THE Irish are said TO be settling in
large numbers in the Argentine Repub-
lie, and it is not unlikely that many
Americans will be attracted there. The
climate is temperate, the soil fertile, and
the people are pacific, while the govern
ment is liberal to immigrants and offers
tracts of land upon the easiest terms.
The Argentine Republic is looming up
as great country, and in the near fu-
ture it will be to South America what
the United States is to North America.

there was look in his beautih,r s.s.aat
eyes sometimes that made sentimental
women, when they caught it, which was
not often, say he had "a story"
And SO he had, but the book wherein
it was written down was closed and put
away ten years ago, before he became
famous before he came to Morlicamp
Mansions. One or two old friends, such
as Tom Teesdale and his wife, knew the
story, and willingly would they have
written the chapter, which was still I'M
told, in their own way. But the doctor
stoutly declared that it would never be
written while he lived-and what could
the kindest friend do OF say but Just lis
ten to him and submit?
When the story began, as stories so
often do, with tender and even roman
tic love passage, Marmaduke Gray had
not reached the professors chair which
he now so ably filled, but it was well
known that honors and distinctions were
before him. Indeed, for his age he was
one of the most gifted among many able
aR 5 yoa coadf g gefh It'll s%nv
from his microscope and his specimens,
wet and ry-living and dead. He was
Just on the point of perfecting the de-
auctions made from the discoveries that
followed the patient labor Of years chow
his fine eyes sparkled and how the words
poured from his eloquent lips as he
talked of his workD, when the flat above
his own was let, and every nerve quivered
when he heard q piano-tuner at work in
the room ovAr ass skv.ly.
For days ana DAYS, before the pro-
fessor spoke of his grievance, the Tees
dales knew that something had gone
wrong.
Then it all came out bit by bit, and it
had to do with the tenant on the third
floor
.'She plays the piano from morning
till night" he said, one evening as he
walked up and down Mrs. Teesdale's
drawing-room. Il was then about 5
O'Clock.
"But with a padded ceiling surely the
sound is muffled?"
'Intensifed, you mean The padding.
is fraud Why did she take that
tlat?" and the professors long slender
fingers routed up his hair. 1t was crop
ped close, SO he could not do much
harm.

LAST year WIZ moro prolific Of Alpine
disasters than ,ny season since the Alps
became the playground Of Europe. In
some cases it was the fault Of incompo-
tent guides. but usually foolhardy and
inexperienccG tourists, who rushed in
where old stagers would hesitate to-
tread, were themselves to blame for the
disasters that overwhelmed them. The
precautions just taken by the authorities
in Tyrol and Vorarlbcrg to prevent tour
lists from plunging over precipices Will
be unpopular with many climbers,
though they are likely TO reduce the
death list. No climbs can be taken,
even with experienced guides, unless the
paths are previously declared free from
danger by Government inspectors; and
only such paths can be used as are re-
ported to be perfectly safe Without the
aid Of guide. These rigid restrictions
are calculated to vex the soul Of Q vete-
ran climber, who will thank his stars
that they were not adopted before the
Matterhorn and a dozen other f0rmida-
blepeaks had been scaled.

A 1"o, no SPohe itSiilu. 'IA O
SEND you my new Address when l ME- Y {
he SAID. l know it will come to TIL" |,
There was work waiting for limlwhenS
| he got home, but he was not in5hemood
for work. He opened some letters which
had come for him by the last post; gush-
ing eplstles, some of them from women
who followed the fashion in running
after the cleverest and most attractive
man OF his day. Strange to say, these
letters did not make him angry. Cen
tleness and toleratoion for woman seemed
to increase and multiply in him as his
fame grew; but not one of the many
fair ones who burnt incense before him
could flatter herself that he was falling
III love. He was charming in every
mood, and nearly always pleasant Of
| speech. Now and then came crushing
rebuke or whitening sarcasm, but I'M
medlately after followed the old sweet,
pleasant smile that each woman tried
hard to win for herself. Whether in
good temper OF bad, DIR. Gray was fas-
cinating.
He was not very amiabe, however,
this evening, for he was vexed at his
inability to work. Events in his life
which he had told himself were dead
and buried camc crowding themselves
upon his we'll ordered brain. Memory
played him fantastic tricks. Imagina-
ton, more capricious than memory,
filled his study with the sweetest, bright
est pictures, and made his heart beat as
1T had beaten ten years before when
He took up books one after another
and flung them here and there about the
room; for, just as the mental picture
was fairest and most adorable-iust as in
imagination he felt two soft arms round
his neck and saw two sweet eyes looking
into his own, some one stirred in the
room overhead, and Immediately one of
Chopin S wild waltzes filled the air about
him. The visions conjured up by men,
DRY and fancy fled, and the professor,
with an indescribable expression on his
face, leaned his elbows on the table and
propped up his head with q check on
either hand.
Five minutes-ten, passed thus; then
he got up quietly and looked at his
watch. 1t was nearly half-past 10. cit
israther late to call on strange woman, /"
he said; "but 1 have no time by day,
and if this goes on shall go mad. Why
in the name of all that's distracting
must she play that music!"
He picked up the books that he had
flung about; touched some articles upon
his study table without knowing that he
did so, then went to the door, opened it,
and stood for second on two irresolnte,
with the sound of Mrs. Vernon's piano
still in his ears. The next moment he
was out on the public staircase and had

ALTHOUGH tho French people have
apparently lost $250,000,O00 in the
Panama canal, they have not lost con-
fidence in DeLesseps. They still love
the grand old man, and lay all the blame
on the government for not helping the
enterprise. 1t is possible that an ad-
ditional $200,000,000 would complete
the canal, but such large sum of money
will not be raised in France unless some
unlocked for event occurs: An effort on
the part Of England or this country to
absorb the canal would, III the opinion
of the Atlanta Constitution, probably
stir up the French and cause them tog
to work in q hurry to carry out their
great scheme. But at present the big

The fact is published that McDerrnot.

The fact is published that McDermot,

regular suit of armor made to wear
while on duty. The body is to be of
metal and there is to be metal helmet.
while the body and legs are to be still
further protected by padding. This is
