Waiting until the key. he entered, and went through the valise in search of anything he could find. He came upon the dagger hatpin, remembered that you had just such a one in your hat that night, and instantly jjmped to the conclusion, as he had seen the wound, that this was the weapon of murder. He believes we were working together, and this was why I had concealed the knife And you? you. believed that? I believed in you, I said earnestly. At first I thought it must be you; then I saw that pin In your hat again, one Just like it when I knew hidden at the hotel. This gave me new hope, until I returned and discovered my valise slit open, and the dagger gone. I knew of no one who would do such an act or had occasion to except you, in an effort to destroy evidence. Then later, when that ns cleared up by Harris acknowledging that he was the one who got the pin, I told him about your having your own In your hat at Peronds. He only laughed, and said you were smart enough to buy another, as soon as the first was found missing; that doubtless there were plenty to be had. Hes right; there are.

TO TATTOO REMOVE Mfg ., Roasters. Packers and Importers. MARKS AT REDUCED SHIPPERS OF FURNITURE Process Is by No Means Easy, Though Modern Science Has Shown It to Be Practicablo. Tattooing Is the mechanical Introduction of pigments under the skin and a very process. The pigments employed are carbon, cinnabar, carmine and indigo. Most methods employed to remove these marks, says Science and Invention, are by a reactive and a destructive Inflammation which will result in the formation of a crust, later cast off together with tattooed markings. One method Is to retattoo the marks with a solution of SO parts of zinc chlorid and 40 parts of water. A mild inflammation will result; a crust find out, do you forms and about a week later this falls off, leaving a scar which gradually heals. Later a repetition of this may be necessary. rThis may be done by the professional tattooer. The second method Is to tattoo again, making the punctures close together after the design has been drawn over with a concentrated solution of tannin. A stick of silver nitrate is then firmly drawn over the surface and after a period of several minutes it is then wiped off. This is far more effective than the first and less scar forms. Two other substances, perhaps more efficient than' either of the above, and applied in the same manner as the first, are caroid and giyce-rol- e of papoid.

The East Indians and North American Indians believe that feathers endow the wearer with qualities, whether virtues or vices, of the bird from which they are taken; and as the peacock Is vain, arrogant, and greedy, its feathers are supposed to bring bad luck. The Hindus consider It good luck to own a peacock. In the Middle ages, it was customary to serve the peacock at great banquets with much pomp and ceremony. Over his carcass, medieval knights swore one of their most solemn vows, the ladies being witness thereto. The principals do not appear to have known anything of the origin or meaning of the oath by the peacock, and there is no rea--. son, therefore, for believing it to have been traditional and imported. Its incongruous combination with vows to God and the Virgin seems to show that i was a pagan oath, Christianized In outward form by the aspersion of holy words. - Z7 Let CLEANERS & DYERS. Service.

These comprised languishing eyes, with anomalies of the voice and complexion, ears, etc. When a patient presented these symptoms, especially if he or she were a youth, the medical man should suspect a secret love passion. The source of the latter might be found by the reaction which took place on the entrance into the room of the object of the passion. This consisted of a change of color, trembling, palpitating and The astute physician by sweating. placing his hand over the subjects heart could feel Its agitation when the object of love entered the room.
