As he walked along I said: "What sort of fellow is this young Ronsbnwl Where did you pick him up?" "All, that is the most sorrowful part of the whole business," replied Mr. Vin- cent. “His father was my oldest friend, and when he lay dying be confided the boy to me. He shownd grout aptitude for the business, and I guvc him full control of room 15. It is the most important room in the place, and the amount of raw mute- rlol that passes through it daily is enor- uious.” “How much of the dust has been missed altogether?" I naked after it short pause. “Close on 150 ounces.

" No more wns sold until we reached the assaying rooms. Mr. Vincent opened the door and, bidding me follow him, passed rapidly into the room, No. l5, where the robberies had been committed. . A young fellow was bending over a pair of hair sciiles as we entered. “ That is Renshnw,” whispered Mr. Vlu- cent. ”Quite n youngster. us you see.” Rensbnw, becoming swore of my pres- ence, looked up. I am something of n render of physlognomy, and, reading that face, I distrusted it at once. ~ Dissipation bud set its mark on his fon- lures. and his eyes bore a shifty, deceitful light, which gave them it repulsive look. Although I om not given tojmnplug (it wuclusions, I could not help saying to myself. “That is our bird. ” Mr. Vincent won the first to speak. “Relishriw,” he sold in u low voice, “I um indeed grieved that I should hereto speak to you in; l um going to spunk, but there is no ultornutivc.

And in com necilon with sheeting alone there are more superstitions than are generally realised This is n simple but in itself and seem- ingl would givo, very little cause for en- per; itlon. Awarding to u popular deflul. tlon, “sneezing is A‘ natural respiratory movement, interrupted by a strong explm. my short, expelling the air through the nose with more or less noise.” ,Tble notion may be brought on by the lnhulutlmi of dust. pungent vapors or by the simple in- spiration of air when the membrane is dim sum! or in on irritable condition, as in the case of mid. ‘ There is also a spot in the bend the touching of which will cause sneezing in many people. Barbers are aware of this foot, as their gentle munlpu’ lotions ‘uro often greeted with a round of annexes. This is supposed to be caused by the touching of unwell and extremely sen- sitive uervé which runs from the top of the bend to the nostril and is much more sen- sitive with some than with others. Sneezing is now considered as favorable and healthful action and is courted by people who believe in its efficacy by look- ing intently at the sun until the desired notion occurs. Consumptlves lll'e said nev- or to sneeze, and runny nu unfortunate vic- tim of this disease gougeszthe probability of his recovery by this standard. . The old custom of saying, “God bless you!" when n sneeze is heard is of ancient origin and still prevails in oriental coun- tries. In the time of St. Gregory the Greut'nt a certain season the air was filled with on unwholescme vapor, or malaria, which so nfl‘ccted the people that those who sneezed were at once stricken with death ngouies. In this strait the pontiff is said to have devised u form of [mayor to be uttered when the poroxysm was seen to be coming on, and which, it was hoped, would avert the stroke of the death angel. Sneezing is mentioned in works of mythology, and it is said that the first sign , of life given by the cunningly wrought budge of Prometheus was a lusty sneeze. Aristotle, in writing of this subject, says that those who thought the seat of the soul to be in the brain looked upon sneez- ing os“one of thenth sensible and manl- icst operations of the brain." In ancient books we find many refer- ences to this not, as in the Odyssey, whore the sneezing of Toleiuncbus is seceptcd us a pleasing confirmation of the words of his mother just ate time when she is (loneline- ing the riotous gormandizing suitors and praising the vulor of Ulysses: She spoke. Telemiichus then sneezed aloud. Constrained, his nostril echoed through the crowd. The smiling queen the happy omen blessed, “5.) may these lmplous fall. by into op~ pressed!” Great results often grow from small sets, an example of which is seen in the time when the fate of the whole Greek army wus decided by so common and nut- urul an occurrence us the sneeze of a sol— dier. While Xenophon was delivering his famous address to the urmy, urging his 'componions to be firm and bold, and while they were undecided as to whether resist once or retreat were the better [xix-t, a sounding sneeze was heard down the ranks. This omen was at once accepted, tents and oil superfluous uceoutermonts burned, and that retreat, since so famous, wllb all its hardships and dangers, was begun. An old proverb says, "Two or three sneezes be wholesome," and there is n prov~ orb to the oflect that when a patient has sneezed three times he may be discharged from the hospital. Even where sneezing is considered in fu- , vorublo omen the time of any is sometimes thought to determine its good or ill effect, as u sneeze which takes place from noon to midnight is thought to be auspicious, whilonuooccurrlng from midnight. to noon is quite otherwise. Among the runny so. perstltions concerning (lentil we have one in regard to this not; thus. if one snows for three sllwesslve nights, it is oceepted as n token that in death will take place in the family or, if not dciitb, that some oth- er dlre calamity will befall them. . It would certainly be more sensible for lntolllgont people to tells the common sense view of the subject and look upon this sneezing simply as a “sign” that we mo catching cold and as a "warning" to move out of n draft. Yet many will cling to those other “signs" and “warnings" of the superstition; *l’hluilelphls Prone. w .wwmw c..._...—-..-.- Wearing. An my way to practice walking well is to start out right.
