me-would not go out-refused even TO see
MS IrlendS; otherwise he was quite kind

air. Once | asked him, timidly: You are

the subject, for | felt how much | was to
Diane, and that he had right to be vexed
WIN me- Nevertheless. by dint Of caresses
ana endearments, l cajoled him into
returning to his studio and trying
TO finish his statue-how do they
say ltt out OF his head,
from imagination, in snort, by mammals
process. 10 me this seemed quite feasible;
but 1t gave the poor fellow endless trouble.
Every evening be came in with irritated
nerves and more and more discouraged, al
most i'll, indeed. To cheer him up 1 used
often to go and see him. | always said:

made no progress whatever. [ don't even

van, or perhaps rolling up pellets of clay,

wall
One afternoon, when l was gazing at the
unfortunate Roman lady who, half mod

oath, an Idea occurred to me. The Roman
lady was about the same figure as myself;
perhaps at pinch might

He explained it to me at great length,
showing me all that was still lacking to his
statue, and which he could by no means
give it without model Poor fellow! He
had such heartbroken air as he said this
Do you know what did? Well, l bravely
picked up the drapery which was lying in
a corner; | went into my hiding place;
then, very softly, without saying a word,
while he was still looking at his
statue, l placed myself on the platform
in front Of him, in the costume and attitude
in which | had seen that abominable model.
All, my dearl What emotion | felt when
he raised his eyes! l could have laughed
and cried. was blushiug all overs And
that tiresome muslin took SO much arrang-

least this was what Etienne tried to demon
strate at great length with all sorts Of de-
tails and technical words. He really looked
very unhappy. | watched him out of the
the corner of my eye while | dried my
tears, and | saw that my grief affected
him deeply. At last, after an endless
discussion, it was agreed that since the
model was indispensable | should be there
whenever she came. There CHANGED to be
on one side of the studio very convenient
little lumber room, from which | could see
without being seen. l ought to be ashamed,
you will say, of being Jealous of such kind
Dt creatures, and of showing my jealousy !;
out, my pet, you must have gone thrC ugh
these emotions before you can offer an opin-
Ion bout them.
Next day the model was to be there.

stalled myself in the hiding place, with the
Express condition that at the least tap at the

Town her back in glossy heaviness. IL was

FIRE MADE TO ORDER.
How Matches Are Made-Flrst Steps
Toward a Useful lnveation.
From the Washington Star.


Toward a Useful lnvention.
From the Washington Star
Every mau, woman and child in Europe
and America, taking the average, uses
eight matches every day in the year.
Does it not seem wonderful when one con-
siders the enormous number of matches
which. at that rate, the civilized world uses
each year to light its fires, It's pipes and
cigars and other things which require ignit-
ing for purposes of everyday convenience?
The very notion of getting ON without
them seems 80 absurd That one does not
realize that it is only within the last sixty
years that they have been procurable. How
marvelously cheap they are, toof In fact,
there is no product of human manufacture
that better illustrates the expeuse-saving
advantages of machinery. When one Una
chine will turn out ID, OOO, QUO matches in ten
hours, why should not mankind regard the
phenomenon of fire as too commonplace to
be worthy of serious considerations
Sweden is the great match maker of the
world, but the industry is conducted on an
enormous scale in the United States and
other countries. The wood used is chiefly
pine, white or yellow. Timber for the pur-
pose is cut out in blocks fifteen inches long
long enough to make seven matches.
After being freed from the bark the blocks
are put into a machine resembling a turn
ing lathe, with a fixed cutting tool by
which O continuous strip of veneer Is turned
off precisely the thickness Of a mitch. While
this is being done small knives separate the
sheet of veneer into seven bands so that
seven long ribbons are produced, the width
of each just the length of the match that is
