she had never meant to say mo- to

elf he'd only come backr" she would
say to herself. 81 never knew how much
cared for him until he went away"
One evening her father came in and
said:
"Well. Smith will be back tomorrow
and I'm glad of il. The business hasn't
away"
From her father Miss Brown learned
that the private secretary was expected
In on one of the French steamships, and
that most of the clerks in the banking
house were going to the dock to meet
him.
The French steamship which came up
past Sandy Hook that morning was
slowed down long enough to take aboard
a pilot. And with the pilot came aboard
another gentleman who, the pilot said,
was a friend Of his. The other was
Smith, who had only that morning left
the small hotel at which he had been
staying and got aboard the pilotboat.
He was attired in the costume usually
affected by tourists. He had grown
stouter and become bronzed during his
stay at the Highlands.
When Smith had been greeted by his
friends in the Office the senior member
of the firm invited him to dinner. he
marked; and with approval, that Smith
seemed more anxious to talk about bust
ness than the places he had visited in
Europe.
They had reached the house, and
Smith was passing toward the library,
when he suddenly came face to face
with Miss Brown.
"Oh, Gus-Mr. Smith," said she,
startled for The moment into betraying
herself, I'm so glad that you have
come back-because-beca papa has
missed you so much" she added. But
Mr.. Smith did not believe it was alto
gether on her fathers account she was
glad he had returned, and later in the
evening inquired more particularly into
the matter.
A short time afterward the signs on
the banking house were changed. There
after they read, Brown, Blue & Smith,

He Makes Cyclones.

Professor Douglass has succeeded in
manufacturing miniature cyclones and
tornadoes by means Of electricity, thus
proving the electrical character Of the
"prairie terrors." In carrying out his
plans he suspended large copper plate
by silken threads and charged it from a
battery. He then used arsenious acid
gas, whereupon the combination of gas
and electricity could be seen hanging
from the under side of the plate in the
form of perfect funnel shaped cyclone
cloud. When everything was ready
the professor swung the plate and the
miniature cyclone to and fro across a
table Uttered with matches, pieces of
paper, pens, pencils, etc. The lighter
objects were instantly sucked up, the
heavier scattered in all directions. The
effects were exactly those of destructive
cyclones.
These curious experiments explain cy-
clonic phenomena. Low clouds become
charged with electricity, descend and
form connection with the earth. Then
a violent electrical commotion ensues,
finally settling into a whirl which con-
tinues until an electric equilibrium is
established.-St Louis Republic.

Lusr AND LOVE.


We left the swart bank of the sluggish Nile.
Where fleets of traffic block its gaping
mouth.
And over many q tedious inland mile
We journeyed toward the south
At last we came beside q stony pile
That reared its head above the drifted
sand,
Looking across the ages with smile
could not understand.
I9azed upon that sight a weary while,
A woman's head, with body of beast,
And vainly tried the twain to reconcile.
Until the night had ceased.
We fioated back by lotus lake and isle,
And watched the ibis take his monday
rest
Beside the sca1y sluggard crocodile,
Our riddle still unguessed.
But 10, the storms of lust at times deiIe
My body couchant where the sandbeds
drift;
And yet above the vicious and the vile
A skyward face lift.
The lions body of bestial guile,
The human face that loves, believes and
thinks,
Unlock the puzzle of the quaint old style
That built the symbol Sphinx.
