Finel was at work at the shops some
"a years ago piece of steel flew into
the eye and ruined the sight. The
other eye was all right, however, and
no further Inconvenience was felt until
about three years ago when infamma-

eye were removed. This has been sue

played an overture. when the curtain
was raised and one act comedy was
enacted. After this the audience was
favored with vocal numbers by Miss
Mile Thomas, Billy Mack, Miss
Fanny May and Others. Miss Thomas
has remarkably sweet and clear voice

productions were witty and catchy
and convulsed the audience with
laughter. The entertainment ended
with one act tragedy entitled Bur

much favored and cannot be given

CHAPTER XXI.
THE RETURN HOME.

Thus have pieced together the narrative
which my cousin retailed to me In little
episodes, lingering, as women will, on details
which seemed trivial In themselves, but
which, when carefully criticised, were full
of significant meaning. Lost In astODslr
ment and indignation, heard till the end
when the whole of George Redruth's vlllalny
was apparent
My experience of the world was, as the
reader knows, most rudimentary; knew
next to nothing of its viler passions, still less
OF its great crimes. That auy human being
calling himself a man could be capable Of
cold-bIOoded treachery to a woman whom he
promised to love was almost incredible to
me; had heard of such things, but they had
appeared to me always In the nature Of TO
nance. But if was aghast at the record Of
George Redruth's evil doing was no less
amazed at Annie's extraordinary patience
under wrongs so monstrous. The man had
deserved no mercy.

There is in Sumter county, Ga, a
certain pond or swamp of 100 acres or
more. The water is very shallow, and
grass grows luxuriantly in it. Here
horses and cattle love to feed and ducks
congregate in great numbers. They do
not fear the horses and cattle, but are
very shy when a man is around. Jim
Murray thought that by hitching his
horse to flat-bottomed boat he could
drive all over the swamp and kill no end
of ducks. The plan worked well at first
The horse drew the boat easily, but when
at the right time Jim said whoa" and
jumped up to fire at the ducks, there was
hitch in the programme. The horse
stopped, but the boat didn't. 1t quietly
toated on and banged against the horses
hind legs. The horse jumped, and at
that Jim took header backward into
the water, his gun going about twenty
feet beyond him. Just where the gun
went is not certain. 1t has not been seen
since. The horse and the boat kept right
on. When the horse wanted to stop, the
boat hit his legs and urged him forward
When the boat wanted to stop the horse
didn't know it. Finally boat and horse
got thoroughly tangled up, and the latter
went down. Then Jim's brother Tom,
who had been watching the show from
the solid land, waded in and cut the
horse loose, and at the same time Jim
waded out The boat was not hurt in the
least.

Weaving Glass Cloth.

Woven glass is made in Pittsburgh, of
the finest texture.
The first processes of making woven
glass are the same as making any kind of
colored work. The ingredients, sand,
coloring, ETC., are mixed together and
placed in the furnace to melt. When the
mass has about becomed fused INTO a
molten substance, the furnace is opened
and some OF it is taken out by two work.
men, who stretch it out in the factory
until it looks like red hot rope from
one-half to three-fourths of an inch in di-
ameter. These ropes are allowed to cool,
and then are taken into the spinning
room. In the center of this room is an
immense wheel of wood, eight and a half
feet in diameter, The periphery is foot
wild e, as smooth as the glass itself. At
one side of the wheel is blow pipe, so
arranged that the blow is at right angles
with the wheel, and blowing hot air.
The bar of glass, as it comes into the
room, is given to an operator, who holds
it in this blow. pipe, and it melts. An
other workman takes pair Of pincers
and draws thread Of glass from the
melting bar, and this he winds about the
wheel, when the steam is turned on and
the machinery begins to revolve. The big
wheel makes 300 revolutions minute and
draws thread of glass from the melting
bar continually.
At first the thread is thick, but it be-
comes more and more fine until the finest
silk is no more fragile or gossamer-like.
AS it becomes fine it loses its brittleness
and becomes more elastic and pliable, and
gains in tensile strength also. When a
sufficiently large coil of thread has been
made, it is taken from the wheel and
bound up in skeins, and then the mate.
rial is taken to the weaving machine
This is exactly like silk weaving ma
chine, and the cloth comes out in beauti-
ful texture and color.
The finer threads of glass unite as do
threads of silk, and the fabric when
done may be of any color. Combinations
of color can be used and changeable
goods are more easily manufactured than
in silk A state robe made for Hindoo
prince of this material was of gold, silver,
clear and irridescent glass, and when
done 1t was like mass of minute pre-
cious stones, more marvelously beautiful
than anything ever seen by me before.
