When prominent men realize the In Jurloua effects of coffee and the change .In health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony foi the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools In North Carolina says: "My mother since her early childhood, was an Inveterate coffee drinker and had been troubled with bcr heart for a number of years, and complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making an official visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I no tlced a somewhat peculiar flavor of the coffee, and asked him concerning It He replied that It wasPoBtum. "I was so pleased with it, that after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had vlfe rrepnro some for the next meal. The whole family liked It so well, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had renlly been at times very anx lous concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Pontura for a short time, nlie felt so much better than she did prior to Its use, and' hud little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach: that tin headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until aim was us well and hearty as the rest of us.

"She is a treasure. To think of cooking and serving that dinner all herself! What does It matter to such a genius if she has a dozen worthless sons?" "What Indeed ?"I acquiesced, yawning, and proposed bed, but the others objected, saying that It was not late and they were very wide awake. "Let's have a prowl," suggested Gabrielle, who loved to wander about the cottage and look at the ocean from all points of the compass the last thing before retiring, as though she expected It to vanish during the night and must make the most of her time. "Not In thin slippers," I protested, "and good clothes." "There Is no grass up here," she replied, "and we can hold up our skirts. Do come, Elizabeth, Just for a little while." I was sorry I had not gone also as soon as they turned the corner, and, picking up my long skirt carefully, started In pursuit. I Baw, however, that they were deep in one of the heart to heart conversations In which they sometimes Indulged, and decided not to Interrupt them, but to wait until they came back to earth and remembered my existence. So, after a moment's hesitation, I sat down on the steps leading to the slip, knowing they would certainly visit It before they went In, as It was Gabrlelle's fawhen vorite view. Even there was no moon and the outlook was therefore limited, I waa sure she would not desert it. Resting my chin in my band, I reviewed the evening, which, from my own private and particular standpoint, had been a failure. Elizabeth bad mentioned Lord Wilfrid's reserved manner, but to me he had seemed distinctly sulky, and I had more than once seen his sister look at him and at last with an Indignant sparkle lu her brown eyes, after which he roused himself and conversed lu a perfunctory manner with his nelnlibor who happened to be my unfortunate self. Now, I had fully Intended to Impress C.idnn Bennett with the fact that he was still under the ban of my displeasure, and In the privacy of my own room had rehearsed a dignified bearing and certain imaginary speeches I thought would be very effective. It was therefore somewhat disconcerting to be politely Ignored by the gentleman In question, who, beyond a civil bow and smile, bad appeared unaware of my existence and had devoted himself exclusively to Elizabeth, who looked especially pretty 1b her pal tn my ears and my progress sadly hampered by the long trailing skirt over which I tripped and stumbled, and which, I will remark in passing, . wag Irrevocably ruined. . I do not know why I ran, nor why I stopped up my ears, since I had not heard a word of any kind, and was certainty in no personal danger; but I rushed wildly on and finally cast myself breathless upon my bed, my pulses throbbing painfully and my whole being quivering with a sense of shame. For I had so nearly loved him. I knew it now, even as I knew his Had he not lied to me that afternoon? Lied about so simple a matter that I should then have understood he had something to conof which to be cealsomething ashamed. And now he was trying to force an entrance to the boathouse. But why? Was he a common thief? "Oh. no," I cried, aloud; "no, not HOW THEY LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Troubles of People on Venus.

By the time coffee arrived I decided he was hopelessly lost, and felt a sincere sym pathy for him, for tn the lace of her bodice gleamed the little gold key, and I knew It locked all men but one out of her heart. I felt very sorry for them both, In the light of my recently acquired in formation. There were shadows be neath her eyes, and a repressed restlessness of manner which I attributed to overtaxed nerves, for I knew she felt It Incumbent upon her to make a special effort to bo agreeable, since the dinner was given in her honor. Perhaps, I reflected, the anniversary brought with it painful memories of other days, and for her sake as well as my own, I wished it were over. Well, it was over, and our guests had been gone for an hour, though it was now but 11 o'clock. I imagined Gordon Bennett and his friend arriving at their island and discussing us over their cigars, with doubtless a cooling and stimulating beverage to refresh them after their exertions, and I would have liked to hear what they said. Gabrielle often remarks that she never hears Ice clink In a glass and smells a good cigar that she does not wish she were a man, and secretly I sympathize with her, although I always make a point of disagreeing in a slightly superior manner, as though such things were beneath contempt. I was thinking of this now in a dreamy, way, when I suddenly became aware that I actually smelled a cigar and a very good one. Moreover, the odor came from be-- V ever-recurrin- g On of Them Knelt Before the Door, Evidently Trying to Unlock It neath, and as the steps led directly to the slip the conclusion was forced upon me that some one was down there. Curiously enough, I was not frightened, but decidedly Indignant. Some one was taking a great liberty with private property, I thought, and I wished I were brave enough . to go down and order him or them away, forthwith. There was, as I said, no moon, and I could not positively dlstingultth anything as I peered down into the darkness, but thought I saw a point of light like the end of a cigar, and certainly beard a subdued murmur of voices. In another instant the slip and everything upon it stood out against the darkness with the clearness and accuracy of a picture thrown upon a screen, its every detail distinct and visible. After an incredulous moment, I understood, for I recognized the broad beam of white light which fell across the water with dazzling brilliancy, Our friend the searchlight hud paid us many visits since that first night upon the slip, and we had come to regard it with an amused tolerance, and to watch for It, especially on dark nights or In bad weather. We seldom watched In vain, for It was a persistent and light and explored the Island, or at least our end of it, with painstaking thoroughness and regularity. So I sat In the sheltering darkness on the top of the steps and looked down upon the Illuminated slip, while my heart thumped audibly and I wished most ardently I had never venI tured out. For there were two men upon It and an unllghted steam launch waited beside It One of them knelt before the door of the boathouse, evidently trying to unlock It, while the other watched with Interest, and finally produced a bunch of keys from his own pocket and selected one as ho handed them to his companion, with apparent directions how to apply It And I saw plainly that the man who supplied the keys was Gordon Bennett who, with his friend Mr. Blake, was trying to force an entrance Into our boathouxe.

About the mouths of the streams on which salmon camps are situated the Indian dogs and children amuse themselves catching the fish. Some of the youngsters are so small that after they have succeeded In cornering a fish the combined efforts of the party are often required to dispatch It and carry it to camp. I have watched dogs running about In a rift snapping at the salmon and apparently having the time of their lives. One of the most amusing sights that I saw during my stay in Alaska was two Indian boys being towed about the harbor at Kadiak by a huge hail-bu- t they had just hooked. Utterly unable to land the fish, they had fastened the line to the stern of the boat and while they pulled with all their might each one at an oar, they rallied each other for not exerting more strength and shouted loudly for help. Finally an Indian put out in a boat and the fish was landed. Forest and Stream. Pleasant for Archibald. "Mamma, may I please go barefooted like the other little boys?
