ROMANCE IN REAL LEE.
a STORY ROT IMAGINED. -PLEASANT
MEETING IN TOLEDO AFTER
16 YEARS OF sEPA-
RATION.
CHAPTER I.

1t is the year 1873. A robust child,
with bright eyes and dark, waving
curls, played among the flowers on the
pretty lawn Of beautiful Southern
homestead.
She darted now and then behind a
bush, loaded with deep red roses, and
played "peek a-boo" with gentleman
who sat upon rustic seat, watching,
intensely, the pretty face as it shone,
laughingIy, through the frame work
of roses.
Presently the child gathered clus.
ter Of the flowers, and with her tiny
fingers, weaved a garland and bash
fully entwined it about her compan.
ions neck, whom she seemed to trust
with sweet and chid-like simplicity
The child was the only daughter Of
a wealthy and highly hvuored New
Orleans merchant and was spending
her holidays at the house of an uncle
in Alexandria.
The gentleman whom she bad deck.
ed with roses was also visitor at hel
uncle's home and she had become much
attached to him.

CHAPTER III.

This a vide, wide world, and We
how narrow it is.
In the parlor of the Hotel Hamil
ton, in the city of Toledo, Ohio, U. S
A, the affable wife of the inn keepe,
sat talking with handsome young
woman who had lately arrived on the
eastern train.
She registered as "NIiss Cora Love
joy, New York; She had come to
the city to join an opera company, in
compliance with an engagement made
q year ago.
When the inn-keeper entered the
parior he was introduced to the Young
lady. She started little at the name
and said:
"b'ossat? There's something ia
miliar about that name and your face
reminds me of one / have seen, long,
long ago. Bat l cannot tell where
l think it must have been when / was
mere child, beforeI left this country. y
The landlord assured her that he
was positive Of having seen her face,
but he was at loss to recall where it
had been.
He said he thought it resembled the
face of child whom he once met
while visiting at a southern plauta
ton Child who had interested him
deeply, and with whom be had romp-

CHAPTER II.

The scene is sunny Italy. The child
who played among the roses has
grown into beautiful young woman
hood. She is behind the footlights of
a theater' and before the wealth and
beauty Of fashionable Milan. At the
conclusion of a long course of musical
stables at the celebrated conservatory
she is making her debut in the role Of
Lucia, in "Lammermour," aud the
eyes Of her nervous but expectant
NaiSt'e and the hundreds who had
heard of her abilities are watching her
every motion and are drinking in
the masic which flows from her throat.
Others, who had been charmed with
her stories of American romance writ
ten in Spanish, French and Italian
stories which pictured the happy south
ern homes with their roses and love-
watching carefully this
novice of foreigner who had dared
and succeeded in awakening their in

But the prima donna had almost for

The Progress of Inventions Since
1915.

In the year 1915 the present owners of
the Scientific American newspaper COM
menced its publication, and soon after es-
tablished a bureau for the procuring of
patents for inventions at home aud in for
eign countries. During the year 1915
there were only SOP patents issued from
the U. S. Patent Office, and the total is
sued from the establishment of the Patent
Office, up to the end of that year, num-
bered only 4347.
Up to the first of July this year there
have been granted 406, Alb. Showing that
since the commencement of the publica-
! ton of the Scientific American there have
been issued from the q. S. Patent Office
402, loo patents, and about Oue-third more
applications have been made than have
been granted, showing the ingenuity of
our people to be phenomenal, and much
greater than ever the enormous number
OF patents issued indicates. Probably a
good many OF our readers have had bust
ness TRANSACTED through the offices Of the
Scientific American, in New York or
Washington, and are familiar with Mum
q Co IS mode of doing business, but those
who have not will be interested in know
ing something about this, the oldest pat
ent soliciting firm in this country, proba-
bly, in the world.
Persons visiting the Offices of the Scien-
titic American, 36l Broadway, N. Y, for
the first time will be surprised, on enter
| ing the main Office, to find such an extern
slve and elegantly equipped establish
ment, with its walnut counters, desks,
and chairs to correspond, and it's enor-
nous safes, and such large number OF
draughtsmen, specification writers, and
| clerks, all busy as bees, reminding one of
a large banking or insurance office, with
Its hundred employees.
| In conversation with one of the firm,
who had commenced the business of sole.
itlng patents in connection with the pub
llcatiCn of the Scientific American, more
than forty years ago, learned that his
firm had made application for patents for
upward of ono hundred thousand inven-
tors in tho United States, and several
thousands in different foreign countries,
and had filed as many cases in the Patent
Office III single mouth as there were ma
tents issued during the entire first wear of
their business career. This gentleman
had seen the Patent Office grow from a
sapling to sturdy oak, and lie modestly
limited that many thought the Scientific
American, with its large circulation, had
performed no mean share in stimulating
inventions and advancing the interests Of
the Patent Office. But it is not alone the
patent soliciting that occupies the atten-
ton Of the one hundred persons employed
by Mum & Co., but large number are
engaged on the four publications issued
weekly and monthly from their office, 1851
Broadway, N. Y, viz: The Scientific
American, the Scientific American Sup.
PIGMENT, the Export Edition of the Scien.
1iic American, and the Architects and
Builders Edition of the Sciontiic Ameri-
can. The first two publications are is
sued every week, and the latter two, the
first of every month.
