"How are artificial eyes mader the re-
porter inquired Of local optlcian.
"They are first blown into the shape OF q
bottle. They look like miniature whisky
flask. The operative separates the struc-
ture, and, after blowing in the center col
ors, the veins, and adding the shade tothe
hall, the edges on the inside are finished
of, and the eye, which is nearly always Of
an original shape, is packed away, perhaps
never TO be worn. 1t may lie around store
for hundred years before a customer is
found whom II will 1T or suit Ia every res
pect. Very few are made OF the same
pattern, because there is no rule Of size,
style, color, taste or finish to follow.
Most Of the eyes are made In Germany and
France. The best are made there, but a
good eye is now being made In this coun-
try.n
"IIow long do they last the wearerY"
Some people use dozen while Others
make one answer. II depends largely on
the condition Of the socket in which ii is
worn. The liquid discharged from some
mems eyes is of such destroying character
that II will eat into the glass In few
months, and so completely destroy the
smooth surface of the bowl as TO make
the eye unbeNrable. Some men wear an eye
for five years, but such instances are rare.
"A lady came into my store the other

that was to cover the perfect eye, but moth

but assumed an Indifferent look. She
thought the glass was splendid; read an
extract In newspaper and ordered the
glasscs. Now, you see, made the price
considerably less. | told her they were
worth $l2, but to her they would be
cheaper. She returned next day, got her
glasses and departed. The false eye was

FABLE THE FOURTH.

Across wide, sloping plain, almost
desert-like in its wide expanse, and
under a blazing sky, Dick Blackthorn
was riding alone on Wednesday, July
26, 1909. How he had got there would
probably have puzzled himself to tell.
But he did know that the country was
called Spain, and that the shabby uni
form he wore was no longer that of
King George. but of His Highness Joao
Maria, Regent of Portugal and Prince
of Brazil That a horse had to do with
the matter was certain, for one was
even now carrying him. That woman
had to do with il. was not unlikely.
But. however that may be, here he was,
adding yet another experience to his
varied biography. Nor was it, to-day,
of the most agreeable kind. For he
was toraglng in country which, so far
as eatables went, had been shaved, be-
tween Frenchmen and Spaniards, much
cleaner than the palm of his hand.
Far away to the right ran an unbroken
chain of high and rugged mountains;
to the left, river, which served also as
a guide. Never was water more vel

cruel to horse and man. He had rid
den out from the little town of Esca-
Iona, higher up the river, with an empty
stomach, and seemed likely to return
to it with that and empty hands besides.
Dick Blackthorn had never been much
given to thinking, so there is little to be
gained by opening his mind. If roH-

Now the reader has seen at once that
this was no woman's letter. For it was
not in her style, and had no postscript
nor any of the stabs that spite feminine
knows how to triumph by. 1t was as
stupid as a bludgeon. Moreover, why
should any exception be made of forty
year-old honesty? And, indeed, there
were as many points as words fit for
critical eye. But Patience Blackthorn
knew nothing of spite or cowardice, or,
at least, of their niceness whatever the
foibles of her father Tom or of her broth
er Dick, these We're not of them; and
she had no girl friend. But, on the
other hand, she knew the letter to be
shameful lie. Why it should be written,
who should write it, she could not
guess; but lie she knew it to be. Her
emotion had not been dismay, but anger
and scorn.
Young men did get into trouble.
She could not be Dick Blackthorn's
sister without knowing so much of the
world. 1t was bitter to think that
Stephen, though it was before he loved
her, could have given some other wom-
an, and one of such sort, handle for

''Blackthorn?" asked the other.
''You'd better see the Quartermaster,
as you We come off the same stick, you
two. But chat be hanged! Put your
hand in the pot and take the luck Of it.
There'll be enough for breakfast; and
then come what come may"
And there was bottle as well as q
pot, which somehow seemed to have no
bottom. Dick never forgot for an in
stant the eyes of his Countess; but man
and pot and bottle had become too rare
to be passed by. And, as he ate and
drank, his humor thawed, and his fell
low countrymen began to forget that
he was a Portuguese. There was a
dash OF the gentleman about Dick that
made him good comrade; and by the
time he had finished his meal he had
more slaps on the back than he knew
how to reckon. And when he had sung
a song. with "Yoicks, Tally-ho"
chorus, he was one of .'Ours"
Then the talk went round, about
where such regiment was posted, and
about life on the march, all starving
and no fighting. and about the thou
grievances of which .
life is made up, and one thing
and another, till Dick, though now feel
ing game for night of It, rose, and
declared, despite all protests, that he
must rennrt himself within his own

The coin was not made BY mortal
mint against which, when twirled by
Dick Blackthorn's thumb, woman
would not have won. But he had done
his best And. having done his best,
he threw all doubts away. and gave
himself up to the hour, only wishing
that his Portuguese uniform were not
quite so threadbare and stained. Why
mad he not a pair of epaulettes? He
vowed to win them before they had rid

one champions a beautiful Spanish
Countess, heroine of romance besides,
through the perils of war in an un-
known land. She was gracious to him,
as, indeed, she had every cause to be.

there is no need to count all the stones
of a castle in Spain.
But it is one quality of these castles
to have neither kitchen nor bedcham-
ber; and Dick Blackthorn frequently
began to wonder where these apart
ments were to be found before morn
ing. Moreover, horses can not last for
ever, and his was well-nigh foundered.
But there was NO sign of laundering
about Countess or mare, though they,
on her own showing, must have ridden
thrice as far that day as he. Nor did
she hint at hunger, or thirst, or any,
thing of that common kind. She was
