There home deepest were the last: “I am broken-hearted, and long greatly for death. You know all, and I implore you to tell me the exact truth. Come quickly to me, please. I am frantic with despair. Yours sincerely, Hilda Eliingham.” % “By Jove! Won't I lie to her with a vengeance?” exclaimed Guy. “‘Brok- en-hearted and longing greatly for death.’ Poor girl.” It happened that a horse was ready saddled, and five minutes later Guy was galloping at full speed down the long carriage drive.

But promise that you will never, never kiss me again.” “Yes, I promise,” he said, in a voice that was hard to keep steady, hard to control. “It shall never happen again,” he said, as his glistening eyes rested yearningly on her sweet face. “You have taken a great load of sor- row from my shoulders. But I never believed that my husband could be so wicked as to injure a fellow creature. Thank you so. very, very much for com- ing to see me so quickly.” She spoke with a wealth of womanly tenderness. “I feel now quite certain that his inno- cence will be proved.” Those thanks were earned at a ter- rible cost, Guy told himself, as deadly heartsick he moved away and sat down. ; : He had lied to some purpose this time. Already Hilda’s face was less pitiably sad, less pitiably unhappy. There was hope in it now—before there was none. Of a certaintv he had lied to some purpose, sold himself and all hope of salvation for the reward of seeing her look happy again. “It’s worth it, though, for her sake,” he said to himself, regarding her with loving eyes. His trembling hands were interlac- ed, his quivering lips wére hard to manage. In front of her, just as if she were not his world, he sat trying to an- swer all her questions composedly. Would he try to arrange for the police- man not to remain gn the sick room? Would he go to the nearest magistrate and try to arrange for the unfounded accusation to be withdrawn once and forever? He could swear that her husband was with him on the night of the tragedy. It would be so easy for him to put everything right. “Yes, quite easy,” he concurred, me- fhanically. “And how is Ellingham to-day?” he added, after a pause. “Worse? Could it be otherwise? The shock was so great, to see this strange man walk into the room. I told him it was all right, but he would not believe me and began to rave and ask for firearms. I am afraid that his chances of recovery are very small now. But as Dr. Bennett said half an hour ago, ‘So long as there is life there is hope.” “Yes, of course.” “But how terribly all might have ended if you had not been with my husband that night.” “Yes,” ’agreed Guy, while thinking of his ill luck at being there. “You will do everything possible in the matter, I know,” she said, rising. “Now I must go back to the sick room. You don’t know how different I feel to what I did when I left it.” “T can imagine it.” “Good-bye!” “Good-bye!” He seized her hand al- mest greedily as he said it. ¥ Why should all her love and sweet- ness be forever Ellingham’s?” It was hideously cruel of. Fate. But Fate is often very cruel. If only Ellingham had been worthy of that love and sweetness! But his unworthiness was no reason that Hilda’s heart should be broken, her sweet face branded with unspeakable sadness, her joys in life quenched forever. As he drove home he forced his mind to center itself exclusively on Hilda. Qnce within his own walls, he walked slowly and thoughtfully into the li- brary. . “Tf any one calls to see me, say I am much engaged this morning,” were his instructions to the footman. (To Be Continued.) A Quick Recovery . P. F. Rothermel, counsel for the Lake Superior corporation, as the re- vrganized Consolidated Lake Superior is called, was complimented the other Flushed with feverish excitement day on the excellent year that the con- cern has had. Mr. Rothermel smiled and answer- “Yes, the company has gotten quick- ly on its feet. It has recovered quick- ly. It was not badly hurt ,after all. And in this it resembles a widow of whom I heard recently. “This lady’s husband died, and, a day or two after the funeral a neigh- bor called to extend her condolences. “She expected to find the widow frantic with grief. She found her at the piano, singing a gay song, and, astonished at so quick a recovery, the visitor said: “Well, well, I expected to see you in the deepest distress.’ “*Ah,’ said the widow, pathetically. ‘you should have seen me yesterday.’ ” Try These in Your Chafing Dish.

Of 400 crystalline substances examined by him 121 were found to emit light, the alkaloids as a class being particularly active. but only six out of 110 inorganic bodies showed the phenomenon. The colors of the light’ varied with the different substances and its intensity could be classified according to an arbitrary scale in which uranium nitrate was taken as typical of the first class, tar- taric acid of the second, and ammoni- um oxalate of the third. The minute crystalline octahedra that may be formed by the ordinary white arsenic of commerce by dissolving it in boil- ing hydrochloric acid, when cooled aad shaken in the dark emit a succes- sion of brilliant flashes. The property is by no means fugitive, and the dry crystals will yield sparks months af- terward if rubbed with a glass rod. ‘| And, contrary to text books, the light is emitted just as readily from the crystals will yield sparks months af- from those of the vitreous modifica- tion. This light has a continuous spectrum in the visible part of which the yellow and green rays predomi- nate, though red rays are also present. It is apparently identical with the light emitted by solid bodies in a state of incandescence. Adjust the Shears. An Ohio inventor has patented a tension device which can be attached te scissors or shears, whereby the cut- ting edges of the blades are held firm- ly against each other to insure at all times an even and uniform cutting. it is well known that the blades of scissors or shears must always be bept firmly together. When they be- come separated they will not cut even- ly, and when such is the case their value fs nil. The device shown here is so constructed that the tension of Tightens the Blades. the blades can be regulated and ad- justed to insure a perfect cut. A piv- otal screw connects the upper with the lower blade, the opening in the up- per blade not being threaded as is the case in other scissors, but is slightly larger than the body of the pivotal serew, in order to permit the. free passage of the latter. A curved plate Lears upon the upper blade at one end and rests upon the pivotal screw at the other. When it is desired to increase the tension of the scissors a set serew on the curved plate is turned down, forcing the plate against the under side of the head of the piv. otal screw. This forces the edges of the blades together, the tension being regulated to suit the uses of the oper- ator. Aluminium Paper Keeps Food. Instead of tin foil Germany begins to use aluminium paper. It is not the so-called leaf aluminium, but real pa- per coated with powdered aluminium, and is said to possess favorable quali- ties for preserving articles of food for which it is used as a covering. Chemical analysis proves that this pa- per contains but few foreign sub- stances and never any arsenic or oth- er poisonous metals. A sort of arti- ficial parchment is obtained through the action of sulphuric acid upon or- dinary paper. The sheets are spread out and covered upon one side with a thin coating of a solution of resin in alcohol or ether. Evaporation is precipitated through a current of air and the paper is then warmed until the resin has again become soft. Then powdered aluminium is sprinkled upon it and the paper subjected to strong pressure to fasten the powder thereon. The metallic covering thus obtained is not affected by the air nor by fatty materials. The aluminium paper is far cheaper than tin foil. Electrified Vegetables’ Growth.

Moving a House. I would like to move my house, and } it wil have to be done by local car- penters. Would you give information how best to proceed and how much it would cost. The main building is 28x22, one and a halt story, all sealed with plaster. A wing 16x16 is to be detached and the two moved separate- ly. The distance for moving is about three-quarters of a mile. The services of an expert should be obtained, as rollers will require to be used. A house could not be moved three-quarters of a mile without them. The charge is about $5 per day for one man and the rollers. Besides this it would require eight men for four days. With proper handling there would be little injury to the building. Hog Killing Not Appreciated. Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace, in his recently published memoirs, tells how, while in the United States he was taken to see an unnamed “pork-curing establishment, where, during the sea- son, they kill 1,000 hogs a day.” “The animals,” he writes, “walk up an in- clined pathway of their own accord, in a continuous procession and at the top are caught up one after another bya chain round their hind iegs and swung on to the men who Kill, scald, gerape and cut them up; all the separ- ate parts going through the several stages of cleaning and curing till the result is bacon, bam barrels of pork, black puddings, sausages, bristles. The ingenuity of the whole process is undeniable; but to go through it all along narrow planks and ladders slip- pery with blood and water and in the warm, close, reeking atmosphere was utterly disgusting. My friend was, however, quite amazed at my feeling anything but admiration for the whole establishment, which was considered one of the sights and glories of the city!” Stoves for China. The British consul at Niuchwang writes that the Chinese are beginning to take to foreign stoves fér heating their houses and that their use is like- ly to extend, in which case there might be ‘a big market for these goods, as the winter in Manchuria is lohg and very cold. For the past year or two a native has been making small stoves of a foreign pattern, weighing about fifty and seventy pounds and costing $5 and $7, respectively. * It is reported that the annual sales of this local manufacturer amounted to about $1,000. This year the demand has greatly increased, owing partly to the needs of the large number of Japanese who have come in, and the native manufacturer recently had in hand or- ders amounting to $5,000 and was obliged to refuse many orders. which he could not execute. Thé material used is old iron from abroad. Durability of Posts. Posts decay where there is a com- bination of air and water. In taking up fence’ posts, it may be noted that they have decayed most at the sur- face of the ground. The alternate soaking and drying has been the cause. Posts set in water will last in- definitely; so will posts kept dry; but when set in a loose, open soil fre- quently moistened, they will decay rapidly. Hence, speaking theoretically, it is not to be expected that posts will last as long in loose, open soil in the humid regions as if set in a heavy clay soil under the same amount of rainfall, It is usually a mistake to put a green post in the soil. and a half story house, 16 feet by 22) The | FOR $1.00 IF SENT AT ONCE, to Yourself — Constipation, Bowel and Stomach Troublés Grow More Dangerous Daily.
