Florence Bassett is Mrs. Peter Stevens,
the loving, happy wife of a strong and
loyal man. And with whom does the
reader suppose they play bezique these
wintry nights in slush bound New York?
Why, with Mr.. and Mrs. Atwood, to be
sure, and Mrs. Atwood is none other
than our affable and sensible Miss Sophia.
After Mrs. Ex's table was so broken up
by the departure of the Bassetts, Stevens
and Quire, Mr.. Atwood and Miss Sophia
were left quite dangerously alone. At
wood, as the magnate had said, knew a
good thing when he saw it, and for that
reason, in his silent and matter of fact
way, had been thinking Miss Sophia over
for some time; and so one day he told
her she would do, and she did. The con-
sequence is, as they say in the circuitous
game of that name, that she is now a
happy mother, rides in her own carriage,
and will no doubt be wealthy woman.
Mr.. Atwood, after the diplomatic cpl
sode which gave Stevens his opportunity,
had his salary raised for the tact he had
displayed in betraying by express di-
rection, certain alleged secrets whereby
a large flock of credulous ''lambs" STUN
bled over one another in their eagerness
20 get first to the shearer's knife. To
these poor, shivering folk the sold Man"
did not figure as a benevolent genie, but
as an abhorred wrecker lighting false
beacons on 4 dangerous coast. Stevens,
as n clerk in the company's Office,
learned the history of the case, and had
his laugh over the incident with At
wood, whom he came TO like, and whom
he Sound, like other men, to be, outside
of the tricks of his trade, an honorable
man.
The member failed of reelection. The
invalid still lives, and SO do the French
spoilation claims.
\ great author, after scattering calam-
ity with a reInorseless hand among his
characters, dismisses one of them as fol-
lows: "He also came to a tragic end-he
married" But a more shocking fate
even than this awaited Windward Bas-
sett-he is still bachelor!
THE END.

phrasing Horace, Gas we'll might a read
er expect completeness in the preface as
in life, that preface to eternity" Never
theless a novel reader does expect COM
pleteness, pays for the volume on that
understanding, and very properly feels
cheated if on examination he finds his
little toy world only half done. What,
then, has happened in the four years
that have elapsed since the principal
events that have been narrated in the
foregoing pages?
Col. McArdle and Louise were married
in the spring, went abroad on an extend
ed wedding trip, and since their return
have lived quietly and happily in Wash
ingtOn. They have one son-Thomas
Bassett McArdle..
Louise's change of identity and her
marriage threw Miss Clara Willis into a
delicious fever of excitement, and amply
confirmed her belief that ''Lulu Shelf
field was splendid, but deep, very deep"
Clara is still single, though now that
Lieut.. Quire has returned from the Ash
attic station they are much together, and
rumor has it that they are more than
''onIy friends" despite Miss Clara's dec
laration to that effect.

His Great Chnnce.

A small boy few years ago used to
be the terror of his family and all his
friends, because of his passion for max
ing what they called remarks" These
remarks were wont to be of the most
original and personal character, and one
or two of them in an evening were suf-
ficient to bring panic into the midst of
the most hilarious gathering. One day
Georges mother was going to make q
call upon some friends. George begged
to be allowed to go, toe.
''No," said his mother, "you can't goi
you'll make remarks"
''No, 1 won't, pleaded George. And
his mother gave up and took him along,
after first telling him that there was a very
queer old gentleman in that house, and
that he must promise not TO say anything
about the old gentleman's wig. George
promised faithfully, of course.
Now, this old man was remarkable for
having very long white beard and a
very glossy and very black wig, which
gave him a rather unique, not to say
startling, appearance. George kept his
word during the entire call. Not a
word of comment or criticism about
the wig was offered. But just as they
rose to leave Georgie's mother saw
with terror that the youngster was siding
up to the old gentleman, with his eyes
fixed intently on the top of his head.
And before she could reach the child
they all heard him say, in q hoarse and
confidential whisper, "See here, old man,
if you'd put on striped clothes, and go to

Then, of course, the mother at once
took her boys part against himself.
"Why, Windward, ycS did all you
could, I'm sure. You camedown here to
oblige him. You never expected to get
any money; at least I'm sure l didn't.
And now 1 hope you see the folly and
ruin of it all and will give it up and go
back to New York"

said Windward.
"Well, they'll starve on the claim, re-

right to tell him there was no chance,
and think he might better have kept

HOW TO MAKE GAS,
III Can Do 1t at Home With Coal and a
TOba pcO pine

You Can Do 1t at Home With Coal and q
Tobacco Pipe.
To make coal gas is very easy. Most
schoolboys know how to do it at a few
minutes notice. Here is the process
which tried hundred times or more
before was ten years old.
Get little bit Of bituminous coal-as
much as the size of walnut will an
swer Pound it small, almost into dust,
with hammer or cobblestone. Take
an ordinary tobacco pipe lone with a
long stem is preferably and ELL it with
the pounded coal, pressing it pretty
closely with your thumb should have
said nearly fill it
On the top press down some tough
clay, reduced to the consistency of
putty being tempered with little Wa
ter. Then insert the pipe filed with coal
and closely covered with the tenacious
clay, carefully between the bars of the
CRATE, so that the clay on the top of the
bowl may not be disturbed.
In a minute or two the heat of the
fire evolves carburetted hydrogen gas
from the coal in the pipe.
If the covering be compact and COM
plete the gas flows out of the long stem
of the pipe, which projects out of the
fire, and you eau Immediately see and
smell it
The smell is that of escaped gas
which is so unpleasant and unwhole-
some when perceived and swallowed in
a room-and the appearance is that of
a thick smoke. Then apply a match to
this vapor, which, being inhammable,
instantly all is afame-burning bright
" until all the coal in the bowl of the
pipe has parted with its gas. When this
is done there is an end to the flame.
Take the pipe out of the fire, remove
the clay cover of the bowl, and the re-
sidum remaining therein is coke!
Now, this is the distillation of gas
from coal which lights our houses and
streets-only at the gas works the vapor
is submitted to processes which purify
1t, thereby producing clearer and
brighter light when burning, What is
left after making the gas has CONNER
cial value.-N. Y. Recorder.

CHAPTER xxx.
A BAD DAY FOR MRS. Elk.


When Windward came down late to
breakfast the following, or rather the
same, morning, he found a letter beside
his plate. The postmark was familiar,
though the handwriting was not, and he
tore the envelope Openrather impatiently.
"That tedious Blammsr' he exclaimed.
But he was mistaken. Blamms was to
bore him no more.
''Whewl- he whistled, as his eyes ran
down the page. 1t read as follows:
Mr.. Windward Bassett:'
Ny DEAR SIR have to inform you that Mr..
Blamms, at whose instance, Ibelieve. you went
to Washington, Is deceased. He had been sub
ject to melancholy for some time, and ycster-
day he was found hanging in his barn with life
extinct. His pecuniary circumstances have of
late been stTaitened, and they weighed upon
his mind till il gave way. regret to say that
his family are destitute so that hope You will
spare no effort TO press the claim in order to
assist them in this extremity.
The letter was signed by a lawyer of
the village, who, evidently, was N charge
of the dead mans business affairs.
The missive slipped from his hand.
"Am I guilty." he thought. Reason
said, mo, You did all you could, and
you told the truth but conscience
pricked him still. "Am 1 guilty." he
repeated after he had reasoned his in
nocence out quite clearly.
With heavy heart he sought the
family. Mother, " said he, 'Mr. Blamms,
my client, has committed suicide"
"Why, Windward, how shockingT she
replied.
Eyes, indeed, " said Windward. And
now, of course, l wish I'd worked harder
and done more"

Editor in Chief (angrily)-What does
this mean, sir? The paper will be the
laughing stock of the town Here we
print an elaborate criticism of a new
play which we state was presented last
night, but which everybody knows was
not produced at-all. The star met with

Managing Editor-Our dramatic crit
ic had attended the rehearsals, and his
criticism was prepared in advance. In
stead of coming to the Office to notify Us
not to publish it, he sent a L. :e essanser.

an important matter to 8 chance messen-
ger, and intend to make an example of
him.

SAVAGRS ON BOARD
Over 300 Gilbert Islanders on
an American Brig.
SECURELY LOCKED IN TIE HOLD.

Plantations as Slaves

Federal Omcials to Make an Examination
To-day Determined to Find Out the
Facts About the Cargo of Human
Freight--Fears Expressed that the Cap.
tain VIII Slip Away.
SAN FRANCIsco, Sep. SIN brakes
Bay, ten miles from this city, lies the
American brig Tahiti with 300 Gilbert
Islanders securely locked in the hold.
The vessel put into that obscure port,
the Captain says, because he wanted tc
repair damages by storm and he didn't
want to be bothered by the curiosity
seekers who would have swarmed over
his boat in this harbor.
The destination of the Tahiti and her
cargo of savages is San Benito, Mexico,
where these poor beings are being taken
ostensibly under contract to work on cof-
fee plantations.
To those familiar with the history Of
the abuses that have been practiced on
unfortunate Islanders who have been
conveyed from their homes in the past to
work in other countries it will seem AT
least singular that so many Of them are
crowded on board an American brig ly-
ing in American water5.
1t may be that the human cargo OF
the Tahiti will meet with better treat
meut in Mexico than their unfortunate
countrymen have experienced elsewhere
and that the Tahiti is engaged in legiti-
mate traffic, but it is at least Singular
that the brig, when compelled to put
into port from stress of weather, should
have made for the isolated cove known
as Drake's Bay, when the port of San
Francisco was so near.
Federal officials were seen and Collec-
tor Phelps said he would send tug to
the brig this afternoon and ascertain Just
whGt was her cargo of living freight. To-
day the captains were changed and fears
are expressed that the brig may give the
customs officers the slip.
Those familiar with the traffic say that
these 300 Islanders are virtual slaves.

the American who was on Saturday last
arrested at Mayence, Germany, on the
charge of being spy, has been liberated,

was seized by the German authorities and
searched for evidence of his guilt, but to
no purpose.
Graves, it has been discovered, is the

He has been in the employ of the Penn
sylvania Railroad for some years, and is
one of its most trusted employees. He
