leon,' said Atwell, laying his hand heay- ily on St. Leon's shoulder. CHAPTER XXIV. St. Leon turned hastily as that heavy hand fell on his shoulder, and found himself standing face to , face with Mr. Atwell, the Boston detective. For an instant St. Leon's face turned deadly pale, then a crimson flush stole over it, as Lyndall's words of warning recurred to him. He bowed haughtily in response to the other's salutation, and waited for his companion to pro- ceed, if he had anything further to say, which Atwell seemed in no hur- ry to do. What the termination of that in- terview was all Lenox knew by the next morning, and that fashionable resort was startled and shocked as it had never been before. Men talked about it in subdued tones on the street corners; ladies heard of it with little shrieks of hor- ror while at the breakfast table; young girls listened to it with white, awe-stricken faces, and everybody agreed that it was an atrocious out- OLA EO 5 'Let "Dick" : Choose Fill your bird's seed dish afresh with the seed you have been using, then put somé of BROCK'S within Teach, and e¢e how quickly Dick picks aut "Brock's **; Feed him for a month on Brockh's Bird Seed --let him enjoy the cake of Brock's Bird Treat that comes in'every box-- and notice the improvement in his plumage, health and sone.

Elsie Graham heard the report with a gasp of dismay, and flew at once to Lyndall's room to impart to her the startling news. Although it.was late in the morn- ing Lyndall was just rising from her couch. : When Bennett brought her the cup of chocolate which she always took before rising, she opened her large dark eyes in a dazed sort of way. "Why did you not cal] me earlier, Bennett?' she asked reproachful- ly, as she gazed in amazement at the clock on the marble mantel. 'Tt seemed almost impossible to waken you, Miss Lyndall!" declar- ed Bennett. "I went so far as to even shake you slightly an hour since, but you slept soundly--so soundly I was beginning to grow alarmed. It was so unusual for you, you know."' "Tt seemed to me," said Lyndall, slowly, as she suffered Bennett to fasten the pretty blue cashmere robe about her, "that there was something very important on my mind which I intended to do when I retired last night. I have been try- ing to think what it was, but it es- eapes me, Bennett." (To be continued.) be ge ean ee HOUSEHOLD NEW DISHES FROM ITALY. Although French cooking is tra- ditionally regarded as the best of any country in Europe, there. are those who cherish a weakness for Italian dishes. The following re- cipes were culled by the writer when she was on a visit to Italy, and made the discovery that many new touches were given to our own familiar foods. Some are well worth duplicating at our tables by way of achieving the especial sauce of appetite--variety. Spinach, for instance, is served in a ring .mold, the vegetable being tender in the usual way, drained, chopped fine and when hot passed through a wire'sieve. At the point a little white, thin sauce, with the white of an egg, is added, and the mixture pressed into a mold, which is set in hot water until needed for table. Thin, hot slices of tongue are laid in groups of twos and threes on the top of the ring. Plain boiled rice, cooked tender and well salted, becomes a dish of consequence if served with a cream cheese sauce. A rich white sauce is made and grated Parmesan cheese stirred in thickly while the sauce is very hot. Serve with this course oblongs of dry thin toast. The following dishes are even more typically Italian than the fore- going, and if the recipes are faith- fully carried out will be found quite excellent: Pizzella--Add to rather less than three-fourths pound of flour three potatoes rubbed through a sieve and a pinch of salt. Dissolve a piece of fresh yeast the size of a small marble, in a little tepid water. Make a hole in the eenter of the flour and add the dissolved yeast, working the paste lightly un- til 16 comes away easily from the baking board or slab (a marble slab is the best). Put the paste in a basin and place it aside in a warm place until it has risen (about three hours).

Rolle of Rice.--Boil a cabbage. Boil some rice (do not overboil it), and when ready add two well-beat- en eggs, a little butter, pepper, salt and grated Parmesan cheese. Spread a small quantity on a leaf of a boiled cabbage, and / roll it round and tie it. When as many as required are prepared, fry them in boiling oil. Serve very hot, with tomato sauce to which some butter and grated Parmesan have been added. a CARE OF THE DISHCLOTH. During the last few years scien- tists have endeavored to awaken the people to the vast importance of bacteria. To-day every one is be- ginning to realize and to recognize' the important part which bacteria play in home sanitation, writes an experienced housekeeper, Bacteria comprise a small class of law plants which are possessed of wonderful powers. There are hundreds of different species and forms, all of which are extremely minute and which are never visible to the naked eye. The fact that they are so universally found in nature, together with their great powers of multiplication, renders them of the greatest importance in nature. We should not get the idea that all bacteria are to be condemned, be- cause some of them are our friends rather than our enemies, How- ever, there is a class of bacteria, called pathogenic, or disease-pro- dueing bacteria, which are harmful, and it is against. these that we should wage our war. To most people the care of the dishcloth seems a very simple and unimportant phase in our house- hold duties, and yet the dishcloth is a very important factor in the kitchen, and may be the cause of serious trouble, We all know of a housekeeper (of course we never do such a thing), who is really very cleanly and con- sidered a number one housekeeper, who, after washing her dishes, washes off the gas plate, the sink and probably a little of the wood- work with the same cloth. She throws out the dishwater, rinses out the pan and cloth and hangs it over the pan or over in some dark corner towdry. Then after each meal this process is continued, until the cloth is simply in strings. I know a woman who says that she "always makes it a rule never to use her dishcloth after it gets to be over a yard long." Now, when we stop to consider the seriousness of pathogenic bacteria and the dis- eases which they cause, we real@ey that a slimy, greasy dishcloth be very likely to breed disease, A noted physician relates an ex- perience which he had in a family where a daughter was taken ill with diphtheria. After her death two other members of the family were taken with the same clisease. As there were no other cases in that town and apparently no cause for it, he began to investigate. Ho searched the whole house and sur- roundings and found everything perfectly sanitary. He was about to give up his investigation when he caught sight of the dishcloth, Upon examining it he found it to contain millions of microbes. 80 the cause of the diphtheria was at- tributed to the dirty dishcloth which the mother had thoughtlessly used. We should always wash the dish- cloth thoroughly with hot water and soap after using it, rinse it and shake it out and then hang it in the sun to dry; never using it for anything excepting ' dishwashing. And do not use it until "it is a yard long."
