m&mmmmmm p ii i n vl I 7 "A carriage waits," he said. "You will reach Italy by 5 in the morning. Here is your money. No thanks. I have done my duty. Childe set his foot on the step of the carriage, which started off. He stumbled, fell, and felt himself clutch ing at the earth. Someone was lifting him. He opened his eyes to find himself still in the palm gardens. Dawn was in the sky. Beside him stood two gen darmes. "Monsier has had an accident?" they inquired, not very sympathet ically, glancing at his clothes. Childe rose and shook himself. He plunged his hand into his pocket. He brought out fifty francs, all he had in the world. "Why I must have gone to sleep in the gardens," he muttered, turning away. He walked rapidly into the town. At the head of the wharf, where the steamship office stood, he paused and thought "I'm mighty glad I saved this to get home instead of plunging at the casino," he said cheerfully. (Copyright by W. G.

Kill or drive out any flies which may find their way into the house. Show them no mercy. Look carefully after cuspidors. This to apply to hotels, railroad sta tions, stores and other places where many people congregate. Use lime and disinfectants where there is any decayed stuff, manure, ashpiles and filth. Disinfectants are cheap. If your neighbors are careless in these particulars, call their attention to it, or notify the city health author ities. You and your family are vital ly concerned in this. If there are sluggish streams or ! ponds near you, you must keep a double watch, for the flies breed fast in such localities. Never drink milk, coffee or water into which a fly has fallen. It is cheaper to throw aawy a whole plate of butter in which a fly has fallen than try to cut out the por tion nearest the spot. o o A FASHION NOVELTY IS BETTY BROWN'S SEPARATE COAT .
