Lighting a Pipe With Ice.
From the 50. Louis Republic.

Last winter. there has not been enough
ice this winter for any such experiment
quite little excitement Was caused among
a party of skaters on the Serpentine river,
England, by one of tie party making a
lens of ice, and lighting the pipes of the
others. This reminds the writer that this
curious experiment was frs brought before
the public by DIR. ScoresbY, who, when in
the polar regions, to the great astonisnment
Of his companions, who did not understand
why the leo did not freeze the solar rays,

that although ice absorbS rays Of certain

CHAPTER VI.

While George Eastwood was spending the
balmy hours of that fine May afternoon at
his uncles house in WEXFORD, a certain
girl, OF whom ne thought more often than
he spoke, was sewing feverishly in a little
back room of gaunt old house in Lon
don slum.
Jess Armstrong; beauty hqd as
last few weeks. The subtle sweet
ness of her eyes and lips was more
pronounced than ever. There was a faint
bloom on her delicate cheeks and their
outline was a little less spare than it used
TO be. Her hair, instead of being twisted
into On untidy knot, ill-brushed, and i'll
fastened, was arranged with some attempt
at elaborate dressing, around her shapely
head. And her gown, although coarse and
badly fitting, was heater and cleaner than
it had been in former days, and was fast
ened by pretty little silver brooch at the
collar. Jess was improved, and the youth
of Baldwins court and Mill street had be-
gun to find out the fact There we're no
more jeers at her "carroty hair" since a
gentleman had been found TO admire 1t and
to pay her for painting it, details of which
Mrs Flint was won't 10 boast in her less
sober moments-Jess' market value, 80 to
peak, having gone up. A daugh-
ter or grand daughter with
bright red hair was now
looked at spsculatively by calculating rela-
tives, for il jess Armstrong; locks COM
mauded money, why also should not the
locks Of other people! Some mothers went
50 far as to seek out Eastwood's studio and
offer him their offspring as models, but they
received 50 little encouragement for their
pains that they soon discontinued their at
tempts.
1t was the new element in Jess life that
had caused her to change her daily work.
Hitherto she had been fairly content to
trudge after her grandmother In the street,
carry the heavy basket Of cheap flowers
from corner to corner, ask the passers-bY to
''buy posy," and guard the flowers while
her grandmother refreshed herself at the
nearest public house. 1t was she, also, who
used to get uD at o'clock in the morning
and go on weary tramp to Covent Garden
| market for the days provision of flowers,
| and il was she upon whom the somewhat
UNPLEASANT duty devolved of fetching home
| tue venerable Mrs, Flint in q state Of par
| tiaI or complete intoxication at IL o'clock at
night. Small wonder, therefore, that Jess
face used to look too long and white, with
hollows of purple shadow about the eyes, q
| listless droop of the curved lips, and a
| gradual sinking in of the cheek-hne, when
seen in profile, which betokened hunger
| and WEAKNESS.
But since Jess had been TO Mr.. Eastwoods
studio a good deal of all this had been
/ changed.
He had questioned her from time to time
about her habits, and had been first shocked
and then angry to find what was the gen.
eral course of her life He had insisted
vehemently that she should no longer go to
| Convent Garden, or trudgs the wet streets
| with her grandmother; and when she OBJ
